"The Chinese Navy here is Ship 283. I am Captain Gao Mingyuan. Please answer me if you hear me!" He came very close to the sea area Zhao Ye mentioned, but Gao Mingyuan and his fleet still couldn't see anything.
This sea area is very strange. Although the weather is sunny, the visibility is not very high.
Forget it, no matter how low the visibility is, nothing can be seen.
But the difficulty lies in the fact that there are too many underwater reefs.
Zhao Ye's island-building movement some time ago triggered many earthquakes and undersea volcanic eruptions, causing changes in the underwater topography of a large part of the sea.
Everyone on the 283 ship was extremely nervous, fearing that they would accidentally hit the rocks. This place is far away from the port, so if something happened, there would be no way to rescue them.
The freighter was asked to stop outside and could not go any further. If something happened, we couldn't do it together. In that case, there would be no way out.
Several soldiers rowed small boats to explore the path ahead. They measured while moving forward. Don't worry about speed.
After finally passing a narrow channel, another group of soldiers hurriedly set up beacons at key locations in the channel, and the ship's navigator also transformed into a draftsman, marking the location of the channel on the chart.
The cargo ship behind followed cautiously.
"This is the Chinese Navy Ship 283, please answer if you hear it!" Gao Mingyuan was in no danger for the time being, so he called again through the radio.
"I am Zhao Ye, Captain Gao. I hear you very clearly."
Just when Gao Mingyuan thought he was going to be disappointed again, Zhao Ye's voice came from the radio.
"Zhao Ye, it's really you! You're so hard to find!" Gao Mingyuan had been highly nervous for the past few hours. He suddenly heard Zhao Ye's voice and suddenly became excited.
"No. 283, please keep the radio open and I will navigate your ship!" Zhao Ye's voice sounded on the radio, which made Gao Mingyuan unable to believe it for a moment.
"283 understand, keep the radio open."
Gao Mingyuan replied, although he couldn't understand why Zhao Ye could navigate their ship.
"Direction 185, proceed one nautical mile, then turn fifteen degrees to the right." Zhao Ye's voice rang on the radio.
Gao Mingyuan is the captain. Although he cannot leave the safety of 283 in Zhao Ye's hands, targeted exploration of the waters is much faster than the aimless exploration just now.
As the soldiers on the boat explored the waterway Zhao Ye mentioned and proved the safety of the navigation data, 283 boldly walked forward.
Following Zhao Ye's step-by-step guidance, 283 soon saw the big black island in the distance.
The island is very big. There are many small islands scattered around this big island. But the area is not that big.
When 283 sailed into a bay under the guidance of Zhao Ye, Gao Mingyuan's first reaction was to defend this place. He must defend this place!
This bay is so good. The entrance is not very wide, but it is still several hundred meters long. The mountains on both sides are like arms, tightly protecting the bay. The widest part of the entire bay is definitely more than three kilometers, and the depth is also
It's almost five kilometers.
After sailing so far, to be able to see such a bay is really a blessing from God!
Zhao Ye didn't know what he was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely sneer at him in his heart. God would care? Without Zhao Ye's "hard work", God would be too lazy to care about them.
The process of docking the ship is a bit troublesome. After all, this is not a mature port, so don't even think about docking.
However, the bay is calm and calm, so anchoring directly is no big deal.
When Gao Mingyuan boarded the land in a small boat, he also lay on the ground.
Zhao Ye squatted next to him, and the two held hands tightly.
"Comrade Zhao Ye, it's really you! Why have you drifted so far!" Gao Mingyuan felt relieved now and was in the mood to make fun of him.
After the soldiers' landsickness was relieved, the group walked onto the big island under the leadership of Zhao Ye.
"How did you navigate us?"
Gao Mingyuan has been thinking about this question for a long time, but he still hasn't figured it out. At this time, what he wants to know most is this question.
"Haha, Captain Gao, I'll take you to have a look and you'll know." Zhao Ye didn't say much and just led Gao Mingyuan up the mountain.
It's impossible to go up to the top of the mountain. It's still spewing steam, so you can't get close at all. But there is a radar set up on a flat place halfway up the mountain.
Of course Gao Mingyuan knew this thing. He looked at the markings on the radar, and the mark of the Bald Eagle Country was clearly visible.
Gao Mingyuan suddenly had countless ideas.
"Captain Gao, I found this on a nearby sunken ship. It took me a long time to repair it." Of course, Zhao Ye could see the doubt in Gao Mingyuan's eyes.
"Where is the sunken ship?" Gao Mingyuan couldn't help but doubt that Zhao Ye's explanation was a bit too far-fetched.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see it!" Zhao Ye didn't include the lake either. He had already prepared this.
