Refining Yang Outer Chapter 1

I'm really sorry, everyone. I drank two drinks a day today, and I drank a total of more than two catties of red flowers. Now it's spinning, and I really can't update it. I have to send the two chapters that I planned to write that Ding Yang was traveling through a different world. Please take a look and relieve boredom. There are still a few chapters in the future, and I will gradually upload them. I used to write this preface very carefully. Please understand! Thank you!

Chapter 1 Indian Ocean

In the Indian Ocean.

Late night, the darkness that can't be seen.

A 230-meter bulk cargo ship drove in the boundless darkness, leaving a long and invisible wave behind it. The sound of the ship's turbine is abrupt and harsh even in the most complicated downtown area, but it is silent in the boundless sea.

Temperature: 39℃, Humidity: 80, 3. Wind force 2-3, wind direction southeast,

Electric compass: 198°, magnetic compass: 195°, compass difference: 3°, heading 198°, 3° south latitude, 63° west longitude.

Everything is fine. 0100 hours

Second mate: Wang Zhi on duty sailor: Ding Lei

Wednesday, June 15, 2010.

After writing the logbook, Wang Zhi put down the pen, dimmed the light on the chart table, lifted the thick curtain between the cab and the chart room and walked to the cab.

There is no light in the cab, only some navigation instruments emit green light.

From the illuminated Haitu room to the cab, Wang Zhi's eyes were still dark. He closed his eyes and shouted, "Thirteen, where are you?"

"How many times have I told you? Don't call me thirteen. You're only thirteen." A loud and young voice sounded dissatisfiedly, and a dark shadow stood on the water guide chair next to the radar.

"Hey hey, I didn't wake you up. Isn't it Lao San who shouted, so I shouted." Wang Zhi smiled. But it's only Lao San's head that can come up with it, Ding Lei. Three stones of Lei, three stones, in turn, stone three, thirteen, haha!"

The shadow didn't answer his words and was silent for a moment, "Second, you stare at it. I'm going to cook noodles. Are you still two bags?"

On the starboard side of the two floors down from the cab is the restaurant of this "Manhai" ship, and the lights in the corridor are on.

Ding Lei came down from the upstairs. He was slightly thin under the light. He was about 175cm tall, with short hair and a slightly dark face. He seems to be a very ordinary young man in all aspects, but the only difference is that his eyes are a little sharp.

Ding Lei came to the door of the restaurant. The door was closed. He twisted the door handle and the door was locked.

He put his ear to the door and listened, and there was a faint sound inside.

Ding Lei frowned, raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.

Bang bang bang!

About half a minute, the door opened, revealing a fat round face. The originally white face rose red, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

With a slightly embarrassed round face, he smiled at Ding Lei, "Ding Lei, it's you. Why is it too late to cook noodles today? I thought you had eaten earlier.

Ding Lei ignored him and walked directly into the restaurant. His round face followed him nervously and also came in.

Ding Lei suddenly turned around and his round face jumped, and his face suddenly turned redder. Ding Lei's originally serious face suddenly smiled: "Hey hey, 'Gang Wu', don't be nervous, go on, continue."

The round face jumped: "What do you mean, Ding Lei, I didn't do anything, but I was hungry. Come and cook a bowl of noodles. What are you thinking about? Also, what's 'Gang Wu'? My name is Wu Guozhi, okay? In the future, you have to call me 'Gang Wu' and I'll turn against you.

Ding Lei curled his lips and said, "O-yo-yo-yo, I haven't done anything yet. Remember, the next time you do something bad, you will bump into someone to turn off the DVD player first. What's the use of turning off the TV first? There is still a performance there."

With his mouth, before Wu Guozhi reacted, he had arrived at the TV in front of the restaurant and reached out to turn on the TV switch.

A banana-shaped object suddenly appeared on the TV screen, and the other end of the banana was a messy black weed. "My day, it's still a close-up. This guy is also a super-large." Ding Lei raised his thumb.

