Chapter 1088: Flying Disaster
"Water...... "Water ......" Compared with Hong Changqing, Hong Anna is a natural navigator.
At just two years old, she had no fear of the sea, and dared to stand on the bow of the most bumpy boat for the first time, splash the water on her face, and then giggle, enjoying the feeling of riding the wind and waves.
From this point of view, Hong Tao feels that his genes seem to have been given to his daughter. Hong Qi is a pirate maniac and a thief, while Anna is close to nature and stupid and bold.
On the other hand, looking at the three sons, Hong Changqing won't talk about it, this is a freak. Ouyang Fan can't slip away all day long, he can watch people put down dishes when he is more than three years old, and he can hold back what he has in his heart, and he has the talent of being a politician.
Hong Xiaorui is quiet and quiet, he doesn't like to play with guns and building blocks cars, but is very keen on singing, dancing and drawing. Holding a crayon to scribble around all day, it is obvious that he has inherited Qi Rui's artistic cells, and he is going in the direction of Hungasso and Honggao.
"I hope Rui Rui can give birth to a son who is more like me this time, even if he becomes a street bastard in the future. Every time he thinks of this question, Hong Tao feels a little regretful, and now he understands why his grandfather and grandmother are so patriarchal.
This thing is indeed a little different, and even people who can think so much can't help but ask for it. Children are the continuation of their own bloodline, and who doesn't want to have a child who is very, very similar to themselves. Watching him grow up day by day is like seeing his own future.
Today, Hong Tao plans to run farther away and take the children on an island tour. Hong Changqing's comprehension ability is enough, but his body can't keep up, saying that it is training, in fact, he is also practicing mast climbing and learning navigation systems. Moreover, the degree of automation of this sailboat is too high, and many basic skills cannot be practiced, at best, it is familiar with the sea conditions.
The ancients often said that the boat capsized in the gutter, and this time the flood unfortunately caught up. I also blame his habitual thinking and this too automated ship, after setting the course, this thing will go by itself, and the small rotation of the sail and the lifting of the sail are controlled by the central computer, which is really automated.
After a long time, Hong Tao was a little paralyzed and careless, and simply left the bridge and went to the bow of the boat to look at Anna. This child is still too young, and when he is happy to play, he does not know hot and cold, and he gets sick easily. Hong Changqing sat on the back deck, and now his seasickness reaction is not too serious, and he doesn't need to be taken care of by adults when he puts on his seat belt.
However, Hong Tao forgot that there are many busy commercial routes around Hong Kong Island, not only large cargo ships entering and leaving, but also many fishing boats and civilian boats. Autonavigation systems can avoid large boats, but they can't do anything against small boats, especially low speedboats.
"Bang ......" was sitting on the bow of the boat with Anna in his arms and watching the sunset, and Hong Tao was almost thrown out by a huge momentum, that is, the bow side of the ship was relatively strong, so the father and daughter did not fall into the sea. But Hong Tao's right arm was also hit by the sideboard, but he finally protected Anna's head, and his daughter seemed to be fine except for fright.
"Evergreen! Evergreen!" "The fact that the daughter is okay does not mean that the son is fine, judging from Hong Tao's experience, this loud noise came from the stern of the boat, and it is very likely that the ship was collided. He didn't have time to see if it was a collision or not, so he trotted with Anna in his arms and came to the stern along the starboard side.
It was indeed a collision, and a speedboat about forty feet in length skimmed the stern of the sailboat. It may be that the boat was too fast, and it was backlit, and the driver was dazzled by the setting sun and did not notice the sailboat sailing on half-sail.
When I found it, I couldn't dodge it, and the port side hit the stern of the sailboat diagonally. Like a cutter, most of the stern superstructure was cut off, and debris was covered with tracks.
Hong Tao couldn't see how the other party was injured, and the speedboat didn't seem to have any intention of slowing down, and was still running wildly to the northeast. Looking at the waves coming from its tail, Hong Tao probably guessed why it hit the boat and didn't stop.
The other party is likely to be a big flyer, with four high-power thrusters installed in the tail. This kind of speedboat is generally used by smugglers, and it can easily run to a speed of 50 knots, even if it is discovered by a smuggling boat at sea, it doesn't matter, it really can't catch up.
