Chapter 241: The Crisis of Maritime Navigation
The company is building spaceships, and a large number of large trucks more than 20 meters long are driving in an orderly manner on the road from the port of Colombo to the automobile factory, carrying a large amount of raw materials. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
If an observer were to fly up into the sky and look down, he would see that the traffic between countries and within the industrial countries was more active. Truckloads of supplies are transported by rail and road to their destinations, and some of the most valuable precision parts are even on planes.
HNA continues to play the role of the main force in the exchange of goods between continents, and ships on popular routes carry large cargo such as iron ore, crude oil, and grain to their destinations one after another.
A steamer carrying 10,000 tons of refined steel from the magic capital of China to the sea 100 kilometers away from Ceylon will arrive in Colombo in a few hours to unload the cargo for the next shipment.
Tian Zhen, a slightly bald middle-aged captain, sat on a big chair with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the navigation results displayed on the screen, and said with a smile: "Haha, we are about to reach Colombo, everyone can have a good time for three days!" Who wants to go to the beach with me to bask in the sun and watch beautiful women? ”
"Cut, it's not interesting to go to the beach with you, don't be fooled. It's useless to just look at women with your eyes, even if you see a star, you can only look at it and can't eat it, but I want to put out the fire with a real gun. "The first mate had just finished his patrol, and he took off his hat to reveal his sweaty forehead, revealing the captain's old background.
"Yes, yes, let's follow the old driver of the first mate, captain, you can go to the beach alone to enjoy the bikini beauty." Some of the crew members cheered.
Captain Tian Zhen shook his head slightly and sighed: "You young people, you don't know the importance of saving money, and when you get married, you will know that you need money everywhere in your life." ”
"Haha, we're still young, why don't we enjoy it more now, in case we encounter a sea monster, it will be miserable. The money was not spent, and the women's wine was not enjoyed, so it was not in vain. A man as thick as a bear said loudly, ready to receive praise from everyone, but he got full of white eyes.
"You can't even speak, we can sail on the sea now, and we can't say bad words." "Yes, although the sea monsters did not appear in large numbers, a lot of bits and pieces were still found, and if our ship encountered it, it would not have the power to resist." "Bah, Mazu is above, this person is not sober, you just let his words go as a fart."
The accusations poured in, making the man dazed and his mouth tightly shut.
Sailing on the sea with a volatile personality, the crew has to endure long hours of boring and physical work, as well as the huge waves when the sea is angry, and they are more disgusted with crows' beaks. If this man is not careful, he will commit a big taboo and make everyone else unhappy.
"Look west, Captain! There's a big guy 10 kilometers away, rushing towards us, what's going to be done next? One of the crew members suddenly shouted loudly, his voice filled with deep panic.
Tian Zhen hurriedly rushed over, stood in front of the radar display screen, and sure enough, he saw something about 100 meters long in the west, approaching the ship under his feet quickly. You must know that their ship has a load of 26,000 tons and a body length of more than 150 meters, and the unknown object is not much shorter.
"Warning, hurry up and send a warning, let it get out of the way. We also have to move and avoid that guy's course in the shortest possible time, so that there can be no collision! ”
As the captain of the ship, Tian Zhen spends more time at sea than on the ground. He is a veteran seaman with 30 years of sailing experience, and he can know the type of ship through radar.
This time, he couldn't tell what kind of ship the ship in the west was, and he couldn't help frowning deeply. There was always a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city, as if the lowest waves encountered ten years ago were all thirty meters high.
"Captain, the unknown ship has no answer to the warning! Still kept coming at us. The crew said sweatingly, pale.
Rumble! The huge ship turned its bow awkwardly, and the waves were more than 10 meters high, and even if it started with all its might, the steering action was still slow and exciting.
If the steering is not completed before the unknown ship collides, a violent collision will occur, and everyone's life will be in danger.
"Damn, is that ship a fool, why did it just rush over?"
"It's so weird, it looks like someone is trying to get us in trouble."
The crew talked a lot, and the crowd was excited, eager to hack all the pilots of the rushing ship to death, but they didn't notice the sudden pale face of the captain Tian Zhen.
Tian Zhen lifted the telescope and began to search towards the west. After a few minutes, a layer of death flashed across his face, and his body became rickety, as if he had been drained of his energy and was more than ten years old.
"Everyone, don't make any noise, it's not a boat coming from the west, but a giant lobster with a body length of 100 meters. It's much faster than a slower steamer, so if you want to fight for it, take a speedboat and run for your life. Now I can't wait for them to come by sending a request for help to Ceylon. ”
"What about you, Captain?" The first mate asked with concern.
Tian Zhen shook his head slightly and said, "I'm old, so I'll drive a boat and hit the monster to attract its attention." If you are able to get back to shore, please let my family know. ”
"Captain!" The eyes of all the crew members turned red, and some of them shed tears of gratitude.
Tian Zhen stretched out his hand and pushed on the shoulder of the first mate, and said, "Hurry up, wait a little longer, the monster is coming, and it will be difficult for you to escape again!" ”
The first mate and the others hurried to the escape speedboat, and when they turned around, they saw that Tian Zhen had stopped his original turn, adjusted the posture of the ship, and prepared to meet the arrival of the monster.
"Warning, warning, 81.27 degrees east longitude, 6.52 degrees north latitude found a lobster-type monster with a body length of 100 meters, please avoid nearby ships! Ceylon Navy? Come here! Tian Zhen's voice sounded throughout the ship, and a strong radio wave instantly spread hundreds of miles away.
There were quite a few steamers coming out of Malacca, and more than forty ships in this distance received this message. The ships slightly illuminated the radar to the coordinate location, and really found a giant creature, and they were all surprised: "What, the traces of a sea monster were found near Ceylon?" Quickly avoid it and return to the Myanmar port/Malacca. ”
Boom! The three speedboats headed towards Colombo at maximum speed, and the speed was so fast that it left three long white wakes on the blue sea. Compared to a slow steamer, it's like the gap between a cheetah and an elephant.
The giant lobster didn't care at all about the three small ones that escaped, and never changed their first goal, coming to the vicinity of the small mountain of steamers.
Squeak, quack, the lobster lifted a large pincer and poked it at the steamer's waterline, creating a huge hole three meters in diameter, and hundreds of tons of seawater rushed wildly. (To be continued.) )
