Super Dimension Technology Era

After some searching, Muto Dai's expression was not good.

"Captain, about 20 nautical miles to the southwest is the Huayang Reef of China."

Although he knew the location of the island, Shigemo Mishima was not happy at all because the GPS positioning system was now interfered with and difficult to use.

Just follow the navigation, it will probably be cold.

what to do! What to do... Mishima Shigechi's mind went blank.

But the storm on the sea became more and more violent, and the heavy rain hit the windshield of the cabin like the beat of a heavy metal drum.

The Sapphire Princess was sailing hard in the wind and waves. Suddenly a huge wave hit the hull, and the salty sea water poured into the cabin.

"Help!"

"Woooooooo..."

"Oh my God!"

The passengers were at a loss. Some were sobbing softly, some were desperately calling on their mobile phones, and some were shivering and huddled in the corner.

Sailors are also scrambling to drain water. If the sea water is not drained out in time, the consequences may be very serious.

Most of the passengers who were making calls were unable to get through because satellite phones were severely interfered with during the typhoon.

In addition, in order to prevent the Sapphire Princess's satellite antenna from being broken by strong winds, the satellite communication antenna had to be put away.

The most troublesome part of satellite communications is that the antenna must be aligned with the satellite and there must be no bad rain or snow.

Now the Sapphire Princess cannot put out its antenna to enhance the signal, and it just happened to encounter a typhoon.

The anxious crowd was like ants on a hot pot, anxious. Many people were scared and angry, and even dropped their mobile phones.

But not everyone can't get through. For example, Hu Yang from Shanghai got through very easily.

"Oh, buy it! Sir, can you get through on the phone?"

Hu Yang, who was holding the seat handle with one hand and talking on the phone with the other, noticed the bearded foreigner next to him.

"Uh...yes." After Hu Yang replied, he continued to call his family in Shanghai. Now he regretted traveling.

There were six Chinese citizens in the cabin. Two of them had terahertz mobile phones and quickly took out their mobile phones to make domestic calls.

I even went to the doctor indiscriminately due to illness and called the fire station.

But this time, they were blind and blind, because the thinking system was upgraded again in 2015.

For emergency calls made abroad or in remote areas, the thinking system will transfer the emergency call to the nearest Chinese embassy or government unit based on the proximity principle.

"Hello! Hello! This is the Huayang Reef Maritime Affairs Department of Sansha City, China. How can I help you?"

"Sansha City Maritime Affairs Department?" Cai Boling was stunned, and then exclaimed: "Thank God, we..." Cai Boling was so anxious that he began to speak nonsense.

…

At the Marine Department's Three Defense Center in Huayang Reef, the receptionist took quick notes while talking. Although Cai Boling on the other side spoke very confusingly, the receptionist still asked about the key elements.

Gao Yuan and Zhang Wei were also listening and looking at the receiver's notes. From the clues, they knew that a cruise ship called the Sapphire Princess was nearby and was stranded in the hinterland of the South China Sea due to a malfunction.

"Start the satellite positioning system." Zhang Wei ordered.

"yes."

On the big screen, on the satellite cloud map around Huayang Reef, a red light spot was about 19 nautical miles northeast of Huayang Reef.

"Activate the high-power radio and send a message to the Sapphire Princess."

"receive."

Ocean-going ships all have their own mid- and high-frequency radio stations (mh/hf channels), which are small radio stations themselves, used as high-power radios to listen to broadcasts from other stations, such as MF 9500Hze Voice of China.

However, the high-frequency radio station on Huayang Reef can transmit radio waves on all channels. They don't know what frequency the high-frequency radio station on the Sapphire Princess uses, so they can only transmit it in one go.

…

Sapphire Princess.

Mishima Shigechi could only rely on ancient navigation knowledge, very superficial navigation knowledge, to steer the cruise ship in a general direction.

Humanity's technology is advancing, but some things have been lost. Thanks to satellites and radio communications in modern society, who will learn ancient navigation knowledge.

Even if you have learned it but haven't used it for a long time, it is very difficult to use this ancient knowledge in an emergency and use it correctly.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Sapphire Princess's current heading will deviate from Huayang Reef at an angle, and it is very likely to pass by it.

Suddenly, the third officer in charge of communications, Yamanaka Gin, was stunned when an intermittent sound came from his earphones.

[This is Sansha City, China... Huayang Reef Maritime Affairs Department... Sapphire Princess... Please adjust the channel to...]

Yamanaka Yin quickly adjusted the radio station to the designated channel, and after the sound of the full-channel radio wave was played three times in a row, Huayang Reef also adjusted to the designated channel.

[Sapphire Princess, among your passengers is a Chinese passenger Cai Boling. He carries a terahertz mobile phone. You can use the terahertz mobile phone to communicate directly with Huayang Reef...]

This time the sound was very clear and it was repeated three times.

"Captain, just now..." Yamanaka Gin said briefly and explained the matter.

Mishima Shigechi made a quick decision: "Invite that Chinese passenger over immediately, quickly!"

"Hi."

Cai Boling, who was confused, was brought into the cockpit and realized that the other party needed his mobile phone for positioning and calling.

Yamanaka Gin took the phone and turned on the positioning system. The real-time location of the Sapphire Princess and the surrounding islands and reefs clearly appeared on the phone.

"Captain, we're off course."

After some maneuvers, the Sapphire Princess finally corrected its sailing direction, and Mishima's back was soaked in cold sweat.

Through Cai Boling's mobile phone, the Sapphire Princess communicated with Huayang Reef and navigated its position.

They sailed hard for more than an hour in the storm, and finally saw the lighthouse standing in the storm.

Mishima and others have never seen such a dazzling light. All the neon lights in the world are not as brilliant as this lighthouse.

When the Sapphire Princess approached the shelter of Huayang Reef, they discovered that it was a large shelter and not a simple pier at all.

"Immediately, follow the instructions of the Chinese people and prepare to anchor." Mishima shouted loudly.

"Hi!"

The more critical the situation, the less urgent it is to rush, otherwise the ship will hit a reef, seawall, or dock, and the success will be lost.

After passing through the gate of the safe harbor, the Sapphire Princess moved cautiously for nearly twenty minutes before it was safely anchored at the berth.

As cables were tied to the pillars, the Sapphire Princess finally stabilized.

Mishima slumped down, panting heavily, and bursts of cheers came from the cabin.

A portion of the soldiers stationed at Huayang Reef were dispatched to assist the passengers and crew of the Sapphire Princess in disembarking.

The storm brought by Typhoon Whale became more and more intense, and the passengers did not dare to stay on the ship, so they were arranged to go to emergency shelters one by one.

Mishima bowed excitedly to Zhang Wei and others: "Thank you very much."

"Captain Mishima, arrange for the sailors to manage the passengers. Don't have too many people stationed on the ship. We can wait until the typhoon passes to discuss other matters." Zhang Wei replied calmly.

"Thank you very much. We will definitely cooperate." Mishima bowed respectfully again.

Thanks to the book friend "Just a Salted Fish" for the reward. Thank you very much for your support (ω｀)
