Chapter 267 Bay No. 6, the sea monster(1/2)
Dark night.
The waves on the sea surface are rustling.
The sound of waves is not heard very much in the sea area here, and a larger "boom" covers the sound of waves.
I saw dozens of huge ships lined up in three rows on the sea, and they were neatly heading south.
In order to see the sea clearly in the dark night, several searchlights lit up at the bow and masts of each ship, and the nearby sea surface was illuminated.
"There is an iceberg at 3,800 yards on the port side, and the ships behind should pay attention to avoiding it." The "Spanish Ocean" guided the fleet at the forefront reminded.
"clear!"
"clear!"
At dawn, I pulled the quilt on my head while resting in the room of "Aquarius Star", my body shivered, and Antarctica was too cold.
The thermometer shows: -8°, the further you go south, the lower the temperature.
In H Country, the temperature in the north is often below minus 3 or 40 degrees Celsius. People in the south think that the north must be very cold. However, when northerners arrive in the south, even the temperature is around 0 degrees Celsius, it will be very cold. It is said that the south is much colder than the north. People in the south are strange. The temperature here is not even below minus, so why do you call it cold?
In fact, for the human body, temperatures are divided into "ambient temperature" and "somatosensory temperature". The climate in the north is dry and the air has low moisture content. Although the outdoor temperature reaches minus 40 degrees Celsius, the temperature sensed by the human body is much larger than this value.
The climate in the south is humid and the air has high moisture content. Once the temperature drops below zero, a gust of cold wind will blow, and the part of the body exposed to the air will be carried away by the moist air, which will tremble with coldness. In addition, there is no heating in the south, which is why the south is colder than the north.
Blue Mercury's oceans account for most of the area, and the fleet sailed on the sea. In the high humidity and cold environment, the crew must be extremely frozen.
"I wonder if those Blue Star people will be frozen? I'll go back to the base tomorrow and ask them to get me 200,000 sets of thick cotton coats."
...
The next day. The edge of the Antarctic ice cap, inside Bay No. 6.
Tiege looked at the fleet ahead, frowned, and a wave of turbulence broke out in his heart.
Those boats are too big!
In the front row were 12 warships emitting silver flashes, lined up in a row, aiming the black hole tubes at the ships.
Although he knew that these 12 ships were made of metal, Tiege was not afraid, he was afraid of the big ships behind him.
The big ships behind the boat, one is bigger than the other, and one is taller than the other. It was not until I saw a huge metal ship with an extremely large size equal to the sum of ten metal warships that Tiege felt irresistible.
Of course, these large ships and small ships are just the comparison result of the ships inside the fleet. It is just a small ship that is no less than Tiege's own flagship "Tiege".
"They also have an ark, but the ark can only be considered medium-sized inside, and the dozens of wooden ships behind them are all much larger than the ark, which is very strange."
After this strange fleet suddenly appeared outside the bay, it was fierce and formed a battle formation. Let Tiege understand: the visitor is not good.
But they did not launch an attack immediately, which shows that there is still room for negotiation.
After thinking about it, Tiege sent a small boat to ask his subordinates to negotiate with the leader of the fleet and test their intentions.
...
Standing in the command room of the Little Blue Star Island, Tianming looked at the fixed telescope and curled his lips disdainfully. How did the small forces of only more than 300 ships occupy this big bay?
Tianming had the urge to take down the bay immediately.
It is indeed a good place. There are tall icebergs above 100 meters high around this bay. In addition to the estuary, the icebergs surround the bay on three sides, blocking the cold wind blowing into the bay from three directions. The wind is calm and the waves are a good shelter bay.
Moreover, the bay has a very large area, with a diameter of about 80 kilometers and an area of more than 5,000 square kilometers.
"Although I know the number of their ships, I should not use force easily before I thoroughly understand their strength," Liu Haiyang said to Tianming: "It is better for them to communicate first."
A small boat was sent to the other side. After informing the purpose of the visit, on the deck of the Beginning of the Winter, Tianming met the negotiator sent by the other party.
"What is your purpose for coming here?" Although the negotiator was surprised by these strange ships and strange "people", he still looked neither humble nor arrogant, without fear.
Yes, this Blue Star man was a little brave. Tianming looked at him with some admiration and said to him: "My fleet wants to find a better place to dock," Tianming, who was knocking on the throne and sitting on the throne, added: "It's right here."
"This place belongs to our Lord Tiege. Please go to another place." The man said righteously.
"Rare!" Jin Guazi pulled out the black iron sword around her waist.
"You dare not give us what we want?" Gaka also shouted angrily.
"We are not afraid of any robbers, Lord Tiege has never surrendered to anyone!" The envoy took another step forward.
"Then are you afraid of death?" Jin Guazi said at him with fierce eyes.
The messenger took a few steps back, clenched his fists, and said with little confidence: "I...we can defeat you!"
"Golden Guazi, you scared him." Tianming stopped Jin Guazi's intimidation and said to the messenger: "Take your leader and say, before sunset, our fleet will enter this bay. He has two choices, one, leave, and two, join us, I will give him very good conditions, and if he agrees, you can avoid a lot of bleeding."
The messenger looked at Tianming and saw only the word "tough". He had to say, "I will talk to my leader."
...
After the messenger passed the words to Tiege, the captains and elders of each ship cursed endlessly.
"Bandits, only pirates do this!" A captain slapped the table and said.
"War, you can only choose war!" Another person pulled out the short knife at his waist.
