Chapter 1: Going to Sea
"Uhhh
"Uhhh
At the beginning of the morning, a low whistle resounded throughout the Dongzhou fishing port, and thousands of large and small fishing boats let out a cheerful roar, sailing away from the coast in groups and heading towards the East China Sea.
"Mazu bless, safe journey."
"The god of the sea is on top, let the fishing boat harvest the full cabin."
"The dragon king blesses, the people and ships are safe, and the fish is abundant."
On the wharf of the fishing port, many family members of the crew and the owners of the fishing company brought incense, wine, meat, paper money, oil candles, firecrackers, while paying tribute to the Mazu sea god and dragon king, while praying for blessings, some for peace, some for fish, a noisy scene.
This is a scene that took place at the Donghai Fish Port in Dongzhou City, Huaguo, at 6:18 a.m. on July 3, 2015, the day after the end of the East China Sea fishing moratorium.
Dongzhou City is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River in the southeast of China, with the largest natural fishing port and the largest number of fishery companies in China, and is the largest seafood product distribution center and dry goods processing center in China.
Amid the noise, thousands of fishing boats, large and small, quickly left the fishing port and scattered like a swarm of ants out to feed. The thousands of fishing boats running at the front, all of which are inshore fishing boats and distant-water fishing boats more than 30 meters long, flying the flag of China, like pioneers, sailing towards the deep sea.
"Wow-"
"Wow-"
On the 45-meter-long medium-sized offshore fishing vessel Heizhu, a young man in his twenties was crawling on the side of the boat and vomiting, but he was a little seasick because he was out to sea for the first time.
"Lin Fan, how is it? It's better after throwing up, right? A middle-aged man in his forties walked over and asked with a smile on his face as if he were standing still on top of the bumpy fishing boat, as if his feet were taking root.
"Oh, Uncle De, I'm fine. Wow-"
Lin Fan wiped the corners of his mouth, raised his head, and barely squeezed out a smile on his pale face, but just after answering, he turned his head and spit out on the side of the boat.
"When I saw you, I remembered when I first went to sea more than 20 years ago, and I vomited in the dark, but after vomiting, I was fine with a little rest.
You might as well go to the cabin and lie down and rest for a while, and when your body adjusts to the fluctuations of the sea, your head will not be dizzy. "Zhang Zhide is the first mate on the ship, burly, bearded, looks mighty and fierce, but in fact he is good to people.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle De, I'll go lie down for a while." When Lin Fan felt that there was nothing left to vomit, he breathed a sigh of relief and went to the cabin.
"Go, we will not arrive at our destination in two or three days, you can rest assured." Uncle De looked at Lin Fan's figure and said loudly in the back.
Back in his cabin, Lin Fan lay down, his body rising and falling with the rocking of the fishing boat, and gradually the stuffiness in his heart disappeared, but his eyes stared at the ceiling for a long time.
Lin Fan, a 22-year-old junior at Dongzhou University majoring in marine command, signed up for the Heizhu offshore fishing boat as a temporary worker on the fishing boat for 20 days and a daily salary of 280 yuan.
"Lin Fan, although I think it's a pleasure to get along with you, but we are just classmates, there can't be anything else, that's all." A sweet-looking girl said to Lin Fan seriously.
"Hahaha, Lin Fan, you don't pee on yourself, a poor boy from a small place, and he also wants to pursue a white rich and beautiful second generation like Guo Yuer, it's just a toad who wants to eat swan meat."
A tall and handsome boy with a hint of evil in his eyes looked down at Lin Fan condescendingly, with a look of disdain on his face.
This is a scene that happened on the campus of Dongzhou University ten days ago, when Lin Fan confessed to Guo Yuer, a female classmate he had loved for three years, Guo Yuer politely rejected him.
However, after Zhao Tianlin, the rich second-generation who was also pursuing Guo Yuer, found out, he laughed at Lin Fan loudly in front of hundreds of classmates in the entire grade, making him embarrassed, and he signed up for the Black Bead to go to sea in frustration, in order to relieve the depression in his heart.
"Ahh
Lin Fan sighed softly, he didn't know what Guo Yu'er's family was doing before, but he had been chatting with her since he entered the university, and the two often sat together in class and chatted together, so he had a good impression of her.
It wasn't until that day that Zhao Tianlin laughed at Lin Fan in public that his brother Wang Biao, who was in the same bedroom, told him that Guo Yuer's family was a first-class family in China and had huge power in the military, politics and business.
Although Guo Yuer is only a side branch of this family, the people who want to pursue her are all children of major families, but no one has succeeded yet.
As for Zhao Tianlin, although his family background is not as good as the Guo family, his ancestors began to engage in the jewelry industry, and now there are dozens of jewelry chain stores across the country, with billions of family assets, and he thinks that he is worthy of Guo Yuer, who is a side branch of the Guo family, so he has been pursuing her, and he regards Lin Fan as a rival.
"Since we are not from the same world, then this relationship is over." Lin Fan muttered to himself in his heart, and then slowly fell asleep. The fishing boat rose and fell with the waves, making Lin Fan feel like he was back when he was a child, as if he was lying in a cradle.
Lin Fan, who was asleep, didn't know that as the fishing boat went deep into the sea, a faint light gradually flashed on his chest. The light was pale golden, flickering and flickering, and it was in harmony with his breathing, as if it were in harmony with the sound of the waves outside.
The flickering light was a piece of metal, only the size of a finger, with very complicated patterns on it, just like the nameplate on the soldier in the movie, with a small hole at one end, which was strung by Lin Fan with a red thread and hung on his neck.
