Chapter 374 Vomiting West Wind Belt
In the central and southern part of the Indian Ocean, heading north from 30 degrees south latitude. The icebreaker Ping Tou Ge has been staying in this area for nearly two days.
It took them nearly a week to get from the windless belt of the equator to the southernmost tip of the southeast trade wind belt. But what puzzled them was that since the last exchange of fire, the two lines had been completely missing from the radar.
The shadow of the whaler. Even a few days ago, Shi Quan reported the news to Huo Heng that the two icebreakers had returned to port!
This made them more and more unable to understand each other's operations, and at the same time, Shi Quan secretly regretted it. If he had known that the other party was so stubborn, he should have listened to Big Ivan's recklessness and drove a helicopter over to have sex with them. But now it's better
, I kept my nerves tense all the way, but in the end I realized that I was taking off my clothes to show to a blind man.
After hanging up the phone from Huo Heng, before Shi Quan could say anything, Da Iwan threw the cleaned sheep and scorpions into the stainless steel basin, took out a paper towel and wiped his mouth clean and asked, "Are those two ships coming yet? Why don't you just invite me?"
Mr. Huo, please help me take them off."
"Do you think Mr. Huo is Andre?" Shi Quan put the satellite phone on the empty chair next to him. "Although he is a new member of the club, he will not help us easily, let alone do you think he will seize two boats?"
So simple?"
"What did the other party say?" Big Ivan took another piece of sheep scorpion from the pot and asked vaguely while chewing it.
"Those two whaling ships urgently purchased two helicopters in Singapore, and then went to the eastern waters of Australia." Shi Quan said with doubts in his tone, "Shouldn't they be delivering warmth to your door? Just give up like that?"
"They went whale hunting."
Captain Miao, who was at the same table, said with almost certainty, "Although this season is a little early, some unruly whalers have already started to take action. The waters of eastern Australia are the traditional hunting grounds of those whalers. Wait until later.
, it’s time for a whaling ship to appear on the sea where we are.”
Speaking of this, Captain Miao sighed, "It's time for the sea water to turn red again."
"So early?" Liu Xiaoye frowned, "When are they going to catch him?"
"Normally from September to February and March of the next year," Captain Miao sighed again, "but in fact, large whaling ships like theirs basically work all year round. In addition to whales, they also have seals and dolphins.
hunting target.”
"No wonder they paired it with two whalers and a cargo ship."
Shi Quan looked at the sheep and scorpion in his hand and thought for a moment, raised his head and said to Captain Miao who was sitting diagonally opposite, "In this case we won't wait. We originally wanted to take them to the West Wind Belt to resolve their grievances, but now it seems we can only find opportunities in the future.
Already."
"If you go further south, you will enter the westerly zone. You can be prepared for the perennial level 5 and 6 westerly winds and swells of four to five meters high." Captain Miao reminded.
Big Ivan swallowed, "I hope not."
"Eat meat!" Nasha didn't even give him a chance to say the words, and directly put the unfinished sheep and scorpion in her hand to Big Ivan's mouth.
"I haven't said anything yet." Before Da Iwan finished speaking, he saw everyone at the table, including Captain Miao, looking at him with burning eyes. In the end, he could only take the bones and meat handed over by Nasha and break them viciously.
Kai, "I didn't say anything!"
"Ivan, why don't you go find Master Lin, the machine head? There is a statue of Mazu in his room. You can worship Mazu. It will be more useful than your cross." Captain Miao suggested kindly. He originally thought that this gang
The young man was teasing Big Ivan.
But along the way, he really saw what it means to "get the wind and the rain". As long as this big guy opens his mouth, it rarely fails. The only bad thing is that, except for the first time
Apart from the meeting ceremony, the remaining ups and downs always appeared at the least expected time.
Call it a coincidence. People who run boats all believe in something. Call it superstition, but this big man’s mouth is also quite clever. He boasts that he has been running boats for so many years.
The next time I saw it was the weather forecast that was so accurate.
No matter whether Big Ivan finally went to Master Lin to have a friendly academic exchange on their respective beliefs. Early the next morning, everyone who had completed lashing all the movable items on the ship had a rare windless day.
A sunny day without waves.
The icebreaker Pingtou Ge, which had exerted all its strength, was dyed half red by the rising sun, and bravely broke into the westerly belt, which is a nightmare for sailors.
When the icebreaker sailed from morning to noon, although it was obvious that the wind and waves outside the window were getting stronger and stronger, Shi Quan and others still persisted. At least they still had an appetite for meals. But by dinner time, all of them
Everyone had gone back to their rooms and returned all the food they had eaten for lunch in front of their vomit bags.
The sea conditions here are far more dangerous than the Bering Sea. The waves with white water spray are often four or five meters high. Some aliens are even directly higher than the bow of the ship. The huge force contained in it makes the icebreaker rise and fall again and again, causing the ship to rise and fall.
