"Captain, Master Huo said that there is a distress signal ahead! Wei Hang was lying comfortably on the deck chair, blowing the sea breeze, when a crew member ran up to him and said to him.

"Distress signal?" Wei Hang's face was a little solemn, in the event of an accident at sea, ordinary ships can send a distress signal to the surroundings, and if a ship receives their signal, it can be rescued.

His ship also has such facilities, so it can receive distress signals. In accordance with international practice and humanitarianism, ships that receive distress signals are obliged to rescue ships in distress.

But this is the high seas, and if you go up rashly, who knows what will happen? If it's pirates, they'll be in trouble. Therefore, Weihang had to be cautious and decided to go to the wheelhouse to have a look.

In the past, the international distress signal was SOS, and in daily life, SOS is usually understood as: "SaveOurShip", which means "save us" in Chinese.

Due to the development of modern radio communication technology, ships and spacecraft are less and less using Morse code to communicate, therefore, in addition to amateur radio, SOS has been gradually discontinued and replaced with an international distress system for international maritime satellite electronic communication equipment.

GMDSS is an abbreviation for Global Maritime Distress and Safety System. The system is mainly composed of three parts: satellite communication system, maritime satellite communication system, polar orbit satellite search and rescue system, ground radio communication system, that is, coast station, and maritime safety information broadcasting system.

GMDSS has the following seven functions: distress alarm, search and rescue coordination communication, assisted on-site communication, positioning, broadcast of maritime safety information, conventional public business communication, and bridge-to-bridge communication.

It plays an irreplaceable role in navigation, communication, coordination and rescue in the field of ships. This is the kind of system used on Weihang's ship, for which he also specially invited two experts in this field to sit on the ship and teach everyone how to use it.

It's the first time this has happened. Also, it is close to Japan, so it is likely that it is Japanese.

"What's the situation?" Wei Hang said as he walked into the cockpit and said to the two crew members who were in charge of this.

They were specially recruited by Weihang. Familiar with this large fishing vessel.

"It's not very far, I've contacted them, they are Chinese, it's a cruise ship that came out of China to play on the high seas, encountered a crude oil spill at sea, got stuck in it, and ran aground. We've done the positioning, and they've provided the coordinates as well. One of the experts who was operating the instrument turned back to him.

"Then hurry over and save them! Wei Hang said immediately.

It didn't take long for Wei Hang and the others to arrive at the site of the cruise ship's accident, and they were a miserable scene.

A strong wind was blowing on the sea. The leaked crude oil was blown from a distance, and as far as the eye could see, the entire sea was covered with black viscous crude oil, and the huge schools of fish they had seen were nothing compared to this.

There was a dead silence in the air, mixed with countless fish and seabirds, most of them dead and only a few still struggling. It is futile and useless, and it only exacerbates their fear of death.

As far as everyone can see, there are some whales and shark carcasses floating on the surface of the sea, drifting along with the filthy crude oil. They were once the hegemons of the sea, but now they are lifeless.

Seals, walruses, and dolphins contaminated by oil leap out of the water again and again, trying to shake off the oil from their fur and breathe fresh air. But in the end, he was exhausted and struggled to drown in the sea.

There are also some seabirds that do not know how to fly down and wait for an opportunity to feed. But the wings were stained with oil, and they could no longer fly, and sank to the bottom of the sea in a flutter.

The two military treasure hunters on the boat saw some small fish and shrimp in the sea, and flew over excitedly, wanting to have a full meal, but they didn't care that the food was dyed black and the strange smell.

Wei Hang hurriedly called them back, the two little guys are really not afraid of death, they dare to go, haven't you seen so many lessons from the past?

"Xiaohang, hurry up and sail over, there is a turtle there, it's not dead yet, save it quickly." Gu Haichao's expression was sad, his face was full of resentment, and he didn't know which ship had leaked the crude oil, causing these creatures in the sea to suffer such an unwarranted disaster.

Gotcha! Again!

Everyone was speechless, are you here to save turtles or people? It seems that there is still a large group of people waiting to be rescued, right?

Wei Hang also saw the cruise ship, it was very luxurious, the hull was a little tilted at the moment, and it didn't sink immediately, it didn't seem to be very strict.

Think about it, it's a cruise ship, it won't go too fast, it won't be too heavy, if it's offshore, if it's handled properly, it's possible to support yourself back to shore!

Part of the hull of the cruise ship has sunk into the sea, and this state is still continuing, and it seems that the place where the water has entered cannot be blocked or isolated.

