Chapter 276 Successfully Landing on the Island
On the other side of the mountains in space, far away from the salt lake.
Seawater is rapidly converging.
When space absorbs seawater, it is not absorbed and regenerated, but rather directly receives the seawater.
This indicates that this seawater can be used directly without the need for purification.
While collecting seawater, Shen Shuli also collected the fish from the surrounding sea area into her space.
Just one hour.
A small area of sea appeared in the space, larger than a freshwater river!
The only drawback is that this sea area only has a few species of fish.
Mu Wanjun also had a lot of fun playing underwater.
She hadn't had time to go diving in two years, so she had a great time this time.
Exhausted, the two swam to the surface of the sea, drank some spring water to replenish their energy, and continued swimming.
In order to save time, the large ship also sailed at night, but at only half the speed of the daytime.
If it's a fishing boat, they absolutely dare not sail at night, for fear of getting lost on the sea and drifting further and further away.
However, Shen Shuli installed a modern military compass and a compass in the cockpit, so as long as the captain clearly follows the designated direction, the ship will never deviate from its course.
Moreover, Shen Shuli had already scouted the waters near the island beforehand, and there were no reefs or islets along the way, so there was no need to worry about the risks of running aground or colliding with other ships.
The only dangers are the sea breeze and the waves.
Fortunately, the ship has good pressure resistance and can remain stable as long as there are no strong winds or waves.
Mu Wanjun was exhausted after diving for two hours, so Shen Shuli helped her onto the boat and told her to rest.
She wanted to continue collecting seawater, wanting to know where the limits of space lay.
However, she couldn't stay underwater for long periods of time; even with the spiritual spring water, her energy would still be depleted.
She tied herself to the stern of the boat and let it pull her along, using her mind to move the sea behind the boat.
On the evening of the second day.
Shen Shuli's spatial ability then reached level six.
However, this time, apart from the fact that the size of the mountain range remained unchanged, the spirit fields, spirit springs, and warehouses were all upgraded!
A batch of jadeite rough stones stored in the mountains has disappeared.
No matter how much seawater Shen Shuli collected afterward, there was no sign of the space upgrading.
After two days of transport, the area reached 1,000 square kilometers.
However, the seawater is only ten meters deep, which is too shallow for most sea fish to adapt to.
Shen Shuli was somewhat dissatisfied.
If it could reach a depth of 10,000 meters, it would be perfect, as most marine fish species should be able to adapt.
As if sensing her thoughts, the space itself underwent a tremendous change.
The once vast sea area is visibly shrinking, but the depth is rapidly increasing!
Shen Shuli's eyes lit up instantly!
Seeing that the surface area of the sea was getting smaller and smaller, she quickly intensified her efforts to collect seawater!
that's it.
Shen Shuli stayed in the sea for five whole days until the sea area reached a size that satisfied her before she came ashore.
I feel like I'm being pickled by the seawater.
Shen Shuli immediately returned to her cabin to take a hot bath and clean herself. After eating, she had a seafood sashimi meal in her room before leaving.
"It's getting foggy!"
As soon as Shen Shuli arrived on the deck, she noticed that a thick fog had risen over the sea.
She immediately realized something and rushed to find Su Yunhai to ask about the situation.
"We must have entered the fog zone," Su Yunhai explained in a low voice.
Shen Shuli's guess was confirmed.
Shen Shuli asked, "Is there fog in this sea area all year round? Even during the day or when it rains?"
“That should be the case.” Su Yunhai’s thoughts were similar to hers.
We sailed at sea for five or six days. Although it was drizzling the whole time, there was almost no fog at sea, and even when there was fog, it was at night.
Now, the ship has just sailed to a position of about 250 nautical miles when a large area of fog appeared.
The fog appeared in this same location when I last explored the area by helicopter at night.
It's midday today.
This indicates that this foggy area has existed for many years.
It was probably intentionally set up by the author to protect the existence of the uninhabited island.
"Let the crew slow down a bit, and speed up after we get through this foggy area," Shen Shuli suggested to avoid any accidents.
"Yes, I know."
Upon entering the foggy area, everyone on the ship couldn't help but feel worried.
Especially those who sail the boats.
They instinctively slowed down and prepared for anything.
The foggy area is fifty nautical miles long.
The large ship did not pass through completely until noon on the second day.
According to estimates, they should arrive at the island on the seventh day.
However, it took them seven days to cross the fog zone, and there were still fifty nautical miles to go before they reached the island.
But just as the large ship accelerated, the sea breeze suddenly became stronger!
A huge wave crashed violently towards the large ship!
Those in the lowest deck could feel the ship trembling as it was being battered by the waves.
Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai's expressions changed simultaneously. They exchanged a glance, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.
"Reduce speed! Stabilize the ship, let's go out and take a look!" Su Yunhai instructed the captain.
"Yes, Master Su!"
Worried about potential problems, Su Yunhai woke up all the crew members on duty and sent them to the cabin to help.
The people on deck have been taken back to their cabins by Su Yunshan and Xuan Wangqing.
