There is no need to report late, Zhang Qian has also learned the news of the 'Qi Yi' hitting the reef from his subordinates.

The captain of the 'Qi Yi' was organizing manpower to carry out the rescue, and he had no time to separate, so he had to send a crew member to board the flagship to report the details to Zhang Qian.

At this time, the deputy captains Lieban Sauma and Wu Bingjian, who were scattered on several other ships, also came to the flagship in a small boat, so as to inquire about the situation nearby and listen to Zhang Qian's orders by the way.

After listening to the insider's introduction, Zhang Qian's gloomy face was finally a little soothed, it was a reef that he hit, not the captain of the 'Qi Yi' who was blind and derelict in his duties, this is good, accidental negligence is much better than work mistakes.

But that being said...

"As the leader of the fleet, you 'Qi Yi' are equivalent to the vanguard of the army, building bridges in rivers, opening roads in mountains, and eliminating all threats and obstacles along the way, but you are better and have put yourself in it, do you want to use your own sacrifice to warn us that there are reefs there?

Chi Jin, the deputy captain in charge of the military, caught the mouthpiece of this innocent lying gun, and the latter who scolded him was sweating so much that he didn't dare to say a word.

"It's useless to scold him now, the most important thing is to determine whether the 'Qi Yi' can still be saved!" Zhang Qian said, then waved his hand, letting the microphone step aside first, and the latter hurriedly ran to a shadow with a weak sense of existence to wait.

"What the captain said is extremely true, but his subordinates believe that no matter whether the 'Qi Yi' can be saved or not, it is better to transfer the goods and unrelated personnel on it before it sinks, so that the time will be in a hurry and cause irreparable losses. Wu Bingjian, the deputy captain in charge of commercial affairs, took the opportunity to suggest.

Wu Bingjian's words are on everyone's minds, the loss of a ship is actually nothing, but the loss of a shipload and several or even dozens of lives is not a trivial matter.

"Captain Wu, Captain Rank, Captain Chi!" Zhang Qian did not hesitate, immediately adopted Wu Bingjian's suggestion, and instructed, "Please wait for someone to arrange for someone to transfer personnel and goods, and then count and make a book, so as to minimize the loss." ”

"No!" Chi Jin nodded and turned to leave.

"Ji Yan, you send some more shipwrights over and try your best to rescue the 'Qi Yi'. After the three left, Zhang Qian continued.

"Captain, my subordinates will go over and see for themselves. Pei Xiu replied.

"I'm tired!" Zhang Qian didn't pretend to stay, but simply said three words.

After Pei Xiu left, Zhang Qian was not idle, he ordered that in addition to the 'Qi Wu' and 'Qi Geng' to stay to receive the transferred goods and personnel, the remaining eight sailing ships immediately turned to the shore and landed to rest.

Whether it is to repair the 'Qi Yi' or transfer materials, it will not be completed in a short period of time, which means that the fleet does not want to leave today, just after the last time it rested in the shelter of Bowang Island, the fleet has never rested, taking advantage of this opportunity of God's 'reward', Zhang Qian decided to let the fleet take a break.

In the process of sailing to the shore, Zhang Qian learned to be obedient, no longer recklessly rushing forward, but spreading the dinghy widely, opening the way in front, it can be said that he was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of grass ropes for ten years.

Not to mention, fortunately, Zhang Qian acted cautiously, and two reefs in the direction of the fleet were discovered by the boat, avoiding the recurrence of the tragedy, which made Zhang Qian very happy.

At the same time, it also shows one thing, there are many reefs here, the navigation channel is not smooth, and you must be careful in the future.

In the end, the "Qi Yi" could not be saved, after struggling for two hours, it still sank to the bottom of the sea with a bang, becoming a submarine ruin, maybe a few years later, there will be so-called treasure hunters to find traces to salvage, and then get rich overnight.

Before the sinking of the 'Qi Yi', all the personnel on it were safely transferred, but because the time left for everyone was too short, only one-third of the goods could be transferred, and the remaining two-thirds were accompanied by the 'Qi Yi' in the painful eyes of everyone's hearts.

Before the last rays of the sun were shrouded in a black canopy, the cargo searchers who were cruising in the sinking place of the 'Qi Yi' had to cancel their operations for safety reasons, and returned to their temporary camp on the east coast with the last rays of light on the horizon.

The temporary camp on the east bank was built by hundreds of people who struggled all afternoon, and it has begun to take shape, after all, everyone will stay here for a few days, and Zhang Qian has the idea of dividing this place as a transit station, if the road proves to be smooth, he will rebuild it when he returns.

During these three days, Zhang Qian did not give up the salvage of the goods on the 'Qi B', and finally he snatched back a part of it, reducing the loss to one-third of the entire 'Qi B'.

On October 2, the sixth year of Huaxia, the fleet set sail to leave the accident site of the "Qi Yi", and under the opening of more than a dozen small boats, it moved forward step by step, although the speed of the fleet's advance was greatly reduced, but it was better to be safe, and no one would be unable to live with their own lives.

As the fleet deepened, the two major features of the strait were gradually discovered and summed up by the fleet.

There are many islands and many reefs.

In fact, these two can be counted as one category, and the island can be said to be a large reef that rises to the surface.

The deeper you go, the more noticeable this feature becomes.

This not only brought difficulties to the advance of the fleet, but also made the top management of the fleet have a bad premonition, this situation can very illustrate a problem, in the near past, the two sides of the strait must be connected, that front...

But this time God stood on the side of the fleet, their premonition did not come true, after a difficult move, the fleet finally sailed out of this twist and turn around the strait for more than 700 kilometers, it took nearly 12 days in total, the speed is about the same as the speed of human walking, if people do not need to rest like the ship, it is not even as good as the speed of walking, it can be described as turtle speed.

Passing through the large strait, which the fleet named the 'Thousand Islands Strait', as Zhang Qian and others imagined, the fleet entered a vast new sea area.

It's just that this sea area is not very friendly, compared to the other side of the Kuril Strait, this new sea area is high and rough, and the turbulence of ships has increased suddenly, which is easy to make people afraid.

Fortunately, the fleet did not need to cross the ocean, they only had to sail along the coastline inshore, and the danger factor was relatively reduced to a minimum, so that the crew did not immediately turn back.

But the top brass of the fleet did not do nothing, and after a brief meeting with the five captains of the fleet, an exciting piece of news soon spread among the crews of the fleet.
