Super electric eel clone

Chapter 172 Extreme Fear
10 minutes later, inside the cabin!

The captain, Anna Maruyama, was stepped on the ground by a group of masked men holding AKs, and put the barrel of the gun against her head.

"Praise God!" A black man in a brown trench coat stepped forward and kicked Maruyama Anna's arm with his toes, speaking in English with a tongue tied: "In order to reduce your pain as soon as possible, I hope you will put your Call me from your boss or your family."

"Otherwise—we will be so cruel that the devils will tremble!"

"Why~why, why didn't you hijack the first five oil tankers?" Maruyama Anna was full of resentment: "The first five oil tankers are worth at least [-] million U.S. dollars!"

"Because those five oil tankers are so handsome!" The black man in the brown windbreaker showed his teeth that could be used for toothpaste advertisements, and smiled sinisterly: "There is no charge for this question, and every time you ask a question, you will get an additional one hundred thousand dollars." cost."

"Captain, you said that our boss is a bully. He can open up relationships with Somali pirates, and he can sail safely with only a little protection fee!" In the cabin of the last tanker, a young man with engine oil on his face , grinning and approaching Captain Chen Qing.

"You boy, come to smoke again!" Chen Qing took out two cigarettes from his pocket, handed him one, lit one himself, took a deep breath and exhaled a thick smoke ring: "Yes, Damn, the first time I saw the pirates, I almost didn't scare me to death, but those turtle eggs ran away by themselves. This time it's good, a little Japanese fell into their hands, it's so cool !"

Yao Yuan smoked a cigarette happily, and said intoxicatedly, "Is our boss dating the daughter of a Somali pirate? That's why the pirates take care of us like this?"

"Your thinking is so high that you can write novels!" Chen Qing slapped him on the back, coughing and choking: "Get out of here and go to work, if something goes wrong with the engine wheel, I'll send you Cut the eggs!"

Chen Qing estimated that he also has some kind of potential to become a magic stick...

When the ship sailed to the waters of Djibouti, the [-]-ton oil tanker suddenly trembled violently, as if an invisible big hand was grabbing the hull and shaking it continuously, and the power unit at the tail was making several noises After the deafening roar, it fell into the protection state with a "bang" and stopped working.

Generally, oil tankers use steam engines as power plants. The reason is that the oil must be heated before it can be pumped into the tanker. They are kept heated throughout the transportation process, so that they can be quickly unloaded at the destination. .Therefore the driven steam engine can also be used to provide steam for heating crude oil.Of course, technology has been improving. Today’s tanker steam engines are no longer the antiques of a hundred years ago. Not only the steam utilization rate is ridiculously high, but even the operation method is fully automated. When the power transmission system fails, it will automatically enter Protected state to prevent the explosion chamber, and the air valve will also discharge excess steam when necessary.

"Wheelbox, what the hell is going on?" Chen Qing shouted anxiously while grabbing the microphone.

"Captain, our propeller seems to be entangled by something!" Yao Yuan was sweating anxiously on his forehead. The tanker is not a speedboat. Once the propeller is entangled, the only way to go is to be dragged to the dock to clear it. Nearby are all those poor African countries where even mice get in and run out with snot and tears. There is no such large dock at all.

"Hey, Chen Qing, what happened to your boat, why did it stop suddenly?"

Several tankers in front of him noticed his situation and hurriedly used the radio to inquire about the situation.

"It seems that the propeller is entangled, you stop first, I'll go to the wheel well to check the situation!" Chen Qing threw away the microphone, kicked up his feet and ran into the wheel well.

When Chen Qing ran to the wheel room out of breath, several staff members who stayed inside immediately came up with frowning faces, explaining the situation one by one.

"Reduce the steam output, and turn it in the opposite direction at a low speed?" Chen Qing's face was covered with bean-sized beads of sweat, not from heat, but from anxiety.

"Yes!" Yao Yuan on the side slowly pushed the operating lever, allowing the clutch gear to bite the transmission shaft.

"Ga, bang, bang!" The entire transmission system roared violently again, with a power output of up to [-] horsepower, which made the gnashing gears almost overwhelmed and collapsed.

"Crack!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Yao Yuan quickly slapped the control lever, cutting off the transmission gear. "Captain, what should we do?" He was crying, his expression was uglier than if his wife had run away with someone.