It had been raining all day, and the sky was overcast.
The sea breeze in the nearby area was so strong that it created waves that were more than ten meters high, like a giant abyss beast about to devour the ship!
There were also flashes of lightning from time to time, as if they had entered some forbidden zone.
Seeing that the huge wave was about to crash onto the ship, Shen Shuli immediately ordered Su Yunhai to drive Xie Chengyuan, Xiao Yuxuan and more than a dozen guards away from the deck.
Just as the large wave was about to subside, Shen Shuli quickly used her consciousness to envelop the entire wave, drawing the seawater into her spatial dimension.
After battling five large waves, the ship finally made it out of the area.
If there were only five waves, the large ship could easily withstand them if Shen Shuli didn't store them in her spatial storage.
If waves of this size continue to appear, the ship may not be able to hold on.
The sea behind finally returned to complete calm.
But the calmness felt strangely eerie.
It's as if a large ship is sailing on a lake, not on the sea.
Fortunately, the next forty nautical miles were calm, and the group could already see the huge island in front of them.
The captain reduced speed and carefully observed where they could anchor.
After driving around half of the island, we finally saw a beach where we could dock.
The water level at the beach was too low for large ships to approach, so they stopped far away.
Everyone on the ship breathed a sigh of relief.
Including crew members.
The captain and crew had never been to this unfamiliar sea area before.
They had only heard that there was an island here, but apart from the people on that boat, no one else had ever successfully found it.
Everyone assumed those people were liars.
Surprisingly, they actually found it!
It's important to know that when these crew members and the captain learned that this group was coming to the island, they were all prepared to die.
Who told them to be sold off, along with their boat, to these lunatics by the government!
But the result was actually good!
Overwhelmed with joy, all the crew members embraced each other and wept bitterly, having survived the ordeal.
Su Yunhai and Xiao Yuxuan quickly instructed the guards to lower the small escape boat from the cabin for emergencies and bring the people ashore.
"The scenery here is absolutely stunning!"
"Yes, I never expected there to be such a beautiful place here!"
"Captain Su, I can swim, I can swim there myself."
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Before Su Yunhai could respond, the man had already jumped into the sea.
Others who could swim also realized what was happening and immediately jumped into the sea.
There are bound to be some people in the team who are impatient and good at swimming.
They couldn't wait to jump into the sea and raced each other to the shore.
Su Yunhai quickly checked the sea area and was relieved to find that there were no large sharks or other marine predators there.
The cabin only held ten small boats; the boat's capacity was simply too small.
Two thousand people occupied the cargo hold. If it weren't for the fact that the island has no dock and large ships cannot get too close to the island, it would be impossible to get there.
These ten small boats will not be taken along at all.
Su Yunhai first sent the elderly and children ashore, then the women and men, and finally left the strong men to carry supplies and carts.
It continued until mid-afternoon.
The ship's hold contained only the basic supplies needed for the crew's next voyage; all other supplies were sent ashore.
This location was not suitable for mooring ships, so the crew maneuvered the large ship nearby and, after making sure it wouldn't be swept away by the waves, finally went ashore.
It's getting late.
Since no one had time to properly explore and appreciate the surrounding scenery, they had to hurry to find a spot to set up their tents for the night.
Some people scouted the surrounding area to prevent the appearance of wild animals or snakes, while others were responsible for finding water, chopping wood, cooking, and other tasks.
I estimate that infrastructure construction will begin tomorrow.
Shen Shuli secretly called Su Yunhai and Mu Wanjun, and the three of them sneaked out of the camp and went to the nearby mountains.
"Dad, Jun, come with me. We need to thoroughly explore this island and find the most suitable area to live in. Otherwise, we'll lose a lot if we build a house anywhere and then find it's not suitable."
Su Yunhai nodded and said, "You're right, it's best to find a location with a fresh water source."
"Let's go find a place to fly the helicopter."
Once they were far from the coast, Shen Shuli took out the helicopter and slowly lifted off with Su Yunhai and Mu Wanjun.
It has to be said that the island is really too big.
It covers an area of 500,000 square kilometers.
It's about the size of a certain province in Sichuan!
With over two thousand people occupying such a large island, if you threw them in and scattered them, they would lose contact in no time.
"It's best not to go too far from the sea, otherwise transporting supplies will be very troublesome," Shen Shuli reminded the two.
By the time the helicopter had accurately recorded the topographical map of the entire island, it was already past midnight.
The three decided to find a place to park the helicopter and discuss and analyze suitable locations for settling down from inside.
The mountains are covered with lush vegetation and a large number of wild animals, as if the entire island has never been affected by the extreme heat.
This is the buff that the author's own mother added to this island.
Moreover, the island has abundant water resources.
From a high vantage point, the three men spotted at least four or five freshwater rivers of varying sizes.
One of the largest rivers is located in the center of the island, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, effectively blocking strong sea winds.
The only side without mountains offers a view of the beautiful sea.
But this location is too far from the sea.
Because this location is exactly at the very center of the entire island.
It seems to be the perfect living area prepared specifically for those who come to the island.
