Beast Studio - Chapter 913

On the first day the Dream left Sydney Harbour and entered the westerly zone, there was already a noticeable turbulence.

This is just the beginning.

Meteorological expert Professor Zhu hurried to Liu Wei to discuss meteorology.

Professor Zhu pointed to the weather analysis on the computer screen and said: “Look, the two cyclones we observed before change every day. These are the two newly observed cyclones today.

I think there are more, captain, the cyclone activity is too intensive, it is basically impossible to find the cyclone window period to smoothly pass through the westerly zone! “

Liu Wei frowned and said, “Old Zhu, what should we do based on your experience?”

Professor Zhu observed the activity of the cyclone and said: “Enter this small cyclone, slow down and go against the wind!”

“Is it too risky?” Liu Wei worried.

“There is no other way!” Professor Zhu said, “Compared with the inclement weather encountered in the 29th Antarctic expedition, the situation we are facing now is relatively optimistic!”

Liu Wei thought for a moment, “How sure are you?”

“60%” Professor Zhu said practically, “The Dream will only officially enter the area with frequent cyclones tomorrow afternoon. I cannot accurately predict the wind speed and wave height at the center of this small cyclone!”

“Too low! Old Zhu!”

“If you add the old guy on the bridge, I think it should be 90%!” Professor Zhu smiled.

Liu Wei is still hesitating.

At this time, the hull of the Dream suddenly deflected to the left.

Dingdingdongdong and the sound of the crew shouting came from the cabin.

Professor Zhu put down his pen and looked at Liu Wei, “This wave is an advance notice! Captain, you make the decision.

However, I have to remind that this severe weather will continue for a long time, and the third cyclone will drift northward to Australia with the westerly wind! “

“You mean that even if we turn back now, we will encounter the same danger!” Liu Weidao.

Professor Zhu nodded, “It’s almost what I mean!”

“Lao Zhu, you call all the experts on the ship to discuss the sailing plan, I will organize the crew to prepare for emergency!” Liu Wei deployed.

Professor Zhu nodded, and after watching Liu Wei leave, he looked back at the cyclone on the computer and started studying.

Liu Wei called everyone to gather in the restaurant.

“Captain, the wave was too big just now! I just rolled off the bed!”

“Captain, several crew members are experiencing seasickness!”

“Captain, what shall we do next?”

A series of questions were thrown at Liu Wei.

Liu Wei held the doorknob of the restaurant and preached, “According to Professor Zhu’s analysis, we encountered very bad weather across the westerly zone this time, but don’t panic. The experts on board are discussing sailing plans.

Before the plan is drawn, we must prepare for emergency.

First of all, Luo Jiangfeng, starting from this afternoon, the kitchen will stop all activities and fix the kitchen tools, especially electrical equipment, to avoid accidents! “

“I see, Captain!” Luo Jiangfeng replied. He knew very well that under the impact of the big wave just now, it was impossible for the kitchen to complete normal cooking work.

Liu Wei then deployed: “Zhang Xing took all the sailors and crew to do two things before tonight.

The first is to check the hull structure, especially the joints, and deal with it immediately if any problems are found.

The second piece is to reinforce all movable equipment, such as lifeboats, oil drums in warehouses, and household utensils.

If you encounter strong winds and waves, there is no way to deal with it, and the security risks are too great! “

Zhang Xing responded: “Guaranteed to complete the task!”

Liu Wei: “The seasick crew finds ways to adjust their physical condition, sailing in bad weather, seasickness is a normal phenomenon, I will let the accompanying doctor take care of you!”

“Thank you, Captain!”

“Okay! Act now!” Liu Wei clapped his hands.

Zhang Xing took volunteers who were still able to move into the work.

Liu Wei climbed onto the deck, and the heavy rain beat fiercely on the deck with the waves.

The wind speed is now only five, but the sea level has already shown signs of rolling.

The hull of the Dream shook slightly.

Liu Wei climbed onto the bridge.

The old experts are all staring at the instrument and discussing here.

Liu Wei stood by and listened carefully. At the critical moment, he had to rely on these old guys.

Discussed for a long time.

The expert group looked back at Liu Wei.

Professor Zhu got up and said: “Captain, we have come to the conclusion that slowing down, the head wind rushed past the second small cyclone, followed the tail of the second small cyclone, and continued to sail, before the third cyclone arrived, it rushed out of the west wind. Take it, head to Antarctica!”

“Is there enough time?” Liu Wei said.

Everyone looked at the old driver, who stood up and said solemnly: “Before entering the small cyclone, I can increase the sailing speed to six knots. After entering, I decelerate to 4 knots. After passing through the cyclone, it may rise to six knots. Calculated at this speed, it will take two and a half days, Captain, this is the limit I can control!”

Liu Wei nodded and said: “According to the plan! Then I beg you!”

“no problem!”

“Guys, it’s time to be serious!”

“Captain, don’t worry!”

The old comrade of the expert group said with a smile.

…

At noon the next day.

The Dream entered the second small cyclone.

Professor Zhu observes the weather and reports the situation in time with the walkie-talkie.

“Wind speed 7.5!”

“Wave Height 4.3!”

The bridge replied: “Speed ​​5 knots! Normal driving!”

In the evening, there was a thunderstorm.

Liu Wei wore a raincoat and climbed onto the deck to observe the warehouse.

“Wind speed level 9!”

“The wave is five meters high!”

Professor Zhu’s voice just came from the intercom.

A big wave turned over.

The hull that hit the Dream made a violent noise.

The sound of crashing, thunder, rolling waves…all mixed together and rushed into the ears of all the crew of the Dream.

The hull rises and sinks with the big waves, repeatedly, with different amplitudes each time.

It is many times more uncomfortable than a roller coaster.

The oil barrels **** in the warehouse began to tremble, and the bottom banged on the deck.

Liu Wei leaned into the warehouse and checked it.

Suddenly a message came from the bridge: “Attention all the crew, the big wave ahead is 15 meters visually!”

Professor Zhu immediately said: “The wind speed is eleven! The Dream is in a state of emergency!”

“Speed ​​3 knots!”

The old driver slowed down again.

After inspecting the warehouse, Liu Wei came out and witnessed the waves swallowing more than ten meters. He quickly lifted the ship, and then the hull sank with gravity, and the deck remained almost parallel to the sea level.

Liu Wei rolled onto the deck and firmly grasped the staircase guardrail entering the living area.

In the living area at this time, almost all crew members could only lie down and squat on the ground, completely unable to adjust their body balance.

The dining room seats have already started to collide with each other involuntarily.

This violent and long-lasting shaking lasted until 8:30 pm local time.

“Successfully passed through the center of the cyclone! The speed was five knots!”

Professor Zhu said: “The third atmospheric swirl moves very fast, we must hurry!”

“Received on the bridge!”

“Received in the observation room!”

“Received from the engine room!”

“Received in the cabin!”
