Chapter 164: Lost in the Ocean
Dong Jianlin still asked in a daze: "What's the noise, boss, I'm sleeping soundly, as soon as you turn on the light, I will wake up.........
Yang Jun thought to himself, you didn't fucking hear the loud noise outside, is there a problem with your ears, or is there a problem with my ears, don't worry about anything for now, just go out and have a look. After thinking about it, he removed the Type 95 assault rifle from the bulkhead, pulled the bolt with a bang, checked the ammunition situation, and rushed out of the lounge.
"Squad leader, aren't there still so many veterans in charge of vigilance outside, what can happen to them, and what they can't solve......... Why did Team Yang have to go by himself? Deng Yi, the third squad leader, said puzzled.
What he said was not unreasonable, as far as the veterans of the special forces outside, not to mention one enemy and ten, at least seven or eight enemies would not have to deal with anything, and besides, they all had powerful firepower in their hands.
Dong Jianlin had already put on his shoes, picked up the Type 95 assault rifle, and said to him: "The tiger still has time to nap, let alone people, hurry up, don't be wordy............
Yang Jun was the first to step out of the cabin.
The air outside was very cold, and he immediately shivered, thinking that this was the fucking weather in July, where did such a cold wind come from, it was really abnormal, he thought as he walked outside.
When he stood on the deck, he found that the surrounding was overcast, and the dark clouds overhead were rolling like boiling pots, mixed with white dazzling lightning, and the thunder was like a speeding train, running to and fro without stopping for a moment.
At this time, a special forces soldier closest to him walked over: "Report to the captain!" The storm is coming, and the team members are ready to take precautions, please instruct if there are any orders! ”
The wind was so strong that the special soldier's words were blown intermittently, and he almost couldn't hear them all.
The waves were blown wildly by the hurricane and lifted a wall of white waves several feet high into the air, and then after a few seconds of pause, they swooped down fiercely, and the deck was already drenched with the sea water that had rushed up.
If a large 10,000-ton cargo ship has no initiative of its own in the face of the monstrous waves, it can only rise and fall with the ups and downs of the waves, sometimes rushing into the air with the waves, and sometimes falling into the trough. It is basically impossible to gain a foothold on the deck, and if you don't hold on tightly to the thick protective railings on both sides of the ship, you may be thrown into the ocean. At this time, if you fall into it, you can't even save it, there is almost no chance of survival, will the water be the same fate at this moment, then there is only death.
Some of the things on the freighter that were not fixed were thrown into the sea, and the tables and chairs in the kitchen were also knocked to the left for a while, and then to the right, making a constant collision sound, and the pots and pans in the cupboard made a crisp crashing and breaking sound.
Anyway, all the items on the entire freighter that were not artificially reinforced, whatever you are, were all messed up by the rocking and jolting of the ship.
"Let all the team members pay attention to safety, withdraw to the cabin for the time being, don't let the weapons get into the water, and quickly pass on the word............!" Yang Jun turned his head and ordered the team member loudly.
The special soldier agreed, and after staggering to the protective railing, he picked up the walkie-talkie on his shoulder and called, conveying the orders one by one.
Fortunately, there are modern communication tools, otherwise I don't know when I will be notified.
A dazzling white light flashed, and suddenly hit the superstructure part of the freighter, that is, the layer below the main mast, a radar used for communication and navigation was immediately hit by a strong current, "whoosh" sparks, and then burned, the white smoke just rose and was blown away by the strong wind without a trace, only a short puff of white smoke remained, bending and twisting with the direction of the wind. Only the constant flickering sparks flickered a few times from time to time, apparently caused by a short circuit in the circuit.
Seeing this, Yang Jun was shocked, of course Yang Jun knew that it was the sector radar used for satellite communication and navigation that was hit, if the radar was damaged, then the entire giant ship would become a blind man without eyes, and it would be very dangerous to run around on the sea, and the end would be the same as Xu Dong and them, I don't know where it would drift to.
