Volume 6, Chapter 45: The Sunken Battleship

Although I have never learned to sail, I have survived in the wild for such a long time that even without advanced navigation equipment, I will calculate my approximate position based on my forward speed and compass. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

What's more, there is a speedometer directly on the ship, which makes it easier to calculate the position.

"Bang!" Suddenly, the hull of the ship shook violently, and the things on the ship began to ping-pong and roll around.

I also stumbled and quickly pulled the handrail.

Oh yes! I'm afraid it's hit the rocks!

On this big night, it was a thick fog, and I couldn't see it at all. Not to mention that the ship does not have sonar, and if it does, it will not easily run aground.

The sailors outside immediately shouted in a ball. The captain and his first mate also ran out.

I put away the map in my hand and rushed out.

It's white, and you can't see anything.

But rest assured, the ship didn't leak, it just ran aground!

It's all surrounded by dense reefs. The hull was tilted a little, and the sailors were busy throwing some of their stuff into the sea to keep the hull balanced, otherwise another big wave would have to turn the ship over in the water.

God tossed for a while, and it seemed that he was tired, and the waves gradually became smaller!

This relieved the people on board, the big waves and the reef were not so easy to deal with.

I could only sigh in my heart, and it seemed that I had to wait for the tide to go out again!

Searchlights kept sweeping around, and apart from the white fog, there was only white fog left!

It's a really uncomfortable feeling. People are really not creatures of the sea, and they have no sense of security if they do not stand on land.

Wow!

Another great wave is coming. There are no huge waves for a while, and I don't know what nerves the sea has, but at this time, there are big waves again.

Bang!

The waves undoubtedly hit the hull of the ship, shattering into countless splashes.

The hull shook violently again and hit the reef again!

"Oh no! The ship was broken, the ship was broken! Inside the cabin, the noisy shouts of the sailors were immediately heard.

"What the hell!" The captain threw away the thick cigarette in his hand and ran down.

The captain is not very old, just in his forties. He was a half-breed and looked a lot like a yellow man.

His full name is hard to pronounce, so the people on the ship affectionately call him Captain Nick. He knew English and was one of the few people on this boat that I could communicate directly with.

As for the others, they all spoke their own language, and I didn't understand it at all, and I couldn't learn it.

This part of Africa has a lot of languages, and I don't know what the hell they are talking about.

He frowned and ran away.

The bottom of the cabin was already in a mess, and the sailors were desperately busy plugging the breach.

But this crack is too big to be plugged at all, and after a while, the entire bottom silo is full of water.

Looking at this, my face is indescribably ugly.

As the ship sank, the speed of the water as it poured in. The water pressure is also gradually increasing, which makes it more difficult to gamble.

Captain Nick looked at the rift that was still pouring into the sea, shouted in the vernacular, and ran out with a few people.

"What are they going to do?" I asked the translator next to me.

My translator was a young man who seemed to have just graduated from college. He is a Chinese named Pan Xue.

Very strange name, both words are surnames. It is estimated that the former surname is his father's surname, and the latter is his mother's, which also serves as his "first name".

This way of choosing a name is rare.

Pan Xue said: "They want to plug the rift from the outside. The water flow will bring in rags and other things directly, so it is easier to block the water from the outside. ”

"Check it out!" I ran up with it. I saw four or five people wearing diving suits, dragging a piece of worn-out canvas, rushing out with wooden shovels and hammers, dropping rope ladders and going down into the water.

On the surface of the water, all that was left was immediately the blister.

Immediately after, there was a muffled sound from the bottom of the ship.

I guess they were squeezing the broken canvas into the cracks with those wooden wedges!

After more than ten minutes of busy work, the speed of the ship's sinking slowed down.

The ship's sailors were busy pumping the water out of the bottom chamber with a water pump.

I breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was blocked.

I have to lament the backwardness of this ship, and even the technology of "cabin isolation" is not used. You know, this thing was used by the Chinese hundreds of years ago.

