Increasing the money was not a problem. Yu Tian’s current problem was how to disappear from this area of the sea without anyone noticing.
Although the sea was vast, finding a submarine in the sea was not much easier than finding a needle in the sea.
However, the various countries would come at any time. Yu Tian and the others would eventually be discovered.
Yu Tian did not want to be exposed to these countries, even if it was the eastern countries.
Right now, he could only hope that Ivan could run faster and be further away from Demon Island.
If he could use money to solve the problem, that would be the best outcome.
Yu Tian calmly asked, “Increasing the money is not a problem. How much do you want?”
Ivan stretched out a palm. “At least… 200 million!”
Yu Tian looked at the five fingers on his palm and smiled.
“I admire your direct style. 200 million is not a problem. However, you have to send us safely to shore first. After all, I don’t even have any usable communication equipment on hand.”
As he spoke, Yu Tian gently shook the tablet with a pitch-black screen in his hand.
Ivan grinned, revealing a mouth full of big black and yellow tobacco teeth.
He knew that there was no way to complete the transaction at the moment, but Donglong company was very wealthy and had always been very reliable in paying the remuneration.
Since Yu Tian had already agreed to the 200 million remuneration, Ivan did not have to worry that he would renege on his promise. He only needed to do his job properly and bring Yu Tian back safely.
“Surface! Surface! Ava, Where’s the work I asked you to do? Hurry up and bring me the nautical chart! ”
Ivan immediately began to shout, driving the crew into chaos.
Ava took a long time before he finally found the nautical chart Ivan wanted.
It was a paper nautical chart.
In this era, a paper nautical chart was already considered a very rare item. In a few more years, it would probably be sent to a museum as an antique.
Ivan had kept this nautical chart for his own collection. Perhaps it was just in case he needed it, but he had never thought that he would need it.
The crew also came over curiously, wanting to see how Ivan used this nautical chart to determine his direction.
Without GPS and other satellite positioning, it would be a little troublesome to determine his position in the sea.
“So, it’s time to use those traditional technologies.”
Ivan composed himself and waved his hand. “Float up. I want to go to the sea and observe the sky at night!”
Soon, the old submarine bubbled and floated up from the sea.
After pushing open the cabin door, Ivan took the lead to get out of the submarine and brought Ava onto the wet and narrow deck.
Yu Tian followed curiously and took a few breaths of the cool air on the surface of the sea.
Ivan stood on the deck for a few seconds and realized that he had miscalculated.
The sky was completely dark. He could not see the Moon or stars at all.
Even if he had the ability to observe the sky at night, he needed to see the constellations in the sky to figure out his position.
The Ancients did not have satellite navigation. They could also use the sextant to observe and locate, but this method of observation could not be done at night. The accuracy of the observation also depended on one’s technical proficiency.
Ivan now felt a little helpless.
Yu Tian came over and patted Ivan’s shoulder. “How is it? You’ve been staring at the sky for so long. Have you seen anything yet?”
Ivan coughed lightly. “According to my observation, this sea area… will soon be hit by a storm. ”
This prediction did not seem to be wrong. Yu Tian could already feel the cold sea breeze coming from the front. It was a little more intense than before. He said helplessly, “In other words, you still can’t determine the location and
Ivan spread his hands and said, “In this situation, there’s really no way to determine the route. We can only wait until dawn and the rain stops tomorrow.
“However, it’s also a good thing that there’s a storm. At least we can move at full speed on the surface of the water and not have to worry about being discovered by others. ”
Yu Tian shrugged. “That sounds pretty good. ”
Ivan grinned and said, “It’s indeed pretty good. We’re not the only ones affected by the storm weather. At least, in this kind of weather, it’s impossible for planes to come and scout. As for the fleets of those big countries, if they want to rush to the vicinity of Demon Island… Well, they definitely won’t be able to make it tonight. ”
“In that case, we can swagger out of here.”
“Yes, we can move forward at full speed. Although we don’t have a positioning system, if we maintain the correct direction, we shouldn’t go too far off course. ”
“Then let’s seize the time and leave this area first. ”
There were pros and cons to everything. For Yu Tian now, the storm was the best cover for them to hide their tracks.
In just a few words, the storm rushed over impatiently.
A bolt of lightning pulled open the prelude of the storm. The originally dark and gloomy sky became even darker and oppressive. The strong wind blew so hard that people couldn’t even open their eyes.
Yu Tian did not even have time to return to the cabin when a few spittle raindrops fell on his face. It was like the prelude to being spurned by tens of thousands of people.
“Ha, hurry up! Let’s go back to the cabin!”
Ivan shouted excitedly.
It was much more comfortable to hide in a submarine to welcome the storm than on a ship. There was not even a need to prepare for the storm.
Back in the great maritime era, those wooden sailing ships were toyed with like toys by the storm. Every storm was a disaster.
The sailors had to lower the sails, hold the rudder, and fix themselves and the odds and ends. They were washed on the deck by the storm for an entire night. They were exhausted and looked like they were going to die.
In comparison, the people hiding in the submarine were much more comfortable.
Although it was a little shaky, it was better than being exposed to the wind and rain on the deck.
“My ancestors all lived at sea. One of them was a captain, but he fell into the sea during a storm and never appeared again. ”
“So when I saw the submarine, I fell in love with this thing hiding under the water. At least when the storm came, we could hide under the water quietly. ”
“Of course, if we want to move at full speed, we still have to move on the surface. ”
“But sitting in a submarine is much more comfortable than sitting in those ships on the surface.”
“Now we only need to have a happy supper.”
Ivan waved his hand. “Boys, the dinner has begun.. Bring out our big lie BA and Vodka to entertain our big boss!”
