Two Thousand One Hundred and Eighty-Two 1 Road to the South

Chen Cheng quickly packed up the tools on the seabed, put the last bit of ore into a bag, and arranged for the bag to float.

After all the bags full of ore have floated to the surface, all the robots will start to float up in sequence.

The whole process took more than an hour in total. After all, I have had many experiences of division of labor and cooperation.

So everyone knows what to do when this happens.

Although we all knew that those ships were bad people, everyone completed their work step by step.

All the robots were recovered and boarded, and the fleet was not in a hurry to set off, but to carry out some inspections.

And the staff on the ship need more robots to wash.

After working in the deep sea, the recovery of the robot must be washed immediately, otherwise the corrosion caused by the deep sea water will seriously damage the service life of the robot.

After the flushing is completed, the robot returns to its position and is fixed.

The time is tight today, and it is too late to carry out daily maintenance of the robot.

At this time, the boats on the sea began to group.

Walking in the forefront is a 100,000-ton freighter, followed by the Tianjing, and then the Liaofa Sea Farm.

At the back is the mining ship Swan, which is the same mining ship as the Sky Whale.

Behind the Swan, there is another freighter with Hugang 101, and the one at the front is Hugang 102.

These two freighters have not been fully loaded yet, but now is not the time to continue mining, and they must set sail.

The speed of the freighter was not fast, and several ships just followed behind No. 102 and started slowly.

But to everyone's surprise, the ship did not return all the way to the north, but went all the way to the south.

The place where they were located was originally near the Tropic of Cancer. After crossing that line, it was getting closer and closer to the South Pole.

The waters near Antarctica have not been peaceful recently...

In recent decades, the glaciers in Antarctica have been melting continuously, and about the melting of glaciers.

There are also many claims on the market now, and many environmentalists will say that this is all because of too much carbon dioxide produced by humans.

caused the greenhouse effect, which caused the earth's temperature to rise.

But actually?

In fact, it is an active volcano under the sea near the Antarctic, which has been particularly active in the past ten years.

The continuous eruption of these volcanoes has caused the sea temperature to rise.

The increase in seawater temperature has caused some glaciers near the Antarctic continental shelf to continue to melt.

However, there is not much news in this regard, because people don't care what happens under the sea thousands of miles away.

Recently, the reason why they took root and mining nearby is because of the volcanic ash spewed out by the continuous eruption of submarine volcanoes.

After turning into volcanic mud, it will float to the seabed of this generation.

And these volcanic ash are the best rare earth mineral resources that contain a lot of rare metal elements.

In the past three months, Chen Cheng once earned 200,000 yuan a month by collecting these rare-earth mines rich in rare metals.

Therefore, he is quite emotional about the sea area of ​​this generation.

It is precisely because of their familiarity with this generation of waters that their fleet chose to go south all the way.

The reason for this is because they know that if they go directly north, the way to the north must have been blocked by those pirates.

So instead of getting into the traps they arranged, it is better to choose the sea area that they are familiar with and deal with them.

You must know that the southernmost part of the Indian Ocean, which is close to the Antarctic, is the most frightening part of the sea.

Like the Arctic Ocean, the climate here is complex, the weather is complex and changeable, and even very violent. Valley

A minute ago, it might be sunny and sunny, and a minute later, it might be a storm.

Therefore, such a complex environment is very beneficial to these large ships.

You must know that in their fleet, the tonnage of the ships basically starts at 100,000 tons.

Against such high winds and waves, their ships have an inherent advantage.

And those pirate ships, because they have to pay attention to speed, are generally not large in tonnage.

If they encounter strong winds and waves, they will definitely be unlucky.

The fleet followed No. 102 all the way to the south, and according to radar and satellite cues, went another 100 nautical miles south.

There was a big storm forming over there, and as long as they got under the cumulonimbus clouds, those pirate ships wouldn't dare to get too close to them.

So they drove slowly to the south.

At this time, those pirate ships could also see that they were rapidly approaching them.

Obviously, the other party either has a radar installed on the ship, or there is a satellite to inform them.

They also knew the movement of the fleet, and in order to be able to block the fleet, they obviously accelerated.

After chasing for more than two hours, the pirate ships finally saw the giant ship in the distance.

When they saw the ship, these pirates were excited, and each and everyone shouted strangely to speed up the ship.

Several black men on the boat pulled out the AK47 from the cabin at this time, and a shuttle came towards the sky.

The purpose is very clear, that is, to warn the fleet ahead, and quickly stop for me.

But don't wait for us to catch up to board the boat, you will be left with nothing to eat by then.

After about an hour or so, it was already dark.

At this time, it is winter in the southern hemisphere, so it gets dark earlier in this area.

At this time, the freighter fleet in front suddenly slowed down.

This excited the pirates behind, who thought that the ships must have malfunctioned.

After all, a ship of this size was not designed for speed.

Generally, such cargo ships like to travel at an economical speed on the sea, but this fleet has been sailing on the sea at high speed for several hours.

Such long-term high-speed driving, their power system will definitely not be able to stand it.

The three pirate ships made a simple communication, then dispersed the finished sub-types and outflanked the fleet.

On the speedboat at the head, the big black man standing in the cockpit was swallowing his saliva with his binoculars.

Because he had heard from others a long time ago that there is a lot of gold on the cargo ships of the Dragon Kingdom.

Even if there is no gold, the ore on their ships is valuable...

Well, when these ships are captured, he will have to look for them.

It would be more comfortable if there were a few women from the Dragon Kingdom on the boat...

But just as they were getting closer and closer, suddenly the freighter in front began to turn.

Originally the ship was heading south, but suddenly the ship started to fight horizontally.

Then, when the whole hull was horizontally on the water, in front of several pirate ships, it posed a shape.

The following pirate ships are a bit confused. What does this mean?

Is this ship intending to sacrifice itself to buy time for the ships ahead to escape?

Haha, you are so naive...
