Although the possibility should be low, the suspicion of the deep-sea monster still cast a shadow over the return journey of the Xingye.
And the problem is, now because of the typhoon, they can only continue heading towards the Marinaya Trench.
Far away from the mainland, there may be a terrifying monster lurking deep under the sea. This is a big problem.
But there is no better solution now. We can only take one step at a time, and the rest depends on luck.
The battleship finally sailed out of the typhoon circle thanks to Jiang Yu's efforts.
The dark night dispersed, the light of dawn pierced the haze of clouds, and the crisis was temporarily relieved.
Looking back, the terrifying huge cloud in the sky is almost endless, like the end of the world.
The people on board the Xingye breathed a sigh of relief. For them, the few hours last night were like a nightmare. This was the most dangerous time they had encountered since the Xingye came out.
Many people were so paralyzed in bed by the scene last night that they were motionless.
They had never been so scared when facing a top-notch monster like the Red Demonic Dragon, but last night they were really cowed in front of the power of nature.
Last night, the maximum swing of the Xingye almost reached 45 degrees. One disadvantage was that the ship was destroyed and everyone was destroyed.
The most important thing is that the feeling of being shaken to death on the boat is really painful.
At least three-quarters of the people were vomiting to death. When they regained their composure, almost half of the warriors said they needed to rest.
Just rest, and Ning Yi didn't stop him. Anyway, even if the Deep Sea Blue Devil really came, it would take several hours to arrive. Even he himself was exhausted after working all night.
After calling her home and reporting that she was safe, Ning Yi went to bed.
When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.
Everything was calm and the stormy scene last night was gone forever.
And the weather is very sunny. The sun hanging in the sky makes many people sneak onto the deck. It is autumn now. In this world, sunbathing is a very comfortable thing in autumn and winter.
Especially on this endless sea.
What stood in front of Ning Yi was the endless sea level. The sky was cloudless, and there was also a rare blue color.
Of course, it is still somewhat different from the blue sky on Earth. It seems that there are some unclear things that make the sky not so blue.
But for the people here, they are already used to it.
This is the best blue sky.
At this moment, the Xingye was more than a thousand nautical miles away from the coastline and only 500 nautical miles away from the Marina Ya Trench.
As expected, the typhoon is heading towards Haiyang District.
It has started to rain in Haiyang District now, and it is expected that Typhoon Haiou will make landfall at two or three in the morning.
Of course, the place where the Xingye is located now is peaceful and calm.
Now is the time to start making a decision. The typhoon is already ahead of the Xingye. If we want to return to the voyage now, there will be basically no problem.
Of course, there is another option that is even more difficult for Ning Yi to decide, which is to go straight to the Marinaya Trench and take a look at the situation there.
Although the target object had disappeared, Ning Yi still wanted to see what was going on there.
The most important thing is Zheng Beibei's matter. Catch a few ghostclaw monsters near the Marina Ya Trench, install trackers, and see if that ghostclaw monster will also give people a message like the previous one.
Incredible results.
If you don't do this, your trip will be in vain.
Of course, Zheng Beibei also said that catching the Spectral Claw near the Marina Bay Trench is the same.
It is only 500 nautical miles away from the Marina Bay Trench, and it is gone like this. What a pity the opportunity is.
However, for the sake of caution, Ning Yi still summoned the senior staff on the ship.
Ask for their opinions.
As a result, these guys probably all experienced the scene last night, and none of them spoke.
But when they voted, they all chose to continue sailing to the Marina Bay Trench.
Of course, it’s impossible not to prepare.
The weather has ruled out the possibility of a typhoon ahead.
The other one is the movement of the deep sea monster.
Jiang Yu, Zheng Beibei and some senior marine experts and sonar experts formed an analysis team.
Soon, they gave the location where the monster might arrive in the next few days.
From a probability perspective, it is certain that the probability of the monster returning to the Marina Bay Trench is about the same as the probability of following the typhoon and approaching the central area of the ocean.
