Chapter 133: Ship's Bottom Crisis
The wind whined and screamed, this huge sea bowl was even more terrifying and exaggerated than the picture in the anime movie, standing on the vehicle that could already be called the pinnacle of human manufacturing, looking at the surrounding scene, but it made people feel that the whole city and the whole world would be swallowed by this sea eye.

The whirlpool is getting bigger and bigger, the speed of the water is getting faster and faster, and the ship between the currents is like a stubborn leaf, but now the hull is constantly making a 'squeak' sound, which is the sound of being crushed by the high speed of the water.
Zheng Yikang and Wen Zikai had done their best to control the balance of the Comet, and if there was a slight mistake, the difficult success of the cruise ship to climb to this height would be wasted, as long as the stubborn thrust of the upward movement was lost, it would only take tens of seconds for the ship to be swallowed.
The more terrifying the scene, the more tense and stagnant the atmosphere in the control room became, except for the sailors and a few auxiliary soldiers, Lu You and those soldiers who didn't know how to do it, they had already closed their mouths, holding their breath, just begging Zheng Yikang that they could completely drive the cruise ship out of this ghost place.
The comet is excellent in both quality and performance, under the control of Zheng Yikang and them, although it is slow, and Lu You and they are all a little dizzy and want to vomit, but the cruise ship is really climbing.
Two minutes passed, and Lu You and the others were finally able to see the scenery outside the big bowl, Zheng Yikang raised his eyebrows and said, "Open the drain valve!" And increase the power of the thrusters, and we will just leave here in one go! ā
"Yes!"
Several people responded, and hurriedly adjusted and controlled the ship according to the instructions, Lu You and the others only felt as if the ship had been sped up to almost fly, and after two more circles around the sea bowl, it finally jumped into the sky and flew out of the whirlpool!
This is the real flight, this ship, which can almost be considered a medium and large cruise ship, has flown at least ten meters. Then it fell heavily on the water, which was still spinning and flowing, and smashed the people on the boat to pieces.
Even on the cruise ship, all the members of the ship were almost injured by the fall, and the cruise ship was originally designed for comfort, but Lu You felt thrilling.
Fortunately, after the ship was launched, although the waves were tens of meters high, and a lot of seawater was thrown into the cabin, in the shaking and swinging, the sturdy new ship did not fall apart or capsize after all, but sailed quickly forward. Far away from this dangerous sea, one has to feel the strength of human beings, just like this cruise ship, which is indeed small compared to this whirlpool, but it has a powerful power that can fight against it.
However, the behavior just now was still too risky and reckless, although the ship was moving forward, Zheng Yikang and Wen Zikai's faces were a little ugly: "Close the drain valve quickly!" ā
"I'm closed too! But it can't be closed! ā
Zheng Yikang had already lost his mind a little, holding the rudder with one hand. The other hand grabbed the walkie-talkie and roared, "Su Nan! You go down and see what's going on, and turn off the drain valve for me!" ā
Su Nan was one of the sailors in Lu You's team, and the area in charge was closest to the bottom of the ship, and he heard Zheng Yikang's order. After answering the call, there was no sound.
Obviously, the cruise ship was getting farther and farther away from the whirlpool, but the atmosphere in the control room was even more uncomfortable than before, and after waiting for several minutes, Sunan's voice sounded again. It's just that it's hard to hide the horror in the words.
"Uncle Zheng, it should be that the water pressure was too strong when the ship fell just now, which burst the No. 1 and No. 2 ballast pools! And before opening the water inlet valve. Stones were sucked in, and not only did they break a drain, but now they are jamming the valve port! ā
This news made everyone's hearts tremble, Zheng Yikang's body shook even more, he who had been tense almost endured fainting, barely standing firmly, but his tone had completely changed with trembling: "Completely block the No. 1 and No. 2 ballast pools and the affected areas!" ā
Su Nan interrupted Zheng Yikang's words with tears and said: "It's useless to close it, the affected ballast pools No. 3, 5, and 6 have been almost filled with water, and the valves are not closed, under the influence of water pressure, these cabins will explode sooner or later!" ā
In fact, there is no big problem with the ballast pool bursting, the ballast pool was originally designed to fill it with water, even if all the ballast pools are filled with water, the cruise ship will not sink, but Lu You They are now on the whirlpool of terror!
The ballast tank is filled with water, which makes the ship sail more stable, but it will undoubtedly increase the speed of the cruise ship by adding so much mass, and if the horsepower of the cruise ship is not enough to propel it forward, it will undoubtedly be swallowed up by the whirlpool.
Wen Zikai, as the first mate, is the person who knows the situation best except Zheng Yikang, looked at the console in front of him, and said after quickly calculating: "There are a total of 18 ballast pools, and now 6 cabins have been filled with water, and our horsepower has reached 85 percent now, if 2 more cabins are filled with water, it will be the limit of the ship!" ā
Lu You narrowed his eyes and asked loudly at Wen Zikai, "How much time is left?!" ā
Wen Zikai was stunned for a moment, quickly calculated and said: "The other drain can still operate, but the drainage speed is still slower than the water inlet speed, and it can support it for about 30 minutes!" ā
30 minutes, in fact, if it was calculated according to the straight-line distance, the comet would have been able to leave here a long time ago, but the power of the vortex is too strong, even if the vortex comes out, but in the influence range of the vortex, Zheng Yikang can only use the same method as before, while using the vortex to accelerate, while spinning and slowly moving away.
Lu You secretly calculated, 30 minutes is not a short time, so he planned to go down and try it himself, after all, the information fed back from Su Nan was that the valve was stuck by the stone, so if someone could get the stone off, then the valve would be able to close.
After Lu You spoke, Shi had already guessed his thoughts, called a sailor next to him, and said to Lu You: "Let's go, let's follow him." ā
Although the Comet cruise ship is small in this amazing whirlpool, it is definitely majestic, and it took them about ten minutes to take the elevator and take a shortcut, and it took them about ten minutes to go down from the third floor of the ship to the lowest level of the ship.
"The ballast pool is down there!"
Su Nan met the three of them, walked around the empty and damp steel corridor a few times, pulled open a closed manhole cover below the end of the walkway, and walked down first.
After the manhole cover was opened, Lu You had already heard the sound of boiling water, and when he followed Su Nan down, he saw several large iron boxes like rooms, and at the very end, two of them were constantly spraying water outward, and after pressurization, the water that sprayed out was like a high-pressure water gun, and it was shot on the steel floor to form a bursting splashing effect.
