Fu Wei said that, but his mood was a little pessimistic.
The search for the legendary super island, which is not much smaller than the mainland, has been ordered by Liu Yan since the eighth year of Yuan Shuo, that is, after destroying the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and taking over the southern coastal territory.
About that super island is looking for seven years, the middle of the exploration of the island is not a few, the relatively larger are Luzon Philippines and Johor Malaysia and other islands, every time I explore the super island, I think I found the super island, but after the report, without exception, it was denied.
It took seven years to do nothing, and Fu Wei didn't think that his luck would be so good, as soon as he took office, he could find that super island and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Son of Heaven.
In the rising sea in spring, it is rare for the weather to be bad, which is why the center has no worries about the three of them taking the same boat, and even Fu Wei and Si Hongzhuang, who are familiar with the sea conditions, are full of care.
In fact, the fleet sailed all the way south, and there was not even the slightest thrilling encounter, if it weren't for the really good scenery along the way, and then the lone merchant ships or the large fleet that could constantly run into each other, I don't know how boring it would be.
"Sailing at sea is inherently boring."
Fu Wei was lying on a wicker chair with a parasol above his head.
He was just wearing a pair of pants, holding a glass of fruit juice in his hand, sucking it with a straw, swallowing it and turning his head to look at Qian Jiantong, who had closed his eyes and didn't know if he was asleep: "It's normal to sail for ten days and half a month, or even longer, and not meet anyone else." ” Qian Jiantong is very unfamiliar with HNA, he was reminded that he can't keep staring at the sunny sea, or because of his lack of experience, he didn't pay much attention to it, and the result was that his eyes went wrong.
Whether it is in the world of ice and snow, or in the environment of the blue sea and blue sky, as long as the sun is sufficient, people really can't always stare at the place where the light is too strong.
Qian Jiantong's eyes were just a small problem, and in addition to sleeping and staying in the cabin, he would inevitably stay in sunglasses as soon as he went on deck.
The so-called sunglasses have long been nothing unusual in the Han Empire, and some pay a lot of money to buy sunglasses with crystal lenses, and buy glass products at will.
Admirals usually buy more than one pair of sunglasses, mainly black lenses, and the rest of them buy lenses in other colors for fun.
If you observe the people on deck, whether they are working or lounging, everyone is wearing a pair of sunglasses.
If they don't still have their hair tied, or they wear sunglasses and most of them are just wearing pants, if they happen to see it, they really can't tell if they are ancient people.
There was a commotion coming from the other ships, and on closer inspection, it was a large group of dolphins chasing the fleet.
Above the surface of the sea, from time to time a figure would rise in the air, and they would flash and then re-enter the sea, and the speed was very fast.
Qian Jiantong was attracted to the side of the gunwale, looked at the rear side according to the guardrail, saw the white figures fluttering up from time to time, and asked curiously: "It's so white, what kind of fish is it?"
Fu Wei happened to come over, looked at it and said, "It's a white dolphin." ” "Ah dolphin" Qian Jiantong was a little stunned: "The dolphin in the sea" In the dictionary of Zhuxia, the dolphin refers to the piglet, and there is also "pig" is a general term for pigs, and "彘" refers to pigs whose hind legs cannot stand upright.
"There's nothing wrong with it, it's a dolphin in the sea, Your Majesty is called a dolphin."
Fu Wei has long lost any curiosity about dolphins, but he also knows that white dolphins are very rare and difficult to see, but blue, black, and spotted dolphins are easy to encounter: "The navy has caught some dolphins for Your Majesty."
His Majesty called the kind of white dolphins we see now Chinese white dolphins, and specially ordered that they should not be killed. ” At present, Zhuxia has many self-names, such as Huaxia, Zhuxia, China, Huaguo, and Central Plains, which have long been spread, but the concept of "China" proposed by Zhong Xin in 300 AD has not yet been popularized.
Liu Yan is "the one who dominates the world", even if it is just a casual remark is worthy of too many people to ponder and study, he mentioned the word "China", people's understanding is the "central country" plus "Huaxia" combined name, but also think that this word is Liu Yan's first mention.