"Hey!' Guan Wu, who is bigger than yours and his?

Looking at Wu Zhiguo's fleeing back, Ding Lei shook his head and smiled. Although life on the ship was boring and monotonous, it was not the place to isolate people after all. I often come to the port, and there are also some entertainment facilities on the ship, such as table tennis, fitness equipment, video players, etc. Everyone's life is also quite fulfilling.

Only a lustful man like 'Gun Wu' will often have a super-friendly relationship with his hands to entertain himself and adjust his life.

What's more amazing is that even if people have this hobby, they all have a notebook to enjoy it in their own room. This kind of guy who waits until late at night and people fall asleep until they run to the public restaurant STARTGAME is really rare.

I'm speechless! It's the best!

Ding Lei sat on the pot on the electric stove in the boiling water room next to him, waiting for the water to boil. As soon as he pushed the kitchen door, it was also locked. He took out a wire about 5 cm long from his trousers pocket and reached into the lock of the door lock. With a lift, the handle is twisted, and the door opens.

I pulled out a sausage from the kitchen refrigerator, and the spare ribs left over from the first day's dinner. I grabbed another handful of coriander, came out, and locked the door with a wire (the lock on the ship must be locked with a key).

The water in the outside pot has boiled. Ding Lei tore open the packaging bag of instant noodles, took out the seasoning bag and put it aside, and put the dough cakes into the pot one by one.

It's already 1:30 at night. Everyone in the living area is sleeping, and the sound of the turbine in the cabin is louder than during the day.

Ding Lei's face suddenly changed. He listened carefully, as if there were some other sounds in the voice just now. He seriously wanted to identify it, but the sound disappeared again.

Ding Lei took out the walkie-talkie from the back pocket of his trousers and said to the microphone, "The second brother! Have you received it?"

For a moment, Wang Zhi's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Received! What's the matter?"

"I really want to hear an abnormal sound. You can see what's going on from the driver's desk."

After a while, Wang Zhi's slightly joking voice came from the walkie-talkie: "It's okay. Everything is normal. What's the matter, thirteen, what did you hear... Did you hear the sound of gunfire... It must be that you didn't sleep in the middle of the night... Did you have a super-friendly relationship with your hands... I said that young people are inexperienced... How can you be happy before working late... The best time should be after work, and have a good sleep... That feeling..."

Ding Lei took a breath with a toothache and quickly adjusted the sound button of the walkie-talkie to the minimum, interrupting the second officer Wang Zhi's chatter.

It's really awesome. Why does this ship come across these best things? The lethality of Wang Zhi's broken mouth is higher than the aunts of the street neighborhood committee in life.

The noodles are ready. Ding Lei is holding the pot, the lid is covered with the back, and the sausages and ribs from the kitchen are put on the lid of the pot.

When he walked to the stairs upstairs, a shadow suddenly rose in Ding Lei's heart. His scalp exploded and his hair stood upside down.

A dark shadow stood quietly in the shadow at the corner of the stairs. Ding Lei held the pot in his hands and kicked it sideways. The black image had been on guard for a long time, and he dodged this kick as soon as he retreated.

"Wow! Ding Lei, your feet are so fast that you almost can't avoid it. Fortunately, I have been on guard. The black shadow shouted, and the man also came out of the light.

"You are crazy, 'Gang Wu'! Why don't you sleep in the middle of the night and stand in the shadow like a ghost? Fortunately, it's me. If someone else's pot of noodles will fly over, I promise to let you break your face. Don't want to marry a daughter-in-law, so that you can enjoy yourself for the rest of your life. |

Wu Guozhi shook his head proudly and said, "Haha, I'll scare you. Who made you bad just now? I'm on duty today. Come on, I'm scared of you. I'm on duty in the cabin.

Ding Lei was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry. This guy waited outside for a long time to scare himself. He really didn't know what to say about him.