Through the porthole of the cockpit, you can see that the people inside are constantly walking back and forth, apparently carrying out a communication system that has just been struck by lightning, and there is a problem with radar navigation, and they should be the first to know.
"Yang Zi...... Are you alright? With such a strong wind, what are you standing outside looking at............? Dong Jianlin's puzzled voice came from behind him.
Yang Jun raised his hand and pointed to the radar that was still sparking, turned to Dong Jianlin and said loudly: "The lightning hit the radar just now, now let's hurry to the cockpit and take a look.........!" ”
Dong Jianlin and the two people who followed him walked over step by step, reached out and grabbed the protective railing, turned their heads to look up, nodded to Yang Jun, and didn't say anything.
At that moment, Yang Jun took Dong Jianlin and others straight to the cabin.
The cockpit on the third floor is of course quickly accessible from the gangway next to the deck building, but now you can't do that at all, as the wind can blow you off the ladder or even throw you straight into the sea.
The special forces on the outer deck and on the watchtower had retreated into the cabin to escape the strong winds, and in this weather, there was no need to still be guarding outside, and no human or monster could sneak attack and attack in this weather.
There was a busy scene in the cockpit of the freighter, and the captain Cheng Yuan was holding the rudder firmly with both hands at this time, as if he was afraid that it would run away, staring at the sea in front of him with all his attention, resisting the wind and waves, as if he was a Tai Chi master, and he couldn't be sloppy at all, because he was the captain of the ship, and he had a great responsibility for the lives of the entire ship.
The radar observer and the personnel on the navigation map on the side suddenly reported that the screen of the navigation map flickered, indicating that the system may have malfunctioned, which was of course related to the lightning just now.
"What should I do, once there is a problem with the navigation system, the consequences will be unimaginable............?" Cheng Yuan's face changed greatly, and he said worriedly.
"What about the communication system now?" He asked the person in charge of communications on the side.
The communication officer turned his head and shook his head, and said to him helplessly: "Captain, the communication line is also faulty, and there is no signal for the time being.........
Cheng Yuan was so angry that he said a dirty word loudly: "He's a, what do you say about it now, there is no navigation and no communication, isn't that the same as a blind man............?" There is no spare circuit board on the ship, so quickly find someone to replace it with ........."
Cheng Yuan called the first mate, handed over the rudder to him, and told him again and again before leaving the bridge and hurriedly rushed to the radar and navigation console to see the situation.
"Captain, there are no spare boards on the ship, and if they are repaired, I don't know how long it will take to ............recover," Xiao Zhang, who was in charge of the repair, said to him with an anxious face.
Cheng Yuan was so angry that he scolded again: "Then don't fucking don't repair it, what are you waiting for, hurry up and ............"
The navigator was already dark at the moment, and it could only reflect the figure of the captain Cheng Yuan and the busy staff who were constantly pacing back and forth in front.
White snowflakes appeared on the radar detection screen, and the dense snowflakes made people's eyes unclear when they saw it, which could increase people's sense of irritability.
I was shocked, and secretly thought, it won't be so unlucky, a lightning bolt can break the equipment, is this his mother's providence?
As the captain of a ship, he certainly knew what the consequences would be if there was a problem with the navigation and radar communication systems. Fortunately, we are now in the middle of the ocean, and we don't have to worry about crashing into the ghostly reefs at the bottom of the sea, which can be bad luck for the ship.
Without navigation, you can use the human eye to distinguish things, and use the brain to judge whether it is right or not, but what about the direction, what about the direction?
"Hurry up and tell the pilot to come up and let them see what's going on......... Must be fixed within two hours! Captain Cheng Yuan said a little angrily.
Soon, in less than ten minutes, two pilots rushed to the cockpit one after another.
They first checked the condition of the navigator and radar system, and then went to the ship's engine room to check the route, which took about an hour, of course, when the wind and waves were calm, their work efficiency will be improved a lot, and they don't have to worry about being swayed by the swaying hull and losing their center of gravity, and even touching the tools in their hands to the floor.