In fact, the understanding is correct, the word "China" is a collective name in history, but it needs to be added to the national name in 1912, and "China" has the meaning of a modern country; In terms of geography, "China" no longer only refers to the Central Plains, but the entire territory of China; In terms of ethnicity, it does not only refer to the Han nationality, but also to all ethnic groups living within the borders of China, including Chinese and ethnic Chinese living overseas.
Although the "Chinese White Dolphin" does not appear many times along the southern coast of the Han Empire, they can be found in many places.
In modern times, the "Chinese white dolphin" has become a very rare species, and it is very difficult to find so little, only the northern part of Australia, the Indian Ocean coast of Africa and the Pacific coast of Southeast Asia are relatively large.
"Take a look."
Fu Wei pointed to another sea area and put down the binoculars in his hand: "The blue ones and the spotted ones are also coming over to join in the fun." ” Qian Jiantong is not familiar with the ocean, and has enough curiosity about marine life that he has never seen.
He also held a telescope in his hand, looked in a different direction, and really saw dolphins of different colors.
"Actually, I can understand it," Qian Jian thought with the same face: "There are yellows, whites, blacks and browns, and the dolphins in the sea naturally have different skins. ” Fu Wei really didn't think about it from this direction, he was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and then nodded his head in agreement.
"What is that" Qian Jiantong suddenly felt a little surprised or confused with worry, and pointed to the position he saw: "A large area of moving black shadows." ” Looking from the sky to the sea, the black shadows are constantly moving in the sea, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, and there is no fixed pattern.
Fu Wei was startled by Qian Jiantong's nervous performance, raised his binoculars and tried to observe, and said with a smile: "Migrating fish." ” Qian Jiantong originally thought that it was some kind of giant beast in the sea, but when he heard that it was a black shadow produced by an exaggerated number of fish gathering in a swarm, he showed an embarrassed smile.
He was about to say something, but he heard the bells ringing from the ships on the periphery, and asked, "Do you want to cast your net to catch fish?"
"Fishing" Fu Wei had already begun to turn around and walk towards the bridge, and said as he walked: "What kind of fish are you catching, it is to avoid the route so as not to have an accident." ” Qian Jiantong was stunned, wondering if the ship would still be attacked by those fish Not to mention, it was really for Qian Jiantong to be blinded, but it was not an attack in the real sense, but more like a suicidal impact.
A large number of fish can not only swim in the sea, but some fish will flutter when they rise closer to the sea level.
The accident that Fu Wei said was not that the fish hit the boat, but that whenever the fish migrated, they would inevitably follow some big guys.
It was almost as soon as Fu Wei arrived at the bridge, and before he could stand still, he saw a huge figure leaping out of the water in the distance.
Qian Jiantong saw that picture and unconsciously opened his mouth wide: "Good, so big" The huge figure was definitely more than twenty meters long, with blue and white spots on its back and a beige patch on its belly.
The spots are not its original skin color, its original skin color is blue-gray, and the spots are actually the residence of some shellfish resident organisms.
Qian Jiantong was stunned and didn't come back to his senses, and a huge figure fluttered up in the distance.
The body of this one is even bigger than just now, and it should be close to thirty meters in length.
"There is a fish in the North Underworld, and its name is Kun.
The Kun is so big that I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Turned into a bird, its name is Peng.
Peng's back, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is; Flying in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky.
It is a bird, and the sea will migrate to the south.

The Southern Hades, the Heavenly Pond also. ” Qian Jiantong turned his head when he heard the voice, and what he saw was Si Hongzhuang with a smile on his face.
"Of course it's not a Kunpeng, it's a whale."
Si Hongzhuang felt that he was a person who had seen the market, and said to Qian Jiantong, who still had a shocked look on his face, with a full sense of superiority: "Isn't it very surprised, isn't it amazing?"
The previous paragraph is, of course, a fragment of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and there is already a book of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but the version is not the same as that of later generations.
To put it bluntly, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is not written by one person, but is constantly supplemented by some people in different eras.
The current Classic of Mountains and Seas is an unfinished work, missing the content after the two Jin Dynasty.
"There are birds, their shape is like Zhai, and Wucaiwen, called Luan Bird, sees the world is peaceful."
