Chapter 85
cluck cluck cluck cluck cluck——

A loud, scalp-numbing noise came from the bottom of the ship. Thanks to Yaha's command, the entire ship did not hit the solid spar head-on.In that case, the whale's wings may be broken, but the whaling ship will also be completely stopped and become the target of the other two whales.

The bottom of the Moby Dick rubbed against the spar, and the solid hull broke dozens of "branches" protruding from the spar.The whaling ship and the whale are like two knights riding against each other. The chance of shooting is only the moment they cross each other, and then they will separate from each other.

In this round of confrontation, it was obvious that the Moby Dick had the upper hand.

Even Yaha's face slowly opened into a smile, and she was about to issue the next order...

boom--! !

A loud noise suddenly came from the stern, and at the same time, the bow of the ship, which was turning to the upper right, suddenly turned to the left uncontrollably.

Before Yaha had time to ask a question, the voice of the chief engineer came from the megaphone: "Stop the engine on the left!"

Four words, indicating that the situation is very serious.

The status of the thrusters could not be seen from the cab, Yaha could only ask again: "What's the reason?!"

A few seconds later, the voice of another engine room crew member came: "It's the wing bone! A part of the wing bone is stuck in the left thruster!"

"XXX!!" Yaha scolded Xia Ye who couldn't understand the foul language.

"Right rudder 15, turn the direction straight! Horizontal rudder depression angle 10, push the bow down!"

The helmsman quickly complied. After the left propeller stopped, the speed of the Moby Dick slowed down significantly, and speed meant buoyancy. After coasting for a certain distance, the whaling ship began to lose altitude uncontrollably.

"Report speed, helmsman."

"150 verses."

When the speed of the Debsota is lower than 170 knots, the airbags must be propped up to maintain sufficient buoyancy, but once this is done, it means completely giving up maneuverability.

This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst in front of the other two whales that are still intact.

Before Yaha could come up with a solution, the chief mate's report came: "Constructor No. 1 can no longer maintain 'synchronized reinforcement'."

"Change to number 3 or 4." She said without hesitation.

Xia Ye looked at the front deck and found that the structural engineer on the left side of the turret had fallen to the ground, curled up in pain.

"Synchronous reinforcement" can indeed strengthen the ship and the structure engineer to a level far beyond common sense, but the damage that this state can absorb is limited after all.Once a certain threshold is exceeded, the state of "synchronized reinforcement" can no longer be maintained, and the architect will also suffer great pain at the moment the threshold is breached.

Therefore, Yaha tried to avoid the attack of the whale's breath as much as possible. Originally, the two structural engineers would not be able to break through the threshold, but the collision with the spar and the stop of the propeller due to being stuck by the wing bone were all unexpected. As a result, the hull also suffered greater damage.

Immediately, the crew rushed to the front deck and took the structural engineer No. 1 back to the cabin, and No. 2 also left the deck with the help of another crew member. The No. 3 and No. 4 structural engineers quickly added to their vacated positions, preparing to re-establish the "synchronized strengthening" state with the whaling ship.

At this moment, the voice of the crew came from the microphone: "The chief engineer has left the barrier!"

"What? What is she going to do?!"

"She said, she said 'I, pull it out'..." the crew stammered.

Yaha was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted: "Constructors 3 and 4 stop entering 'synchronous reinforcement'!"

Her voice was transmitted to the bottom through the microphone, and the No. 3 and No. 4 constructors who were about to recite the witch's essay suddenly stopped.

"Go and see what's going on at the stern." She then said to the crew beside her.

The crew nodded and were about to leave when Xia Ye suddenly stopped him.

"I'll let my cat go," she said to Jaha.

Yaha nodded without hesitation: "Okay."

Xia Ye whispered some instructions to the black cat hanging on his shoulder, Xiuji nodded, and rushed out of the cab at a very fast speed.It only took a few seconds for the cat to run to the stern, and Xia Ye immediately saw the situation here through the shared vision.

The first thing that came into view were translucent lines that looked like magnetic induction lines. Xia Ye immediately understood why Yaha wanted to stop the synchronous reinforcement of No. 3 and No. 4 structure engineers—because someone else had already entered " Synchronous reinforcement" status.

Xiuji's vision moved to the outside of the ship's side again, and now he could finally see the thrusters hanging on the stern.Xia Ye was shocked to find that the chief engineer, who was wearing black and white stockings, was hugging the cylindrical thruster!
And the "magnetic induction lines" are extending from her, she is also a structural engineer, and now she has obviously entered the "synchronized strengthening" state.

"Did your cat see it?" Yaha asked anxiously.

"I see..." Xia Ye was still a little unbelievable, "The chief engineer... is lying on the stalled thruster, and has entered the 'synchronized strengthening' state... What is she trying to do?"

"She wants to reactivate the left thruster..." Yaha said. "Second officer, tell me the distances between the whaling ship and the three whales."

"550 meters, 1.9 kilometers, 2.2 kilometers."

"It's already reached the distance where the whale's breath can be fired." Yaha murmured, and after a few seconds of meditation, he issued a new order: "Full left rudder, turn the ship sideways! The main and auxiliary guns are ready to fire to the port side!"

The Moby Dick, with only one propeller left, began to turn again. The normal working right propeller continued to provide torque to the hull to rotate to the left. At this time, the rudder effect of the full left rudder was superimposed, and the hull quickly turned sideways. , facing three whales on the port side.

Now, those in the cab can already see them through the side windows.Except for the badly injured whale, which did not move, the other two were struggling to turn.After they staggered past the Moby Dick, they were facing away from the whaling ship. To guide the whale's breath and prepare to hit the target, the target must enter the field of vision of the matrix eye.

While everyone was staring at the whale, Xia Ye looked at the chief engineer through Xiuji's vision.Although the speed of whalers today is "only" 150 knots, the resulting winds are strong enough to blow a man off the propeller.

But the chief engineer seemed to have a way to "suck" on the propeller, even though her black and white hair had been blown almost horizontally, she slowly got up.

Due to the high temperature of nearly a thousand degrees Celsius in the shell of the propeller, the stockings and sailor suit on her body were burned with large and small holes, but she herself was not injured at all. Burn marks.

The girl bowed her body, facing the strong wind, and moved little by little to the edge of the air intake of the thruster.Through Xiuji's field of vision, Xia Ye had already seen a thin white bone the size of a bowl inserted into the engine from the air intake, leaving only a half-meter-long piece left outside, which must be the wing that the crew was talking about. Bones - those "tiny" branches extending from the spar.

She couldn't help being a little curious about how the chief engineer planned to troubleshoot this problem.

Since he is the chief engineer, maybe he has signed a "directional blasting" contract?It should be possible to use this ability to blast the wing bones into tiny pieces without damaging the internal structure of the propeller...

Just as Xia Ye was guessing like this, she saw the chief engineer half-kneeling down, grabbing the exposed part of the wing bone with both hands, and then began to pull it out...
