145 The Storm Comes
People who have never been to the deep sea will never have an intuitive understanding of the wind and waves on the sea.
Most people can't imagine what a huge wave that is ten-story high is like.
As of 2015, the largest wind and waves in the Atlantic Ocean were more than 30 meters high.
The huge waves of more than 30 meters are as high as ten floors. Compared with the Qiantang River tide, which is famous both at home and abroad, it is a younger brother.
Human beings are very weak in the face of the great power of nature.
What kind of big ship is, even if it is a Ford-class aircraft carrier, it can only take a detour when it encounters a huge wave that is thirty meters high.
Of course, such big storms are rare on the sea.
The dark clouds in the sky are getting more and more accumulated.
Qin Bin in the cab also found something wrong. He contacted Li Xuan anxiously and said, "Brother Xuan, it's not good, we may have encountered storms."
Li Xuan nodded, not blaming Qin Bin for not discovering it in advance.
The weather on the sea is unpredictable, often with clear sky one minute before, and heavy rain pours down the next.
Even the meteorological observatory has such professional equipment, I dare not say that I accurately predict the weather at sea every time.
It is meaningless and unreasonable to blame Qin Bin for not finding out in advance that the weather is about to change.
"Brother Xuan, what should we do now?" Qin Bin asked anxiously.
Li Xuan knew that he could not panic at this time.
In fact, Li Xuan really didn't panic either.
His steel fishing boat is twenty meters long and more than five meters wide. However, the sea area he is located is not very far from the shore. Even if he encounters wind and waves, it is likely to be very safe.
"Attention to the meteorological observatory at any time, and the fishing boats start to return and dock towards the nearest shore." Li Xuan ordered.
Qin Bin nodded and walked towards the cab with concern.
No wonder Qin Bin is worried.
Qin Bin is one of the few people on the boat who knows that the wind and waves in the deep sea are different from the wind and waves in the shallow sea, and he is also the only two who have actually encountered wind and waves.
It is very terrifying to encounter wind and waves in the deep sea.
The whole world seemed to be angry, roaring, and the backwaters of the sea were like the sky collapsed and the earth broke.
This terrifying natural power is simply not something that humans can resist.
From ancient times to the present, countless crew members have fallen into this storm.
The fishing boat turned around and headed towards the coast at full speed.
Li Xuan stood at the bow of the boat for a while and felt the sea breeze getting stronger and stronger. Slowly, the whimpering sound of the sea breeze even appeared in his ears.
This sound is very harsh, as if someone is crying loudly.
With dark clouds pressing down on the top, the surrounding environment becomes more and more depressing.
Soon, Li Xuan ordered: "You can't stay on the deck anymore. Everyone retreated to the cabin. Without my order, everyone was not allowed to leave the cabin."
Qin Bin and others nodded quickly, and they also realized something was wrong.
The storm this time seemed much bigger and terrifying than the storm they had to experience in the past.
After Li Xuan and all the crew members hid in the cabin, they also strode towards the cab.
"Brother Xuan, are you here?" Qin Bin said hello quickly when he saw Li Xuan.
Li Xuan nodded and asked, "Is there any news at the meteorological observatory?"
Qin Bin nodded.
Although there are not many people on the sea, there are many fishing boats in every area of our country. Once a sudden storm occurs, it may be a disaster for these fishermen.
In addition, every typhoon is basically born from the sea, so the weather at sea is generally the focus of meteorological stations, and a large amount of manpower and material resources are tilted on the sea.
As soon as the air pressure in a sea area increases, it will be monitored by the weather station immediately, and then monitor it tightly, while evacuating the fishing boats in this sea area, while preparing for wind protection.
"What does the Meteorological Observatory say?" Li Xuan asked.
"I only talked about the increase in the air pressure in this sea area. Thurstorms may come in a short period of time. Passing ships need to pay attention." Qin Bin said.
Li Xuan nodded, turned the sound of the meteorological station up, and then found a chair next to Qin Bin to sit down.
"Ah Bin, based on your experience, how big the storm may be this time?" Li Xuan asked Qin Bin.
Qin Bin was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Xuan, who can tell the weather on the sea is accurate? Don't look at the sea breeze now, and the dark clouds are pressing on the top of your head. Maybe it's a loud thunder or raindrops.
Xiao, the sky will start to clear up after a while, and maybe it may even rain heavily in a while."
Li Xuan could see that Qin Bin was more inclined to the point where it might rain heavily on the sea surface in a while, because his uneasiness was written on his face.
After thinking about it, Li Xuan asked in a deep voice: "How long does it take to get from us to the nearest pier?"
As soon as the sea changes, Qin Bin actually checked the coordinates.
As soon as Li Xuan asked, Qin Bin hurriedly said: "Brother Xuan, the nearest pier to us is a small pier built by the next fishing village in Ambergris Town. It takes about seven hours for our boat to drive over."
Li Xuan frowned. Like Longmen Town, both belong to Longhua County, but one is close to Xingcheng, and the other is almost out of the Xingcheng area, at the junction of Xingcheng and the neighboring city.
It sounded very quickly after seven hours. After sleeping, the fishing boat landed.
But in fact, the wind and waves on the sea come faster.
It was obviously too late to drive the fishing boat to Ambergris Town.
"You check the coordinates and see if there are any larger islands nearby. If so, we will find an island to dock." Li Xuan said.
Qin Bin hurriedly went to see the navigation chart and coordinates. Soon, Qin Bin raised his head and said, "There is such an island. Brother Xuan, there is a coral island just south of us. Although the island is not big, the plants on the island
There are many, many caves, and we can go up to avoid the wind. If we move forward at full speed, we can reach it in about two hours."
Li Xuan did not drag on the slumber, and he made a quick decision without hesitation: "I just turned the rudder and headed towards that island. Hurry up, we must arrive at that island before the wind and waves come."
Qin Bin nodded, quickly turned the rudder of the ship, aiming his head in the south direction to start sailing.
Li Xuan looked up at the sky and prayed secretly in his heart that the storm must not come too fast, and he must wait until the fishing boat arrives at the island before coming.
Unfortunately, the goddess of luck did not seem to be on Li Xuan's side this time.
As soon as Li Xuan finished praying, the sky outside the cabin suddenly lit up. It was a particularly thick lightning that struck the dark clouds and the entire sky.