The cabin of this "Manhai" cargo ship belongs to the unattended automatic alarm cabin. There is no need for someone to be on duty at the cabin site for 24 hours. The cabin duty personnel can usually go to bed after midnight. This guy is still wandering in the corridor at 1 or 2 o'clock in the morning. He is definitely over-energy and I don't know how to vent. No wonder he ran to the restaurant in the middle of the night to "solve" by himself.

On the driver's platform, Ding Lei and Wang Zhi had had supper. Wang Zhi leaned against the water guide chair in front and picked his teeth. Ding Lei put aside the tableware they had eaten and took them down together when they got off work. The first mate, Gao Jianguo, is very easy-going and has a good relationship with them. If you change to other first mates, you can't do this.

After cleaning up, Ding Lei went to the radar to see the sea conditions. Now the sea surge is not large, and the left and right shakes no more than 5°. The amplitude is very small. The sea is calm, and the radar is also very quiet, and there are not many miscellaneous reflection points.

Wang Zhi took a compass for drawing charts, put it into his mouth with the tip of the compass, and fought with something in his teeth that I didn't know whether it was shredded meat or shredded coriander. He accidentally exerted hard, and the tip of the compass inserted his tongue, and he hissed cold air in pain.

Wang Zhi quickly took the compass out of his mouth and hissed with his tongue: "This damn... the words "compass" and "compass" have not yet come out of his mouth. Ding Lei, who was staring at the screen in front of the radar, suddenly rushed out to the string bridge on the right, extremely fast, like a stringed clockwork suddenly breaking a piece of ejection. And it's the same.

Wang Zhi's mouth opened wide, and the rest of the words came to his mouth and swallowed it again. Ding Lei's sudden startled him. Before he made fun of Ding Lei as usual, Ding Lei rushed to the right string bridge and looked down, and then turned his head to him, making an earth-shaking exclamation, which directly made Wang Zhihun The muscles are instantly stiff.

"Huh the alert! Pirates--"

Chapter 2 Pirates

When Ding Lei shouted out the words that shocked his mind instantly and his body became stiff, Wang Zhi's first reaction was:

Ding Lei is joking.

Indeed, this is too impossible. Although Somali pirates are very fierce now, all international commercial ships are in danger, so that countries with some strength in the world have sent warships to join the "convoy formation" to ensure the safe and smooth passage of merchant ships passing from Somali waters. All merchant ships that plan to pass through from the nearby sea can go together as much as possible, so that they can pass safely with the help of the escort of warships.

After all, the number of warships cannot be more than that of merchant ships, and once a warship has to be escorted through, it is necessary to escort the protected merchant ship out of the dangerous area, and the speed of merchant ships is much slower than that of warships, so it takes less than ten hours or two days to escort a warship at a time. In this case, if a warship escorts a merchant ship, it is obviously a waste of resources.

So on the Indian Ocean in the 21st century, there was a list posted by the local government on a famous hill in Shandong during the Song Dynasty of China: "Yanggu County has a new big bug on this Jingyanggang, which has recently hurt people's lives. Seeing that today's staff is limited to the townships and hunters, etc., they have not been captured. If you have been a guest or a businessman, you can go through the hill in the past three hours. For the rest of the time and single guests, they are not allowed to cross the hill during the day. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to be hurt. Everyone should know."

The raging pirates in Somalia are much more powerful and fierce than the tigers in Yanggang, which have been in the future for hundreds of years. Commercial ships in various countries can only learn from the merchants hundreds of years ago and go through the Gang in different time periods.

However, the route of the "Manhai" cargo ship is basically far away from the waters of Somalia, and relatively speaking, the pirates in the world, whether they are the long-standing pirates of the Caribbean or the pirates of Malacca, are more tolerant of Chinese ships. Generally, they do not attack Chinese merchant ships, but target more. Most of them are on the ships of some developed countries in Europe and the United States.

This phenomenon makes some European and American countries very angry, but they are also helpless. You can't have a problem with them just because pirates don't attack them.

