Chapter 39 The Clues Left by Huangshan
Seeing A Liang's expression, I immediately guessed that something must have happened, "What did you encounter? What happened to others?"
Aliang opened his mouth but didn't say anything. He raised his finger and pointed to the cabin.
I suddenly turned my head and looked in the direction he pointed. After seeing this, I immediately felt that I had become petrified. On the second-level cockpit platform on the first-level cabin, Boss Ding, Second Uncle Wen Mo, Master An, Qi Feng, Yuanxiao, Zhou Cheng, and a few friends. At this time, these people were looking at me in disbelief. Second Uncle opened his mouth and asked, "Big nephew! Are you hysterical? What are you trying to do below!" I held my head and squatted down with my head in a desperate situation, thinking to myself, if I jumped into the sea now, I don't know if I can still save my face.
At the critical moment, my brother was still very powerful. Yuanxiao shouted: "Ah, Zhuoran, you are here just right, come and have a look."
I looked at Yuanxiao gratefully, but saw his face that was trying hard to hold back his smile, and the corners of his mouth were still trembling. I cursed in my heart.
In order to hide my embarrassment, I could only pretend to be calm and walked up there, and glared at Lanxiao.
After I went up, I saw that Master An, Uncle Ding and Boss Ding were seriously studying a map. The location marked on it was the destination they inferred.
I stood beside Lantern Festival and asked softly, "Hey, what happened?"
Lantern Festival quietly said in my ear: "We have now arrived at the location marked on the map, but we have not found any islands."
I nodded. It seemed that this place was not that easy to find, otherwise Qin Shihuang would not have had to go through such a big trouble back then.
At this time, although the fog had not completely dissipated on the sea surface, the visibility had improved a lot. We looked around and could not see any shadow of the island. According to the Jinbo record in the tomb of the escaped lieutenant, the island should be very large, but around us, let alone a large island, there was not even a reef.
Yuanxiao said to Boss Ding, "I said Boss Ding, is your map not accurate? Is there any deviation in the longitude and latitude?"
"Impossible!" Boss Ding seemed very unfair. "Last night, I found that there was nothing here. I was afraid that I would go to the wrong position, so I proofread it several times." As he said, Boss Ding took out the latitude and longitude ruler, measured it carefully on the map, and then said, "You see," we surrounded us. While measuring, Boss Ding recorded the results, and pointed it to us, "Everyone, look, the points you marked on the map are about 38 degrees and 23 minutes north latitude and 121 degrees and 50 minutes east longitude. You can look at the latitude and longitude display of GPS in your hands to see if it is the same?"
I looked at the gps in my second uncle's hand next to me, and the latitude and longitude displayed is indeed consistent with the latitude and longitude of the marked points on the map.
The few of us looked at each other, only the second uncle and An stared at the map and frowned.
Qi Feng said: "Mr. An, the captain's Jinbo said that this island can only be seen in heavy fog. Do you think the fog is not big enough now?"
Master An shook his head, "The credibility of the ancients cannot be generalized. Maybe this island has a special connection with foggy days, but I don't think this is the main reason why we haven't found it now."
Yuanxiao smiled and said, "Mr. An, this is right. We can't watch here now. There is nothing around. When the fog is thick, bang! An island appears! This matter is a bit myth!"
Qi Feng thought about it and had to shut his mouth in disappointment.
The second uncle shook the gps in his hand, "Can it be this thing in my hand? It's not accurate!"
Boss Ding waved his hand, "No, let's talk about it, I have gps here, so we can check it out." As he said that, Boss Ding walked into the cockpit and said loudly: "The latitude and longitude I displayed are: North latitude 3823, East latitude 12150, how about it, is it consistent with the data in your old hand?"
The second uncle nodded, looked at the sky, and said to himself: "It's a pity that there are no stars now, otherwise you can confirm it based on the astrological signs."
Listening to Boss Ding's words, a thought suddenly came to my mind. How could I feel familiar with the numbers that Boss Ding said just now? I seem to have seen them somewhere?
I began to recall desperately. All the things I experienced during this period were sifting in my mind one by one, and suddenly a name appeared in my mind - Huangshan!
I hurriedly took the cell phone in my pocket and looked through the photos in the album. Finally, a somewhat dim picture appeared on the screen. The picture was taken of a dusty table, and a string of numbers was written in a pen on the table: 1225112306.
I looked at this string of numbers. This was a photo I took in a laboratory in Huangshan. I just thought it was strange at the time, but I didn't know what it meant.
Just now, when they were discussing latitude and longitude, I suddenly discovered the meaning of this string of numbers. Just add a "-" symbol in the middle of this string of numbers, and the meaning represented by this string of numbers will immediately become obvious, because the string of numbers will become: 12251-12306. This is clearly a range of latitude and longitude, and more precisely, it should be a range of longitude and longitude values.
