"There is a continent to the west of the Atlantic Ocean, east of the Pacific Ocean. My teacher calls it America. Let's ignore it for now. It is too far from us. When you have the opportunity, you will take you to see it. Now we will only talk about the Atlantic Ocean. From the equator, the Atlantic Ocean is divided into two parts, north and south. There are very obvious differences in the two seas in the south and north. The north is the northeast trade wind belt, the south is the southeast trade wind belt, and the middle is the equatorial low-pressure belt. Not only is the fuzzy wind belt, but also the wind belt.

It rains all year round and it goes down when you have nothing to do, so I would like to remind you to do the waterproofing work on the boat. If our food is moldy, then eat fish every day! The good news is that there are a lot of fish here, so there is some fish!" Hong Tao had suffered from the Atlantic equatorial windless belt in his previous life. Not only was the wind weak and there was no fixed wind direction, but it also rained all day long and the bottom cabin grew hair. So in this life he had to tell these crew members in advance to make them mentally prepared.

After leaving the Cape Town Port, Hong Tao did not choose to sail along the west coast of Africa. It was not only slow but also unsafe. This sea area had not been explored, and it would be troublesome if it hits a reef or a small island. At this time, there should be no supply ports on the west coast of Africa, and it is even a problem whether there is a port. Hong Tao chose the shortest and most test of navigation technology, and took the Cape Verde Islands directly from Cape Town. As the most important relay station between Europe and Africa, he still remembers the coordinates of Playa, the capital of the Cape Verde Republic, that if there were no major changes in geographical conditions at this time, this archipelago should have been able to find this archipelago.

It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but it makes sense. Since the Jinhe and Malacca entered the windless belt, they have been in a row. The closer they get to the Cape Verde Islands, the more difficult it is. First, two sailors of Malacca were bitten by jellyfish while swimming in the sea, and their skin was ulcerated, and they died two days later. Then a plague broke out in the poultry cabin of the Jinhe. The only three pigs and more than ten sheep were all infected and had diarrhea all day long. Hong Tao was not afraid of bad weather or high sea conditions, but he was afraid of diseases. Various diseases could make his hair stand up all over his body. In order to avoid the spread of diseases on these livestock to humans, he ordered all the livestock to be thrown away, and the cabin was disinfected and sealed. Even the sailors who raised pigs and sheep were isolated all day long, and when will Cape Verde be released.

"Girl. I saw it. Sailing is a chore. When I grow up, I'd better draw your paintings. Girls are not suitable for this job. Let my brothers do the adventure, and you just wait for them to explore. Isn't it just enough to take a big boat to see." After seeing the sailor's body was thrown into the sea from the boat, and then the alive pigs and sheep were thrown into the sea. Hong Tao was a little disagree with Hong Yu's ambitions. The girl said that when she grows up, she would drive her own boat around the world like her father, not to buy, but just simply explore. Because Hong Tao always said that exploring the unknown is the most fun thing in the world. At this time, Hong Tao wanted to add another sentence, exploring the unknown is also the most dangerous thing in the world.

"I don't! Sister Weng can be the captain, why can't I? I have to run farther than Sister Weng. I want to find the mainland over there and draw it on the chart!" Unfortunately, Hong Yu couldn't understand her father's mood. Her ideals were very firm. For a child who had been used to seeing the sea since childhood, wind and waves were nothing, and dead people could not shake her determination.

"It's... you're doing your own fault! My sister will accompany you at that time. We only have girls on the boat, so don't even have your father?" Looking at Hong Tao's bitter face, Jiang Zhuyi smiled again. She looked more and more like Hong Tao. She would be happy whenever she saw Hong Tao's unlucky.

"Okay, I'll go with Sister Jiang!" Hong Yu has become Jiang Zhuyi's prisoner. In the past few months on the boat, Jiang Zhuyi has been taking care of her daily life. She has taken good care of her, so their relationship has developed rapidly, and there are even signs of surpassing Hong Tao.

"I'm a bad person, you should call her aunt... This is going to be crazy! Tell the Malacca and let it lower the top sail for me. It's so strong. Don't want the mast!" The woman was too big to stay. Hong Tao felt that she couldn't keep the little girl Hong Yu. Another thing that could not be kept was Carl's return home like an arrow. As soon as he came out of the windless belt, he actually raised the sails with a huge crosswind, which means there was no place on the mast, otherwise he could hang the spare sails as well.

"Uncle, I saw a seabird. There should be land in front of me..." The new intern captain of the Jinhe ship is Huang Ya. He has just turned sixteen and has only graduated from the navigation school for half a year. He has been promoted to captain in an extraordinary way.