This piece of metal was picked up by Lin Fan on the beach by the sea half a year ago, and the lines on it didn't know what it meant, and he didn't know what kind of metal it was, but he wasn't afraid of fire, couldn't corrode, and couldn't be cut, so he understood that this piece of metal was not simple, so he hung it on his chest.
In the past six months, Lin Fan has used it to do many experiments, including dripping blood to recognize the owner like in the novel, but he can't make it change at all, but he firmly believes that this piece of metal has an unusual origin, so he carries it with him and treats it as his treasure.
It's just that Lin Fan didn't notice that his sleep state has been surprisingly good in the past six months, he falls asleep quickly every night, never dreams, and wakes up every morning with a very full spirit, and even his memory seems to have increased.
At this time, as Lin Fan gradually fell asleep, the pale golden light emitted by the metal sheet slowly expanded, gradually enveloping his body. Lin Fan's face slowly turned rosy, as if the weakness caused by seasickness and vomiting before had slowly recovered under the conditioning of the pale golden light.
Lin Fan only felt that he was particularly relaxed, and the whole person fell into a deep sleep, the sound of breathing was clear and audible, unhurried, unhurried, and completely unable to feel everything in the outside world.
This state lasted for three days, and that pale golden light also shrouded Lin Fan for three days. It was only when someone came in to see Lin Fan that the pale golden light was hidden as if it could be known in advance, and it didn't reappear until people left.
Although Lin Fan slept for three days, the people on the boat did not worry about him, because many people went to see him and found that his breathing was calm, and he obviously slept very deeply, and there was nothing else.
At the moment when Lin Fan was about to wake up, the complicated patterns on the metal sheet suddenly lit up, and then an electronic synthesis voice sounded in his mind: "The authority of the captain of the Aliasai is activated, and the current authority is one percent, open the miniature power furnace of the Aliassai, in line with the primary security regulations, and send an escort team." ”
When Lin Fan was awakened by this sudden sound, the light on the metal plate on his chest was gradually falling silent, slowly returning to its original appearance, but its changes had been clearly seen by Lin Fan.
Thousands of kilometers away, deep in the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean, a few kilometers in front of the Fichaz Abyss, the deepest detected point in the world, lies a huge fault.
This fault is deeper than the Fichaz Abyss, and it is dark and full of deep blue colors. And at the moment when Lin Fan woke up, a little light suddenly emitted from a depth of two thousand meters below the fault, illuminating the surrounding seabed blue and faint, revealing a huge pyramid-shaped building, and the place where the glow was on the top of the pyramid.
This pyramid is hundreds of meters high, triangular in shape, silvery-white, and there is a clear layer on the tower every tens of meters, from the top to the bottom of a total of nine layers, and the light source is the first layer on the top.
Suddenly, a square gap was revealed in the second layer down from the apex of the pyramid, but the sea water could not be poured into it from the gap. A moment later, a long strip emerged from the square gap.
The object is about ten meters long and shaped like a barracuda, quickly rushing upwards from the bottom of the sea, leaving a water mark behind it, and its speed exceeds that of the fastest submarines and aircraft on the planet at present.
Then, the light on the top of the pyramid slowly dimmed, but it was not completely extinguished as before, but maintained a faint glow, illuminating the surrounding area of the pyramid.
"Boom-"
At this moment, there was a loud noise outside, and the fishing boat of the Black Bead shook violently, and then slowly regained its calm. It turned out that the fishing boat had already arrived at the place where the net was being fished, and the movement just now was made when the iron anchor was lowered.
Lin Fan, who was looking at the metal piece in a daze, hurriedly got up from the bed, and he found that not only was his mental state better than before, but his body was also filled with a powerful strength. It's just that he suddenly found that there was a layer of sweat stains sticking to his clothes, with a little yellow-black thing, and there was a kind of sour and stinky smell.
"Uncle De, have you arrived at the place?"
Lin Fan simply cleaned up his body, changed his clothes, and when he came to the deck, he saw Zhang Zhide directing everyone to clean the fishing nets, obviously preparing to go down the nets, and immediately walked over to help.
"Lin Fan, you kid is quite able to sleep, one sleep is three days." Zhang Zhide hadn't answered yet, and a young man next to him joked with a smile.
"Brother Tiger, I'll help you." Lin Fan saw that Li Hu was bare arms, rolling a rope with the thickness of his arm, and the muscles on his body bulged high, so he hurriedly went over to help.
"Haha, Lin Fan, can you move this little body?" Lin Fan just went over to help Li Hu, and a young man next to him who was checking the winch machine said with a smile, his name is Cai Xingming, and he has a few pimples on his face.
"I'll give it a try." Cai Xingming didn't laugh at Lin Fan, but joked with him, because the crew of the entire fishing boat was puzzled by Lin Fan, a college student, running to be a crew member, so Lin Fan just smiled, stepped forward and grabbed the cable to help Li Hu circle him.
Usually, Lin Fan's strength is not very large, but today it seems a little strange, as soon as he exerts his strength, the heavy cable actually swims quickly in his hand, like an ordinary grass rope, which shocked Li Hu.
"You kid can't see it, and his strength is not small." Li Hu was very happy, with Lin Fan's help, the cable that usually takes half an hour to be able to be looped, at this time, it only takes about ten minutes to get it, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Fan a few more times, his eyes were full of surprise.
"My strength has increased, is it related to the change in the metal piece?" In fact, Lin Fan's shock in his heart at this time was no less than that of Li Hu, but his face remained calm, but in his heart, he remembered the scene that happened when he woke up just now.
"I seem to hear a voice saying that the captain's authority has been activated, and a convoy team has been dispatched, what does that mean? Could it be that this piece of metal is not something on Earth, but something to do with alien spaceships? Lin Fan had always believed in the existence of aliens, so he thought of these instantly, which was completely consistent with the truth of the facts. >
