Chapter 1,263 On the road to a dead end(1/2)
Sollot was speechless again, what are you doing?
We are all so miserable here that we are ready to jump into the sea. It would be better for you to go for a winter swim and even hang up a few fish. Do you still have the slightest consciousness to serve your customers? Customers are God. Here, you have to put yourself
Becoming God?
However, Da Mao cannot be blamed for this incident, it is mainly the fault of the Haiyan. If the Haiyan had not driven too fast and collided, they would be running on the road home now.
"Mr. Sollot, do you want to eat fish?" Zaitsev said: "The fish here is the most delicious, especially when eaten raw, it is much better than the sashimi in the island country."
After the big fish was caught, it flopped on the ice, but stopped moving after a few hits. After a few more minutes, it was frozen to a solid state.
It is no longer appropriate to describe the North Pole as dripping water turning into ice. There is a more popular saying: whatever you say will be frozen, and you have to put it in a pot and stir-fry it before you know what the other person said.
Sorlot looked at the frozen and hard sashimi, curious: "How can you eat this?"
"Of course I eat it with my mouth."
After saying that, someone brought out a fire axe. Zaitsev swung the ax and aimed it at the back of the big fish.
Boom, boom, boom!
In just three strokes, the big fish was split in half!
Sollot looked at the big fish curiously, what should he eat next?
Whoa! Zaitsev took out a multifunctional dagger, then put half of the big fish on his shoulder, like a washboard, and used both hands hard.
As the multifunctional dagger went down, a piece of fresh fish fillet was cut off, some of which looked like mutton rolls used for mutton shabu-shabu.
Swish, swish!
Pieces of meat were being cut off constantly, and soon a small mountain was piled up next to the big fish.
The sashimi in the island country is fresh and soft, but the sashimi here is hard. How to eat it?
Eat with your mouth of course!
Zaitsev had almost cut it, then picked up a piece from the ground and handed it to Sollot: "Here, eat!"
"Is there any seasoning for this?"
To eat sashimi in an island country, you need to have a beautiful environment, sit down next to the small table, watch the waiter carrying a pillow behind you bring the exquisite food, and then slowly taste it.
By the way, before eating, you must take a photo and post it on WeChat to show off that you have eaten Japanese food and show your sense of superiority.
So, when eating sashimi here in Damao, should there be dipping sauce? How to eat it without dipping sauce?
"Of course." Zaitsev handed over a bottle of vodka: "Here, cheers!"
Just drink this?
The same goes for other old people. They pick up a piece of sashimi, throw it into their mouths, chew it for a few mouthfuls, then raise their heads and take a sip of vodka. This way of eating is exclusive to old people!
Sollot hesitantly put a piece of sashimi into his mouth, chewed it twice, and found it had no texture. Then he took another sip of vodka. Suddenly, the hot liquid flowed into his stomach, almost preventing him from vomiting it out.
"I really can't eat this." Sollot decided to admit defeat.
"Can't eat it? Let's grill the remaining fish! But you must drink this vodka. It's very cold here. If you drink a few sips, it will warm you up."
Having said this, Sorlot really felt warmer. After all, he didn't feel cold after such a long time.
So, he took another sip, and his whole body suddenly felt warm.
The sun set quickly, and the cabin of the Fifty Years Victory was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Sollot forgot what he was doing here. He drank wine and ate grilled fish with the old guys. He didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep in the cabin.
This is probably the most carefree day he has had since he started on the road.
However, many people are still busy.
"Mr. Oryang, our insurance compensation has strict standards. We need on-site inspections and evidence collection from all aspects. Please rest assured that as long as the insurance terms are met, we will definitely compensate."
"Then when will you go to the scene?"
"Well, there are no planes that can get there now, and there are no ships, so we can only wait until spring next year, or wait for those ships to reach a safe zone. Please don't worry, we..."
Snapped!
Oryang slapped the table and stood up: "Bill, now is the most critical period for our seadrill company. We have always taken your insurance before, but in the future, we will definitely choose other companies to cooperate because you have disappointed us so much.
