When Black Rabbit and others humbly accepted Anne's proposal to choose a large lucky ship as a ship and hung high the badge of the bear head unnamed community as the flag of the community and set sail. When the ship gradually entered the endless deep sea, they soon encountered a new problem, that is - route!
Yes, it's about the route!
Because, although the Box Center did give them a port name as its final destination during its mission, the route was not given, nor did they require them to sail from that direction. It just said that it was necessary to cross the Pacific Ocean and reach a destination on the eastern coast of the Americas, and nothing else was left.
Therefore, after leaving the unknown desert island at the beginning and entering the East China Sea of ​​the Ming Empire, I had to sail along that route, which became a major problem that Black Rabbit and Shiliu Ye and others urgently needed to solve.
"Everyone!"
"I don't know anything about the Earth and the Great Age of Discovery, so..."
"I'll ask everyone for the next thing!"
As it turned out, Black Rabbit was still quite self-aware. Before everyone could start formal discussion, she hurriedly raised her hand to speak tactfully and said she would withdraw, and she would definitely not get involved in things that she was not good at.
"that……"
"There are birds on the 16th night. Which of you has the better geography?"
Living in an era of highly developed technology, but since she was a child, there were diseases that could not be treated by technology at that time, which led to being unable to walk. In the end, after getting the "life directory" given to her by her father, Kasugabe Yoshi, who gradually began to live normally, obviously did not have much knowledge of geography, especially navigation, so she had to look at the 16-night and the long-lasting bird next to her.
"Explain it first!"
"If you expect me to draw a chart of the Pacific Ocean in detail, would you rather die of that heart as soon as possible?"
"At most I can only draw roughly the approximate location of the Hawaiian Islands?"
In fact, Kasugabe Yoshi can also roughly draw maps of Asia and America, especially the rough outlines of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu Island?
However, things like maps cannot be messed up. If you make a mistake, it is definitely not an exaggeration!
Especially when sailing, the requirements are more strict and precise. If she really dares to do anything randomly, in the end, they won the Gift Competition, but they are afraid they don’t even know how they die!
"Probably, who can't draw the outline, but what's the use?"
"but……"
"Sixteen Nights, where are you?"
"Can you draw a chart of the Pacific Ocean?"
Although Jiuyuan Feiniao has always had good grades and is still the eldest lady of Jiuyuan's family. She has received a good education, it is indeed a bit difficult for her to draw accurate maps out of thin air. Therefore, she seemed to have no good idea. After pondering for a while, she could only look at Shiliuye with inquiring eyes.
“…”
Rebirth Shiliu Ye did not answer, but just stared at the two of them with that kind of playful look.
Before coming to the world of Boxing, his interest was to play and read. Although his personality was always arrogant and his behavior was a bit rough, and he also had superhuman athletic ability, he was confident in the community. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was profound. His logical reasoning ability was even very good. He was definitely a wise man in the community!
but……
If Yuuo and Kasugabe Yoshibe and Yoko Kasugabe think that he can accurately depict the charts of the Earth's world with their memories, then he would be a bit overestimated.
After all, he never thought that one day he would use that kind of geography knowledge, nor did he have to train or remember it specifically. Now he is asked to drive the ducks on the shelves. Wouldn’t that make things difficult for him?
"whispering sound!"
"Isn't it just a map?"
"Let me find a piece of paper, remember to have a bigger piece, I'll draw it for you on the spot!"
However, after staring at Asuka and Kasugabe for a while, Shiruoya hesitated for a while and agreed stubbornly.
"But I declare!"
"It would be good if the accuracy rate can reach 60 or 70 percent, you can't ask for too much."
Then, he paused, and continued to add, and after the sailors found charcoal pens and paper, they spread it on the deck, and began to draw on the large rice paper seriously based on the general situation he remembered in his mind.
A few minutes later...
“??”
(.)
"What are you doing?"
(°〼°〃)
At this time, Anne finally came out of her captain's room and saw the group of people gathered there at a glance, so she also came over curiously and asked strangely.
"Isn't it because of the route?"
"I can't remember Kasugabe and I, both of us, can't remember the charts in the Pacific, so we had to ask Shiroya to help us draw them!"
"Anne!"
"You come here to see, what do you think?"
"Look!"
"He painted so well and looked very accurate!"
While pulling Anne over and explaining, Jiuyuan Feiniao still pointed to the paper on the deck, pointing to the half-finished sea chart that had been drawn back to the Sixteen Nights, barely able to see the outlines of East Asia and the Pacific Ocean, explaining.
"ah?"
=('ヮ'=)
"Are you going to sail on the map he drew?"
=(*)
Although the reverse Sixteen Nights was painted quite well, Anne didn't have to think about it. If she had to rely on the other party's map, she would definitely have sailed to the home of the American Indians who lived for generations, but if she could use the shortest route or could she find a certain island to replenish supplies on the way, there would definitely be no hope.
In fact, in Anne's opinion, the decent Pacific map can guarantee that it will not get lost is a blessing, and using it for navigation, I'm afraid that only those kind of laymen will do it like that!
"Of course yes!"
