The sun is rising, and a light mist is floating on the calm sea.
Chen Yuan gasped for breath, a salty taste appeared in his mouth, and he coughed uncontrollably, with blood foam flowing out from the corners of his mouth.
He was injured, very seriously.
When people dive into deeper waters, they must first decompress before resurfacing.
Chen Yuan himself is considered a senior diver and knows some data. For example, when the diving depth is 115 to 120 meters, if there is no anti-pressure suit, the required decompression time is 7.2 to 10.6 times the effective underwater operation time. This means
If the effective operating time is only 10 minutes, the decompression time will be as long as 1 to 2 hours.
When surfacing, you usually enter an underwater decompression chamber...
Rapidly rising from deep water has serious consequences. Just like sea fishing, if a fish is quickly pulled up from a depth of tens of meters, it will be difficult to survive.
Chen Yuan once tested his physical limits. He dived about 300 meters and surfaced quickly, but his chest hurt for several days.
He just floated quietly on the sea. After a long time, Chen Yuan regained consciousness and turned his head. His whole body ached. His head was also swollen...
There is fog on the sea surface, which is visible to the naked eye. The boats parked on the sea have drifted away.
"My brother has a high fever." Chen Hao said.
"Chen Yuan." Zhou Jianguo and Gao He came to the side of the ship and shouted.
"You scared me to death." Zhou Jianguo touched Chen Yuan's head: "It's very hot. Go to the infirmary quickly."
After an unexpected encounter seven years ago, Chen Yuan had a much better physical fitness than ordinary people, and he never thought that he would have such an embarrassing day.
After waiting for two seconds, Chen Yuan climbed up step by step. Zhou Jianguo and Gao He quickly supported him.
Chen Yuan really had no strength left, so he leaned on the stool and fell asleep in a daze.
At this time, Chen Yuan was not flustered, but calm and kept awake. His physical condition was very bad...
Gao He looked at the chart: "Why did Chen Yuan go to the Antarctic continent?"
Chen Yuan raised his hand weakly.
Chen Yuan pinched the center of his eyebrows and said weakly: "When I came here yesterday, I felt unwell and had a high fever... I just wanted to lie down for a while, but my body became weaker and weaker."
"It's best if nothing happens..." Zhou Jianguo had a headache.
Chen Yuan gently swung his hands and swam towards the boat, but his body was affected, causing pain in his chest... Then he changed to swinging his feet and slowly swam over.
Zhou Jianguo raised his head and looked at the position shown on the chart and was silent for a while: "Before Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng left Dongjiang Fishery, something happened to them there. At that time, the fleet encountered huge waves, and Chen Yuan accidentally fell into the sea.
Sheng jumped down at that time... When the fleet came to find them, Zhou Sheng tied Chen Yuan to his body."
"You haven't received Chen Yuan's signal yet?" Zhou Jianguo came to the cab.
"Do you have the strength to get up?"
You need to be particularly careful when entering the Southern Ocean, and the speed of 12 knots is not too slow.
It is too close to the Antarctic continent and the water temperature is only a few degrees.
It's not dark yet, so it's afternoon. It's summer in the Southern Hemisphere. Where he is, the night time is less than an hour. In a few days, it will be the peak of daylight...
When Chen Yuan woke up from his sleep, his mental state was much better, but his whole body ached, so he let out a soft 'hmm'.
"They have a life-long friendship. Zhou Sheng saved Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan also saved Zhou Sheng..."
Gao He nodded...
Before Zhou Jianguo finished speaking, Chen Yuan's voice came over the radio: "I'm Chen Yuan, calling Fu'an 79, I received the answer."
Gao He frowned: "After returning to China this time, you need to see a psychiatrist. Your current situation is really not suitable for you to continue working on the ship."
"Where will Chen Yuan go?" Gao He asked.
Chen Yuan lay on the stern of the boat, just like this, slowly regaining his strength. After about half an hour, Chen Yuan felt that his body had gained strength, and then he climbed onto the boat with all his strength.
Chen Yuan set out yesterday morning, and now it is already afternoon, but he has not received any signal from Chen Yuan.
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Hao came in quickly and helped Chen Yuan.
At noon, Gao He and the others finally found the boat floating on the sea.
The body is cold.
…
Time passed little by little, and the fog on the sea dispersed. Chen Yuan finally saw his boat, but it had drifted very far away and could only see a small dot.
"I don't know..." Just as he was talking, Zhou Jianguo saw the signal sent by the No. 1 auxiliary ship and quickly opened the chart: "Chen Yuan turned on the ship's signal. The location is..."
It got dark, and soon it was light.
Chen Yuan only lay down for a few minutes. He found the clothes he had left yesterday and put them on... He was still very cold and his body was shivering.
Chen Yuan tried again to communicate deep between his eyebrows, but was unable to feel the small ball. Fortunately, Chen Yuan's physical fitness was not ordinary. As time passed, Chen Yuan could feel his body recovering. It was so cold.
It was after ten o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up.
Chen Yuan made an OK sign, leaned on the rope, and took a difficult step to climb, which pulled his chest and sucked in the air from the pain.
Entering the Southern Ocean, the speed of Fuan 79 dropped to only 12 knots. There were three observers in the cab, all of whom were staring at the sea with binoculars.
"Received." Gao He quickly picked up the pager.
Chen Yuan opened the mineral water on board, rinsed his mouth, and drank some in small sips.
"Where I am... come and pick me up. I'm not feeling well and I have no strength left."
"It's good... I haven't lost my temper for a long time." Chen Hao said.
The ship's collision avoidance and auxiliary radars are also all turned on.
"We'll go right away."
This boat is an auxiliary boat for finding fish. There are emergency food on board, some compressed biscuits, and some canned food.
Chen Yuan found these things, leaned on the stool in the driver's seat, and ate some in small bites. After a long time... the sun seemed to be moving to the west, and then he turned on the auxiliary ship's communicator.
Gao He said 'hmm' and smiled: "No wonder Chen Yuan looks after Zhou Sheng so much."
Chen Hao touched Chen Yuan's head. His forehead felt hot. The fever was very serious.
On the deck of the auxiliary ship, Chen Yuan panted lightly, not daring to take a big breath as it would strain his chest...
The sun was almost reaching the top of his head. Chen Yuan finally came to the side of the boat, stretched out his hand to pull the boat, and wanted to climb up. But his body had no strength at all...
Chen Hao was also a little worried. He came to the windshield and picked up the binoculars...
Fortunately, it was calm today and there were no ripples on the water.
Gao He slowed down and let the fishing boat pass by.
Gao He shook his head and glanced at Chen Hao: "How has your brother's mental state been recently?"
Chen Hao quickly ran out of the cabin, took the rope ladder, and was the first to come to the auxiliary boat: "Brother~!"
The body is cold.
Chen Yuan smiled and said 'hmm': "I just wanted to go out and relax. By the way, there is a sheltered bay about 20 nautical miles further. The snow scenery there is very beautiful. We can go there and have a look."
Gao He just rolled his eyes.
Zhou Jianguo smiled and said: "Is that sheltered bay where the Dongjiang fleet often went to fish for shrimps?"
