Chapter 584: Unusual Weather

The waves above are getting bigger and bigger, and the sky is getting brighter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But the sun was blocked by dark clouds, and the sky beneath the clouds became unusually gray.

The waves are five to six meters high, and when they hit the bow of the boat, there is always a thud and countless splashes fly into the sky.

However, at a depth of 1,000 meters, there is a silence like a cosmic starry sky.

There is no light, no undulating waves, only darkness.

The lord ship has reached its maximum diving depth, and if it continues to dive, its hull will be damaged.

At the tail of the cargo compartment, there are twelve wires slightly thicker than straws, extending into the deeper and darker ocean floor below.

Twelve Squid deep-sea probes formed a straight horizontal line, and the radar swept across the seabed at a speed of 15 knots.

They come with an electrically driven propeller propulsion system, which comes from the cables on the lord ships and provides them with a constant source of power. In the circular equipment compartment in the middle, the equipment used to identify the composition of materials on the seabed is constantly emitting circles of electromagnetic waves that are invisible to the naked eye.

The warehouse was temporarily converted into a control room, where two electronic emissaries sat in front of the computer, closely monitoring the data uploaded back by the Squid.

The key words of the alarm are magnesium alloys and nickel-based alloys on fighter planes, and depleted uranium alloys on the shells of nuclear bombs.

It is impossible for these alloys to be born in nature, and the twelve Squid cover a search strip two kilometers wide and twenty kilometers long. If it weren't for the cable length limitations, the search range could have been much longer.

"Didi~"

"Detector Six detected the presence of magnesium alloy directly underneath. ”

The emissary was indifferent to this hint, as the vague outline of the object sensed by the magnetic sensing element showed that it was only a small fragment of alloy. It could be the wreckage of a ship, or it could be a discarded part, and only when several conditions are all matched, or when a relatively complete outline of the object appears, the computer will sound a terrible alarm.

In addition to these, the emissaries were able to analyze the vague outlines of the ocean floor based on the data that was completely dazzling.

At the bottom of the deep sea below, there is a slide-like ramp that gets deeper the further you go. Strangely shaped hills appear on the ocean floor, and the Squid occasionally detects large amounts of carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, and more.

It's a small volcano erupting under the sea, and anything can happen at the bottom of the mysterious sea.

In the cockpit, Ye Qing turned on the cruise mode and turned on all the searchlights of the lord battleship.

The Americans did not figure out the crash site at the beginning, and after several decades, it will only become more ambiguous, and the data only gives the extent of this sea area. Ye Qing decided to pull the net and pull it over a radius of hundreds of kilometers. As long as the nuclear bomb is here, it will not escape his palm.

A huge crimson squid flashed through the porthole. Perhaps stinging by the light, it immediately spewed a thick stream of black ink at the lord ship.

Ye Qing was taken aback, this kind of creature that came out of the cold almost made Ye Qing think that he had seen a ghost.

…………

The search has been going on for three hours, and the deep sea is quiet. However, on the sea above, there were already stormy waves and heavy rain.

The weather data from Inmarsat clearly underestimated the intensity of the storm.

According to the real-time data transmitted by the meteorological monitoring station established on Tanegashima, the wind speed in this area has reached level 9 at this time, and the huge waves set off are dozens of meters high. If it happened on land, a force 9 wind could already uproot some large trees with weak roots.

There was a panic in the maritime public radio channel.

"This is the Serena, this is the Serena. Dispatch center, immediately give me the location of the nearest sheltered port, we have a displacement of 100,000 tons, please find a port for us. The cry from the Serena was mixed with the sound of fluttering and crashing on the deck, and the howl of the wind.

"I'm Sunset, damn it, don't you have any brains in the dispatch center, why is the wind speed two levels higher than your forecast?"

"Damn, we're still a bulk container ship, what if the container tilts into the sea?"

"Sunset, why are you running this route, hurry up and find a place to shelter from the wind, there is not even a place to anchor in this sea, and your bulk container ships can't withstand the strong winds." ”

"This is the Bigelow, the waves are hitting our warehouse, please help me arrange the port, immediately!"

The sea was pouring torrential rain, and dozens of ships were tossed in the sea with the big waves.

It is true that the cargo ship can withstand the high waves of tens of meters. But this is like a person starving to death for three days, and the hull structure and the full load of goods of the giant ship will be seriously threatened in this big wave.

A large cruise ship with a white shell and a beautiful shape. Facing strong waves and strong winds, he was making his way to the port of Miyanoura-Kojima Island.

It is the Sapphire, which belongs to the world's top cruise company, Royal Caribbean Cruises.

Launched in 2015 with a displacement of 9,000 tons, the Sapphire has 217 luxurious guest rooms, and the ship has almost everything you have in the world's luxury social venues.

Headquartered in the United States, Royal Caribbean Cruises departed from the United States aboard the Sapphire with more than 200 distinguished passengers. All the way through Alaska, Bristol Bay, Bering Sea, and finally across the Pacific Ocean to Asia.

This is Royal Caribbean's famous Pacific travel route, with a total itinerary of 42 days, along the way, to enjoy the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Dance with whales and enjoy the natural beauty of tropical beaches and a world of snow and ice.

There are 217 luxury passenger cabins, most of which are occupied by retired executives and women with children.

After all, the young rich man rarely had time to stay on the ship for forty-two days, and the Sapphire was long gone from the playful and leisurely scene it used to be. The water in the top-floor sunlit pool was shaking, and the spilling waves swept over the surrounding rows of beach chairs.

Most of the visitors stayed in luxurious rooms comparable to the presidential suite. They helped the handrails beside the bed, all of them were pale and had painful expressions, and some of the people with poor constitution had begun to get seasick and vomit.

"Fack, the local marine environmental forecasts provided by Japan are even more outrageous than the mouths of politicians. Brady, the captain of the Sapphire, jumped to his feet in the cockpit angrily.

The revolving glass on the porthole was spinning rapidly, shaking off the rain that hit it. Before Brady could see anything, another wave hit the foredeck, splashing on the foredeck and mixing with the rain, making the portholes foggy again.

"How far do we get to the port?"

"Sixty-seven nautical miles. The first mate shouted anxiously.

"Damn, there's still a two-hour flight away. Captain Brady grabbed the handrail and turned pale: "When the storm is over, we will definitely be overwhelmed by the sea of complaints, and our winnings will be lost." ”

"It's all damn Japan, which issued a wind speed forecast of level 7, and it turned out that the wind speed is now level 9, and it is a day earlier. ”

"Captain, I feel that something seems to be wrong. According to past experience, the wave height of the wave swept by the ninth-level gale is only six to seven meters, but the waves here have reached tens of meters, reaching the seven-point five-level wave. ”

"You have to ask God. ”

"All I know is that the construction of the ship this time was lost more than a million dollars. Captain Brady replied.

Rumble~

Another great wave is coming.

Captain Brady was about to curse, when suddenly the whole cruise ship shook, and an unusual and violent shaking sound came from the bottom of the ship.

The sound lasted for dozens of seconds, and when the jitter disappeared, everyone noticeably felt that the speed of the ship had slowed down.

"Captain~ This is the wheel room. Oh no, our powertrain is broken. ”
