Chapter 364: Trimaran

"Who is that?" Yang Meng asked Xiao Peng when he drove the boat close to the accident site.
Xiao Peng shook his head and put down the telescope in his hand: "I don't know who it is, but I can be sure that they are crazy people!"
"En? What do you say?" Yang Meng puzzled.
"What's so special is a sailboat! Trimaran! No matter who it is, driving a trimaran across the Bering Sea, or else an idiot, or a lunatic." Xiao Peng cursed.
Yang Meng stunned, "Do you mean Guo Chuan's kind of trimaran?"
Xiao Peng nodded, and Yang Meng was silent for a while, speeding up his speed: "What a madman Nima!"
Guo Chuan, the first professional sailing man in China. To be precise, he has too many first titles, such as the first Asian to complete the Volvo Ocean Open, the first Chinese solo sailing across the English Channel, etc.
There are two of his greatest achievements. One is the Chinese man who completed 138 days at sea and completed the great career of single-person uninterrupted sailing around the world. At the same time, he created the 40-foot-class single-person uninterrupted sailing around the world recognized by the International Sailing Federation. world record.
The other is to carry teammates, creating the world record for the first time in the history of human navigation that sailing sailing through the Northeast Channel of the Arctic Ocean driven by wind without interruption and without supply.
Whether at home or internationally, Guo Chuan is a well-known navigator.
Of course, as the proverb says, everyone who drowns knows water. Guo Chuan was also in the last 20 days of the challenge to cross the Pacific Ocean in a single person. The sailing boat broke down near Hawaii and died of a shark attack after falling into the water. When he was killed, he was driving a trimaran.
Of course, this is definitely not a bad trimaran. When he crossed the Northeast Passage of the Arctic Ocean, he also used this ship.
To Guo Chuan, Xiao Peng's evaluation is: this is a great lunatic. However, Xiao Peng could only comment on the ship in front of him: "This is a bunch of stupid lunatics!" This ship obviously wants to cross the Bering Sea. In this season, use a sailboat to cross the Bering Sea? It's better to find a large weighing weight of hundreds of catties tied to your neck and jump into the sea! Apart from looking for death, Xiao Peng couldn't find a second time to describe this behavior!
Yang Meng drove the Vladimir through the wind and waves to approach the accident site. A huge trimaran appeared in front of Xiao Peng, and saw it bumping up and down with the waves. Fortunately, it was a trimaran, which was known for its stability. Other ships capsized. Turned over long ago.
"This is not only a lunatic, but also a prodigal." Xiao Peng exclaimed. This turned out to be a super trimaran of the same model as Guo Chuan's trimaran! With a length of nearly 30 meters and a width of 17 meters, it is the largest model among all trimarans. As far as Xiao Peng knows, there are only six such sailing boats in the world, but I have never heard of this one. Obviously this is the seventh one. The overall hull is made of carbon fiber, which is lighter, which makes the sailing speed faster.
This kind of ship will not stop as long as it leaves the port and can only sail at high speed. Only in this way can the safety and maneuverability of the ship be guaranteed if it stops. . . . . . Guo Chuan is a good example.
"Can you see how many people are on the boat?" Yang Meng cautiously drove the Vladimir close to the sailing ship.
Xiao Peng lay down in front of the glass window and watched carefully: "Damn, no one is seen on the deck, hasn't it fallen into the sea to feed the fish? I'm sure, this is an idiot!"
"Why do you say that?" Yang Meng asked.
Xiao Peng cursed and said, "I still need to ask if it's so special? It's not the first time to lower the sails and lower the mast in case of wind and waves. It makes the thunderstorm happy when it's unusual? Is the weather radar on their ship installed? Their gmdss signal? Is it a decoration? We all walked up to Made and did not receive a distress signal!"
When sailing, although the wind can only sail, but the wind is too strong, it is really not good. Usually, sailing is described as "riding the wind and breaking the waves", but the meaning here only means not afraid of difficulties and obstacles. Ride the wind and waves in reality? Small winds and small waves still make sense, and if there are big winds and waves, it's going to be death. When encountering wind and waves, the first thing a sailboat does is to set sail!
Yang Meng thought for a while and thought: "It should be the people on the ship who encountered an accident in the first place, and all of them fell into the water before sending a signal? Regarding the weather radar... Did you find that the storm was too late?"
Xiao Peng said: "The weather radar is still talking about the past, and it doesn't make sense to fall into the water. Forget it, no one is left anyway. Let's go."
"Is this boat going to be towed away?" Yang Meng looked at the trimaran with regret.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "If you want to take it away in such weather, it's a dream. Let's go, let's do everything we can."
Yang Meng nodded, adjusted his route, and prepared to continue northward.
At this moment, Xiao Peng felt that light was shining on himself: "Someone!" Xiao Peng looked along the light. In the trimaran, a light was shining on himself, sending a signal, one short, one long and one short, shining on himself regularly. This is the light expression of the distress signal sos in Morse code.
Xiao Peng took a binoculars and looked at it: "Mengzi, don't go now, there are survivors on board. In the cabin!"
