Chapter 254: Mountain Climbing (4) - The Mountain Comes to Me(1/2)
The picture jumped and Ye Zhou found that he was on the deck of a large ship.
The information flow was slowly injected, and he began to understand his current situation.
This cargo ship is actually not a cargo ship, but an ocean-going fishing boat. It is now sailing near the Aleutian Islands 30 degrees north latitude. The reason why I boarded this fishing boat was not to fish, but to get out of the net.
This was in 2009. At this time, I had been studying in Chou Kingdom for more than ten years. After completing a large number of basic theoretical research on quantum computing, the Chou Kingdom government indeed began to restrict itself from returning to China as he expected.
On the one hand, airlines refused to sell air tickets, their passports were blacklisted, and customs prohibited themselves from passing;
On the other hand, the official of the Ugly Kingdom provided itself with the best treatment and the richest economic returns, just to keep itself in the Ugly Kingdom.
However, he couldn't keep it anymore.
Because, just a year ago, he made a major breakthrough in the research and development of topological special quantum computer theory and is about to enter the application stage.
Once this technology is developed and mature, all confidential information based on the RSA encryption system will be completely invalid. That is to say, the strategic intelligence of any country will be presented to the technology holders in the eyes of the technology holders in a plain text.
If you have not returned to China before the application results appear, then this technology will never be possible.
You have to leave, no matter what method you use.
So, he used the cash he had quietly saved under the bed over the years to bribe the captain of the ocean fishing boat and asked him to take himself to the high seas near the Kuril Islands, where someone would come to pick him up.
Now, there is still a 20-hour voyage to his final destination.
Looking at the lead clouds gradually lowering in the distance, Ye Zhou looked worried.
He knew that this was a sign that the wind was about to rise at sea, and once wind and waves were encountered, this fishing boat with not too large tonnage would face severe tests.
"Ye, are you worried about the wind and waves? Don't worry, we will cross the wind and waves."
A white man patted his shoulder behind him and handed him a cigar.
Ye Zhou looked back and saw that the person coming was the first mate on the boat. He had already bought him completely with cash and cigars. Now, he is one of the most loyal people on the boat.
Ye Zhou took the cigar and said with some emotion:
"I'm not worried about the wind and waves. Along the way, we've experienced a lot of wind and waves. What I'm worried about is bigger wind and waves."
"Don't worry, the wind and waves will come, but we will also walk--even the huge waves 20 meters high, we have crossed them."
Listening to the first mate's words, Ye Zhou nodded slightly.
The dim sun in the distance had already dropped under the lead clouds and was about to sink to the bottom of the sea.
The sea surface showed a deep black like deadness. The waves were occasionally smashed by the bow of the ship and splashed out a bright blue and white color.
Under this bright color, Ye Zhou saw a more dangerous tranquility.
The wind is blowing.
When the first sea breeze with water vapor came from a distance and rushed towards Ye Zhou and rolled up his hair on his forehead, he realized that the storm of the day would definitely not be small.
Everyone on the ship had already taken action, and the captain yelled and directed the crew to inject the bay water, lower the engine speed, and turn on the spare engine to provide additional torque for the steering rudder.
Everything on the deck was tied up urgently, and Ye Zhou was pulled into the cockpit and stared nervously at the gradually rising sea waves ahead.
Black clouds sway the city.
On this night, the highest wave recorded near the Aleutian Islands was as high as 16 meters.
The first wave of shock came soon. The captain looked directly at the huge waves pressing towards the bow of the ship, and roared and asked Ye Zhou to grab the operating table.
"Hurry up! Come on!"
Ye Zhou's muscles suddenly tightened, and then the bow of the boat suddenly raised.
His body was thrown away by huge force, and when he fell, his chin almost hit the operating table.
Ye Zhou got up with difficulty and looked through the observation window at the bow of the boat. He was surprised to find that what he saw was not the face, but the sky.
The next second, the fishing boat crossed the top of the waves.
