Chapter 1 The Missing Hainan Island
When the sky began to show the first rays of sunlight, many of the traversers had already woken up, the excitement of the crossing made them excited, and the wormhole that disappeared after the crossing last night was the topic of their conversation, although the vast majority of people did not see this spectacular scene in the cabin, but many people on duty on the deck or on the aft floor used mobile phones or cameras to shoot video recordings of the wormhole from multiple angles and heights. At this time, many people were gathered on the deck to watch a replay of last night's spectacular footage.
At this time, the executive committee had not yet given the order to sail the ship, the anchor was still lying deep on the seabed, and the people on the deck who had not watched the video were curiously huddled on the deck to watch the anti-smuggling ship in the distance, and pointed at it from time to time.
Xue Ziliang slept beautifully, and found that the sky had begun to dawn, so he hurriedly ran from the aft deck to the cabin, the cabin was filled with a thick smell of smoke, and several soldiers were sleeping on duty beds in a corner, with bullet bags on their backs and automatic rifles in their arms. He hurriedly opened the hatch and tried to fan it outside, but gave up when he found that nothing had happened.
"Can anyone else come in your cabin? Even mosquitoes were smoked to death, right? ”
Tang Xunliang, who was sitting still, took the cigarette away from his mouth, glanced back at Xue Ziliang who had just come in, and then mechanically turned his head to look at the correspondent on the side.
"Xiao Liu, has the communication been restored?"
The correspondent also turned the knob a few times and replied, "No." ”
Zeng Zhigang, who was holding a cigarette on the side, leaned the cigarette that was about to burn to his mouth and took a deep breath, threw it on the ground and stepped on it, and then angrily took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The above is still a signal search.
"It's dawn, and those people over there should make the next move." Xue Ziliang said to them, took out a telescope from the equipment cabinet on the side, and walked onto the foredeck. Tang Xunliang and Zeng Zhigang were stunned for a while, then stood up and took out a telescope and walked out.
The two people who walked out couldn't help but be stunned on the spot, on the right was the Leizhou Peninsula, and there was no one on the peninsula at all. It's not a sign of nobody, it's a sign that no one has ever existed at all.
Look at the location, it should be the Dengloujiao of Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, there should be a lighthouse here, here is the location of the Leizhou Peninsula deepest into the South China Sea, the fishing boats here are flowing here every day, there are large freighters, yachts, the shore in the distance are developed fields, and you can also see the highway and the vehicles that pass by from time to time on the road.
But at this time, there was nothing in the corner of the lighthouse, the beach they could see was very narrow, and the fields that had been developed could not be seen at all, and the conspicuous lighthouse with a height of 36 meters was gone. And at this time, on the sea surface, except for this 10,000-ton ship and a few relatively small ships next to it, there was nothing on the wide sea, and even a few seabirds could not be seen. The cape is also lined with mangrove forests, which stretch from the coast to the water.
The two of them couldn't help wiping their eyes at the same time, looking at each other, and couldn't help but wonder if they hadn't woken up. At this time, Xue Ziliang's voice came from the side. "I didn't expect China to have such a well-preserved mangrove ecosystem! It's hard to see in the 21st century. ”
Suddenly, the two of them discovered something wrong at the same time, Hainan Island on the port side was gone...... "Is this a trick?" How...... Why can't you see Hainan Island? Tang Xunliang knew what kind of place this was, and the port side should be able to see the lighthouse at Lingaojiao at this time, but now I don't talk about the lighthouse or Lingaojiao, and even the entire Hainan Island seems to have been moved away.
At this time, a noisy bird call came, and a large number of seabirds began to fly up from the mangrove forest on the side of the Leizhou Peninsula, among which seagulls and loons could be seen, they chirped curiously circling these boats, and from time to time there were people on the deck who were hit, and were hit by these randomly dropped "bombs" and jumped like thunder.
In the distance, an ugly big shelf was installed between the two cranes on the amidships of the 10,000-ton steamer, and the two armed policemen on duty were still staring at the 10,000-ton ship there. Tang Xunliang couldn't help but step forward and patted the shoulder of the person on duty, "Where is Hainan Island on our port side?" ”
The two armed policemen turned their heads in amazement, and they also realized that Hainan Island was gone. "I don't know...... I didn't take ......," muttered one of the armed policemen.
This made Tang Xunliang angry, "Can you take it?" "......It seems that these two armed policemen don't know when Hainan Island disappeared."