Gao Mingyuan followed Zhao Ye all the way to the beach. Then he took the boat and sailed towards the island.
When they arrived near the island, Gao Mingyuan saw the sunken ship that Zhao Ye mentioned.
This is a small warship of the Bald Eagle Army, which is not surprising. No matter what kind of ship, there is a risk of sinking in this reef-filled sea.
What surprised everyone was that half of the ship's hull was embedded in stone.
The bow of the ship is raised high, but the stern is buried in the stone.
"This? Is this okay?" Gao Mingyuan really couldn't figure out how this was formed. He wouldn't even dare to do something like this, would he?
"When I first came here, this island didn't exist. A year ago, volcanoes and earthquakes erupted here one after another. This is how the island we just went was formed."
When Zhao Ye talks about his experiences over the past year, it sounds like a fairy tale to other people's ears.
"So, this ship may have sunk to the bottom of the sea before, and then encountered a volcanic eruption, and was brought up from the bottom of the sea. In the end, the magma wrapped up the second half of his body?" Gao Mingyuan is so tall, is this still his first time?
I encountered such a bizarre thing once.
But although the story is bizarre, embedding a ship into a stone is obviously not something that humans can do.
Gao Mingyuan didn't think about it anymore. He asked someone to take photos, and then climbed into the boat to take a look.
Indeed, as Zhao Ye said, many of the equipment have signs of dismantling.
"Did you do this alone?" Gao Mingyuan didn't know what to say. Is this Zhao Ye still a human? What a huge workload!
"I have been working for more than half a year, and I really had no choice at that time. I only had this one way to possibly contact the motherland. If this method doesn't work, I will have no choice but to go back and row the boat." Zhao Ye said helplessly.
: "Fortunately, I was able to fix it in the end."
After seeing this "wonderful scene", Gao Mingyuan led the soldiers back. On the way back, he told the soldiers that this matter should be kept secret first and should not be told to outsiders.
When going back, Zhao Ye deliberately proposed to take another route. The reason was that there was a "wonderful scene" there.
Of course Gao Mingyuan would not refuse, so the soldiers rowed their boats again and walked in the direction pointed by Zhao Ye.
"Look over there!" Zhao Ye said, pointing to the "boiling" sea water in the distance.
"Huh? Why is the water boiling?" Gao Mingyuan had a telescope and could see more clearly.
"Captain Gao, I suspect that it may be the underground gas that is spraying out. It looks like a pot is boiling!" Zhao Ye explained.
"Gas?" Gao Mingyuan really didn't understand.
"Yes, it's probably natural gas, so comrades, please don't smoke. Otherwise it will explode!" Zhao Ye had to remind everyone. Some people with cigarettes in their mouths quickly wiped out the cigarette butts with their hands.
The boat was not too close. In order to prove whether the water was really boiling, Gao Mingyuan also tested the temperature of the water with his hands.
"Take pictures, take pictures. Let the experts take a look later. What can we see?" Gao Mingyuan couldn't figure out why there was such a landscape, but he still didn't forget to take pictures and go back.
The boat left here and headed back, and soon arrived at the main island.
A group of people went into the water and pulled and towed the boat to the shore. When everyone was sorting out their clothes, they discovered that there were some black spots on the undershirts.
"This could be oil!" Zhao Ye said silently.
"Oil? Is there still oil in the water?" Gao Mingyuan felt that his brain was really running out today. After being in the navy for so long, he saw more rare things today than he had heard of in the past few years.
At night, except for the soldiers on duty on the ship, everyone rested in the camp on the shore.
Precipitation here is abundant and it rains from time to time.
Therefore, the soldiers chose a high platform as their camp and put up some simple tents with canvas.
There is no shortage of fresh water here. The water in the pond is already very deep, but the current water is not drinkable.
Zhao Ye used a simple filtering device to get some clean water for the soldiers to cook. It was impossible to have a fire. There was no vegetation here, so fuel was very precious.
Arriving at Zhao Ye's hut, Gao Mingyuan discussed with him how to report today's findings to his superiors.
"I think it's better to talk about many things in person." Zhao Ye thought for a while and rejected the idea of reporting details over the radio.
Gao Mingyuan listened and nodded thoughtfully. He recognized Zhao Ye's idea.
Therefore, the message sent to the base simply stated that they had met Zhao Ye and that the fleet would repair for three days and then return.
Three days later, Zhao Ye boarded the 283 ship again and left the island group he had "created" by himself.
Although Zhao Ye left, Ship 283 and the accompanying cargo ship still left five soldiers stationed here at Zhao Ye's request.
Looking at the island farther and farther away, Zhao Ye's thoughts became more and more profound. Only now did his plan enter the most critical moment.
After returning, greater challenges are waiting for him.