If there are no other ships in the nearby waters, their fate will be doomed, along with those seabirds and fish, to become victims of these spilled crude oil.

Wei Hang was speechless to these people, China's sea area is so big, where to go to play is not good, but he wants to run out of the high seas to play, probably because he is greedy for freshness and excitement, right?

It's really bold, this is a place where some people often do gray transactions, a bad one, anything can happen, although the sea is vast, the probability of this encounter is very small, but there is no need to risk yourself, right?

But now is not the time to sigh, Wei Hang they drove a small boat over, rescued a person who fell into the sea, fortunately they have enough lifebuoys on the cruise ship, and the processing is also very timely, some have been rescued on the cruise ship, Wei Hang has seen it with Haizhu, and no one has sunk to the bottom of the sea because of this.

However, some people have experienced dizziness and vomiting, which is a symptom of toluene and benzene-containing toxic compounds, but fortunately, after the diffusion of crude oil, the concentration of these compounds has decreased a little, and their symptoms are not very severe.

Some of the components in these spills contain toxic compounds such as benzene and toluene, which leak into the ocean and quickly enter the food chain, from lower algae to higher mammals.

A significant proportion of those dead marine fish and seabirds died from poisoning.

Wei Hang didn't dare to stay for a long time, and hurriedly rescued these people into the dinghy and left, in the process, he also secretly put some animals that had not died into Haizhu, there was only so much he could do, the polluted area was so large, he couldn't save them all.

There were not many of their dinghys, and it was impossible to quickly transfer all of them to the fishing boats, and there were reefs in the sea over there, and the sea surface was also covered by oil, and the effect of the instruments on the ship was weakened, and Wei Hang did not dare to go there.

In order to prevent the poisoning of those people from deepening, he had to hook the cruise ship with a cable and drag it out before transferring the personnel.

The other empty ships rescued some animals who struggled to swim away from the crude oil area, and when they saw them dying and struggling, everyone couldn't bear it, so let's do something about it!

Among the rescued animals is the turtle that Gu Haichao said just now.

"You go and take out those oxygen cylinders for diving and give them oxygen. Wei Hang said that toluene poisoning is more troublesome to deal with, and he has no professional equipment on board, so he can only do some simple treatment.

The others can only be dealt with after the sea rescue organization comes, and I believe that they are not the only ones who have received the distress signal.

There were about thirty or forty people rescued, both men and women, and they were basically young people, dressed fashionably, dressed in fashion, and some of the jewelry on their bodies was also very dazzling.

Think about it, can people who don't have money drive such a big cruise ship out to play? Even if some people are invited, they are almost the same people in the same social circle.

"Thank you, Captain Wei, or we'll be done. A young man said to Wei Hang, he was gorgeously dressed and dignified, but at this time he looked like he had palpitations.

"No thanks, this is what I should do, and someone else will save you as well. Wei Hang said.

He also got on that cruise ship when he rescued people just now, and it wasn't an ordinary luxury, but I don't know if it can be repaired if it can be towed back?

Naturally, the young man would not be as casual as him, he knew that if they were just nearby, their luck would already be very good, where would they still have such good luck, waiting for someone else to save them?

After some communication, Wei Hang knew that the young man in front of him was the owner of the cruise ship, called Zhao Yuan. He also invited some friends to play on the high seas on a whim, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

At that time, they were holding an event indoors, and everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and the strong wind was blowing towards them, and when they found a large area of oil entrainment, it was too late to hide.

In a panic, they tried to sail out of the area, but the sea was dirty, and there were many large fish that disturbed the cruise ship, so they ran into the reef.

"Are you the owner of the island?" a young man said to Wei Hang, and as Tangjia Village became a hot spot during this time, his popularity was relatively high.

"I heard that the owner of the island bought an ocean-going fishing boat some time ago, called 'Tang Jiancun No. 1', is this one?" said a girl, at that time, someone also took a photo and uploaded it to the Internet, she also saw it, but just now I was panicked and didn't recognize it. She knew that the owner of the island was powerful and had created a lot of miracles, but she didn't expect to see it today.

"Really! Look! I didn't expect me to come up to this ship in such a way. The other looked a little excited, and when she leaned over the side of the ship, she saw a few large letters on the hull.

Some other people are also very interested, they have paid attention to the website of the world's beautiful scenery, the last red tide incident, there is a figure of "Tangjia Village No. 1". (To be continued......)
