Chapter 61 Bering Strait
After discovering that his brother was screaming so miserably, of course someone went to save him. The rescuer was fat and strong, with red eyes and holding a fish-chopping knife, so he bravely rushed forward. As a result, Rubes turned around and said:
The claws immediately made this nosy guy "share the same trouble", and he also rolled to the ground and screamed miserably.
Seeing that the three most ferocious people on the ship had been tidied up, the rest of the crew members immediately fell into silence and gave up any thoughts they shouldn't have. Fang Linyan looked around, pointed at a person and said:
"come here."
This guy was shocked and immediately gave in and said:
"Sir! I have no intention of going against you."
Fang Linyan smiled:
"Mr. Longley, as you can see, Mr. Mickey and Mr. Jones are no longer qualified to serve as captain and first mate, so you come to take over the position of captain. If anyone is unconvinced, just tell me."
After hearing this, Langli suddenly became happy. In fact, the relationship between him and Mickey had never been harmonious, and he had recruited a few confidants to fight against him. It had always been his long-cherished wish to replace Mickey as the captain.
.
Fang Linyan's words immediately made Lang Li feel like pie in the sky! He immediately said excitedly:
"Okay sir!" Fang Linyan continued:
"Then Captain Langley, I want to ask you to do one thing next, that is, except for those in necessary positions, you can call the rest of the people to the dining hall. I want to announce to them your latest news.
Appointment, and there are two more things to say.”
So soon, most of the sailors on the ship gathered in the dining hall, there were about thirty people in total.
They also heard some general things, such as the new guest on the ship was a ruthless person, the captain and the first mate were severely punished, and that Langli succeeded in taking over, etc.
Fang Linyan also knew that these sailors were uneducated and rude. The easiest way to make them obey was to use bloody knives and banknotes. Fortunately, he had both of these things.
After all the sailors arrived, Fang Linyan coughed lightly, then stroked the back hair of Rubeus next to him and said:
"The purpose of inviting gentlemen here this time is mainly to explain some of my actions on boarding the ship.
"I came to the Bering Strait this time to obtain accurate information and wanted to salvage a sunken ship belonging to the family. Your former captain, Mr. Mickey, accepted my employment and received a reward of almost two million U.S. dollars.
, but I still have to do something secretly, trying to get some second-hand goods to fill in the shopping list I gave."
"That's fine. The key is that after sailing, he told me that he didn't even purchase all the second-hand goods.
After hearing Fang Linyan's words, most of the people began to whisper to each other, of course, mainly focusing on the two million US dollars in reward.
People don't suffer from inequality of poverty. It's really outrageous to think that Mickey, the bastard, took so much money and didn't have any share of his own! As for Mickey's unreliable behavior of slaughtering fat sheep,
Ahem, they think it's normal.
Fang Linyan continued:
"So, I think Mr. Mickey is not suitable to stay in the captain's position, and I have every reason to do so, right? Listen to the applause!"
As expected, there was sparse applause here. When Fang Linyan saw it, it was the new captain he appointed, Lang Li, and a few of his men who were applauding. The other thirty or so sailors seemed to have nothing to do with them.
Fang Linyan had already known this. He then motioned to Xingyi next to him to take out a large box. Then, he poured all the contents of the box onto the table in front of him.
Immediately, a series of gasping sounds appeared in the dining hall, as if the things on the crotches of this large group of men were blown by the cold wind at the same time!
It was a table full of beautiful green knives, piled one after another randomly on the table. Each pile amounted to ten thousand knives, which were stacked directly into a small mountain.
Fang Linyan was the first to call out Lang Li's name: "Mr. Lang Li, please come forward."
Then Langli rubbed his hands excitedly, and there were ten green little treasures in his hands!
As Fang Linyan's names were called one by one, everyone present received several knives. Ordinary sailors started at least 50,000 yuan, which was equivalent to their annual salary. Of course, those with positions had more.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became lively, there were obviously more laughter and laughter, and there was more happiness in the air.
Fang Linyan pointed out two fingers and said:
"If my survey is successful this time, everyone will have a bonus when we return to shore, and the amount will be twice that of this time!"
Then a series of sincere cheers sounded again: "Ula!"
"OH,YES!"
"I love dollars, I love this customer!"
At the same time, if this group of crew members were digitized at this time, they would see the words "Morale +80", "Morale +66", and "Morale +88" popping up above their heads.
Under this situation, Fang Linyan took control of the ship naturally, which was much smoother than he expected. This was mainly thanks to Mickey, a fool, who jumped out automatically, and Fang Linyan got a perfect target to establish his power.
As for selecting Lang Li as the alternate captain, it was definitely not Fang Linyan’s whim. With his and Xing Yi’s personalities, how could they not conduct a basic investigation on everyone on the ship?
As for the things Mickey didn't purchase, it actually doesn't matter. This guy is just a spare tire from beginning to end. Xingyi has already carefully asked Ade what he needs for diving in such an extreme environment.
And I have already purchased it and brought it with me.
There is nothing to say about what happened next. Although the wind and waves in the Bering Strait were very strong, they were within the normal range, and the Spogen whaler also showed its due strength, without any surprises or dangers.
He sent Fang Linyan and his group to that coordinate point.
It is worth mentioning that this place is more than 200 nautical miles away from the real Bering Strait. In fact, it can only be regarded as the Bering Strait in a broad sense.
At this time, although the sky looked gloomy, there was no rain, and the wind and waves were stable at level 2 or 3. For the Bering Strait in this season, such weather can be considered sunny and windy.
