Chapter 40: Capsize
That afternoon, Mo Qiong was on the sea.
His boat broke through the sea surface and sailed at a speed of ten meters per second.
This was already a very restrained speed, but it was still extremely fast compared to other boats.
It was so fast that the white waves on both sides splashed more than three meters high, leaving a long track.
The whole boat was moving forward at this rapid speed. Mo Qiong blew air into the closed cabin through the modified air valve.
The gas was trapped in the cabin, pushing the boat forward, the same principle as the airbag of the flight suit.
If you want to brake, just open the air valve and let the air out.
The target of the gas is a landmark building that Mo Qiong found in the direction of the destination.
If you want to change the direction, just blow again.
Originally, Mo Qiong also tried to hang a flag in front of the boat, draw some patterns as the bull's eye, and let the air shoot.
In a vain attempt to achieve the operation of gas propelling the hull, the hull driving the flag, and the two moving forward synchronously.
You know, Mo Qiong's arrows will definitely hit, you can't dodge, but you can delay. Just escape at the same speed, or faster.
Unfortunately, this synchronization state cannot be achieved.
His arrow will not play a synchronized tug-of-war game with the landing point. If the landing point moves away by its own power, it is fine, but if it is pushed by the arrow to keep synchronization.
Then the arrow will judge that it cannot reach the target, and then ignore some rules directly.
The reason why the wall obstructs it is also because of the electromagnetic force, so the arrow directly ignores the electromagnetic force collision of all molecules in the wall, and passes through the alloy wall like a ghost, as if a quantum tunneling event has occurred.
It is really an arrow that cannot be stopped at all. If you are targeted by his arrow, unless you escape with strength or resist it, all actions that block it are sending.
The closed cabin seems to block it, but it pushes the ship forward and does not actually stop to reach the destination.
"No one around, speed up!"
Mo Qiong blew another breath, and saw the ship suddenly accelerate and sprint at a speed of 30 meters per second.
At this speed, the huge waves stirred up on both sides are close to seven meters high.
Mo Qiong hid in the upper cockpit and was not drenched.
But the noise was too loud, like a dragon going out to sea.
Along the way, whenever he saw other ships, he would immediately release the air and slow down.
When there was no one, he would speed up again.
Under normal circumstances, he would not choose to dive, because diving is troublesome.
First, he had to go to the sea to find a landing point, then get into the bottom cabin, and let the hull dive to a certain depth.
Then use a special exhaust valve to spray outward. With such a path connection, the gas in the confined space will drill out and go straight to the ground, and the water will not drill in.
Then close the exhaust valve, continue to blow air, select a target in the distance, and let the ship sneak under the sea.
The speed cannot be fast, and the sneaking speed can only be maintained at a maximum of five meters per second.
Otherwise, there is no need to hit anything, the impact of the water alone is enough to smash his boat.
Therefore, in order to accelerate for a long time, Mo Qiong's route is not along the shortest route, but deliberately takes a long way.
First go around the high seas, then go all the way south, and finally go back to the northeastern waters of the Philippines.
…
At night, Mo Qiong released the air and turned on the boat's own engine, allowing it to maintain normal navigation in the expected direction.
If you rush during the day, you don't have to rush at night. You still have to sleep.
He didn't dare to use this non-mainstream way to sail when he was asleep, and even kept the cabin ventilated to prevent his breathing from rushing into the boat in his sleep.
Mo Qiong was sleeping soundly. In the early morning, a three-story large yacht passed by his expected route.
"Bang!"
The large yacht hit the side of Mo Qiong's small boat. Mo Qiong's small boat was vulnerable in front of this big ship.
Under this collision, Mo Qiong's boat suddenly twisted its deck, the bottom cabin leaked, and several metal plates broke and flew.
Mo Qiong was shaken by the huge movement, and rolled several times in the cabin and hit the wall.
"Fuck..."
Mo Qiong woke up immediately, watching a large amount of seawater pouring in from the broken side, and hurriedly hugged several key instruments and packed them in waterproof bags.
At this time, the water was pouring in more and more, and the whole ship was sinking rapidly.
Most people would be so scared that they would crawl out of the cabin and escape first, otherwise they would be dragged to the bottom of the sea and die no matter how good they are at swimming.
But Mo Qiong was not afraid. He was busy packing up the expensive instruments.
It was okay if the boat broke down. He could still drive it. But the instruments were no good, especially the air compressor, which could easily pressurize air into his oxygen tube. Without it, he could basically only dive for an hour.
And GPS. Without these, how could he receive positioning?
"Hey! Is there anyone on this boat?" Mo Qiong suddenly heard a woman shouting outside.
Then another man's voice said, "No one has come out for so long. Maybe it's an empty ship. It was a ship that drifted away and was blown here by the wind."
"Nonsense, how can a ship not sink after being blown to the Pacific Ocean by wind and waves?" someone else said.
"Who would use such a small boat to drive here?"
"Some extreme sports people can drive a sailboat across the Pacific Ocean."
