    On the vast sea, ten big fortune ships were spread out in a wild goose formation, cutting through the waves and moving forward into the distance.

    On the "Taishan" at the head, Du Mingen was opening the calendar. It had been ten days since he left Tianjin Port. At this time, he had left the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea and entered the East China Sea.

    Because I had the experience of going to North Korea once, this journey went very smoothly without any disturbances. There was plenty of fresh water and food on the ship, and the crew members were in very good condition, so Du Mingen did not plan to go to North Korea.  Stop and prepare to go directly to the Japanese side.

    After stopping once at the Japanese side to replenish food and fresh water, we then followed the navigation route and strategy provided by Liu Jin, heading all the way north, then crossing the strait between the two later continents, and then heading east to reach the Golden Continent.

    One advantage of this route is that it is not too far away from the land. When encountering a critical situation, they can park towards the land and get fresh water. As for food, the food they carry is enough for them to eat for a long, long time.

    Another advantage of this route is that it can use ocean currents to sail faster. Along the Japanese coast, there is a Japanese warm current that is well known to everyone in later generations. Of course, it was now renamed the Japanese warm current by Liu Jin.

    Arriving at the northwestmost point of Golden Continent is also known as Alaska in later generations. After arriving here, it is very safe to go south along the west coast of Golden Continent.

    This route is rarely taken by people in later generations, because later generations will basically take a closer route, that is, the route from Japan to Hawaii, and then to the Americas in later generations. This route is much closer, and there are many more that can be left.  distance.

    And if you keep going north, there will be a big danger, that is, ice floes from the Arctic Ocean. Once the ship hits the ice floes, it will be doomed. This is why Liu Jin chose to start in summer.  At that time, there were relatively fewer ice floes, so it was naturally safer.

    "Mr. Du, it's time for lunch."

    Just as Du Mingen was counting the time silently, someone came in and reminded him.

    "Hmm~"

    Du Mingen nodded slightly, put down the calendar in his hand and went to the restaurant on the ship.

    Lunch was very rich, with a lot of seafood. Although the food on the ship was sufficient, no one knew what would happen on the sea route, so in order to save food as much as possible, there was a small ticket on the back of these ships.  Trawling can also be used to fish while walking on the sea, which allows the crew to eat endless seafood every day.

    As for how to eat seafood, they have long been accustomed to slicing it and eating it with sauce. This is also a specialized training content and project in the Maritime Academy.

    It¡¯s not as easy to make a fire on the sea as it is on land. Although a lot of briquettes and wood have been prepared on the ship, in line with the principle of making what you can, eating it directly by slicing it is the most energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

    All kinds of seafood, except those that must be cooked with fire, most of them are sliced, and the crew members also enjoy eating them. After getting used to eating them raw, not only will they not feel any discomfort, but also  You can also taste the most original delicious food, which is also the most nutritious way to eat.

    In addition to seafood, there are rice porridge and noodles. As for vegetables, they are dehydrated vegetables soaked in water. Although they taste terrible, they are still popular items. People who eat meat every day turn away when they see vegetables.  Light, each person only has one spoonful per meal.

    Eating is very leisurely, and the time on the sea is always very long. Eating is also a way to pass the time. Everyone chats with each other while eating, and a meal takes almost half an hour.

    After lunch, everyone can have a cup of tea. The cup is a small cup made of bamboo tube. In order to prevent it from being broken by the bumps in the sea, things like porcelain can basically be used as they are, and they are made of other materials.  substitute.

    Tea is also for better digestion for the crew. If you eat sea fish regularly and don¡¯t eat vegetables and drink tea, your digestive system will become very poor. The digestive system will directly affect the health of the crew, so even though fresh water  Very precious, but tea after a meal is essential.

    After drinking tea, Du Mingen habitually walked around the ship. Firstly, he wanted to take a walk after the meal to eat. Secondly, as a captain, he had to know everything on the ship at all times and the situation of the crew members. Once something happened,  When a crisis occurs, we can respond promptly.

    The situation is very good. Everything on the ship is in good condition. The crew members are also in good condition. No one has a cold or cough.

