"Nice to see you again, sir." An old man wearing a light blue uniform, with a big beard on his face and a big belly in the middle, who looked like a roly-poly, walked out from the corner with a trace of
He was pale and breathing a little quickly, obviously not as calm as he appeared.
"Who are you?" Tang Ji frowned. Although he asked this question, his subconscious intuition had already judged that he was very familiar with the person in front of him.
"Foreman Chance, sir, your steward aboard the Moonlight Gold. As per Mr. Frederick's request twenty-six years and seven months ago, this ship has been transferred to your name. It is your
Legal property." Forman took the opportunity to speak and breathed quietly.
He was awakened from the dormant cabin by the system when Tang Ji activated the biometric system. In order to appear in front of Tang Ji immediately, he even put on his uniform while walking. At this time, his meticulous uniform jacket
Bottom, part of the white shirt is not completely pressed into the waistband.
This made Foreman very angry, as if a bee had landed on the tip of his nose and was trying to sting.
"Do I know you? Or, do you know me?" Tang Ji looked around. The ship and the steward in front of him made him full of anger at his muddy memory.
"Of course, Mr. Tang Ji, you are a big shot." Forman was stunned for a moment. Obviously, the accident of his employer's amnesia was not within the scope of his previous training, and it was not easy to find an adjective that could accurately describe Tang Ji.
After all, the world's view of him is very complicated.
As for the other passengers on the Moonlight Gold, the nicknames they secretly gave Tang Ji were not worthy of publicity.
"Tell me everything you know, how did I get here, and what happened in this world?" Tang Ji glanced at Foreman. He didn't feel any hostility from the other person, so he said directly:
"There is something wrong with my memory. I was found on the beach not far from this ship. Was I a passenger on this ship before?"
"No, sir, you came to this ship a long time ago and did many major things in this world that affected the world structure. I am very sure that you were not here before the Apocalypse." Forman said respectfully.
: "According to my records, the last passenger to leave the Moonlight Gold was Mr. Carl Wiler. He disembarked one hundred and thirty-two days before the Apocalypse. During this period, the Moonlight Gold only floated once seven days before the Apocalypse.
, after replenishing supplies for the last time, we have been waiting for the coming of the Apocalypse at a depth of 1,250 meters."
"This was originally a backup shelter prepared by you and your team during the Apocalypse Day, but fortunately, you and your team all entered their preferred shelters as planned, while I entered the shelter after the Apocalypse Day.
On the 705th day, it entered a dormant state, and then maintained a frequency of waking up every five years to perform basic maintenance on the internal facilities of the Moonlight Gold."
"Twelve years ago, the Moonlight Gold's propeller developed cracks and could not maintain power output. I had to anchor in a shallow sea area near the continental shelf to ensure that you and your team could use this ship again in the future." Fu.
Mann briefly introduced his experience, and then said: "Although you happened to appear near the Moonlight Gold, you really have nothing to do with this ship."
Tang Ji's frown deepened, so someone deliberately threw him near his ship?
But when did he own such a seemingly valuable boat? In Tang Ji’s impression, he was still in a hurry to replace a nanny car.
"Sir, if you feel uncomfortable, there is a professional medical cabin on the Moonlight Gold that can conduct a full body examination on you." Forman said, making a gesture of invitation to Tang Ji: "Because you and your
The team members are all very healthy, so the medical cabin here has been idle and has not been really used. However, I have read the instructions for all the equipment and I am fully confident in using these equipment."
When Tang Ji heard the medical cabin, he suddenly thought of the members of the Seafarers' Home on the shore, and the mother who had been waiting for a miracle because her child was sick: "Can this ship surface now? There are some refugees on the shore who need treatment.
, I heard you say that supplies were received on the ship? How much food and medicine was there? "
"Mr. Tang Ji, the supplies on the ship were stocked by Ms. Wu Qianying according to the standards of the end of the world. Our food is enough for two hundred refugees to last two years and four months according to the scientific standards of modern nutrition. The medicine reserve is about the same as a small field battle."