I boldly imagined that Huangshan may have calculated a more accurate position through some clues and means, and even marked the longitude value. If we are now in the eastern longitude position and are not within the range of this string of numbers, so the position we calculate now is somewhat deviated. In theory, the result calculated by Er Uncle and An Ye should not be wrong, but I think the location of this island is a bit special and not calculated according to common sense, so Huangshan will deliberately record the longitude.
Thinking of this, I decided to express my thoughts to restore the image I had just lost when I was hysterical.
I cleared my throat and said, "Boss Ding, if the latitude remains unchanged and the longitude moves eastward for a certain degree, how long will it take?"
Boss Ding thought about it and calculated it casually, "Boss Zhuo, what do you mean is that the longitude is changed to about 122 degrees and 50 minutes?" I nodded.
"In this case, we need to travel about 87 kilometers eastward. At our current speed, it will probably take three to four hours." After saying that, Boss Ding looked at me and asked, "What? What do you mean, let's go and have a look?"
I looked at the others, "I suddenly thought of a clue related to this matter. I think I can try it. And since there is no here, I think we should also go somewhere else. What do you think?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Qi Feng suddenly stood up, "Hey, let me ask, Brother Zhuo, although there are rules in the Zhuo family, what you don't want to say, I shouldn't ask about the source of your clue, but I want to know, is your source reliable?"
In my heart, I really hate this person named Qi Feng. This person is like the master, and the person below is like. Qi Feng is as annoying as Master An!
But after all, everyone was on a boat, and they were in a boat. They looked down and looked up, and they didn't look good. So they said patiently: "Of course I think it's reliable, otherwise I won't say it either. And I don't want to say the source of this clue, but the process is quite complicated and I can't explain it clearly in one sentence or two sentences. Besides, there are other people involved in this, so it's not convenient for me to say it." Because this clue comes from Huangshan, if I explain the origin of Huangshan to them, it will inevitably involve Uncle Kong and Yuanxiao's father, so I finally decided not to say it.
I continued, "Besides, if the clues are inaccurate, it will be delayed for at most three or four hours. Should we just wait here and wait for the island to float to find us?"
As soon as I finished speaking, Yuanxiao burst into laughter, making Qi Feng feel uncomfortable. Yuanxiao smiled and said, "I agree with Zhuoran's idea. If it is successful, it is better to be waiting here even if it fails." After that, Yuanxiao glanced at the others. Of course, Uncle Er agreed. Wen Mo had no concern and did not express his opinion. Master An looked at me with a smile and nodded.
"That's fine!" Yuanxiao ordered: "Boss Ding! Get the boat!"
"Okay! Guys are heading straight east, full speed!"
The final plan is determined, and all we have to do next is wait.
After everyone left, Yuanxiao found me, "Hey, Zhuoran, where did you get the clue? You shouldn't hide it from your buddy, right?"
"I didn't want to hide it from you," I told him, it was just that Uncle Tang involved, so I didn't say it.
Yuanxiao was a little surprised when she heard this, "My dad? Did he tell you this clue?"
"Of course not!" I said to him quietly: "You have heard of the name Huangshan, have you always heard of it?"
"You mean..." Yuanxiao was stunned and then blurted out loudly, "Have you found Huangshan?"
I quickly signaled him to lower his voice, then nodded, "Actually, I can't say that I found it. To be precise, Wen Mo found it. I just found some clues left by Huangshan."
Yuanxiao nodded, "So that's the case! It's really thanks to meeting you this time!" I nodded with a wry smile.
I was standing on the deck, actually feeling a little nervous, worried that I wouldn't find anything by then. But after looking at the dimmer surroundings, I thought that if I found nothing at that time, I would push it onto the fog. After all, the island and the fog were also related, which Mr. An himself said.
However, God didn't seem to want me to make excuses, so when it was almost noon, through the windows in the cabin, I found that the fog was getting thicker again. My mood became a little uneasy, and I was a little absent-minded when I had lunch.
After lunch, I calculated the time and it should be almost coming. I asked my second uncle about the latitude and longitude of the current, and my second uncle told me that it was already 122 degrees and 49 minutes east longitude.
I silently said to myself: "Huangshan, Huangshan, don't harm me. The data on the table will not be what you wrote casually. If it were you..."
Before I could finish my mind, I suddenly heard someone on the deck shouting: "Look! Look! What is that!"
I was shocked and hurriedly ran out of the cabin and came to the deck to see that in the mist in the distance, a huge black shadow lying across the sea. At this moment, I was both excited and nervous, and I couldn't help but say, "Md, I finally found it!"
