Chapter 2 Below Sea Level
Due to the failure of the navigation system and equipment on the yacht, it is difficult to distinguish the direction in the vast sea, and it coincides with the heavy rain, and the dark sky from time to time splits sharp lightning, like a sharp sword, cutting the dark night sky in half.
Xu Jiandong held the rudder tightly with both hands, staring at the dim sea, the yacht floated with the waves on the sea, one moment was lifted into the sky, and the other was sent into the depths of the waves, the rain mixed with the sea water continued to impact and wash the deck and the whole ship.
The heavy rain crackled the cockpit portholes, but fortunately, the high-strength tempered fiber windshield had enough strength and toughness to otherwise be shattered by the raindrops the size of bean particles.
The wipers on the cab porthole were swaying desperately from side to side, cleaning the rain from the glass.
Xinyu stood beside Xu Jiandong, holding on to an iron railing on the bridge, his eyes showing horror and uneasiness.
There were only three of them in the women's lounge, Xiaoting, Xiaoli and Xiaoyun, playing cards.
Chen Tao, Toothpick and Zhao Bing rested on the beds in the men's lounge.
Zhao Bing looked up at the porthole and said, "The rain outside is really not small, what is this raining, I think it's pouring rain............ ”
Chen Tao turned over, glanced at him, and said nothing.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor, and it turned out that Xiaoting and Xiaomei were seasick, and they ran into the bathroom in a panic and vomited.
Zhao Bing tilted his head sideways and said, "Who is running, what are you doing, what's the emergency assembly?" ”
In the cockpit, the big man held binoculars, nervously observing the sea, and from time to time reported to Xu Jiandong, who was at the helm, the situation in front of the sea.
The thin man and the little army were both busy in the engine room of the yacht.
Xiao Jun is the chief engineer and mechanic of this yacht, in other words, without him, this small yacht worth 100 million yuan would not be able to sail, of course, the work of Xu Jiandong and Xiao Yu is also very important.
On the radar display screen in the cockpit, a small bright spot appeared at this time, and Xiao Yu, who was sitting here, reported to Xu Jiandong: "Mr. Xu, there is an abnormal situation found 1000 meters ahead, please come and take a look!" ”
"What's the situation? What did you find? Xu Jiandong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yu looked at the green bright spot on the screen and said puzzledly: "It's not clear what it is at the moment, it looks like a round plate."
"It's okay, let's just get out of the way, maybe it's a school of fish under the bottom of the sea or something, or maybe it's an underwater reef." Saying that, Xu Dong turned the turbine rudder half a circle to the left, and the head of the yacht gradually turned to the left.
The dot on the radar screen was larger, but it was clearly off the front of the yacht, and had run to the right, unless it would rush towards it if it wanted to hit it.
Xu Jiandong thought to himself, no matter what it was, a reef or a small boat or something, as long as the direction was off, it would be OK.
This double-scullled four-engine yacht was bought for him by his father from abroad when Xu Dong celebrated his birthday and spent more than 100 million yuan to buy it.
Speaking of Xu Dong's father, he is not an ordinary person, a tycoon in the real estate industry, with a family fortune of billions, it is more than enough to buy such a yacht, if his son is happy, even an aircraft carrier will dare to buy him to drive and play.
The yacht has a total length of 68 meters, a total width of 9 meters, and a height of 13 meters on the surface of the water, which is divided into two floors, with a floor below deck, and a total of more than a dozen rest rooms.
Because it is Xu Dong's own choice of style, the natural appearance is not bad, and even the name of the yacht is Dongyu, which means that he and his beloved girlfriend Xia Xinyu.
The yacht is not slow either, and it can reach a top speed of 45 knots on calm seas, but it is completely impossible to meet the weather tonight.
In the wind and waves of the rainy night, they did not dare to drive at full power, so they could only sail at low speed.
The hull of the boat floated up and down in the rough sea, and the water rushed to the deck from time to time like a ferocious beast.