"Mr. Tiege, send Gugu to eat them all. Their ark is exactly what we need."
"Yes, in front of Gugu, those ships are not enough to see at all. We will take all their big ships, including the ark, and we will be able to survive the end of the world." The man said excitedly.
A half-hunchbacked old man with a crutch came over. He coughed twice, stroked the two white beards on the corner of his mouth, and said to Tiege in an old and hoarse voice: "Tiege, Gugu is not invincible. In front of the powerful God King, it is not an opponent."
The old man is 70 years old this year and is so old that he is unable to speak. Tiege quickly stood up from his seat, helped him and let him sit on a chair with thick fish skin cushions.
The lifespan of the Blue Star people is generally around 60 years old, and it is rare for people who can live to over 50 years old. The bumps at sea and their lifespan is easily shortened. This old man can live to 70 years old, which is extremely rare at sea.
On the sea, the older the people live, the higher the status of the fleet. Because old age is equal to experience, they look at the sky and the sea, and they know when the storm comes and how to go on the route... They are just a book of navigation that lives. They are extremely precious.
"Elder Qiduo, do you mean, let us get this bay out?" Tiege stood next to the old man and asked in confusion.
"No. I mean the second type, join them." Elder Qiduo said.
There was an uproar in the presence.
"Elder Qiduo, are you so confused? Let's join them?"
"We are noble sea gods and free people. We are not slaves to those god kings!"
“What are their qualifications to get us to join?”
"Even if you die in battle, you cannot lose your freedom!"
"Shut up!" Tiege stopped everyone's noise and asked the old man the reason: "Elder Qiduo, why should we join them?"
Everyone calmed down and pricked up their ears to wait for the explanation of more than seven elders.
Elder Qiduo said in a dark and humble voice: "The Doomsday... has arrived. Our ships are too small and cannot resist the huge waves on the sea. If we don't find a god king with an ark to surrender now, we may not even have a chance to be alive." Qiduo raised his hand with difficulty and pointed to the outside and said: "They have come by themselves, and there is an ark. This is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"But we have Gugu, we can survive the end of the world without needing an ark." Another man said unconvinced.
"Gugu can block us once, but can it block five or ten times? Without crossing the wall of the world, we cannot block a wave of huge waves bigger than each other."
Everyone fell silent and began to recall how those difficult days came about.
Their ships were too small to cross the vortex seas and the world walls, so in the year of Doomsday, they did not go north, but instead parked the fleet south and survived the crisis in the waters far from the vortex.
But even though they tied 800 ships together for a whole year, it was useless. Half of the ships sank and more than half of the people died. If it weren't for Gugu, they might have all been buried in the sea...
Tiego also came out of his painful memories and frowned at the elder Qiduo, saying, "Although they have an ark, their ark is still too small. I don't think they have the ability to cross the world wall, so I don't want to join them for the time being, but this bay can let them in and give them a place."
"What if they don't agree and insist on driving us away?" asked a captain.
A cold light flashed in Tiege's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then fight to the death!"
"Yes! Live to the death!" the captains also shouted.
...
Soon, the fleet in Bay No. 6 sent another small boat and met the previous messenger in Tianming.
"How are your leader thinking?" Tianming asked.
The messenger gritted his teeth and straightened his body, saying, "Mr. Tiege said, we can give up half of the bay for your ships to dock, but it is impossible for us to join you."
"Give up half of the bay?" Tianming was a little curious. Will they compromise?
On Earth, some monkey and bird countries fought to the death for a barren island or a millstone-sized reef. Warships and planes were dispatched together. Media reporters reported every day that elementary school students' textbooks said "Xx Island belongs to our country", and they were willing to fight at will... Unexpectedly, these Blue Star people still know how to share? Compare them with them and you will know that the wisdom of Blue Star people is indeed one level higher than that of some Earth people.
Tianming and Liu Haiyang and the others discussed it, and felt that it was unreasonable to come first, and it was really detrimental to come up to create killings, which was really detrimental to morality. Since they were willing to give up half of the bay, then hurry in and avoid the wind. It was too cold outside.
"Okay! I promise you the conditions. My fleet will be in now."
The messenger breathed a sigh of relief, but said, "It is okay to go in, but we must follow our guidance. That place is yours."
Following the direction of the messenger's finger, Tianming saw that the west side of the huge harbor was empty and there was no boat stopping here - it may be because the iceberg was too tall, blocking direct sunlight. So it was colder. But the sea was very calm and there was no slight turbulence. It would be better to dock the boat wherever it was.
“Buzz~~!”
"Woo~Woo~"
The first Trans-Ocean launched the gas turbine, blew the whistle, and rushed in first. The 17 warships, 1 ark, 2 cruise ships, and 38 living ships following them all launched the power system, a huge three-row array. It stretched for more than 10 kilometers and quickly entered Bay No. 6 with a speed of 15 knots.
The hundreds of wooden boats at the entrance of the bay were staring at the strange ships in amazement and drove in at an astonishing speed. Especially after seeing the largest and dazzling silver steel ship "Little Blue Star", a voice in my heart: Our ship may be crushed into pieces by this giant ship?
The mooring of ships is a technical job, which requires both speed to be reduced to zero and cannot knock down icebergs. The water resistance is very small, and the inertia of the ship is very huge. Except for the six naval warships, which are parked stably and well. Other ships are bumpy and bumpy. In order to prevent the ship from being damaged, Tianming had to take action himself, and use his spiritual sense to control part of the sea water under the sea, allowing the ships to stop.
To be continued...