Hospital." Forman said conscientiously: "In addition, our seawater desalination system can sustain the daily consumption of a population of one thousand people."
"According to your request, we have also stocked small integrated industrial systems that can carry out basic industrial production in the cabin." Foreman's words made Tang Ji frown: "The current power system of the Moonlight Gold
It still maintains 92% of its output power and can completely rise out of the water, but the blades of the propulsion system have cracks, making it impossible to sail far."
"In that case, raise the ship. Someone needs these supplies more than me." Tang Ji waved his hand and signaled Foreman to start taking action; "Then, slowly tell me the news you know about me.
Once again.”
"Okay, sir." Foreman didn't have any dissatisfaction, and immediately followed Tang Ji's order and asked the Moonlight Gold to start executing the order to float.
"He really went in!" On the Pride, the crew members were all extremely excited as they looked at the huge creature with lights on underwater.
Their tone was excited and incoherent, but some were frightened. They were afraid that Tang Ji would no longer respond to them. After all, it was the end of the world. What if the supplies on the ship were not as much as they imagined? What if Tang Ji sailed away directly?
There are too many unknown factors
"We should send someone to follow him!" A man complained with some annoyance.
"Impossible, the watertight cabin is so big, there is no way it can accommodate two people." Miles shook his head: "Don't be so pessimistic, maybe."
"The ship has moved! That ship has moved!" the crew outside shouted loudly, and almost everyone lay on the deck looking down.
"It's rising!" Miles only glanced at it and was sure that the light tube was closer to them than before. He had been watching the Moonlight Gold here for hundreds of days and nights, and he couldn't be wrong.
"Sail! We are too close to it! Sail and get out of the way!" Millers shouted to his crew, trying to get the old broken ship to move.
But too many sailors' attention was on the Moonlight Gold, and they didn't notice Millers's cry at all. Fortunately, the Pride was just a large speedboat, and Millers finally relied on only a few
The crew, before being hit, moved the Pride far enough away.
The side of their ship was once less than five meters away from the Moonlight Gold, and the shadow cast by the huge ship rising from the water enveloped them.
Captain Geraint and the people in the Sailor's Home camp just stood on the beach in a daze, watching this large ship, which can be called the crystallization of human art, spread its wings in the sun and change from submarine mode to normal mode.
"Is this the ship built by humans before the Apocalypse!" O'Brien's excited words were incoherent, and his voice was seven or eight degrees higher, as sharp as a girl's.
But no one paid attention to this at this time. You must know that even before the Apocalypse, the Moonlight Gold could attract countless people's amazement every time it docked, let alone now.
The special materials prevent the Moonlight Gold from being absorbed and grown by those marine creatures. The rotating and unfolding wings are like the wings of angels flying across the world. The flowing water turns into mist in the wind, and finally turns into a rainbow by the sunlight. It
Every inch and every centimeter of it is incompatible with this shabby world, forming a sharp contrast with the tiny Pride next to it.
In O'Brien's words, I would rather die than be a sailor on the Pride. It doesn't deserve to be called a ship at all.
Captain Geraint shouted excitedly, as if he wanted to shout out all the hardships he had suffered in the future, but he could not answer O'Brien's question because he had never seen such a beautiful ship before the Apocalypse.
Can say: "I don't know child! I don't know!"
Tangji walked onto the deck, stepped on the sculpture on the bow of the ship and said to the crew of the Pride: "Good news, gentlemen, there are sufficient supplies on the ship, enough for us to eat for several years!"
"Long live!" Some of the sailors on the Pride immediately jumped into the sea, cried, and swam to the Moonlight Gold, kissing the surface paint of the ship and wiping all the snot and tears on it.
Tang Ji has only lived here for a month, but he can understand the excitement of these people. He simply can't imagine how these people have survived these years.