I don't know if the ship that plugged the rift will be able to sail in the sea, but at least there is no danger of sinking now.

Crash!

A man suddenly emerged from the sea and shouted excitedly.

He spoke in the vernacular, but I understood him calling "Captain!" "It's the word that I've heard the most these days on the boat, and it's not all going to be difficult.

One of the people on the boat immediately responded: "The captain and the first mate are repairing the ship, what's going on below?" ”

"There are boats! There's a boat down there! What a big shipwreck! ”

When I heard this, I immediately froze.

This place, there is a shipwreck?

It's weird.

It's not uncommon to encounter shipwrecks in the sea.

I know what shipwrecks mean to these navigators. There's treasure to salvage.

Even if there is no gold and silver on the ship, if you can salvage the porcelain and bronze inside, it will be a priceless antique.

As soon as Nick, who was in the cabin, heard the news, he immediately threw the work in his hand to the first mate and ran up.

Asked aloud, "Is there really a shipwreck?" ”

"It's a big ship! Big, big, big. Bigger than our ship! ”

"From which era?" Captain Nick continued to ask. The excitement and excitement on his face were palpable.

"I can't see it, it's all sea mud!" I heard a loud bang, and another person also got out of the sea. He exclaimed, "Bad luck! Captain Nick, our ship was wrecked by it! ”

"So powerful? It's all sunk in the sea, and you can still crash the ship at sea? "I couldn't help frowning, even if this shipwreck is a World War II battleship, I'm afraid it will be corroded and damaged, right? How can you still crash the ship above?

When Captain Nick saw me, he immediately gave me a warm hug and said excitedly, "Mr. Tong, you are my guest." Sea travel is really boring, I will take you to see the strange world under the water today. You're sure to feast your eyes! ”

I didn't have much interest in these wrecks.

In the past few days, my mind has been swirling around how to find the mecha. How to rescue Hongyi.

As long as I don't see her, I can't sleep.

It's just that now that he said this, my curiosity was also piqued. Anyway, it's okay now, so let's go down and have a look.

Perhaps, it's time for me to take it easy. I was nervous all day long, and I was afraid that I would really get mentally ill.

So I nodded and asked him to prepare a set of equipment for my translator as well.

Soon, the headlamp, oxygen tank, goggles, and fins were put on.

Ahem! Looking at this outfit, it feels weird.

Still descending from the rope ladder into the sea.

In my memory, this was my first time diving, and I couldn't help but find it a little fun.

The water here is not very deep, it is a bit cloudy, and you can't see very far.

The thief has been tossing for so long just now, if the sea is still clear, it will be really hell.

The visibility is only a few meters, which is similar to the feeling of smog in northern China.

Soon, a huge black shadow appeared in front of our eyes.

The first place to come is the place where the "Broken Wave" was hit.

The Broken Waves is our ship. When translated into Chinese characters, it is "broken waves".

In front of the rift of the Broken Waves, a swarthy, white sea mud appeared. This is the thing that broke the "Broken Wave".

We swam over, and some of the mud had been removed. What came out of front of us turned out to be a huge steel plate!

It's almost five centimeters thick!

What the hell is this?

The thickest steel plate of the Broken Wave is only three centimeters.

Could it be that this is not a civilian vessel?

I began to search for information in my memory, and as far as I knew, I didn't seem to have heard of any particularly major "shipwrecks" for more than a decade. I heard a lot about the air crash.

The sailors immediately set to work and installed underwater floating lights around the big guy.

In this way, a complete outline appears before our eyes.

Shock! Absolutely nothing but shock!

"Buy Karma!" Captain Nick stared at the huge black shadow in front of him in amazement, and said excitedly, "This must be the greatest discovery of my life!" It's really exciting. ”

I looked at what was in front of me, and my heart was shaken. The big black guy that appeared in front of me was actually the island of the ship!

It's something that only warships have! This is a warship. It's just that which country it is, it is unknown.

