The research ship is very strange, and the feeling of something wrong becomes more obvious after getting closer.

Except for two lights that were still on, the entire ship was pitch black. There were no lights on in the cabin, let alone any trace of people.

It stands to reason that although the orange signal light is on, it means that the energy is exhausted, but it also means that there is still the last remaining energy to maintain the stability of the ship. The engine is on, and the research ship should not drift to such a place.

But now the position of the research ship has shifted by nearly one nautical mile. This is only after they arrived in time to catch up. This is already far greater than the stable offset of the engine.

"Captain and the others, something happened to them, right?" Xu Yaqiu looked solemn.

"Probably not. The ship hasn't capsized. Even if the energy is completely exhausted, they can survive for several days with spare supplies in the cabin, not to mention there are fishing devices and desalination devices on the ship."

To put it simply, any special ship can be a good survival ship in the hands of someone with some survival experience, even if it has no energy at all.

From this point of view, maybe the people on the research ship may have just hid in the cabin for some reason.

"I saw a damage on the hull. It may be that the energy leaked due to hitting the rocks." Yan Yonghe observed for a while and said, "Let's move closer. The research ship may not be able to load energy now, so we have to tow it. go back."

It is not difficult to achieve this with the tonnage and power of the rescue ship.

But what’s difficult now is the environment. Even though the waves on the sea have reduced a bit, the ship’s rolling amplitude is still not low. If you are not careful when approaching the past, it may cause a collision between the hulls - the harm of a rigid collision is comparable to that of a soft wave like a wave. Much more.

This situation requires superb boat driving skills.

"I'll try..." Xu Yaqiu squeezed the joystick nervously.

But suddenly another voice appeared behind her, with a bit of doubt: "Well... if you still want to sail the ship at this time, then what is the point of entrusting me to come here."

"Huh? When did you come up?" Yan Yonghe was startled. Xu Yaqiu was so focused on sailing that he didn't see anything. He didn't hear anything at the stairwell of the two-story cabin.

"I came up when you shouted that you saw the boat." Luo Huai spread his hands and continued to ask, "So what? Where do you need my help next? Driving the boat, or throwing the hook outside. Anything is fine."

"Then you'd better sail the boat." Yan Yonghe said immediately.

They only knew that Luo Huai had the highest-level ship license. Other than that, they could not feel any energy fluctuations from Luo Huai. There was no doubt that the dangerous winds and waves outside were not suitable for this young man.

"Are you okay?" Xu Yaqiu asked a little worriedly. After all, she had never really seen Luo Huai's boating skills.

"No problem." Luo Huai took over the moment she released the joystick, then changed places with her and sat in the driver's seat.

For a moment, whether it was an illusion or not, Xu Yaqiu and Yan Yonghe felt that the ship was more stable. This feeling was like increasing the power of the ship's stabilizing engine.

Do you want to be so exaggerated... Is this why it is so difficult to take the exam for the highest-level ship certificate? With such a high level of value, it is no wonder that neither of them has ever passed the exam.

By the way, they are both pilots in the team and are proficient in land and sea amphibious vehicles, but they do not have the most advanced ship certificate. This kind of ship certificate is usually only qualified for crew members with many years of experience.

But no matter what, it is always a good thing that the ship can be stable in such wind and waves, which makes them more confident when they go out to work outside the cabin.

However, in fact, although Luo Huai's control of the ship was indeed good, the real reason why the ship suddenly became stable was that he gave the hull a durable temporary enchantment and then used the saved energy to stabilize the engine.

"Master, just let me come." Little Alice did not show up, but she could still be heard complaining in his ear.

Her tone sounded like a child who wanted to show off but had no chance.

But indeed, when it comes to boating skills, you have to be an intelligent girl like Little Alice, who is not only good at boating, but also has great boating skills, and there is no need to use such tricky methods.

Let’s talk about the outside.

Yan Yong and the other two went down to the bilge and put on life-saving suits, then came back up carrying two large bundles of ropes.

With the strong winds and waves outside, even job agents have to be careful.

"I'm going to open the door." Both of them stood at the back door of the cockpit. When Yan Yonghe opened the door, they rushed out together and then closed the door immediately. Luo Huai only heard the sound of wind and rain rising and falling suddenly, and the brush on the back of his neck. A layer of moist moisture, and a bit salty.

The deck outside the cabin and the cabin are completely two worlds.

When Yan Yong and the two of them came out, they were hit by countless raindrops and couldn't hold their heads up. The slanting rainwater splashed in their eyes, making it impossible to open them.

In desperation, we can only use energy to isolate rainwater. As expected, any extreme environment will lead to increased energy consumption.

After seeing the situation clearly, they found the silhouette of the research ship again in the undulating sea. The bad news was that the research ship was still drifting farther and farther away, and there was a huge wave between the two ships. , ups and downs, like being on both ends of a seesaw.

"Luo Huai, can you get closer?" Yan Yonghe asked through the intercom.

"Okay." Luo Huai's reply was affirmative, which made him feel inexplicably relieved.

The next moment, the rescue ship began to sail in the waves. The two subconsciously grabbed the guardrail, a little nervous, but the hull was very stable. It moved diagonally along the transverse waves of the waves, avoiding the risk of hitting the research ship after getting close. It approached the past slowly but steadily.

Until we reached a very close distance, only about twenty or thirty meters.

"It's now!"

Xu Yaqiu fired the hook launcher on the stern deck, which seemed like a device only found on pirate plundering ships.

Unfortunately, the situation on the research ship is unclear and no one can come out to respond. As a result, the hook rope cannot be connected to the solid deck immediately and can only be hooked to the edge guardrail first.

However, this also brought the distance between the two ships closer. Then Yan Yonghe removed the rope from his body, picked up the hook lock at the end of the rope and threw it out.

As more ropes were hung on the two ships, the two became more and more stable with each other. Finally, Yan Yonghe jumped onto the deck of the research ship and fastened the hooks to the correct position. Only then was the research ship considered stable. was towed behind the rescue boat.

Turning around and making a "done" gesture, Xu Yaqiu on the other end finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's done." Luo Huai, who heard what was said on the intercom, drove the boat and prepared to leave the sea.

On the other end, Yan Yonghe did not jump back, but chose to enter the cockpit of the research ship to see what happened...
