Chapter Thirty-Eight: Being Alive, Better Than Anything Else!
When Zhuang Haiyang successfully rescued the crew in distress, the maritime departments of Haichen Town and Nanzhou Island were extremely busy. Receiving Zhou Yang's distress signal, the maritime department also attached great importance to discussing rescue methods.
The closest rescue vessel to the fishing vessel in distress is undoubtedly the rescue vessel deployed in Haichen Town. Just as the rescue ship was about to depart, the meteorological department gave a dismal news, and heavy rain began to fall at sea.
In addition to this, the strength of the waves is also increasing. Unless a 10,000-ton rescue ship is dispatched, the rescue ship deployed in Haichen Town will not be able to reach the area where the accident occurred, and the rescue ship and rescue team members may be in danger.
Upon hearing the news, the person in charge of maritime rescue said angrily: "What is the fishery administration department in Haichen Town doing to eat? How can the fishing boats be released from the port just after the typhoon has passed?"
In the face of the roar of the person in charge, although some staff members wanted to explain, no one dared to touch the anger. Everyone knows that there were sixteen crew members on that ship. Once the rescue cannot be made in time, the outcome of waiting for these crew members in distress can be imagined.
At this moment, the staff responsible for monitoring the positioning of the ship in distress quickly said: "Leader, there is an emergency, maybe those crew members have been rescued." In the vicinity of the fishing vessel in distress, a satellite positioning signal appeared. ”
"What?
"It's confirmed! It's just that the signal is not very strong, and it should have something to do with the situation at sea. Look, the signal is coming again!"
"Check! Immediately check the information of the shipowner of this positioning signal, and contact the other party as soon as possible. ”
"Yes, leader!"
What made the members of the rescue team depressed was that when they found out that the fishing boat with the positioning system was Zhuang Haiyang's fishing boat, they found that no one answered the phone at all. But the registration information still makes the rescue team full of expectations.
Spreading out the map of the maritime island, one of the staff members said: "Leader, according to the information registered by the other party's fishing boat, this is a self-use fishing boat, with a length of 12 meters, and it has been reinforced and refitted, and its ability to resist wind and waves is comparable to that of a medium-sized fishing boat."
The most important thing is that the other party's fishing boats usually dock at Nanshan Island, and the owners of the boats are also residents of Nanshan Island. From Nanshan Island to the fishing boat in distress, it is only less than ten nautical miles, and if the speed is fast, it can be reached in half an hour.
Previously, the other party's fishing boat arrived at the area where the accident occurred, and it must have been known that there was an accident with the fishing boat. Although I don't know, whether we can successfully rescue the crew in distress, there is at least one hope. Moreover, the owner of the ship served for two years in a certain department of the Navy. ”
After listening to the introduction of the staff, the person in charge could only say: "Can't you contact the owner of the ship?"
"Yes, leader! The other party's mobile phone can get through, but no one answers. ”
"Keep watching! If there is a situation, report it immediately. ”
"Yes, leader!"
It didn't take long for the staff in charge of monitoring the satellite positioning of the fishing boat to quickly say: "Leader, the signal of the fishing boat has appeared!"
Looking at the two signals that are not far apart, they are constantly widening the distance. The signal of a fishing vessel in distress, moving very slowly. The fishing boat, which may have been tasked with the rescue mission, seems to be rapidly distancing itself from the fishing vessel in distress.
Faced with this situation, all rescue team members know that there are two possibilities. One is that Zhuang Haiyang successfully rescued the crew of the fishing boat in distress. There is also a possibility that Zhuang Haiyang is unable to rescue and can only return helplessly.
Zhuang Haiyang, who didn't know this, saw the wharf of his own fishing boat where the wind and waves had weakened a lot, and he also breathed a sigh of relief: "Now we are really safe! Masters, I'm afraid we will have to stay at my house for one night." ”
"Thank you! Brother Zhuang, thank you very much! If you hadn't arrived in time tonight, we would have really finished. ”
If I hadn't seen smoke coming out of the sea, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known what had happened to your fishing boat. Get off the boat first, wait at my house, drink some wine to suppress the shock, and then report safety to the family by the way. ”
"Yes! Yes!"