On the issue of Jinhewan's management, Hong Tao is willing to be fairer and try to give everyone a way to rise. But in the appointment of senior fleet officials, he is definitely nepotism. Those children of the Han family who grew up with him since childhood are not too stupid, the speed of promotion is absolutely whirlwind. Someone has also put forward opinions on this matter at the board of directors, but when Hong Tao rejected it, his answer was very simple: the fleet is a military institution, and it must be different from civilian management. Whoever has the ability to lead this fleet will give way immediately, otherwise shut up. The matter in the fleet has the final say and there is no negotiation.

"Nonsense, I'm running forward without land! I can call you a sir or a principal in the future. If you don't have your uncle on the ship, you'll have a long time to get on the ship, and you'll have no problem with the internship, not later than the mooring of fish and shrimps, but this child is so kind that he can't be the captain. Because the captain is a complex of one third of a navigation expert, one third of a politician, and one third of a bastard, Huang Ya has enough knowledge of navigation and no problem with the crew. It's just that this little bastard is not good at being, so he can't get the appreciation of Hong Tao, a big bastard.

"Uncle Carl said that his ship supplies were enough, could he continue to move forward without stopping?" Unfortunately, Huang Yazhizhi finally didn't understand why he had commanded warships independently for several years. He was still in school, and even if he was on board, he was an intern officer.

"No! You have to dock. I'll tell you again. If you can't remember, go climbing the mast and be a sailboat! There is no uncle on the boat, and there can't be Uncle Carl, do you understand?" Hong Tao really wanted to kick this confused child into the sea. Everyone knows that Carl wants to go home early, but you can't just put the rules of the fleet aside just because he was coaxing you to play with Uncle Carl since he was a child. It's worth hundreds of lives of these two ships, but it's not as good as a person's mood? No matter how smart or capable a person is, it's useless to not understand the priorities. This is a fatal injury, a fatal injury to be a commander.

"Oh..." Huang Ya pouted. He still didn't understand it very well. He was just afraid of his uncle of the great devil, so he had to nod against his will. He couldn't understand why he could not take any risk to satisfy Uncle Carl's wishes when the supply was sufficient and the ship condition allowed. When he was a child, Uncle Carl often carried himself to the boat to play, and taught himself Latin, and was very good to his uncle. Why couldn't he repay him? This bad uncle!!!

The Cape Verde Islands are located on the North Atlantic Ocean 500 kilometers west of the protruding part of the western African continent. The entire archipelago is divided into two parts: the windward islands in the north and the leeward islands in the south. Once you hear this name, you can know the general climate here. The windward islands are located in the northeastern high-pressure belt, and the northeast winds are blowing all year round. The leeward islands are slightly better and are located at the edge of the subtropical high-pressure belt. The wind is not too strong, but it is drought. In fact, you can see how drought is here when you look east. The West African continent at the same latitude in the east is exactly the edge of the southern Sahara Desert.

In his previous life, Hong Tao stopped here while traveling around the world while sailing. He died of poverty in his broken place. Apart from some volcanic rocks, there is only enough sea salt and sunshine. However, there is a very good port here, just at the southern end of Santiago Island, which is the capital of the Cape Verde Republic. Of course, there is no Cape Verde Republic at this time, so it is still a question whether there are people on the island.

Regardless of whether there are people on the island, the island is named Jin, Hong Tao is determined to win. It is poor and unlimited. Hong Tao only needs Playa Bay, and he wants to build a military port here to deal with the possible European ships to the south in the future. If Cape Town Port is a fortress guarding the Eurasian dividing line, then Playa Port is an outpost. If you want to go south from Europe, you must first pass this level and be able to break through, then we meet Cape Town! If you can break through, Hong Tao feels that he can give way and let more capable people become the chairman.

"We are going to build a base here? Have you been here?" Carl finally understood why Hong Tao had to stay in Cape Town for so long. Before leaving, he loaded a pile of rags on board. It turned out that he wanted to set up a supply point here.

"Didn't you say that? Don't ask where I came from, and don't ask where I'm going. You don't understand my world! Work, stop talking nonsense, take your boat to the island west to see. There is an active volcano, just like Jinhewan, to see if there is enough volcanic ash." Hong Tao is too lazy to make up lies now, mainly because this lies span is too long and there are too many loopholes. After ten years of compilation, who has the ability to do this?

"I won't go. I've seen a volcano eruption. If it erupts, no one can escape from the surrounding people. I'm almost at the doorstep. You want me to die inexplicably! Let Huangya go, he is not afraid of volcanoes!" Carl didn't want to stay on this broken island for a minute. He seemed to have smelled the cheese in his hometown. Without looking at the compass, he could turn his face to the north accurately... As for who Hong Tao is? He has almost forgotten.
