Chapter 133: Danger or Danger (2)
Captain Cheng Yuan suddenly walked out of the cockpit at this time, and shouted something at Yang Jun and Company Commander Wang and others standing on the deck below, because they were far away, they couldn't hear clearly for a while, but they could see from his actions that something urgent must have happened.
Seeing this, Yang Jun turned off the shooting safety of the Israeli P90 submachine gun in his hand, handed it to Dong Jianlin, and said, "Brother Dong, you are waiting for me here, and I will go and see the situation." After speaking, he turned around and ran quickly to the side of the side ladder with Company Commander Wang, one after the other, and climbed up with a few clicks.
"Brother Yang, Company Commander Wang, something is wrong, all the electronic and communication equipment on the Xinyun has failed, I don't know what caused it, it was normal a few minutes ago." Captain Cheng Yuan hurriedly said.
Hearing this, Yang Jun and Lian Commander Wang were shocked.
"Captain Cheng, why don't you use the walkie-talkie to call, is the walkie-talkie out of power?" Yang Jun said as he took the walkie-talkie from a distance.
Cheng Yuan said: "I have already shouted, but it is useless, there is a noise in the handstand, and I can't hear anything clearly." ”
Yang Jun knew in his heart that the failure of the various equipment on the current Xinyun must be related to the alien spacecraft, otherwise the electronic navigation and other equipment on the ship would not have lost its function for no reason.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to Company Commander Wang on the side and said, "Company Commander Wang, you go back to the deck first, and order everyone to pay close attention to the movements of that spaceship and be ready to fire at any time." ”
Company Commander Wang nodded after hearing this, turned around and walked out of the cockpit.
Yang Jun knows very well what the consequences of the failure of the ship's navigation system and various instruments are, in that case, you can only sail by intuitive judgment, but in this unfamiliar sea, the reef may appear at any time, and the possibility of collision will be great.
Yang Jun came to the console, now, all the instruments and meters on this ship seem to be on strike, none of them can move, the picture on the color navigation map is stationary, and it is shaking slightly, and the scanning wave on the radar has also stopped.
However, what is also puzzling to Yang Jun is that the engine of this 10,000-ton giant ship is still working.
Seeing this, Yang Jun rushed to the bridge, snatched the rudder from the first mate's hand, and hit the steering wheel to the left, because he wanted to try it to see if the rudder at the stern of the boat was working properly.
Disappointingly, there was still no reaction, the rudder just turned uselessly, but the freighter did not change its course.
Yang Jun tried to reduce the speed again, however, the two * longitudinal rods did not obey the call at all, and they were like nothing.
Cold sweat was already oozing from his forehead, and Yang Jun eagerly asked Captain Cheng Yuan: "Captain Cheng, what is the speed of this ship now?" ”
Cheng Yuan glanced at the speedometer and said, "Thirty knots, it's a medium-speed drive now." ”
Hearing this, Yang Jun handed over the rudder to the first mate, picked up the ranging telescope and ran to the porthole, and observed it directly in front of the direction of the Xinyun, he wanted to see if there would be an island in front of him, if that was really the case, then, in the case of the failure of the ship's equipment and control system, it would directly rush to the island, and even before it got close to the shore, the reef in the sea would break the hull, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Often that's the way things are, the more you are afraid of something, the more he will come.
Directly west of the Xinyun's forward direction, that is, in the southwest direction, a long black shadow appeared.
"Fuck, that's such a coincidence, what the fuck is this? Don't be islands or anything like that. Yang Jun kept adjusting the focal knob on the telescope while scolding, and observed carefully.
An island with an area of about a few tens of square kilometers appeared less than thirty nautical miles ahead.
The island is covered with a lot of green vegetation, with a few high peaks in the middle and a relatively flat southwest side.
"Fuck, there's trouble here, there's an island in front of you, look at that area, Lao Cheng, if you let this ship continue to sail, I think it won't take more than twenty minutes to hit the island, do you have any way to stop this ship?"
