Chapter 80: Baptism
Xinghai 5 and Xinghai 6 left port and headed for the open sea at a speed of 200 knots.
The scientific and technological level of the starfish and the earth has its own victory, and the technical industries related to navigation, such as ships, submarines, and offshore operations, are far beyond the earth, and relatively in some industries, such as aerospace, they are far inferior.
They didn't even understand what was going on on the planet they lived on, and they went to explore the vast universe?
The prosperity of the maritime industry is closely related to the exploration of the open sea in the past century, and all the advanced technologies of the association can be attributed to the progress of materials science, technological innovation accounts for only a small part, and the discovery of new materials depends on the exploration and development of the ocean.
This is also very understandable, if one day, the earthlings can find a material with a higher hardness than titanium tungsten alloy and a simpler manufacturing process, it will definitely be a historic breakthrough in the military industry.
And in Starfish, such a breakthrough occurs almost once every decade.
Chen Bin looked out of the narrow window at the sea. The blue sea is not suitable as a frame of reference, and when you are in the ship, looking at the waves and sparkles, you can hardly perceive the relative speed of the ship and the sea, and only the dolphin that occasionally jumps out of the water disappears from the end of sight in the blink of an eye, and it is suddenly clear that the Star Ocean is sailing at an incredible speed.
This is the first time that Chen Bin has officially sailed by boat since his two lifetimes, but he knows very well that a ship with a speed of 200 knots may not be able to build a ship with a speed of 200 knots even if it is given to the earthlings for another two centuries.
Chen Bin thought, maybe the Xinghai itself is a sea monster, or rather, the remains of a sea monster, the R&D department just filled this skeleton with flesh and nerves, and the equipment department used precise needles and threads to stitch up the wounds, and a secondary ship with ocean-going navigation capabilities was born.
The three girls were noisy in the lower bunk, and the girls who sailed away were really tough, and they were not taboo in front of Chen Bin, and Chen Bin blushed when he heard the messy conversation.
He got up from sleep, lay down on the bed for a while, and then excused himself from the cabin.
The narrow aisle only allows two people to pass side by side, and if it is two strong men like Meng Dashan, it is estimated that they will have to be sideways. At this time, in front of the cabin doors on both sides of the aisle, there were bored recruits, almost all chatting and farting.
Chen Bin walked towards the dining area.
He had a vague feeling strange: there seemed to be very few combatants on board, at least he had made it all the way to the dining area, and had not met a few. Maybe on duty, he thought.
The dining area was almost overcrowded, and the already modest space seemed even more cramped.
"Uncle Chen!" a man with a big back beckoned to him
Chen Bin hesitated, walked over, and immediately gave up half of his seat, He Junyao smiled and said, "What's the matter, are you in a better mood?"
Chen Bin sat down with a long effort, and said angrily: "Move inside." Then he looked at He Junyao and said, "It's okay, at least I have made up my mind, and I won't hesitate anymore." What about Lu Ban?" he said perfunctorily, and quickly changed the subject.
He Junyao said: "Lu Ban was taken a fancy to, and now the conversation is hot, and we don't want to be light bulbs, so we slipped out." ”
Jiejiegao immediately added: "He pulled me out, I really want to see the follow-up development...... You say, they won't be unable to hold on, although everyone is brothers, it's still a bit disgusting. ”
He Junyao rolled his eyes: "Don't treat others with yourself, do you think everyone is the same as you?"
He pursed his lips and tore open a bag of nutrient solution and drank it. In addition to the nutrient solution, the meals served in the dining area are one-day pills, and most people of course choose the inexpensive and high-quality nutrient solution.
"By the way, have you noticed anything?" Jie Jiegao's face suddenly became mysterious.
Chen Bin asked curiously: "What did you notice?"
Jiejie raised his hand and pointed to the top of his head, and said in a low voice, "There is something on our heads." Don't look!" he whispered to the two who looked up, "you can't see it, don't draw attention." ”
Chen Bin asked, "What is it?"
"I don't know. "I can only see a huge amount of energy, the whole ship has it, but the strongest one above my head, probably a shield or something, if this thing really exists." ”
"It's probably a protective shield, the association has more than 100 years of maritime history, and it is not surprising that there is such technology. There are still a few hours to go out of the safe sea area, and set up first in case of accidents. He Junyao said.