And looking at the appearance of this ship island, it is not like the existing ship island of any country. It's really weird. Could it be that this is an old warship left over from World War I or World War II?

This is really a big discovery, and it's a big treasure, even if there is nothing in it, it's enough to sell scrap metal to make a fortune for Captain Nick.

"Go and see which country? Are there any signs? Captain Nick gestured to the man next to him, motioning for him to look for the sign.

The crowd immediately dispersed and circled around the huge warship.

I also began to look around me.

Another black thing appeared overhead!

Coral reef!

How did this reef grow on this warship?

A big question mark then came to mind. If the reef was on top, how did the warship sink to the bottom of the ocean below? It should break the reef or just sink on it.

Flippers, my translator and I swam up.

The coral reef in the sea is really beautiful. But there is no sign of a break on the reef!

Coral reefs grow, but when they break, they can't grow back from where they break.

Pan Xue looked at this strange scene, and he couldn't help but say loudly, "It's strange." Boss, such a big battleship sank, why didn't this reef break? Why does it feel like a coral reef grows after the battleship sinks? ”

I nodded, and looked around, the water in this place was clearer than where we came down, and the visibility was naturally higher. When I looked at it, I realized that the sky above the battleship was full of coral reefs, and it happened to be stuck underneath the coral reef.

However, none of the coral reefs above are broken.

It's really weird.

I nodded and said, "I think it's weird too." Coral reefs are not impossible to grow after a battleship has sunk. The problem is that coral reefs grow quite slowly. It is impossible to overgrow it in a few decades. ”

There was a crack between the coral reefs above me, but it couldn't accommodate the huge warship below.

In the water, you can barely hear each other when you are very close, and you usually use hand gestures.

Radios are also difficult to transmit in the water, and walkie-talkies are largely useless. If you use sonar to communicate, it may work, but it is impossible to have such a high-tech thing on such a ship.

"Most likely, the ship did not fall from above." Pan Xue's voice hummed, "Maybe when this ship was sinking, its engine was not broken, and it was still pushing the hull to move. In this way, it does not sink in a straight line, but along a flat trajectory......"

When Pan Xue said this, he immediately closed his mouth. The facts in front of him have completely negated his point of view.

The battleship was also surrounded by coral reefs and other reefs. Even though there were many gaps between these reefs, none of the air raids could be brought in by this huge warship.

"How is that possible?" He asked incredulously.

"Nothing is impossible?" I shook my head, I saw a lot of strange things, and I didn't know it strange.

"It's not scientific!" Pan Xue is still yelling, completely without the taciturn appearance he had before!

At this point, I saw Captain Nick waving to me. So he swam over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

He pointed to the screen of the underwater camera in his hand and said, "This is the sign they just found from the hull." Do you recognize it? ”

I looked over. The logo was covered with sea mud, and it was not very clear to see, but the outlines of several of them were exposed, but I was shocked to see it, and a sense of familiarity came to my face.

"You know?" Captain Nick looked at me with surprise in his eyes.

I nodded and gestured to him, meaning that I couldn't see it clearly, and that I was going to go over and see for myself.

Along the way, cold sweat kept falling.

I remembered the sign, the one I hadn't seen in a long time, but the photo was blurry and I wasn't sure for it. So I can only see it for myself.

The sign was on the left side of the battleship, and at the moment there were seven or eight people gathered here. They were removing the mud from the signs.

Before I could get closer, the glaring sign stung my eyes again.

Sure enough!

How is this place also having this strange sign? And it also appeared on a battleship?

This sign is the strange symbol I saw in the wormhole!

How did it end up here? Could it be that something unusual is going to happen in this place?

I don't know! But I know that this symbol is like a curse, and once I see it, I have to pour blood mold once. A strong sense of crisis rose from my heart again.

Compared to the previous ones, this sign encountered this time is clearly different. It's no longer engraved, it's printed!

I pounced on it, looked at it again, and yes, it was really printed. Not at all. It was the battleship that was printed when it was painted, just like the current ship's porthole!