There was only a distance of more than 100 meters from the green bright spot, and Xiao Yu turned his head to Xu Dong and said, "Mr. Xu, this thing is still in place and has not moved." ”
"It's fine, ignore it, I think it's a reef underwater. That's a lot of space. Xu Jiandong said calmly.
The big man Lao Hu stood at the observation window of the cockpit, nervously looking at the sea with a military telescope, and saw nothing except the waves and the pouring rain.
"Lao Hu, have you seen anything?" Xu Jiandong glanced at the big man Lao Hu and asked, the big man Lao Hu put down the binoculars, rubbed his tired eyes and said, "I didn't see anything fucking, my eyes were full of sea water and rain, and the tears in Lao Tzu's eyes ......." ”
"Mr. Xu, that thing is 30 meters away from our starboard side!" Xiao Yu said suddenly at this time, Xu Jiandong turned his head and glanced at the image displayed on the radar screen, and the bright spot was already very big at the moment.
"What the hell is this, how big can it be? Is it really a reef area? It's impossible, there are no islands or anything in the middle of the ocean, where did such a big reef come from, isn't it possible that there is a shallow beach in the middle of the seabed that no one can find? Xu Jiandong muttered to himself in his heart.
The big old man picked up the binoculars again, ran to the porthole on the right, and looked out at the sea.
Seeing this, Xu Jiandong said: "Don't look at Lao Hu, it may be a large area of reefs, just ............be careful." ”
Everyone was temporarily relieved when they heard him say this, and their hanging hearts finally let go.
Xinyu walked to Xu Jiandong's side and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
Xu Jiandong held the rudder wheel with one hand, and Xinyu with the other, and kissed her lightly on the forehead, which was regarded as comforting her not to be afraid, everything was with him.
The rain outside is gradually getting lighter, and the wind is not as strong as it was just now.
The big man Lao Hu came over at this time and said to Xu Jiandong: "Lao Xu, it's been almost two hours, and you're quite tired, go and rest with Xinyu, let me have a meeting." ”
Xu Jiandong glanced at the big man Lao Hu, smiled at him and said, "Lao Hu......... Have you ever sailed a boat before? It's not the same as driving. ”
Shaking his head, the big man said: "I have driven a speedboat before, and I have never driven a big boat, but can anything be mastered through learning, what do you say?" ”
Xu Jiandong heard what he said, smiled at him and said: "Dude, some knowledge is definitely not in a hurry, for example, this ship is no better than an ordinary yacht, it is all in English, I just read * as an explanation for more than half a year, and I haven't fully mastered it..............."
Seeing that the big man didn't say anything, Xu Jiandong paused and said, "I think so, you go to the lounge and call Chen Tao over." ”
In desperation, the big man Lao Hu had no choice but to agree, turned around and went down to the cabin to find Chen Tao.
Xu Jiandong stroked Xinyu's hair, and Xinyu smiled happily, looking very sweet.
Suddenly, I heard someone coughing behind him, and it turned out to be Chen Tao coming up.
"Brother Xu, you and your sister-in-law should go down and rest quickly, I'll be in charge here." Chen Tao said and took over the rudder in Xu Dong's hand.
Letting go of the rudder, Xu Jiandong stopped Xinyu's waist and said to Chen Tao: "Be careful, brother, pay attention to the sea in front of you, don't be too fast, just keep a medium speed, anyway, we have time, and we will find it back if we drive quickly during the day, you know, besides, there may be reefs in this water." ”
Patting his chest, Chen Tao said: "Don't worry, Brother Xu, didn't I drive this boat, or did you teach it, why did you forget it so quickly?" ”
Xu Jiandong smiled when he heard this, thought to himself, turned around and went down to rest in the cabin with Xinyu.
