South pacific.

120 degrees east longitude and 55 degrees south latitude.

As the sun sets, the sea leaves a string of afterglow, which looks particularly magnificent.

After a busy day, seafarers finally have a chance to take a break. They sat directly on top of the mountain of squid. Those who play with their mobile phones play with their mobile phones, those who drink water drink water, and those who smoke cigarettes smoke cigarettes.

Several ship bosses were busy contacting the transport ship. Push once, urge twice, urge three times...... However, the transport ship never came.

The old monster kept scolding his mother in a hurry. Lei Zhenzi and Thunderbolt are also anxious.

Satellite phones are actually quite expensive. But they kept fighting.

Repeated calls. Keep calling.

However, the ship's satellite phone is always busy.

They never imagined that they would be dragged back by the transport ship. Knowing earlier, they would have carried their own transport boats.

"Damn, when I get back, I'll buy a transport ship myself!"

"This time, we did make a mistake. ”

"It's not well thought out!"

"Who would have thought that the squid here would be so abundant. ”

"There weren't many fishing boats that came close to this place before, right? There are no port supplies around. The requirements for self-sustaining power are relatively high. ”

"Yes, we are now fifteen hundred nautical miles from the nearest port. ”

Fifteen hundred nautical miles is not far away?

Not far, that is, about 2800 kilometers.

It is about the straight-line distance from Yangcheng (Guangzhou/Zhou) in Lingnan to Harbin (Erbin) City in the northernmost part of the country. For an airplane, it's definitely not far.

However, for ordinary fishing boats, it is very far away.

At an average speed of about 10 knots, it takes 150 hours to get here. That's about seven days.

It also takes 150 hours to go back from here. Again, it's about seven days.

In other words, it takes two weeks to come and go.

If it's not a super-large fishing boat, it's not cost-effective to come and go like this.

The main reason, of course, is that the cost of fuel is too high.

And for super-large fishing boats, it is not worth such a low value-added species as squid.

This time, the squid fishing fleet organized by the old monster, thunderbolt, Lei Zhenzi and others has a total of eight boats. The displacement is all about 1000 tons. It's not huge. Of course, it's not too small. With the help of the rock engine, they galloped all the way into this strange sea. Hook down. The result was a bumper harvest.

If you just hook it, you can catch a string of squid.

The size of some of the squid is unprecedented. It's three or four hundred catties at every turn.

Luckily, each squid fishing boat is equipped with a mechanical hook that can be pulled with electricity. Otherwise, if you rely on manpower alone......

I'm afraid that the seafarers themselves will be pulled into the sea by such a huge squid.

These super-large squids have a lot of strength.

Relying solely on manpower, it is simply impossible to pull them up.

When the time comes, whether the seafarers are fishing for squid or the squid is fishing for seafarers will have to be said.

When it comes to this, we must thank Wang Bu'an!

Without the Rock series engine he invented, there would be no squid fishing boat today!

Unexpectedly, however, the joy of a bumper harvest was soon washed away by the shortage of transport ships.

The transport ship could not be turned.

Transport ships are needed everywhere.

Everywhere seems to be a state of great harvest?

Now, the eight squid fishing boats are loaded with all kinds of seafood. There's almost no place to stay.

Now, there are a lot of squid in the seawater, and you can catch a string of them if you just hook them.

There is no need for lighting at all.

The squid itself floats from the depths of the sea.

But there's nowhere to put it when you catch it, and now it's all deck. If you continue to catch fish, you may even slide into the water.

"I'll buy a transport ship when I go back!"

"Gotta buy a transport ship! Gotta buy a transport ship! Gotta buy a transport ship!"

"Do you want to call and order now? I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it if it's too late." Maybe at this time, transport ships are also very popular. ”

Several boat bosses whined while smoking.

They took out their satellite phones and looked for shipyards. As a result, it still didn't get through.

There was only one shipyard they were looking for. That is the new Hongyang Shipyard.

As a result, the phone at the new Hongyang shipyard is also busy. It really gives the illusion that he's busy. It seems that you can't even buy a transport ship.

Depressed!

Depressed can't do it.

The three ship bosses are known to be scheming and omnipotent.

They have been crisscrossing the South Pacific for many years, and they have never seen any strong winds and waves? They have never encountered such a predicament as they do today.

was actually suffocated to death by a transport ship that usually doesn't pay attention at all.

Suddenly, a seaman on duty came out to report that there were many ships approaching in the northwest. Probably a warship.

"Warship?"

"Whose warship?"

"How can there be warships here?"

"Could it be that the monsters of the deep sea have appeared?"

"......"

They're all daring guys.

They don't believe in any deep-sea monsters at all. I think it's all foolish.

It's like some Venetian water monster, Nile water ghost and the like, in fact, they are all false rumors and deliberately made up to frighten people. In fact, it doesn't exist at all.

