"Damn it!"
Nie Cai grabbed the first mate's collar and threw him to the ground, causing his nose to bleed.
The captain and first mate deliberately blocked almost every escape route, just to prevent the dragon team from taking 004 back, thus sacrificing the lives of more than 4,000 passengers.
This approach is simply unconscionable, and you will do whatever it takes to achieve your goal!
Nie Cai wanted to slap the first officer to death, but at this time it was of no use. Even if Nie Cai beat him to death, there would be no way to save the matter.
Still unwilling to give up, he used a mind-reading technique to take a photo and discovered that the first mate was not lying.
What the first mate just said is right. The sealed cabin of a luxury cruise ship like this is too big, and its valves weigh more than ten tons.
Even though Nie Cai was now in the advanced stage of Anjin, there was no way he could open the sealed hatch with his bare hands and let water pour in from the stern of the ship to achieve the purpose of balancing the head and the stern.
"You are right, we deserve to die... In fact, we were planning to commit suicide just now. My family is in the hands of the Red Skull. I have no choice, but as a captain, I at least want to die on the ship."
Captain Lane smiled bitterly and looked at the revolver placed on the console.
They were forced to kill more than 4,000 people with their own hands, and they couldn't bear it on their conscience. Only suicide could alleviate their guilt a little.
If Nie Cai had come a little later, he would probably have seen only their corpses.
"The last hope is to send out a distress signal quickly and see if there are other ships nearby to rescue!"
Wu Chao seemed to remember something and said loudly.
"I have sent out a distress signal, but there is not a single ship nearby. It is estimated that by the time others receive the distress signal and come over, the ship will have sunk!"
Without Wu Chao's explanation, Robert had already stood in front of the cruise ship's console and sent out an emergency distress signal, but at this time his face looked a little uncomfortable.
If you're lucky, you'll happen to encounter a passing ship nearby, and you can ask them to help rescue people, but now your last hope is gone.
"There are no other civilian ships? Then help me call the satellite communication of the Chinese warships first!"
Wu Chao was a little anxious and quickly said to Robert: "This is China's communication frequency band. The Chinese military should have warships in the Gulf of Aden. Wouldn't it be nice to ask them to take a helicopter and send them some kind of marine battery?"
"Yes, we can ask the military for help! Let them send this marine valve-regulated battery!"
Robert's eyes lit up and he said.
Using normal methods, there is naturally no way to get the marine valve-regulated battery in the vast sea.
In this case, if you want to restart the water inlet valve of the sealed cabin, you can only rely on the military to urgently remove a marine valve-regulated battery and send it over.
"Okay, I'll call right away!"
Robert's face showed a look of hope again, he nodded, and immediately prepared to contact the Chinese military through satellite communication.
He was operating on the cruise ship's console, but suddenly, his expression froze.
"The satellite system... is not available..."
Robert's hands froze and he murmured.
He slowly turned around and looked at Captain Ryan and the first mate, with a questioning look on his face.
"That's right, I destroyed the satellite communication and satellite positioning systems. You can't contact anyone, and you can't determine your position. This ship has completely lost contact with the outside world. Even I don't know where it is now. Where is it?"
The first mate nodded and said.
This area is a famous reef area, so there cannot be any ships nearby. Moreover, this reef area stretches for hundreds of nautical miles. If the accurate longitude and latitude cannot be determined, it will be very difficult to search for this cruise ship.
Even if we can contact the military through other means and ask them to send this marine valve-regulated battery, the problem is that the helicopter cannot find the cruise ship, so how can we rescue it
"Oh my God, you really don't have any chance of survival..."
Robert's body went limp and he covered his face in pain.
The last glimmer of hope was cut off. There was no doubt about the professionalism of Captain Ryan and the first mate. Under their deliberate sabotage, there was no way for these people on the ship to survive.
"Three of the sealed compartments in the forward cabin have been filled, the ship's hull is gradually tilting, and the system has issued a serious alarm!"
Robert looked at the beeping alarm on the console and said in a panic.
Through the computer on the ship, he had clearly seen that the high water level indicators of the three sealed compartments in the forward cabin were all on.
Due to the collision on the rocks, all three sealed compartments had been damaged and flooded. Now they could clearly feel in the cab that the bow of the ship was tilting toward the water.
The entire Royal Neutron has a total of eighteen sealed cabins, which are located at the bottom of the cabin.
These sealed capsules play a role in providing buoyancy, but because the three sealed capsules in front were damaged by the impact, a chain reaction was triggered.
Water began to fill the first sealed compartment, causing the bow of the ship to tilt at a sinking angle, causing the second sealed compartment to also flood and lose its buoyancy, and then the third sealed compartment to flood...
At this rate, all six sealed compartments on the bow of the ship will be filled with water in less than an hour or two!
When the sealed cabin on the bow is filled with water, it will become top-heavy and the bow will sink until it reaches a certain angle. The huge Royal Neutron cruise ship can only fall into the water like an onion.
In that case, it would be a huge disaster for a cruise ship carrying more than 4,000 passengers.
At that time, the Titanic was broken into two parts due to the intrusion of water into the sealed cabin of the forward cabin, which caused the bow and stern of the ship to become unbalanced.
Although the steel technology of ships now is much better than before, and it is rarely broken, falling headlong into the water will inevitably greatly accelerate the speed of water intrusion on the ship. The whole ship will be filled with people within one to two hours. All have to be played.
"It's coming, it's coming. According to the original design, if all six sealed compartments on the bow of the ship are filled with water, not even God can save the ship."
The first mate's eyes were a little dazed and he murmured.
At this time, if we can open the sealed cabin in the rear cabin in time, fill it with water to balance it wildly, and then turn on the water pump in the sealed cabin in the front cabin to drain it wildly, it is still possible to maintain the balance and restore the water-tight cabin's water-proofing ability, and it can still last for more than ten hours. .
More than ten hours later, it was dawn, and nearby ships could arrive in time to rescue people, and the casualties could be greatly reduced.
But the problem is that now this critical marine valve-regulated battery has been dismantled by the captain and first mate and thrown into the sea. There is no way to open the sealed compartment in the rear cabin. The ship cannot last for more than an hour or two!
