Chapter 157: The Legend of the Maelstrom
Chapter 157: The Legend of the Matrompool
Ling Moyu was unmoved, like a stone statue, pushing the captain away with one hand, and still firmly grasping the direction with the other, the pleasure boat slowly approached the center of the whirlpool under his control.
Tao Ziyi also came back to his senses, and ran to Ling Moyu and almost knelt down at Ling Moyu's feet, "What are you doing, don't drive forward, I don't want to die, go back, please!" I'll give you whatever you want! Her voice was crying, and her timbre was distorted.
Ling Moyu didn't even look at her, she was still the same, Tao Ziyi was still howling, it seemed that this howl could take away the fear in her heart, completely losing the unique style of a strong woman and intellectual beauty before, just like an ordinary woman, only hysteria. The tourists in the back cabin of the cruise ship broke out into terrible shouts, and the terrible sound and the sound of the tsunami were mixed together, which was terrifying to listen to.
What people are often afraid of is not death itself, but the process of waiting for death, especially when they see themselves getting closer to death, the shadow of death gradually looms over, and the feeling of helplessness erodes people's souls little by little, and they can only let out a final scream.
The boat follows the spiral line into the edge of the hole formed by the whirlpool, and the "hiss" sound of the water falling vertically here can be heard on the boat.
Ling Moyu's eyes stared at the center of the whirlpool, as if he wanted to scare the enemy back, and in an instant, he seemed to see something, slashing through space like lightning, straight into the whirlpool at the bottom of the sea, because the speed was too fast, he didn't see what it was.
A moment later, Ling Moyu felt that the power of the whirlpool seemed to weaken, and just as the edge of the ship was about to reach the hollow, Ling Moyu suddenly turned the rudder, making the hull of the ship make a ninety-degree turn, and the bow of the ship changed from the direction perpendicular to the radius of the vortex to the direction of outward along the radius.
At this time, the entire hull seemed to stop moving forward, stopping in place, "Rush forward at full speed!" Ling Moyu roared, and the captain understood, and immediately ordered the chief engineer to turn on his full power.
A miracle happened, the hull of the ship went straight along the whirlpool, gradually moving away from the center of the whirlpool, and continued to sail towards the depths of the sea, and the ship stabilized.
It turned out that the boat had moved away from the direction of the coast and turned to the side facing the sea, and in any case it finally broke out of the control of the whirlpool and entered the bosom of the stable sea.
People who have just brushed shoulders with death seem to wake up from a dream, many people hug their heads and cry, crying with joy, and some cheering, the joy of rebirth is indescribable.
Only then did Ling Moyu return control of the cruise ship to the captain, the captain excitedly held Ling Moyu's hand and couldn't speak, Ling Moyu patted him on the shoulder, let him calm down and continue to drive the cruise ship, as if nothing had happened, he calmly walked out of the wheelhouse.
Ling Moyu walked casually past the reveling crowd, found a secluded place to sit down, and looked at the scenery outside the sea through the porthole, he was still thinking about the strange flickering in the air just now. This kind of flash seems to have been seen somewhere, it is very similar to the flash of the space-time tunnel that I have seen before, could it be that the undersea maelstrom is the entrance and exit of the space-time tunnel, connecting the unknown space.
He felt as if someone was sitting next to him, and when he turned his face, he saw that Tao Ziyi followed him out of the cab, "It was so thrilling just now, thank you for saving me!" Her voice became much softer.
"Don't thank me, I'm also saving myself, not to save anyone, we are people in the same boat, of course we have to help each other in the same boat." Ling Moyu said lightly.
"I'm sorry I lost my temper just now and yelled at you." Tao Ziyi lowered his head and said embarrassedly.
"Don't worry about it, it's human nature that people will do things that they don't usually dare to think about in times of crisis." Ling Moyu said with relief.
"How did you just do it, you actually drove the boat back at the edge of the maelstrom, is it God bless you?" Tao Ziyi looked at Ling Moyu with admiration.
"Maybe I'm lucky, just in time for the maelstrom to take a nap, and let me run out if I'm not careful, or we might die at the bottom of the sea together." Ling Moyu said.
"You're humble! I can see that you must have had a plan in mind at that time, and you would never do anything that you were not sure about. However, there are many legends about this maelstrom, including a young man who escaped from the maelstrom with a boatload of people alone! Tao Ziyi's eyes showed a look of adoration.
As soon as Ling Moyu heard the legend, he immediately came to his senses and asked, "What are the legends of the formation of this great whirlpool!" ”
"It is impossible to determine when the maelstrom first appeared, it should have existed in prehistory, and there are many theories about the formation of the maelstrom, one of which says that there is no maelstrom here and there is no difference between the ordinary sea area. Because there was a fire dragon in the heavenly palace who committed a rebellion and was injured by the gods, the fire dragon escaped from the sky, and the gods chased after him. The fire dragon could not defeat the gods, and there was nowhere to hide, so it fell from the sky and smashed its head on the surface of the sea, smashing through a hole in the bottom of the sea, and the sea water kept leaking to the underworld. Tao Ziyi said.
"It seems that the formation of this maelstrom is really related to the sky!" Ling Moyu seemed to be talking to himself.
"However, the maelstrom is both a big scenery and a big mineral deposit here, and we used to want to invest in the minerals here, but unfortunately it was robbed by others." Tao Ziyi said.
"This is the vein of a single magnetic pole?" Ling Moyu asked.
"Yes, the monomagnetic ore here can almost be regarded as the cornerstone of our civilization, and everything that has modernized is due to the veins here. Otherwise, we might still be drinking blood. Tao Ziyi said.
Ling Moyu also learned from some information that the reason why the central state was able to dominate the three kingdoms was because of its vast territory and rich resources, and of course, there were reasons with a long history. However, in modern times, the resources of the central country are the coveted objects of other countries, especially the Dan country, which itself has a small territory and poor resources, and has long coveted the resources of the central country, and will pounce on it and bite it hard once there is an opportunity.
"This time the prince Liu Yuche was calculated, it is likely to be a conspiracy of the Dan Kingdom, the people of the Dan Kingdom are thoughtful and well-planned. Each of their steps has a follow-up plan, and after calculating the prince's plan, there must be more ruthless. Ling Moyu thought to himself.
