The speed of the fly-scissors is very fast!

Even for Zhu Mingzhong, who was used to sailing at another world at high speed, he was also surprised at the high speed of the fly-scissors.

When the first dawn came, Shi Yiwen used a sextant to measure the latitude of the ship. From the latitude, it can be judged that the "New Hope" has entered the Taiwan Strait. The ships are snatching the wind along the way. Because of the wind, the "New Hope" and "New World" are not on the traditional routes. Perhaps, it is because of this reason that they have not encountered pirates on the way. After all, the pirates of this era are "waiting for the rabbit" near fixed routes.

"What is he doing?"

Once again, when he saw Shi Yiwen fiddling with his instruments, *** was full of doubts, but in addition to doubts, he was a little annoyed.

"Does he really want to take everyone to the dead end?"

The reason why *** had this idea in his mind was that after the ship went out to sea, General Shi was taking the big guy to the dead end.

Not to mention anything else, I don’t know how much risk I take if I just let the ship sail into the "black water ocean". Although I believe that with my own skills, I can still get everyone back to the land safely, but if I let him continue to make trouble like this, something big will definitely happen.

no!

You can no longer let him do whatever he wants!

After making up his mind, *** walked to the side of the side. He saw that General Shi was calculating something there, so he said.

"Secretary General, I have a sentence below that I must say to you!"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Shi Yiwen, who had just found out the latitude of the ship, was surprised. Even though he had just gone out to sea for two or three days, he could feel his resistance to him.

"I thought it would be more appropriate in the cabin."

"Okay, Zhang Qin, you can measure it every hour, and calculate our speed."

After reminding the students that they needed to complete, Shi Yiwen and *** went to the captain's cabin together. When entering the captain's cabin, even though they had full opinions about Shi Yiwen, *** couldn't help but sigh at the brightness of the captain's cabin. The transparent glass windows allowed the sun to shine into the cabin, and ***, who were accustomed to the dim cabin, would always sigh at the uniqueness of the ship.

"General, is there anything wrong?"

Although *** is not a general of the court now, Shi Yiwen still calls him that.

"This...well..."

Hesitated for a moment, *** said.

"That's right, Chief Shi, although you have a noble status, you should listen to me on the boat. After all, I am the leader of a boat."

Because of the other party's noble status, *** was a little dissatisfied, but his tone still seemed very polite.

"I know, the captain on the ship is the largest!"

Shi Yiwen nodded and said.

"Please rest assured, I absolutely agree with this and will not affect your authority!"

The captain on the ship is the core factor in the era of navigation and the fundamental reason why Western powers can travel across the world. Of course, the same is true on the ships of the Ming Dynasty, but in many cases, the captain needs to give in to the powerful.

"And I also think that as a captain, you should have absolute authority in the captain. Anyone who comes to your ship must obey your command!"

Seeing that Shi Yiwen was talking so straightforward, *** couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then tried to say.

"In that case, I hope you will no longer interfere with my command. I will order the ship to sail westward in a while, so that soon we will see the coastal islands and coastlines, and then we can go south along the wind..."

Although he wanted to "regain" command, his tone still seemed very polite.

"I don't know, what does the Chief Executive think?"

"no!"

Shi Yiwen refused directly.

"General Li, don't get me wrong. I'm not going to compete with you for command. Compared to sailing in deep-sea areas, sailing near the coast is very risky. Not to mention the pirates you may encounter, even the messy wind directions, ocean currents and reefs along the coast will have a lot of impact on the navigation. I hope you can understand that I'm not commanding randomly now."

Thinking of his previous maintenance of the captain's command, Shi Yiwen explained again.

"General Li, well, I think this is a scientific experiment. In this experiment, as the captain, I will respect your opinions, but please be sure to believe me. If this experiment is successful, it will fundamentally change the navigation technology."

In the past month, Shi Yiwen was not idle. While the craftsmen were building boats, he had been searching for various navigation books in the space library and studying navigation. Although the navigation books did not tell him how to operate a sailboat, through those books, he learned to use sextant to measure latitude and longitude with clocks. It was also true that he deliberately returned to the capital during this period and then used the observatory in Shitaizhuang - in fact, only simple astronomical equipment such as telescopes taken out of the space library as the prime meridian, and then re-rowed the map.

However, during this voyage, Shi Yiwen made two preparations. On the one hand, he used Shitaizhuang as the "new map" with the prime meridian as the basis, and on the other hand, he also referred to the map of another world. So it was also considered to be a double guarantee, so naturally he was full of confidence in the voyage.

"test?"

"Yes, it's just a test, well, it's an attempt to the latest navigation technology..."

Looking at ***, Shi Yiwen tried to convince him.

"This new navigation technology is not just a sextant, clock and other navigation tools, including the flying scissor ship we are now on, is also a new type of ship. Its speed is at least two or three times that of ordinary ships, but its high speed needs to be navigated in the deep sea to avoid risks such as reefs in coastal areas. Therefore, this requires more advanced navigation methods as a supplement. Now, the test we are conducting is this test..."

Almost as Shi Yiwen's words fell, *** said excitedly.

"But, General Shi, even if he tried again, he could not risk his brothers' lives!"

Faced with the questioning of ***, Shi Yiwen did not explain anything, but raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and then said slowly.

"General Li, if I did not make any mistakes, we should arrive in Penghu in another half an hour."

"This is impossible, you can't know this..."

Twenty years of sailing experience made *** look very stubborn. Faced with his stubbornness, Shi Yiwen smiled.
