Chapter 5: Ocean Expedition!
"The ship will be on time tomorrow morning, and the sailing time will be two months and twelve days. The destination is the largest port of Sabethi, the largest country in the western Blue Ocean region. Of course, this is just an open timetable. The real situation is that our merchant ship is best able to encounter the Blue Ocean Shadow Martial Arts Group, or the Pirates Group. If it cannot be encountered, or if the pirate group is too cautious, we need to stay in Salain, the largest port of Sabethi, for two months, and then load a lot of more precious goods back to Haitian Kingdom. It is estimated that it will take more than half a year."
Hao Qi leaned against the wall of a building at the port and smoked. Looking around, the port was near, and the giant ship he and Zhang Heng were on was also in his eyes. It was a super giant ship with a displacement of more than 70,000 tons. At least for this era, it was a super giant ship and one of the giant ships that the Haitian Kingdom could cross the blue ocean.
In the national reward mission of Haitian Kingdom, as long as the shadow of the blue ocean can be destroyed, Hao Qi can get a giant ship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons and a maximum of no more than 80,000 tons in the name of his martial arts brigade. Moreover, the type of ship can be chosen by yourself. This is a very generous reward, and it can cross the blue ocean. Even the ship engineer of Haitian Kingdom said that as long as there is water, the depth and width are enough, there is no need to worry about the sea beast problem.
Next to Hao Qi, Zhang Heng was recording something with a notebook. He recorded and said while recording, "Basically, all the necessities are ready. Are there anything else you need? Do you know that you don't buy those precious items? Although the price is a little expensive, one portion costs millions, it's okay to buy a few portions, right?"
Hao Qi thought for a while and said, "The injury medicine is spared. Unless it is really possible to live dead people and have white bones, the injury medicine is definitely not as useful as internal strength. Even if you suffer a fatal injury, as long as I am next to you, the internal strength can still save you. As for the antidote... Then buy two precious antidotes. If you choose this, you have studied medicine before. Although you have learned it very hard, at least you know more than me."
Zhang Heng nodded, and after the record was completed, he said to Hao Qi: "I asked the personnel at the headquarters of the Martial Arts Group and read some information about the Martial Arts Group. Hao Qi, should our brigade recruit some more personnel? Just the two of us, many matters of the Martial Arts Group cannot be carried out. For example, the brigade lacks a Martial Arts Group financial planner, and is the steward of the Martial Arts Group, and then the manager is also needed, as well as plan to formulate a smart group, and even the brigade guards are needed when they are alive, and there are life..."
Hao Qi waved his hand and said, "What kind of freedom should I pursue? You can just worship it in a country, and then everything will be included by the country. Isn't it easier? It's better for us to be the two of us. Unless we are like-minded companions and partners, I don't plan to recruit members like other martial arts groups."
Zhang Heng suddenly smiled, but he didn't dissuade him anymore, so he went to work on his affairs. Speaking of which, in the brigade, Zhang Heng basically took care of the logistics and other things. Although he was also exploring, he was much more responsible than Hao Qi.
In this way, there was nothing to say that day. The next day, Hao Qi and Zhang Heng boarded the giant ship on time, and the giant ship set out towards the western area of the Blue Ocean.
Hao Qi had never boarded any ocean-going ship in his previous life. Even if he went abroad occasionally, he would just take a plane. This time he boarded an ocean-going ship. Although he still had a mission and was not his own ship, Hao Qi was still so excited that he ran around the deck of the ship, making Zhang Heng keep apologizing to the staff around him.
Then Hao Qi...
Spit...
"I actually...seasy..."
While Hao Qi was talking, he retching to the bucket, and then lying weakly on the bed again. He said dissatisfiedly to Zhang Heng, who was sitting on the chair next to him, reading a book: "Hey! Why can you still be so energetic!?"
Zhang Heng put down his book helplessly and said, "It's probably because of the red blue grass, which has improved my basic physical quality. Speaking of which, can you stop vomiting if you incorporate internal strength into your body?"
Hao Qi said stubbornly: "No! You may not know, but I know very well that the internal force is very sensitive to internal force. Although it is a storm coming on the sea, no one is sure whether my inclusion of internal force will attract the attention of other internal force realms. I would rather vomit, and I will get used to it as I vomit..."
Zhang Heng sighed and continued to read the book, but after a long time he suddenly said, "You attach great importance to this task..."
"Nonsense." Hao Qi said angrily: "Because this is a promise, I will never violate it."
