Riverside police

The wind got stronger and stronger, and even the barge began to shake.

Sister Zhu went to the river to enforce the law with her colleagues ten years ago. In the past, the transportation on the shore was not convenient. No matter where she went to enforce the law, she mainly used the company's transportation boat. This shake was nothing to her.

Han Xiangning not only trained on the river when she was in school, but even took the school's training boat out to sea, but she still felt nothing.

Zhang Lan was a landlubber. She couldn't even swim. She couldn't bear the shaking. She felt dizzy and felt as if she had a high fever.

I was too embarrassed to go to the Fourth Criminal Investigation Squadron just like that. I couldn't sleep when I went down, so I simply lay down on the desk in the command and dispatch room, pinched my temples, and listened to the call on the radio with Sister Zhu and Han Xiangning.

"Linghai Public Security Bureau 001 calls Dagang Tow 26. Linghai Public Security Bureau 001 calls Dagang Tow 26. Please answer when you receive it."

"Dagang 26 received it, police 001 please speak."

"Dagang 26, can you see my stern light?"

"I can see it, I just saw it!"

"Can you see my masthead?"

"The mastlight can also be seen, but the sidelights cannot be seen."

"Do you have a rudder angle indicator on your boat?"

"have."

"Is there a magnetic compass?"

"Yes, we are a new ship, a newly built full-slew port tugboat."

"Okay, now I will steer according to the command and report the situation of nearby ships at any time for your reference. We will sail in formation one hundred and twenty meters behind my starboard side."

"One hundred and twenty meters aft on the starboard side, Dagang 26 received."

"Speed ​​is three knots, left rudder is 12."

At this time, Captain Wang's voice came from the radio: "12 left!"

After waiting for about two minutes, Xiao Xianyu's voice came from the radio again: "Return to the helm!"

Although Zhang Lan felt very uncomfortable, she was still worried about her junior brother. She held her forehead and asked, "Sister Zhu, have Xianyu and Jinda received the big tugboat?"

"Received, they are piloting the big tugboat."

"How long does it take to get to the water where the accident occurred?"

Sister Zhu didn't know either, and was stunned for a moment.

Han Xiangning walked to the desk, opened the drawer and took out the calculator, rummaged through it to find a ruler, turned around and walked to the water area map to look at the proportions under the right corner, raised the ruler and measured the amount on the map, and then held the calculator and clicked Calculating in a blink of an eye.

"They were driving very slowly, with a speed of only three knots. It was impossible for Hexiang 9 to stop where it was. It would take them 45 minutes at the fastest to find Hexiang 9."

"Ning Ning, Hexiang 9 is only flooded, and the engine is not broken. Why don't you drive to the shore quickly?"

"Hexiang 9 is a sea-going ship, and it is loaded with gypsum rocks. It has a very deep draft and a pointed bottom. It can only dock at the port, not the shore casually, otherwise it will easily run aground and capsize."

Han Xiangning put down the calculator, raised the ruler and started to draw: "And it's the bow of the ship that was damaged, and water poured in from the bow. If we increase the power to sail at this time, the water will rush in at a faster speed. , will cause the compartment wall to collapse."

Zhang Lan seemed to understand and asked: "So it can't drive fast and can only go with the flow?"

Han Xiangning sat down and said: "It has left the main channel under the command of the traffic control center, but the situation is not optimistic. The bow of the ship is greatly damaged and water is constantly entering. The captain reported that the compartment walls are deformed. They are strengthening the compartment walls. , support and reinforcement measures are being taken for several adjacent warehouses adjacent to the water inlet warehouse to prevent bending and deformation under pressure."

"Can water bend the warehouse walls made of steel plates?"

"able."

This girl is a bit like a little salted fish, she talks about these things very clearly.

Zhang Lan thought for a while and asked: "What was said on the radio just now about the fully rotating tugboat? Is it different from 001?"

"Of course there is a difference, and it's a big difference."

"What's the difference?"

Han Xiangning looked at the time on his watch and explained: "001 has a rudder and a propeller, while the fully-rotating tug has a paddle but no rudder. The two propellers can rotate 360 ​​degrees. They are small in size, powerful in power, and can be operated flexibly. U-turn within a very small radius.”

Zhang Lan had never seen a big tugboat before and asked curiously: "Is it more flexible than 001?"

"Um."

"More horsepower than 001?"

"Much bigger."

"How much is a lot."

"The 001 only has 200 horsepower, and the Dagang 26 has 3,000 horsepower. There is no comparison at all."

"It's more than ten times. Is the Dagang Tuo 26 as big as ten 001s?"

"From the appearance point of view, it's not much bigger. The tonnage is only considered for freighters, while the power of tugboats is considered."

"Then the Dagang Tow 26 is more expensive than the 001."

"That's for sure, but the Dagang Tug 26 is a port tug, mainly operating in ports. The electronic equipment installed on it is not as much as that of the 001, and it is not as advanced as the 001."

Xiao Xianyu and Jin Da have already received the big tugboat. As long as Hexiang 9 can be found within an hour, the crew on Hexiang 9 can be saved. Even Hexiang 9 can be saved with the help of the big tugboat.

Sister Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to smile casually: "To use a simple analogy, a 10,000-ton cargo ship looks very big, but it transports goods. If there is a war, it will definitely not be able to defeat the navy's small patrol boat. It can be said that 001 and the full-turn Dagang Tow 26 each have their own strengths.”

…

As Han Yu expected, as the wind became stronger and stronger, the fog on the river became thinner and thinner.

Dagang Tow 26 could only see the mast light and stern light of 001 half an hour ago, but now the side lights of 001 can be seen.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, you can even vaguely see the outline of 001.