There were eight people lying on the deck of the big ship, both men and women.
They had stopped the boat, but it was still drifting, and they could only watch the boat being hit get farther and farther away from them.
They shone the light, eager to see if anyone had escaped from the sinking boat.
The boat was about to sink, and if there was anyone, it would be too late if they didn't get out.
Crash.
Suddenly, Mo Qiong climbed out of the boat, holding a large bag of things on his shoulder in one hand.
He immediately looked at the big ship not far away and knew what was going on.
"Tsk, this can also hit?"
Mo Qiong was speechless. In the Pacific Ocean, Mo Qiong had not encountered a ship for a long time. Although there are waterways passing here, the sea is vast and it takes a huge fate to meet.
He was the only one in this small boat. He was still sleeping until he was hit, so it was inevitable.
But this big ship, is there no one patrolling at night...
"Hey! Swim away! We are here to save you!" Someone on the boat shouted.
Everyone on the big ship was scared. Mo Qiong stood on the bow of the ship that had sunk more than half, and he didn't swim away or call for help. He just stood there and didn't know what he was thinking.
Mo Qiong shouted: "I'm fine, you go first, don't save me."
"What did you say?" Everyone was stunned and wondered if they had heard it wrong.
This was a collision with a ship, not a collision with a bicycle.
In this vast ocean, if the boat sank, it would be fatal. How could we not rescue it?
Mo Qiong sighed. Actually, it didn't matter if his boat was damaged. He could still salvage it.
He said that because he hoped that these people were very ruthless and left him here so that he could salvage the boat quietly.
But obviously this was nonsense. These people would not be so ruthless.
So he quickly changed his words and said, "I said, I'm fine. Please save me!"
"Oh oh!" Everyone immediately threw down the rubber boat. Two men put on life jackets and paddled towards Mo Qiong in the rubber boat.
At this moment, the boat under Mo Qiong's feet had completely sunk, and the whole person was treading water leisurely.
"Huh? It's windy..." Mo Qiong felt the wind getting stronger and stronger. He hurriedly looked behind him and saw dark clouds in the distance.
"Hey! Don't come down." Mo Qiong shouted, pointing to the storm in the distance.
"Fuck, hurry up, go save people!" The two young men not only did not go back, but also wanted to save Mo Qiong before the big wind and waves came.
However, the storm seemed to be far away, but when the wind came first, the waves became more and more turbulent.
The wind blew, and the rubber boat not only did not get close to Mo Qiong, but drifted farther and farther.
"Where are you paddling!" a young man shouted.
"It's not me, it's the waves that are too big!"
The rubber boat was shaking, and the two young men were a little panicked.
They paddled one meter, and the waves blew away three meters. A wave came and water came in, and they hurriedly took a spoon to drain the water out.
"Quick! Follow them!" The people on the boat said hurriedly.
Even experienced sailors cannot paddle rubber boats in strong winds and waves. If they really drift away, the boat can only follow them and wait until the waves are small to rescue them.
"Then what should we do about this?" Someone pointed at Mo Qiong and said.
They can only follow one.
Mo Qiong was stunned and smiled: "Follow them quickly, don't worry about me."
"Fuck..." Everyone on the boat was frightened by Mo Qiong's optimism. Is this really reckless?
The storm is behind them, such a big wave, stepping in the water without panic?
"You're crazy! Come here quickly, we'll save you first." The people on the boat shouted.
Mo Qiong secretly wanted to let people abandon him, but this was indeed asking too much.
He turned his head to look at the approaching storm. If the storm came, the two people would be in danger.
He suddenly dived down and disappeared on the sea.
The people on the boat couldn't see him, so they panicked and turned on the lights to look everywhere.
"Where are the people?"
"Drowned?"
After a while, someone under the boat shouted, "Here!"
"Hey? You swam over? Come on! Come up!" The people on the boat hurriedly handed over the rope ladder.
Mo Qiong shook his head and said, "Pull my things up, I'll go find your friends."
"What?"
Mo Qiong tied the bag in his hand to the rope, then sank and disappeared on the sea again.
At this time, the rubber boat had drifted hundreds of meters away.
But Mo Qiong emerged from the water to determine the direction, and then sank down and rushed forward.
After only seven or eight ups and downs, he caught up with the rubber boat.
"Pah!"
The two young men were still rowing back frantically when they saw a hand suddenly reach out and grab the edge of the rubber boat.
"Don't panic, the storm is still far away, row quickly." Mo Qiong said with his head out of the water.
Mo Qiong pushed the rubber boat, and the rubber boat immediately approached the big ship at a very slow speed. The speed was so slow that it was not noticeable at all, but it effectively ensured that the rubber boat would no longer be far away from the big ship.
The two young men looked at Mo Qiong dumbfounded. They came down to save Mo Qiong.
They didn't expect Mo Qiong to be so good at swimming that he didn't hurry up to get on the big ship and come to help them.
"Come on!" said the young man.
Mo Qiong shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not cold."