"I have bad news here that I need you to deal with, sir." Foreman appeared behind Tang Ji and said: "The radar shows that several low-speed flying objects are approaching. According to the information recently updated by Apocalypse, it should be Sky Raiders.
AD-1 attack aircraft."
It was the group of predators. Tang Ji looked up at the sky. The radar found them outside the field of view, so the planes could not be seen yet.
"Do you need me to shoot them down? We are equipped with anti-aircraft weapons." Foreman stopped mid-sentence and said with great regret: "The system shows that our anti-aircraft missiles have malfunctioned and cannot be launched. I'm sorry, sir, but our
The anti-aircraft artillery can also enter manual operation mode, do you need me to operate it?"
As Forman spoke, an anti-aircraft cannon that had previously been hidden below the deck was raised on the edge of the deck. At the same time, he introduced: "Oerlikon GDF-010, the latest generation product with a 35mm caliber, has 3,500 rounds of ammunition.
, can guarantee full-speed shooting within three minutes, sir."
Tang Ji looked at Foreman's face and felt that it was a bit inconsistent, so he finally sat in the launch position.
The Moonlight Gold avoided most of the electromagnetic impact of the Apocalypse Day at more than a thousand meters of water, and many things on the ship are still usable, such as this anti-aircraft cannon.
Therefore, when those old Skyraiders appeared on the horizon, the fire control radar immediately locked onto the fighter jets, and then guided the anti-aircraft cannon to rotate. All Tangji needed to do was to pull the trigger and feel the real
The impact force fed back by the large diameter.
The pilots of the Predator in the sky never thought that one day they would be attacked by anti-aircraft fire from modern fire control radars. Two of the four planes were shot down immediately, and the remaining two turned around and ran away without hesitation.
At this time, the crowd celebrating like crazy on the shore didn't even react. They were startled by the rapid firepower of the anti-aircraft cannon. When they saw the plane starting to crash on the horizon, the sound of celebration suddenly became louder.
.
Tanguy asked Forman to unload the traffic boat on the ship, and with the cheers of the sailors of the Pride, the ship sailed to the shore.
"I knew it! I knew you were on that ship! I knew people like you wouldn't die on the Apocalypse!" On the shore, Geraint hugged Tangji forcefully and said.
"You know me too?" Tang Ji asked with his eyes widened.
"Of course, who doesn't know you? You are a big shot." Geraint finally said the same thing as Forman, and then the two looked at each other speechlessly.
"Let's talk later. Let your people get on the ship first. There is enough space and supplies on the ship." Tang Ji smiled, and then said: "Since you all say that I am a big shot, then the big shot will be generous for once.
"
"Thank you, Tang Ji, for saving all of us, twice." Captain Geraint hugged Tang Ji again, and then began to organize people to move to the Moonlight Gold. It was already noon, if not
After moving in the afternoon, the wind became stronger at night.
When the sun set, most women and children had already boarded the Moonlight Gold. They were all amazed by the spacious swimming pool on the deck, but then some members of the New Hope generation asked, why would anyone build a swimming pool on the ship?
Isn't this a disease of idleness?
Tang Ji was speechless because he felt the same way, but considering that he was the nominal captain of the Moonlight Gold, he remained silent.
"Sir, I must say that if these refugees are allowed to enter the cabin like this, it will cause irreparable damage to the interior of the ship!" Forman stood next to Tang Ji, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape.
"Do you think I care?" Tang Ji put a cigar in front of his nose and smelled it, pointing to the ruins in the distance and said: "Look at this world, what's the point of those things?"
Forman looked in the direction Tang Ji pointed, speechless, and could only plead: "At least, give me two more hours to put away the most precious things. They will always be there."
Is it commemorative? After all, mankind is not extinct yet, civilization will always be revived, and those things may be mankind’s last treasure of the past.”
"I only give you one hour." This time it was Tang Ji's turn to smile.
Rourou and I have a fever together, and I feel fine. But Rourou’s temperature doesn’t come down even after taking medicine, and I’m a little panicked.
