Chapter 197 Calm Belt

Thinking of this, Li Meng hurriedly said: "213823, we can't go forward anymore, we must go to the land and turn immediately.

213823: "We are approaching the land, and there are still 34 nautical miles away from the land."

It seems that 213823 has already realized this and turned in advance.

I don't know if it is an illusion, the "click" sound is getting louder and louder.

Listening to the "click" sound, Li Meng couldn't help but get nervous.

Once the ice breaks and the ship enters the water, the No. 1 trade ship will be finished and will be trapped in the ice.

Maybe it was the blessing of the goddess of luck. Half an hour later, a horizon finally appeared in front.

Looking at the horizon that appeared in front of the bow, Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately...

Outside, under the rumbling boom With the sound of the horn, the huge Trade Ship No. 1 arrived at the coast.

When it was less than 200 meters away from the coast, it slowly turned and finally continued to drive south, close to the coastline, no more than 100 meters away from the coast.

After driving along the coastline for more than 20 kilometers, Trade Ship No. 1 suddenly stopped.

"Commander, Trade Ship No. 1 has arrived at Samar Island. The coastline is too tortuous and the water depth near the coast is not ideal. Once the ice breaks, Trade Ship No. 1 can also be immobilized. Through terrain scanning, a route with relatively flat terrain is found, which can be taken inland."

Li Meng saw the route mentioned by 213823.

There is a flat beach just 100 meters ahead, and the terrain inland is also relatively flat. Although undulating snow hills can be seen in the distance, it is uneven, but Li Meng believes in the power of technology.

Since 213823 said that it can go inland, it must be possible.

Li Meng said: "Don't ask me, just take the best route. "

Outside, with the rumbling sound of the engine, the huge No. 1 trade ship started moving again.

This time, it did not follow the coastline again, but turned right and rushed to the coast.

On the rugged snow, the No. 1 trade ship was moving slowly, very slowly, like a turtle crawling.

This is a big island, and the country to which it belongs does not pay attention to infrastructure at all, unlike in China, where roads can be seen everywhere.

While swaying, the No. 1 trade ship gradually went deep into the inland and continued to move south.

In the bridge, Li Meng also felt uncomfortable, and the swaying feeling was uncomfortable.

Curled up on the sofa, Li Meng yawned and felt quite bored.

It's just a small island, there shouldn't be any strange beasts, there's nothing to worry about.

Although the shaking feeling is not very comfortable, Li Meng is not a hypocritical person, nothing is unbearable.

This section of the road is longer than Li Meng imagined. After twisting and turning on the island, it was not until noon the next day that it arrived at the other end of the island.

In the dim sky and earth, on the coast, the No. 1 trade ship stopped.

In front, the endless sea blocked the way of the No. 1 trade ship.

The dark sea water, the densely packed moving ice floes, when the ice floes collided, the rumbling sound resounded through the world.

Taking a big bite of the meat pie in his hand, Li Meng whimpered: "Are there any other routes to take? ”

Intelligent Brain: "Leyte Bay is ahead. There are two routes to take. One is to return along the original route, cross the Southern Islands of the Philippines from the San Bernardino Strait, and enter the Sulu Sea. There is a narrow Palawan Island in the Sulu Sea, which should allow the No. 1 trade ship to transfer. The second route is to continue forward and forcefully cross the floating ice area. According to the density of the floating ice, the success rate is 70%. "

70% success rate?

After taking a bite of the meat pie, Li Meng asked: "What is the success rate of the first route?"

Intelligent Brain: "60%!"

Then there is nothing to hesitate. Li Meng said: "Let's go and move forward. "

As Li Meng's voice fell, outside, with the rumbling sound of the engine, the huge No. 1 trade ship moved and slowly entered the sea.

First the bow, then the hull, and finally the stern, the No. 1 trade ship moved very lightly and slowly.

Under the huge mass, the hull caused waves to push away the large and small ice floes.

Finally, the huge No. 1 trade ship successfully entered the water. Under the water, eight pairs of huge tracks were slowly retracted into the ship, and the huge propeller at the tail was turned on and turned. The thrust generated made the No. 1 trade ship slowly move forward, gradually leaving the coast and going deep into the sea.

The feeling of sailing on the water is completely different from the cleanness of walking on the ice.

The shaking is very slow, and people don't feel solid under their feet...

In the Leyte Bay, the huge No. 1 trade ship is in the ice floes. It was moving slowly forward, and wherever it passed, the sound of floating ice hitting the hull was endless.

When the sky gradually became darker, the No. 1 trade ship left the Leyte Bay and entered the Philippine Sea again.

As soon as it left the bay, a vast expanse of white snow appeared in Li Meng's eyes in the distance.

This made Li Meng's heart tighten. Did he encounter a thin ice area again?

But the No. 1 trade ship did not slow down, and it continued to move forward at a constant speed of about 30 kilometers per hour.

In Li Meng's eyes, the huge No. 1 trade ship crashed into the ice area.

Listening to the rumbling sound of the collision outside, Li Meng knew why 213823 did not slow down.

Because the ice layer of that snowfield was very thin, although the No. 1 trade ship was not an icebreaker, the nose of the bow was specially made of titanium alloy, which was hard enough to withstand a certain amount of frontal impact.

The further south you go, the higher the temperature will be. Don't worry about the ice getting thicker.

Five days later...

On the black sea, a huge ship is traveling at high speed.

It was noon. Li Meng was lying on the guardrail beside the ship, looking at the sea outside.

Not long ago, about two hours ago, the No. 1 trade ship left the thin ice area and entered the sea.

But the sea outside the thin ice area was very strange. The sea water was black and the sea surface was very calm, like a mirror. Standing at the side of the ship, Li Meng could not feel the slightest wind.

The dark clouds in the sky were still filling up, and there was no end in sight, but the colors of the world became brighter and brighter, and the sunlight above the clouds seemed to penetrate the clouds and swagger to the earth at any time.

The temperature was getting higher and higher. Although he was wearing a thin long-sleeved top and shorts, Li Meng did not feel cold.

The color of the water was not strange, but there was no wind at all, which was a bit strange.

Next to Li Meng was 666, who was wearing a black maid outfit. She stood quietly, her eyes never leaving Li Meng.

"666, why is there no wind?"

666 said softly, "Maybe it's close to the equator."

Is that so?

In Li Meng's memory, there are two windless belts on the earth, but it's obviously not here.

"Commander, look ahead..."

Ahead?

Standing up straight, Li Meng turned and looked in the direction of the bow.
