Chapter 242: Maritime Disaster

The first mate and others who were sitting on the escape speedboat suddenly noticed a turbulent wave coming from behind, and when they looked back, they saw the half-sunken steamer, and their eyes suddenly became blurred: "Captain! ā€

Because the violent whirlpool formed by the sinking of the ship can strangle anyone who falls into the water at close range, not to mention that there is a huge monster waiting on the side, Tian Zhen has no chance of surviving. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

A few hours later, the first mate and the others had just landed on Ceylon soil and wanted to tell the Ceylon naval monster about it. But they were surrounded by twenty or thirty reporters, and one by one the microphones reached their mouths like sticks.

"You encountered a sea monster, and the ship you were on was sunk by it?" "I heard that Captain Tian Zhen stayed on the ship in order to fight for your life?" "Your life can be said to have been exchanged for Captain Tian Zhen, how do you feel now?" "Captain Tian Zhen is really great, and before he died, he also informed the surrounding ships, what kind of person is he in normal times?"

Countless questions piled up in front of the first mate and others, and it seemed that they would not stop until they were drowned. People who had never experienced such a scene suddenly felt that the flashing lights were so dazzling that they could only see the bright and shining, and they could not answer a single question.

It turns out that being a star is not easy! They felt so in their hearts.

"Let's go, there have been monster attacks on ships all over the world, so you don't need to stay here to interview a few dirt buns who can't even speak." I don't know who yelled loudly, and the reporters dispersed like birds, and they walked away cleanly.

The abandoned first mate and others felt cold in their hearts, and a strong sense of loss hit their hearts, and they wanted to say to the reporters who left quickly: Don't go, we are all ready to answer questions!

The Internet boiled, first a giant sea monster appeared in the waters near Ceylon to attack the ship, and then it was wiped out by the Ceylon Navy. This incident evoked the memories of netizens, remembering the sea monster attack in Sendai, Japan, and suddenly exclaimed: The sea monster has appeared again!

From the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Asia, Africa, America and Europe, many ships transporting supplies were attacked, and more than 60 ships were sunk. Only a few crew members escaped, and most of them died in the mouth of the sea monster.

The casualties frightened the crew, who refused to operate the boat, and the insurance company declared the sea monster attack a force majeure, requiring a five-fold increase in premiums. The steamship company, which was attacked from both sides, had to anchor its ships at Haikou, and for a time sea shipping was almost cut off.

Even today, shipping is still the most important means of transporting bulk materials on the earth, and as soon as the world's shipping stops, the stock markets of all countries around the world have fallen, and the world is green. Many individuals and companies that speculate in stocks have suffered heavy losses, and many have gone bankrupt.

All countries know that if maritime safety is not addressed, a sharp economic recession and a large number of workers lose their jobs, and the collapse of the national economy is not impossible.

The armaments of the major powers are sufficient, and they have sent warships to escort them, such as China's escort of the Malacca-to-Middle East and Africa routes, and the United States' escort of the Los Angeles-East Asia and New York-London lines.

Small countries such as Ceylon and Singapore were miserable, their weak navies were simply not able to sail far, and their economies began to be in turmoil. The Philippines asked the American father for help, but because it was not an important trading country of the United States, it was not as important as China and Japan, and could not be protected by the US Navy, so it could only look at the ocean and sigh.

The Philippines is not the first, there are many coastal countries like it, even if it has excellent ports and abundant raw materials, but it can only guard Baoshan and starve, and the domestic economy is constantly sliding towards the abyss.

China, the United States, Japan, the European Union and other big countries are also not very comfortable, and cargo ships can only be gathered and formed a team with warships before they dare to sail. Efficiency has been greatly reduced, cheap raw materials and markets have been lost in some small countries, and the domestic economic situation has slowly declined, and there seems to be no turning around.

With the sea barely maintained, air transport has received unprecedented attention, and the major powers dare not imagine that if one day air transport is also interrupted, will the economy decline to thirty or forty years ago?

After the great powers were shocked, the power that erupted was very amazing, and the warships were like the Grim Reaper harvesting the sea monsters in their sight. However, they found that the ocean was too vast, and it was impossible to completely eradicate the sea monsters, and they could only barely ensure the safety of the main shipping routes.

After the global freight broke off the pillar of sea freight, people thought of land transport and air transport, but both modes of transport have limitations, and the carrying capacity is too small to replace the blank space after the disappearance of sea freight.

Thousands of aircraft orders have crowded aircraft manufacturers, but because of the complexity of aircraft production technology, production cannot be expanded if it is wanted. It will take about four years to complete the production of orders that have skyrocketed by seven or eight times, and it is still not in the case of receiving new orders.

At this time, countries suddenly remembered the anti-gravity technology announced by the magic energy company, and increased the production plan of anti-gravity core components. It didn't take long for atmospheric spacecraft using anti-gravity technology to shuttle between continents.

The manufacturing requirements of atmospheric spacecraft are much lower than those of spaceships, and countries such as China, the United States, Japan, and Russia, which have a strong industrial base, are frantically producing to undertake the transportation of bulk materials. The fuel consumed is several times larger than that of a ship, but it is better than being cut off by a sea monster.

Zhang Ju only had to look up in the direction of the port, and he could see four or five small black dots moving slowly in the air, looking very clumsy, like a group of small beetles flying in the sky. But he knew that those black spots that looked like small beetles were actually atmospheric spaceships about 100 meters long, which were used to transport some high-value bulk materials.

At present, only some large industrially developed countries can produce it, and a small country like Ceylon does not have the same strength, after all, the country cannot even build ships and automobiles, let alone atmospheric spacecraft, which are more difficult to build than airplanes.

"I really didn't expect that in just a few days, the changes would be so big, as if I had advanced into the future for twenty or thirty years. Atmospheric spaceships, which usually appear only in science fiction novels, appeared before my eyes. ā€

Chen Xi put down the binoculars and looked like he was full of emotion, "If it weren't for the United States, Japan, the European Union and other countries forcing us to hand over anti-gravity technology, the magic energy company would definitely be the company with the highest market value in the world now." It's so hateful! ā€

Zhang Ju smiled and said: "It's quite interesting now, if some people haven't been on the Internet for a week, now they see these atmospheric spacecraft, they will probably think that they have crossed it."

Now that sea monsters are rampant, it doesn't matter how much money you make, what matters is how many atmospheric spaceships you have, and whether you can build a spaceship. These two types of spaceships, how is the production of the magic energy company? (To be continued.) )
