Chapter 141 Sea Distress
The boat gradually left the estuary area and slowly entered the offshore area, staring at the sonar detection screen for a long time, Bai Ning also looked very bored, turned around and prepared to walk on the deck, but when he turned around, he found that Liu Cheng had already killed a lot of compressed biscuits and plastic roast chicken.
For this thin man with a big stomach who only knows how to eat, Bai Ning didn't bother to care, and went straight to the deck to breathe.
The sea at night is quiet and windless, and the night view is spread across the sea, making it impossible to distinguish the difference between the night sky and the sea, and the distant coastline lights are swaying, waving goodbye to this lonely sea ship that is gradually moving away.
It's hard to imagine why the wyvern, who had been injured, would hide himself in a shallow reed on that stormy night.
Beside him is the endless sea, and there is a tunnel to the hidden dwelling at the bottom of the sea, even if it is injured and hibernated, it should be the place to go to the lair.
Bai Ning has been thinking about this contradiction, and it is not until now that he sees this seemingly infinitely lonely sea, that he has a little eyebrows.
Perhaps, it's not that the wyvern doesn't want to go back, but it can't.
Or, when it came to the edge of its nest and found that it had been followed, it simply died in a shallow, low reed.
Would you rather die alone than expose something more?
So, what kind of secrets are now contained in the underground cavity of the seabed?
The rapid iteration of thoughts, Bai Ning's mind was chaotic, and suddenly a breeze rolled up, carrying the coldness of the sea water around his neck, and the bone-eroding coldness recalled Bai Ning from his contemplative state.
Just as he was wondering, the hull of the ship suddenly shook, as if it had hit some reef.
Bohai Bay is an inland sea, and various reefs are very obvious on the chart, not to mention that they are still conducting sonar detection, so it is impossible to accidentally touch the reef.
"Something suddenly came through the bottom of the boat."
The person in charge of the sonar gave a loud warning, and Bai Ning hurriedly looked at the sea, and it seemed that there was indeed a black shadow passing quickly under the sea surface.
Whales have been spotted in Bohai Bay, but this is an offshore area, and fish are scarce, so it is unlikely that any whales will come here on purpose.
Don't......
A possibility suddenly floated through his heart, but it was quickly denied by Bai Ning.
How can it be?!
With such a huge Bohai Bay, that dragon would be stupid enough to run and hit the bottom of their boat to play?
"Does the sonar have the approximate size of an object that has just moved?"
Returning to the room where the equipment was stored, Bai Ning asked this question on the spot, and the personnel in charge of the instrument had obviously predicted such an operation, and were already urgently reconstructing the sonar image just now.
At this time, Liu Cheng also came over, and his little head looked east and west, and he didn't know if he could understand all kinds of image materials on the screen.
"Generating, just a few minutes."
The silent wait was the hardest, and the final sonar images showed that the creature that was rapidly approaching the bottom of their ship appeared to be a spindle-shaped creature.
Pointed at both ends and fat in the middle, it really seems like it's just a lost whale.
"It seems, it's a whale."
The summoned captain also rushed over, looking at the sonar image on the screen, and he also gave his own experience about it.
"Whales?
Is it unusual for whales to hit boats? ”
Liu Cheng, who was watching the fog on the side, saw that he could finally interject, so he expressed some nonsense that didn't hurt or itch.
To be honest, he has eaten a little well in the past few days, and the vitality of his body has been gradually stimulated, and Liu Cheng feels that his thinking seems to have become more active.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Liu Cheng also looked a little embarrassed, and he wanted to eat again after being embarrassed, and slowly left the crowd.
For Bai Ning at this time, it is indeed dispensable for a whale to hit a boat, but it is a little suspicious to hit their boat at this moment.
"Something hit me again!"
While Bai Ning was thinking, the person in charge of sonar warned again.
This time the impact was even stronger than the previous one, and the whole ship began to shake violently.
There is no doubt that the whale strike was a long-planned attack, not some reverie-inducing coincidence.
The question stretches again, why was their boat, which had just gone to sea, attacked by whales?
Why would a whale that rarely appears in the Bohai Bay attack their boat?
The attack was too weird, and the only enemy Bai Ning could think of was a Daredevil Society.
However, a member of the Daredevil who can manipulate whales is a bit strange to think about.
Besides, he Bai Ning had just come here, how could the personnel of the Night Demon Society come in such a timely manner?
He can even summon whales to target him Bai Ning.
The captain returned to the wheelhouse in the midst of the bumpy sea, but the news was not very good, the propeller had failed in the impact just now, which also meant that the hull had lost power.
Calling a tugboat service will not immediately solve the current crisis, and no one knows if the crazy whale on the bottom of the sea will knock the boat into a leak.
Whether it is useful or not, the basic rescue process has to be repeated, and even if the situation is critical, they have to call the coast guard for rescue, and if they are lucky, they can also get a sea rescue helicopter to come over.
All the crew on board were very knowledgeable and had their life jackets on board, and they were all gathered in the cabin a stone's throw from the deck.
Everyone was waiting for a third impact, but the whale seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and there was no movement in the sea.
Bai Ning pulled the sonar controller back to the control room and operated on the sonar for a while, but did not find any whales in the detection range again.
Everything shows that their crisis is over, and they just need to wait quietly for the tugboat to come to the rescue.
More good news came again, the captain sent someone to check the engine, and it turned out that the engine had only stalled due to the impact, and after restarting, the boat gained power again.
The damage to the hull of the ship from the whale impact just now must not be small, maybe the part of the bottom of the ship has cracked and needs to be returned to the factory for overhaul before it can go back to sea again.
After the power was restored, even if Bai Ning didn't give any orders, the captain still turned the rudder and returned to the sea as soon as possible.
The ship was about to return as soon as it went to sea, and Liu Cheng, who had no opinion on this, could only eat hard to relieve the pressure.
Although he has no right to speak, and is so humble that he can only pass the time by eating, it seems quite interesting to sit quietly on the sidelines and watch a good show and observe what the cold-faced profiteers will do after that.
After only a few bites, he found that Bai Ning walked away quickly, looking at the path, it should be going to the cab.
The ship soon stopped returning home, and even though the captain protested, it was forced down by Bai Ning.
In the end, the captain had no choice but to send someone to overhaul the bottom of the ship and check the damage to the outside of the hull.
The main reason why Bai Ning prevented the ship from returning was because he sensed the real reason for the whale raid.
It was most likely intended to create an opportunity for members of the Daredevil to infiltrate.
Combined with the efficient actions of the Daredevil personnel last time, when Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue flew to Chita City, they had already met the members of the Daredevil Society who came to inquire about the situation on the plane.
In the process that followed, members of the Daredevil Society also got in halfway.
It can be seen that it will take a long time to achieve hypnosis at the level of cognitive bias.
Now Bai Ning's actions are too fast, and they are all randomly selected acquaintances, and they don't give enough time to the Daredevil Society's personnel before they use the whale to cause a breakdown, so that Bai Ning's team has a short period of recuperation.
In this way, the members of the Daredevil Society who re-integrated into Bai Ning's team could not only follow Bai Ning on subsequent expeditions, but could even use the necessary hypnosis to obtain the benefits of the previous expedition from Bai Ning.
Now, the entire ship is an isolated island, and the best way to prevent the Daredevil members from infiltrating.
It is impossible to go back, and even for the follow-up replenishment of materials, Bai Ning also decided to use a helicopter to complete the lifting, at least in the form of a small boat to secretly transport.
As a result, the ship has no chance to dock, and the Daredevil personnel have completely lost the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.
The inspection of the ship has ended, although the depression in the bottom of the ship is very large, but there are no cracks, and the captain can only continue to stay at sea at the request of Bai Ning, for the sake of heavy compensation.
Everything continued to proceed in an orderly manner, and there was no preparation for further docking.
In order to prevent the subsequent impact of the whale, Bai Ning also asked the technician to play the whale's annoying ultrasound through the backup sonar equipment, so as to achieve the effect of dispersing the whale.
However, what Bai Ning didn't expect was that the third impact still came as scheduled!
The third impact was even more frenzied, cracks had already appeared in the bottom of the ship, and a large amount of water poured in, if it were not for the fact that the hull had segmented compartments, and by quickly closing the relevant valves, the hull had temporarily avoided the fate of sinking.
The tired and sweaty captain looked at Bai Ning with an extremely complicated look, if it weren't for the fact that the follow-up compensation had not been paid, he would be hate to scold Bai Ning now.
Because of the third violent impact, the engine stalled and crashed again, and the engineer is now busy with his feet on the ground, and it remains to be said whether it can be repaired.
The captain's stinky face was long, and Bai Ning's silent attitude made it only a few inevitable background noises to disturb people's minds in the field.
Liu Cheng, who felt like a waste, watched the development of the situation in the field while eating roast chicken.
As if there was a feeling in the dark, Liu Cheng felt that his days of mixing rice and eating seemed to be coming to an end.
The current situation is that you can eat as much as you can, and as long as you can't die, you will die!
After several hours of busyness, the chief engineer and his men came up covered in oil, and although the engine was not completely repaired, it was able to run normally, and it was not a problem to hold on to the shore.
has received Bai Ning's compensation promise, and the captain at this time is not in the mood to care about anything else, so he directly drives the boat back to the port.
