They obviously took this issue seriously, and the chief mate and the chief inspector even went to investigate in person.

Qili was waiting for the results of their investigation on the deck. The sea breeze was blowing and it was very cool.

It was almost noon when the chief mate and the chief inspector had completed their investigation.

The first mate said to Qili, "We have checked and found no safety hazards. Everything is normal. The tilt may be due to some deviations in the keel during construction, but the problem is not major. The Prometheus is on track. There will be no problems if you sail steadily on this vast ocean.”

Qili said uneasily, "This is no joke. There are more than 3,000 lives on board. Once this giant ship sinks, the price will be heavy."

The first mate didn't take it seriously, "Our company is the greatest shipping company in the Tian-Hung Empire. There has never been a major accident. Madam, you can ride with confidence and don't be too nervous."

Qili could only give up and left the deck.

At lunch time, Qili had lunch with Bert and her mother.

Halfway through, she saw Sunuo's figure again and the ghost following her.

The ghost didn't seem to be resentful towards Sunuo at all. On the contrary, it looked very kind, like a Bodhisattva.

Qili guessed that Sunuo was not a terrorist.

She left her fiancé behind, left the dining table, and walked over to talk to the young man. She wanted to find out what the young man was doing on the ship.

She sat opposite him under the triple displeased gazes of Suno, Bert, and Emma.

She smiled and chatted: "Good afternoon, Suno, are you interested in ancient Egypt?"

Su Nuo lowered his head and said nothing, eating elegantly in silence.

Qili continued, "I am very fascinated by the history of ancient Egypt, especially about the pharaoh's princesses. Do you know anything about this?"

Suno paused while eating.

The ghost who was sitting next to Sunuo watching the show also looked at Qili and spoke, "Can you see me?"

Qili nodded and said, "Of course, can I ask why you appeared on this giant ship?"

The ghost looked towards the distance outside the window, "Probably, he wants to go home."

Qili continued to ask, "Did he send you home?"

The ghost nodded and said, "Yes, we have no ill intentions."

"Okay, I understand." Qili nodded.

This can be regarded as eliminating a hidden danger that could lead to disaster.

The young man then left the restaurant, and Qili also left the restaurant.

Bert was very angry. He finally took off his disguise and got angry at his mother-in-law, Mrs. Emma, ​​"Your daughter is really passionate."

After Bert finished speaking, he left the restaurant with a dark face, leaving Emma alone.

Emma's lips turned white with anger, "Qili, you are so ignorant!..."

Qili returned to her room and found the camera they had brought with them. It was a very old camera, very different from Blue Star's digital camera, but the memory in her mind told her how to use it.

Every clue to the anomaly was broken, and there would be no progress if she kept waiting. She decided to inspect the bottom of the ship herself to see if there was anything abnormal.

If something goes wrong, she can capture it with her camera and keep it as evidence.

She first took the elevator to the lowest cabin that the elevator could reach, and then went down the stairs.

She entered the boiler room, where many crew members were busy, observing and recording the values ​​on precision instruments, and adding coal to the furnace to power the ship.

"Crack! Click!"

She took several photos.

However, no abnormality was found inside the hull. The hull was intact and the instruments were running normally. Maybe it was just a slight inclination of the hull that didn't bother them at all.

It better be this way.

If the disaster does not come from the hull itself, it comes from the outside of the hull.

Qili was on the private deck, drinking coffee and enjoying the sea breeze, when a reminder from the command center suddenly came to her ears.

[The Chinese headquarters reminds that this ship is very similar to Blue Star's Titanic. It is possible that a shipwreck will occur. The perfect clearance may be to prevent the shipwreck. There are several conjectures as to why the Titanic sank. The mummy curse theory, being sunk by lasers from warships of other countries, and the owner of the ship cheating on insurance, may require you to find evidence that can prove one of these and prevent the ship from sinking. 】

"Is that so?" Qili stirred the coffee in the white porcelain cup with a spoon.

Regarding the mummy curse theory, the mummy is Egyptian, and I saw the Egyptian princess on the boat, but it was obvious that she had no ill intentions, so it can be ruled out.

If it will be sunk by laser weapons from other countries, how can we find evidence?

Qili was going to the captain's cockpit to see if there was any radar or the like that could see nearby ships.

But the rules say not to get close to the captain's cab.

Qili was ready to go directly to the first mate and ask.

As luck would have it for her, the first mate was on the deck outside the cockpit.

Qili asked straight to the point: "Mr. Will, I would like to ask, is there a radar on the Prometheus?"

Will frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked doubtfully, "Madam, what is radar?"

Obviously, in this strange world, radar has not been invented yet.

Qili explained to him: "Radar is a technology that uses radio waves to find and measure the position of a target. Specifically, the radar system will send out a beam of radio waves. When these waves encounter the target, they will bounce back. The radio waves will be received and analyzed by the radar system, and by calculating the time it takes for the radio waves to be sent and returned, the target's position and speed can be known."

Will exclaimed, "It's really amazing. When you said that, I thought that the Tianxiong Empire's military seems to have been researching this technology."

Qili nodded and asked, "What navigation does the Prometheus mainly rely on?"

Will said, “We mainly rely on visual observations, as well as some traditional navigation equipment, such as sextants, compasses, hourglasses, nautical charts, etc. We also have an experienced captain, so we don’t have to worry about getting lost. On the ocean.”

Qili nodded, but thought in her mind that the Titanic should have navigated in this way, and it also had an experienced captain, but it still hit an iceberg in the end.

Will added: "We also have a radio equipment that can be used to send and receive telegrams, and can also communicate with other ships. It is very high-tech."

Qili smiled and said, "Yes."

She thought to herself that this would not allow them to detect any warships on the sea. Even if they were targeted, they would have no idea, let alone avoid being attacked.

If they were targeted by a warship's weapons, they would have no room for resistance.

This is simply unavoidable.

According to the prompts from the command center, there is one last guess left.
