The sinking is just the beginning.

The bulk cargo warehouse of the Fudong Rushan is loaded with 70,000 tons of concrete semi-finished products.

As for why 70,000 tons of concrete were fully dry mixed on board and mixed with a uniform seawater corrosion-resistant fast-setting powder, no one knows why.

The Immovable Mountain plunged into the harbor.

The concrete edges of the harbor quickly cracked, and one of the harbor cranes that towered over the shore was brought down by a huge tremor. The crane was closest to the bow of the Immovable Mountain, and when it fell, it hit the one next to it.

The entire capital of the ship was flattened, and after the impact, the thrusters continued to work for several minutes before they stopped in a thick cloud of black smoke.

It is the power output of these few minutes that makes the immovable Rushan, from the original vertical, to flush with the port, and impartially occupies all the two ships.

The sea water rushed into the hold, and the dark brown concrete semi-finished products also flowed out of the broken places like caulks when they met the seawater, and quickly expanded into a semi-solid state.

Two minutes later, the people working at the port came in a hurry.

These men stood on the shore of the harbor, their limbs trembling, and their faces looked like mournful.

Two of their baby-like port engines collapsed, and this loss caused them great pain. You must know that there are only four cranes in Port Pierce, and it is these four cranes that are responsible for 60% of the import and export materials of Rigavia.

The main boom and fuselage of the two collapsed cranes have been severely deformed.

Not to mention that Rigavia does not have the technical ability to correct and repair, even if the crane manufacturer comes, most of them will shake their heads and persuade them to buy new products.

"Damn, damn it. The liaison officer at the lookout crouched by the harbor and shouted, "One port crane is millions of dollars, and now two have fallen, what will we do with our barley exports in April?"

"Which company's ship is this?" another port worker yelled heartbreakingly, "let them pay for it, pay it in full." ”

"Not only to pay for the cranes, but also to repair the port. ”

His voice echoed weakly at the edge of the harbor.

"Gollum~"

A huge bubble rose in the water below, in response to his accusation.

In their eyes, the deck of the giant ship had sunk to the level of the port. Below the waterline, there are violently churning bubbles. and accompanied by strong smudges and odors.

"Damn, what's on this ship?"

"Tugboat, hurry up and tow it away from here. If we let it sink, we're in big trouble. ”

"Gollum~"

"Gollum~Gollum~"

By the time the six tugboats approached in circles, the giant ship had mostly sunk to the surface.

The hull height of a giant ship is usually 20 to 30 meters, and the hull height of the immovable mountain is 27 meters. The depth of the waters of Port Pierce is about thirty meters.

By the time the people on the six tugboats tried to hang the cable on the hull, the mountain had completely sunk into the water and sat on the seabed. When the searchlight hit the water, all you could see was a thick gray cloud.

It's cold, it's completely cold.

The salvage of 10,000-ton giant ships has always been a problem in the world.

These people who work in the port are very clear about the doorway. Two years ago, a 30,000-ton cargo ship sank in the main channel of the Strait of Dover, and it took several European countries a full 18 months to cut the ship into eight sections and salvage it in batches.

The salvage cost is close to $100 million.

Even South Korea, which has the second most developed shipbuilding industry in the world, cannot do anything to salvage their cruise ship that sank in the past four years as a whole.

That cruise ship was just over 10,000 tons.

Now an even larger ship that can carry 70,000 tons of cargo is lying on the side of their harbor, completely sealing the berth.

How many pieces will they have to cut the ship into, how much money will it cost, how much time will it take to salvage it?

No, this money should not be paid by them.

According to port records, the sunken freighter in front of him belonged to the Spanish Philippis Shipping Group. The goods before entering the port are reported for construction sand and gravel.

It's a bit like something muddy in the sea, but it doesn't matter, it's important that the Philippis Maritime Group, a very large shipping group in Spain, is more than capable of paying for everything here.

Thinking of this, the port staff immediately shouted to report the situation and contacted the outside world.