"Is it just like that..." Zhang Heng's silence of voice was transmitted in the howling storm, as if Hao Qi could not hear it on purpose, and he could hear it on purpose. No matter what, Hao Qi did not answer again.
In fact, the days on the ship are very boring. Apart from the freshness at the beginning, Hao Qi lost interest in the sea that has not changed every day and night after at most one week. Moreover, this ship is a giant cargo ship, not a luxury cruise ship with manned capacity. In addition to the staff, there are only Hao Qi and Zhang Heng, and more than a dozen people who are going to the western part of the Blue Ocean, basically there is only boring on this ship.
Every day, Hao Qi tried to find some fun things to play, but unfortunately, there was really nothing fun here. With Hao Qi's internal power realm, even if the ship was driving, he could jump directly into the sea to swim, explore, and catch some fish in the sea alive. This would not be too boring. It's a pity that Hao Qi could not reveal the fact that he was an internal power realm, so he could only be bored every day...
"…So! It's Xu Zhou's turn today to tell stories!"
A month and a half later, the shadow of the blue sea was waiting without any shadow, and the ship was still sailing safely on the blue sea. The unique technology of Haitian Kingdom really ensured that the ship did not encounter any group of sea beasts. At the same time, Hao Qi also had some guesses about the exclusive technology of Haitian Kingdom.
It is sonar, or the sonar after the unique technology of Haitian Kingdom has changed, which emits a sound that only creatures in the sea can hear, which can keep these creatures instinctively disgusted away. Of course, even if Hao Qi knows the principle, he himself cannot make it, and he doesn't know what frequency of sonar can meet the requirements of Haitian Kingdom's technology. No wonder Haitian Kingdom said that ships with a displacement of at least 20,000 tons can use this technology. It is probably an energy problem, and only the steam engine of a giant ship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons can support such energy consumption.
In a month and a half, Hao Qi understood the secret of this technique. At the same time, he also dealt with most of the employees on the ship because he was too bored. It would be okay if he could practice martial arts. However, he was worried about the leakage of internal strength. At most, he could only practice the boxing posture and exercise the subtle parts of his body alive. He could do nothing else. Therefore, his Tianluodi Net Palm is still at level 4, close to level 5. Once he reached level 5, he could mount the Arhat Demon-Subduing Technique. It was a pity that he could not practice Tianluodi Net Palm at all.
So he brags and fucks with these employees every day, and then asks about what they saw and heard on the blue sea, which is his greatest fun recently.
"I'm telling a story?" The middle-aged man named Xu Zhou scratched his head and took a sip of the beer provided by Hao Qi. He was short-speaking. He could only say: "I can't tell any stories, but speaking of it, I have heard many rumors about the Blue Ocean from the older generation, such as I have heard rumors about the blue giant beast Yamon Hadi."
As soon as these words appeared, Hao Qi, who was originally a little careless, became interested immediately. He immediately asked, "Oh oh? Tell me, what kind of rumor is it?"
"It is said that the blue giant beast Yamonhadichi is extremely large. Don't look at me with this look. I am not talking about this... Legend has it that the blue giant beast Yamonhadichi is extremely large and incredibly large. It is estimated that from the legend, the blue giant beast Yamonhadi is probably even larger than the territory of our Haitian Kingdom. Such a huge creature is said to have a very slow metabolism. It wakes up once and will sleep for a hundred years after eating. It is said that when it falls asleep, its head will sink in the water, and its back will rise on the water.
The back will bring out the fertile silt from the seabed from the seabed. At the same time, the seeds of various plant drifting on the sea surface, as well as the seeds brought by birds and beasts will germinate and grow on their surface. In addition, the body surface of the blue giant Yamonhadi will secrete dips. This liquid will provide high nutrients, so these plants will grow very lush and fast. In a few years, the back of the blue giant Yamonhadi will become a dense island forest, and then, an island that has never been recorded before will suddenly appear in the blue ocean."
When Xu Zhou said this, he took another big sip of beer and ate a few sips of side dishes. Then he smiled and said, "How is it? You haven't heard of this rumor? Hahaha."
Everyone around them was so sensible that they all came back to their senses. They all thought that Xu Zhou made up such a legend in order to trick a sip of beer and didn't know how to tell a story. So they began to tease him one after another. Among everyone, only Hao Qi showed a thoughtful expression, and he seemed to have thought of something.
The sudden appearance of unknown islands...
The pirate group that has nowhere to be found...
Does it matter?