    ??Arriving at the stern of the ship, Du Min'en looked at the other nine ships following him. The sails were swollen by the wind. The crew on board were walking leisurely on the deck, or playing with each other to pass the boring time.

    Looking to the west, Du Mingen tried to see something, but above this vast sea, no matter which direction he looked from, it was the same. It was an endless sea. Between the water and the sky, it seemed that he could touch it.  The clouds in the sky seem to be a long road leading to the sky.

    The sun gradually sets in the west, and the sky in the west is dyed red. Under the reflection of the sea water, the water and sky seem to be burning like a raging fire, which is very beautiful.

    But for everyone who has been going to sea for a long time, everyone has long been tired of watching it, and there is nothing new.

    Night falls, the stars twinkle, and the moon shines brightly in the sky.

    Du Mingen took out the sextant and quickly found the North Star in the sky. Then he used the sextant to measure, recorded the measured data, and then started calculating against the chart.

    "We have already arrived in the south of North Korea. We should be able to go to Muma Island tomorrow (Jeju Island in later generations was not called Jeju Island in this era. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty set up a Muma Mansion here to raise horses.  , and it is also a place used to exile prisoners in North Korea)."

    Holding a pencil, Du Mingen carefully drew a circle on the location of Muma Island.

    Early the next morning, Du Min'en's flagship used semaphore to convey the message to other ships to go to Muma Island. According to the itinerary, Du Min'en's fleet will be anchored at Muma Island for a few days.

    During this process, the fleet will replenish supplies such as fresh water, food, medicine, etc. Of course, the more important thing is to allow the crew to land on land and rest for a few days on land to restore their condition to their best.

    By the afternoon, Du Min'en had already seen the chirping of seagulls near the fleet. From time to time, groups of seagulls would come to rest on the masts and sails of the ship. Du Min'en knew that the fleet was very close to Muma Island.  .

    "Captain, we have found land directly ahead~"

    Sure enough, the crew member responsible for the lookout on the mast quickly reported it to Du Mingen. Du Mingen also quickly took out his telescope and looked directly ahead. Sure enough, he saw a piece of land.

    "Haha, we finally arrived at Muma Island. Send the order, let's go to Muma Island and have a good rest for a few days."

    Du Mingen immediately laughed happily and immediately announced the good news to everyone. At the same time, the sailor in charge of the semaphore immediately conveyed Du Mingen's order to other ships.

    ¡°We finally arrived at Muma Island, now we can have a good rest.¡±

    "I hope there is a Yihongyuan or something on the island, and then we can go together to vent."

    "Haha, why are you thinking so much about these things? Can you be successful?"

    "I'm not full of blood~"

    When the crew members heard this, they immediately laughed happily. The first stop to the Golden Continent had finally arrived.

    Du Mingen also smiled when he heard the discussion among the crew members. It was natural that this group of old men would make some nasty remarks, and he also maintained a tacit attitude towards this.

    When night was about to fall, the fleet finally arrived at Muma Island. The arrival of ten large fortune ships also frightened the Koreans on Muma Island.

    At first, I thought they were pirates. After Du Mingen and others informed them of their identities, they lowered their guard and warmly entertained them.

    Although Muma Island is not big and has a small population. In this era, it was a place where prisoners were exiled. However, it is still a big island after all. It has all kinds of supplies, even the places that the crew are most looking forward to. Although  The scale is small and the girls are average.

    But for the already frustrated crew members, these are no longer important. After throwing in a lot of money, the Koreans on Muma Island became extremely enthusiastic and entertained them heartily.

    The fleet rested on Muma Island for three full days. After three days of training, the crew's condition returned to its peak again and continued sailing towards the second stop of Japan.

    "It seems that every time we go to a place in the future, we still need to let the boys vent."

    Du Mingen looked at the mental state of the crew, and he couldn't help laughing. The red building on Muma Island really made a profit this time. It was almost contracted by the crew for three days, and thousands of big men actually  Let the girls in the Red Mansion suffer from back pain.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
