Chapter 230: Outpost Anchorage
The storm was only a brief release of energy from the surface of the sea, which lasted only one day and one night, but it was the prelude, under the storm, all the ships were tied together with a strong rope that could pull a thousand tons of heavy objects, but there was still a hoist boat that looked sturdy, thrown down by the 20-meter-high waves, and broke in two, and nearly a thousand of the 2,000 crew members on board fell into the water.
Putting the two half-intercepted ships into the ability space, Tianming only rescued more than 1,300 people, and the remaining 700 people were killed, and the number of ships in the fleet increased from 12 to 11.
The "Little Winter" Ark was too small, and after the storm came, Tianming included this ark in the ability space, so the crew density of the other 10 ships increased by an average of 130 people.
"It's just a small storm, and if you go further south, these gourd ships will definitely not be able to hold on, and if a few more are sunk, even if I rescue most of the people, the other ships won't be able to accommodate so many crews."
After the storm stopped, taking advantage of the sunny weather, Tianming returned to the base.
"Guy Gao, do you have any radio transmitters or anything like that, like the kind of telegraph that can send SOS distress signals on fishing boats, get me a few of them."
After Tianming came to the communication research institute of the base, he said his request.
"Radio transmitters? Is there this, do you want to encrypt it or not? Encrypted ones can't be provided, and unencrypted wireless telegraphs can give you two. "A high-level expert who is fiddling with a signal conversion device.
"How's the power? At what distance can it be received? ”
"With a power of 300 watts, the signal can be received from 800 kilometers away thanks to a non-directional rotation device inside guò, and the battery can only be used for two months, but two hand-cranked generators can be included."
"800 kilometers, this distance is okay, two months is about the same, you hurry up and give it to me." I'm going to have two. ”
"Yes, but you have to do some work for me, help me research and build a quantum communication device, and then give it to me when I'm done."
"Don't bother! I have something very important to do, and I have something to say when I come back, okay? I'm short on time! Tianming said impatiently.
The high expert was stunned by Tianming's roar, and had to say: "Okay, but you must remember this matter, it's too difficult to find you for some help." ”
Soon, Tianming got two telegraphs that looked like black boxes, because his aerospace plane had radar signal receiving devices. Once he receives a signal from the black box, he can quickly determine the location of the black box.
Then I went to the fuel depot at the base to pump 1,500 tons of diesel, and after a delay of half a day to deal with everything, Tianming hurried back to Blue Mercury.
……
"Fortunately, the storm hasn't come yet."
Tianming felt a little lucky, although the wind and waves became a little bigger, God still left him some time.
Elder Maijia was called over, and Tianming said to him, "Old Mai, in order to avoid unnecessary losses. I'm going to send some of the small boats and some of the people to the south first, and arrange them in a safe place, including your two big gourd boats. ”
When Tianming spoke to Elder Maiga, he was afraid that he would not understand. He also opened a big hole in the ability space, pointed to a ship, and made a flying gesture to cover it up. It means to take the boat to the south.
Elder Maiga was a little excited, "Yes, completely, so that we can reduce a lot of losses!" ”
"Old. Or you can go to the south and wait for me, the Lidong is too big, I can only drive it over, and the whalebone ships such as the Xia and Nuanchun will also have to be towed over. ”
"No, I'm going to stay on this ark, this ship is the most important thing, it's hard for you to drive the ship to the south alone. And this boat is where all hope is, I can leave my fish, but I can't leave this boat, I'm not at ease. ”
The two groups of whales domesticated by Elder Maiga were released by him, the waves were too big, and it was also a great challenge for these whales, in order to prevent damage, Maiga released them all a few days ago, and watched those whales "bleating" and calling out to not go, "Go back to the safety of the sea!" Under a few reprimands from Maiga, the whales still reluctantly left, and the people who watched the scene were moved to tears.
"The Ark of the Little Winter will also be brought to the south, you can just wait for me in the south, and there will be no problems with the Lidong." Tianming said to Elder Maiga.
Elder Maiga still refused, the importance of the Lidong was higher than that of Yiqiē, and he had to hold on to this ship.
There was no way, Tianming could only hand over the task of leading the small fleet to the south to garrison Jin Guazi, and he agreed very neatly.
After turning on the radio black box placed in the Lidong, a 100-meter-long gourd ship on the sea surface was put into the ability space, occupying 30,000 cubic meters of space, and then the golden melon seeds and more than 2,000 people were placed in a large 10,000 cubic meter ability warehouse, and then the sky was piloted by the aerospace plane, which entered space to accelerate, and flew a long distance at 10 times the speed of sound in space, and it took three hours to reach the South Pole, which was 24,000 kilometers away.
Found a very calm sea area, Tianming was just about to put the gourd boat on this sea, but Tianming saw in the sky, there were many scattered ships on the nearby sea, and Tianming, who felt very unsafe, found a calm bay surrounded by icebergs, but found that there were many ships in the bay.
Even, farther out on the sea, Tianming saw a huge ark, and even 500 kilometers away, its outline could be clearly seen.
Because next to this ark, there are thousands of other types of ships.
From the air, the waters near the Antarctic ice sheet are indeed much calmer than the Arctic, but the various forces are far more than the Arctic, only in the range of 1,000 kilometers, Tianming found four or five different forces, some of which are still fighting at sea, fiercely fighting for territory.
Antarctica is not a place of peace.
"Forget it, let's find a corner on the edge of the South Pole first, put a few ships there, and when all the ships come over, we can swallow these guys one by one."
Turning the plane around, finally, near 66 degrees south latitude, Tianming found a shallow water area, the water depth of this sea area may be less than 100 meters, you can clearly see the white sediment on the bottom of the sea, this shallow water area is also relatively large, from the sky, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of water, are presented as pure white, it looks very conspicuous.
Walking around the sky over this sea area, except for a few small forces found in the south, there are no large forces, Tianming found a calm sea with no ships within a radius of 300 kilometers, released the gourd ship in the ability space, fixed the gourd ship with an anchor, and used this sea area as an outpost anchorage.
After a few more round-trips, except for the Lidong and the three whalebone ships, all the gourd boats, the Xiaodong Ark, and more than 20,000 people were all taken to the outpost anchorage by Tianming.
