The vastness of the sea, boundless, the deeper into the depths of the sea, the more the wind and waves are, because they have entered the depths of the North Pacific Ocean, here because of the relationship between the ocean currents, the ocean currents of the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, the wind and waves here are some larger than the center of the Pacific Ocean, but they are also within the range of tolerance.

In the middle of the ocean, a fleet of three shearing ships is riding the wind and waves.Although the Pacific Ocean is very large, but in the north, the whole northern part of the Pacific Ocean, the whole distance is not very long, this is a narrow area, from Hokkaido, to the Aleutian Islands, at most that is three or four thousand kilometers of range, more than 2000 nautical miles, has been close to the American continent,

In the long road, it takes time to pass the last time, starting from the establishment of the navy, the exploration began, the early Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula, everything went very smoothly, but after entering the Pacific, all kinds of things appeared, and the danger was very much.

In terms of navigation, there are some foundations, but this foundation is inherited in the Northern Song, although there is a lot of maritime experience, but this experience at sea is in the offshore, or near the land, after the real deep into the ocean, the problems in all aspects have appeared, and even the casualties have begun to increase.

All have done this, have gone deep into the depths of the sea, and the distance from America should be getting closer and closer, but it is so little bit that it has stagnateed, for a long time, no new discoveries.

Deep into the sea, for these sailors in the Navy, the intensity of the exercise is very large, the Navy is not casually let the sailors to die, but in the ocean, the inevitable danger is inevitable, can not be avoided.

A ship is a ship with a very fast speed, but it is still relatively stable in the face of high sea conditions.

Whether it is a flying shearing ship, or logistics, are very well organized, and the most voyage, but about 200 kilometers, relying on the island, steady and steady, after all the surrounding things are clear, become a more mature channel, and then continue.

As long as the passageway is known, some of the less powerful sailors, or, the less powerful ships, can also sail on this course, and not only the fleet of ship-cut ships.

Even so, the ocean is inexplicable, the vagaries of the ocean, full of dangers, these dangers, even for the ships of the 21st century, there is a certain danger, not to mention the ship of this era, even if it joins the newer technology, joins a lot of technology, but it is still sailing, once the ship can not resist, more than the endurance of the sailboat, will surely capsize.

After the gradual fit of the ocean, in the beginning, has been stagnant, and then the results of rapid progress, in just a year, the advance for a long time, but such high-speed propulsion, after all, there is a limit, in the past three months, the speed of forwarding more and more slowly.

The closer it is to that side, because of the geographical relationship, there is no island that can accommodate the most people, the forward base, the distance from the other side, more than a thousand nautical miles, in this case, the longer the time required for each investigation, the more time is needed, and on this side, the island also began to sparse, which is a key problem.

In order to determine the Navy's search method, the best is to be around 150 kilometers, or 200 kilometers of islands, in a large number of carbographic search, you can find the island, and then use the island as a springboard, continue forward.

Zhao Xin knows that this is a normal phenomenon, this is a final stage of attack, the time of the two continents, is not long, because on the drawing of the chart, there have been too many forward, perhaps, there is an opportunity, once this opportunity comes, it will inevitably find the Americas.

Although Zhao Xin knew before that the search for this path in the Americas was not so smooth, there were many difficulties, but it was so huge a loss, it took so long, and it was not thought of.

The Kuril Islands and the Kamchatka Peninsula took only half a year, but later, so many more than 2,000 kilometers of the route, it has been spent for one and a half years, and at the same time, it has also paid a huge loss of life and injury.

In a year and a half, the cumulative sunken ship cutters 350, the loss of more than 7,000 people, this is almost the original, the number of exploration fleet, that is, in the two years, the ship has been expanded, and now has reached 2000 ships, and the personnel of exploration, through the training of the front and rear, reached tens of thousands of people, which supports such a search.

With the most stable method, the use of the island as a springboard method, this is already a very safe method, but there are still so many casualties, it must be said that the ocean is unpredictable.

However, a lot of time is used, but also the most secure, there is a benefit, that is, on the whole channel, every 200 kilometers, there is a supply port, even if it is only temporary, clean up some suitable as a port, for the future of the northern route, will be very helpful.

In the future, once we find the Americas, with the strong detection ability of the Navy, we will turn this channel into a mature channel, when the Spanish sailing ship with a larger capacity can successfully enter the United States here to explore and find what Zhao Xin needs.

In the middle, it is not necessary to stop these places, ocean navigation, often day and night, but the existence of this port, but it has become a dependence, really encountered bad weather, can enter the port at any time to take refuge, at the same time, located at the port above the personnel, will investigate the characteristics of the nearby hydrology, as well as the characteristics of the weather, find the law, for the future mature route to prepare.

At the same time, distributed in the points of each island, can also play a role in advance warning, for example, the ship is still 200 kilometers away, but here is already cloudy, heavy rain, it must not be able to move forward, must wait until the storm or heavy rain past, in order to continue.

Of course, this is all aftertuitous, now just to prepare, and there is no egg, and such a method is almost impossible to achieve until the radio has not been studied, because in the midst of the storm, no ship can leave the news.

