One Thousand and Seventy-Six: Security Is Only Temporary (600 Votes Plus Update)
"Although I am the captain of the ship, in this case, it is still up to you, I will obey your orders! By the way, only this time, because you have surprised me and admired you today. Mrs. Belliway did not use the corner of her eye to hold Hong Tao this time, but stretched out her hand very solemnly, took off her white gloves, and shook Hong Tao.
"Yes, you all let me call the shots when I take responsibility, so you still look down on me! Speed up, run far, and resign yourself to fate!" Hong Tao didn't know how reliable Amundsen's guarantee was, but he was willing to believe the words of a professional, which was more reliable than his own blind guessing.
The Mouse Superman suddenly let out a long howl as it greeted the sunset in the sky, and then the hull shook violently, accompanied by the obvious roar of the machine, and began to accelerate. Amundsen's design was so calculated that when it wasn't overloaded, the noise of the machine could not be heard in the cabin, even on a quiet night. But as soon as it was overloaded, it was immediately different, and the sound of the humming machine resounded in every corner of the ship at all times, even in Hong Tao's bedroom, it could still be heard, but it was slightly weaker.
Adults can bear it, but the children are afraid that they can't stand it, and suddenly they began to cry again, as a last resort, Hong Tao also let out the bedroom and let the children live, he made a bunk on the floor, fortunately, this bedroom is really big enough, and 12 children can still sleep. Seeing those children curiously groping around in the bedroom, Hong Tao was a little suspicious of his education methods. It doesn't seem like a good thing to be too curious, Hong Shan and Hong Jing are huddled in the corner to dismantle their spare satellite phones. It was too late to stop it, and the antenna was broken! In order to maintain his authority, he not only could not intervene. I have to give a thumbs up to the little brothers and let them continue to dismantle!
When night fell, Hong Tao asked Mrs. Bailivi to slow down again, turn off all the navigation lights on the ship, and rely only on radar scanning for blind sailing. This is a little dangerous, although the navigation radar on the Mouse Superman is twice as powerful as the radar of ordinary civilian ships, but after all, it is a civilian level with navigation as the main focus. Only large targets within 90 nautical miles can be seen. If it is a small fishing boat about ten meters long, especially a wooden fishing boat, it is basically impossible to find it. It is easy to cause a collision.
But Hong Tao no longer cares about the lives of others, especially the lives of Indonesians. The fishing boats that are more than ten meters long, whether they are wooden or iron-welded, basically do little practical harm to the Mouse Superman. But if you are spotted by a passing fishing boat. Then there's big trouble. The route taken at present is not a traditional commercial route, but a route mastered by Madame Bellivi herself, which is also an important factor in whether a captain is worth anything or not. Many old captains have their own secrets, and the route is the focus of them, and those are what they have summed up with their life's experience. Rushing to this new route that no ship will take, Hong Tao felt that it was worth paying 5 times his salary.
Hong Tao basically didn't close his eyes much that night, except for sleeping a room of children, he looked at the stars in the sky. I always think of the desperate eyes of those people on the dock. What if he had stopped for a few more minutes? Maybe he could have gotten past the two cargo ships, or he could have Radha and Singh machine gun fire on the cargo ships and force them away. At least dozens more people can be saved. But why didn't I make the right decision at that time? No, I had worked hard enough, if I hadn't shot those policemen, I wouldn't have been able to save even these dozens of people, people can't be too greedy, they must know how to be content!
Two thoughts came out one after another, and a fight began in Hong Tao's mind, and from time to time Hong Tao would have auditory hallucinations, either thinking that there was the sound of an airplane, or that there was a sound of a ship nearby, so he had to get up again and again and look out of the transparent glass cover, and then lie back again after making sure that there was really no pursuer. And the wound on his forehead was a little dull pain, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
At that time, in the hangar, he seemed to be too brave in front of Levin, the knife cut too deeply, and he forgot to stitch it up, but simply treated it with a medical bandage, maybe he would fall a scar. Alas, he wasn't very handsome in the first place, and there was a scar on his head, how can this Nima be mixed up in the future, in case any princess refuses herself because of this scar, isn't it a big loss!