Of course, don't expect it to stop the boat to deal with water traffic accidents, as long as it doesn't sink, you have to run, otherwise it's not just a traffic accident.
Fortunately, the big fly was fast and the draft was shallow, almost running close to the water, and even though the impact was quite strong, it did not cause fatal damage to the main structure of the sailboat.
Except that the water structures and decks were smashed, the leakage was not serious. At this point, Hong Tao had already glanced at it when he went into the cabin to find Hong Changqing, and he hoped that his son would be lazy for a while, and run to the cabin to rest without telling himself, not at the stern.
It's a pity that his wish was disappointed, Hong Changqing was still obedient as always, even if he was very resistant to his orders, he would not disobey him, and there was no figure of him in the cabin.
"Break the Nima boat!" Hong Tao was anxious at this time, and wanted to turn the sailboat around and go back to find his son who had fallen into the water.
However, the navigation and autopilot systems did not work, and even a lot of electric equipment was stopped, and if you wanted to turn around, you had to use the emergency manual system.
The disadvantages of too high a degree of automation are evident at this time, and when automatic driving is not possible, manual systems are too inefficient to be counted. This is why sailboats that sail long distances are generally not equipped with too much autopilot and sailing equipment, and the stability is too poor to save lives at critical moments.
Hong Tao dragged a painful right arm, and with great effort, when the sailboat turned around, it was already thousands of kilometers away from the accident site. Fortunately, the currents and winds are not strong today, otherwise it would be difficult to find the exact location of the accident.
"Son...... Evergreen ...... "Swinging the sail line and turning the searchlight at the same time, Hong Tao steered the clumsy sailboat back and forth in circles at the accident site. Every time he turned around, his physical strength was lost, and his heart was cold.
Hong Changqing can swim, but the water is very average, and he can last a little longer in the rivers and lakes, but when he reaches the sea, even if the wind and waves are calm, he has to be greatly discounted.
Besides, he has to say whether he has all the beards and tails at this time. With such a big impact, the child may have been knocked out. If that's the case, his life will be in jeopardy.
At this time, I have to thank Hong Tao's enlightenment coach who played sailing, Eliza, who was far away in Toronto. The first thing she taught Hong Tao was that no matter when, as long as the ship was sailing and people were on deck, they had to put on a life jacket.
Because of this rule, Hong Tao was not less scolded, and he was very impressed, almost to the level of instinct. Therefore, Hong Changqing and Anna are wearing life jackets, and even if they lose consciousness after falling into the water, they will float on the sea. Coupled with the reflective strip of the life jacket, it is very conducive to search and rescue.
When the "puff ......" turned to the third circle, Hong Tao finally found that there was a reflection of the reflective strip on the sea, and he didn't have time to wait for the boat to stop, so he only lowered the sail and jumped into the sea, swimming towards the faint light.
It was indeed Hong Changqing, who had lost consciousness and was drifting with the tide only by the buoyancy of his life jacket. Hong Tao didn't bother to check his son's injuries, put the safety hook on his life jacket, gritted his teeth and swam in the direction of the sailboat.
After tossing for so long, his own physical strength was almost exhausted, and coupled with the injury to his right arm, he might not be able to return to the ship if he delayed for another minute.
Artificial respiration, chest and lung resuscitation, carrying the foot to control the water, slapping the back! All the tricks that can be used Hong Tao have tried several times one by one, but Hong Changqing, who was lying on the deck, still had his eyes closed, he couldn't breathe at all, and his body was getting colder and colder.
It is not the first time that Hong Tao has come into contact with a drowning person, and he knows this state well, and the child may not be saved. Although there are no obvious injuries on his body, it can be seen whether there are any internal injuries.
"It's over, it's over...... How can I open my mouth with her......" After sending the distress signal, Hong Tao collapsed directly on the deck.
In addition to being physically exhausted, the feeling of losing a son also made him unable to exert a little bit of strength. Even if there was a Hong Anna waiting in the cabin to take care of herself, she couldn't get up.
Thinking of the scene after Jiang Zhuyi learned that his only son had killed him, he was even more disheartened. If that woman can not strangle herself on the spot, it will be fate, but don't expect her to do her best to help herself, she will probably become an enemy, and at the very least, a stranger.
