584 Returning to the Ruins Appears in
Everyone on deck panicked.
There had been a slight change in the surrounding waters, and the sea was slowly flowing in one direction, but only ships of relatively small tonnage could sense this change and be affected by the force of the current, which was completely negligible for the destroyer. By the time someone on the deck spotted the maelstrom, they were almost close to the edge of the whirlpool. The people in the control room had also noticed this, and immediately turned the rudder to find a safe area to avoid the maelstrom.
"What a whirlpool!" Nelson's face turned green as he looked at the survey data reported on the screen.
The data shows that the abrupt vortex has a radius of more than a kilometer, which is bottomless, and has a tendency to continue to expand.
"Chen, are we looking for this whirlpool?" Nelson asked, letting out a sigh. He understood Guiru directly as a large maelstrom. That's fine, so that Chen Si doesn't have to waste his tongue explaining to him some words that he can't understand at all.
"It's not." Chen Si had a solemn look on his face. Then he said, "I'll go out of the deck and take a look." ”
Nelson hurriedly grabbed him and said hurriedly: "Chen, are you crazy, there is a big whirlpool outside, the waves around here must be extremely high, the cabin must be locked, the personnel outside have already withdrawn to the inside, and they will be swept away by the waves on the deck at any time!" ”
Chen Si smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of my own safety." If there is any specific situation, I will contact you through the communicator. Chen Si wanted to judge the change of climate outside, although the data in the monitor was very accurate, but Chen Si could not feel the truth, he had to see the changes in the surrounding sea and sky before he could make the final decision: "Bypassing this whirlpool, we still have to sail towards fixed coordinates." Chen Si turned around and threw down a categorical sentence.
The corners of Nelson's mouth moved, but he couldn't speak. He glanced at the crew members who were operating the warship around him, and said angrily: "What do you see, don't you do your job well, aren't you afraid of driving the warship into the whirlpool?" ”
"Report, another whirlpool!" One of the technicians in charge of monitoring the hydrological system had a trembling voice.
This vortex formed abruptly. Suddenly appeared less than half a nautical mile of the warship, such a distance, if the warship's maneuverability was not strong enough, it could not be avoided at all under such high-speed sailing, and drove directly into the whirlpool.
"Son of a bitch!" Nelson stared at the virtual location of the whirlpool on the screen and cursed in English, and the ship's technicians struggled to save themselves without waiting for him to speak. The warship had changed direction less than a minute earlier, and now it had to change direction urgently, and for them, it was already a light vehicle and a very fast reaction.
The warship moved about 20 degrees to the left with a "bang...... and a huge wave fell on the deck. Fortunately, the people on deck had completely withdrawn into the warship, otherwise someone would have been swept into the water by the huge wave.
Before Chen Si could open the warehouse door, he heard the dull sound of the waves hitting outside the hatch, and when he heard this sound, he didn't dare to be reckless, and retreated. According to the communicator, the whirlpools in this area are increasing, and the speed of increase is getting faster and faster.
"What's going on! Chen, explain it to me! When Nelson saw Chen Si step back into the command room, he said to Chen Si with a pale face and anger.
Just a while after Chen Si left, no less than 20 whirlpools of all sizes had appeared around the warship, in other words, this warship had been surrounded by whirlpools, and there was still a certain distance from the falling whirlpools, but it was a foregone conclusion. Compared to other ships, this destroyer can be regarded as a giant ship, but in front of the whirlpool, it is no different from an ordinary small sampan, once entangled in the maelstrom, it will be attracted and torn to pieces.
Chen Si looked up at the virtual map drawn by the data on the display screen, and when he saw so many whirlpools appearing here, he understood what was going on.
"The ruins are about to appear, and these whirlpools will eventually converge together to form a giant whirlpool, and the place where this giant whirlpool appears is the real ruins! That's where we're looking for! Chen Si took a deep breath.
"But now we can't escape from the encirclement of these whirlpools, what are we talking about finding the ruins, let's find a way to save our lives first, sir!" Nelson's neck turned red.
"Hmph, what is the little whirlpool afraid of!" Chen Si looked at Nelson contemptuously, and said to Nelson: "The whirlpools that appear here, only a very small number of whirlpools have the attraction that is harmful to the warship we are riding, and the other small whirlpools don't have to dodge at all, it doesn't matter if they drive over directly, their pulling force is not a big problem at all in terms of the powerful power of the destroyer!" Even if something big happens, Mr. Nelson, I can guarantee that even if the ship sinks, I can guarantee that you will still be alive! Chen Si patted his chest and said. This is not Chen Si's words, this self-confidence is completely based on Chen Si's high-level equipment on this warship.
Whether it is a diving bell or an Apache helicopter is the best escape tool, no matter how bad it is, there are also anti-pressure suits and small submarines developed by the United States, it is naturally impossible to save the whole ship, but it is still more than enough to let dozens of people retreat safely.
Nelson rolled his eyes at Chen Si and said, "What you say had better be true!" ”
Chen Si no longer paid attention to Nelson, but paid attention to the direction of the water flow on the virtual map. After looking at it for a while, a smile appeared on his solemn face, and he said: "These whirlpools have begun to gather, pay attention, this is the last madness before the danger ends, and we will be safe if we survive it." ”
Many people also found that the water flow around the warship was flowing in one direction, and the speed of rotation of the whirlpool around it gradually increased, but the direction was the same as all the water flows, approaching in a fixed direction, and after the different whirlpools approached, not only did not counteract, but quickly converged together, slowly forming a larger whirlpool, and the direction of speed moved unchanged.
Warships are interspersed between these whirlpools, and the danger is self-evident. The warship was pulled into it several times, and it was only by relying on the several reserve power installed on the warship that all the temporary starts, and desperately fled to the periphery, so that they escaped. However, the soldiers who drove the ship knew very well that after the ship returned to port, it would not be able to recover to its best condition without at least a year and a half of overhaul, and the service time would be greatly reduced.
