Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 158 Target South China Sea
The 271 ship rushed to the accident sea area at the maximum speed.After more than ten hours passed, the radio on board 271 finally connected to ship 283.

Our country's navy at this time is still too weak, there are not many larger warships, and even fewer can get here as soon as possible.

After a few more hours, the 283 ship finally appeared in the eyes of everyone.

The 283 ship, like the 271 ship, is a warship built during World War II.

The ship is not young, but we maintain and maintain it well.But the warships of that period also had their problems, such as design and quality problems caused by many wartime systems.

Zhao Ye has already seen that the stern of the 283 ship was damaged by the mine.From the initial appearance, the damage to the entire tail is still quite large.There was a lot of water in the ship, the bow of the whole ship was upturned, and the deck at the stern almost sank into the sea

The appearance of 271 made the officers and soldiers on board 283 burst into cheers.They have persisted here for a day and a night, the cold, hunger and thirst severely overdrawn the soldiers' physical strength.

Seeing the arrival of rescue now is really closer than seeing relatives.

Today's sea conditions are not bad, and the two ships can slowly move closer together.

After the operation of the ship was completed, the captain immediately transferred the officers and soldiers on board 283 to board 271.

The machine repair team that Zhao Ye was in was immediately called up to listen to the report from the captain and crew chief of Ship 283.

Listening to the other party's description, Zhao Ye knew that the situation of 283 was not optimistic.

What they encountered was a sea mine floating around with the sea water. This kind of sea mine is usually placed around some important military ports.However, sometimes some unexpected circumstances will cause these mines, which should be fixed in a certain place, to be disconnected from the mooring iron chains, and become an indefinite time bomb drifting with the sea.

The 283 ship was also in an emergency, and it was not in a hurry to dodge, so that the mine was involved in the wake and was injured.

The rudder was damaged and the engine room was flooded. In order to balance the ship, the captain had to fill the forward cabin with water.

Under such circumstances, it is no longer possible to repair here, and the 283 can only be towed back to the ship repair yard for overhaul.

The plan was formulated, and after the officers and men on the 283 ship were settled, the captain of the 283 ship boarded the 283 ship again with a dozen people.

Zhao Ye was also among the dozen or so people.

The damage control personnel of the original 283 ship were extremely exhausted. At this time, they were requested by the captain to stay on the 271 ship.

By the time everything was arranged, it was already night. 271 dragged 283 forward slowly.

That is, shortly after departure, the sea conditions became rough.

The two ships had a hard time walking in the storm, especially the 283, which was full of sea water and seriously slowed down.

"Captain, it's really not an option to go on like this. We still have to find a way and deal with emergencies." Zhao Ye found the captain and expressed his suggestion.

"How do you think we should deal with it?" The captain was also worried about this matter.

"Captain, that's how I think about it." After speaking, Zhao Ye put forward his own opinion.

It turned out that Zhao Ye's idea was to perform underwater welding on the damaged area.Originally, the damaged part of the stern was a weld, but the shock wave of the bomb caused the entire weld to crack.

The reason why the 283 ship can't handle it is also very simple. First, the gap is too long and the water enters too fast.Secondly, it is impossible for 283 to go to sea with equipment such as underwater welding.

But it doesn't exist on 283, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist on 271.

Originally, 271 was repaired at the military port, and the equipment on the ship had to go to sea urgently before it could be unloaded.And at this time, it happens that this set of equipment can be used to deal with the 283 problem.

"Under such sea conditions, are you sure?" The captain considered some of Zhao Ye's suggestions and felt that this job was also full of difficulties and dangers.

"Captain, I'm sure, you can give it a try. That's what I think..." Zhao Ye told the captain his plan.

The captain thought about it, then contacted 271 by radio, and talked about the maintenance plan given by Zhao Ye.

Although this plan cannot restore the self-propelled capability of 283, it can allow 283 to drain the water as much as possible and increase their sailing speed.

Soon, the two ships stopped.

A small boat came to 283 carrying the equipment needed here.

After Zhao Ye tidied up his equipment, he dived underwater and began to weld up the injured parts.

Zhao Ye's special ability allowed him to complete the work quickly. After the water pump on 283 was turned on, the water in the cabin decreased rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Okay! Victory, success!" There was a burst of cheers on board 283, which reached the ears of officers and soldiers on board 271 from a long distance away.

This time, the speed of the two ships was much faster than before.

It's just that this delay made the night darker and the wind and waves on the sea more violent.

At this time, Zhao Ye, who had never smoked, asked for a cigarette from the captain and smoked it silently.

