Church's Diary Five

I am very happy that all the people who suffered from seasickness have recovered, including Mrs. Larry and Miss Alice. I don't know if this is the blessing of Poseidon or Anderson's fish soup worked, anyway, I am very grateful to Anderson, sincerely.

Alice started running around on the deck again, feeling the magnificence and beauty of the ocean. Her smile is so innocent, as bright as the sun in May, it seems that she has completely forgotten the pain the sea caused her a few days ago. She often went to see Anderson fishing, and the two of them were chatting and laughing in the sea breeze. I said Anderson, are you lucky enough? Although I don't think you two are suitable, I still wish you good luck.

Mrs. Larry looked much heavier. I wonder if the recovery was not as fast and thorough as the young man, or because of the cold flow of snow that caused the same concerns as Mr. Robbins. I see that the two of them are always whispering together these two days, and I don't know what they are discussing.

No matter how worried he was, he would arrive at his destination tomorrow. Although it was a full week later than the scheduled plan, Poseidon blessed him and everything went smoothly. If it were me, I would definitely relax today, anyway, the result will be announced tomorrow, whether it is good or bad, everything is in the hands of God, not us. What we can do is face all this with optimism.

As for when to return to the voyage, it depends on the progress of these scientists. Who knows what great secrets they will discover? If there are any major discoveries, it would be an honor for me to witness with them. Anyway, the explorer's endurance is 18,000 nautical miles, which can meet the requirements of unlimited navigation area, and they can toss for as long as they want. Although more than 70 people eat 50 kilograms of vegetables and 30 kilograms of fish every day, the food we have in Oakland is enough to eat for a month. It really doesn’t work and you can go fishing and eat like Anderson.

Oh my god! What am I thinking? Before I reach my destination, I'm thinking about returning home. But it's really old! I didn’t think so much when I was young!

We arrived at the designated location, but did not find the ghost island.

Anderson and I checked again and again, checking the GPS system and the chart again. Mr. Robbins also contacted the US Naval Research Laboratory, requesting their system to provide us with more accurate positioning and to retrieve satellite images from a period of time before. However, all our efforts were in vain.

I did not drive in the wrong direction, nor did the GPS give us a wrong direction. Everything showed that the Discovery had reached the predetermined target location. My crew and I didn't feel much, because it was not us who discovered the ghost island here and noted the location, but another ship. But those scientists-Robbins believed it to be true, because there were also many scientists on that ship, and a few of them were on our ship. They were here for the second time.

Based on their seriousness towards science and their credibility and sense of mission beyond life, I think most of what they say is true. It will never be a joke of a boring person, and with their knowledge of course it is not easy to be Nature deceives.

According to the location recorded by the ship that discovered the island before, I drove the Discovery to 36°55′ south latitude and 136°39′ west longitude. This number is almost the same as the location of Maria Theresa Reef recorded in the past 100 years. But when we arrived, there was nothing in my sight except the endless sea, and because the depth of the water exceeded the length of the anchor chain, we couldn't drop anchor at all. Of course, the Discovery has an advanced balanced positioning system, even if there is wind and waves, the ship can automatically stop in place and remain motionless.

Robbins asked us to search according to this coordinate position within the range of plus and minus 1° in latitude and longitude.

My goodness, the difference between the plus and minus latitude and longitude is 1°, which is nearly 50,000 square kilometers of sea surface, which can hold the entire land area of ​​the Netherlands. You must know that just three centuries ago, the iron ships of this country conquered many places all over the world. It was the Dutchman who first discovered these lands in the southern hemisphere oceans and named the largest piece of land "New "Netherlands" was later renamed Australia; while another smaller piece of land was never renamed, named after a Dutch district called "Zeland", called New Zealand.

Now, I am going to drive this ship to search for two ghostly invisible islands and reefs that may be about the size of our ship in the sea area equivalent to the land area of ​​the Netherlands.

We drove around at sea and found nothing. In fact, everyone knows very well that it is too easy to find two islands within tens of thousands of square kilometers with the equipment on our ship and GPS satellites, provided that they really exist. Since none of the satellites can be found, we will certainly not be able to find them if we look for them like this.

Everyone just doesn't give up, so we continue to circle around, hoping that the ghost island will be worthy of its name. If it is a "ghost", maybe the satellite is really invisible.

We have been cruising in this area for two full days, and everyone has become impatient. If it weren't for Mr. Robbins' rigor and good temper, and the innocent girl like Alice who brought joy to the boat, everyone would go crazy.

Only Anderson is still not surprised, as long as the boat stops, or when he does not need to work, he will go fishing on the deck at the stern.

He said there was a ghost island, it was just a huge ancient fish emerging from the bottom of the sea to take a breath!

I think Anderson's head broke when he caught fishing. How can there be such a big fish? Besides, how could those scientists not even recognize a fish?

All the equipment on the ship was turned on, sonar, magnetism, laser, infrared, and underwater robots were also put down, but there was nothing. Data shows that the water depth here is at least more than 3,000 meters, and the deepest point is 5,000 meters. There are only a few submarine peaks. Even if the submarine volcano erupts, it is impossible to form an island out of the sea.

After dinner, the scientific expedition team held a small meeting and also invited me and First Mate Anderson to participate. Mr. Robbins gave a brief speech to explain the situation ~lightnovelpub.net~ and then asked everyone for their opinions. Everyone looked at the people who came for the second time. They vowed to say that the island exists before, but now they have a bitter face and said nothing.

Anderson suddenly said loudly, I said it was a fish long ago, but you don't believe it! Do you know that the area of ​​the ocean on the earth is much larger than that of the land, and the sea is so deep, there must be many strange creatures on the bottom of the sea. There is a kind of fish that is very big, because it is too big, its movements are very slow, its metabolism is also very slow, and its back is covered with various corals, seaweeds and so on. It only took a few hundred years to come out to the sea to breathe in the fresh air. It just floated there, but it was regarded as an island by you, haha, it's ridiculous!

The more presumptuous Anderson smiled, the more ugly other people's faces became. What else Robbins wanted to say, the unsmiling Mrs. Larry spoke, don't waste time here, let's go to the next place.

The next place Mrs. Larry talked about was the underwater ruins with pyramids. In the end everyone agreed with Mrs. Larry's opinion, although they were not reconciled. But what Robbins said is that the next place is where they really want to go, and there will never disappear like a ghost island, because that place has gone through a preliminary inspection, with photos and physical evidence as evidence.

I am also looking forward to it, full of curiosity about the inverted pyramid underwater.
