Chapter 384 Bold and Kind

  VHF radio station is a VHF radio transmission tool and an important tool that all ships must have.

  Because VHF radio waves can only be transmitted in a straight line, it is usually a distance of tens of kilometers to a hundred kilometers on the sea surface, and it is often a platform for some ships to communicate with each other.

  The VHF16 channel can be regarded as a public channel on the sea, and it is also a channel that can send distress messages and receive some notifications. According to requirements, this channel must be watched by someone.

   Just when they were about to go to the well-known coral group in front, they heard the distress signal in the channel, which really made people a little stunned and slightly unlucky.

  Only at sea, as long as a distress signal is received, rescue is required. This is a criterion accepted by normal sailors.

  If it is offshore, there will be a nearby search and rescue center for command and temporary dispatch. If you refuse to obey, you will even be punished accordingly.

   And at this moment, it all depends on the conscience. Obviously, the old captain is still a decent person, and he didn't give in because there were some second-generation sons on board.

   "Uncle Huang, didn't they use the satellite signal to call for help?"

  Zhou Wenjing got up from the sun chair helplessly, walked towards the cab, and asked the old captain.

  In addition to the VHF radio channel, ships at sea will naturally have related positioning and distress satellite signals, as well as satellite phones and so on.

   Several other people also came over one after another.

   "The satellite communication signal cannot be contacted. I just checked it. Our satellite communication signal is not connected, but the positioning system still has some signals. The AIS ship automatic identification system can roughly determine the other party's position."

  On the sea, occasional loss of satellite communication signals occurs from time to time, and various factors may affect it.

  However, both ships lost contact at the same time, which is really a bit surprising.

   "It's not far from us, about forty nautical miles."

   "Okay, there is nothing we can do for those in distress. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. When the time comes, take them to the port of Indonesia and put them down."

  Qin Xiang finally made a decision.

  The rich second generation of them are unscrupulous, but they are not the kind of characters who disregard human life.

   Even this kind of thing might be a hot search, Qin Dashao still quite likes this kind of feeling.

   "Uncle Huang, come here according to the rules. Are there other ships nearby? What happened to that ship? It's not completely dark yet, and the weather is not unusual. What kind of ship is it?"

  Zhou Wenjing also signaled the captain to come according to his ideas, and then asked again, at least to make sure that it is safe, not to encounter pirates or anything.

  Yes, they have bodyguards and guns on their side, and their combat power is quite strong, but they won't bump into them foolishly anyway.

"It's a medium-sized cruise ship departing from the Philippines. There are more than 300 people. They have already requested to go to an ocean-going squid fishing boat next to it. We squeeze the two boats together, which is barely enough. We will continue to maintain it during this period of time." Call, see if you can connect to the satellite or more ships nearby."

  The captain's words made several people's faces change, there are so many people.

  Although this "Mermaid" is a luxury yacht, it is 70 meters long and 12 meters wide, and there are several floors that are getting smaller and smaller. The design is very beautiful.

   But if there are hundreds of people coming up, it will definitely be uncomfortable, and it will definitely get dirty.

   "Okay, hey, there are so many ladies on board, when the time comes, they will stand on the deck and are not allowed to enter the inner cabin. Anyway, just send them to the shore."

  Zhou Wenjing sighed. It is impossible to arrange the rooms of the rescued people. Anyway, we will send them overnight at that time, so we can make do on the deck.

   Then he turned his head and said to Wang Yi and the others who had also come down

   "It seems that we can only hurry to the port tonight, and we must clean up by then."

   "You can arrange it."

  Wang Yi will not put forward other opinions. Although he can be very indifferent sometimes, he will not care if he can save hundreds of people by only slightly affecting some entertainment time.

   "Hearing what they said, it must have hit a rock. The hull has water leaks. The engine has broken down, but it should not sink in the short term. The ocean-going squid fishing boat is still going to sea empty, and many people can be on board."

  The captain could understand this group of second generations, and a smile appeared on his face.

  Then picked up the intercom connected to the VHF and continued to inquire about the situation of the cruise ship in English, and the reply was that it was fine for the time being, only a few injuries from falls and abrasions, and no serious injuries.

  As for the ocean-going squid fishing boat, it seems to have originally come from China, speaking in Mandarin with Hu Jian’s accent

   "How many vacancies can you spare on the 'Mermaid'? Our maximum is two hundred."

   "It shouldn't be a big problem for us to squeeze a little bit to a hundred."