Si Hongzhuang smiled evilly and asked, "I must have read it."
Qian Jiantong nodded with a wooden face.
"I'm talking about peacocks."
Si Hongzhuang continued to read: "Two hundred miles to the north, it is said that the mountain of Beiyue is full of thorns and trees.
There are beasts, whose shape is like a cow, and the four horns, human eyes, and ears, whose names are called Zhuhuai, and whose sound is like a singing goose, are cannibals.
The water of Zhuhuai comes out, and the west flows into the hustle and bustle of the water, in which there are many sushi fish.
The body of the fish and the head of the dog, its sound is like that of a baby, and it has eaten wildly. ” "Got it."
Qian Jiantong said with an ugly face: "It's a rhinoceros." ” In the past, the Han people were just nesting in the old land of Zhuxia, and when they read the Classic of Mountains and Seas, they were reading a magical goblin strange book.
Waiting for the footsteps of the Han people to walk outside the land of Zhuxia, they can continue to find some animals from foreign lands that are no different from the strange beasts described in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
One or two can be a coincidence, but it is definitely not a coincidence to keep looking for the "divine beasts" described in the Book of Mountains and Seas.
They should be amazed and shocked that there were ancestors who stepped out of the clan land a long time ago, walked more than a few miles away, and could return to the clan land safely, leaving what they saw and heard in writing The fleet is evading, and it is not stupid to crash head-on, that is the experience of the hard lesson.
It is only in the modern era that the Han people go out of the land and face the sea, which is equivalent to a stage where they do not understand anything and do not have long-term accumulated experience.
Because of the existence of such a bug character as Liu Yan, the exploration of the sea by the Han people is different from that of any other nation.
Every nation in the world, when it comes to unfamiliar territory, finds itself in a situation where it has not been exposed to things, and gradually explores it bit by bit over a long period of time.
The contemporary Han people are not like that, they have been very "reckless" from the very beginning and rushed headlong into the new field of exploring the sea, and almost without the slightest experience, they have set up a "circle" in the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the Bohai Sea, engaged in wanton fishing, and went on a rampage in ignorance.
As early as the second year of Yuan Shuo, there had been an accident in which the ship was overturned by whales, and similar damage occurred more frequently later.
People will face up to the painful lesson, and if they really pay attention to it, they will inevitably study it, and they know that once a huge number of fish are found, whales will generally follow them.
"What is that" Qian Jiantong raised his hand and pointed not far away: "It's the triangular thing that moves very fast on the sea."
Si Hongzhuang looked at it, his face remained unchanged and gave the answer: "Fin." ” "What" Qian Jiantong is not only unfamiliar with the ocean, but also doesn't understand some of the characteristics of the fish, but he knows that there is no danger with Nengji's magnificent expression: "It's so fast" "Sharks are bloodthirsty creatures."
Si Hongzhuang could see that Qian Jiantong had some misunderstanding, but he didn't want to misunderstand Qian Jiantong because of some of his words today: "Whales with incomparably large bodies will not take the initiative to attack, but sharks are different." ” In fact, if Qian Jiantong usually pays more attention, he will definitely not have a blank understanding of marine life, at least whales and sharks.
After all, the Han Empire's marine fishery was not a short period of time, especially the fishing in the eastern seas was very developed, and there was no shortage of whales and sharks, especially in whaling, which had a complete set of operations, and extended to many aspects.
Coincidentally, Qian Jiantong saw a shark poking out of the water, and saw a dolphin biting a dolphin with its fangs, and in an instant the sea area was blood-red, and then more fins appeared in that area.
"See."
Si Hongzhuang explained: "There are not many sharks in the coastal waters of Dahan, but the coast of Indochina Peninsula and Asan is different. ” "This creature called a shark will take the initiative to attack the ship" Qian Jiantong must understand this: "Have you ever hunted sharks?"
"Of course."
Si Hongzhuang did it when he was still a captain of the barbarian captain's department, and said: "It's very easy to kill, as long as there is a smell of blood, they will come one after another regardless of everything." ” In an instant, Qian Jiantong had at least four plans for a planned slaughter that was plagued by sharks.
He heard very clearly just now, there are sharks along the coast of Ah San:
