"Yes, we received the order from the Red Skull. We must not let the Dragon Team bring 004 back to China, so we can only use this method of dying together."
Ryan nodded slowly and said.
"No! We still have a lifeboat. Even if the ship hits the rocks and sinks... we can still call for help through the radio to all the nearby ships. Yes, it must be possible. Let them rush to this sea area to save us!"
Robert kept his head and spoke almost incoherently.
The first mate on the side shook his head and said: "Why didn't we think of this method? Robert, let me tell you, I quietly released the lifeboats of the cruise ship, and now I don't know where they are floating in. The entire ship Everyone will be finished and die in this vast sea."
Seeing this, Nie Cai finally couldn't bear it any longer, rushed forward with a lunge, and slapped the first mate to the ground with one palm.
"You bastards, do you know how many people are on the entire cruise ship? You killed so many lives for the people of the Red Skull. You are simply not human!"
Nie Cai was extremely angry and shouted loudly.
He finally knew why something happened to this ship. A good ship would not have hit the reef at all. Just because he wanted to kill the people of the Dragon Team and not let the people of the Dragon Team transport 004 back to China, he The lives of four to five thousand passengers and staff were sacrificed.
This method was so cruel that it made Nie Cai extremely angry!
"You're right, we are such bastards... But if we don't do this, our families will die."
The first mate said with a wry smile as a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
People are selfish animals, so what if they sacrifice the lives of the entire ship for the lives of their own families
"Damn... Mr. Robert, what should we do now?"
Nie Cai took a deep breath, glanced at Robert, and asked.
Captain Ryan and the first mate were both bribed by the Red Skull's people, but Robert was the only one who had some sense of justice and could be trusted.
Nie Cai didn't know anything about engine driving and other postures, so he could only ask Robert.
"I took a look just now. The bow of the ship was hit by a reef. It is estimated that the several sealed cabins in the front have been damaged. The sealed cabins in the bow must be sealed immediately, and at the same time, the sealed cabins in the stern are filled with water as quickly as possible to keep it safe. The balance of the hull.”
Robert said in a deep voice: "In this way, although the entire hull will sink most of the water, at least it will not fall headfirst into the water. With the quality of the hull of the Ocean Neutron, it can at least last for twenty-four hours." In about an hour, we can wait for rescue from nearby ships.”
Now that the lifeboats on the ship have been released by Captain Ryan and the first mate, there is no other way to escape, so the only way left is to wait for rescue by other ships.
This principle is easy to understand. Several sealed cabins on the bow of the ship were broken by the reef, and seawater surged into the sealed cabins on the bow.
The sealed cabin was filled with water, so it naturally became very heavy. It was like a seesaw, pressing on the bow of the ship and causing the stern to tilt up.
As a result, the huge hull of the entire cruise ship is like an onion upside down. The bow plunges into the sea and the stern is raised high. In this state, sea water can easily pour in, recreating the "Titanic" of the year. tragedy.
To deal with this situation, the best way is to immediately use the method of filling the stern cabin with water, open the sealed cabin at the stern, and fill the back with water crazily to keep the bow and stern balanced, so that the sealed cabin can maintain basic water isolation. ability.
In this way, although most of the hull will be submerged in the water, at least part of the hull will still be on the water. People on the cruise ship can wait for rescue in this part of the hull. This state can last at least two days. In about fourteen hours, you can wait for nearby ships to arrive for rescue.
On this point, the Musashi of the Japanese Combined Fleet did very well. After being hit, the Musashi frantically filled the water balance. The entire ship's 7,000-ton displacement filled 3,000-5,000 tons of water, and the ship did not let up at all. tilt.
However, although their boat did not capsize, there was really no one nearby to rescue them, so they could only sink in despair.
"You want to pressurize the water to maintain balance? It's useless... I have cut off the power to the controller of the water inlet valve."
Ryan already has decades of sailing experience, and of course he is very clear about this method of handling it, he said after hearing this.
"There is also a backup controller power supply, driven by a twelve-volt battery!"
Robert was stunned and said immediately.
The safety facilities on the ship are designed with double backup. Even if one of them is damaged, the backup equipment can be used.
"It's useless. I've thrown the battery into the sea. Where can you find a twelve-volt battery in such a vast sea?"
Captain Ryan shook his head and said.
"There is only one twelve-volt battery on the ship, and you lost all of it?"
Robert didn't know what to say anymore, his face was full of despair.
"You bastards, you're not even prepared to leave a way to survive, are you?"
Nie Cai's eyes turned red and he yelled.
The last self-rescue batteries were thrown into the sea, which meant that they were desperate this time and had no intention of surviving.
It would be no pity for these two bastards, the captain and the first mate, to die, but what about the four to five thousand passengers and staff on board? In order to silence 004 and Nie Cai, they had to sacrifice their own lives. This is really innocent...
"What to do now? It will take at least ten hours before the warships and helicopters from the Gulf of Aden arrive. They need to send twelve-volt batteries. Before then, I'm afraid we will all sink to the bottom of the sea..."
Wu Chao frowned tightly and said.
Because they were worried that other countries would have objections, China did not send any aircraft carriers, but only a few destroyers with ordinary carrier-based helicopters on board.
The speed of helicopters is naturally incomparable to that of fighter jets. Otherwise, they can airdrop a battery to activate the controller of the scrap cruise ship and open the water inlet valve in the rear cabin to keep the hull balanced.
"There is no way. The water inlet valve on the ship is too heavy. It weighs dozens of tons. Even the rebirth of Hercules cannot break it, unless a twelve-volt battery can be found... But as far as I know, a twelve-volt battery It’s just one piece on the boat, and now that they’ve lost it, I’m afraid I can only sit back and wait for death!”
Robert shook his head, his face turned pale, and he said helplessly as he looked at the warning signs that kept popping up in the cockpit.
Twelve-volt batteries are not uncommon on land. They are sold in any auto repair shop and are almost standard equipment on cars.
The problem is that now in the vast sea, who would carry such a thing? If we really find this battery, I am afraid that the Royal Neutron cruise ship will have sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the day lilies will be completely cold by then!