Chen Bin also nodded, thinking that he had found something amazing, which made him worry for a while, but it turned out that this big back was playing tricks again.
After chatting in the dining area for a while, Meng Dashan's assistant drove everyone back to the cabin.
"Do you have a sense of time!!, all of them go back to my room and sleep!" he said.
Chen Bin lay back on the bed, the three girls seemed to have endless gossip, and soon, the lights in all the cabins went out, and the entire living area fell into darkness. The girls also went to bed separately, but there was still a conversation between them and a match.
"Chen Bin!"
Chen Bin was stunned, and when he heard the position of the voice, he should be the same as Zhang Hanzhi.
Zhang Hanzhi asked, "Do you know what baptism is?"
Chen Bin replied casually: "I don't know, why did you ask me?"
"Because you have a good relationship with Captain Zuo, I thought he would tell you. ”
"He didn't tell me. ”
The conversation ended, and the three girls chatted again.
Chen Bin's eyes widened in the dark, he made up for sleep during the day, and he didn't feel sleepy at this time. He looked at the time. After sailing at sea for almost 15 hours, it should be almost out of the safe sea, and it is a bit illogical to let everyone sleep at this time.
How the baptism was carried out has not been said until now, and Chen Bin suddenly felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart, and his intuition told him that something would happen this night.
The girls suddenly stopped talking, only three steady breaths came and went, drowsiness seemed to be contagious, listening to the girls' breathing, Chen Bin's eyelids gradually became heavy, he struggled for a while, and finally couldn't resist the sleeping demon, and slowly closed his eyes.
......
Command room.
The assistant reported to Meng Dashan: "The recruits have all returned to their rooms, and the Xinghai has also gone out of the safe sea. ”
Meng Dashan asked, "What is the concentration of [fog]?"
"The concentration is thirty-five percent of the threshold," the assistant said. ”
Meng Dashan said: "Go further, stop at about fifty, and close the protective shield. ”
......
Chen Bin was awakened by the heat in his sleep, and he opened his eyes suddenly: "It's so hot!" He sweated like rain, and the shadow had excellent hydrophobic and water-insulating functions, but at this time it became a burden, and the sweat was locked in his clothes, hot and sticky, as if he had been drenched in a sugary soda.
"Why is it so hot?"
The cabin was so hot that it almost set the air on fire.
"Help, save me—"
He suddenly heard a faint female voice, it was Zhang Hanzhi. He stared, something was wrong, there was only one breath left in the cabin! Turning over and getting out of bed, the temperature of the lower bunk was even higher, and Wang Ruoyun and Qin Zijun, who were originally sleeping in the lower bunk, disappeared. On the empty bed, only two pools of damp water remained.
"Save—"
He didn't have time to think about it, jumped to the top bunk, Zhang Hanzhi's hand stretched out weakly, as if he wanted to grasp the last straw.
Chen Bin held her boneless hand—it was so soft that he felt that he was not holding a hand, but a human skin filled with water!
It's hot!
Zhang Hanzhi's hands were so hot that the heat was enough to make the water boil and burn his skin instantly, he gritted his teeth and secretly used the power of the elements, but in the high heat environment, the liquid water was almost evaporated, and he couldn't cool down through the three-state change at all.
Zhang Hanzhi opened her eyes slightly, for her, this has used all her strength, she stared at the young man in front of her, in the dark night, she couldn't see his face clearly, she couldn't read his expression, but she could understand the young man's panic from the slightly trembling hand she was holding.
"Chen, Chen Bin—" She was so angry that her voice was almost inaudible, "I—I'm going to die?"
"No, you won't-"
"Bang!"
Like a water balloon that suddenly exploded, Zhang Hanzhi turned into a scorching mist, and the water stains splashed Chen Bin's head and face, and also soaked the bed under him.
Chen Bin stared blankly at his trembling palm, the weak and boneless hand became the water in his palm, which quickly evaporated in the high temperature.
A word "dead" stuck in his throat forever.
Is this baptism?
"!"
Chen Bin slammed his fist on the bed.
"Boom knock!"
The bunk bed collapsed and shattered to the ground.