"The center of the box courtyard only gave the ships and sailors, but did not give us the necessary navigation tools, so we were allowed to sail to America. What else can we do except this?"
"that is!"
"Or, Anne, come and try it?"
Anyway, there is no way for Aoki and Kasugabe Yoshino, so if Annie can, they don't mind letting Annie give it a try and compare it with the results to see what to accomplish.
"No need to try!"
(~)
"Here! For you!"
(＿＿*)
The next second, something that shocked Jiuyuan Asuka and Kasugabe Yoshinori happened:
Anne actually waved her hand and took out an oversized precision globe, a modern basic chart, and navigational objects such as compass, astronomy and sextant from the pocket of her skirt.
“!!”
"This is……"
"Wow!"
"In addition to the globe, there are charts and sextant?"
"Very good!"
"Annie, you are so awesome!!"
Seeing the important objects that Annie threw out, Aoto and Kasugabe were stunned for a while, then quickly pounced on them and cheered loudly.
Obviously, they knew better than anyone else the importance of the inconspicuous objects that Anne brought out in the past.
"Anne?"
"How could you have these things?"
After carefully holding the very well-made optical sextant, he looked at it again and again. After finding that he had been in the same way as he had been studying in a residential-style aristocratic girls' school, Jiuyuan Feiniao continued to ask excitedly.
"I have sailed several times before, and there are so many such things!"
(ˉ▽￣￞］)Tsk~~
"Or what if you think this captain is for nothing?"
s('ヘ;)ゞ
Anne didn't think that was anything great.
Because, she had been floating on the oceans of various eras on Earth for many months, now she doesn't need to use those things at all. She just needs to look at the sun or the stars at night to roughly know the approximate location of her ship. She has long been so skilled that she can't be more proficient in basic positioning.
So, in addition to being the captain, Queen Anne also had no problem playing a guest appearance as a surveyor!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Very good!"
"Black Rabbit!"
"We're sure to win now!"
The birds in the long run didn't care about that much. She just looked at the sextant in her hand, then the globe and the chart, and finally couldn't help but start to smile foolishly.
“…”
At this time, I had just drawn halfway through it, and before I could even accept the admiration and admiration of the women, I was extremely embarrassed in the moment.
So!
He first looked at the unfinished sea map he drew, then looked at the ready-made globe that Anne took out and the dedicated map that accurately mapped the ocean waters and coastal areas. After thinking about it, he quietly clumped his unfinished products and threw them directly into the sea behind him while everyone was not paying attention.
"But……"
“Is this considered cheating?”
"Black Rabbit?"
However, at this time, Kasugabe Yoshi remembered something serious and looked at the Black Rabbit with some anxiety, as if he wanted the Black Rabbit to confirm.
"Well..."
"I'll take a look!"
Of course, Black Rabbit was not 100% sure about that sensitive issue, so she quickly connected her ears to the center of the box and began to check the specific rules.
“!!”
"It's absolutely fine!"
"The Box Center said that surveying and mapping tools and maps will not affect the fairness of the competition. Anyone can use it as long as they can take it out!"
"No foul at all!"
Soon, the Black Rabbit, who received the affirmative feedback from the center of the box, told excitedly.
"Very good!"
"I'll win this time!"
"Um!"
"I can finally feel at ease!"
Hearing that even the center of the box garden recognized it, Aoyaki Aoi was of course cheering and thrilling with Kasugabe Yoshi.
"alright!"
"Since Anne has the tools, hurry up and prepare to determine the route!"
At this time, Shiroya, who had already lost the charcoal pen and homemade chart, walked over and urged seriously, and at the same time, he grabbed the chart from Kasugabe Yoshi and spread it on the deck.
"Um……"
"The basic situation is almost the same, then!"
After looking at it, I found that the chart was similar to what I remembered. Shiliu Ye then stretched out his black finger and pointed at the currents on the chart and started talking:
"Everyone!"
"We continued to drive eastward, and then sailed northward with the North Equator Kuroshima, along the seas of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu Islands, all the way to here, then crossed the Pacific Ocean with the warm current of the North Pacific, then followed the California cold current to the south, to the vicinity of Panama and from here to the Atlantic Ocean to reach that port."
"Do you have no objection to this?"
In this way, he gestured with his fingers about the reverse retrace on the chart and said confidently, and stopped after pointing out the best route, wanting to see what else everyone needs to add.
"Um……"
“It should be no problem.”
After looking at it, Kasugabe Yoko, who had no idea, didn't think much and simply nodded in agreement with the view of the reverse Sixteen Night.
She knew that in the era of wooden sailing, wooden sailing mainly relied on manpower, wind and ocean currents as power, and used starry sky, magnetic needles, etc. for navigation. Now that they have solved the problem of navigation and maps, they will naturally sail along the ocean currents, which is the most efficient way of navigation!
After all, the wind direction on the sea is not static, and sailboats of this era can already use winds in all directions, especially the hard sails of blessed ships. They are different from the soft sails in the West. In some cases, it can replace spinnakers. That is to say, even if it is a headwind, as long as it reaches a certain angle with the wind when sailing, it can use the wind blowing from the front of the side to sail forward. Therefore, without considering the wind direction, maximizing the utilization of ocean currents has become the most preferred option at present.
