Twenty fleets, set out in turn, in the position of the future San Francisco, they set out every afternoon a group, almost 10 days to complete the line, their route, a little different, the location and route, a little fine-tuning, they are not sure of Hawaii, and what islands will be encountered in the middle, but they will follow the channel, to the Navy.

Perhaps, for them, it is a very crazy and dangerous journey, almost certainly, there will be people who can't go back, in the relay voyage, there are people who are in danger, not to mention, across thousands of kilometers, across the entire Pacific route, the calm of the Pacific, is also relatively speaking, the ocean is, after all, full of all kinds of uncertainty, danger is also not expected.

The captains who fought on the sea did not know that it was dangerous, but for the yearning for adventure, or let them accept the task, they were the best of the captains and sailors, and at the same time, they were fully prepared for their ships.

Two or three years of maritime exploration, not only trained a group of very good sailors, but also let the Navy, gradually familiar with the ocean, what is needed for ocean navigation, they are clear, although the Navy under the leadership of Zhao Xin, is sailing and exploration under the support, but it is not without the ability of ocean navigation.

All kinds of convenient food, the storage of fresh water cabins, and a few supplies and various tools, it is unceremoniously to say that the sailors of the navy are happier than the sailors of the eighteenth century.

For navigation, the biggest nightmare, sepsis, can be easily treated by vitamins, even if there is no vitamin synthesis, but some solutions are still possible, such as sprouts, or dried vegetables, and sealed cans, they all contain vitamin C.

In the absence of sepsis as a threat, at the same time, these sailors, are fighting on the ocean for more than three years, have been familiar with the ocean, the probability of their own problems is small.

Set the Navy ship, from the emergence to now, almost 5 years, in the exploration of the Northern Sea Route, while exploring, while summarizing a variety of lessons, in the middle, there are technical and disciplinary aspects, there are ships themselves, this ship has been very good, very suitable for sailing on the sea.

It is all the factors that make the North American side open the adventure of exploring new shipping lanes, perhaps, there will be danger, but in the sea, want no danger, that is impossible, but as long as the danger in the controllable range can be, compared to the adventure, found a more economical channel, is their concern, the North American and the Navy between the route, save a third of the time, this is already very attractive.

The fleet finally set out, one by one into the sea, in the beginning, they would act together, to the middle, will make a certain fine-tuning, along a certain latitude line, so that they can be divided a little more, easy to find some islands.

This method is correct, but 80 ships, even with the support of the Navy's powerful telescope, can not search the sea, compared to the huge ocean in the Pacific Ocean, the island is just a drop in the ocean, although Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, is a relatively large kind, but it is easy to miss, unless it is a large number of ships, carpet search.

The Pacific Ocean, at the very least, after entering the west coast of North America, it is relatively empty, and the islands above the Pacific Ocean itself is relatively small, and the west coast side, even more so, they have gone for many days without encountering an island.

Along the balance of the ocean all the way to the west, two or three hundred kilometers a day, it may take many days to reach the fixed navy, which is destined to be a very dangerous and very exciting journey.

On this side of North America, the risk of starting from the middle must have exceeded Zhao Xin's expectations, but even if there is a telegram, Zhao Xin has no way to stop it, let alone not yet, until Zhao Xin knows the news, I am afraid that the fastest fleet is about to approach the sea of the Navy.

In fact, the first exploration, the loss is not large, the time they travel, just separated the time of the formation of tropical storms, this point, in the Navy on the Ryuz, the long-term observation of Hainan, also know that in the summer, a large number of tropical storms will form, perhaps in the southern hemisphere, will be the opposite, but they have been sailing in the region, are in the northern hemisphere, this need not be considered.

There was no storm, the expedition, and the more excellent navigators, 80 ships, and finally only one ship had a problem, was abandoned, the crew also transferred to other ships, it is not lost.

But this time, only in the Pacific Ocean, found three islands, two of them, or the kind of unusable, very small, just a small island island, the only island that can be used, but also a very small island, only less than 2 square kilometers.

In fact, from the west coast of the Americas, directly to China, located in the central Pacific Ocean, the location of San Francisco, is 37 degrees north latitude, this position, roughly in northern China, southern County, Tao County is about 39 degrees north latitude.

In the Pacific Ocean, not without islands, one so large, occupying a third of the world's huge ocean, how can there be no islands, but the distribution of the whole Pacific Ocean is very uneven, there are many in the north, that is the Aleutian Islands, the south is also a lot, in the southwest position above, that is, on the side of New Zealand, where there are several large islands, and then in the southeast direction,

Most of the islands, located near the equator and the north-south regression line, sailing along the 37th parallel, and able to encounter an island, has been very fortunate.

The dimension of Hawaii is at 21 degrees north latitude, 11 degrees away, that is, one or two thousand kilometers, which is very large, it is almost impossible to rely on unexpected amounts.

In the later detection, Hawaii is not so easy to find, Zhao Xin is also roughly known, the location of Hawaii, but for the latitude and longitude line, once the difference, is about 110 kilometers, lost millimeters, fallacy thousands of miles, Zhao Xin can only be on the basis of the original, non-stop south.

Because the first expedition, not only more, more and more routes, but also all returned, which is also exciting for exploration, in the case of determining safety, to avoid the summer tropical storm-prone time point, such an expedition, if a storm, it is a small probability thing.

