Chapter 325: Stormy Waves
The unbridled noise of the wind and waves was blocked by the ship's well-functioning hatch. Although there was not much sound to hear, just feeling the shaking amplitude in the war room gave everyone present a strong sense of psychological oppression.
After making a decision and blessing the chart room and the meteorological room to pay close attention, Chen Ming continued to brave the heavy rain and returned to the cockpit. Sailing in such a stormy environment, I am not in the cockpit, and I feel a little uneasy.
"How's it going?"
Holding on to the railing by the porthole, Chen Ming asked staggeringly. As for the captain's seat in the cockpit, whoever you love will go.
"It's still ....... now"
Before the word "good" could be spoken, Deputy Chief Zou saw Chen Ming flying in the air in front of him. Immediately, a late feeling of weightlessness made Deputy Chief Zou instantly react to what had happened.
Watching the ship break through the waves from the porthole of the cockpit is undoubtedly the most touching. I saw that the original rough waves at the front of the foredeck were replaced by a dark sky, and then a muffled sound of "poof" came.
The front of the ship, which was upturned by the waves, slammed the water. The blade-like bow of the ship cut like a sharp dagger into a soft mousse cake, and the waves stirred up flew high into the air on both sides of the warship as the boundary between the foredecks of the warship. Then it was like a basin of water, and it slammed into the foredeck with a sharp and messy sound.
"Do you think it's okay?"
Chen Ming, who had just stabilized his figure, looked at Deputy Chief Zou who was smiling bitterly and teased.
"Order, all the officers and men of the ship checked and fixed their backpack straps again to ensure that the backpack straps were tied and stable. At present, the wind force has exceeded 12, and as time goes by, the wind and waves we face will become stronger and stronger! ”
"Deputy Chief Zou, cab ....."
"Captain, be careful! Did you bring a backpack with you? ”
At present, in the cab, only Chen Ming has not fixed himself with a backpack belt. Although the officers and men had doubts, they did not have much to say.
But at this time, a sudden huge wave slapped on the starboard side of the ship's hull, and the capsizing in an instant made Chen Ming have no time to react at all. The man was almost about to slide and hit the door knob on the left side of the cockpit, and this change made the officers and soldiers break out in a cold sweat.
The larger the force area, the less damage to the body, this truth is understood by junior high school students. How could they not know that if Chen Ming accidentally hit the doorknob on his back just now, and hit the spine or spleen and other vital injuries seriously, God would bless him if he could fall half-paralyzed.
"It's okay, I brought it. Don't worry, I'll go check on the ship again. Sharp edges and corners must be wrapped. ”
Holding the handle in front of the console of the car clock, Chen Ming took two deep breaths, calmed his violently beating heart and spoke. Then he pushed the door straight and walked outside.
Theoretically, according to the rules of navigation in conditions of high winds and waves. All crew members were not allowed to jump into the cabin at will, and in addition to wrapping sharp corners in stormy weather, this basic operation was a basic operation that the officers and men knew what to do.
But Chen Ming always felt that if he didn't check it, his heart would not be steady. Thinking about the anti-vertigo training I received in the process of learning to fly, I went to each cabin to check, and it shouldn't be a big problem.
It's just that as soon as the front foot came out of the cockpit door, Chen Ming felt that something was wrong with the back foot.
It is often said that the greatest delusion of human beings is "I can do it". Just after a few words of dialogue between Deputy Commander Zou and the officers and soldiers, the external wind rose to an exaggerated level.
Although when he came, he was already soaked in the rain. There were also water droplets on his hair that kept dripping, but now Chen Ming tasted a salty taste in the water droplets dripping from his head. The unique taste of seawater.
This change also means that a lot of the precipitation on the head is currently being swept up into the sky by strong winds and then falling down.
It's just that he opened the bow and didn't look back, and Chen Ming, who had already come out, really didn't have the face to go back so gloomy. Holding on to the wall of the bridge, he slowly felt his way into the passage of the cabin.
"Knock~"
Hear the sound first, then feel the pain. Shaking off the Venus that appeared in front of him because his head suddenly hit the wall, Chen Ming gritted his teeth, opened the passage hatch, and quickly closed it after sneaking in.
The hull of the ship was still shaky, but it was finally free of the troubles of rain. The uncomfortable emotions in Chen Ming's heart also dissipated a little, and he held on to the railings on both sides of the passage with both hands, and slowly touched forward.
"Captain.....
"Shhhhh Take care to conserve your stamina. ”
As soon as he arrived at the crew's dormitory, Chen Ming saw that almost all the crew members were tying themselves to the bed with backpack straps. But that pale face, originally without saying a word, looked blank, and some people even had a lot of filth on the neckline of their chests, and their hearts were slightly uncomfortable.
The human heart is made of flesh.
Sailing in windy and rough weather, and fast sailing at night. At present, most of the officers and men who remain at their posts are veterans and cadres of various departments. The crew's dormitory is left to rest, and the soldiers who prepare for tomorrow's daytime voyage are mostly young conscripts or junior non-commissioned officers.
They are all eighteen or nineteen-year-old children, and many children of the same age as them just have to hide at home at this time, blowing the air conditioner, and complaining to the girl they like. And here they have to struggle with the physiological reactions of their bodies.
Don't say anything, because they're soldiers, so what's the matter. Although Chen Ming usually used the military uniforms they wore to yell at them and reprimand them when they were slack and lazy. But first people, then soldiers.
In such an environment, a normal person should have physiological reactions, and they will also have. There should be discomfort, and they feel a lot of it.
And all Chen Ming can do now is to stop them from talking, say hello, and let them get a better rest as much as possible. Although Chen Ming also knew that it would be difficult for them to fall asleep tonight.
After inspecting the most densely populated crew quarters to make sure that there are no sharp bumps in the corners. Chen Ming turned off the lights in the crew's quarters and walked out of the mixed-smelling and disgusting cabin.
Feeling the shaking of the ship's hull becoming more and more intense, Chen Ming had to give up the idea of inspecting all the key compartments. With two more bags on the head, I felt back to the cab.
"Captain, how's it going?"
Seeing Chen Ming come in, Deputy Chief Zou asked symbolically. In his heart, he thought that such a simple thing would not be bad for the fighters on the ship.
"I went to the dormitory, and the other cabins didn't have time to go. What is the wind like now? I feel that this typhoon is bigger than the weather forecast reports. ”
Even if Chen Ming did not speak to himself, the communication soldier was very clever to call the meteorological room as soon as he heard the content of Chen Ming's words. After receiving a positive answer, he immediately opened his mouth to report.
"Report to the captain, the wind force is currently 13, and it will soon reach 14 winds. The latest maximum wind forecast given by the meteorological office is 17 winds, the maximum wind force in the last five years. ”
