Chapter 154 Mirage
At that time, Gu Wenmin was standing at the head of the bed, the quilts were all dried, and everyone was laying down on the deck.I walked up to her, and she just looked at me and didn't speak, which made me feel a little puzzled, and said: "Wenmin, am I doing something wrong or something? Just tell me, I'm not a bad person." Having a girlfriend before, let me guess what you women are thinking, but it's a bit difficult for me."

Gu Wenmin glared at me and said, "Just pretend, Xiao Dou told me all about your old ways."

"What?" I was startled, and said, "That big mouth, I really want to sew it up. I swear, I don't have any other thoughts about Xiao Jing, and I don't even have any thoughts about Duan Fei. It's just that I am loved by everyone." It's cute, but it's impossible for them to pester me, I'm loyal and unswerving to you."

She just smiled and said, "Usually, she's like a stuffy gourd, with a slick tone, which doesn't make sense at all." I was relieved when I saw her smile, and asked while the iron was hot: "If that's the case, why don't you follow me?" That girl Duan Fei is fussy, I promise to make a detour when I see her in the future, and hide my male hormone aura."

Gu Wenmin couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, and said, "In your heart, am I such a stingy person?" Of course I didn't dare to say that she was jealous, but asked in a roundabout way: "If that's the case, why do you guys quarrel during the day?"

She was slightly silent, and said: "It's not for the reason you think, I'm not sure yet, anyway, during this time, don't get too close to her, she has a problem..." Before she finished speaking, suddenly there was a The voice interrupted us, but it was Wu Sidong who said sourly: "It's so late at night, what are you talking about?"

I looked a little funny, and said to Gu Wenmin: "Look, I'm not the only one who emits hormones." Gu Wenmin was speechless, so he could only shrug his shoulders and said, "I'll observe it for a while, let's talk when I have a chance. "She probably couldn't stand Wu Sidong's gaze, so she shrank into the bed and fell asleep on her own.

Although it was summer, the sea was damp and cold, and we still had to cover up with bedding at night. Except for the four robots who took turns keeping watch, the rest of us slept until dawn.

Until now, it was already the third day we were trapped, and the fresh water had run out, but there was a fish in the sea called 'traveling fish', which had a high water content in its body. Under the command of Ah Ying, they began to catch traveling fish with fishing nets and other things.After its flesh is cut open, milky white juice will ooze out of it. It tastes light and slightly bloody, but it's not hard to swallow.

On the third day when everyone was trapped, all the jokes they could tell were almost done, and all the ways to pass the time were exhausted. After eating the fish, they sat silently, looking at the endless sea level, feeling the loneliness in their hearts. Feelings and uncertainty about the future make people feel heavy.I don't know how many hours later, when I was knocking clams on the reef boredly, Robot No. [-], who had been standing on a high place, suddenly said: "I found the target."

Robot Two said, "It's a ship!"

Robot No. [-] said: "It seems to be a naval warship."

Robot No. [-] said: "Great, I can finally have a normal meal." The sudden conversation between the four of them shocked us quite a bit, and everyone stood up quickly and climbed to the height of the ship. out, looking in the direction they were looking.Sure enough, on the extremely distant sea horizon, the figure of the ship appeared.

Due to the distance, in our eyes, the ship is about the size of a palm. It is a white shuttle-shaped ship. It is driving steadily on the sea level. It seems that it is going south. That direction may be Shenzhen. of?Perhaps to Fujian?Anyway, it's the way back home.I'm not sure what criteria the four robots used to judge it as a warship, but they are from the army, and they may have recognized certain signs.

The excitement of everyone can be imagined. I was happy at first, then nervous, and said: "Our signal cannot be transmitted, and we are in a reef area that ships will avoid. If we are not careful, that warship will ignore us. Hurry up!" Fire the gun to signal." After I reminded everyone, everyone recovered from the joy, and the four robots were very unified, loaded the guns in unison, and fired three shots into the sky.

It's a pity that in the open sea, mixed with the sound of the sea wind and waves, the gunfire did not spread too far. The penetrating gunfire in the past seemed a bit dull and dull.A faint unease flashed in my heart. After firing the gun, I stared at the distant ship. After a while, I found that it had no intention of turning around and coming this way.

Robot One frowned and said, "They didn't hear the signal."

Robot No. [-] said: "If the signal is received, the warship will definitely save people."

Robot Three said: "If no action is taken, the ship will be out of sight."

Robot No. [-] didn't speak. I was not used to it for a while, and Tofu was the same. I turned my head and asked him, "Why don't you make a sound?"