In fact, there are many deep reasons for this, but people generally recognize it for two reasons: First, the issue of international reputation. China has a lot of assistance to some backward countries, and compared with some developed countries to carry out the so-called "aid" with a very strong interest. China's motivation is very simple. In this way, China's reputation is still better in the hearts of the citizens of many poor countries, and most of the international pirates come from this kind of countries.

Second, in terms of the benefits generated by the attack, the benefits of robbing ships from developed countries are also the same as those obtained by robbing ships from some developing countries. The treatment of crew members in some countries in Europe and the United States is very high, and sometimes even the most ordinary sailor on their ship earns more than the captains in developing countries. When pirates are not to kidnap people and the whole ship, but to grab some valuable property, ships in some developing countries such as China are naturally not favored by pirates.

Therefore, when the route of the "Manhai" ship is far away from the area where piracy incidents are frequent, the leadership on the ship is still relatively relieved. Two days ago, several crew members were arranged to patrol the deck at night, and they have been safe and sound. In addition, today the ship has When it comes to the British Chagos Islands, everyone's hearts are back to their stomachs, and the following route is a safe journey.

So when Ding Lei shouted "pirate", Wang Zhi thought that Ding Lei was really a prank just to scare him.

And what can support Wang Zhi's view is that it is very dark tonight. There is no starlight on the sea. There is a distance of nearly 20 meters from the string bridge to the sea. Ding Lei did not turn on the spotlight when he looked down. Normally, normal people can never see anything on the sea.

However, what annoyed Wang Zhi was that Ding Lei shouted too loudly. Although it was really outside the living area, the crew did not sleep very heavily. Such a loud voice can easily wake up some crew members. If the captain is woken up, it would be bad. The captain's insomnia is very serious. He has to take sleeping pills every day to fall asleep. If he is woken up in the middle of the night, he will definitely scold Ding Lei, and he will definitely be affected. He can't run away with a scolding.

Thinking of Captain Tian Guixin's big black face, Wang Zhi shrank his neck and was about to stop drinking Ding Lei. Something even more shocking happened to him.

After Ding Lei shouted, he did not pause for a second. When Wang Zhi blinked his eyes, he had rushed back to the cab. In Wang Zhi's incredible eyes, he pressed the red emergency button in the upper left corner of the clock platform.

A bleak sound of sirens sounded in the corridors of the empty living area. Except for various exercises, this kind of alarm is not allowed to be triggered casually. Once triggered, it means that something big things have happened. If there is no accident and the alarm is triggered, it is a relatively serious accident, which has a great impact and cannot be easily afforded by anyone.

"Ding Lei! You are crazy!"

Wang Zhi was scared to death by Ding Lei, and his face turned blue. He was really scared.

But Wang Zhi's face turned white immediately, which was not scared by Ding Lei. He saw Ding Lei take up several empty wine bottles in the box on the string bridge and throw them hard towards the sea below, and then there was an explosion like a firecracker below.

It's gunfire! It's really a pirate.

Wang Zhi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom with the sound of gunfire. It was really a pirate. After running for 10 years, the ship had never met a pirate. How could he have passed the dangerous area this time and encountered pirates in the most unlikely place to encounter pirates. God! Are these pirates crazy? It's so close to the Chagos Islands.

However, at least he has been trained in anti-terrorism for many years. Wang Zhi's distraction lasted for a while, but his life was still important. He didn't have time to be afraid here. He shouted at the microphone of the loudspeaker:

"Get up, everyone! There are pirates! There are pirates!"

While hitting the steering wheel, the left rudder is full! The relatively obvious speed of the bow shifted to the left, and Wang Zhi suddenly steered back, and the right rudder was full! Using a large rudder angle to make the ship shake at a large angle is a common way to get rid of small pirate ships, which can also have a good effect in many cases.