Speaking of communication, the development of communication, in fact, changed the pattern of the world, the original can only rely on traffic, rely on the railway to transmit information, but once there is a faster way, can make the place separated thousands of miles, combined into a whole.

Radio is something that Zhao Xin attaches great importance to, and has invested great energy in the field of radio, but the effect is not very good, because there are too many disciplines across, radio is not Zhao Xin's expertise, hastily entered this field, not even the principle is not known, let alone studied.

Initially, Zhao Xin because he was exposed to the radio to do more, first entered the radio, but soon, was hit by the body of the body, because there is no clue, spent a lot of money, plus a lot of personnel, and finally nothing.

This is completely impossible to succeed, so waste, but a setback, Zhao Xin emergency adjustment, the study of radio, into wired electricity., ,

This also follows the basis of the discovery of the telegraph, he still does not know the principle of the telegraph, but he can simply describe, for example, the frequency of the current, different frequencies, represents different information, and then send the information, with the receiving end to accept it, you can not consider the problem of wireless transmission.

This is a lot of simple, before the study of radio, in fact, is produced some effects, but those effects for people who have no way to understand the radio, do not call it the result, but on the wire, very quickly, found the direction, transmission direct use of wires, current will have different voltage and frequency, with some commonly used current, represents some code, and then compiled into different methods, you can carry the code, even if initially, just carry a simple sentence, which is a success.

In the 12 years of the Qing calendar, cable telegraph has appeared in the laboratory of the designated Navy, after the simple development, and the customized code book, the rapid popularization.

The Navy's demand for communication is very large, although the steam train is also very fast, 120 kilometers of speed, 1200 kilometers, but only 10 hours, but for some industries with strong timeliness, it is not possible at all.

However, it takes time to lay the telegraph line, and it takes a long time to complete the laying on the huge land controlled by the Navy, and even more so at sea, the submarine cable takes a long time to spread around the world from the appearance to the completion of the laying.

Radio is a solution, but cable telegraph, is also a more reliable solution, to the time, look at that a little faster, in the mind.

But no matter which one, in the future, once the route of the Americas is through, such a contact method must be carried out, whether it is wired or wireless, with a convenient and fast, and time-sensitive method, for ocean navigation, for the control of distant America, is very good.

Even in a sense, in itself, it can only open up colonies in North America, and once the means of communication are promoted, with a weapon such as a telegraph or radio, it can be remotely controlled, which is equivalent to adding to the turf of the fixed navy.

These are the future ideas, the future, in the end how to go, the need for the development of scientific research, the current sea, or basically rely on the roar and flag language, the means of communication is relatively backward.

This fleet is responsible for exploring the surrounding, according to the route and time, has been close to the end, they have gone to the island 160 kilometers away, but, for three or four consecutive days to explore, almost this route, around it has been explored, very disappointed, or nothing found.

Similar things have been happening for more than a month, and disappointment has been too many times, not once when a captain has proposed, ventured a little, and explored more than 200 kilometers.

This is a precedent, before have encountered a bottleneck, that is a whole month and a half, there is no harvest, finally, the concentration of 40 ships, venture deep, finally in 250 kilometers away, found an island, so that the island hopping plan can continue.

At that time, although there were some twists and turns, there were some dangers, but in the end, it was successful, and now, once again, we encountered such a situation, it seems that this is the most correct solution.

The sea exploration, the danger is certainly there, but a little risk is not taken, how to succeed, everyone who has been in the exploration of the fleet, know that this is the result of the inevitable experience.

Looking at the chart, and the location recorded by the six-digit, although the captain wanted to continue to take another step, deep into the ocean, to obtain fruitful results, but in the exploration of the fleet, once the violation of the order, the punishment, is also huge, or not take this risk.

Just as the captain was preparing to walk another ten or ten kilometers, when he returned to sail, stood on the lookout hand above the mast, suddenly shouting, at three o'clock, a storm formed.

The captain immediately sounded the alarm, and above the sea, the storm was the most dangerous, and it was also the most expensive to let the Navy explore the fleet, with the most losses, almost half of the ship, which was sunk by the storm, and there was a sudden situation, the reef, its own danger, plus other improper operations.

With the sound of red alarms, a large number of sailors, coming out of the cabin, stood above their respective positions, while the captain, on the deck, looked in the direction of three o'clock with his telescope.

The weather in the northern Pacific Ocean was also rapidly changing, just now, or the wind and the sun, a strong wind blew, and the storm formed.

Above the sea, no wind waves, high latitudes, although there is no typhoon like a tropical storm, but more than 7 winds, but there are many, for the ship cutting ship, generally more than 5 wind, will have a great impact, more than 7 levels, there will be a danger of overturning.

On the sea, they have been particularly experienced, especially these pilot fleets, almost on the sea, inch by inch of exploration, some familiar with the climate above the North Pacific, and able to analyze the center of the storm from the weather conditions, and the specifications of the storm.

The captain took a simple look, the storm is not small, the envelope is very large, is a strong storm, at least at the sixth or more, but the only good thing is that they are on the periphery, they found the storm in advance, now, there is a chance to turn, can not say, completely escape the scope of the storm, but the luck is not too bad, should pass through the edge of the storm.

A simple look, all the crew were ready, and with the captain's orders, the whole ship began to act in response to this sudden storm.
