I am the only one who can do it: I think I am really going to become an immortal

Secondly, you can take a look at the sea routes commonly used by ancient shipping routes such as the Silk Road, and look for shipwrecks along the way to satisfy your desire for exploration.

There are definitely more shipwrecks in places like this than in ordinary seas.

According to his research.

A considerable number of shipwrecks near China are located in the waters near Southeast Asia, especially in the South China Sea. As an important section of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, the South China Sea witnessed a large number of trade exchanges between ancient China and foreign countries. The area around XSQD is considered to be one of the areas with a large number of ancient shipwrecks, which is closely related to the history of the South China Sea Maritime Silk Road. Many of these shipwrecks were merchant ships engaged in international trade during the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, loaded with ceramics, silk, spices and other goods, and sank for various reasons during the voyage.

Since the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, Chinese merchant ships have sailed to Southeast Asia for trade using advanced technologies such as watertight bulkheads. Starting in the late Tang Dynasty, a large-scale trade network between China and Southeast Asia gradually took shape, and with the large-scale export of commodities such as ceramics, the number of shipwrecks in this region increased.

As for the East China Sea, the Yellow Sea and other areas, although there are also shipwrecks, the number is not as much as that in the South China Sea.

According to historical records, the South China Sea should be the area with the largest number of ancient shipwrecks in China's waters. Due to its vast area (more than 300 million square kilometers), complex seabed topography, changeable weather conditions, and its historical role as an important waterway on the Maritime Silk Road, a large number of ships have sunk here.

According to statistics, there may be more than 2,000 ancient shipwrecks in the South China Sea, involving different dynasties, especially near XSQD, which is considered to be the place with the most Ming Dynasty shipwrecks. These shipwrecks contain many precious cultural relics, such as porcelain, metal products, etc., which are of great value for studying ancient maritime trade and cultural exchanges.

In contrast, although ancient shipwrecks also exist in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea regions, they are generally not as dense as those in the South China Sea in terms of number and known historical shipwreck sites.

Therefore, Chen Yun planned to pass through the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, go south from their east, and finally reach the South China Sea area near Southeast Asia.

This may include passing through some of the former routes between China and island countries and peninsulas, and the final goal is the complex routes between China and Southeast Asia.

This is a long journey.

The distance is almost two thousand kilometers.

Even at his speed of 60 kilometers per hour, he would have to swim non-stop for more than hours.

Although his infinitely recoverable physical strength allowed him to swim almost non-stop for more than thirty hours, he was not really swimming non-stop.

Take into account the time needed to appreciate the underwater world, fight with marine beasts, and search for shipwrecks.

I'm afraid it will be far more than thirty hours.

Even if he continued to improve his physical strength on a daily basis and thus indirectly increased his swimming speed, it would most likely take him several days to reach Southeast Asia.

Even though it would only take a few days to reach Southeast Asia, if you include the time it takes to get back, he would definitely have to spend a few days in the sea.

Considering that today is April 14th, Sunday.

The eighth dormant evolution on Tuesday, April 16th, will most likely also take place during this sea swimming exercise.

So this trip is destined to be a wonderful journey.

Ultra-long distance swimming training, beautiful sea views, marine beasts, shipwreck treasures, dormant evolution...

Chen Yun was looking forward to this.

Chapter 183 Fishing Boats Crossing the Border

April 15th, 5:30 in the morning.

The sea breeze blows constantly.

The calm sea surface was stirred up with a slight ripple.

As the morning light breaks, a hint of light blue slowly spreads across the sky, like the gentlest brushstroke of nature, gradually spreading across the vast canvas.

The sea, a giant that had been sleeping all night, gently opened the curtain of night to welcome the kiss of the first ray of sunlight. The morning light penetrated the mist like a thread, and the boundary between the sea and the sky became blurred and soft, and everything was bathed in a peaceful and mysterious blue-gray.