If the Xingye chose a more tortuous route, the theoretical possibility of colliding with the monster would be less than 5%.
In this case, the Xingye will naturally continue to sail in the Marinaya Trench.
Of course, to be on the safe side, the drone will take off every hour to detect the surrounding situation.
When it is confirmed that there is no Red Devil Dragon, the helicopter will also take off with sonar detection equipment to detect it in a relatively distant place.
Fortunately, this helicopter carries two sets of active buoy sonar. When the flying altitude is more than 600 meters, the detection distance can be up to 40 kilometers, and when the altitude is 1,500 meters, it can even reach 135 kilometers.
As long as there is no Red Devil Dragon around, the helicopter can at least provide an early warning area of about a hundred kilometers in diameter.
As for the active sonar on the ship, it is turned on for a long time. Although the detection range is a bit short, there is still enough warning time.
However, maybe Ning Yi was worrying too much.
Throughout the whole day, they did not detect anything abnormal except for the Ghostclaw monster.
Soon, it got dark again.
The Xingye disappeared into the vast darkness of night again.
At this time, it was already 1,200 nautical miles away from Beiling Port, and only about 300 nautical miles away from the Marinaya Trench.
The Spectral Claw monsters probably lost interest in harassing the Xingye. Although there were more and more Spectral Claw monsters in this sea area, they retreated after a few tentative attacks.
This situation is quite unexpected.
However, although it seemed very peaceful, the night still made everyone feel a little uneasy.
Everyone knows that there is a huge crisis lurking under the ship.
And they just stepped on the edge of the knife and ran out to take risks.
Ning Yi asked Jiang Yu to speed up. Now the Xingye's speed has reached twenty-eight knots, and the Xingye's fastest speed can theoretically reach thirty-five knots.
While driving at high speed, Ning Yi called to report that he was safe as usual and then went to sleep.
No surprise. We will reach the scheduled sea area at around 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Ning Yi was woken up when she was drifting off to sleep.
The one who knocked on the door was Yang Yu.
Ning Yi thought they could spend the night together, but when he saw her wearing armor, she was shocked and asked, "What happened?"
Ning Yi has been a little tired these past few days, especially after fighting the typhoon last night.
So I slept a little like dead.
Yang Yu nodded: "We are in trouble."
Ning Yi didn't shy away from suspicion. He got up quickly, put on his clothes and asked, "Did you encounter that monster?"
Yang Yu shook his head: "It's not that it's just that the situation is a little weird right now."
"Weird?" Ning Yi was stunned. He quickly put on his clothes and even put on his armor.
Then he followed Yang Yu to the bridge.
Then he realized what happened. It turned out that the Xingye's communication suddenly had signal chaos.
There are many abnormalities in sonar detection, and sometimes the target cannot be detected, even though the ghostclaw monsters in the sea can be seen with the naked eye.
To sum up, the meaning is that the electromagnetic signal on the Xingye was interfered with.
This situation is very rare. This is high seas. Could it be done by Americans?
Ning Yi asked: "Have you found the source of the interference?"
Jiang Yu shook his head. But he nodded again.
Ning Yi was even more confused. What did he mean? Did he find it or not?
"Just tell me." Ning Yi said.
"We tried to track the signal interference source, but we couldn't find it." Jiang Yu replied with some embarrassment.
"Then what do you mean by nodding?" Ning Yi asked in confusion.
"Although we don't know how the other party interfered with us, after later elimination, we can confirm that the signal should come from under the sea." Jiang Yu said.
"Under the sea?" Ning Yi asked in surprise, "Is it a submarine?"
Jiang Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The possibility is not high. Even if the American submarine has better stealth performance, we are now using active sonar to detect it. It is impossible to find traces of it, and if the distance is quite far, their submarine will not be able to detect it."
There can be no means of jamming our signal."
"You mean, it's not a submarine?" Ning Yi's eyes widened. "What about this source of interference?"
Jiang Yu shook his head again: "I'm sorry, I couldn't find out the reason, unless"
"Unless what?"
