As time passed day by day, the fleet continued to move towards the north.
On the ¡®Taishan¡¯, Du Mingen habitually looked around the sea with a telescope every day, looking for land, ice floes, and the like.
"According to calculations, it should be land in this area. Logically speaking, it should be discovered in these two days."
Wearing a thick cotton coat, he wrapped himself in three layers and looked toward the northwest sea, trying to find traces of land.
At this time, Du Mingen's fleet had almost reached the vicinity of the Kamchatka Peninsula, where the polar bear would come later. He was also preparing to take a final rest in this area, replenishing fresh water and firewood on the ship, and by the way, let the crew return to land to have a good time. take a break.
"Land~Land~"
Just as Du Mingen was deep in thought, the lookout on the ship's mast shouted excitedly, and all the crew members on the ship hurriedly walked out of the cabin.
The presence of land means that they can replenish their supplies. With plenty of fresh water, they can take a comfortable bath and clean up their personal hygiene; with sufficient firewood, they can also have a delicious barbecue. If this is a certain In this country, they can even spend money to find women and vent their abundant energy.
In short, for those who sail on the sea, there is nothing more joyful than seeing land.
"Send the order to other ships to find a suitable location. Let's go to land and take a good rest."
When Du Mingen heard this, he immediately laughed. As expected, it was not much different from what he had calculated. The map Liu Jin gave him was too accurate.
Soon, the flagman on the "Taishan" began to wave small flags of several colors to convey Du Mingen's order to other ships.
Finding a suitable anchoring place was not a problem for those of them who had undergone long-term training and study. The fleet moved along the land and soon found a river flowing out of the land. Such places are often Best for mooring boats.
When a ship walks in the sea, the bottom will be adhered to by various marine organisms. These attachments will greatly corrode the hull, so these attachments need to be cleaned regularly.
If conditions permit, of course it is to drive into the port for specialized cleaning, but when sailing on the ocean, there are no such conditions at all, and driving into fresh water is a very good way to clean up.
The attachments to the bottom of the boat are marine organisms. They are accustomed to salt water and will die in large numbers when they come to fresh water, which can play a role in cleaning the bottom of the boat.
In addition, where there are rivers, it is easier for boats to anchor, and it is more convenient to replenish fresh water.
Liu Jin had already taught all this knowledge when he was in class at Tianjin Maritime College, and Du Mingen naturally remembered it firmly.
The fleet anchored in this unknown freshwater river. The thousands of crew members on board the ten Dafu ships were already going crazy. They didn¡¯t need Du Mingen¡¯s order at all. Everyone excitedly stepped onto the land and began to rest.
The division of labor on the fleet is very clear, and it is also the same after arriving on land. Some people go to cut down trees and store wood, which are essential for life and heating on the ship.
Someone went to look for drinkable fresh water, cleaned the large barrels storing fresh water on the ship, and refilled them with fresh fresh water.
Others bring weapons such as crossbows, swords, and muskets and hunt around to see if they can hunt some animals. In this way, everyone will no longer have to eat bacon and fish and can relax. Smooth taste.
There are also people who specifically look for some plants, algae, fungi, etc., which can be eaten as vegetables and used to supplement vitamins. The crew members who eat meat every day need these things.
Everyone has their own things to do, and they all need to complete them as much as possible while on land.
¡°The scenery is really beautiful, but it¡¯s a pity that there aren¡¯t any people around~¡±
Du Mingen came to the land and looked at the desolate scene in front of him. The mountains in the distance were covered with white snow, and there were large forests at the foot of the mountains. It was autumn at this time, and the yellow and red leaves formed a gorgeous scenery. Feeling relaxed and happy.
Some people in the fleet began to set up tents and build stoves at the foot of the mountain. Further away, there were teams of crew members holding various weapons and began to explore in all directions.
Monkey and Silly Bear led three people to form a five-person team. Among the five people, some held crossbows, some held swords, and some held muskets. They were fully armed and very effective.Walking freely on this uninhabited land.
Silly Bear Man is tall and strong. He holds a mace weighing several dozen kilograms in his hand. He keeps waving and moving it from time to time. The mace weighing several kilograms looks like wood in his hand. Toys are average.
"It's better to find a group with fresh water. I drank all the water in the river just now. It's very sweet. It must be snow water from the snow-capped mountains."
People have an instinctive fear of exploring unfamiliar places, and the same goes for monkeys. He is a little envious of those who collect fresh water.
¡°Isn¡¯t it good to go out and walk around here?¡±
Silly Bear touched his head. He was exhausted on the boat. Now he can walk around. He feels pretty good.
"Okay, of course. Who knows what kind of monsters there might be in a place like this."
The monkey shook his head helplessly and said, talking to this stupid bear always feels like playing the piano to a cow.
"What are you afraid of when there are monsters? My mace is not vegetarian either."
When Silly Bear heard this, he waved the mace in his hand and said confidently.
"There are deer herds, there are deer herds~"
At this time, the teammates around him excitedly pointed to a place in front and said.
"Herd of deer?"
When Monkey and Silly Bear heard this, they immediately became energetic. They were already tired of eating bacon and fish, so it would be a good choice to replace it with venison, so they quickly looked over.
On a flat ground not far ahead, I saw hundreds of deer eating moss leisurely. These deer were huge, much larger than the sika deer of the Ming Dynasty. What was even more peculiar was that these deer The antlers are very huge, like giant millstones.
"What kind of deer is this?"
"This one has a head like a horse, antlers like a deer, and a neck like a camel."
The monkey picked up the telescope, looked at it carefully and said that he had never seen such deer before. If Liu Jin were here, he would be able to recognize them at a glance. These are reindeer unique to the cold zone.
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter what kind of deer it is, as long as the meat is delicious.¡±
Silly Bear didn't have the time to care what kind of deer these deer were. He felt hungry now and had vomited after eating fish on the boat. He now wanted to change his taste and taste the barbecue, so he hurriedly carried it He walked towards the reindeer herd with his mace.
"Are all these deer stupid?"
"Why don't you look afraid of us at all?"
As they got closer and closer to the herd of deer, the monkeys and the silly bears soon discovered something. These deer seemed not to be afraid of people at all. When they saw the silly bears approaching, they would not rush away like other animals. , but all looked at Silly Xiong and others curiously.
"Let's just call him Silly Deer. He's stupid. I guess he and Silly Bear are the same family. You won't go away even if you hit him with a mace."
The monkey looked at these silly deer and couldn't help but smile. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