The breeze blows gently, bringing a bit of freshness and coolness, and layers of delicate ripples appear on the sea surface, sparkling with delicate silver light.

Chen Yun, who had been swimming all night under the sea, gradually stopped swimming.

The difference in longitude between Qixi City and the east side of Shawai Fishery is about 6.34 degrees. One degree of longitude difference is about 111 kilometers at the equator.

Qixi City and Shawai Fishery, which are not in the equatorial zone, are approximately at 32 degrees north latitude, which is actually smaller than the longitude difference on the equator.

Therefore, the actual distance between Qixi City and the east side of Shawai Fishery is about 6.34*111*COS32 degrees, which is 602 kilometers.

For Chen Yun, who had been traveling all night and one early morning, almost nine hours, he knew that he had almost arrived at the east side of the Shawai Fishery.

The previous 2000 kilometers of travel distance only calculated the distance to the south, and the actual kilometers to the east away from the coast were not included.

The real journey has just begun.

The east-west journey has been completed, and I have arrived at a sea area with an average depth of nearly one hundred meters.

According to the scheduled arrangement.

The next step is to head south along the edge of the territorial waters.

Relying on the beyond-visual-range directional perception to sense the distance and direction of the flying sword left in Qixi City, Chen Yun can accurately adjust the direction to the south.

However, Chen Yun, who had traveled all night until dawn and swam 600 kilometers, did not plan to head south immediately.

He planned to wander around a bit and look for some marine life to catch and play with.

Because the journey this night was really boring.

Along the way, he deliberately swayed left and right from time to time, making an S-curve and moving forward in a spiral.

The purpose is to rely on such operations to extend the range of his perception of the transparent world, so as to avoid missing a lot by just swimming in a straight line.

But even if this is done.

His maximum perception range of 300 meters seems too small in the ocean.

It's almost like stirring a large jar with a toothpick.

Even if a toothpick is stirred around in a water tank, how much area can it cover?

So Chen Yun didn't find any sunken ships along the way.

So I feel quite boring.

Thinking of this, Chen Yun began to wander around the surrounding sea.

The Shawai Fishery is an important fishing ground, especially known for catching Pacific squid. Pacific squid is the most productive cephalopod in the world economy and is commonly found in the waters around the island seas and island archipelagos. These waters are ideal for catching squid and other cephalopods because of their specific marine environmental conditions, which are conducive to the reproduction and growth of cephalopods.

A short distance to the east of the Shawai Fishing Ground basically enters the territorial waters of the island country.

So it’s no surprise that Pacific squid is abundant there.

Pacific squid may have different common names in different regions, such as black squid, northern squid, true squid, etc. They belong to the class Cephalopoda, order Lanceri, family Ophiopoda, subfamily Ophioinae, and genus Ophiopoda.

This squid has an oblong conical body, with a length of about 4-5 times the width of the body and a tapering rear. The body surface features include round spots, a distinct black wide band in the middle of the back, which extends to the rear end of the fleshy fin, and a brown-black color on the back of the head and the center of the sessile arm.

While Chen Yun was strolling around, he saw quite a few of these squids.

He quickly caught one and tried to eat it raw.

The result was that, just as expected, there was indeed no appetite. It seemed that only the species of Reptiles, Diapsida, Squamata and Serpents could feel their appetite.

He had only tried lizards and crocodiles, which were also members of the Diapsid subclass, and the answer was that they did not stimulate appetite at all.

The same is true now if we change to cephalopods.

After thinking for a while, Chen Yun was about to head south.

However, within the range of his transparent world perception, he suddenly discovered a fishing boat.

It was an island fishing boat.

Although there were no flags or any distinctive signs on it, Chen Yun could hear the Japanese conversation between several fishermen on it.

It crossed the border silently at some point, its figure looming in the hazy morning light, like a lurking ghost.

The ship is not big, but it is equipped with modern fishing facilities. Neat rows of fishing nets are hung on both sides of the ship, revealing that the purpose of its trip is not simple.

