On the sea, ships have several deadly enemies.
Floating icebergs, storms at sea, and reefs on the seabed.
[Red Jiao] ran aground on the rocks, which was the last thing Huo Yu wanted to face.
Small islands hidden underwater are reefs, but what can threaten ships are reefs.
A ship hits a rock when it collides with a reef, causing the hull to leak.
In ancient times, because there were no watertight cabins, once a ship leaked, it would mean the ship was destroyed and people died. However, although there are watertight cabins in modern times, rocks are still the enemy of ships.
Under normal circumstances, the sonar system on the ship can accurately find the existence of reefs.
But in such severe thunderstorms, the role of the sonar system is reduced to a minimum.
Huo Yu activated the wolf totem tattoo, and then focused all his energy on his ears.
He listened carefully, selectively ignoring the interference of thunderstorms and waves, and finally captured the sound of sea water pouring into the cabin.
It seems that the part of the hull that hit the rocks is still leaking.
The watertight compartment is the safety structure design of the ship. It is located at the bottom of the hull and is a number of independent cabins divided inside the hull.
Once a water leak occurs, only a single watertight compartment will seep, while other compartments will not be affected and can still float on the sea by buoyancy, reducing the risk of immediate sinking.
Although due to the existence of the watertight cabin, the [Red Dragon] would not sink due to this minor injury, but it was impossible to continue sailing forward.
In this situation, the best choice is to go to that island to take shelter, wait until the storm is over and repair the ship, and then continue sailing forward.
Huo Yu controlled the [Red Jiao] and drove crookedly towards the distant island.
At this moment, other people on the ship also noticed something strange about the ship. Bai Xiaomo and Wei Di passed through the passage in the cabin and helped Wu Yi and Ling Ran to the cockpit to join Huo Yu.
Arriving at the cab, Bai Xiaomo walked to Huo Yu holding a panicked Xiaobai in his arms: "What's the situation now?"
Huo Yu responded calmly: "A watertight compartment under the boat is leaking. We need to find a place to dock quickly."
Bai Xiaomo looked worried and said, "Can it be fixed?"
Huo Yu nodded decisively: "No problem. I also know a little about repairing ships. I have the necessary tools with me, but it will take a while."
Bai Xiaomo breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Huo Yu frowned and looked at Wu Yi and Ling Ran, asking, "What's going on with them?"
Wei Di stepped forward and explained: "Stationmaster, the wind and waves are too strong and they are seasick."
Huo Yu looked at the wilting two people speechlessly, then looked at the little she-wolf squeezed into Bai Xiaomo's arms, and couldn't help but secretly complain.
Good guy, I was worried that this little female wolf would get seasick before I came here, but I didn’t expect that she didn’t get seasick, but you two grown men got seasick first.
What a disgrace to us humans.
"As expected, we need to stay on this island for a while." Huo Yu withdrew his gaze and looked out the window.
Bai Xiaomo raised his head when he heard this and looked outside the cabin at the same time.
At this moment, the entire island appeared in front of everyone.
The Arctic waters are dotted with thousands of islands.
Depending on the type of island and how it was formed, their appearance varies greatly.
According to different reasons for their formation, islands can be roughly divided into four categories. These four categories are:
Continental islands were once part of the mainland, and later existed independently from the mainland; coral islands were formed by the accumulation and aggregation of the exoskeletons of coral polyps, often with low and flat terrain and smaller island areas; volcanic islands, as the name suggests, were formed due to the eruption of submarine volcanoes Islands with rock as the main body tend to have steep and rugged terrain; sedimentation islands are often formed by the sedimentation of sediment carried by rivers due to the slowdown of the flow rate.
The small island in front of you is a typical volcanic island.
The entire island is not very tall, nor is it vast in area, but the mountains are very steep, and the highest peak is like a sharp sword piercing the sky, which makes people feel chilly.
The entire island is surrounded by towering stone mountains. There are densely packed caves of different sizes on the mountain. Except for a stone shoal washed out by the sea, the entire island has no entrance.
A bad premonition arose in Huo Yu's heart. The island's terrain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it was most likely the sea base of some illegal organization.
[Red Jiao] was moving hard on the sea. Due to the sudden rise of the terrain, the waves were getting bigger and bigger. In addition, there were massive reefs formed by volcanic eruptions under the sea, making the [Red Jiao] move forward even more difficult. difficult.
"Get ready to drop anchor." Huo Yu controlled the [Red Jiao] to stop slowly and said to Bai Xiaomo behind him, "We have to find a way to land on the island."
"The condition of the Hongjiao is not very good, and there is a risk of sinking. In addition, Wu Yi and the other two are still seasick, so we need to go to the island to repair it."
Bai Xiaomo asked worriedly: "What should we do?"
"I'll go to the island to take a look first. If there's no danger, I'll notify you by radio."
Huo Yu packed up his equipment, took off the little snowy owl from his shoulders, put it in Bai Xiaomo's arms, and then walked out the door.
Seeing Huo Yu leave, Xiaoyu and Xiaotuan quickly followed and hugged Huo Yu's thigh anxiously.
"Ouch~ (Dad, don't go, let the boy named Wu go~)"
"Aw~ (Dad, I'll go with you too~)"
Seeing the two little guys reluctant to leave, Huo Yu reluctantly knelt down and comforted them.
Bai Xiaomo also said at the side: "I'll go with you, we both have someone to look after us."
Huo Yu shook his head decisively: "No, I can ride Xiaobu there alone. No matter how big the wind and waves are, it can't do anything to us, but if you are included, the risk factor will increase."
After saying that, he turned around resolutely and walked towards the deck.
Bai Xiaomo's lips trembled twice, but in the end he didn't stop.
Huo Yu walked to the deck, and the rain poured down, instantly hitting his combat uniform and making a pattering sound.
Huo Yu quickly turned on the waterproof function of the combat suit, and water beads flowed down the suit to the ground.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. The dark clouds made him breathless.
In front of the island is a dark thundercloud, which is the center point of the storm. Thick purple thunder and lightning can be faintly seen swimming in the sky like a python.
"System, start live broadcast."
At Huo Yu's command, the small black ball aircraft flashed out and floated above his head.
After the live broadcast room viewers poured in, they saw Huo Yu standing on the edge of the deck with his back to the sea, his hands folded on his chest, and then lying straight back.
Under the gaze of the audience, Huo Yu quickly fell into the turbulent sea.
"What's going on? Master Yu is committing suicide by jumping into the sea?"
