Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 141
With a low and melodious siren sound, the fishing boat slowly left the pier and sailed eastward along a narrow waterway towards the Atlantic Ocean. Behind Liang En and the others was St. John's, which was gradually receding. .

There are no tall buildings in this city, only some small buildings with no more than four floors. The facades of the small buildings are colorful, and they look as if they have just been painted by a group of children.

According to the taxi driver on the way from the airport to the pier, the buildings in this city are deliberately painted in bright colors, so that fishermen who go out to sea can see their hometown from a distance when they go home. Location.

Inside the busy bridge, Captain Lubzon Jr. raised the walkie-talkie and passed instructions one by one to every position on the ship.From the smooth running of the whole ship, it can be seen that the crew members on board are indeed veterans.

After seeing Liang En and Fan Meng enter the bridge along the stairs, Captain Lubzon Jr. greeted them warmly, and then handed each of them a telescope.

"Is it convenient for a ship to go to the six locations I gave you just now?" Liang En asked after raising his binoculars to glance at the Cape Spear Lighthouse, which is known as the easternmost point in North America, not far from the mouth of the sea.

These six locations were circled by Liang En based on the impressions in his mind and a series of information collected, and they were considered the most likely locations after combining ocean currents and the surrounding environment.

"Don't worry, it's not too difficult to get close to the destination from these locations. Except for one location on the west coast of the island, which is troublesome because of the undercurrent, the other five locations are relatively easy to go."

Little Lubzon looked at the chart and explained to Liang En.

"Since all our targets are on this island, we can go around the island counterclockwise after going out to sea, and we can just visit all these six suspicious locations."

After more than an hour at sea, they arrived at the first target, an outlying island not far from the departure point, and then accompanied by a sailor, they arrived on the island in a pre-prepared inflatable rubber boat.

But after a simple search, Liang En returned in the inflatable rubber boat.Because he discovered that the island didn't have any fresh water, so it was obviously not suitable for a colony.

"Don't be discouraged." Fan Meng comforted Liang En on the way back. "After all, this place is so remote that we simply can't collect enough information. Sometimes we can only determine the specific situation in this area by taking a trip."

"Don't worry, I won't be hit so easily." Liang En shook his head with a smile, and then said, "It's just that I was thinking about how many problems were missed in the information we collected before."

"After all, there were too few clues we could find when we were preparing to set off, so there will definitely be a lot of problems when judging. It's just that I never thought that such a low-level mistake would be made before."

After returning to the ship, the entire ship began to continue north.Because the crew on the ship were all veterans, and the next trip was mainly on the waterway, little Lubzon happened to be free to chat with Liang En and the others.

"I'm a little curious why you chose to search in such a northern place." Little Lubson asked an inner doubt.

"Did other people search for this ancient Viking colony called Vinland before?" Liang En showed a puzzled expression after hearing what Little Lubzon said.

"Of course there is. After all, those epics have been there since they were carved on ancient stones. So naturally many people come to find this place."

"Some of them are scholars in this field or businessmen who came here after hearing the news, while others seem a little mysterious, but from the brooches on their chests, it seems likely that they are Freemasons."

"Masonics? Why are they again!" Liang En frowned subconsciously, because he remembered that the group of guys who destroyed his sun hole last time were members of the Freemasons.

"This is normal, because many Freemasons are mystics, so they will also look for a series of things related to legends, such as those legendary places in epic records." Little Lubson said yes There is an understanding of this sort of thing.

"For example, some Freemasons in Europe have been looking for places like Atlantis, Troy and even Avalon, and believe that they can obtain supernatural powers by looking for such legendary places."

Having said that, Little Lubzon showed a nonchalant smile on his face.

"The Freemasonry in many places was established to find those legendary existences. But except for a few historical sites, I have never heard of any guy finding anything related to supernatural power."

Liang En nodded in agreement. Although he has mastered the power in this area, he also knows that these things do not exist in this world.

But just think about the fact that millions of people in the United States alone believe that the earth is flat rather than a sphere, and you can see why so many people pursue these illusory and completely unscientific legends.

"Actually, the ship we're on was once chartered to find the Viking North American colony we were looking for this time, but in the end we found nothing."

"May I ask where those people were searching?" Liang En suddenly became excited when he heard that the little Lubson said that this ship had led another expedition team to explore with the same goal. and asked.

"The other party went to Massachusetts in the United States, because the group of New York Freemasons thought that the epic specifically recorded that grapes were grown locally, and at the same time, they used a lot of pen and ink to introduce how they used these grapes to make wine."

"In the Americas, the coast of Massachusetts is the northern line of grape growing, so those searchers will basically choose Massachusetts as their search location."

"That's why I was surprised to hear that you planned to search for these things in Newfoundland, because this place is too north to grow grapes even in that warmer age."

"What you said makes sense, but I have a special idea in this place." Liang En took out his phone and found a picture, and then said.

"As far as I know, the ancient Vikings' classification of many species is not consistent with today's. For example, for the Vikings, almost all berries that can be used for winemaking can be called grapes."

"In the process of searching for information, I found that Newfoundland is rich in all kinds of berries. Some of them, like cranberries, can barely be used for wine making, but because of the lack of sugar, the quality of the brewed wine will be very low. Poor quality."

"In this way, it just corresponds to the fact that after the second batch of colonists arrived in the epic, they found that the quality of the local grapes was very poor, and the wine produced not only had poor taste, but also had a very low alcohol content."

"It's true what you said." Little Lubzon nodded and said, "So, in this place where no one has ever thought of searching before, I think we may really be able to find the place we want. "

Unlike the old Lubson, the young Lubson was obviously not very optimistic about this scientific expedition at the beginning.However, after Liang En's analysis, he admitted that Liang En did have a chance of finding the ruins.
