i have a super island

Chapter 1038 Entering Uncharted Seas
Under the coaxing and deception by the equation, although Harper was unwilling, he could only drive a boat of laborers to the volcanic island.

When it was tens of meters away from the volcanic island, the draft of the golden battleship could no longer move forward, otherwise it would run aground on the reef on the seabed.At this time, the equation asked Harper to put down several small boats, and took the eighty-odd laborers to board the volcanic island in small boats.

The method of landing was the same as before, and Hathaway controlled the current to carry several small boats directly to the island.

After arriving on the island, the laborers disembarked from the boat one after another, along with their half-month rations.

The work of digging the mountain this time could not be completed in a few days, so they brought enough food.

In addition, some of these people were responsible for building the shed, and they even brought the materials such as wood and nails needed to build the shed.

When it was time to leave the volcanic island, Fang Fang personally supervised the distribution of masks to these workers. Each person received three masks at a time, and Chang Ya was responsible for taking care of the rest. Those who needed to be used would apply to Chang Ya individually.

After explaining to these workers some prohibited items, Fang Yuan and Hathaway returned to the golden battleship together.

Harper didn't know what Equation brought these people to the volcanic island from the beginning to the end. Even he himself saw the volcano for the first time before he knew that there are such majestic and magnificent places in this world.

"Did you leave them here?"

When the equation returned to the boat, Harper couldn't help asking curiously.

Fang Fang said with a smile: "There is an important job to keep them. I need them to collect the sulfur mines on this island."

"What is a sulfur mine?"

"An ore that can be used as a raw material for making gunpowder."

Harper knew nothing about the making of gunpowder, but he still knew what gunpowder was. After all, he had touched a musket once and shot a target.

Hearing from Equation that this volcanic island has raw materials for making gunpowder, Harper felt very novel, and secretly wondered whether it is because the gap on the top of the mountain can emit flames, so the stones here can be made into gunpowder?
Fang Fang put his arms around Harper and treated him completely as a buddy, "If you want to know how this volcano is formed and how this gunpowder is made, I can tell you about it."

Harper didn't push away the equation. Although he refused to admit it, he still wanted to hear it from the equation.

Fang Fang smiled evilly, and threw out another condition to Harper, "If you are willing to go with me to another place, then I will chat with you on the way."

Harper shook off Equation, but still did not refuse. He just walked to the bow of the boat, turned back to Equation and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Good brother, let's go west."

The equation no longer regards Harper as an outsider, and even wants to encourage Harper to sail west.

The golden battleship turned its bow and headed west, and Equation talked to Harper about the theory of continental plate drift, and gave him a chemistry class by the way, teaching him that saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal can be mixed together to make gunpowder.

This talk lasted for two hours, and Harper listened with relish. He is not a person who advocates science, but he admires more advanced weapons, so he especially wants to know this.

When he listened to Equation talking about these things, what he believed in was also quietly changing.

"General, the sea current ahead is turbulent, our boat will be very bumpy!"

On the mast, came the voice of the lookout.

Harper walked to the bow to check the situation ahead, and sure enough, he saw that the sea water in front was mixed with several colors.

People who have sailed on the sea all the year round know that seawater with different temperatures has different colors. Now the seawater in front of us has at least several colors such as dark black, dark blue, and light white, which means that there are several ocean currents converging together.

Such sea conditions appear to be calm on the surface, but in fact there are undercurrents surging under the water surface, and ordinary small boats will be capsized by undercurrents if they are a little careless in such places.

There is no big problem with a big ship like a golden battleship. It can cope with this kind of sea condition, but it is not easy, because undercurrents will make the ship particularly shaken.

Sure enough, when the bow of the boat split the waves and drove into the area where the water flow converged, the hull began to shake violently from side to side, and the people on the boat seemed to be sitting in a cradle, being shaken dizzily.

Fortunately, today's wind is relatively strong, and the sails of the golden battleship were inflated. Driven by the wind, the battleship quickly passed through the sea area where undercurrents gathered.

"General, there is an island ahead!"

The watchman's voice came from the observation deck again.

Equation and Harper stood at the bow, and they could see the outline of an island appearing in the field of vision.

Judging from the distance between them and the outline of the island, Equation's face was slightly disappointed. It seemed that the island was not very big, perhaps about the size of Wan Guo Island.

At the beginning, he was full of hope, wanting to find an island in this sea area that was much larger than Wan Guo Island, so that he could bring everyone to migrate here, but now it seems that this hope is not great.

The battleship continued to head towards the island, and the outline of the island was getting bigger and bigger, which meant that the distance from the island was getting closer.

Suddenly, another message came from the watchman, "General, there is a large reef ahead, our boat can't get through!"

Harper's face darkened, and he finally came here, and he passed through the dark and turbulent mixed flow area ahead, so it's hard to turn around here.

Equation is also cursing inwardly, what is this called, there are undercurrents or reefs along the way, so you can’t sail a boat properly, right?Suddenly, Equation changed his mind. Maybe it was because of such complicated sea conditions that the two charts in his hand did not record the situation of this sea area, because it was impossible to rely on those people's boats. Enter this sea area.

"How to do?"

Harper looked at the equation, seeking his opinion.

Before Equation could speak, he felt the battleship move suddenly, and then the people on the deck seemed to be taking an elevator, watching themselves rise little by little, getting higher and higher from the sea level.

The soldiers were all terrified. This scene reminded them of that night in the thick fog, when a battleship was lifted into the air and then smashed heavily on the sea.

Fang Fang patted Harper's shoulder and smiled triumphantly, "Don't worry, Hathaway is helping us pass through this reef area."

The ship was suspended at a height of about ten meters above the sea surface, and below the ship was the continuously surging sea water, which was supporting the golden battleship to sail forward.This feeling of floating in mid-air was unprecedented, which made Harper and the soldiers feel both scared and novel.

Finally, after the ship passed the reef area at an extremely fast speed, the water accumulated at the bottom slowly receded, and the huge hull was able to land on the water safely.

Harper broke into a cold sweat and complained to Fang Fang: "Could you say hello before lifting the boat next time?"

Fang Fang looked sideways at Hathaway who was standing at the other end of the bow, and the two smiled at each other, then turned to Harper and said, "Then you have to ask that Princess Hathaway."