Ding Lei continued to throw empty bottles at the pirate ship sticking to the starboard of the ship, but with the shot just now, his current movements have been very hidden. He hide behind the guardboard of the string bridge as much as possible. In this way, the accuracy of the bottle he throws is much worse, and he doesn't know that the bottles are all Where did you throw it?

The lights outside the "Manhai" wheel living area are all "Wh!" It had to be lit up. Under the light, you could see a fast boat about 30 meters long close to the starboard sea of the ship. The ship looked a little strange. The whole body showed a blue and faint reflection. The boat was spindle-shaped and the two ends were very pointed.

The ship is tightly attached to the starboard side of the "Manhai" ship. The waves and surges in the sea roar, and it can't separate it from the hull of the big ship, as if it were a magnet firmly adsorbed to the steel shell of the "Manhai".

There are seven or eight black figures shaking on the deck of the ship, and several people hold a long guy in their hands. They can't see whether it is an automatic rifle or a slight rush.

Ding Lei half squatted behind the string bridge guard, poked out half of his head and glanced at it, and quickly withdrew his head.

Damn it! What is that? Is that a boat?

The sleeping crew members were awakened. The first reaction was whether it was a drill or a prank. There was still the anger in their hearts of being woken up from a beautiful dream. When they realized that this was not an exercise, they turned into deep fear. After all, not everyone has encountered a pirate attack. People living in peaceful times have not been in their bones for a long time. The ability to deal with sudden hazards.

However, fear belongs to fear. You still have to find a way to fight for your own life. People reluctantly suppress the fear of fear, or quickly get used to the anti-terrorism drill that was almost rushed out of the sky with fear just now. According to their own responsibilities, they run to store it in a mess. Warehouses of fire axes, dragons, iron bars, etc.

Liu Yujiang, a chef from Henan, is responsible for holding a sharp weapon to destroy the flying claw rope used by pirates to board the ship. Liu Yujiang, who weighs nearly 200 pounds, took a long knife and stepped out of the port side door of the living area. He saw two steel claws on the railing of the right string wall, and the ropes connected behind the steel claws. It was tight and trembling.

Liu Yujiang's heart also trembled. Someone below was climbing up along the rope. He didn't know where he had climbed. He gritted his teeth, looked at the knife in his hand, rushed to the railing, and looked at the rope at the end of the flying claws.

Dang! Mars splashes everywhere.

Worse! I was too nervous to cut it. The knife did not cut the rope, but cut it on the steel claws. Liu Yujiang's head was covered with sweat.

"Lao Liu, aim and cut!" Behind him, the voice of the first mate Gao Jianguo, ran out of the living area with a signal gun in his hand. He shouted at the other crew members, "You quickly connect Pilong and flush them with water!"

Liu Yujiang didn't care about wiping the sweat on his head and cut it off again.

There are more and more crew members on the deck. People have a variety of tools in their hands, including fire axes and hooks and sickle guns. Everyone gathered on the main deck on the first floor and the life-saving deck on the second floor. Although people still have a frightened look on their faces, the fear seems to fade a little when there are more people.

Grand mate Gao Jianguo shouted at them urgently: "Don't squeeze together, spread out, spread out."

The dragon finally came out of the water. The high-pressure water dragon shot from the bottom of the deck like a long stick, but the pirate ship was so close that the angle of the water dragon could not be vertically shot, and a large column of water hit the sea.

"Close to the railing and shoot straight down!" Captain Tian Guixin appeared on the deck. He had sent an emergency and no-risk distress signal. The rest was to try his best to prevent the pirates from boarding the ship and try to delay the rescue.

The captain grabbed the dragon in the hand of sailor Chen Zhixiang and rushed to the front of the railing. He squatted down and rushed down the head of the fire gun on the leather faucet. The sea water rushed out of the high-pressure pump roared out of the head of the gun cast by brass, and rushed to the deck of the ship below.

The people in the boat dispersed to one side, but two people still did not dodge. They were washed straight by the high-pressure water column and overturned on the deck.
