The Lisha freighter quietly drifted about 6 nautical miles northwest of Pulleyland Island, and it finally came to this place that was jokingly called "Dragon Island" by the sailors, looking at it from a distance, you can actually see a large stone tablet dozens of meters high, but no one recognizes the text on it, or the sharp-eyed Shen Mingyue told everyone that it is actually Japanese, and the symbol on it is the eight big characters of "International Sea Rescue Base", and she may be the only one on the whole ship who has studied Japanese.

Captain Mo Quan told everyone that there is never any substantial rescue of ships in distress in the Dragon Triangle, but it can provide fuel and fresh water supplies for ships in distress that survive or other reasons, and even simple hull welding and mechanical repairs can also be carried out here, and there is a luxury pier about 1,800 meters long on the northeast side of the island, and the water depth near the pier is more than 30 meters, and hundreds of thousands of tons of ships can easily berth if the rescue base allows.

However, the oil and water supply here is extremely expensive, a ton of fresh water charges 1,000 US dollars, a ton of fuel charges 20,000 US dollars, everyone is secretly stunned when they hear this, if this is in the mainland, 10 yuan a ton of water is also a serious stealing customer, but this is in the vast ocean, the word Jin Gui has a new explanation.

Captain Mo Quan had no plans to weld and repair the hull, because the damage was not very serious, and the chief engineer himself could organize the repair and protection, but he planned to endure the pain and replenish 5 tons of fresh water, according to his careful calculations, if it was only used for drinking, more than 30 people should be enough to endure and return to the port of departure. However, even 5 tons of fresh water would have to be transported in a dinghy for more than a dozen round-trips, and in order to store it, it would have to be purchased in 10 or 8 special barrels of water, each of which costs as much as $380.

Xia Yuanshen doesn't know foreign languages, so he can only change him to control the ship, the first mate Lu Zunyue is having a simple communication with the island, and declares the supply needs to the signal station of the rescue base, it seems that the communication is not very smooth, Lu Zunyue and the signal station chatted for a long time.

Although it is a Japanese rescue base, what he says is an international communication term - English, among the few people in Beiting, except for Shen Mingyue, who is proficient in foreign languages, it is Chen Tianyu who is half a bucket of water, although not every word can be understood, but the general meaning is still clear, and the meaning of the signal station is that the supply quantity is too small, and it means that he is not very happy. As he spoke, he asked if the hull was damaged and whether it needed to be repaired, and there was a difficult question to answer, why didn't the Liza berth in for supplies?

Chen Tianyu frowned slightly, secretly thinking about the other party's tone, it seems that this Evil Dragon Island is really a trick that you didn't negotiate, no wonder Captain Mo Quan was still full of shame when he was so dangerous.

Lu Zunyue hung up the phone, his face was not very good-looking, he talked with Captain Mo Quan in a low voice, and conveyed the general meaning of the island, which is nothing more than to increase supplies, and it is best to berth at the dock for hull repair, otherwise, such a small business island is not willing to do it.

"There will definitely be a problem when you berth in, this ghost place, you will inevitably take off a layer of skin when you pass by, and it will be ...... to berth in" Captain Mo Quan's face was uglier than him, and his speech was much more unprecedentedly unprecedented.

Chen Tianyu asked with some confusion: "Old captain, have you been here?"

"I've been here two or three times, but I wasn't a captain at the time, so I don't know how they coped with it. Captain Mo Quan looked a little helpless.

Chen Tianyu asked again: "Do you have to berth to the dock every time?"

Captain Mo Quan nodded: "Normally, you will lean on, but you also know the situation on the ship now...... In the past, they were all ordinary sailors, ordinary people, and they didn't have so many scruples. ”

Captain Qu Yihui frowned beside him and said, "Do they still want to come up to search? This is too blatant." ”

Lu Zunyue sighed and said: "There is only one within a radius of thousands of nautical miles, a completely monopolistic industry, it is not as if we want to do what we want, we can only abide by the rules." ”

Everyone is silent, each line has its own rules of the game, and each line has its own unique threshold, and there is no way to comment on this matter.

"Then let's lean in, it's a big deal to take off this tiger skin and find a place to hide it, they can't rummage through the cabinets...... Let's leave as soon as we're done with supplies, and we won't be able to delay long. Captain Qu Yihui took the initiative to propose.

Li Yiting hurriedly reminded him: "Your 64 cannon has to be dealt with in a key way, otherwise insiders can see the flaws at a glance." We don't care, we are ordinary people, and it is not a big problem to hide our documents. ”

Captain Qu Yihui bowed: "It's not difficult to deal with such a small thing, fortunately, there were no weapons at that time, otherwise it would be really a bit of trouble now." ”

Several people carefully discussed some contingency plans before deciding to obey the arrangement of the rescue base, and the Lisha sailed east and south to enter the port, berthing at the mysterious Pliland wharf.

No one could have imagined that it was this berthing that allowed the Lisha to stay on Priland Island for as long as a month.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lisa successfully landed at the 1,800-meter-long pier, which is located on the north side of Priland Island, where there is a huge harbor basin with an area of about 9 square kilometers, and the completion of such a magnificent berthing facility in such a remote place shows its thriving business. But as long as you think of the high price here, everyone will not feel particularly surprised, but Chen Tianyu still has some unreasonable doubts in his heart, is such a high charge just because the ship is in distress and has to accept it? Or some other reasons, there is no way to figure it out yet.

The freighter had just tied the cables, the gangplank barely touched the ground, and the safety net had not been opened, when a group of stern-faced personnel boarded the ship, these people did not seem to have special equipment, but obviously had special powers, they soon conducted an inventory of all the cabins of the Liza, the procedure was very skillful and sophisticated, if only from this kind of routine, these people are a little like government officials, but they did not deliberately rummage through the cabinets, which made everyone feel a little relieved.

All the personnel of the Lisha have changed into very ordinary civilian clothes, just from the appearance, it is still not easy to find their special identity, Captain Mo Quan thought, as long as these people do not walk around the island and show unusual behavior, it is unlikely that the port management will be suspicious, so that the day's supply can be completed quickly.

Soon, he realized that his calculations seemed to be wrong, and these seemingly ordinary inspectors made a request that could not be denied: except for leaving a deputy captain and a chief engineer to assist in repairing the ship, all crew members must disembark immediately and land on the island, and no one was to return to the ship until the Lisha left port, and all expenses had to be settled on the island.

Chen Tianyu finally realized that everything that seems unreasonable always has its most reasonable point.

He naturally thought of some tourist attractions in China, and it seemed that the Evil Dragon Island in the mouth of the sailors turned out to be a "tourist shopping area", and the concept of compulsory consumption was obviously an international law.

Captain Mo Quan reluctantly informed the people in Beiting that the condition that the rescue base promised to supply fresh water was to take over the welding and repair of the hull of the Lisha, including the welding and repair of the oil tank and the water tank, although there was no need to buy additional buckets, but the repair cost would need to increase several times.

Judging by his expression, there is no doubt that he is crazy when he gets on a thief ship.

What's more, to get the job done, they had to spend at least a week in Pliland before they left the port.

This is still a conservative estimate.

Who knows if the workers who repair the hull will be "passive and slacking off"?