The people on the boat moved quickly and carefully, trying to avoid making any noise.

Several fishermen who were casting nets wore hats and began to cast their nets without saying a word.

Their silent and commanding appearance made it seem like this was not the first or second time they came here to secretly fish for other countries' fishery resources.

At the moment when the fishing net was slowly lowered into the sea, it seemed that even the air froze, and only the sound of the sea water gently hitting the hull and the subtle gurgling sound of the fishing net sinking into the water could be heard.

When Chen Yun saw this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

As he slowly approached without making any noise, he quickly deciphered the meaning of the conversation between these island fishermen in his mind.

Although he didn't specifically learn Japanese.

But at this moment, all the TV series, movies, animations, and action films that I had watched from the island country were clearly recalled.

With powerful information processing and analytical abilities, he began to quickly combine the Chinese subtitles in his memory with the words of the island actors in his memory.

soon.

Chen Yun went from knowing nothing to almost understanding Japanese.

The whole process is not slow, it just takes a few seconds.

Chen Yun has basically learned a foreign language, which is unimaginable for all human beings.

And as he was able to understand.

The conversation on the fishing boat began to be deciphered in real time in his mind:

[I don't know how many wild geochelone fish we can catch this time. This thing is very expensive all over the world, and it seems to be almost extinct near our waters. ]

[The Chinese government has banned the capture and sale of wild geochelone fish in order to increase their population, so apart from us, not many people dare to catch them.]

[Does this mean that we will still gain a lot from this trip? ]

[Well, since they don't fish, that's a good opportunity for us to fish.]

Listening to the whispered conversation between the three people on the fishing boat, Chen Yun, who had already approached the bottom of the fishing boat, narrowed his eyes.

Obviously.

The people on this fishing boat are not the poor people in the island country who have been oppressed by the shameless officials and can no longer survive.

They secretly cross the border to come here to fish not for food or a living, but purely for the dream of getting rich and for the precious earth-marked fish.

Since Chen Yun had seen this, he naturally did not intend to tolerate it.

Recalling the film The Old Man and the Sea that he had watched before, Chen Yun had a bold idea.

He dived into deeper water.

Looking at the falling fishing nets, Chen Yun quickly flew over the edges of the fishing nets, grabbed them together, and twisted them into a fishing net rope.

The taut fishing net made the people on the fishing boat immediately realize that something was wrong.

"Oh my God! The boat is rocking!"

"It looks like something big has entered the net!"

"The fishing sonar shows it's close to two meters. Is it a shark or something else?"

"How can a shark less than two meters long shake our ten-meter-long fishing boat?!"

There were a lot of exclamations and discussions on the fishing boat.

Before they could decide what to do next.

The fishing nets began to gather in a certain direction of the fishing boat, as if they were twisted into a rope as if being pulled by something.

next moment.

A huge force came from the end of the twisted fishing net.

The fishing boat had almost no ability to resist and began to move slowly in that direction, and the speed of movement was gradually increasing.

"What kind of power is this? Our fishing boat weighs ten tons. Even if it has buoyancy on the water, it must have at least ten tons of power to move so easily, right?!"

"Not good! Quickly reverse the power!"

The fishermen from the island nation on the fishing boat exclaimed in surprise, and then began to operate in a panic.

But after they started the power in reverse.

The fishing boat was already being driven forward by the force at the end of the fishing net and began to accelerate at a fairly fast speed.

Several people on the fishing boat felt a push on their backs.

Wait until the power reverse start is successful.

It just caused the speed to stagnate and then slow down a little, but in fact it was still moving forward driven by the force at the end of the fishing net.

At this moment, the fishing boat seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and it accelerated forward involuntarily. The fishing net was dragged heavily in front of the boat, not because of the full load of fish, but because of the entanglement of an unknown monster under the water.

The monster's power was so astonishing that the roar of the old engine seemed particularly harsh in the unusual pull, but it was powerless to resist.
