After a false alarm, the "Snow Dragon" had no intention of sending people to the "Kurama" to inspect it, because since the Sasebo military port was not far away, Tsushima Island and the Tsushima Strait were also near.

Some of the crew members who had returned from the vicinity of the Kurama remained on deck, and they were pulled in by everyone to inquire about the situation, and one of them, who was very knowledgeable about the naval history of various countries, not only introduced the identity of the Kurama, but also told some interesting facts about the port of Sasebo.

"This port was built during World War II with a very famous warship, the destroyer Shiyu, then known as Sasebo Shiyu. This ship belongs to the 'Bailu class', which is quite evil, and I don't know if it has a good character or not, anyway, it will be defeated in every battle, and it will run away in every defeat. ”

"Runaway expert," someone laughed, "just this virtue, and the navy still takes it to play?" ”

"Don't worry, listen to me. Since the day the Shiyu entered the war, the crew of more than a dozen battles of all sizes have been almost unharmed, and it is not without the experience of being hit by torpedoes and naval guns, but the torpedoes do not explode when they are hit, and the shells do not make a sound.

"Damn, this hangs," someone sighed.

"But then it sank, and it was killed by a submarine."

"You always have to pay it back when you come out," someone summed up the career of this "Shiyu".

"By the way, when it comes to the Yamon ship, there is another one, but not in Sasebo Port, but in Kure Port, which is in Hiroshima. That ship was the 'Yangyan-class' Yukikaze, which was called 'Xiangrui' along with Shiyu. The awesome thing about the 'Snow Wind' is that it protects whoever sinks. ”

"What do you mean?" Da Fei listened to it next to him and asked curiously.

"At that time, Sakura's navy generally incorporated destroyers into the convoy to escort battleships and aircraft carriers, and most of the warships escorted by the 'Yukikaze' sank during the escort, and it itself was almost unharmed, and it was able to salvage many friendly soldiers who fell into the water."

"Broom Star!" Da Fei's heart chuckled.

"That's right, this ship's life is very hard, unlike the 'Shiyu', it doesn't have to be returned when it comes out. During the Pacific War, Sakura had more than 80 destroyers of various types, and only the "Yukikaze" survived after the war, and it almost never suffered serious damage. In total, less than 10 of the ship's crew members died in all battles, 2 were missing, and several captains died well. This result was a miracle in the Pacific Theater, where the fighting was fierce, so the Yukikaze was also called the "Immortal Bird" and the "Miracle Destroyer". Of course, the crews of other warships hated it more, because few of the warships that attacked with it made it back safely. ”

"Hahahaha," the explanation of the 'expert' on naval history in the crew made everyone laugh, and everyone was amazed by the experience of these two "auspicious" ships.

After passing through the Tsushima Strait, the "Snow Dragon" officially entered the Sakura Sea area, which is a typhoon-prone area, but at this time, it was winter and spring, and the typhoon had already transformed into an extratropical cyclone and merged into the westerly wind belt before it arrived. From June to October, when the subtropical high rises northward, there is room for typhoons to move and they often visit coastal areas such as Okinawa, Kyushu, and Shikoku.

Chen Bin and Da Fei didn't know much about this geographical knowledge, and the two learned a lot when they listened to the crew chatting on the ship. Most of these crew members did not belong to the shipping team of the "Snow Dragon" before, but were recruited by the government to join the operation temporarily, and they have a wealth of experience on other ships and routes, which is very new to those who have lived inland for a long time, and is also the first choice for after-dinner pastime.

On the tenth day of the trip, the "Snow Dragon" began to cross the Aleutian Islands into the Bering Sea, the temperature here is much lower than when it first left Chongming, and in recent days, there are fewer people willing to walk on the deck, and most of them choose to nest in the living cabin or go to the basketball court and KTV for recreation.

There is also a gym in the cabin, and there are many people active in it, so you almost have to queue up during the day. Da Fei is a fitness enthusiast, and in these days on the ship, he took Chen Bin to the gym several times, but each time he didn't have a chance to get in line, so he gave up later.

Zhang Dada stayed in his single room almost every day to study some things, and Chen Bin and Da Fei also went to look for him a few times, and they didn't bother him much after knowing that he was busy.

After taking a turn in the cabin, the two decided to go to the deck to breathe, although it was fresh to go to sea on a boat, not everyone could get used to it after a long time. No one in the team was seasick on this trip, and the food on board was also very good, the people in charge of the kitchen were not fixed, and sometimes some of the crew would volunteer to go up and show off their cooking skills or two. The hometowns of these crew members are from all over the world, so after boarding the ship, Chen Bin has already eaten several cuisines.