Chen Qing seemed to have never heard of it, and he was still squatting there, smoking a cigarette.Judging from the sound heard, the propeller should be stuck very dead. Is there any room for movement? It is still unclear how the propeller was entangled. It may be fishing nets, anchor chains, debris, or seaweed. .

Logically speaking, the possibility of the propeller of a large ship being entangled is very small, because under the powerful drive system, some floating objects or fishing nets will only be torn off by the powerful propeller, unless it is unlucky to be involved in the drive shaft.

About half an hour later, employees from several other oil tankers also rushed over on rubber rafts, discussing what to do.

"Why don't you wear a diving suit and go down to check the situation?" The chief engineer of oil tanker No. [-] touched his nose: "If it's just debris stuck in the drive shaft, let's see if we can pull it out with a rope?"

"If that's the case, I'm afraid there will be residues in it, and I will have to go to the dock to remove the sealing shell and clean it up." Fei Ning, the captain of the No. [-] oil tanker, shook his head: "If it was debris, it would have been twisted into mud by the drive shaft long ago. It's inside, now I can only pray for something like an anchor chain!"

"Then Xiao Zhang, put on your oxygen tank and dive down to see what's going on!" Chen Qing said in a deep voice, smoking a lot of cigarette butts.

"Good captain!" The person called Xiao Zhang agreed straightforwardly, then put on the simple diving equipment, and took a rubber boat to the tail of the cruise ship.

A good news, a bad news!

Good news: It's not like some debris got screwed into the drive shaft!

Bad news: It turned out to be a buoy that came from nowhere. The connecting chain at the bottom was broken, and then it was swept here by the waves and entangled with the propeller, and it was so entangled that it had to be cleaned in a large dock.

This is a dilapidated direction visual buoy. I don’t know if it was set up by the poor country nearby. The exterior paint has all peeled off, and it is used to fix a chain like an anchor in the sea; Iron chains wrapped around the propeller like an octopus.After observing for a long time, Xiao Zhang could only shake his head and climb onto the rubber boat.

Tell everyone about this situation, and everyone is silent for a long time.

"It's fine if you're poor and don't even want to touch rats, but why does the mother insist on spreading a few packs of 'rat poison' at home?" Chen Qing angrily kicked on the iron pillar beside him.

"Fortunately, we are running empty. Now we can only use steel cables to connect the boats together, then drag them away from the main channel, and then ask the boss which country to solve the problem." Fei Ning patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "As long as It’s not enough to be entangled in the drive shaft, driving a boat is like driving a car, how many people have not encountered a punctured tire?”

The situation has been like this, and the captains had no better solution, so they had to put the [-]-ton oil tanker together head-to-head, and dozens of people worked hard for a long time before double anchoring the bows of the two ships. Secure with cables.

When Chen Fan received the call, he was sitting leisurely on the sofa, playing with Xiaoxue while watching TV.

"Is there any country written on my date and buoy?"

When Chen Fan heard this, he almost threw Xiaoxue to the ground out of breath. At least he knew a little about ships. The propeller was entangled to death. In most cases, the only way to go into the dock was the only way to go, but this plus driving back and forth For the time wasted, there is absolutely no way to get it done without ten days.

"There is no boss, the top is already rusted and almost perforated, and the propeller has not been broken in half. It is impossible to tell which country the accident happened to." Captain Chen Qing said in a depressed tone.

"Wait for a while, let me think about it carefully!"

Putting the phone aside, Chen Fan pinched the bridge of his nose and fell into deep thought. There were two roads in front of him. One was to let the tanker drag the tanker to the large Saudi shipyard for cleaning, and the other was to control the electric eel to flee to the waters of Djibouti. The chain wrapped around it was torn off.

It only takes one and a half days for the electric eel to rush there, but it will take more than ten days to go to the shipyard. At that time, the position of the oil tanker terminal on the Saudi side will also be ruined.

"Tell me your specific coordinates. You stay there. I will contact a Saudi Arabian marine operation company and ask them to send frogmen to cut off the chain with underwater cutting equipment." Chen Fan thought of a more reasonable explanation.

"The real boss?" Chen Qing was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect the boss to have any clues about this. You must know that generally this type of marine operation company has the shadow of the government more or less in it, and it has nothing to do with it. You A foreigner is guaranteed to be blinded in both eyes.

"Can you fix the propeller?" Chen Fan said with a twitching corner of his mouth.