Really rely on such a vague method, can find North America, of course, as long as the navigation in a fixed channel can be done, but in this way, the final effect will not be very good.

Such an adventure across the ocean, only after stabilizing North America, tried some, but did not find Hawaii, fortunately, found a few other islands, is a fixed foundation, a middle, reduce a lot of cost of the route appeared.

This route, compared to the north, take the Kuril Islands, Aleutian Islands route, perhaps in the northern port, the impact is not very large, but for San Francisco, and even the islands near Los Angeles, it is really a lot of savings, saving at least 4000 kilometers of range, which is placed in the shearing ship, that is more than ten days.

Under the premise that the speed is not greatly improved, saving the voyage is the best way to improve efficiency, relying on the help of several islands, you can divide the voyage into several sections, especially after China to the south, to the Ryuts to go deep into the ocean, and then under the division of the island, the range of each section is reduced to about 3000 kilometers.

3000 kilometers, with the range of thousands of miles, this degree of danger, controllable degree, completely different, this is also a large degree above, improve the safety.

However, the channel is not as important as the island, for example, Hawaii, Midway and other islands, once occupied, is equivalent to an important fulcrum in the surrounding waters, especially Hawaii, which is definitely the entire Pacific Ocean, the most important island, once controlled, the control of the entire ocean, will rise a floor.

Zhao Xin did not know the exact location of Hawaii, but he knew that Hawaii should be in the tropics, but where it was, I don't know, 37 degrees certainly not, then further south.

The first attempt, only the use of 80 ships, after the, although there is danger, but this exploration is not without benefits, to find Hawaii, for the whole balance of control, will be very high.

Gradually to the south, sure enough, in the north-south regression line position, and found some islands, but is not Hawaii, Hawaii is really difficult to find, and even has found the north latitude of about 20 degrees, or even 19 degrees, still did not find, many times, are in the detection range.

Long-term exploration, there will be casualties, in large-scale exploration, and still such a long voyage, encountering storms, force majeure and other things, will inevitably appear, in the second time, there will be casualties, after, has been maintained in the degree of three thousand.

This number is not very large, but as their exploration of the ocean continues to deepen, more and more, death rises.

For a large-scale fixed navy, a similar loss is acceptable under the premise of large-scale population growth, and for the exploration of the interior of the Pacific Ocean, this is of great benefit to the control of the Pacific Ocean.

There is no difficulty in the world, only afraid of people, in the continuous exploration, non-stop to the south of the premise, Hawaii is destined to be found, to know that Hawaii is not an island, but a group of islands, as long as one is found, the rest, that is, naturally.

However, unlike other islands, the island of Hawaii has a population, there are several sources of population, there are several sources, there are 4th century, there are 9-10th century, but in this era, the population is not very large, about 40,000 people.

These people, under the strength of the established navy, could not turn over any big waves at all, and the division disintegrated, and disappeared without a trace.

The discovery of Hawaii was found compared to the first exploration of the central route, pushed back for two years, and under the unremitting exploration.

The discovery of Hawaii marks that China's control of the ocean has reached a limit, you know, Hawaii, but the central Pacific Ocean, the most important island, and the next island, is the icing on the cake, including Midway Island, including some islands in the south.

Now, whether it is Zhao Xin, or the Navy, has not yet realized this, after winning the Kuril Islands, and a series of land near the balance of North America, and the Aleutian Peninsula, it is equivalent to saying that the three sides have been included in it, as long as the Tengen position of Hawaii is taken, everything will not be a problem.

Hawaii's find, represents the northern Pacific, the eastern Pacific, and the central Pacific, basically under the absolute control of the Navy, to the Americas route, but also found more than one, the north does not say, that is the earliest route, the central, Midway as the core of the route, they are located at about 28 degrees north latitude, just like the southern ports of the Americas, in the similar latitude and longitude above, this straight line past.

The other is Hawaii, the ship can be resupply, repair, and get huge support in Hawaii, although a little detour, but with Central America to communicate, there is a huge support for the development of Central America.

After the discovery of Hawaii, the exploration of the entire channel has entered the end, three or four waterways is enough, can support the Navy and the Americas, then, the Pacific Ocean exploration, to a deeper level.

More than two years of exploration, and the discovery of the Americas after digestion, so that the Navy can be a large-scale exploration fleet, to be transferred back, now the war in Southeast Asia, has come to an end, the central and southern peninsula, Indonesia, basically in the control of the scope.

If it is someone else, it may stop here, because the control of the territory is already large enough, whether it is land, arable land, or resources, it is enough, and there is no way to develop it.

But Zhao Xin did not stop, in the future, for the study of world navigation, the Americas should be left to the Europeans by God, because the difficulty from the Atlantic to the Americas is much smaller than the difficulty of the Pacific to the Americas, and as long as they enter the era of navigation, they can almost certainly discover the Americas.

If the Americas are left to Europe, then Australia, is God left to Asia, in the whole of Indonesia's islands in the southeast, where from Australia, only one step away, as long as across a few hundred kilometers of the ocean, in the latitude and longitude above, only a few degrees of distance, but he can find a huge continent, although the area is not as large as China, but the resources contained therein are very eager for China.

Historically, with China made a joke, leading the world for thousands of years of loyal dogs, in modern times, the Americas is found in Europe, Australia is the same, now, Zhao Xin since he crossed to this era, but also made out the shearing and galleons, even the Americas have been found, Southeast Asia also occupied, found Australia, it is logical thing.