Before he could be shocked by his sudden surge in strength, there was a boom that shook the sky, as if something huge had hit the Xinghai, the hull of the ship turned up suddenly, Chen Bin's feet were unstable, and he rolled directly into the hatch.
"Whoa!"
There was a flash of lightning outside the window, and the night was bright, and in this fleeting light, dozens of figures rushed to the surface of the sea, and the sea water was turbulent and tumbling, as if boiling.
Chen Bin stumbled out of the cabin and rushed onto the deck, He Junyao, Jiejiegao, Lu Renlong and a group of surviving recruits were already on the deck, everyone looked at the sea with solemn faces.
Chen Bin also fell silent. I saw that on the surface of the sea, the turbulent tumbling was not the waves, but countless sea monsters, they frantically rushed towards the two Star Seas, like a long-dormant beast smelling blood, and a steady stream of them emerged from the sea, and actually raised the sea surface by three feet!
"Whoa!"
Another flash of light, not lightning, was a flare fired by the Star Ocean, which had apparently been hit hard by the previous impact, not only could it not be activated, but even the lighting system was damaged.
In the bright light, I saw Meng Dashan leading dozens of combat soldiers who went out to sea with the ship to fight with the fish tide, and the monstrous wave smashed the sea monsters that rushed up one after another, but the huge number of sea monsters was not afraid of death, and there were a hundred on top when they died, and the strong smell of blood in the air seemed to stimulate their bloodthirsty instincts, roaring and roaring, and rushed towards Meng Dashan one after another.
"Whoa!"
Meng Dashan once again evoked a huge wave seven or eight meters high, slamming the vicious sea monsters into the debris of the waves.
There was a loud rumbling sound in the distance, which was the attack of Xinghai 6 on the fish tide, but Xinghai 6 was gradually moving away, and it seemed that it had given up on Xinghai 5, whose power system was damaged, and tried to return to a safe area.
"Everyone, meet in the middle of the port side!Everyone, in the middle of the port side!Everyone, in the middle of the port side!"
The announcement of the captain's assistant resounded throughout the ship, and the recruits who had no master of the six gods rushed to the port side.
When he came to the port side, Chen Bin saw the only light in the dark night from a distance, and the light was crowded with the crew of Xinghai No. 5, including combat soldiers, ordinary sailors of HNA, and more recruits.
At the same time that Meng Dashan led the crowd to resist the onslaught of the sea monsters, the captain had already put down more than a dozen escape boats, and at this time, regardless of the order, except for the sailors who still needed to climb the cables and go down in turn, the recruits all jumped out and jumped into the motorboats.
Chen Bin and He Junyao got on the same boat, and soon, their motorboat was bought by recruits.
"Boom!"
Xinghai No. 5 tilted again, this time nearly 30 degrees, Chen Bin looked at this crumbling steel beast, a little out of breath. The sailors who climbed on the hull of the ship fell into the sea one after another, but fortunately, the recruits below were quick and used the power of the elements to rescue the people who fell into the water one by one.
The only combatant started the motorboat, and suddenly a foreign object slammed into the water near the motorboat, splashing several meters high. The combat soldiers immediately put on a posture of preparation, and with a bang, a burly figure broke out from under the water, it was Meng Dashan.
He gasped and scolded, "What are you doing in a daze, don't get out of here!"
"Boom!"
Xinghai No. 5 was about to flip over, Meng Dashan stood on the water, his hands were raised, and the hundreds of meters long waves went up against gravity, resisting the huge body of Xinghai No. 5.
More than a dozen motorboats carrying recruits and sailors immediately fled at full speed, and the assistant jumped on the last motorboat and looked at Meng Dashan: "Captain——"
"Get out of here!"
Meng Dashan exerted all his strength to straighten the inclined Xinghai No. 5, and then with a backhand wave, the waves swelled and patted the last motorboat away.
The assistant stood at the tail, and in the last picture, eight tentacles reaching through the sky stretched out from the sea, tightly wrapping Xinghai No. 5, and hundreds of thousands of sea monsters jumped out of the sea and rushed to the burly body that was still standing on the surface of the sea.
As soon as the assistant fell into the motorboat, he muttered, "It's an A-class sea monster...... It should be in the [Deep Blue Sea], how can it be here?"