The Pacific Ocean has several independent circulation systems, such as the North Pacific subtropical circulation, which is mainly composed of the North equatorial current, the Black Tide and its continuous current, the North Pacific warm current, the California cold current, etc.; the South Pacific subtropical circulation is mainly composed of the South equatorial current, the East Australian warm current, the South Pacific westerly drifting and the Peruvian cold current.
And just now, the route mentioned by Shiroya was of course the best option. Anyway, Kasugabe Yoshino could not see any problem.
"no!"
"Your proposal was rejected!"
"Not passed!"
However, it was surprising that at this time, without waiting for someone to speak, the long-lasting bird next to him slowly lowered the sextant and hugged his arms and said confidently, not leaving any face for Shiliuye.
“??”
"Why?"
"yes!"
"Flynniao, I sound pretty good, why not?"
Hearing Asuka's words, Kasugabe Yoshi and the unknown Black Rabbit asked in a hurry.
"Miss!"
"Do you have any dissatisfaction with me?"
Shiliu Ye also threw an angry look at Fei Nuo with some displeasure.
"No dissatisfaction!"
"only……"
"I remember that a canal was only opened in 1914, and then guess what year will this gift game plane be in the wood sailing boat?"
After a little bit of control, Feiniao asked suddenly.
"ah!"
"I almost forgot about this!"
Upon hearing this, Kasugabe Yoshi suddenly covered her mouth and showed the shame and surprise look in her eyes without any concealment.
“??”
Black Rabbit was a little confused, but she couldn't ask her immediately, so she had to look at Shiliuye who was beside her.
“…”
At this time, no surprise, the face of Shiliu Ye was indeed full of the look of embarrassment and embarrassment, which seemed to be able to explain some problems without explanation.
"so!"
"Compared with the route mentioned just now by Sixteen Night..."
"I think this one might be more appropriate?"
As he said that, after seeing that Kasugabe Yoko and Shiroya were awakened by themselves and did not refute, Aoyaki Asuka proudly pointed his hand at the subtropical circulation of the South Pacific.
“…”
I was upset and was embarrassed by my carelessness. Of course, Shiliu Ye didn't say anything more, but just turned his head and looked at Anne.
"Anne?"
"What do you think?"
Of course, Kurora and Kasugabe Yoshi followed Annie and saw what else to add to Annie, who is the captain.
"Ai!"
ε=(ο｀*))) Alas
"It would be great if you can cheat. You can use the wind to blow us across the ocean!"
(O ^~^ O)
Anne sighed with emotion first, then continued:
"But since you can't, you can only do it as Sister Asuka just said!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Actually, in Annie's opinion, the route that Shiliuye mentioned just back is also OK, and there will be more supplies on the road, but the journey will be longer.
but!
Since she considered it was a racing race, in order to avoid the adverse effects of detours from the long journey, she must be more willing to be the route mentioned by the long-lasting sister Feiniao.
"very good!"
"That's what it's decided!"
Seeing that everyone had finally agreed to their opinions and found that Shiliuye's face still seemed to be not very good, Black Rabbit hurriedly made a decision and prepared to end today's somewhat unpleasant meeting.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ding! Ding!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Sudden!
Surprisingly, at this time, before waiting for Anne, Black Rabbit, Kasugabe Yoko and Nirhui Shiroya to meet, the sailor on the watchtower suddenly picked up a copper bell and knocked it hard, and successfully made the crisp, melodious and rapid "clang" sounds shake in the sea around this large blessed ship.
"alarm!"
"Enemy attack!!"
“On the east direction!”
“There are several sea boats!!”
"They lined up and surrounded us!!"
"alarm!"
"alarm!!"
Immediately afterwards, the sailor on the mast basket stuck out half of his body and roared at Anne, Black Rabbit and others who were not sure on the deck, with a scream like howling.
"What, what?"
"Enemy attack?"
"No way?"
"ah!"
"You'll meet another community so soon?"
Hearing this, Black Rabbit, back to the Sixteen Nights, Aoki Ao and Kasugabe Yoshinori were of course angry and screamed in surprise and looked at each other in a panic, wanting to see if the other party had any way to deal with it.
"Very good!"
Ha ha(*)
"All members of the battle post! Go forward at full speed! Get ready for battle!!!"
*.(ˊ▽ˋ*)*.
And what was different from the Black Rabbit, the performance of Jiuyuan Asuka and Kasugabe Yoshino was that Anne cheered excitedly at this time, and resolutely issued an order to prepare for the sailor crew who were also a little panicked as captain!
They have been out of the sea for a long time, and just now, Queen Anne was bored and wanted to find something to do. But now, without waiting for her to find some fun, the enemy came to the door first, so she could not let it go anyway.
You know, Queen Anne's cannon aiming technology and command ability are of top-notch level. Even if everyone's cannon range is similar, she has some ways to beat the enemy and cannot find it!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"Abide by the order!"
"The captain ordered!"
"All-staff combat posts!!"
Soon, with the roar of the first NPC mate, the crew members ran and became busy quickly, and began to take off the cannon's coat and push it to the door.