!”
"Mr. Oryang, I'm very sorry. We really tried our best."
What you mean by trying your best is to sit in a warm office and say a few words? It's too much! It's too much!
Oryang left the insurance company and went into the bank.
Obviously, Lao Maozi still wants a sum of money. If the insurance company cannot pay the compensation in time, their company, Seadrill, can only advance the payment. However, they have long been out of liquidity, and now they can only borrow money from the bank.
The bank manager received him warmly, as before, but when he mentioned borrowing money, the other party immediately became embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, your company is in poor operating condition, so we can no longer lend it to you unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless suitable collateral is found."
Mortgage? For this business, they have mortgaged the company to the bank. It is said that as long as the drilling platform is transported and the crude oil is extracted, it can be delivered to Equinox, so that they will have enough funds to pay off various loans.
but now……
"We have eight drilling platforms that are being transported, and we will mortgage these drilling platforms to you!" Oryang said.
"This... I'll ask."
Ten minutes later, the bank manager came back: "I will lend you another one million dollars at most, no more."
"good."
When Sorlot woke up from his drunkenness, he felt some pain in his head. He stood up unsteadily and glanced at the person next to him: "When is it?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It is eight o'clock in the morning, and the sun should appear in half an hour."
"Have you inspected the nuclear reactor?"
"The finishing work is being carried out, please don't worry, we will definitely be able to leave within three days."
in three days?
"Why does it take three more days?"
"After a nuclear reactor shuts down, restarting it requires a series of work and procedures. Please rest assured." Zaitsev said: "We will definitely set sail again within three days at most."
Three more days... This delay will be almost as long as taking the regular route! If I had known better, I would not have gone this way. In order to save time, what was the result?
Sollot already regretted it. He suddenly remembered what Qin Haiyang said before leaving.
Qin Haiyang sincerely suggested that he take the regular route. At that time... why didn't he listen? It would have been great if he had!
However, there is no regret medicine. They have to move forward. Even if they retreat now, there is no point.
"Mr. Sorlot, are you going to stay here or go back to your previous ship?"
Sorlot thought briefly: "Stay here."
He must supervise Lao Maozi, and he cannot allow Lao Maozi to be passive and slack in work anymore. Lao Maozi needs to work actively, and Lao Maozi needs to take the entire fleet out of this ghost place as soon as possible!
Sorlot looked at the dark sky outside the window and suddenly thought of something: "Is your ship also frozen? Can you find a way to start it?"
"Of course, we are an icebreaker, and we can break through the ice even if it freezes."
any solution?
Three days later, when the fleet set sail, Sorlot saw the white gas floating around the hull and was very surprised. It turned out that there was such a hand!
The nuclear-powered icebreaker has indeed frozen, but this does not mean that the nuclear-powered icebreaker cannot escape by relying on its own power. At this time, as the nuclear reactor starts and warms up, steam suddenly spurts out from the side of the hull, and in just a few seconds
Within minutes, the nearby ice melted!
so amazing!
Seeing this scene, Sorlot couldn't help but want to cheer. Playing icebreaker, Lao Maozi dares to say second place, no one dares to say first place!
However, he held back and kept calm. He must be calm! This was just an ordinary voyage. I hope nothing will happen again!
"Besides steam, do you have any other options?" Sollot asked calmly.
"Yes." Zaitsev nodded: "If the steam is not enough, then we will put explosives and blast the ice directly."
Lao Maozi always likes to solve problems in simple and direct ways!
Sorlot felt emotional for a while.
The Haiyan had a collision last time and its cargo had tilted. In order not to affect other ships, it was once again ranked last. With the help of icebreakers, other ships were freed from the constraints of the ice and began to move forward together.
The fleet set sail again.
"In order to avoid accidents, our speed has been reduced to ten knots." Sorlot said on the icebreaker.
Last time I was left behind and was frozen, and the collision was too close, it was all because the sailing speed was too fast. Now it has been reduced to ten knots, which is safer. Anyway, I have already lost time, and I don’t care if I delay more.
One day, two days, three days...
