Chapter 1571 Good times are coming

    The rescue lasted all night, until no more survivors could be found, and it ended completely at dawn.

    In the cabin, the crew members were huddled together and shivering, and they could no longer tell who was the rescuer and who was the rescued.  The head chef mixed the ginger slices into jars of strong liquor and distributed them to the crew members to drink to warm themselves up.

    In the medical room, the ship's doctors are still busy. They have been giving priority to the suffocating patients, hypothermic patients and seriously injured patients.  It was only now that it was emptied out and used to bandage and set the bones of the crew members who had broken muscles, broken bones, and bloody heads.

    At this time, the roaring west wind belt finally revealed her gentle side. Not only did the wind fall, but the rain also stopped, and the warm sunshine illuminated the sea surface brilliantly.

    "If it weren't for the tattered canvas, ship materials, wooden barrels floating on the waterthe existence of these incriminating evidences would make it impossible to connect this calm sea with the crazy tyrant last night.

    Lin Feng lay tiredly on the railing, drinking wine while listening to Ma Jishan's report on the casualties.

    "The statistics of each ship have been counted. Eleven people including the captain were missing from the Tianbao last night. In addition, three people were missing from Gaoyou Lake, two from the flagship, one each from Fuzhou and Taizhou, and one person from Wenzhou.  All in order, only the wounded." Ma Jishan sighed and said: "The preliminary investigation result is that the Tianbao probably hit a large ice floe last night."

    "Eighteen brothers were killed in one night, and the Spaniards didn't even kill so many of us." Lin Feng's eyes were red and he took a sip of wine.

    At sea, missing is regarded as death

    Although there may be a miracle of Robinson Crusoe, it is impossible to waste too much time looking for it and put the entire crew into a dangerous situation again.

    "Always choose the lesser of two evils," that's what captains are.

    "Sometimes when I think about it, we are so damn insignificant" Lin Feng put down her hand and asked Ma Jishan to go about her business.  Zhang Xiaojing sighed to Zhang Xiaojing who was beside her: "The reason why you can be arrogant is because God doesn't want to deal with you. If he really wants to deal with you, there is nothing you can do."

    As she spoke, she pulled out a literary line: "Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things like pigs and dogsis that what you say?"

    "It's a stupid dog" Zhang Xiaojing patted her shoulder gently and said: "That said, having a good captain can greatly increase our chances of surviving the power of heaven and earth. Thank you, captain."

    "Are you talking about me?" Lin Feng pointed at her straight nose.

    "Of course, please continue to lead us home." Zhang Xiaojing said with a smile.

    "Of course, no captain would abandon his crew midway." Lin Feng took a sip of wine, threw the bottle into the water, cheered up and said, "First we have to figure out where we are"

    As she spoke, she raised her head, and a vast white world of ice and snow appeared in front of her eyes, which dazzled her eyes.

    Zhang Xiaojing handed her a pair of sunglasses and smiled: "I think we are in Antarctica."

    "Holy shit, is that outrageous?" Lin Feng was stunned.  "Been blown away a thousand kilometers in less than two days?"

    "That's not the case." Zhang Xiaojing took out a hand-drawn map by Zhao Hao with reasonable accuracy and said: "We are now on the west side of the Antarctic Peninsula, which is also the northernmost point of Antarctica."

    "No wonder the wind and waves have become much smaller." Lin Feng suddenly said: "It turns out that there are mountains that raise the wind. Can you tell where it is now?"

    "We have passed Menanjiao and entered the Pacific Ocean." Zhang Xiaojing pointed to the obvious dividing line on the sea in the distance.

    The color of the sea water in the west is turbid and green, while the sea water in the east is obviously clearer and bluer.  A white foam in the middle divides the sea like a dividing line, making it appear distinct.

    This is the dividing line between the two oceans mentioned in "Nature Knowledge". It happens to be on the same meridian as the southernmost promontory of Tierra del Fuego.

    Because that cape is also the southernmost point of the entire South American continent, Lin Feng played a homophonic joke and named it Menan Cape.

    As for the vast strait between the Antarctic Peninsula and Cape Menan, it is worthy of being named after its founder - Linfeng Strait!

    Zhang Xiaojing told Lin Feng that the reason why such a dividing line appears is because the density of seawater in the two oceans is different.  The Atlantic Ocean has high evaporation and high salinity, so the color is dark.  The Pacific Ocean has abundant rainfall and the salt content of the sea water is light in color.  That's why looking from a distance, there is such a natural dividing line.

    "And the difference in water level between the two sides of the sea can reach half a meter. This is evidence of the rotation of the earth!" Xiao Zhuzi showed an expression of great admiration, and another great conclusion of her husband was confirmed.

    "Why?" Lin Feng smacked his lips.  Chatting with a big-breasted female scientist makes me feel heavy-headed and tired, and I feel low self-esteem.

    "Because the earth has always beenp; "Okay, then let's go north!" Lin Feng finally showed a smile, whipped the whip in his hand, pointed to the north and said:

    "Set off!"

    ??~~

    Although Lin Feng wanted to rob along the way, he was cautious and did not take action immediately.  Instead, they sailed north along the long coastline for more than a month without ever landing.

    Because there is a headwind going south, it will take at least a month and a half for the news to reach Hambrae Port after the action is taken

    It will be more than a month until the admiral leads his fleet north again. The time difference between here and outside is nearly three months, which is enough for him to commit the crime calmly and then escape.

    Actually, it¡¯s not wrong for her not to take action, because Chile has not yet discovered saltpeter mines and copper mines, and it is still very poor. They only have the skins and hair of grass mud horses. Maybe a few more shots will be fired and the robbery will lose money.  It¡¯s better to save your strength and release it in Peru.

    On April 20th of the fourth year of Wanli, Lin Feng led a privateering fleet into Peru, the core area of ??Spain in South America. Finally, he no longer restrained his men who had long been hungry and thirsty, and allowed them to rob!
