The sea from Daxia to the Japanese side is not always calm.
After leaving the coast of Dongzhou, it can be clearly felt that there are currents in this sea. This was already known when I asked the Japanese prisoners.
For the previous Japanese ships, they successfully drifted from the Japanese side to this side through these currents. Their speed and power along the way basically relied entirely on this current.
This speed can be very fast, and combined with the force of the wind, if you go from the Japanese side to the Daxia side, you can go day and night.
This time, the Japanese ships deviated slightly from their original direction due to the hurricane.
Although there is no problem in generally heading towards Daxia.
But there are some deviations.
The most important thing is that the boosting effect of this ocean current is lost.
It wasn't until they found this current that they knew the current landing site in Dongzhou, Daxia relatively accurately.
For the current Japanese, there is no navigation technology that is ahead of Daxia. The most important thing is navigation experience.
Ocean currents generally do not change.
Only by finding this current and cooperating with some specific water-fetching islands can we reach Dongzhou on the Daxia side so accurately.
After Zhang Bao and the others were on the boat, they had been looking for another sea current that the Japanese mentioned.
According to those Japanese people, if they could successfully locate the current here, it would be easier for them to use the power of the current to reach the Japanese side.
Currently, Zhang Bao and the others are barely holding on on the ship.
Although many people had adapted to these ships for a long time before, when these ships came to the deep sea, many people still became seasick under the action of the waves.
Fortunately, the weather has been relatively good during the past few days of sailing.
The view is good and there is no problem for navigation.
"Sir, if our position is correct, if we travel in this direction for two more days, we will be able to see a small island. Do we need to land on this small island by then?"
Huang Hai asked Zhang Bao.
Huang Hai is the captain of this warship. Ever since the ship was built, Huang Hai has been leading the people to drive it. He is very familiar with this ship.
"At present, we have quite sufficient reserves. We only need to locate it through that island, and there will be no problems later."
"Go on, speed up!"
"Let those people adapt slowly during the sailing process. You can't wait until they are better before sailing. Take advantage of the current good weather and hurry up as soon as possible."
Zhang Bao said to Huang Hai.
"yes!"
"I'll notify them as soon as possible!"
Huang Hai nodded.
Currently, with the blessing of ocean currents, the speed is much faster than normal wind strength.
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
For current ships, although the speed is much faster, the degree of shaking is also much greater.
In this case.
There will be more and more people experiencing various maladaptive reactions.
But it’s the same as what Zhang Bao said.
During this process.
This is the first time for many people to go to the deep sea.
Especially this time, in order to go to the Japanese side to fight, Zhang Bao and the others specially selected a lot of troops, and the number of people was much larger than before.
I have to say that this time it will be a very risky thing.
But Zhang Bao couldn't care less. If he did everything timidly, there would be no good opportunities at all.
If we go to Japan this time, it will be an epic voyage.
If we can successfully reach the Japanese country this time, at least we will have a large number of people with experience in long voyages.
In this way, the sea route can proceed smoothly.
The current situation seems to be that only this Japanese country has taken action against Daxia.
Mainly because of the location of the Japanese country.
But in this world, since there is a Japanese country, it means that there will be other places.
Zhang Bao doesn't worry too much about things on land, it's just a matter of time, but things at sea also need to be developed simultaneously.
Look at previous history.
Navigation technology is the most critical to opening up commerce and conducting wars.
Moreover, the geographical environment of Daxia can also determine the enemies Daxia currently encounters. In many aspects, they can only come from the sea.
Just like the current Japanese country, for Daxia.
If they had not brought this kind of shipbuilding technology and explosives technology, they would not have the ability to deal with the ships coming from the Japanese country.
Not to mention the later stage, what Zhang Bao has to do now is to avoid similar situations from happening before.
No matter whether we close the country or build a car behind closed doors, it all starts from the sea.
Zhang Bao hopes that this kind of shipping technology and route can be regarded as a very common thing.
This is what he hopes to see.
Zhang Bao believes that after this expedition to Japan, the ordinary people of Daxia will have a sense of conquest of the sea.
This vast and boundless sea is no longer as mysterious as before.
After Zhang Bao and his fleet went to sea, Dongzhou also started to get busy.
According to Zhang Bao's previous thoughts, when Zhang Bao and his fleet came back from Japan, it would also be a brand new journey.
They need to locate the bay where the shipyard on the Dongzhou side is located. This is where they are challenged.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to do something completely new.
Just having instructions and records of the route is not enough. You must go through the process in person.
This is the case for Zhang Bao and the others.
so.
Only then could Fang Fu and the others make some arrangements simultaneously on the coast of Dongzhou.
Especially watchtowers and lighthouses.
Although there is no lighthouse at present, as long as Zhang Bao and the others built that kind of tall tower in the process.
On this tower, some lanterns and the like are used as reminders, which also have a similar function as a lighthouse.
Although the light is a little weaker, it is still better than nothing.
Dongzhou now.
It was almost empty.
From grain and grass to gold and silver, Dongzhou has been completely emptied of the supplies currently needed by Zhang Bao and others for their voyage.
In order to achieve the current situation that Zhang Bao and the others wanted to go to sea as soon as possible, the materials prepared by Fang Fu and the others were obtained from various places at high prices.
As a result, the invisible cost is very high.