After Cheng Yuan heard this, he looked at Yang Jun and said, "I can't guarantee that there is a way, but I don't know if it will work?" ”
"Captain Cheng, just hurry up, what is the solution?" Yang Jun urged him eagerly.
"Turn off the engine, we only need to turn off the engine a few nautical miles from the island, let the inertia of the ship slowly lower down, and there will not be much danger when we get close to the shore." Captain Cheng Yuan said.
"Is this really possible?" Yang Jun asked a little skeptically.
Cheng Yuan looked at the island that was gradually approaching, and said to Yang Jun decisively: "There is no more secure method than this method at present. ”
As if encouraging Cheng Yuan, Yang Jun patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, Captain Cheng, let's do it according to the method you just said!" ”
Cheng Yuan nodded after hearing this, agreed, and immediately ordered the sailors on the side to go down and notify the technicians in the engine room to turn off the engine immediately.
Dong Jianlin, Company Commander Wang, and others on the deck also saw the small island not far away, and they were all shocked into a cold sweat, knowing what the consequences would be if they collided with it.
Seeing this, Company Commander Wang hurriedly ordered several veterans of the special forces: "Go to the elevator cabin immediately, prepare a boat for escape and some necessary equipment, and prepare for retreat!" ”
Several veterans said yes and rushed into the cabin to get ready to go.
Yang Jun poked his head out of the side porthole of the cockpit because he wanted to see if the alien spaceship hanging high in the air was still there.
At this moment, the spaceship had become the size of a ping-pong ball.
Yang Jun scolded in his heart: "Fuck, these aliens must have done this on purpose, wanting us to crash into that island with this 10,000-ton giant ship, it's too poisonous, how should we deal with it?" ”
He looked at the spaceship in mid-air, thinking about what to do.
Suddenly..............................
A blue light flashed around the spaceship, flashed a few times, turned into a white light, and the alien spaceship hanging high in the sky disappeared in a flash.
In the blue sky, only a few white cotton-wool-like clouds were left fluttering.
The speed of the spaceship is so fast that it can only be described as the speed of light.
All this, only Yang Jun was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses, and thought: "My good man, what kind of engine and fuel is used to drive such a behemoth, this speed is too amazing, it seems that the technology of the earthlings may not be able to catch up with them in another hundred years." ”
Dong Jianlin, Company Commander Wang and others on the deck also witnessed the scene of the alien spacecraft disappearing without a trace in an instant just now, and for a while, the people on the deck began to talk as if they were boiling a pot.
In a few minutes, this 10,000-ton ocean-going giant ship will directly hit the island in front of it.
Everyone on the ship panicked, and several veterans of the special forces sent out by Company Commander Wang ran to the deck one after another to resume their lives.
Yang Jun turned his head and asked Captain Cheng Yuan: "Captain Cheng, the engine of the Xinyun has stopped working, why is this ship still moving forward?!" ”
"No, it stands to reason that it should slow down at this time, Xiao Jiang, you hurry to the engine room to see what's going on?" Captain Cheng Yuan took over the rudder and commanded the first mate.
The first mate Xiao Jiang agreed, and as soon as he walked to the door of the cabin, the sailor who was sent down ran up in a panic, and said to the captain Cheng Yuan breathlessly: "No...... Oh no...... Captain! Engine shutdown of the engine......... I can't stop, all the control switches are ......... It all didn't work, and the two mechanics ......... I didn't ......... for a long time. No result, I think......... Let's abandon ship! ”
Captain Cheng Yuanchang Yang Jun was shocked when he heard this.
If the Xinyun's engines could not be turned off, in a few minutes, the ship would crash into the island, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
The people on the deck watched the Xinyun rush towards the island not far away, and there was chaos for a while.
Seeing this, Company Commander Wang shouted loudly: "Comrades, everyone be quiet! Be quiet! Hear me first! ”
After hearing Company Commander Wang's shout, the crowd on the deck quieted down a little, and everyone's eyes were on Company Commander Wang in front of them, waiting for him to make an idea.
"Comrades, don't panic, we have prepared the speedboat for escape, now we will start evacuating in order!" Company Commander Wang said.
