Chapter 456: Sacramento in Phuket
Su Yan found a comfortable place to lie down on the huge helicopter platform in the stern of the Sacramento-class integrated supply ship, resting his head on his hands with his fingers crossed. Phuket in November has entered the most suitable time of the year for vacation, the warm morning sun of the Indian Ocean sprinkled on Su Yan's face, the warm sea breeze with a faint salty smell blowing on his face, Su Yan felt that his one-way adventure trip has finally had a good start, well, if the group of people who are almost arguing in the restaurant can quickly reach a consensus, then things will be more comfortable.
"Yo, brother, why don't you go to the restaurant to vote?" A voice woke Su Yan from his half-dazed pretend sleep.
Su Yan lazily opened his eyes, and after briefly adjusting to the light, he found that the owner of the voice was a short and tight one, and he was groping for his pockets with both hands holding a cigarette.
"Are you tired of living? There's a lot of flour on the deck, don't you die! Su Yan was frightened by this Humpty Dumpty's actions, and broke out in a cold sweat.
The Sacramento-class integrated supply ship usually uses the UH-46 "Sea Knight" helicopter to lift dry cargo to the replenished ship, and the ship is usually stacked with a lot of packed dry cargo on the helicopter platform in the stern of the ship when it is in operation. Su Yan's Sacramento-class integrated supply ship with the Arabic numeral number 4 happened to be piled up on the helicopter platform, and it was not difficult for Su Yan to see from the English logo on the outer packaging that the pile of materials contained dry goods such as rice, soybeans, and flour. A large amount of flour dust can explode violently when it encounters an ignition source, and although the helicopter platform in the stern of the ship is well ventilated, who can guarantee that the pile of flour will not explode when it encounters sparks?
"That pile of flour, huh? I don't know English! Damn, there's no place to smoke on such a big ship, and Jinnyima is suffocating me. Hearing Su Yan's words, Humpty Dumpty quickly stopped fumbling with the lighter on his body, and kept complaining about the ubiquitous no-smoking signs here.
"Nonsense, this is a warship, you still think this is a cruise ship, and you have to have a smoking room!?" Su Yan complained.
"Warship!? Can't you, I don't look like this ship? Humpty Dumpty looked around, and felt that the ship did not look like a warship with naval guns and missiles as he had remembered.
"This is an integrated supply ship, carrying at least tens of thousands of tons of fuel and all kinds of ammunition, where do you think you shouldn't smoke?" Su Yan said with a blank look at Humpty Dumpty.
"Hey, that's a lot of fuel and ammunition! Aren't we sitting on a big bomb? Humpty Dumpty gasped when he heard that he was about to smoke next to a super bomb.
"My name is Zhang Jinshan, brother, what is your surname?" Seeing that Su Yan was about to close his eyes again, Zhang Jinshan hurriedly put on his close, the cigarette was no longer smoking, if no one chatted with him again, he would definitely suffocate to death.
"Su Yan. Anyway, hasn't the group of people in the restaurant come up with a result yet? Su Yan asked.
"Tsk, it's early, it's all a group of young people who are the eldest and my second, and no one is convinced, if it weren't for the stools in the restaurant being welded to the deck, several people might have been stoned to death." Zhang Jinshan Nunu said.
"You've taken refuge here?" Su Yan asked.
"No, I'm just an uneducated small contractor, where people choose the captain and first mate of the ocean-going ship, I don't understand what they say, so I won't join in the fun. Isn't there a lot of cargo in the stern of this ship that no one is looking at, so I will send myself over. Zhang Jinshan said.
"What kind of goods do you see, can someone climb up to steal something from such a high ship's side? Take a good look in the sun and enjoy it, if you don't cross it, you can't get it if you don't come here to bask in the sun and blow the sea breeze, and you can't get tens of thousands of soft girl coins. Besides, lying on the helicopter platform of the world's largest integrated supply ship, even if you have a lot of money, you have to get the US Navy to cooperate with you. Su Yan said.
"Brother Su, what kind of place is this, it will cost tens of thousands of dollars to bask in the sun?" Zhang Jinshan asked.
"Phuket, a resort, a place where wedding photos are produced!" Su Yan said.
Yesterday evening, Su Yan woke up to find himself on a boat in the waters off Phuket Island in the southeastern Andaman Sea in the Indian Ocean, where he and his ex-wife had spent the moon, and he could tell where he was by looking at the scenery on the island in the distance.
But before Su Yan could reminisce about the sweet old days, the people on the ship who woke up from their coma one after another began to have a fierce dispute over who should take the lead of the ship.
Su Yan had tried to get those who were in the middle of the argument to pay attention to the word mentioned in the text message that appeared on everyone's phone - war zone, but most people were convinced that no one would dare to attack the ship in the Indian Ocean, after all, the only four Sacramento-class integrated supply ships in the world are in the Eagle Sauce Navy.
Although these people are very divided on the issue of captains, they are all surprisingly unanimous on the issue of ship safety, and almost all of them have a mysterious confidence in the deterrent power of this Sacramento-class integrated supply ship, well, or rather, the deterrent power of the Eagle Sauce Navy.
Su Yan repeatedly stressed that the traversers should at least send enough men to serve as watchmen on the ship's guard posts, but the various factions eager to seize power did not want to see their own votes decrease, and people gathered in the ship's largest restaurant to fight for management seats.
However, the so-called election did not go well, and by the time Su Yan gave up persuasion and left the restaurant, none of them had agreed on the question of what percentage of votes were needed for the position of captain.
"Brother Su, look over there, there's a plane there!" Zhang Jinshan, a small bag foreman who had been scorched by the sun at the construction site for a long time, was not interested in the petty bourgeoisie of basking in the sun with his eyes closed, and he soon discovered that an airplane had appeared on the port side of the stern.
"Where? I'm rubbing, it's really a plane, it's troublesome! After Su Yan saw the ancient plane, he began to worry about the era he was in.
In fact, the traversers on the ship didn't immediately fall into that kind of brainless squirting of each other. When I first woke up, those who knew how to operate the radio equipment went to call for help, and those with some nautical knowledge were busy determining the position of the ship.
It's just that after not discovering any radio signals that don't belong to them, the traversers on this "Sacramento"-class integrated supply ship began to relax their vigilance. In the era before the invention of radio, even if the prestige of the Eagle Sauce Navy could not be relied on to deter Xiaoxiao, the size of this ship with a full load displacement of 53,600 tons alone could make people not want to invade.
When Su Yan saw the ancient plane, his first reaction was that the era they were living in was not what those who were obsessed with seizing power had estimated, and this era might not be the pre-radio era!
Could it be that the guy who claims to be familiar with the operation of radio communication equipment is mistaken, after all, there is a difference between the military radio used by the US military and the things he used to tinker with, Su Yan thought to himself.
Paralyzed, if you are really mistaken, then this plane will belong to that force? But don't be a World War II devil's plane, if that's the case, we'll have to abandon the ship and run away!