Moreover, the Dagang Tug 26 is a fully rotating tug, which is very flexible in maneuvering, so there is no need to worry about collision between two ships.

But the stronger the wind, the bigger the waves. 001 was undulating and bumping with the tide in the rough seas, and it felt like the earth was shaking.

The driver is highly stressed and consumes a lot of physical strength and energy.

Han Yu couldn't bear it, and Captain Wang couldn't bear it either. He held on to the steering wheel tightly and said, "Xianyu, sit down and rest for twenty minutes. I'll take over later."

"Okay, let's switch to another one from now on."

"Have you brought the steamed bun slices? If so, give me a few slices."

"have."

As soon as Han Yu found the steamed bun slices, Jin Da's voice came from the intercom: "Xianyu Xianyu, pay attention to the water depth detector and pay attention to the bottom of the water."

Han Yu realized that he had reached the water area where the traffic accident occurred, and without taking a rest, he hurriedly said: "Received, received."

"I have contacted Hexiang 9. Their port side has tilted nearly thirty degrees."

"What did the traffic control center say?"

"It's difficult to drag it back now. Our superiors asked us to use the water depth detector to help Hexiang 9 find a shallow beach to sit on."

This is not as simple as letting Hexiang 9 wash up on the beach, nor is it as simple as asking Dagang tow 26 to help push Hexiang 9 onto the shoal, because such a large seagoing ship cannot sit firmly even if you want to.

If you want Hexiang 9 to keep the hull straight after sitting shallowly, Dagang Tow 26 will have to play its role.

If Hexiang 9 tilts in one direction, Dagang Drag 26 will help drag it in the opposite direction.

Han Yu subconsciously looked at the computer monitor and asked: "Jinda, how deep is the draft of the Dagang Tow 26?"

"The molded depth is 4.65 meters, and the designed draft is 3.5 meters."

"Hexiang 9."

"The design draft is 6.5 meters, but it is likely to be overloaded. Now it has taken in water again. The draft is estimated to be more than 7 meters."

"Copy that, you're on the phone with them."

Just as Han Yu was staring at the computer monitor, trying to help Hexiang 9 find a shallow area of ​​water where he could sit and the water was deep enough to ensure that Dagang Tow 26 would not be stranded, Director Wang felt dizzy and his internal organs felt like they were turning over mountains. The sea has been vomited to the sky and the earth, and it is simply worse than death.

Through the conversation on the walkie-talkie, Zhu Baogen and Liang Xiaoyu knew that they were very close to the accident ship and were about to go out to work.

But if Director Wang is left alone, Director Wang will definitely be knocked down.

"Director Wang, Director Wang!"

"..."

Director Wang could vaguely hear, but was completely speechless.

Zhu Baogen had never seen someone so seasick. He asked with a grimace, "Xiaoyu, what should I do now?"

Liang Xiaoyu was not only worried that Director Wang would knock and fall, but also worried that Director Wang would climb out of the crew cabin if he suddenly wanted to breathe fresh air.

Once you climb out, it's easy to fall into the river.

"Lock the hatch?"

"It won't be breathable if it's locked. If it's not breathable, Director Wang will be even more dizzy."

Liang Xiaoyu thought about it and asked, "How about we find a rope and tie Director Wang up?"

As long as the children on the ship were young, they would come here like this.

Zhu Baogen thought this was a solution, and immediately held the hatch and walked out, found a wet hemp rope, and together with Liang Xiaoyu lifted the exhausted Director Wang to the bed like a corpse, while tying Director Wang's waist, he said : "Tie it tighter."

"I know." Liang Xiaoyu finished tying the knot, raised his head and said, "Uncle Zhu, your other end must be tied tightly as well."

"Don't worry while I do my job. Bring the bucket over and find something to block it with."

"OK."

"Director Wang, Director Wang, we are going to rescue you. The bucket is on the bedside. If you want to vomit, turn over!"

"Director Wang, don't worry, we will be back soon."

"oh……"

"We'll help you find your glasses when we get back. Let's go."

Director Wang was really speechless and forced himself to raise his arms and wave his hands.

Liang Xiaoyu tied a safety rope around his waist, grabbed the end with a live buckle, got out of the crew cabin and braved the strong wind and waves. Holding on to the guardrail of the ship's side, he walked with difficulty to the second position on the port side of 001 where the fire water gun was installed, and buckled the safety rope. On the guardrail, raise your hand toward the second-story cab.

Zhu Baogen stood firm at the second position where the fire water gun was installed on the starboard side, fastened the iron buckle on the safety rope, and was about to raise his hand to indicate that the personnel were in place, when a big wave came over and showered him from head to toe.

They were wearing firefighting suits, and the clothes underneath should not be wet.

Captain Wang turned on the broadcast switch, picked up the intercom, looked down at them and shouted: "Turn on the flashlight and observe the river surface!"

Zhu Baogen quickly wiped the water off his face, pulled out the flashlight inserted in his pocket, turned it on and looked up to the sky, then looked towards the river on the right to look for anyone who had fallen into the water.

Liang Xiaoyu poured some water into his neck, shivering from the cold, and thought he should say something.

While searching the river on the left with his flashlight, he shouted: "Uncle Zhu, why doesn't it work after Director Wang drank the water soaked in mud from the anchor chain?"

"What, I can't hear you."

"I said Director Wang drank the muddy water you soaked in, why is he still seasick!"

"He just took a few sips, and after a while he spit it out. Spitting it out means he didn't drink it, so of course it doesn't work."

It turns out it’s not that it doesn’t work, it’s mainly because Director Wang didn’t really drink it.

Liang Xiaoyu thought that if he had known that Director Wang would be seasick, he should have made Director Wang take a few anchor chain mud pills before boarding the ship, or let Director Wang drink a few bowls of water soaked in anchor chain mud.
