Overlord: Rise of the Zerg

Chapter 80 Searching

Through the direction that this sea transporter explored before, a large range can be determined, and Zero can be sure that this tsunami is almost the same as the last time, coming from due south to due north.

By estimating the departure time of this sea transporter and the time after encountering the tsunami, and roughly estimating the speed of the tsunami's movement, we can vaguely calculate the approximate position of these islands.

Of course, this is just an idea of ​​​​Zero, and it is not certain whether he can be found. However, according to this idea, it should be able to greatly reduce the search range of the ant colony.

Therefore, while repairing the facilities on the island, Zero also sent a large number of joint exploration teams to the northwest of the island.

Before the tsunami, the surviving sea transporter was a member of the joint exploration team carrying food and air explorers. They initially followed Zero's instructions to explore due west.

The tsunami waves move from south to north, so there is a high probability that the location of the island where the lucky guy is located is northwest of the island where the main body of the ant colony is located.

In addition, Zero roughly estimated the time it would take for the tsunami on his side to completely pass and the time it would take for the survivor to be discovered, and he roughly calculated a six-minute time difference.

At a rough estimate, the speed of the tsunami may be more than 500 kilometers, or it may be even larger. But to be conservative, let’s calculate the search based on 500 kilometers.

So, based on this estimated data, within these six minutes, the survivor should have been carried by the waves and moved more than fifty kilometers north from its original position!

Its original location was approximately ten to twelve kilometers west of the island.

Calculated in this way, if the speed of the tsunami is calculated at 79 kilometers per hour, its current location should be about 80 to 51 degrees north-west of the island, a distance of about kilometers and above.

Of course, this is just the result of Zero's simple calculation. Judging from the actual situation, the ants cannot grasp such precise angles and distances. Moreover, once they leave the island, there is no reference object, so this direction can only rely on a rough estimate. guess.

Therefore, although they have a relatively precise location, the ants do not have the ability to accurately find this location. They can only use the old method of casting a wide net and scattering dozens of joint exploration teams in this direction. , search here with all your strength.

The distance of more than fifty kilometers is only a straight line distance. In fact, it is impossible for the ants to move in a straight line in the sea. The surge of the waves plus the deviation of the direction will make it difficult to move such a distance without a reference object. The distance is so long, we don’t know how many wrong paths we have to take, and this deviation cannot be corrected at all.

Therefore, when these exploration teams were sent out, Zero didn't know how long or how far they would have to go to reach the planned area. But even if they only walked a straight line, it would not be possible for these ants to walk in the sea in a day. Therefore, they are destined to spend more than one night at sea, and while night is dangerous, it is also the easiest time for them to lose their way.

He has been prepared to let this exploration team continue to search until they find it or die if it cannot be found. This was a price that had to be paid. From the moment he released the exploration team, he never thought that they would come back.

Behind this group of exploration teams, Zero sent a large number of the same teams, and the mission of these teams was not to continue exploring.

Their goal is to continuously move in that direction to help Zero explore and record various underwater features in order to draw a simple ant navigation chart and move the reference points available to the ant colony forward.

Of course, this is a delicate job and cannot be completed quickly. Therefore, their advancement speed was very slow, and they were soon left far behind by the exploration team in front.

This is actually Zero's two-pronged preparation. On the one hand, he continues to send a large number of exploration teams to search. If they can find it, it will be better.

On the other hand, if they are still not found, then Zero can gradually push forward the reference points of exploration through this bit by bit survey. On the one hand, it is to provide the former with a more accurate direction as much as possible. On the other hand, if this island group can be found, these ant colonies that survey and draw the ant navigation chart can also provide a relatively safe and stable route for subsequent ant colonies.

To put it bluntly, no matter how bad things go, the early exploration team will never find this location, and the island will never run away, it will always be there.

In this case, this group of teams advancing bit by bit in this direction will one day be able to accurately reach the position calculated by Zero.

If not, Zero will correct the tsunami's speed so that they can continue to explore far away.

Although this is very slow, as long as the general direction is correct, you will be able to find it one day!

The first exploration teams continued to sail in the sea, and soon they had exceeded the farthest reference point of zero mapping.

This means that there is nothing that can accurately provide them with a more precise heading. They can only move in a general direction.

After a period of time, because it was uncertain whether the current collective heading was correct, under Zero's order, the exploration team that was originally a group separated into exploration teams, searching in slightly different directions at the same time. .

Afterwards, the teams lost sight of each other, and each exploration team could only move forward alone.

Sailing alone in the ocean is undoubtedly lonely. The feeling that there are endless waves everywhere, and only the small boat you are in is floating in the waves, makes people unable to help but feel the deep loneliness.

However, the ants do not share this sentiment.

In fact, they don't even have any emotions. Without Zero's instructions, all their actions are based on instinct. Therefore, they cannot understand this kind of loneliness.

The voyage continues, and we don’t know how long it will last.

The food on the backs of the supply transporters in the team gradually dwindled, and aerial explorers continued to fly out to explore and never came back.

The number of ants in the team became less and less as they continued to sail, and several teams even suddenly lost their traces in the sea.

It was eaten by predators in the sea.

Exploring along the way, we suffered heavy losses along the way.

But there are always exploration teams coming from behind, and there are always more or less ants on the way to explore.

There is no fear, no loneliness, they don’t even know why, they just continue on the seemingly endless sea voyage until the end of their lives...

Today I wrote six thousand and updated ten thousand.

Although my writing was not very good, no one criticized me. I can be called a model reader. In order to save up some manuscripts, I’m really not doing the best job on KuaKou.com. If I don’t push it up tomorrow, I’ll continue to update it five times and try to put it on the shelves on May 1st.

That’s all for tonight. I’ll try my best to write some more and make up for the shortfall in saving manuscripts. See you there at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.

Good night brother (sister?) cute! ! !

(I will probably be online for a while tonight, if you need anything, just call me,,, just don’t scold me,,)
