In the cockpit, Captain Chen sat upright, staring at the huge nautical chart in front of him with a frown.

The officers around him also had serious expressions, and the atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu stood aside.

She calmly observed the data marked on the nautical chart, and then looked at the various instrument display screens and sonar images in the cabin.

Finally, Zhou Shuwan gestured in a direction: "Go this way!"

Her spatial perception is limited, and it is impossible for her to confirm the navigation route at such a long distance.

But she could vaguely feel the correct direction and slowly correct it during the voyage!

The others looked at Captain Chen.

Captain Chen glanced at the calm Zhou Shuwan and asked her to come to help guide the direction.

Then, there is nothing to hesitate about!

Captain Chen immediately ordered a course adjustment: "Do as Xiao Zhou said!"

His voice was loud and powerful, echoing in the cockpit and quickly dispelling the previous solemn atmosphere.

The crew members immediately took action, various instruments made slight sounds, the mothership slowly started, and the huge hull began to draw ripples on the sea.

The roar of the engine was deafening, as if a giant beast was awakening.

Qi Mingyu felt the vibration of the mothership and the roar of the engine. He closed his eyes gently, as if he could feel the sound of the sea breeze and the waves of the sea.

After sailing for about half a day, Captain Chen stepped down from the command platform and walked to Zhou Shuwan's side. He said hesitantly, "Xiao Zhou, can you take another look at this heading? Is it correct?"

Zhou Shuwan did not answer directly, but walked to the control panel in the center of the cockpit, gently sliding her slender fingers across the sonar chart, and scanning the data displayed by various instruments.

She carefully observed the changes in the wind and waves displayed on the screen. After a few seconds, she spoke slowly, "The course is basically correct, but I recommend slightly adjusting the angle."

Captain Chen nodded and gave the order.

He glanced at Zhou Shuwan and was actually very curious about how she determined the correct direction.

Could it be that someone's sense of direction is so strong that they can determine the direction just by looking at the display screen and knowing the direction of the ocean current?

Of course, he didn't ask this question out loud.

Time flies by during the voyage.

I have to say that they have been very successful in these 20 days.

Both the sea and the sky were calm.

The thunderstorm that everyone was very worried about did not appear again!

It can be said that they had smooth sailing these days and the sailing speed was not slow. Only at night did the mother ship stop to rest and set off again in the morning.

No one said it, but everyone felt in their hearts that they were probably on the right track and would soon reach the island.

That day, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu were sitting quietly in a corner of the cockpit.

She suddenly stood up, first stood by the window and looked, then came to the instrument in the center of the cockpit, observed silently for a while, then turned to look at Captain Chen:

"Captain Chen, are we almost at the oil field? Should we go refuel?"

Captain Chen was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Are you sure? We're close to the oil fields now?"

Zhou Shuwan estimated and nodded: "I estimate it's only three or four days' sailing distance. But we need to change the route."

Changing the route is no longer a problem.

With enough fuel reserves, you can drive the mothership wherever you want!

What’s wrong with temporarily changing the route!

But the adjutant still asked with some concern: "Xiao Zhou, after this change of course, can you still identify the correct course?"

It's no wonder he was worried. The navy men on the mother ship had been to the oil field countless times, but now that they were almost there, they were all confused and couldn't see any signs of familiarity.

Zhou Shuwan is just an ordinary person who has not received any training. How could he determine the direction so quickly and efficiently?

Zhou Shuwan smiled and said, "Don't worry." She wasn't angry at the other party's slightly rude words.

These days, she has been quiet. She only roughly confirms the direction when she comes, or corrects the deviated route, and then sits in the corner with Qi Mingyu in silence.

Don’t disturb anyone!

Moreover, he has a humble and peaceful attitude, and does not feel complacent about himself as the navigator of the mothership.

Everyone in the cockpit, from officers to soldiers, had a good impression of her.

Captain Chen received a positive response and immediately ordered a change of route.

They had been sailing for more than twenty days and their fuel reserves had been greatly reduced. Since they were passing by an oil field, they naturally had to refill their fuel reserves.

The other navy officers seemed to be busy with their own affairs, but in fact they were secretly observing Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu.

Their eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion. They could not understand Zhou Shuwan's incredible sense of direction, who could determine the course simply by observing the sonar images and the waves.

This is simply amazing!

Perhaps, this slender and quiet woman was born with an absolute sense of direction?

A few days later, the mother ship got closer and closer to the oil field.

However, before they could see the entire oil field, a pungent burnt smell hit them in the face, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

This smell is the unique smell after the oil field is burning.

Captain Chen's face suddenly changed, and he immediately ordered the activation of night vision goggles to carefully observe the surrounding environment.

"Captain, look over there!" The adjutant pointed at the night sky, his tone hurried and anxious.

Everyone looked in the direction the adjutant pointed, and saw a dark sky with thick smoke billowing out, like a huge black cloud covering the sky and the sun.

The thick smoke was like the scene when an underwater volcano erupted, magma rolled, and smoke covered the entire sea surface.

Everyone's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to their mind.

The situation they were most worried about finally happened!

Something happened in the oil field!

Captain Chen's face turned ashen.

He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, but no sound came out.

The entire cockpit fell into deathly silence, with only the whistling sound of the sea breeze and the low roar of the mothership's engine echoing.

"Keep going! Be careful to avoid the smoke and don't get the mothership involved!"

Captain Chen gave the order in a stammering voice.

No matter what happened in the direction of the oil field, they always had to go and take a look.

The smoke grew thicker and thicker, like a huge black monster with its bloody mouth wide open, swallowing everything around it.

The pungent burnt smell became stronger and stronger, even a little choking, making people want to cover their noses.

Zhou Shuwan slightly adjusted the course of the mothership, trying to avoid the thick smoke.

Qi Mingyu noticed her movement and held her hand on the armrest tightly, tightening the grip of his fingertips slightly.

Zhou Shuwan held his hand in return, feeling at peace.

But in the cockpit, the atmosphere was actually terribly solemn. Everyone held their breath and dared not make a sound.

The smoke was getting closer and closer, and the mother ship had to change its course to bypass the huge black cloud.

Finally, the mothership slowly docked in a relatively safe area on the edge of the oil field.