The fat man woke up at this time, walked into the cockpit to help, and asked Xiao Yu when he didn't see Xu Jiandong: "Xiao Yu, where is Lao Xu?" ”
Xiao Yu turned his head to look at the fat man and said, "You woke up the fat brother, Brother Xu and his sister-in-law went down to rest." ”
nodded, turned his head and looked at Chen Tao again and said, "Alas!? I said Chen Tao, will you drive this ship worth hundreds of millions of yuan? This is not this broken car, you can't afford to accompany me if you overturn. ”
Chen Tao was a little angry when he heard this, so he said: "Fatty, you'd better be careful when you speak, don't say it so ugly, you know, what can't be translated, I think you can do anything good for the public in addition to eating, drinking, playing, and having fun all day long, and then you are talking about idleness!" ”
"Grandma, is your kid's skin a little tight, is it looking for a beating, don't be unconvinced, I said, if you have a kind of words, go head-to-head with your buddy, see if I don't fall to death your turtle son!" When the fat man heard the fire, he pointed at Chen Tao and said provocatively.
Chen Tao let go of the rudder, turned around and glared and said, "Okay! You're going to kill me, but you have to prepare hundreds of thousands of tickets and your big fat head in advance! ”
As soon as Xiao Yu on the side heard that these two people were going to fight, he got up and came over to persuade him to fight.
The fat man waved his fist at Chen Tao and said, "For the sake of our doctoral student Xiaoyu, I will be cheap for you today, or Lao Tzu will have to throw you into the sea and feed Wang Ba!" ”
Chen Tao glared at him fiercely and said coldly: "Don't say those useless words, if you have the ability, you will kill me!" After saying that, he returned to the driving position and held the steering wheel of the rudder.
The fat man scolded and picked up the military binoculars, looked at the surrounding sea, and chattered while watching: "His grandmother's, where the fuck is this, how did you come to such a place where you can't see the edge, it's been fucking running for a few days, we ................" ”
The rain had stopped, the sky was still overcast and dark, and the sea was gradually calming again.
The fat man opened the hatch, and a fresh sea breeze blew in, refreshing his spirits, he stretched out his thick arms, shook his fat head, and walked out of the cockpit, taking the military binoculars, and humming a pop song onto the deck.
In the binoculars, the fat man suddenly saw a blurry shadow in the distance, a long and large, black, seemingly small island.
The fat man thought to himself, "Fuck it, I'll see where I'm going, let's just play on this island." After thinking about it, he turned into the cockpit and said loudly: "Comrades......!" The destination is already close at hand, I think we will be able to land on the beach in another twenty minutes, so we have to prepare for going ashore, and I will report to Mr. Xu! ”
After listening to the fat man's nonsense, Chen Tao pursed his mouth and said in his heart: "Hmph! I think you've played too many games, and you're still rushing to land, so it's ......... strange if you really go to the battlefield like a bear and don't use it as a target for others. ”
The fat man didn't pay any attention to the two of them, put the military binoculars on the bridge, turned around and ran directly under the cabin to call the rest of the people.
Xu Jiandong opened his eyes and looked at his watch, and scolded: "Alas, ......! I said, fatty, what are you shouting so early, can't you sleep more and be lazy? The rooster hasn't crowed yet, so you're going to crow first! Annoying no! ”
Looking at Xu Jiandong and Xinyu lying on the bed, the fat man said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry Brother Xu, I'm sorry to disturb you two, but I woke up naturally from sleep......... By the way, brother, I came to tell you good news. ”
When Xu Jiandong heard this, he sat up from the bed and asked the fat man: "Hurry up, what is the good news, why did you win the lottery, so excited?!" ”
"Hehe, it's definitely not as simple as winning the lottery, besides, I've never won five dollars when I buy lottery tickets......... Don't talk about this, I digress, I came to tell you that our landing day is coming........." The fat man said to him proudly.
"What? Landing day? You mean you saw an island in front of you, right? Xu Jiandong said as he got out of bed.
The fat man gave a thumbs up and said, "It's still your old Xu who is smart, you can guess it, admire!" ”
At this time, the rest of the people in the lounge were also woken up by his loud voice, and they came over to see what was going on.
Xu Jiandong put on a coat, led everyone to the deck, and looked towards the front of the yacht, and sure enough, about a few kilometers ahead, there was a blur