After remembering the detailed coordinates, Chen Fan turned on the computer and used the Google satellite map to find the local bird's-eye view photos. Without delay, he controlled the electric eel and ran wherever it went.

Djibouti is located on the west coast of the Gulf of Aden, just at the point where the Red Sea enters the Indian Ocean. As one of the least developed countries in the world, it used to be the same as many "companions"; it used to be a French colony, and neighboring Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and other territories have occurred Conflict is a typical doormat. It was not until [-], after the success of the struggle for independence, that peace was barely restored.

The five oil tankers are now moored in the Gulf of Djibouti; ten kilometers to the south.The widest part of this strait is only 900 kilometers, and [-] kilometers to the west is a typical inland sea. The north and south straits are only more than [-] meters wide. Freighters from the Gulf and the Red Sea will go there to take shelter.

The electric eel chased the stars and the moon all the way, braved the wind and waves, and endured for a day and a half. At three o'clock in the morning local time, it rushed to the vicinity of the five oil tankers.

If a ship from Saudi Arabia sets off here, it is completely reasonable in terms of time. After all, it is very close to Saudi Arabia, only a few hundred nautical miles.

Holding a murderous spear, the electric eel quietly swam to the ship when the night was dark and the wind was high; under the tanker whose propeller was entangled by the chain, carefully scrutinized how to remove the chain.

This rusty chain is so thick that it is not too thick, but it is surprisingly long. It wraps the propeller and rudder more than a dozen times. The complicated way of winding is impossible unless it is disassembled violently. There are ways to go.

The chain is as thick as a child's wrist. The electric eel grabbed one of the chains with its right front paw, and pressed the house-sized propeller with its left front paw. Terrifying brute force tore it apart abruptly.

Following the drawing of a gourd, after tearing off six chains in a row, the main entanglement chain was lost, and was easily unwound from the propeller by the electric eel and thrown into the sea.

After a few rounds of uneasy observation, Chen Fan made sure that there were no other entanglements, so he turned his mind back and dialed the maritime satellite phone over there.

The bang of the chain was so pitiful that no one on the entire tanker noticed it.

"Hey, boss, is someone from the Marine Operations Company here?" Chen Qing, who received his call in the middle of the night, jumped up from the sofa, speaking in a hurry like a Gatling machine gun with the trigger tightly pulled.

"Strictly speaking, it's not that they have arrived, but that they have left!"

"What, what? Boss, I don't understand what you mean!" Chen Qing was completely confused. How could this person leave before he arrived?
"What I mean is; the people from the marine operation company have cut the chain for you, and now they have returned to Saudi Arabia."

"Ah!" Chen Qing's mouth was so big that he could stuff his fist into it: "Boss, why didn't we notice any movement of a ship approaching?"

"Then I have to ask if you are just hiding, otherwise why no one has noticed that there is a ship approaching?" Chen Fan said in a serious tone, "If there are pirates approaching, why don't you finish the game right away?" , you don’t even know why you were kidnapped?”

"No, no, boss, we have five people on duty in turn!" Chen Qing still can't believe that the problem has been solved. This is really unexpected, and he cut off the chain without even saying hello?

"Boss, you...you...won't you find a liar company?"

"Fart, hurry up and ask someone to start the engine wheel set to see if the boat can be used. I'm still waiting for the inspection results to send money to others!"

Undoubtedly, when Chen Qing yelled and woke up the wheel crew, he was overwhelmed with great joy not long after. The rhythmic roar of the power system was so pleasing to the ear.

After confirming that everything in the ship's power system was normal, Chen Fan let out six or seven breaths, and quickly controlled the electric eel to find a hidden resting place.

The sea area here is about 300 meters deep, and the seabed is all flat sandy land. The electric eel has been swimming eight kilometers north, and when it was two kilometers away from the coast of Djibouti, it found a huge coral clump, and the electric eel drilled into it. In the middle of the day, I just fell asleep.

When 100 meters away from the coral clump, the electric eel released a burst of voltage up to [-] volts from its body to explore the environment in the coral clump.

"what!"

It's hard to describe Chen Fan's mood at the moment, I just feel an extremely strong sense of fear, rising from the tail of the electric eel, and then drilling into his mind like lightning, his heart sinking to freezing point.

then……

In one-tenth of a second, the electric eel didn't even have time to take care of the spear, and when its body was bent at [-] degrees and fled back, it had already been thrown away...

In order to reduce the overall weight of the electric eel, so as to gain the precious time of a few tenths of a second.
