Chapter 267: Captain

Soon, the surroundings became silent, and Cheng Ziyang took Ning Xiao out of the car and boarded an oil tanker.

When Cheng Ziyang led the others to visit the oil tanker, Ning Xiao had already taken the system to visit the oil tanker. Obviously, this tanker is one of the three tankers that have been included in the space. Today, it's finally back where it should be.

At this time, the sun also converged its last rays. The hot air began to feel cool. A gentle breeze swept through thousands of acres of smoke. The oil tanker is like a big fish swimming in this vast sea. Suddenly, a full moon rose from the sea like a large red and yellow round mirror.

At this moment, there is no more light to support it. It became a bright treasure mirror and lost its dazzling brilliance. But the corner of the blue sky was still dyed by it in the color of apricot red. Therefore, it is still a particularly beautiful picture painted by Tiangong, and the impression it gives people still surpasses all the masterpieces in the world.

The higher the large round mirror rose, the smaller it became, and the lighter its red color became, and soon, when it was half a day, it became a bright moon. As a result, with the endless blue sky above and the endless blue sea below, this oil tanker has become a drop in the ocean.

Needless to say, the disc hanging in the sky is still the same every month, year after year. And Cheng Ziyang, Ning Xiao and others are just passers-by on this sea.

Being friends with the breeze and the moon, this kind of fun cannot be described in words. However, the only people who can really be friends with the breeze and the moon are those who take the sea as their home.

However, although you can't make the sea your home, it's a blessing to be a passer-by at sea.

After lunch, people walked around the plank and saw a red light hanging on a stone wall in the distance. Even though the red light is not on. Later, the tanker was gone for a long time, and the lamp on the stone wall was still in place. Didn't the tanker go? However, people clearly saw the oil tanker walking.

Later, this stuffy gourd was finally broken. The red light gradually grew larger, turning into a round mirror with a black belt around his waist. It continued to rise, breaking through the black clouds and rising into the air.

It was only then that Ning Xiao knew that it was a bright moon, and the stone wall that was previously thought to be was layers of black clouds.

"This tanker is really good," Cheng Ziyang admired Ning Xiao. "Judging from the use case, it should have been just out of the factory, and it was robbed by you."

"Oh, really?" Ning Xiao was also surprised. "I robbed it mainly for crude oil, not because it left the factory! There was really no way, I didn't have much money in hand at that time, and I couldn't afford to buy crude oil!"

"I know," Cheng Ziyang took Ning Xiao's hand and came to the railing. I don't know why, after the catastrophe of the last days, there are fewer and fewer fish on this sea, but there are more and more birds flying in the sky. "Actually, I'm quite grateful to you for hijacking these three oil tankers, which saved us a lot of effort. Especially later, without these crude oils, I would not have had the courage to swim all over the four frontiers of the southeast, northwest, and north. ”

"So, I said you're one of my koi fish, luck is always so good. Without spending a penny, I got three new oil tankers, and I also traveled all over China for free. ”

"Huh!" Ning Xiao was very happy when he heard this. "That's exactly what you say! It seems that sometimes robbing homes is not necessarily a bad thing!"

"However," looking at the railing, the sea breeze was blowing, but Cheng Ziyang's brows were furrowed. "The most difficult thing for me right now is, where do I find the captain who can take care of these three tankers?"

"Is it hard?" Hearing this, Ning Xiao also became interested. After all, these three tankers had been in her space. In a sense, there is a connection with her, a cause and effect.

"Well, it's hard!" Cheng Ziyang nodded. "Because this kind of captain candidate must not only have professional knowledge and practical experience, but also have the luck of koi like you."

"No, it won't!" At this time, Ning Xiao also felt that it was difficult to choose the captain. "Is it that complicated?"

At this moment, the rough sea sent them the reason why the captain was so difficult to choose.

It was more than 100 years ago on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a cargo ship "Fu Li" marked with the nationality of Huaxia Xiangjiang was sailing through the Strait of Malacca towards the Xiangjiang River.

The captain in charge of the "Fu Li" is surnamed Lai, whose name is Dinghang, and his ancestral home is in the mainland of China. At this moment, he accurately determined the position of the ship and talked to the captain on the phone: speed up the ship and strive to rush to Xiangjiang for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this time, the water is a deep blue, and the experienced captain of the top sail knows that the bottom of the sea is densely covered with tropical coral reefs. Seawater dissolves a large amount of calcium carbonate and turns its color cloudy.

Therefore, he specially instructed the staff on duty to set the course, and also marked the depth of the water on the chart, so that he returned to the cabin to rest with confidence. The crew members are also discussing with great interest how to choose gifts for their relatives and friends when they go home for the holidays.

The captain of the top voyage first carefully collected the ship model he bought for his son in country Y, and then wrote the logbook for the day, and then went to bed to rest.