Before I could think of a single question, the day dawned, and the Mouse Superman roared again, like a wounded rat, rushing towards the north on the sea, leaving a long wake behind it, like a trail of blood flowing from its body. In fact, it is just using up its own body energy just to speed up a few knots. Yesterday Hong Tao did not tell the truth to Madame Bellivi, and what Amundsen told him was not true. Amundsen determined that the motor could be overloaded for at least 20 hours, but there was one consequence that Hong Tao did not say, that is, these four sets of motors were basically scrapped after such a toss, and from then on, even normal navigation could not be guaranteed, and maybe when they had to lie down. The only solution is to replace the unit with a new one, plus the cost of equipment transportation, personnel transfer, and repair, which will cost at least $1.5 million.
Hong Tao didn't care too much about money, and he didn't take the risk if he cared about money. It's just that in this way, the Mouse Superman is a ship that has been overhauled, and it has to be overhauled on its first voyage, which makes Hong Tao very depressed. Who wants to drive a car that has been overhauled all day long? Even if the performance is not hindered at all, but this psychology is always awkward, but no matter how awkward it is, you have to run!
"U.S. Navy, where are you? Next time I won't stretch out my middle finger at you, you are my own uncle, come on!" If you can make the Mouse Superman a little faster, Hong Tao is willing to pay $1 million for every faster section, and buy 100 knots first, which is the best way to outrun the fighter. At this time, he found that he was not afraid of death, but he was still afraid of death, and he was afraid of such an unknown death, which was much more depressing than falling to death in a flying squirrel suit. That one is what I am happy with, this one is what I am not happy with, both are dead, but it feels different.
"Boss, there is an old man in the hangar who has passed away......" Just when Hong Tao was standing on the three-story platform with a dry stool and a lot of thoughts, Singh walked up and whispered in Hong Tao's ear.
"Ahh
"It's not a disease, the doctor has examined her, she has been in a coma since last night, maybe she is too old and frightened, and the specific cause can only be found out in the hospital. The doctor wants to ask you, what to do with her body, which can easily decay if it were left directly in the hangar. Singh's answer made Hong Tao much more comfortable, as long as it was not an infectious disease, everything was easy to do.
"Go to the bilge and make a freezer, put the old man in it, and as for what to do when they get ashore, listen to their families. Don't worry about the money problem, I can solve it, let them not be too sad, I can't hear the crying now, I'm careful, I'm about to smoke! By the way, call Amundsen and ask him to send a set of accessories for the freezer, I don't want the freezer, replace it with a new ......one" Hong Tao felt that he was about to have a heart attack, this kind of waiting for death was the most uncomfortable, if the Indonesian warship really caught up now, he would not be uncomfortable. Get into the submarine and run, the people on the boat love it, they can't control it, and the children will also send it to the Indonesian government, and if they have the ability, they will all be killed.
"Mr. Ait, I have a problem here, please come over as soon as possible!" As soon as Singh left, Hong Tao's cigar had not yet reached his mouth, and Mrs. Bailivi's voice came from the walkie-talkie, which made Hong Tao's hands tremble, and the cigar fell directly to the deck.
“…… I'll come here!" Hong Tao picked up the walkie-talkie, almost scolding the country, and now his temper was very, very short-tempered, like an ant on a hot pot.
"We have just received word from the USS Vincent frigate, which is 80 nautical miles northwest of us, heading due east, and we can meet it in four hours at most. They asked if we had any other needs, and if the situation was urgent, they could change course to pick us up, so that we could meet in less than 2 hours. In the cab, Mrs. Bailivy took out a fax for Hong Tao to see.
"There must be an emergency, you tell them that there are refugees on the ship who are in a state of dying, and we urgently need doctors and medicines, it is very urgent!" Hong Tao didn't even think about it, and took advantage of the old lady who had just died. I don't know if this frigate of the US Navy is carrying helicopters, if it can send a helicopter over and land on the Mouse Superman, Hong Tao thinks it is also an insurance, there are American soldiers on board, at least it will not be shelled and missiles or anything, Hong Tao is very sure of this.
"Singh, don't send the old man's body to the freezer yet, just put it in the hangar, and someone will come to ask after a while, and he will say that he has just died. "It's a complete set of nonsense, and Mrs. Bailivi said that it can't be done, and Singh has to cooperate, as for whether it's appropriate to do so, let's wait until it's safe to think about it.
"Can't you tell the truth even if you lie to your allies?" said Mrs. Bailivi began to look at the corner of her eye again.
"We'll discuss this issue later, and I also have a hard time...... Hong Tao also wants to discuss the moral level with Mrs. Bailiwei, and the tall image that has been built up with great difficulty can't be ruined like this. (To be continued......)