Yang fiercely scolded, "Someone came to rescue them and didn't come out of the cabin. How afraid of the rain?"
Xiao Peng looked at it carefully, "I'm afraid it's not that they don't want to come out, but they can't come out. Their cabin door has been deformed, and it should be struck by lightning."
Yang Meng was speechless: "This Nima is so unlucky because of what he has done. Don't tell me that the two thunders just smashed it. If they are, they can go back and buy the largest lottery ticket in the world. I didn't die twice, but let us save it."
Xiao Peng didn't talk nonsense with Yang Meng and picked up the radio: "Niu Er, speed up to the cockpit! The rest of the people stay in the cabin honestly! Wang Hu, bring the safety rope!"
This kind of weather is not so powerful. Especially if you don't know how many survivors are on the opposite ship, it is better to come out with fewer people.
After a while, Niu Er and Wang Hu ran in: "Boss, what's the matter?"
"A ship was killed. It seems that I must board the ship for rescue. I have to go there. Niu Er, you will steer Yang Meng at the helm, Wang Hu, fix the safety rope and observe the rescue situation. Mengzi, you can drag me back depending on the situation. "Xiao Peng arranged.
Wang Hu said anxiously: "Boss, no, it's too dangerous. It's impossible to swim on that ship in such weather!"
"Don't be any nonsense, do as I said! Everything on this ship will listen to me!" When life was on the threshold, Xiao Peng did not hesitate.
"Yes." Hearing what Xiao Peng said, Wang Hu couldn't say anything. The division of labor was clear. Xiao Peng was tied with a seat belt, Wang Hu fixed a safety rope, and Yang Meng used a seat belt to secure himself At the side of the ship, he gave Xiao Peng a thumbs up.
Xiao Peng tried it. The seat belt and the safety rope were very strong. Xiao Peng took a deep breath and jumped into the sea.
Wang Hu was right. In such wind and waves, people will be swept by the waves when they hit the sea, and they don't know where they are going. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to reach the sailboat.
But Xiao Peng was different, and the effect of the vertical sea technique was manifested at this time: Despite the huge waves outside, the ocean current around Xiao Peng was very calm. Xiao Peng went downstream to the trimaran and climbed onto the trimaran.
Sure enough, as Xiao Peng had imagined, after the cabin door was struck by lightning, it was deformed and unable to open. But for Xiao Peng, it was nothing. When he used his force, he opened the cabin directly, and he entered the cabin in a group: "How many of you are there? I will save you in batches..."
Xiao Peng didn't finish speaking. because. . . . . There is only one person in the entire cabin, still a woman! The cabin was full of wine. I don't know if it was an accident caused by alcoholism, or whether I could not escape the situation caused by alcoholism.
The woman is holding a bright flashlight in her hand. It was just using it to send a distress signal
However, Xiao Peng couldn't manage that much, and the sailboat might be overwhelmed at any time. Xiao Peng grabbed the woman by the waist, clamped it under the armpit, and gave a thumbs up to the Vladimir cockpit. Then jump into the sea.
As soon as Xiao Peng entered the water, he only felt a strong pull. Yang Meng has dragged him onto the Vladimir.
Xiao Peng handed the woman to Yang Meng, and Yang Meng pulled her aboard. Xiao Peng himself climbed onto the Vladimir and shouted: "Okay, there is only one person on board, let's go!"
Niu Er heard this and launched the Vladimir.
The woman saw that the Vladimir was about to leave, and hurriedly shouted: "I have my ship! I beg you, don't go, my ship is still there!"
As a result, as soon as the woman finished speaking, a huge wave hit, and the trimaran could no longer support it. The whole ship broke from it, and the ship sank into the Bering Sea.
Xiao Peng shrugged: "It's fine now, your boat has sunk to the bottom. Give you a choice, do you go with us or go down with your boat?"
The woman watched the trimaran sink, and was also frightened, staring blankly at the sea where the trimaran sank. If Xiao Peng rescued her a few minutes later, she would also be buried in the bottom of the sea.
Xiao Peng dragged the woman into the cockpit. At this time, the deck was still too dangerous. Any wave could drive her into the seabed.
"Why are you alone on the boat? How about the others?" Xiao Peng asked the woman.
Wang Hu made her a cup of hot coffee. In this weather, the temperature of the sea in the Bering Sea is very low: "Have a cup of coffee and warm yourself up."
The woman nodded to Wang Hu and at the same time answered Xiao Peng’s question: "Thank you for your coffee and thank you for saving me. There is no one else on the boat, but I am the only one." At this time, the woman's emotions became much calmer and she didn't want to be like that. Panicked and spoke decently. At first glance, he was well educated.
Wang Hu laughed and said, "If the ship is gone, it will be gone. Don't be too sad. It's okay to be fine. Keeping your life is more important than anything else."
After listening to Wang Hu's words, the woman nodded in agreement.
Xiao Peng looked thoughtful, and walked slowly in front of the woman. Everyone didn't know what Xiao Peng was going to do.
However, Xiao Peng raised his hand and slapped it directly on the woman's face.
Snapped!