Soon, the whaling ship's underwater radar drew the basic topographic map of the seabed. The water depth here is about 600 meters, but the geographical conditions of the seabed can be said to be quite complex. There are three trenches in the sea.
Although Langley had never served as a captain before, he was still an old sea dog who had been on the ship for almost twenty years. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs walking, right? He immediately issued a series of orders.
After getting the basic topographic map, we first released several underwater robots based on this map to obtain first-hand information about the seabed situation.
After all, the seabed is different from the ground. It is normal to have sediments one to two meters or even five meters deep. In this case, many real landforms are covered up.
With on-site detection by underwater robots, the nearby seafloor topographic map can be upgraded to the LV2 version.
After having this LV2 version of the seafloor topographic map, the next step is to continue to use underwater robots to arrange a large number of receivers in the seafloor rock formations.
Immediately afterwards, an explosion was created on the seabed, forming a shock wave that spread in all directions.
Depending on the geological distribution of the seafloor, the feedback when the shock wave passes through is different. For example, the speed of the shock wave passing through a seafloor cave is definitely very different from the speed of passing through a solid rock layer.
At this time, a large number of receivers previously placed on the seabed can play a corresponding role. After the data fed back is summarized by a computer, a more detailed and specific seafloor topographic map LV3 can be obtained.
On this topographic map, the locations of suspected shipwrecks can be marked one by one, and then targeted exploration can be carried out.
Of course, Fang Linyan and the others are definitely not here to find the sunken ship, but they still need this seabed land
Only with LV3 graphics can they implement their plan more easily. Therefore, all processes are proceeding step by step.
Only Ade, the black boy, couldn't hold his nerve anymore. Life on this ship was already boring, and there was no mobile phone signal, so he volunteered to join the battle several times.
As a result, only about three hours later, Lang Li found Fang Linyan. His expression looked extremely shocked and mixed with fear:
"Sir, something strange has happened. You'd better come and see for yourself."
After hearing this, Fang Linyan suddenly felt happy. What he was most afraid of now was that the weather would be calm and there would be no abnormality. Then he would be really stunned.
After going to sea this time, he deeply realized: the vastness of the sea and the power of heaven and earth are really beyond the power of human power. Once no clues are found in such a place, it is doomed to complete failure.
At this time, Xingyi also rushed over quickly, and the two of them came to the deck next to them. They could see a group of people gathered there, whispering.
After Fang Linyan walked over, Lang Li seemed to have seen a savior and said frantically:
"Mr. Duckmore, we have put down a total of ten underwater mapping robots, but now we have lost contact with two of them."
"After discovering this incident, I immediately asked the other underwater robots to come back. At this time, another underwater robot experienced an abnormality. Fortunately, the return command had been issued, so it was able to return in time, but I never
I have never encountered anything like this before, just see for yourself."
Fang Linyan nodded and looked at the underwater robots that were recovered on the deck. Three of them were intact, but one was obviously damaged. A hole the size of a wine glass appeared on its shell.
It felt like being stabbed hard by a speargun or something.
This is not the only wound on its body. There are also several criss-crossing wounds on the shell next to it. The metal in the cross-section of the wound shows a fresh color that has not yet been oxidized. The depth of the wound is at least four to five centimeters deep. This
This is already a very scary thing.
You know, because underwater robots have to withstand huge water pressure and protect the precision instruments inside, their shells are specially made, which can be said to be stronger than normal bulletproof armor.
Therefore, after seeing the wounds on its body, a clear chill emerged in people's hearts. There is no doubt that if humans were attacked like this, they would either die on the spot or be dismembered directly.
Obviously, a panic spread directly among the sailors, and there were even discordant whispers. There were different opinions about what the devil's curse was, and what the ghost ship's lair was.
It was probably because Fang Linyan and Xingyi were too focused on studying the scars of the underwater robot. Of course, there was also a possibility that they didn't speak on purpose, so this gave some sailors the illusion.
"No, it's too dangerous. We have to return! "You can also pay more."
"This is the cursed sea. If we don't leave, we will all be swallowed by the sea."
"I don't want to stay here even for a second."
These voices were low at first, but after discovering that the two big donors had remained silent, those who dared to speak started shouting louder, and those who could speak began to follow the trend and join the discussion.
Until Fang Linyan stood up, and then walked directly towards the guy who started yelling and is still yelling the loudest: former first officer Jones, a big guy. Although his wrists, chest, and neck are wrapped with thick gauze, he is still a big guy.
The voice is loud and full of energy.
However, when he looked at Fang Linyan walking over step by step, he still felt weak in his heart, and suddenly shouted loudly:
"Stop, you fucking stop! Kambas!!" As he shouted, a sailor suddenly let out a shrill scream. It turned out that he was Kambas.
This guy hid behind him and immediately pulled out his gun from his waist as soon as he heard Jones's cry. Unfortunately, he had no chance to aim and was thrown to the ground by Lubbers.
Because this guy actually dared to use a gun, so
Rubes didn't show any mercy, and with a little force of his mouth, the guy's right hand holding the gun was bitten off! He was so painful that he was struggling and rolling on the ground, screaming in agony.
Fang Linyan came to Jones and said calmly:
"Who else have you arranged? Let's call them out together." Jones looked at Kambas who was covered in blood on the deck. He was already panicking and said in a trembling voice:
"What do you want to do, don't come here!! Ah!!ii
It turned out that Fang Linyan grabbed Jones by the neck and arrested him.
Jones was originally a big man over two meters tall, a head taller than Fang Lin Yan, but he was grabbed from the opposite direction without any resistance. It felt as if he was carrying a Pekingese or a Teddy.
Chapter completed!