"I think that's the problem." Xue Ziliang on the starboard side spoke. "If memory serves, when we saw this fleet last night, it seemed like we suddenly saw a blue light around us, and then it seemed like it was going dark. We were so focused on the flotilla that we didn't notice our surroundings, and I remember that last night there were no shore lights on either side. Maybe that's why they let us wait until dawn? ”
Tang Xunliang and Zeng Zhigang, who didn't sleep well, still had a short circuit in their brains, and they didn't understand what Xue Ziliang was talking about. "What is the reason?"
"What is the reason? The reason is that as soon as the morning dawns, we see a strange world. As he spoke, he pointed to the birds in the sky. These seabirds are obviously not afraid of people, they are obviously very little harassed by humans, and this number is not too much for the Chinese coast in the 21st century? ”
"Captain! There's a boat coming over there! The armed police on duty on the bridge shouted loudly. Several people looked in the direction of his finger, and a rope ladder had been lowered on the 10,000-ton ship at some point, and there were seven or eight people sitting on each lifeboat, and it was obvious that some people were carrying weapons. As the sound of the motor broke the silence of the sea, the lifeboat pushed away the waves and sped towards the direction of the anti-smuggling boat.
"Get ready! Xiao Liu, go and call out all the people who are resting in the cabin! Tang Xunliang hurriedly ordered. Xiao Liu ran to the rear cabin, and after a while, five or six armed policemen also rushed to their positions with weapons.
"Prepare your weapons, don't load them, and see what they're going to do." Tang Xunliang issued a new order, they were in the anti-smuggling boat built of steel plates, and the other party was on a completely unprotected lifeboat, if the other party dared to shoot first, his side was absolutely confident that he would completely annihilate these people. But since people are coming close to each other like this, they should have the conditions to negotiate, and they can't withdraw now, and they can't contact the support of their superiors, so they might as well see what they want to do first.
A few minutes later, one lifeboat shut down and stopped fifteen meters away from the lifeboat, and the other drove next to the anti-smuggling boat. It was obvious that the people on the lifeboat were a little nervous, but neither of them spoke, and after looking at each other for a few minutes, Tang Xunliang decided to break the silence and asked them, "What is the matter with you?" ”
The man on the lifeboat laughed. "We're supposed to be asking you, right? You were the ones who stopped us for inspection. ”
In the distance, the roar of a crane sounded from the 10,000-ton freighter, and everyone couldn't help but look up at the amidships, on which a white converted seaplane was hoisted, and the clumsy operator finally placed the plane correctly on the large shelf with the help of many people who were on the side. Then someone started shouting slogans and pushing the plane over the tail of the big shelf.
"What are you doing here?" After a night of thinking, Zeng Zhigang's mind was now numb, and his attention at this time was completely attracted by the movement on the 10,000-ton ship, and he couldn't help blurting out a question.
"Prepare a catapult reconnaissance aircraft." Du Yande replied with a smile. "Welcome to a new world, friends."
Hearing this sentence on the anti-smuggling boat, everyone was stunned for a moment, and turned their heads to look at Du Yande. At this time, Zeng Zhi just found out that the person in front of him, who was also wearing a green training uniform, was the black fat man who was holding a cardboard with the words "Crossing Trade" at the exit of the station. Du Yande nodded politely at him. "Hello! We should have seen it at the exit, right? I didn't expect to meet you in the new world. Can you let us on board? ”
This is Zeng Zhi just woke up to what he was here for, and hurriedly said: "You guys now quickly lay down your arms, surrender to us, and strive for leniency from the government." ”
Laughter came from the lifeboats. "I'm sorry, I think it's important for everyone to find out what's going on." A tall and thin man on the lifeboat spoke.
"We must now correct a wrong point of view, we are not in the People's Republic of China now, and the current time is not the 21st century AD, if you want to convert it to our era, it should be about 1628 AD, and the history is in the Ming Dynasty, but there is a lot of deviation in this world, this court is called the Wu Dynasty." Li Jieqi sat on the bow of the boat, popularizing the knowledge of this new world to them. "I think everyone should have found out, right? Hainan Island is gone. ”
Tang Xunliang couldn't help but nodded, but shook his head in disbelief, "Don't bewitch the public, how can we be in the Ming Dynasty?" Hainan Island must be here, and it must have been covered by you in some way. ”
"We also want to have this ability, if we can land on Hainan Island at this time, it will be a miracle that we can't ask for. If it weren't for the fact that you were too anxious to track us down, we would have planned to choose a landing site after the mapping and exploration of the world was completed now. As a result, now I have to catch the ducks on the shelves and temporarily use airplanes to reconnoiter the surrounding waters. Du Yande explained with a smile, "We are really people in the same boat now, and you can only cooperate with us at this time." ”