Robot No. [-] had a blank face, but his tone seemed weak, and lamented: "It seems that my roast goose, potatoes, and white rice have been soaked in soup." what happened?"

Seeing that the two were about to argue, I felt a dull pain in my forehead, and interrupted them quickly, saying: "Hurry up, stop talking about these useless things, if you want to eat roast goose and white rice, you have to get on the boat first. "At this moment, my brain has been running at high speed, thinking about the countermeasures for transmitting signals.

First of all, it is useless to fire a gun here, because the sound of gunfire cannot be transmitted at all. The sound of whale salamanders from the depths of the sea.Then if they want to receive our signal, it is impossible to wait in place, only to take the initiative.

But the problem is that this big ship is empty now, we can't control its course at all, and the power equipment has been damaged. How can we steer it towards the direction of the warship?

Then I thought of something, a lifeboat.

When the ship capsized before, because the lifeboat was at the stern, we had no time to get it, so the whole army was wiped out. Now, the lifeboat is still at the stern, but some places have already been cut out, so it cannot be used at all.

But even if there is no lifeboat, we can use other things instead. After all, the time we need is not long, and we only need to row to the visible range of the ship to be rescued.

After some quick thinking, I immediately made a decision, and said to everyone: "Dismantle the ship, remove the three bottom plates of the fish hold at the stern, and let's row over." The bottom plate of the fish hold is made of two rectangular whole pieces. Wood inlaid, a bit like two natural rafts, we can ride it across.

From what we can see, the ship isn't moving very fast, it's clearly cruising, so we have every chance as long as we hurry.

Carp and Ah Ying are both veterans of the sea, and they immediately agreed with my decision. The two of them took the four robots to remove the bottom plate immediately, and we cleaned up the equipment again.Although this operation ended in failure, this batch of equipment is very valuable, and it will take a lot of effort to collect a complete set, so of course they cannot be discarded casually.

Since we had sufficient manpower and worked with our hands and feet at the same time, we quickly reached our goal.The people put the bottom board on the sea surface as a raft, and took the wood chips on the deck as oars. The three rafts, carrying people and equipment, strenuously headed towards the patrol ship in the distance.

Since we left the high place, our field of vision narrowed as soon as we got low, and the patrol ship disappeared from our sight, but since it had already been positioned, it had no effect.Fortunately, the weather was calm at this time, and although our raft was simple, it was not in danger of capsizing.Everyone was full of energy, paddling oars, chasing after each other, heading towards the warship. '

There is a saying that the mountains are close, and the mountains are far away. The warship looks like the size of a palm. In fact, it takes a lot of effort to reach its range. We rowed for a long time before finally seeing it again. The time is bigger, which means we are closer to it.As the distance got closer, the white patrol ship became clearer and clearer. Its snow-white body was moving straight forward, and there were still vaguely shaking shadows on the ship, which should be the navy or the crew.

This distance is enough for the other party to find us. In order to attract more attention, the four robots immediately fired another round of signals. While sending the signal, we continued to row forward. When we turned around to save us, an amazing scene appeared.

The ship kept going forward, and then the bow disappeared, and the middle also disappeared...

In front of it, as if a space-time tunnel appeared, the warship plunged into the space-time tunnel, first the bow, the hull and finally the stern. After a while, a giant ship disappeared without a trace!

Everyone stopped paddling their oars, staring at the sea level where there were warships, all dumbfounded.Tofu even choked his breath in his throat, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Is this playing with me? What happened? What did we see? That patrol ship disappeared!" The tunnel thing describes exactly what we have seen.

There was such a legend in the last century. It was also a navy ship. After it disappeared suddenly while driving at sea, it suddenly reappeared more than 100 years later. At the time of the incident, the crew was very dazed, because they didn't feel anything, it was just a moment, and 100 years passed.But these crew members were short-lived in the end, and died of organ failure not long after landing.

The same situation exists in the Sky Tunnel. It is said that a reconnaissance plane also encountered the same situation. It suddenly lost contact with the ground. Seventy years later, it reappeared strangely. The pilot didn’t feel anything, but the people on the ground couldn’t understand it. It's a pity that the pilot on the reconnaissance plane died of rapid aging not long after, leaving us no chance to study and decipher it.

The scientific community calls this phenomenon the space-time tunnel.Although I have seen many of these weird things before, I always thought they were fabricated. When this scene really happened before our eyes, I was completely stunned, and only when I came back to my senses did I think: that The next time a warship appears, will it be hundreds of years later?
Almost everyone has heard about the space-time tunnel, so they have similar thoughts, but at this moment, Professor Lin suddenly said: "So that's how it is." Then he sighed.