Without waiting for everyone to start moving, it is strange to say that more than two minutes after the disappearance of the spaceship, all the instruments on the Xinyun miraculously returned to normal operation.
Seeing this, Cheng Yuan hurriedly handed over the rudder to the first mate Xiao Jiang and ordered: "Fifteen degrees to the left rudder, stop, pay attention to dodging the underwater reef!" ”
With Xiao Jiang's movements, the bow of the 10,000-ton Shiju ship changed its direction significantly, staggering the impact angle with the island, and at the same time, the speed also decreased, and the navigation route map on the ship returned to normal.
Captain Cheng Yuan shouted happily after seeing it: "Brother Yang, it's okay now, the equipment on the ship is normal again, it's really hanging." ”
Yang Jun nodded, and a hanging heart finally let go.
When the people on deck saw this, they all cheered and jumped for joy, yes, they were celebrating the blessing of the Grim Reaper.
"Aquaman! I'm Hailong, please reply when you receive it! Yang Jun picked up the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and called.
"I'm Aquaman, please tell me when I receive it!" Company Commander Wang replied.
"All the systems on the Xinyun are back to normal, back to normal!" Yang Jun repeated.
After hearing this, Company Commander Wang nodded and replied, "Okay, Sea King received it!" ”
The crowd on deck cheered again.
After Yang Jun finished shouting, he pinned the walkie-talkie to his shoulder, said hello to Captain Cheng Yuan, and walked down the side ladder of the cockpit to the deck.
Company Commander Wang and Tong Zheng, as well as Dong Jianlin and others, hurriedly greeted them.
"Yang Jun, did you see it just now, the speed of that spaceship is really fucking fast, I think the existing weapons invented by our human beings are difficult to deal with them at all, unless we use not very mature laser weapons, like any missile rockets and the like, even the shadow of others can't catch up." Dong Jianlin said.
Company Commander Wang said with some joy: "Fortunately, we didn't act rashly just now, and fired first, otherwise if they were to use the laser weapons on the spaceship, all of us earthlings would have been killed by now, and even this 10,000-ton giant ship would have been sunk." ”
After hearing this, Yang Jun nodded and said: "What Company Commander Wang said is not false at all, and it is not an alarmist rumor, laser weapons can indeed cause disastrous consequences to the target attacked, if you ............ just now It's a bit scary to think about it, I think they acted in a hostile way to avenge the alien companions we shot, but then for some reason, they gave up their attack. ”
After hearing this, Dong Jianlin said with a smile: "Alas! Maybe it hates war, too, but now the world is preaching peace, and I think the shock wave of peace has infected aliens. ”
Yang Jun, Company Commander Wang and others burst out laughing when they heard this.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the Xinyun was already close to the edge of the island a nautical mile, and Yang Jun asked the captain Cheng Yuan to anchor and stop the ship.
Everyone had been busy for most of the day, and they were already hungry, so they all went into the dining room in the cabin to prepare for dinner.
Dong Jianlin opened a bottle of beer for each of Yang Jun and Company Commander Wang, poured a full glass himself, raised it and said to everyone: "Come!" Brother Yang, Company Commander Wang, Company Commander Tong Zheng, and all the comrades here, let's have a toast to survival together! ”
"Brother Dong, we will go to the island in a while, it is better to drink less wine!" Yang Jun reminded him.
"Haha! It's okay, just drink a bottle of more, come! "For the smooth search for a job in the next step, do!" After speaking, do it first as respect.
Seeing this, Yang Jun, Lian Commander Wang and others were helpless, and they also raised their glasses and drank them all.
After the meal, in the conference room of the freighter, Company Commander Wang and Yang Jun called everyone to the conference room and arranged the next action task.
Since the island to be landed on is relatively large, and it is impossible to search for it in a day, it is necessary to divide the troops into two routes and conduct an outflanking search, so it is necessary to consider spending the night on the island.
A total of thirty people were divided into three groups, one group was led by Yang Jun, the other group was led by Company Commander Wang, and one group was led by Company Commander Tong, temporarily staying on the Xinyun and responsible for the reinforcements of the two groups.
