Zhao Changqi's judgment was not wrong at all, and the "Queen" did hit the rocks!

Because the waves just now were too big, the first mate of the steering was always following Zhao Changqi's instructions to keep the bow facing the direction of the wind and waves so that the ship could obtain the maximum stability. However, in this way, the course was irrelevant, and even more so, no matter whether it was hit or not.\|Top\|Document\|Small\|Say\|2|3|u|s|s|c|c|c|

In fact, even the first mate at the helm wanted to avoid the reefs. He was not familiar with this sea area at all, and he didn't even know where there were reefs, so how to avoid them.

So, the "Queen" finally hit the reef, and the huge impact force tore a big hole in the original cabin that was loading anti-aircraft guns. Before the drainage system could work, the sea water quickly filled the entire cabin, causing the hull to tilt for more than twenty degrees at once.

Fortunately, when the Queen crashed into the reef accident, the hurricane had stopped and the waves were much smaller. If the cargo ship hit the reef while the waves were surging, the huge force might cause the entire cabin of the Queen to be scrapped, and eventually the Queen no longer exists.

After learning about the incident, Zhao Changqi immediately took the water-tight valve of the water-filling cabin with the doctor of the Sum to completely isolate the already-filled cabin from other cabins, preventing other cabins from entering the water as well.

In the ocean, after the hull is tilted, there are usually three ways to correct the tilted hull:

First, transplant the cargo on the ship. Transfer the cargo on the side of the waterline to the other side, so that the ship can regain balance. Because the hull is too tilted at this time, and the things on the "Queen" are all big guys, which is inconvenient to move, so it is impossible to regain balance by transplanting the cargo.

The second method is to discharge fuel and fresh water from the tilted side to restore balance. This method is the best way to sail in the inland river, because the ship can only dock quickly and replenish the lost things. But for the "Queen" at this time, this method obviously does not work.

They are now in the vast Pacific Ocean. Without fuel, the ship loses power and has nowhere to replenish. Without Tamsui, they cannot survive. International rescue and other things are even more unthinkable. They can't even think about it. Country M can't find him!

The third method is to inject water into a symmetrical ballast tank on the opposite side of the tilt. This method is also very dangerous to the current "Queen". Because this method is used at the cost of losing the storage buoyancy of the cargo ship. To use this method, it is necessary to go through precise calculations to prevent the cargo ship from not having enough buoyancy after the ballast tank is filled with water and eventually sinking.

Although this method is dangerous, it is already the only feasible method.

Zhao Changqi handed over the task of physical computing to the first mate, who was busy in front of the computer.

The backbone members of the Poison Dragon Society were always waiting for, and looking at the busy first mate, their hearts became unconsciously nervous. They seemed to be able to hear the thumping sound of their hearts. The level of tension was even stronger than when facing the waves before facing the invincible enemy!

They felt that the first mate's hands were not typing on the keyboard at all, but typing on their hearts every time, and the tick sound had already coincided with their heartbeat!

These people have all come from life and death. Everyone has a big heart, and it is not the first time they face death. However, their fear is stronger than ever before!

It seemed as if the first lieutenant suddenly became the magistrate in the court, and they suddenly became prisoners waiting for the verdict! Even they themselves didn't know why they felt this way at this moment. It took a long time before they remembered a sentence, waiting and unknown are the root of fear.

Just as everyone felt their hearts gradually expand and their beating faster and faster, the first mate finally stood up from his seat and said to Zhao Changqi with a serious face: "Captain, theoretically, we can correct the hull by filling the ballast tank with water, but after the correction, the waterline of the ship will be very low, and the calculated value is less than one meter. If we encounter greater storms again, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhao Changqi did not say a word of nonsense, nor did he think about what the distance between the waterline and the freeboard meant less than one meter. He just waved his hand and said, "Immediately pour water into the ballast tank on the left! Until the hull is balanced!"

Zhao Changqi actually had no choice. Even if the success rate of this plan was only one percent, he had to try it!

As the ballast tank continued to inject sea water, the inclined hull finally gradually turned right. The situation was better than the theoretical value of the first mate. Although the waterline of the freighter dropped by a large piece, the distance between the freeboard was about one meter and two meters from the water surface. Although there were still waves constantly slapping on the deck, the freighter finally got balanced again.

After the cargo ship is balanced, drainage and repairing damaged cabins have become an urgent task for everyone. The vast Pacific Ocean is not an inland river, so you can't expect to wait for the ship to dock before repairing it safely. Do you know when will the Pacific Ocean be gushed again? As for the current situation of the "Queen", let alone the hurricanes of the level just now, even if they are ordinary sea typhoons, they can knock it to the bottom of the sea. Taking a step back, even in the future, they will not encounter any storms, and the "Queen" state cannot support the Pique Kingdom.

