"Don't stop the boat yet, keep moving forward, we'll keep an eye on it." Mr. Mai finally gave the order.
"Okay, I'll notify them." Shaoyu ran to the control room again.
Jiao Ba said at this time, "The malfunction of the radar has a lot to do with the environment here. We have to be mentally prepared. It may happen at any time..."
But before he finished speaking, there was a "boom" sound, and the ship's hull suddenly shook, as if it hit something, and almost threw us off the ship. I hurriedly grabbed the railing, otherwise this
You have to fall down.
"***, what's going on?" Steamed Bun fell to the deck, he got up and cursed.
The big man also fell. He got up and looked around, "Mom, didn't you hit an iceberg?"
"Do you think this is the Titanic?" I was really impressed by the big man.
"Nonsense, there are no icebergs here. Shaoyu, please take someone to check the cabin to see if there is any damage. Mantou, big man, you two will follow." Mai Lao shouted anxiously.
Shaoyu had just come back and had to go back. He took a few people and hurriedly ran under the cabin. If the hull of the ship was knocked open, it would be over. Once the water leakage is serious, the ship will easily sink.
.
At this time, the ship had stopped. Because I wasn't sure what it had hit, I didn't dare to go any further. I leaned on the railing and looked down. Maybe it was because of the fog that I couldn't see the research ship clearly.
What exactly did it hit? I circled around the bow of the ship and didn't see anything.
"Zhongyi, did you see something?" Mai Lao, like me, was lying on the bow of the boat and looking down.
"No, I can't see anything except the fog. I have to turn on the strong light to have a look." I turned back to look at him and said.
Mai Lao quickly asked people to turn on the lights on the boat. Four strong lights penetrated the fog and reached the water surface. However, there was still nothing on the water surface. Although the lights were very strong, they only played a supporting role and could only increase the number of people.
It's just visibility, it's impossible to completely separate the fog.
"No, I still can't see it." Li Xin also kept observing the surroundings.
"Could it be a fish? It swam away after hitting the boat." Shunzi looked down and asked casually.
Mai Lao shook his head and said, "Impossible. What kind of fish can hit and shake this big ship? And in most cases, fish will not hit the ship, so there is almost no possibility of it."
At this time, Shaoyu, Big Man and others returned.
"How is it?" Mai Lao asked quickly when he saw that they were back.
"It's okay. There is no damage to the hull. We are safe now." Shaoyu's expression also softened a lot. This is fortunate.
Now the hull is fine, but we haven't confirmed what we hit, let alone whether there is anything in front of us. The radar has failed, so we have to have someone go down and take a look at the impact on the sea.
Are the things on our ship still there? Only if there is nothing left can we move on.
No one wanted to do this job. It was very cold and dangerous in this foggy day. No one was willing to go down. I had no choice but to bite the bullet. This seemed to have become a habit.
Whatever we don't want to do, in the end it will either be me and Jiao Ba, or Mr. Mai himself.
I tied the safety rope around my waist and started to descend along the bow of the ship. This time, no one was holding the rope. Everything was automated mechanical equipment. When they lowered me to the level of the sea,
I shouted to indicate that I could stop.
I am now in the middle of the bow, turning on the strong flashlight, and looking around, but there is nothing around except the calm sea. The gray-white mist is floating back and forth on the sea. It is really strange.
, the boat obviously hit something, but why is there nothing?
"Zhongyi, did you see anything?" Mai Lao shouted from above.
I raised my head and shouted, "Not yet, wait a moment, I'll check both sides."
"If there's nothing, just come up. It's dangerous." Li Xin shouted down.
I waved my hand and said, "Don't worry, it's okay." This girl was worried about me, and my heart suddenly felt warm. This feeling was good, but I didn't have time to feel its beauty.
I looked on both the left and right sides of the bow, but still found nothing. However, I discovered a very strange phenomenon. Logically speaking, it is impossible for the sea water to be without a trace of waves. Even if the sea is calm,
It will also have some small ripples.
But the sea water here is just the opposite. It has no waves. The entire sea surface is like a mirror. It is so calm that it is scary. It is even calmer than stagnant water. This is not in line with the laws of nature at all. How can there be sea water?
It's so peaceful, it's almost like deathly silence.
At this moment, I felt a little nervous. Why is this ghost place so evil? The gray-white eerie fog and the mirror-flat sea surface seemed to be very peaceful. But this weird tranquility was even worse than that terrifying island.
Makes people tremble.
This place reminds me of the dark sea area before, somewhat similar to that scene, but the dark sea area is just a calm seabed, and the sea surface is normal, but here the entire sea surface is so calm, I don’t know what the scene is like under the water.
"Hey, Zhongyi, how are you?" Mai Lao shouted again. It seemed that they were a little anxious.
I raised my head and shouted, "There is still nothing, and there are no obstacles in front of me. We can sail." Since I couldn't find anything, there was no need to waste any more time.
"Okay, I'll pull you up now."
But just when the rope was about to start, I suddenly saw that the calm sea began to ripple. The ripples spread to both sides. It was obvious that something was swimming over.
I stared at the flowing water, not even daring to blink. Just as the rope was rising, suddenly, a huge black figure appeared in front of me and swam in the water below me.
Although the surrounding fog is very heavy, the black shadow is too obvious. It is inversely proportional to the surrounding colors. It can be seen at a glance that the black shadow should be more than two meters deep under the water. It feels like it is very far away from me.
close.
At this moment, I was so frightened that I couldn’t even speak. I didn’t know what this black shadow was, but it was definitely a fish, not a whale. The black shadow was at least ten meters long. The underwater image looked like
Just like a small submarine.
But its marching state was in an S shape, like a snake, swaying back and forth, very fast, and disappeared before my eyes in an instant.