   "That's good, oh, it's really bad, it's bad luck to encounter this kind of thing before it even opened."

  The communicator over there seemed to be complaining, not sure if it was the captain.

But even though they were talking and complaining, their speed was not slow, and the distance was closer. Following the chatter, they seemed to have seen the cruise ship that broke down, and then their voices came from the public frequency. sound

   "'Fengshun 168', how is your situation? It's getting dark, turn on the lights, it's dangerous to pick people up later."

  Just after hearing the voice from their side, the cruise ship over there did not respond, and did not respond for a long time.

   This is the case after asking several times in a row.

   "It can't be that there is something wrong with the power system, right? Don't they have a spare battery for the radio station? What a broken thing..."

   Then there were some cursing and complaining words from the fishing boat.

   "We'll go there first, come quickly..."

  After 'Hu Rongyu 038' reminded them, the boat slowed down and slowly approached.

  Although Captain Huang called Fengshun several times, he also received no response.

  As for the second generations, the bodyguards, and the beauties, they cleared the deck together, and they are ready to stand up at that time.

   There are still people taking pictures, Qin Xiang is going to post a video after going back.

  Anyway, when the time comes, they will all enter the cabin, let the group of refugees stand outside.

   It would be nice to save a life from a shipwreck!

  At this moment, the sun has slowly set to the sea level, and the sky is full of stars...

  …

   On the already pitch-black sea, a large fishing boat was breaking through the waves. The waves from the bow of the ship often washed up on the deck, and it seemed a little bumpy.

  'Hu Rongyu 038' is an ocean-going squid fishing boat that can go far into the ocean and has a tonnage of several thousand tons. Although it is not as good as a cruise ship that calls for help, the Cypriot people are not a big problem.

   It is still going to sea empty.

   "Come on the street, the lights are not turned on, I started to slow down, and I am going to turn off the engine, or I will crash into a blood loss."

  A strong man with a tanned skin, holding a binoculars in the dark night, vaguely saw the outline of the cruise ship in the distance, and gave an order.

  Although Liu Mou, the captain of 'Hu Rongyu 038', kept cursing, he still directed the ship to keep approaching, and he had already asked the crew to vacate the deck while on the way.

  Just kept getting closer, but he felt inexplicably that the cruise ship in front of him was lifeless, without any breath of life.

   No, shouldn’t survivors who have encountered a shipwreck wear life jackets and come to the deck to wait for rescue? Why is there no one on the deck?

  If he hadn't confirmed the number of the Fengshun, he would have suspected it was a ghost ship.

   "Satellite communication not working yet?"

Looking back at the operator again, the satellite phone only kept sending out some garbled sounds, and after calling a few times on the radio with no response, he finally gritted his teeth and let the boat approach, and at the same time picked up the walkie-talkie Said to the 'Mermaid' on the public channel

   "Dude, there is a problem. We are in front of them. They don't have any lights, and there are no ghosts. Can you contact the outside?"

   "No, there has been no signal, but we have contacted another yacht, but they are small yachts that can't accommodate a few people, but they are on their way now."

  Because of the limited contact range, what can be contacted by 'Mermaid' may not necessarily be able to be contacted by 'Hu Rongyu 038'. After all, there are coral reefs not far away, so it is normal to find another yacht.

   "Okay, it's good if someone is there, I'm going to take someone up to have a look, you keep in touch with us as much as possible, we will talk about what's going on, tsk~ bad luck."

   While saying 'Hu Rongyu 038', the engine had also been turned off, and began to rely on the ship's own inertia to slowly break through the water and move towards the side of the cruise ship.

  The approach of the two ships created a wave of waves on the sea between the two ships, hitting each other.

  The helmsman carefully kept a distance to avoid a direct collision.

  While driving side by side, I looked at the empty deck at a close distance, but as the distance got closer, the lights on the fishing boat began to hit the cruise ship.

   But I saw a lot of messy blood stains on the cabin wall on the deck of the cruise ship!

  Every floor has it!

  You can also see a dragging feeling of **** handprints.

   After seeing it clearly, Liu Mou and many crew members were shocked.

   "Fighting the street, didn't they encounter zombies? Why don't you tell us about the situation..."

  Thinking of this, he continued to signal the boat to approach, while holding the walkie-talkie to explain what happened here.

but…

   "I'd better take someone up first, we have spearguns and harpoons, and we will tell you if there is a situation..."

  ——
