Chapter 597: Saving the Cargo Ship
The difficulty of operation was even skyrocketing; it was not only brain-consuming but also physically demanding, especially since every step forward required four gear levers to operate simultaneously. To move quickly, one had to push the gear levers non-stop.
After working for a long time, these Transformers were all fixed on the train. Watching the train go away, everyone also fell into deep emotion.
"Don't worry, our research center has dispatched the most advanced war weapons. They are all the main force; this time they will definitely achieve a flag-opening victory and return safely."
Zhuo Lin glanced at him with a look of contempt. Not to mention the stolen technology, the modifications were even more terrible. She didn't know how he had the face to say this.
It was a pity that Su Ye was not there, otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn to spout nonsense. She didn't know where he was now; there had been no news for almost two months.
And at this moment, Su Ye was using a chainsaw to cut the octopus. On that day, the octopus was bled dry by Su Ye and the others, and under its violent struggle, everyone also fell into a coma.
When the few woke up and turned on the professor's miner's lamp, they discovered they had been thrown into an unfamiliar environment. The rope had broken from the part connected to the harpoon, and the harpoon was long gone.
However, fortunately, the few were not seriously hurt except for some skin injuries. Finally, under Professor Bill's guidance, they found the position where the gill heart had been broken before.
The few climbed out from the octopus's ctenidia and swam to the surface of the sea. Looking out, it was a vast ocean, and the only thing that could give people a sense of security was the octopus under their feet.
The few climbed onto the octopus's head, and only then did they see how big the octopus was. Looking at the tentacles looming in the water with the ocean currents in the distance, the mountain-like bulge under their feet stood in the sea. If it were covered with grass and trees, it would be like a sea island.
When Su Ye thought of contacting the captain, he picked up the walkie-talkie only to find it had been damaged by seawater soaking.
Su Ye suggested that since the octopus had been solved, they should go to the ship to see, praying that the cargo ship would not have problems in such violent rolling.
Under Professor Bill's guidance, the group walked for several kilometers before finding the octopus's head under a thick tentacle.
They swam down and climbed in along the octopus's beak, until they entered the octopus's crop, and only then did they see the tilted ship body by the light on the ship.
Perhaps it was heaven's favor, the containers on the ship had almost all tilted into the digestive juices, but it was precisely because some containers were at the bottom that the cargo ship was able to survive.
Su Ye and the others shouted, attracting the attention of the crew, and everyone was pulled back by the lifeboat.
The captain wanted to hold a grand party for the few, but the group, having gone through several risks, was in urgent need of rest.
Although the terminal building was destroyed, the cabins below were well preserved, and the captain managed to squeeze out a few bedrooms for the heroes.
The next day, after discussing, everyone decided they still had to save themselves, so Su Ye led everyone to take the oil-powered chainsaw on the ship and began to divide the octopus.
It is worth mentioning that although this octopus was dead, its body was still so hard; it took two days to complete the modification of the ship's water channel.
This huge cargo ship running aground was basically a dead end, beyond human power.
Finally, Su Ye had a sudden inspiration. Since that was the case, why not use the octopus's crop as a dock and draw in water to make the cargo ship float by itself? After calculation, the few modified the narrow area of the octopus's neck, allowing the cargo ship to pass when the water flooded halfway.
"Su, do you think we will succeed? We are about to draw in water, and I feel a bit uneasy in my heart."
Su Ye put down the chainsaw in his hand, wiped the bloodstains on his face, and laughed:
"Haven't we already calculated it? And besides this, we have no other way. By the time others discover us, who knows how long it will be."
This made Su Ye feel emotional about the usefulness of Li Yimeng's ability; more complex calculations were even better than computers, providing data support for the cargo ship's launch.
"But?"
Seeing the captain hesitate at the final moment, Su Ye interrupted directly:
"There are no buts. This launch must succeed and cannot fail. It will be ready here soon, hurry up and call people to prepare."
Seeing Su Ye's determined attitude, the captain could only grit his teeth and board the ship to check one last time if there were any problems.
Everything was ready, and everyone began to pour in seawater. As seawater continued to flow in, the water in the crop was also increasing at a rate visible to the naked eye.
And as the seawater increased, the water flow became faster and faster. The few suddenly felt a violent shaking, and the water level also rose significantly.
Su Ye looked at this scene calmly and said: "Just as I thought, as the water flow increases, the octopus will also sink with gravity."
"The cargo ship is moving, Su, this ship is really rising! It's truly amazing, you are a genius!"
The water level below had reached the cargo ship's draft, and the cargo ship was also shaking violently.
"Captain, arrange the crew, the ship will rise immediately. As soon as the ship is leveled, we must go out.
If we cannot escape before it sinks to the seabed, everyone will only be buried underwater."
The captain nodded excitedly and conveyed instructions to the temporarily established communication system.
Sure enough, in less than half a minute, the cargo ship tilted upward violently. ===== CHAPTER 599 =====