It was cold on the deck, and when you breathed, you could see the white mist, and a layer of frost had hung on the deck and the side of the ship, but fortunately everyone was tightly wrapped, and gloves and hats were all available.

There was a black thing in the water not far away, and Chen Bin's eyes were sharp, and he saw it at once. He pointed at the thing with his finger, ready to shout Dafei to see it.

"It looks like a cetacean's tail," Chen Bin saw something resembling a whale's tail sticking out of the water, and a huge splash was made there, "It's hitting the water, there's a whale!" ”

The excitement came from the bottom of his heart, it was the first time he had seen a live whale in an ocean area, and the distance between the two was not too far.

"Wow, what a big guy!" Da Fei exclaimed.

It was a humpback whale that emerged from the waves in a graceful arc, then suddenly burst out of the water, slowly rising vertically, until its flippers reached the surface of the water, and its body began to bend backwards, looking like an acrobat's backward roll from a distance.

"Look at it, there's another one in the back," Chen Bin saw the whale's body burrow into the water, and then another whale jumped up where it had just disappeared.

The Snow Dragon's sonar system had spotted two nearby humpback whales, and the pilot had carefully adjusted its course to keep a certain distance from the whales. Humpback whales feed on small crustaceans and small fish, which are very gentle in temperament, but the average adult is more than 10 meters long, and some can weigh up to 30 tons. Although this weight and size seem very small in front of the "Snow Dragon", if the two accidentally collide in the sea, it will be a very dangerous thing.

At night, the ship came to the vicinity of St. Lawrence Island, a volcanic island at the southern mouth of the Bering Strait. The island is not large, about 150 kilometers long and 15~55 kilometers wide, and the island is inhabited by Inuit people, whose population is about 1,000, and they usually live by fishing and hunting.

The Snow Dragon docked off the coast of Gamber, a city in the northwest corner of St. Lawrence Island, which is said to be a city, but in fact the population is not as large as that of most cities in China. Captain Wang Puhong was concerned about his safety, and strictly ordered all crew members not to leave the "Snow Dragon" when the ship docked here. The number of Gambor residents is about 600, and this is still the data in Wang Puhong's memory from 2000.

No one knows how many of them have been turned into bloodthirsty monsters by the disaster, so staying on board is clearly the right choice.

It is possible to travel at night, but the "Snow Dragon" has been on the sea for nearly two weeks, and the crew on board needs to suspend most of the equipment and overhaul it. This is a routine maintenance operation during long voyages, because only in this way can the ship be effectively prevented from being passively anchored at sea.

St. Lawrence Island in the twilight is black and white, black is the mountains, white is the snow. In the daytime, you can see the houses in the distance from the boats on the coast, and the islands are mostly inhabited by Gamber and Saveng, and there is a small airport near each of them.

The journey at sea was boring, and everyone went to bed early at night because they couldn't get off the ship. At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Chen Bin suddenly felt a vibration in the hull of the ship, and then the alarm bell rang outside.

"Hit the ship!" Chen Bin heard shouts from outside the door, and jumped down from the top bunk in shock, pulled a piece of clothing and put it on, pushed open the door and ran out to see what was happening.

"What happened?" Chen Bin called out to a person in the corridor and asked.

"What's wrong?" Da Fei also followed.

"Our ship has been hit," said the crewman, "and you get dressed and wait for the captain's orders." ”

"What? Who hit us? Chen Bin was shocked when he heard the news.

"I can't see clearly at night, it happened very suddenly, anyway, you hurry up and get dressed, if the situation gets serious and everyone has to go to the shore, you will freeze to death like this."

Chen Bin and Da Fei hurriedly returned to the house to put on their clothes neatly, Da Fei saw the orange light flashing in the night outside the window, he leaned in front of the window to take a closer look, and couldn't help but cry out, "It's on fire!" ”

The two of them followed some of the crew members to the deck, and in the port direction of the "Snow Dragon", a huge black shadow was burning with fire. Through the flames spreading in the wind, it was confirmed that it was another large ship that crashed into the "Snow Dragon".

The large ship, which was almost twice as long as the "Snow Dragon", approached the coast of Gamber and collided with the "Snow Dragon" and suddenly burst into flames, and then the fire began to spread rapidly.

"Attention to the people on deck, please evacuate immediately; Attention to the people on deck, please evacuate immediately. The sound of the radio was very clear in the dark night, and everyone was a little panicked after hearing it, but they still returned to the bridge building in an orderly manner.

"Everyone in the shipping crew is in place!" After Wang Puhong figured out the situation as quickly as possible, he immediately issued a new order.

"Crash into the hull of the ship that stopped us, and get out of here at full speed!" (https:)