The hull's rebalancing was restored to gain time for repairing the damaged cabin. Zhao Changgui slowed down the "Queen" again, slowly bypassing the "Gate of Hell", and at the same time, he changed into a diving suit and planned to go into the water to repair the cabin himself.

Since the water breaking tank is filled with sea water, once opened, the huge water pressure will immediately flood the other cabins, so the damage must be temporarily blocked from outside.

Zhao Changqi did not hand over this job to others, but decided to do it himself. If it was in ordinary sea areas, the work was not very dangerous and not very difficult. There was a backup latest leak plug package on the ship, which was very simple and fast. But now the freighter is in the most dangerous waters in the entire Pacific Ocean. What people know what happens when people enter the sea water, so Zhao Changqi decided to complete the leak plugging task himself.

Zhao Changqi changed into a diving suit, carried an oxygen cylinder, and then jumped into the sea under the gaze of everyone. A splash of water appeared on the water surface, and Zhao Changqi disappeared.

President Zhao Yushan, doctors, workers, farmers, Hong Yalun, and even the people from the Hua Oil delegation, almost all the people who didn't have to be on duty stood on the deck, waiting for news from Gun Brother.

Everyone didn't speak, just looked at the water rippling with the waves in silence.

The night was already deep, and the sky was still covered with dark clouds, pitch black, without the moon, and no starlight was seen. Only the searchlight on the freighter shone with light, trying to disperse the darkness. However, in the end, the light of the searchlight not only did not dispel the darkness, but was gradually swallowed up by the boundless darkness, but reflected lonely highlights on the sea.

No one spoke quietly on the deck, and even the sea breeze stopped strangely. The sea level, which was originally surging, was calm like a dark mirror. In the mirror, it was dark. It seemed that what everyone saw was not the vast Pacific Ocean, but a dead deep pool.

Everyone felt uneasy inexplicably in their hearts, as if their boss Zhao Changqiu had just jumped into the Pacific Ocean in front of him, but the real gate of hell!

Zhao Yushan felt a little confused. He wanted to smoke a cigarette to adjust his emotions. He rubbed his right hand in his pocket for a long time before taking out a cigarette box that was already soaked by sea water. When he opened the cigarette box, he saw that the seven Hongtashan inside had been stuck into one and could not even be able to handle it.

"Fuck! Damn." Zhao Yushan threw the cigarette box into the sea water in front of him with some annoyance.

Zhao Yushan's sudden sound broke the silence of everyone. Everyone turned their heads to look at him, and then turned their eyes to the cigarette box thrown on the sea. The cigarette box floated on the sea, turned for a while, and then gradually sank into the sometimes bright and sometimes dark sea water, and finally disappeared.

The nerves were as scattered as Zhao Yushan felt the strange atmosphere. He grabbed the wet hair with his hands, and his body shivered unnaturally!

This season, the nights in the northern Pacific are still very cold.

As everyone was waiting silently, time disappeared minute by minute. Half an hour passed, and Zhao Changgui still did not emerge from the water.

The leak plug package equipped on the "Queen" is the latest leak plug package. The canvas bag contains two glass bottles, and the glass bottle contains two different chemical substances. When plugging the leak, break the two glass bottles in the bag. The two chemical substances inside will produce chemical reactions and quickly solidify the sealing of the rupture. The operation is simple and fast, the leak plugging is firm, and it is not limited by the shape of the breaking. The leak plugging effect is also very good, and it can seal the hatch 100%. If it is not a long-distance sailing, you can completely insist on the normal parking of the port before repairing it normally.

Logically, it will not take long for Zhao Changqi to plug the leak by using this kind of leak plug and plug it, and he should be able to return to the ship soon. But why haven’t he come back yet?

Everyone felt that the slightest uneasiness in their hearts was getting stronger and stronger. But everyone was unwilling to express their inner worries, for fear that their words would come true and bring bad luck to Gun Brother.

In the end, Zhao Yushan broke the silence. He turned his head and said to the boss beside him: "Why haven't Brother Gun come back yet? Nothing will happen, right?"

He stroked his bald head hard, frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Brother Gun has received special diving training and has a lot of experience in navigation. What can he do? Maybe it's because the breaking is too difficult to block, right?"

After saying that, he got up and walked towards the cabin.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Yushan asked as he looked at Mr. Bar's back.

"Look for a diving wetsuit and go down and take a look." President Bar said without looking back. Although Brother Gun had already told them not to go into the water, President Bao no longer cared about Brother Gun's orders at this time.

"I'll go too!" Zhao Yushan also ran to the cabin.

At this moment, the doctor on the side suddenly shouted: "Look! The sea water seems to be not right!"

Everyone also noticed the changes in the sea water. They saw that the originally quiet and strange sea water suddenly surged like a fountain, and the surge became larger and larger. In the end, it rolled up quickly as if it had been opened. Under the light, everyone seemed to see a trace of white air coming out of the rolling sea water, as if the sea water was really boiling!
