Cuarteron Reef.

Through the terahertz base station, Zhang Wei sent a broadcast to Huaguo ships in the South China Sea, announcing that Typhoon Whale will pass through the South China Sea from June 6 to 25, and asked all ships to take shelter from the wind.

The personnel stationed on Huayang Reef also quickly mobilized to reinforce the seawall with the remaining rock-forming agent.

Inside the "soil" type north side of the mouth, it is a safe haven.

Of course, it is not yet completed. Although some supporting facilities of the port have not been equipped, it is still possible to use it as it is.

The berths have been cleared one by one, ready for temporary berths for passing ships.

The specification of the safe haven is that it can withstand high-intensity typhoons. After all, this is a military-civilian dual-use port, and its level is naturally very high.

Gao Yuan directed the staff to check the situation of the simple facilities on the pier, at least those reinforced concrete pillars used to bind the cables must be confirmed to be usable.

25th, morning.

Typhoon Whale has passed through southern Luzon, and its outer periphery has approached Cuarteron Reef.

Gao Yuan, Zhang Wei and others are in the Typhoon Prevention Office of the Marine Department.

More than 20 ships, large and small, have moored in the port, most of which are fishing boats.

The sweltering heat before the storm, as well as the seagulls and small frigate birds circling in the port, many fishermen have been arranged in emergency shelters on the island.

Li Qing, an old fisherman from Leizhou Peninsula, was tying the cables with a few fellows.

"Huh!" Li Qing wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up at the mid-air to the east, and at this time the dark cloud appeared in his sight.

Another old man tied up the cable: "The typhoon is coming."

"Go, go inside."

"When did the public build this pier?"

"Like a month ago."

"The ground is so solid."

Li Qing pointed to the lid of the radar pot not far away, and said in a low voice, "This is a military standard, so it can't be strong!"

"That's true."

A group of people entered the emergency shelter, and many fishermen were already resting inside. Many of these people who ran into the sea were familiar with each other.

Everyone was chatting, but the dark clouds outside hadn't arrived, and the strong wind had already arrived.

Outside the safe haven, the strong winds carried huge waves, slapping the seawall fiercely, and shivering seabirds landed on the island's buildings one after another.

Human beings are still so small and fragile in front of this natural mighty force.

The wind and waves became more and more violent, and the sky was completely dark at this time.

At this time, a cruise ship was on the sea 37 kilometers away from Cuarteron Reef, and huge waves blocked the sky and hit the cruise ship.

Captain Shigetomo Mishima was sweating profusely as he swung the rudder: "Damn it!"

"Captain, we are finished." The second officer Muto Taizawa looked desperate.

Three days ago they received the international broadcast from the Dongying Meteorological Agency. The confident Shigetomo Mishima made calculations and determined that the Sapphire Princess could reach Ho Chi Minh City on the 25th.

As a result, the Sapphire Princess suffered a power failure halfway and is now being dragged in the hinterland of the South China Sea.

At this time, Typhoon Whale was already rapidly approaching the Sapphire Princess.

"Muto, see if there are any nearby islands that can take shelter from the wind, otherwise we will all..."

However, before he finished speaking, Muto Tazori denied it: "Captain, there is no island around that can provide a safe haven for the Sapphire Princess."

Mishima Shigetomo scolded angrily: "Bagaya Road, quickly find the largest island, it's better than sinking in the bottom of the sea."

"Hi!"

"Captain, it's not good."

"Another bad news"

"Our maritime communications were down and our GPS was unstable."

Mishima couldn't help but look ugly. The thick typhoon clouds in the sky have seriously affected the satellite's work.

Ships sailing in the deep sea can only rely on satellites in the sky.

Chapter 165 The Lighthouse in the Storm

Although after some searching, Muto Ozaru's expression was not good.

"Captain, to the southwest, about 20 nautical miles, is Cuarteron Reef in Huaguo."

Although he knew the location of the island, Shigetomo Mishima was not at all happy because the GPS positioning system was now jammed to the point where it was difficult to use.

Follow the navigation, it is estimated to be cold.

what to do!What to do... Shigetomo Mishima's mind went blank.

But the storm on the sea became more violent, and the heavy rain hit the windproof glass of the cabin like heavy metal drums.

The Sapphire Princess sailed with difficulty in the wind and waves, and suddenly a huge wave hit the hull, and the salty sea water poured into the cabin.

"Help!"

"Woooooooo..."

"Oh my God!"

The passengers were already at a loss, some were sobbing softly, some were desperately calling with their mobile phones, some were curled up in the corner trembling.

The sailors are also rushing to drain water. If the seawater is not discharged in time, the consequences may be very serious.

Most of the passengers who were on the phone could not get through the phone, because the satellite phone was severely interfered by the typhoon.

In addition, in order to prevent the satellite antenna of the Sapphire Princess from being broken by the strong wind, the satellite communication antenna had to be put away.

The most troublesome part of satellite communication is that the antenna must be aimed at the satellite, and it must be ensured that there is no bad rain or snow.

Now the Sapphire Princess can't release the antenna to strengthen the signal, and it just happened to encounter a typhoon.