Walking down from the fishing boat one after another, the people who were soaked all over were a little cold when they were blown by the sea breeze. After fixing the fishing boat, Zhuang Haiyang directly led everyone to his old house. Sitting in the living room, everyone was completely relieved.
At this moment, Zhuang Haiyang quickly heard the mobile phone that he had thrown at home and did not bring with him rang. Seeing the caller number, which seemed to be an unfamiliar landline, I thought about answering the channel: "Hello, that one?"
"Hello! You finally answered the phone, I am the Nanzhou Maritime Rescue Team, are you the owner of the Nan XX fishing boat, Zhuang Haiyang?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"Earlier, we saw your fishing boat appear near the South XXX distress ship and wanted to ask about the specific situation. ”
"Ahh Wait a minute, I'll let the captain of the ship in distress talk to you. I was in a hurry and didn't bring my phone, sorry!"
"It's okay! It's okay! Sixteen crew members can't be saved?"
"Yes! All but one crew member was slightly injured. I'll let Captain Zhou report to you!"
After handing the phone to Zhou Yang, Zhuang Haiyang didn't say much. Zhuang Haiyang could be heard saying that all the crew members in distress were successfully rescued, and the leaders and staff of the Maritime Rescue Center all breathed a long sigh of relief.
As long as the person is okay, everything else is easy to deal with. In the event that sixteen crew members are involved in the shipwreck, then the relevant departments will be dealt with. When Zhou Yang took over the mobile phone, he was also seriously criticized by the maritime rescue department.
The reason is very simple, if he hadn't been in a hurry to go to sea, he wouldn't have done such a thing. Zhou Yang, who regretted it for a long time, is now very glad that the crew members brought on board survived. Otherwise, he would never have thought of turning over in his life.
At this time, Zhuang Haiyang, seeing the rescued crew members who were soaking wet, also hurriedly found some bath towels and towels and said: "There are baths upstairs and downstairs, you go to take a hot bath first, and then I will find you some blankets to put on."
Fortunately, the weather temperature was fine, and I looked to see if there were any suitable clothes to wear. I'll make some ginger soup for you later, I'm afraid I'll have to eat dinner later. If you want to make a call, just call on my phone later!"
"Brother Zhuang, I'm really bothering you!"
"What's the trouble with this! People are better than anything else! You wait first, I'll prepare bath towels and towels for you!"
couldn't find so many clothes for everyone to wear, so Zhuang Haiyang could only find a blanket and bath towel for them to put on first. Fortunately, they are all men, and there is nothing to shy away from. If you continue to wear wet clothes, you may catch a cold and fever!
Fortunately, Zhuang Haiyang has prepared a lot of blankets and bath towels at home, which were originally prepared for tourists who land on the island. What made everyone even happier was that Zhuang Haiyang found a lot of unopened pants to avoid the embarrassment of everyone hanging up.
Some crew members even said curiously: "Brother Zhuang, why do you have so many pants of different sizes?"
"These are for tourists! On my side, tourists come to play from time to time. I was afraid that they wouldn't have enough pants to tie up, so I prepared more. Now it seems that this thing is more prepared, and it is really prepared!"
After taking a shower and changing into new pants, and then draping on a bath towel or blanket, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. When Zhuang Haiyang boiled a pot of ginger soup, everyone thanked them again and began to take a bowl of ginger soup and drink it.
Just when Zhou Yang led his nephew Zhou Hongjie to thank him, Zhuang Haiyang smiled and said, "Master Zhou, you are too polite. If I'm not mistaken, you and your nephew, your hometown should be Zhoujiawa, right?"
"Yes, how does the little brother know?"
"Zhou Hongjie, did you have a nickname called Zhou Snot when you used to study?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Hongjie's face flushed and said, "Ahhh
"I'm Zhuang Haiyang, in the first class of high school! If I'm not mistaken, you were in the fourth class at the time, right? Speaking of which, we were still old classmates in the same class! I just didn't expect to meet under such circumstances. ”
Although Haichen Town has a large permanent population, there is only one middle school in the town. Among peers, there is a high probability of classmates. It was precisely when he saw that Zhou Hongjie was about the same age as himself that Zhuang Haiyang remembered that he and he were still classmates back then!
