Xiong Yu looked at the small characters on the ring, and his heart moved. Isn't the second year of Xuantong the same as 1910?

That era was the most chaotic era in China, the last year of the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and also the eve of the First World War.

However, how could this ring engraved with Chinese characters appear in the mouth of a fish?

Xiong Yu was puzzled, he could not get any more news with only one ring, thought for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Maybe I was thinking too much, this ring should just fall into the sea by accident The fish ate."

Xiong Yu carefully put the ring away, stopped thinking about it, and continued fishing with Bao Sanjin.

About another hour passed.

Xiong Yu looked at the watch on his mobile phone, looked up at Riyue Island, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and said: "It seems something is wrong, judging from the previous plan, arriving at Riyue Island Isn't there another hour?"

Bao Sanjin didn't notice the abnormality yet, so he said casually, "Yes, it should be here soon, what's wrong?"

Xiong Yu's face changed slightly, and he said, "An hour has passed now."

Bao Sanjin also looked at the time with a puzzled expression on his face, then glanced at the opposite side of Riyue Island, and said in surprise: "Hey, why do I feel that the distance from Sunyue Island is still so far, did the captain drive?" Wrong direction, I'll ask."

"Captain, captain, where are you now, why haven't you arrived yet?" Bao Sanjin yelled into the intercom.

There was silence on the intercom for a while, and then a slightly panicked voice appeared, saying, "There is something unusual about this sea area. I have been driving towards Sun Moon Island, but I have never arrived. It seems that I am going around in circles."

Bao Sanjin's face changed, and he immediately remembered the information about this sea area he saw when he came here, and he yelled into the intercom: "Is there something wrong with the navigation system on the ship?"

The captain replied: "The positioning system and navigation system have all failed, and now we can only judge with the naked eye."

Bao Sanjin said in a deep voice, "Have you encountered such a situation at sea before?"

The captain replied: "I have never encountered such a situation, but I have a friend who encountered it once, and then escaped after a near-death experience. I have not asked too much about his specific situation." , I don’t know how he got out in the end.”

Bao Sanjin was silent, glanced at Xiong Yu, sighed and said, "Maybe something really happened."

Xiong Yu took a deep breath, looked at the endless sea, and suddenly said: "Is the outline of the island we saw just a mirage?"

Bao Sanjin was stunned for a moment, and said, "A mirage? Impossible, before our positioning system failed, it showed that we were around Sun Moon Island."

Xiong Yu was also puzzled. From the sea, apart from the endless sea, the outline of Sun Moon Island in front, and the previous navigation and positioning, it really doesn't look like a mirage.

But what else could it be if not a mirage?

Xiong Yu thought for a while, and said to Bao Sanjin: "Come on, let's go to the bridge of the ship to have a look."

Bao Sanjin nodded, got up, threw the fishing rod aside, and walked towards the wheelhouse of the boat with Xiong Yu.

In the wheelhouse, a captain in his forties with a bushy beard was nervously checking various instruments in the cabin. Seeing Xiong Yu and Bao Sanjin come in, he greeted them both.

Xiong Yu walked into the cab, and said directly to the captain: "Before I came here, I carefully read the map. Sun Moon Island should be in the northeast direction of our current position."

The captain glanced at Xiong Yu in surprise, and said, "You are right. Based on my experience, the island should also be to the northeast of us."

Xiong Yu asked, "Can you still tell the direction?"

The captain shook his head: "On the sea, there is no reference at all, and it is impossible to tell the direction at all, but now I can see the outline of the island. We have been driving towards this outline, and there should be no mistakes."

Xiong Yu frowned, and said with some uncertainty: "Is the outline we saw real? I am a doctor and have done some research on human eyes. If we stay in a place without reference objects for a long time, we will Our eyes are likely to deceive us and produce some deviating hallucinations."

The captain froze for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, and said, "That's right, when I was just learning how to sail, an old captain said the same thing, but over the years, we are all accustomed to using electronic navigation, and we have forgotten about these things. gone."

Through the window glass in the driver's cab, Xiong Yu looked towards the blurred outline of Riyue Island. After a long time, he spoke again: "The electronic navigation system is malfunctioning. Why don't you try it with a compass to find the direction."

The captain was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's all electronic navigation now, who still carries that old thing."

Xiong Yu smiled and said, "It just so happens that I have some with me."

While talking, Xiong Yu walked to the room where the luggage was stored, and found a compass bought from the black market among the messy things he brought.

Since many seagoing ships now have modern navigation equipment and advanced satellite positioning, they have basically given up on the compass. When Xiong Yu came, he specially kept a hand and brought the compass array.

The compass was placed in the cab, and after shaking, a direction was specified.

When the captain saw the designated direction, his expression changed immediately, and he said, "We are going in the wrong direction."

Xiong Yu was also a little surprised. It was just a guess before, but now according to the direction specified by the compass, they have deviated from the direction of driving to Sun Moon Island.

Sun Moon Island should be in the northeast direction, but the direction of their boat was heading northwest.

The captain thought of another question, and said, "If we are traveling in the northwest, but Sun and Moon Island is in the northeast, then why do we see Sun and Moon Island in the northwest?"

Xiong Yu thought for a while, then came up with a conjecture, and said: "Our eyes may be deceiving us. The weather is so good now, there is no wind, and the water vapor on the sea is also high. It is very likely that the calm sea is like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight. Moon Island, through the effect of water vapor and sunlight on the sky, presents the outline of Sun Moon Island in the northwest direction."

The captain is also a person who sails on the sea all year round. Hearing what Xiong Yu said, he nodded immediately and said: "It is very possible that in some special areas on the sea, it is not surprising that such a scene is formed. The people who took me before The master often said such things to me, but I didn't pay attention, after all, it is electronic navigation now, and it is rare to get lost."

Xiong Yu said: "If this is the case, can you adjust the direction and follow the correct direction guided by the compass?"

The captain said confidently: "Now the direction has been found. Follow the correct direction, refer to the map, and after correcting the direction, we will be able to reach the place in about an hour and a half."

Hearing what the captain said, Xiong Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he doesn't often travel on ships, and he doesn't have much experience in this area, so he can only make some judgments on such things based on guesswork.

Bao Sanjin was a little confused, he didn't understand anything, but when Xiong Yu and the captain finally came up with a solution, his frown relaxed.

Bao Sanjin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We'll come to this kind of place less in the future. If you really get lost in this vast sea, you're really doomed."

The big boat sailed again, this time Xiong Yu and Bao Sanjin were not in the mood to go fishing anymore, but stayed in the cabin, watching the captain sail the boat.

About half an hour later, the originally very clear sky darkened and became cloudy.

Immediately afterwards, a layer of mist began to rise over the sea surface. This mist appeared very quickly. In just ten minutes, the entire sea was covered with whiteness, and nothing could be seen clearly.

At this time, the plane that took off from the western country and temporarily changed its course also happened to fly into this sea area.

At the same time, the big ship of the Varden family also encountered trouble.
