Chapter 893 - Helicopter rescue
Luo Jiangfeng’s cooking skills surprised everyone. The sushi he made from the belly meat of bluefin tuna seemed to be radiated with new life, with endless aftertaste in his mouth.
A few hundred catties of top-quality marine fish was eaten by the crew.
“I still want to eat!”
“Let the captain catch it again!”
“I thought I was here to exercise, but I didn’t expect it to be on vacation!”
“If you open two more bottles of red wine, it will be perfect!”
In the afternoon, return to calm.
The crew enjoyed the sun and sea breeze again, and listened to the sound of the waves.
Aunt Life also carried the crew’s quilts on the deck, blew and dried them.
When Liu Wei is free, he likes to climb onto the bridge. One is to climb high and look into the distance, and the other is to brag with the two seniors.
For half a month after starting from the magic city, what happened was much better than Liu Wei expected. Of course, he hoped that the Dream would sail to Antarctica smoothly and safely.
…
Get up early this day.
Liu Wei just put on his clothes and walked into the restaurant to enjoy breakfast.
An emergency message was sent from the bridge, and Liu Wei hurriedly climbed onto the bridge.
“What’s the matter?” Liu Wei asked the old driver.
“Satellite phone!” He pointed.
Liu Wei picked up the phone: “Hello! Hello! This is the Dream, and I am Captain Liu Wei!”
“Hello Liu Wei! This is the China Maritime Search and Rescue Center. We received a distress call from the waters around the Dream, if conditions permit, please organize rescue!”
Liu Wei nodded and said, “Is there a specific location?”
“The latitude and longitude coordinates have been sent!”
“Okay! I will organize rescue immediately!”
“Thank you! Captain Liu Wei, keep in touch at any time!”
Liu Wei hung up the phone and went to look at the computer screen on the bridge. The location where the distress signal was sent was fifty nautical miles ahead!
The rescuer requested rescue by dialing 12395, which must be a sailing boat or a small fishing boat.
If it is a large vessel, the CMDSS system must be installed. This is a new rescue communication system established by the International Maritime Organization based on wireless communication technology, which is faster and more accurate than SOS.
When a ship is in distress at sea, as long as you press the system switch, all location data about the accident will be automatically reported to the rescue agency.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Wei decided to dispatch a helicopter to carry out search and rescue work.
The target is too small, the search range is too large, and the lifeboat cannot accurately locate the target.
Down to the splint.
Open the helicopter warehouse.
Liu Wei notified the pilot to accompany him to the coordinated sea area provided by the Maritime Rescue Center to carry out rescue work.
The helicopter took off smoothly from the splint, and after flying forward fifty nautical miles, the pilot reminded, “Captain, is that him?”
Liu Wei looked down.
There was a sailing boat that turned over on the sea. A man was lying on the sailing boat. He raised his head and watched the helicopter wave his hands.
“It should be him!” Liu Wei confirmed.
The pilot opened the hatch and lowered the rescue ladder. Liu Wei tied the descent rope around his waist and climbed down.
The rotor flapped the sea violently.
The overturned sailboat floated, and the waves slapped layer after layer.
Liu Wei had a hideous face, threw the rope at the man, and shouted, “Can you catch it?”
The man crawled forward, supported the sailboat with both hands, jumped forward and grabbed the rope
“OK!”
Liu Wei stretched out his hand, pulled up the rescue ladder and stood firmly, tied him a descent rope, and then gave the pilot an OK gesture.
The pilot raised the flight altitude and returned directly to the Dream.
Liu Wei and the rescuers landed on the deck steadily. Two volunteers carried a single frame and transferred the rescuers to the infirmary for treatment and physical examination.
After the helicopter stopped and landed on the splint, Liu Wei went down to the infirmary to visit the wounded.
“How is the situation?” Liu Wei asked the accompanying doctor.
“The situation is stable, the body is exhausted, and I need to rest!”
“Can I go in and have a look?” Liu Wei asked.
“can!”
The doctor opened the door and Liu Wei walked in.
The wounded was receiving nutrient solution, and his face turned pale. When Liu Wei came in, he supported his body with his hands and was about to sit up. Liu Wei quickly stepped forward to support him, “Don’t move, the doctor said you need a good rest!”
“I received a call from the Maritime Rescue Center and organized a search and rescue work for you! Are you alone on board? Are there any other crew members?” Liu Wei asked patiently.
The man nodded, “There is another crew member. We entered this sea fish yesterday. In the evening, another crew member went to the sea to catch the fish. The result was entangled by squid. I went to the sea to rescue him, but without success. The waves overturned our sailboat.
After a long time of hard work, I climbed onto the ship, found the satellite phone, and dialed the 12395 rescue number! “
Liu Wei frowned after listening.
When the helicopter was in search and rescue just now, no one else was found.
“Are you sure it was the squid who took your companion?” Liu Wei confirmed to him.
The man nodded, “Yes, it’s a squid, he has long tentacles!”
“You just said that you went to the sea to rescue him at the first time. It was unsuccessful. Later, you climbed on the sailing boat and found the satellite phone for help. This means you have been floating at sea for a night?”
The man nodded slightly, then raised his hand to Liu Wei’s arm, “You must find him, I want to take him back!”
It can be seen from the man’s eyes that he has prepared for the worst.
Liu Wei also felt that his companion should have died.
“Don’t worry, you have a good rest!” Liu Wei soothed, “I am Liu Wei, the captain of this ship. I will not give up the search and rescue work until the final result is obtained!”
“Thank you! Captain Liu Wei!”
Liu Wei nodded, returned to the splint again, and replied to the maritime rescue center by satellite phone, “This is the Dream, and I am Captain Liu Wei!”
“Received by the Maritime Rescue Center!”
“We have successfully rescued one wounded person, and another wounded person is missing. We will continue to carry out search and rescue work!”
Beep~~
There are several electric currents.
“Thank you! Captain Liu Wei!”
Liu Wei walked to the pilot, “Go back to the search and rescue area, and the search and rescue range has expanded to one hundred nautical miles!”
“Okay! Captain!”
Liu Wei put on equipment and got on the helicopter.
A picture emerged in his mind, a picture of a squid dragging away an adult.
According to the description of the wounded, it was a very large squid. According to the analysis of the known biological distribution range, Liu Wei’s thinking has targeted a large invertebrate-the king squid.
In fact, the king squid belongs to the pipe squid, also called the king squid.
Before humans were involved in such biological research, various rumors about it emerged endlessly.
For example: fight the sperm whale.
The king squid is the favorite food of sperm whales, but the two are not creatures of the same magnitude.
People over-exaggerated the fighting power of the King Squid and regarded it as a sea monster.
But if it is really an adult king squid, it is very easy to drag an adult away.
The daily life of the king squid is in the deep sea below two hundred meters. If another crew member is dragged into the deep sea, he must not be able to withstand the strong water pressure.
