Chapter 329? Compass and sextant
Since I saw the number of fish in the warm current zone of Neon Kanto Aomori Prefecture, Lu Hai has been trying to do something after returning to China.
Always fished in coastal areas.
Waiting for the fish to come by itself is really not a solution.
In addition, he has one million acres of exploration space on hand and has not been allocated yet, Lu Hai always feels that he can do something.
For example, a long voyage.
During this period, he has been studying nautical charts and learning some more traditional knowledge of fishing boat driving, such as how fishing boats went out to sea in the era without GPS.
I also learn some sudden situations on the sea surface, such as how to deal with heavy waves and winds, etc.
In order to Lu Hai, he ordered a large number of radio signal buoys from a factory that made buoys.
This kind of float is placed in the sea.
Even if there is no GPS, you can point the direction to the fishing boat. With just a simple setting of data, you will also know where the fishing boat will reach.
The premise is: the world of exploring space is consistent with the real world.
And Lu Hai, who has been observing for so long.
Not just from Xiaqi Island.
It is still the sea area around Aomori Prefecture. The overall similarity is 99%, which means that some coral reefs are quite different.
There are no coral reefs around Xiaqi Island, and there are also a large number of coral reefs and even bird guano islands in the exploration space.
......
Explore the space.
The transport ship was carrying a large number of signal buoys and was sailing on the sea. Lu Hai planned to take a trip to the easternmost part of Wanwan Province, a hundred kilometers away, and throw the radio buoys along the way.
The transport ship is very slow.
There are only about ten sections like this.
To convert, it is about 18.52 kilometers per hour.
At this speed.
It takes at least ten hours to reach the destination Lu Hai wants to go.
Since there is no GPS.
Lu Hai had to use a compass to determine the direction and then use a sextant to locate it.
The method of using these two things was taught by my grandfather. At that time, due to backward technology, domestic fishing boats could only sail in this way when they arrived outside the sea.
If the world of space is still the original earth, then there is no GPS.
Through the sextant, observe the height difference between the sun, the moon and the sea level at a specific time, and the angle reading on the sextant.
Then compare a special table to know the latitude and longitude you are in. By latitude and longitude, you can roughly determine your location.
Using these two ancient techniques, fishing boats on the land and sea are sailing on the sea surface. In order to facilitate the fishing boats to drive, the land and sea are determined just in the right direction.
Directly in the exploration space, I purchased a 200-meter-wide and 200-kilometer-long navigation channel, which consumed a total of 150,000 mu of exploration space.
Every 10 nautical miles of land and sea.
Just throw a radio signal float to locate it. Through the receiver on the fishing boat, the location of the radio float can be clearly known.
After having this thing.
Even when Lu and Hai are not there.
Xiaobai won’t get lost at sea through these wireless buoys. At the same time, Lu Hai taught her how to use the compass and sextant.
It is unrealistic to buy the entire Earth's sea area, but Xiaobai, as a native of exploring space, is not restricted by space.
You can go anywhere as you like.
For example, if you master it well in the future, you can drive the fishing boat to the exploration space of Aomori Prefecture. Luhai only needs to take a plane and enter Aomori Prefecture from the landing point to get along with Xiaobai and others.
At that time, after the fishing is completed, Xiaobai will take a boat to transport the things back. He does not have to go back with the boat. This method can even go to Australia to catch lobsters, king crabs, etc.
The goods sold in the future will not be so monotonous. They will always be these goods. They are the things captured outside the sea and must be declared. Uncle Zhao has particularly emphasized this point.
If there is a declaration, it is not called smuggling. If there is no declaration, it will be smuggled for all those sold on the market.
As for what land and sea capture.
According to Uncle Zhao's words: In theory, even if you catch the entire ship of bluefin tuna, as long as the other party does not catch it on the spot, you will fish in other people's territorial waters.
So......
This fish is still yours. Unless the opposite side can provide real evidence, you can definitely say that you were fishing on the high seas.
After all, the migration of marine life is not so stable. There are always a few horses, maybe they will lead the wrong way and take the tribe to other places.
Similarly, other seafood is the same, just some endangered marine life, try not to touch it, as it will cause a lot of trouble.
After Lu Hai avoided risks through official explanations.
I probably knew a truth.
Pay taxes hard, as long as you don’t smuggle it. To put it bluntly, even if it is a resource in another world, as long as you pay taxes, you can go through safety inspections.
Then it is legal.
......
The transport ship was on the sea for about 10 hours and set off at dawn. Now the sun is setting a little westward, and a lot of fish have been found along the way.
Lu Hai passed the sextant and tested it.
25° north latitude.30...,
121° East longitude.53...,
Lu Hai did not compare the chart, but picked up his mobile phone, opened an APP and entered specific information, and found that he had already arrived at the easternmost part of Wanwan Province.
Land and sea slowed down the speed of transport ships.
(Funny, it's slow.)
I used the DJI drone and flew to a high altitude and investigated the situation in the nearby sea area. As a result, when I rose to a height of one thousand meters, I passed the image.
You can find several small islands directly in front of the bow of the ship, and to the west is a vast land area.
If that's right, the protruding land in the west should be the northernmost part of Fugui Point Lighthouse in Wanwan Province.
Lu Hai stopped the transport ship.
I took a red flag from somewhere, put down a spare speedboat on the ship, and set out towards the protruding land.
After logging in.
I directly put the national flag of my motherland on it. In reality, I can't insert it yet. In this exploration space, I will insert it first. Although it is useless, it's so cool!
After returning to the transport ship, the land and sea did not stop, but chose to continue to set out. This time the destination was the Yaeshan Islands, which are difficult to save face.
Although this island is very close to the Wanwan Province of the motherland, it is from the Neon Kingdom and belongs to Okinawa Prefecture. It is about 400 kilometers from the Fugui Point Lighthouse to the Yaesyama Islands.
Lu Hai spent another 300,000 acres of exploration space to extend the scope of exploration to the Yaedesan Islands.
As for why Lu Hai wants to go to that place, the reason is relatively simple. It is where the warm current of the black tide passes. Relatively speaking, fishery resources are relatively rich.
At the same time, there are also various large fish, such as sailfish, bluefin tuna, yellowfin tuna, etc., and even eel fry relies on this warm current of dark tide to the coast.
According to the speed of the transport ship, it will take about 20 hours to reach the destination.
After it got dark.
Not long after the sky was shining, the night darkened, and the fishing boats were slowly sailing on the dark sea. In the sea without moonlight, the night was really terrifying.
It was pitch black all around.
Fortunately, Lu Hai has determined the direction of its progress, and because of the exploration space, the fishing boat seems to be driving on a big river. There is no need to worry about deviation at all, just drive forward boldly.
