Chapter 132: The Vortex of the Sea
Although the ship has not stabilized yet, he is not worried, the movements in his hands are becoming more and more smooth, and he continues to command Wen Zikai: "Turn the No. 1 and No. 4 thrusters into normal mode, and start the No. 5 and No. 6 backup thrusters to assist!" Let's get out of here first! ”
There was no obstacle to the stone wall in front of him, and behind him was the water surface that was gradually beginning to sink, the current was chaotic and urgent, but the comet was stubbornly and firmly advancing forward, which made Lu You and the others breathe a sigh of relief.

"Although the Comet cruise ship is also one of the best thrusters in the world, with 360-degree propulsion and steering capabilities, which makes the operation of the ship more flexible, but after all, the ship is moving forward, and the thrusters designed for this goal must also run more smoothly forward."
Although the form was still very nervous, Zheng Yikang was interested, and he didn't know whether to explain the adventure to Lu You and them, or whether he was comforting himself: "The backward thruster can only exert a maximum efficiency of sixty to eighty percent, but the forward thruster can exert a maximum of one hundred and eighty percent of the power!" ”
These two huge differences are the reason why Zheng Yikang is desperate to take risks, now the whirlpool has not yet appeared, but the water flow is already very chaotic, and when it is really necessary to deal with emergencies, not to mention the difference of nearly double the horsepower, even if it is an increase of one percent of the power, it may affect the weight of the life and death of the entire ship.
"Look!"
And soon what happened in front of Lu You and their eyes proved that Zheng Yikang's choice was undoubtedly wise, because after the steamer had just sailed out of the mountainous range, an exclamation made everyone's eyes shift to a certain screen, and the pictures on the screen all made everyone's backs chill. Frightened!
It was captured by a camera mounted at the stern of the ship, and the vacant land of the factory, which used to be a scrap metal pile, was now gone, replaced by a circular crater several meters concave from the surrounding sea!
There is no doubt that the crater is the prototype of a horrible vortex in the making, probably because it is too large to swallow too much water at once. Even if the circle with a diameter of more than several kilometers sinks a few meters, it is still not so obvious, if someone doesn't find it with the sharp eyes, I'm afraid that when this whirlpool really forms, Lu You and they will have no chance to leave.
"We're connected to the base! The base is now transmitting satellite data! ”
There was a technician who had been busy working on the side, and the ship shook several times just now, which made him fall very embarrassed, but at this time he screamed in surprise, and Lu You and the others soon saw a map of their sea area on a new screen. Although the quality of the shooting was a little hazy because of the volcanic ash, it was enough for Lu You and them to see clearly.
The Comet cruise ship is only the size of a grain of rice on the map, but the black circular area where it is located is the size of a jade plate, not to mention that the influence area of the whirlpool is much larger than that of the sea eye, let's just say that now, if this whirlpool is formed. The Comet will be swept into the bottom of the sea!
and the base is connected and authorized by the central government. The direct use of satellite real-time shooting to choose the optimal route and avoid dangers at sea in advance was a previously planned plan, but due to insufficient equipment, some equipment that was inconvenient to transport was left on the command ship. So even if the two technicians in charge of this area have been busy, they have not been able to get it done until just now, but what they didn't expect to see at first glance was not good news, but the fact that everyone was weak.
It turned out that the circle they had just found was several kilometers in diameter. It's just the center of the circle, and the scope of this whirlpool is even more terrifying!
"30 degrees to the right, increase the power of the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 4 thrusters to 70 percent!"
At this time, it was no longer Lu You or Shi who could dominate the life of the entire ship, but Zheng Yikang, who was holding the rudder, after seeing the satellite map, his face was already a little pale, but he still resisted the fear and pressure, gritted his teeth and ordered loudly.
After the ship deflected 30 degrees, the speed of the ship suddenly more than doubled, just because by this time the ship was already turning in a rapid circle along the whirlpool!
If there is no external force, nothing that falls into the whirlpool can avoid the fate of being pulled and swallowed.
Now Zheng Yikang has moved the ship into the rotating trajectory of the whirlpool, although the speed of the ship has been increased, but it will be constantly pulled closer to the center, and the speed will get faster and faster.
Of course, Zheng Yikang is not looking for death, but looking for the last ray of life, the comet has great horsepower, but if you want to go straight out of the whirlpool, it is almost impossible to complete, not to mention the pulling force of the whirlpool, the water is constantly spinning, so that the big ship cannot get out of the straight line.
On the contrary, now that the steamer has been moving along the steering of the whirlpool, it can continue to accelerate with the thrust of the current, what Zheng Yikang needs to do is to keep the ship stable, and carefully increase the horsepower, get out of the pull of the whirlpool, and drive the ship outward.
The luxury cruise ship of hundreds of meters, under the acceleration of the terror whirlpool, was driven out of the momentum of a speedboat by Zheng Yikang, and I am afraid that at the current speed of the ship, even the speedboats that Lu You had seen before could not catch up.
In such a tense atmosphere, the passage of time has become silent, the center of the middle circle of the whirlpool has completely collapsed, forming a man-eating black hole that is directly several kilometers long, and the sea water with an astonishing flow speed even has the destructive power of a tornado, and some huge stones that were rolled up from the bottom of the sea with a volume like a hill were directly crushed into slag in an instant, and the end was extremely terrifying!
The sea on which the ship was located had sunken down, and the entire sea could be seen on the satellite map in the shape of a bowl, and the Comet was about a third of the way from the edge of the bowl.
The whole ship has been seriously tilted to the right, and it is not easy to even stand, and when you look down, you can see a black hole tens of nearly 100 meters deep below, and it is obvious that the land that was originally dozens of meters underwater is the bottom of the sea has sunk away!
And looking up, you can see more than ten meters high in the rapid flow of water curtain, this kind of terrifying and magnificent picture, people are amazed and intimidating, in front of nature, in front of the whole ocean, the magnificent and majestic comet, just like a small toy boat, can not give Lu You even a little sense of security.