During this time, the wind and waves outside were still blowing, and there was no pause.
Cheng Yuan hurriedly walked to the navigation radar controller for a while, paced back and forth for a while, and walked to the bridge for a while to direct the first mate who was concentrating on driving the ship. Finally, to stabilize his body, he leaned against a corner of the bridge, at least without worrying about being shaken over by the rocking hull.
After the inspection of the two pilots, the worst and least desirable outcome for him was that all the main boards used for navigation and communication on the ship had been broken down by a strong current, and there were no spare parts on hand to replace them.
At this moment, the first mate is responsible for driving the ship, Xiao Guo, who has driven a 5,000-ton freighter, and has created an excellent result of continuous navigation for 60 hours without accidents on the navigation line, because the ability to drive the ship and deal with general emergencies at sea is not much lower than that of the captain Lao Cheng, and the reason why Cheng Yuan let him follow is of course in it.
"He's a leg, you think this can be done............ When Cheng Yuan was at a loss, Yang Jun and Dong Jianlin walked in one after another.
"How's it going, Lao Cheng? Has there been any impact on the communication system? When Yang Jun saw his first sentence, he asked these questions straight to the point, because these are the main questions in the middle of the matter.
Captain Cheng Yuan saw Yang Jun, so he pointed to the radar and navigation system with a bitter face and said to him: "Captain Yang, take a look for yourself............
Facing the still flickering navigation map and a disturbing radar display screen with snowflakes, Yang Jun couldn't help but be shocked, although he had already felt a little bad, but when the two navigation and radar systems were all replaced, it still cast a shadow on his mind.
"Lao Cheng, is there no way to fix it? At the very least, we need to ensure that the communication system can work normally, and in the event of an emergency, we can send a rescue signal to the nearest ship to call for help...............," Yang Jun asked.
When he listened to the report of the two pilots who were still testing, his disappointment was overflowing, and he only whispered: "Could it be that God is playing tricks on us people............
The entire ship, including Xu Jiandong, Jones, Paul, and Nick, had already been awakened by the violent shaking of the hull, and they could still sleep peacefully.
Xu Jiandong was just about to sit up, but his head was dizzy, so he had to lean on the bulkhead to temporarily relieve the effect of alcohol, he sat on the bed for about five minutes, before reaching out to open the curtain on the porthole, looking out through the glass, and then said to Xinyu: "Wake you up, dear......... Why is it raining so hard outside, is it ............ we encountered a storm at sea? ”
Xinyu opened his eyes, stretched his waist lazily, and leaned his head on Xu Jiandong's chest, obediently like a kitten, motionless to feel the love from Xu Dong.
Xu Jiandong gently patted her back with his hand at the right time, and Xinyu closed his eyes and enjoyed his lover's caresse.
The wind outside has subsided a lot, and the shaking of the hull is not so violent, at least people don't have to always care for the things next to them to stabilize when they walk, although the wind has decreased, but the rain is increasing on the contrary.
The rain was so heavy that it seemed to be pouring down from a height of tens of thousands of meters, and it was so heavy that the thick raindrops hit everything below like machine-gun fire, forming a mist on the deck that was removed from the cage.
From time to time, lightning burst into a dazzling light, and long tails flew in the air, accompanied by thunder that swept away the rolling clouds and darkness.
Xinyu sat up, smiled at Xu Jiandong beside him, covered him with a blanket, and asked with concern: "Jiandong, you can sleep for a while, how do you feel now, do you want to get a glass of water to ............ you?" ”
Xu Jiandong looked at the pretty face of Xinyu in front of him, the long black hair that was naturally scattered and the unique girl's body fragrance on her body, he couldn't help but feel turbulent, took her back into his arms, kissed her deeply on the face, and said softly: "It's okay, it should be almost time to rest for a while, but I feel a little pain in my head......... He paused and continued, "Beauty, bring me a glass of water.........
"Wait a minute, I have painkillers here, take one and it will be fine soon........." Xinyu finished saying and went down to the ground to pick up the medicine.