As for the warships......

This is a three-way zone!

It's already close to Antarctica. There will simply be no warships.

"It's our warship!"

"What?"

"It's our own warship!"

"Huh?"

Several boat bosses were collectively stunned.

Our own warship?

Warships from China?

How could a warship from China come to such a distant place?

Could it be that something big is happening nearby? I haven't heard of it! They have been working in this area all along, and they don't feel anything unusual at all!

"Everybody be careful. ”

"If the situation is not right, evacuate immediately at maximum speed. ”

"The meeting point is a thousand nautical miles due north. If the confluence is not possible, then continue a thousand kilometers north. ”

The Thunderbolt quickly issued the order.

All the seafarers were immediately put into a tense state of readiness.

They had never encountered a Chinese warship here. Who knows if it's true?

What if it's a warship from another country?

Anything can happen on the ocean.

It is also possible that the warship was impersonated by pirates.

Finally, the goal appeared.

It started with the time, a little black dot.

The black dot grew bigger and bigger, and gradually became a ship. The silhouette of the ship is becoming clearer and clearer.

Sure enough, it was a warship.

On the mast of the warship, a bright five-star red flag fluttered.

It is indeed a warship of China!

In addition to being depressed, everyone was in good spirits.

It's really a warship in China!

They actually came here.

Moreover, not one or two, but in one formation. There were eight warships.

"Huh, isn't that the Shinno ship?"

"Huh? Hey, it's really a Shinno ship!"

The old monster and the others were all recognized.

There was a warship in the middle, which was the string number they were familiar with, and it was none other than the Shinno ship.

Speaking of the new no-ship, they are definitely old acquaintances. Greetings often come and go. At this time, nature is no exception.

The old youkai immediately applied to talk to the new one. As a result, the communication was quickly connected.

"Old you, is that you?"

"Huh, Captain Lin?"

The old monster and the others were slightly stunned.

It turned out that the person who was talking to them was none other than the captain of the Shinno ship, Lin Chengji.

Old acquaintances.

100% old acquaintances.

"Captain Lin, why did you come so far away, what's wrong?"

"You can all come, why can't we?"

"Also to ......"

The old monster nodded.

However, it always felt that something was wrong.

It is true that a warship has never run so far before!

You know, south of the 55th parallel, there are no ports at all, and there is no land!

It is of no use for warships to come to this sea area. Fuel is wasted.

"We're here for sea trials. Lin Chengji explained.

"Oh. I see. The old monster and the others suddenly realized.

Needless to say, these warships are equipped with Rock series engines, and there is no need for fuel costs.

Since there is no need for any fuel costs, of course, it is five lakes and four seas, seven continents, four oceans, free shuttle, go wherever you want, run as you want. Even if it's a daily long-distance exercise. Train the crew, inspect weapons and equipment, assess logistics supplies, and test communications ...... Casually, just go around the earth.

"What are you doing here, in a daze?" came Fan Qixiang, the deputy captain of the Xinye ship.

"Alas, don't mention it. We are waiting for the transport ship. The old monster said sullenly.

"What about the transport ships you usually work with?"

"It's too busy. ”

"That'...... Hurry up and contact the Lu family's transport ship. ”

"Where is the Lu family?"

"We met six hours ago. It is estimated to be three hundred nautical miles away. ”

"Good. Please give me the frequency of contact. ”

"Right now. ”

Not long after, the old monster really contacted the Lu family's transport ship.

The transport ship was rounded from the Drake Passage, the southernmost part of South America. It is a very large frozen ship.

It has also just been replaced with a Rock 500 engine. Running around the world.

It is also the result of Lu Lingqi's successful backdoor.

The building near the water gets the moon first!

"How much water is displaced?"

"Fifty thousand tons. ”

"How much?"

"Fifty thousand tons. ”

"Day!"

The ship bosses were finally relieved.

This time, we were finally able to clean up all the inventory on the fishing boats.

50,000 tons of refrigerated ships!

The old monster quickly ordered.

All the fishing boats immediately headed north and joined the refrigerated boats.

The refrigerated boat also turned south and joined the fishing boat. The expected time of the encounter is five hours later.

"Captain Lin, do you want to continue south?"

"That's right!"

"Where are you going?"

"Cross the Drake Passage and enter the Atlantic!"

"Oh. ”

The old monster nodded.

Sure enough, it's a round-the-world voyage!

Don't take the Panama Canal, go straight to the farthest route.

"Then let's go first. ”

"Good. Good bye. ”

"Goodbye. ”

The squid fishing fleet turned around and headed north.

The warship formation continued southward.

Five hours later, the squid fishing fleet finally joined up with the refrigerated boats.

Ten hours later, the formation of Chinese warships, including the Xinye warship, also crossed the Drake Strait and entered the Atlantic Ocean to continue its journey.