"Boom!"

In the middle of the night, a loud bang woke people from their sleep.

It turned out that the bottom of the ship had hit a reef, and seawater poured into the engine room through a hole in the bottom of the ship. Next, the captain of the top sail led all the crew to immediately plug the leak and rescue it. The pump roared desperately. However, the influx of seawater continues unabated.

The "Fu Li" began to tilt and sink, and the situation was very critical.

The captain of the top sail boarded the wheelhouse, personally sent a distress telegram, and at the same time ordered to prepare to abandon ship and escape.

The whole crew gathered in the dining room, looking at the captain who was determined to die on the ship, and no one would leave. The captain of the top sail ordered everyone to board the lifeboat immediately, and entrusted a written will and ship model to the captain, asking him to bring it back to his family.

At this moment, the restaurant was silent, only the monotonous sound of the ancient pendulum clock "tick tick" could be heard. At this moment, a burst of pumping machines came from the engine room: a mechanic was still in the cabin.

So, without saying a word, the captain of the top sail rushed into the engine room, shouting: "Come up, I'll help you!"

When all the crew came to the plank and placed the lifeboat on the sea, the mechanic who had been holding on to the engine room suddenly ran out.

He excitedly reported to the group the unexpected news: the water level in the cabin had dropped sharply, and the sea water no longer poured in.

At this moment, the crew of the lifeboat immediately re-boarded the ship and headed straight for the engine room. They saw the submerged machine come out again. The captain of the top sail was already covered in oil and water, and he held the switch of the pump tightly in his hand. Tears welled up in people's eyes.

Soon the machines in the engine room were running again. And the boat also arrived at Xiangjiang on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

For this peculiar shipwreck, the crew members are incredulous. Even the captain of the top sail was puzzled.

Later, when the "Fu Li" sailed into the slipway for inspection, people found that there was a hole in the aft near the engine room, and at the entrance of the slipway there was a large shark lying dying.

This anecdote caused a sensation on both sides of the Xiangjiang River.

All the major newspapers in Hong Kong published this anecdote in a prominent position. Some also added oil and vinegar to render, saying that this "divine fish" used magic to save the big ship. The shipowner specially invited monks to practice the "divine fish" and recite the scriptures for three days and three nights.

Later, the captain of the top sailing ship went to ask the experts for advice on this matter. After reading all the information, the expert told him that the fish were phototaxis, and the light leaking from the broken bottom of the boat attracted many swimming fish.

And the gluttonous shark accidentally broke into the hole while chasing its prey. The pressure of the seawater forced it to be unable to get out, which happened to play the role of "blockage".

As a result, people joked that it was the big shark who "tore up" the captain's will.

However, all the crew members of the "Fu Li" believed that the real reason was that the captain of the top sail stuck to his post, was calm, and determined to die the courage of the crew to save the crew, and won the rescue time, and the captain personally "tore up" the will.

After the incident, the International Maritime Organization sent people to Hong Kong to investigate the matter. They confirmed the opinion of the majority of the seafarers: the dedication of the captain of the top sailing ship and his unwavering commitment to the shipwrecked ship boosted morale and won the rescue time.

Soon after, at a meeting of the International Maritime Organization, Captain Lai Dinghang received gratifying news: since the "Fu Li" incident, it was decided to formulate a special regulation for "the captain to leave the shipwrecked ship at the end".

Since then, the number of ships sinking in distress at sea around the world every year has decreased significantly compared to the past.

Many years later, Captain Lai Dinghang passed away in Xiangjiang Xian, and his "Will "Torn Up" by a Shark is still widely circulated in the international maritime community.

……

"Oh," after listening to this story, Ning Xiao couldn't help but stick out his tongue at Cheng Ziyang. "It seems that this koi luck can really play a key role at some point!"

"That's a matter of course!" Cheng Ziyang nodded Ning Xiao's nose. "Actually, the reason why I am like this is that I want to see what the situation of country M on the other side of the ocean is at this time through the oil tanker. After all, I have made so many opponents with Huaxia, I don't know if it will be an opponent in the future? ”

"You might send a plane to detectives?" Ning Xiao seemed quite incomprehensible. "Isn't that a lot faster?"

"You, loser!" Cheng Ziyang smiled and kissed Ning Xiao's hand. "Our China is a country of etiquette, at this time, after the catastrophe of the last days, there is no place to live a good life. I don't want to send a few planes to disturb their peace. ”

"Besides, at present, the main communication between the various bases in China is by airplane. And the exploitation of crude oil will not be fully carried out for a while, so I have to save a little bit of crude oil!"

"Whew!" Ning Xiao smiled coldly, and wanted to withdraw his hand. "What's the case, you're right?" Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "The Last Days: The Fairy Wife Rampant Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