Rigavia is a small country, and now something earth-shattering has happened, and of course the situation must be reported directly to the parliament and to the office of the president. In addition, if the Philippis Shipping Group wants compensation, the president must first negotiate.

……

When the news reached the Parliament Building, the entire building almost blew up the staff.

Mr. President, who was immersed in a sweet dream with the United States, was woken up by the secretary from the bed. When he heard the news, he didn't even bother to wash his face, so he rushed to the port by helicopter.

The helicopter landed next to the two collapsed cranes, and Mr. President almost burst into tears as he witnessed the apocalyptic devastation of Pierce Harbour being struck by a meteor.

It's over, it's all over.

In another half a month, the barley harvest will begin across the country. At that time, 90% of the country's barley will be transported here for loading.

How is this good, how is it good?

The murky waters, and the pungent smell, made Mr. President sober up quickly.

He asked the staff with red eyes, what was loaded on the sunken freighter?

The radio liaison officer only promised: "Root... According to the report before entering the port, the ship should have been loaded with construction sand and gravel. But after we took the sample, we found that the cabin should be filled with concrete......"

Hearing this, Mr. President almost collapsed on the ground with his legs limp.

"Concrete will ...... Will it freeze in the sea?"

The person in charge of the port quickly explained: "We have urgently consulted the French construction company that built the port in the first place, and they said that the concrete will not solidify in a short time after encountering seawater. This is because seawater will continue to soak the concrete, so that the concrete will always be wet. ”

"It takes about seven to 10 days for concrete like this, which is sealed in the cabin, to gradually become solid. ”

"But Mr. President, things are not as bad as you feared. ”

"The French construction company told us that ordinary concrete soaked in seawater will be constantly corroded by seawater. In about two to three years, the concrete will turn into cinder. ”

"When our port was first built, corrosion-resistant cementitious materials were added to the concrete, so that there would be no seawater corrosion. ”

The person in charge knew that he was inescapable of being held accountable for such a thing, so before the arrival of Mr. President, he called and begged the French construction companies to ask them to give them a remedy.

"Mr. President, the French side said it. ”

"It takes 10 days for the concrete to set at the latest. We only need to rush this time to use high-pressure water pumps to constantly wash the concrete in the cabin, and then deploy a pump truck on the shore to pump the concrete fluid out of the cabin, and then we can resolve this crisis. ”

Mr. President's pale face changed slightly, "How to salvage the wreck?"

"The person in charge of this ...... is hesitant, "the fastest, it may take a year." ”

Mr. President was about to be furious, when a man in a hermetically sealed diving suit suddenly appeared on the murky sea not far away, and after grabbing the boat, he took off his diving helmet and shouted towards the harbor with a desperate face.

"Oh, no. ”

"I don't know what's in the concrete in this cargo ship. As soon as they come into contact with the sea, they quickly solidify. ”

"Not only did the concrete in the cabin solidify quickly, but the concrete that leaked out of the breakage was also bonded to the bottom of the port. ”

When the person in charge of the port heard the news, his legs almost weakened.

His back, wet with sweat at this moment, did not dare to look at the gaze of Mr. President.

He was organizing his speech in his heart, but he heard the panicked voices of many people behind him.

"Mr. President, you... What's wrong with you?"

"Mr. ~ Mr. ~"

Suddenly, he turned his head and saw that Mr. President had already taken the first step, slumped on the cold ground.

"It's over...... It's over......"

"What should I do, the barley of the whole country will be transported by this port. Without the port, what will happen to our barley, and what will happen to the rest of the supplies......"

Mr. President sat on the ground and muttered to himself.

The person next to him helped Mr. President up with all his hands and feet.

Someone comforted him and told him not to be too sad, no one could have expected this kind of thing to happen. The culprit of all this is the sinking ship.

Wheel?

Mr. President suddenly shouted angrily: "What about the crew of this huge ship?"

"Run...... Ran. ”

Spain's Philippis Shipping Group also did not admit it. ”
