Chapter 168: Isolated Island
The sun rises at sea and always comes up earlier than on land, just after six o'clock, and the sun has already risen above sea level. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ray Guest Bedroom.
"Simpler, speak simply......" A pleasant mobile phone ringtone, Lin Lei, who was still asleep in a daze one moment, immediately opened his eyes the next moment.
Lin Lei picked up the mobile phone next to his pillow and slid it lightly to turn off the alarm.
Lin Lei looked at the time, it was not half past six - for a leisurely traveler, it was not yet time to get up.
Lin Lei wanted to sleep a little longer, but through the cabin window, Lin Lei found that it was already bright outside, so he got up from the bed and got dressed.
Lin Lei walked into the bathroom, just finished washing, and was about to go outside to smoke a cigarette-
A quick knock on the door came to Lin Lei's ears!
"Boss, boss, oh no!โopen the door!"
It's the voice of the coulee!
Lin Lei frowned, chuckled in his heart, took three steps and two steps, and quickly opened the door.
"Boss!-" Gu Li looked at Lin Lei anxiously, with a very panicked look on his face.
Yes, panic.
With Gu Li's personality, this kid is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, even when facing Li Chengkai who was full of detonators, he didn't even blink.
However, at this moment, there were two big words written on his face - "panic......
Lin Lei immediately walked out of the door and asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation?"
Gu Li pointed to the exit of the cabin passage and motioned for Lin Lei to go to the deck: "Boss, cruise ship...... Something happened to the cruise ship!"
"Something happened?!" Lin Lei couldn't help but be taken aback, and his face immediately became heavy.
At this moment, Lu Yun, who had just gotten up, also heard the movement, and hurriedly opened the door: "Lin Lei, what happened? As soon as I finished washing, I heard Gu Li's shouting voice!"
Lin Lei waved his hand and quickened the pace under his feet: "Lu Yun, follow me!"
After the three of them rushed to the deck, they were stunned when they saw the situation!
There was nothing unusual on the deck, just a few crew members shuttling back and forth, looking grim.
However,
The cruise ship did not sail, but remained motionless.
And the sea water around the cruise ship is all black!
Yes, black, just as the color of death!
Lin Lei smelled a huge smell of fuel, and he immediately understood why Gu Li was so flustered!
The cruise ship spilled oil......
And the oil leakage is huge, and there is a layer of fuel floating on the sea water around the cruise ship!
If you are on land, you can always find a way to solve the problem, but now it is at sea, the vast sea, as far as the eye can see!
Lin Lei took out a cigarette and lit itโuh, unlit.
He didn't bother to light it, but just sniffed the cigarette and put it back in the iron cigarette case at the Tinkya Water Bay.
Lin Lei turned his head to look at Gu Li and asked, "Old Gu, when did you find out?"
Gu Li had palpitations: "Boss, didn't you tell me not to sleep too hard last night? I drank more than ten cups of coffee in a row, and I almost vomited before I went to sleep." I slept lightly all night, and it seemed that I heard movement outside, so I got up. โ
After a pause, Gul struggled to control his emotions and continued, "As soon as I came to the deck, I saw the current situation......
At this moment, a ship crew member walked up to Lin Lei, his face seemed a little ugly.
The shipping staff was about 40 years old, not tall, with dark skin, and at first glance he looked like a typical Southeast Asian.
This person said to Lin Lei in Chinese, "Mr. Lin, my name is Suchai, and I am from the Kingdom of Tailan. I'm the first mate of the Daystar cruise ship, and now the cruise ship is in some trouble, please go back to your room and wait patiently......"
Obviously, the first mate Su Chai also chose the wording, and in the current situation, he only said "encountered some trouble", which is obviously super troublesome!
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Su Chai: "Mr. Su Chai, is the cruise ship leaking oil?
Su Guess was stunned, this Mr. Lin knew the "watertight cabin", so he was not a guest who could be fooled around.
Watertight compartments are separate compartments at the bottom of a ship that are specifically designed to prevent water ingress into the ship.
For example, if there is a break in the bottom of the ship and seawater enters, then the seawater will generally only enter the watertight compartment where the damage is broken. To put it simply, it is equivalent to the bottom of the ship being separated by independent watertight compartments, and the water entering one place will not cause other watertight compartments to also enter the water.
Su Chai nodded: "We found out about the oil leak on the cruise ship at five o'clock in the morning, and the captain ordered the inspection of the watertight compartment as soon as possible. There is currently only one watertight compartment in the water, but we have a total of seven watertight compartments, and six more are unharmed, blocking the passage of seawater into the cruise ship. Mr. Lin can rest assured that there will be no danger. โ
When Lin Lei heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, nodded slightly, and asked, "Is the fuel leaking?"
Su Chai looked a little ugly and sighed: "Alas, I don't know if the cruise ship hit the reef and the fuel leaked." It is impossible for the cruise ship to move, and now we can only wait for rescue. โ
The nine-dash line in China mainly includes the South China Sea, but the voyage from YN to Tailan is not within the nine-dash line, and cruise ships are now in the open sea.
The sea conditions in the South China Sea are complex, and with the alternation of high tide and low tide, there are often some underwater reefs that have a huge impact on the navigation of ships.
But-
That was a long time ago, but it's a very different situation now.
In modern times, any international sea route is carefully selected over many years, and the possibility of touching a reef is almost zero.
However, there are no absolutes in the world, and if it is really a very unlikely event that is encountered by Lin Lei, there is no way to do it.
Su Chai persuaded Lin Lei three times in a row, asking him to go back to his room and not make trouble on the deck. Of course, Suchai's tone was very polite.
Lin Lei didn't mean to go back to the room, and in the end, Su Chai had to tell Lin Lei the truth.
It turned out that the situation was 10,000 times worse than expected!
Needless to say, the cruise ship leaked oil, the positioning equipment and rescue equipment on the ship were all damaged, and the mechanics on the ship were rushing to repair it at this time, and it is still unknown whether it can be repaired......
Originally, the ship was equipped with maritime satellite phones, but the satellite phones were stored in the equipment storage room, and they were stolen last night!
In other words, the Daystar has lost all channels of contact with the outside world, and in the middle of this vast sea, it is like an isolated island...... (To be continued.) )