The bow of the ship suddenly fell. This time, Ye Zhou had experience. He pressed his hands and feet against the operating table tightly, resisting the amazing speed generated during the fall.
Bang!
The bow of the ship hit the sea hard, and white waves more than ten meters high splashed, rushing towards the observation window like a heavy rain.
Ye Zhou was about to breathe, but found that there were higher waves in front of the ship.
"Can we... break down?"
"Hmph, break down?"
A sneer appeared on the captain's face, and then he continued to answer:
"If it's just a small storm, there's no problem with breaking down, but if you break down under such storm, then you're just looking for death!"
"We can only step over to the waves. Even if the hull is only slightly offset, it may be knocked over by the waves!"
"Ye, find a place to stand and protect yourself!"
Ye Zhou was about to nod when the second wave had already hit.
He grabbed the handrail desperately, while the captain turned the rudder desperately.
During this span, the direction of the bow can no longer be perpendicular to the waves--maybe it only shifted less than 10 degrees, but this 10-degree offset caused the rudder angle to tilt by more than 20 degrees!
The waves were repeated, and the captain struggled to maintain his standing posture. The bow of the boat had completely deviated. He increased his speed desperately, trying to straighten the bow before the next wave arrived.
However, it's too late.
In this wave, the hull was inclined to 40 degrees, and a lot of water was inflowed on the deck, and even the engine room was asking for help.
"Ye! Come and help us find the first mate! The backup engine is broken, and the torque of the rudder is decreasing!"
Ye Zhou looked at the captain out in horror, then looked at the waves outside the window.
In an instant, he suddenly had some enlightenment.
This is a mountain.
This is a mountain standing on the sea.
The captain was driving the fishing boat and was taking him to climb the mountain.
Only by crossing these waves of mountains can he return to his hometown.
Now is the time to make a decision.
If you follow the captain's words to find the first mate, it will be almost impossible to reverse the direction of the bow before the next wave hits.
The waves will attack the fishing boat at a 45-degree angle and then completely overturn it with a thousand force!
Only rely on yourself.
In an instant, Ye Zhou activated thinking programming, activated his courage and talent, and his physical fitness suddenly improved!
He rushed to the captain with a quick step, and regardless of his objection, he held the steering rudder with him in everything, then fell down and turned the rudder desperately!
The bow of the boat slowly turns, gradually increasing the angle with the wave head to more than 60 degrees.
The waves hit the face, just like a mountain pressing down.
The fishing boat had an inclination angle of almost 50 degrees, but in the end, it struggled to cross the wave peak.
The angle continued to increase. Under Ye Zhou's squeezing at any cost, he and the captain used their own physical strength to make up for the decrease in the rudder torque caused by the failure of the backup engine!
Another mountain.
This time, the fishing boat rushed straight towards the mountain, and then crossed the wave peak in a very sensational manner and fell on the sea behind!
...
After a long time, the storm gradually subsided.
The observation window in front of Ye Zhou was covered with cracks caused by the huge impact of the waves. His hands were swollen and his face was pale, and the captain next to him was not much better than him.
The first mate who rushed in looked at the situation of the two, and his originally anxious expression finally relaxed.
"There is a problem with the turbine room, I've been there..."
"It's okay, we've stepped over."
Ye Zhou waved his hand and interrupted him.
The captain looked at Ye Zhou, nodded slightly, and said in praise:
"Ye, you are a very brave person. I think you will have a broader future after you return to your country."
Ye Zhou smiled without answering.
He stood up and walked onto the deck, looking out at the moon, quietly rising in the distance.
The bright moonlight poured on the calm sea, and the rippling light flashed, calming his aroused mood.
He took a deep breath of the wet sea breeze and quietly imagined how he would connect with the country after arriving at the Kuril Islands.
Maybe it's a freighter? Maybe it's a warship? Or, it's a helicopter?
He prefers helicopters because he has never been on board yet.
However, before such thoughts drifted away, his eyes noticed something strange on the sea.