He suddenly wanted to take advantage of such an opportunity and take a completely different path.

He weighed, pondered, and found various reasons for his thoughts.

At this time, the captain suddenly said: "Xiao Jiang, follow me to the back and see what's going on there."

Before the soldier named Xiao Jiang could answer, Zhao Ye stood up and said, "Captain, I'll go with you, just to check if there is any water entering the engine room."

"Alright, let's just go one more time." The captain thought about it and agreed with Zhao Ye's words.

The moment they opened the cabin door, the strong wind and waves made it almost impossible to stand.

"Zhao Ye, you must catch it. Don't fall!" When walking out the door, the captain gave a loud instruction to Zhao Ye, and then walked out.

Zhao Ye followed closely behind, holding on to the railing all the way, advancing with difficulty.

When returning from patrolling around, Zhao Ye, who was walking behind, secretly broke the safety rope connecting him with the captain.Immediately, one jumped into the sea.

"Zhao Ye! Zhao Ye!" The captain realized that there was no one behind him, and when he turned around again, Zhao Ye was no longer in sight.I can only call the names of my comrades-in-arms to the sea, but I can't do anything.

When the news spread, everyone was silent for a while.Everyone knows that under such sea conditions, rescue is out of the question.

And their comrades-in-arms were almost doomed to die.

Of course Zhao Ye didn't want to seek death at this time, he just wanted to get away from this environment far away.

Going abroad is not allowed, for him, this is almost equivalent to treason.

But if he doesn't go abroad, how can he have a stable environment that he can lead?

After thinking hard, it really made him think of a solution that is not a solution.go to sea!
It can't be near the sea, it has to be the far sea with few people.

There is only one place that complies with his request, the South China Sea.

When others go to that kind of island, survival is a problem.But Zhao Ye is different, he can't help but live a normal life, and live a good life.

As early as when he had this idea, he was already secretly preparing it.All kinds of supplies almost filled his space.

Zhao Ye, who jumped off the boat, waited in the water for a long time before releasing a small boat and climbing aboard.

The place where he jumped off the boat was already in the southeast direction of Bay Island. At this time, he took out the compass, roughly judged the direction, and started the motor.

Along the way, Zhao Ye used his ability to copy gasoline every day.Quickly move towards your goal.

That's it, it took him more than a month to reach this sea area and choose his destination among the many islands and reefs.

This is an atoll, only in the middle, there is a piece of land exposed to the sea.

The whole piece of land is only two to three hundred square meters in size. Zhao Ye carefully steered the boat into the interior of this atoll, and then set foot on this piece of land.

Long time life at sea made Zhao Ye's land dizziness very serious.He lay on the beach for a long time before he recovered.

Zhao Ye also had his own purpose in choosing this island.

Most of the islands at the southernmost tip of the South China Sea are coral reef islands.The island with a slightly larger area and fresh water resources is still occupied by people from the Bay Island.

If he wanted to make a difference here, there was only one way left.

That is to create an island!
His spatial ability allows him to easily fetch sand and stones from the bottom of the sea, and then throw these sand and stones wherever he wants.

It's just that if he really only uses this method, then he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey to create a usable island!

So after comprehensive thinking, he chose a more tricky method, which was to find submarine volcanoes.

You know, these islands in the depths of the ocean were basically volcanoes tens of thousands of years ago.It's just that many volcanoes have become extinct volcanoes.

Coupled with years of seawater erosion, some volcanic islands collapsed little by little, and became coral habitats below the water surface.

Coral lives here, grows here, and finally dies here, becoming a coral reef in people's eyes.

Zhao Ye's system space is a huge hourglass, with the capacity to put things on it. After the last upgrade, it already has a capacity of [-] cubic meters.

That is to say, he can hold five hundred cubic meters of any substance at a time, such as sand and stone.

However, it would be too inefficient to move sand and stones directly, so he planned to dig a hole in the exposed part of the coral reef, a hole with a depth of several thousand meters, directly penetrate the rocks below, and reach this place that may be dead or alive. bottom of the volcano.

If the volume of [-] cubic meters is turned into a cylinder, then Zhao Ye can almost make its sides infinitely long.

The location of this sea reef is good, and the underground environment is not bad, so it took him a few days to make sufficient preparations, and he was ready to dig a hole.

At a selected location, Zhao Ye put his hand on the underwater reef, and with a thought, a round hole with an area only the size of a palm and a depth of several thousand meters was created out of thin air.

The sea water poured in instantly, Zhao Ye didn't dare to stay longer, and drove the boat, fleeing towards the distance at top speed.