"Unless there is a strong magnetic field or some special signal interference device nearby, the sea here is already six or seven kilometers deep, so there is no possibility of any special signal interference."
Hearing this, Ning Yi's heart couldn't help but move.
Strong magnetic field?
So will there be one over the Marina Ya Trench?
He thought about the Spectral Claw monster whose signal suddenly disappeared. Didn't it lose its signal nearby? Is there any connection between the two?
"Can you contact me at home?" Ning Yi asked.
Yang Yu shook his head: "The signal is sometimes good or bad, and the interference is very severe, so it basically cannot be transmitted."
Ning Yi frowned wildly. He was not worried about signal interference now, but worried about how worried the women at home would be once they knew they couldn't contact him.
"What are you going to do now?" Ning Yi asked.
Those present included Zheng Wu, Yang Yu, Chen Bin, Jiang Yu, Xingye's first mate Li Pang, Shang He, and the two captains of the warriors, Gao Ting and Chen Qiqi.
Basically all the senior staff on the ship are here.
Yang Yu looked at Jiang Yu and took the initiative to say: "If we continue to drive in now, I'm afraid we will lose our way, but these are not the biggest problems. The biggest problem is that we can't contact the people at home, and they will think we are
If something happens, then there will be trouble."
As expected of her, she directly addressed Ning Yi's biggest worries as soon as she opened her mouth.
Ning Yi nodded: "What is your suggestion?"
This time Shang He spoke: "We just discussed it and there are two plans, and finally let you make the decision."
Jiang Yu interfaced and said: "The first plan is to switch to manual operation and continue heading towards the Marinaya Trench. We will be able to reach that sea area in at most six hours. Many people on our ship are here.
We have had the experience here, and even if there is no electromagnetic signal, we are confident that we can get there."
"What about the risks?"
"The risk is that if the signal interference area is large, then our trip will be in vain, and it is very likely that we will get lost in this area."
"What about the second plan?" Ning Yi asked.
"Turn around now. We calculated and found that it only took about an hour for the signal to be interfered with. If we turn around now, we should be able to return to normal status soon. The problem is, if this interference is not a regional problem, then we will return
It’s all in vain.”
"The second plan." Ning Yi said, and after thinking for a while, he explained a little more, "Let's go back first. If we can return to normal after we go back, it will prove that it is a regional problem. Then we will contact you first
Home, so as not to worry them, and then consider whether to re-enter this interference area."
There is no doubt that the second option is safer.
Yang Yu and others nodded together: "Actually, we think so too."
The decision was made, and the Xingye immediately turned around.
The electromagnetic signals were chaotic, and they had no idea what to do. Fortunately, Jiang Yu and the others could still control the battleship steadily even without the assistance of these electronic signals.
But there is still a certain gap from what was expected.
I originally thought I could drive out of the signal chaos area in an hour.
It took almost two hours to get out.
When all signals returned to normal, a bit of shocking data appeared in front of them.
One thing is certain, that is, the position they took before entering the signal chaos area is exactly the same as the position where the signal returns to normal now.
However, after an hour of entering, it took two hours to exit at the same speed, and the Xingye did not make any turns or circles during the journey.
Same speed, same distance, but twice the time.
It’s not clear logically. Why is the extra hour coming?
Ning Yi felt a chill on her back.
Of course, not only him, but Jiang Yu also grabbed the navigator and asked him if he had remembered the wrong location.
After receiving a negative answer, Jiang Yu went to check the navigation records himself, and the results were correct.
At this time, something even more speechless happened.
Yang Yu suddenly looked at Ning Yi's watch, and then said in shock: "That's wrong, why is the time displayed on your watch one hour faster than the time displayed on the electronic screen?"
Ning Yi's watch is a mechanical watch and there is no electromagnetic interference.
So theoretically there should be no problem with this time.
But the problem is that Ning Yi thinks that the time should be two hours. The concept of two hours and the concept of one hour are easy to distinguish even without looking at the watch. (~^~