People are addicted to playing pirate ship.
Such bad sea conditions also caused the ship's speed to decrease again and again, but in Captain Miao's words, this was just the impact of the outer edge of the westerly belt. Sure enough, by the next day, not only the young people in the club, but also
Even First Officer Zhang lost his balance due to the rocking of the ship and cut a gash on his forehead that was five centimeters long.
With the help of Liu Xiaoye, Zhang Chuqing endured the pain and tears to help her father suture the wound, but the stubborn old man struggled back to the bridge before the anesthetic wore off and continued to stand next to Captain Miao.
As the ship's hull rocked violently, Shi Quan, who was originally lying on the bed, rolled and fell to the floor. This was not the first time, and it would certainly not be the last time.
Shi Quan, who was lying on the ground, calmed down, resisted vomiting and got up, holding on to the wall and staggering out of the cabin. Behind him, Elena wrapped herself in the quilt, holding on tightly with a pair of small hands.
Use the remaining mattress to avoid repeating Shi Quan's tragedy. Don't let her stand up at this time, even if she moves more, she may vomit something again.
With the shaking of his body, he hit the door with a clang. Shi Quan tightened his grip on the handrail on the wall and moved towards the driver's seat little by little.
Now that the elevator on the ship had been locked, he had to stop and vomit twice into the vomiting bag just a short distance up the stairs.
For people who have never been here, the westerly belt shows its terror with the simplest but most boring shaking. And for Captain Miao who has sailed here more than once on the bridge, the test has just begun.
.
"Captain Miao Miao, how far is it?" Shi Quan asked, almost leaning against the door.
"It will take at least two days, but we have to go around Port-de-France, and depending on the sea conditions, it will take three or four days to reach our destination."
Captain Miao responded angrily. The violent shaking of the ship's hull seemed to have no effect on him at all, but the palms of his hands tightly gripping the armrests of the bridge were already turning white due to excessive exertion.
Shi Quan opened his mouth and was about to say something when the feeling of vomiting suddenly came over him. He had to swallow the words that reached his mouth and started retching again into the vomiting bag.
"Why are you here if you don't just stay in the cabin?" Captain Miao asked as if he were watching a show.
"It doesn't matter where you are." Shi Quan walked over step by step and changed the chat partner, "Uncle Zhang, are you okay? Do you need me to take your place?"
"Stand aside, do I still need you to take my place?" Zhang Mate raised his hand in disgust, rejecting Shi Quan's help as if he were swatting away flies.
The latter was not angry at all. He supported the bridge and moved to the other side of Captain Miao and continued to ask, "Is there nothing wrong with the icebreaker?"
"What could be wrong with the ship? It's fine." Captain Miao held up a telescope with one hand and scanned the sea. "The stabilizer on this ship is a big help. Ordinary cruise ships may not be as safe as we are."
"Is this called stability?" Shi Quan swallowed, and really didn't know how much of Captain Miao's words were true.
"It's already settled," Captain Miao put down the telescope and said experiencedly, "This is your first time here and you feel the shaking is severe. You will understand what I mean when you go more often."
"Who has nothing to do to come to such a wretched place?" Shi Quan muttered, but then he thought about it, aren't his people just free? If he had known that he was going to suffer from this, it would be better to leave Russia and continue to dig up war ruins.
However, while Shi Quan was complaining, he didn't know that in a hotel room far away in Perth Harbor in the southwest corner of Australia, a middle-aged man who was short, slightly overweight and severely bald was hugging a white man.
Girl, use the sage's time to study a navigation chart carefully.
His stubby fingers followed the zigzag red line on the chart all the way down to the equator. The middle-aged man with an Asian face thought for a long time, and as if he had thought of something, he pushed the girl in his arms away, and then
He rushed into the bathroom.
The white girl lying on the bed curled her lips in disdain. She raised her watch and looked at the time. She found that it was less than ten minutes from start to finish. Her rating for the middle-aged man in the bathroom dropped directly to negative.
.
But after all, her score had no positive or negative effect. The balding middle-aged man tidied himself up in the bathroom, and when he came out, his head was already covered with a jet-black wig.
After sending away the hospitable white girl, the middle-aged man also left the hotel and headed straight for the pier. As he made phone calls one after another on the way, people from all corners of Perth city, young or old,
The serious Asians rushed back to the bulk carrier anchored at the dock as quickly as possible.
While bowing repeatedly like a body saying goodbye, the leaders of the bulk ship took advantage of the time before the sailors were preparing to set sail and sat down together on their knees. On the deck of the cargo ship outside the window, four aircraft of different models were parked.
Civilian helicopter!
"That idiot Honda is simply a disgrace to the fleet. If it hadn't been for his hesitation, maybe that icebreaker would have been our prize."
Chapter completed!
