Super Dimension Technology Era
Chapter 570 Boat and Bones
The steamship Golden, driven by the biting north wind, quickly passed through the Bering Strait.
Then at the Tianya Island (St. Lawrence Island) supply station, I replenished a batch of coal and canned vegetables, and then headed towards the warmer south.
In the captain's exclusive cabin of the Golden Ship, Wei Dahu was wiping the ivory throne and crab statue with a hint of fascination in his eyes.
He wiped the statue religiously and gently, not missing every detail of the statue. Any dirt on the statue would make Wei Dahu feel uncontrollable self-blame deep in his heart.
Gradually, Wei Dahu's gaze began to become fanatical and strange. His eyes unknowingly became similar to the three triangular eyes on the statue that were as round as fish.
If you observe carefully, the people on the Golden Ship begin to look very strange, especially their eyes, which are converging with the eyes on the statue.
Suddenly, the wooden door of the captain's cabin slowly opened, and a Japanese sailor walked in with dull eyes, and then stood devoutly in front of the statue.
"Lan...Lan..." The Japanese sailor's eyes widened and he made some weird and broken syllables from his throat.
Wei Dahu on the side stopped wiping and stood silently like a puppet on strings.
The Japanese sailor took off his shirt and exposed his chest and belly in front of the statue. The three triangular eyes of the crab statue flickered slightly, and then the three-meter long kiss penetrated the Japanese sailor's chest without any warning.
"Lan...Lan..."
"Lord...please eat me..."
After the long kiss pierced the Japanese sailor's chest, as if he was sucking jelly, the Japanese sailor's body became like a mummy in a moment.
But in the eyes of the Japanese sailors, there was only fanaticism and infinite admiration.
Then his eyeballs disappeared, followed by the skin, and finally only a skeleton remained, and even the marrow in the bones disappeared completely.
The crab statue retracted its long kiss.
The skeleton lost its support and immediately fell to the ground. Wei Dahu, who was standing by, quickly cleaned up the skeleton and threw it into the Bering Sea.
…
On the vast sea northwest of Snow Moss City.
Three fishing boats were fishing in the rough waves, quickly lowering their nets.
An hour later, a steam crane pulled the fishing net up, and a large number of king crabs were caught by the fishing net. A group of fishermen moved skillfully and threw some uninjured and energetic large king crabs into the sea pool.
The small crabs are thrown back into the sea, and the large king crabs that are injured or lack of vitality are placed in a large basket aside.
"It's a great place. This network will be better than what we have been doing for several years."
"yes!"
"The winter in this place is just too difficult, otherwise I would want to immigrate here."
The fishermen are all members of the Donghai Fishing Cooperative, and king crab has become a popular ingredient in recent years.
Since the empire's seafood transportation technology has been improved to the modern level, it is natural to catch king crabs from the Bering Sea and then transport them back to the empire.
King crab is consumed by dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, and the price can reach 200 to 400 yuan per pound. It is a luxury food after abalone, ginseng, wings and tripe.
If there is market demand, there will naturally be people willing to go fishing.
The fishing boat that had just caught a boatload of king crabs was about to return to Snow Moss City. A sharp-eyed fisherman suddenly saw a steamer on the hazy sea surface.
When the captain heard the report from the lookout sailor, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, there were many officials and civilians from the empire near the Bering Sea and Snow Moss City.
He casually ordered the lookout sailor to say hello to the other party, and then prepared to return to Snow Moss City.
But what happened next was a little unexpected.
The lookout sailor kept sending signals to the other party, but there was no response from the steamer. After more than fifteen minutes, the lookout sailor decisively informed the captain.
Captain Gongsun Guan quickly climbed up to the observation deck. Through the telescope, the deck of the ship was empty and not a single person was found.
Even the observation tower, which must be manned during navigation, was uncharacteristically empty.
Gongsun Guan shouted down: "Inform the Black Fish and Big Crab to move closer to the steamships on the north side."
"clear."
On the semaphore platform below the observation deck, the semaphore signalers hurriedly signaled to the other two fishing boats, and soon the three fishing boats turned north together.
According to the Imperial Navigation Management Regulations, they were obliged to rescue ships in distress that were part of the Empire. Steamships were one of the symbols of the Empire, and Gongsun Guan could only go there to find out.
About half an hour.
One of the fishing boats was traveling side by side with the Golden Boat, with a distance of more than 20 meters. The fishermen were beating gongs, hoping that someone would come out of the Golden Boat's deck.
However, after banging the gong for a long time, there was still silence on the Golden Ship. Gongsun Guan, who was standing on the deck, also felt bad. This situation could only mean that something had happened to the Golden Ship opposite.
He quickly took the people and rowed the boat close to the Golden Ship.
After boarding the deck of the Golden Number, the eight fishermen, including Gongsun Guan, were all armed with machetes, harpoons, and shotguns.
"Let's go, everyone be careful." Gongsun Guan waved his hand.
The eight people cautiously approached the cockpit and found that the hatch was not closed. After opening the hatch, the cockpit was empty.
"Next."
The interiors of the two consecutive cabins were empty and a little too clean.
Gongsun Guan became nervous involuntarily and pushed open the third hatch. The situation inside made all the fishermen break out in cold sweat.
The cabin was very clean, with only a pile of bones scattered on the wooden boards and a weird crab statue.
Looking at the pile of bones, Gongsun Guan, who retired from the Marine Corps, could tell at a glance that there was only one person among the bones.
"Continue to search other cabins."
In panic, the eight people quickly searched every cabin of the Golden Ship. Except for the cabin where a white skeleton and a statue were found, the other cabins were empty.
The strange situation made Gongsun Guan and others frightened. They found that there were no problems with the power system and driving system of the Golden Ship, so they could only bite the bullet and drive the ship back.
However, the vigilant Gongsun Guan locked up the cabin where the bones and statues were found, and prohibited fishermen from entering except for the cockpit and fuel boiler room.
Gongsun Guan, who was driving the Golden Ship, now just wanted to sail the ship back as soon as possible and let the empire investigate the matter.
After a tense day and two nights, the Golden Ship and the three fishing boats finally returned to the port of Snow Moss City.
Gongsun Guan, who barely slept a wink, and six boilermen crawled away from the Golden Ship and reported the incident on the Golden Ship to the Maritime Safety Administration in charge of port management.
While the Golden Ship docked at the port of Snow Moss City, a rapid siren sounded deep underground in the Snow Moss City Lighthouse.
A team of God-Slayers stationed in Snow Moss City was frightened by the sudden sound of an alarm. Captain Wu Ce turned on a special monitor.
On the monitor was a topographic map near Snow Moss City. At this time, an obvious red dot was flashing dazzlingly on the Snow Moss City port.
Wu Ce made a decisive decision: "Immediately notify Chang Shi's Mansion and the imperial garrison, and ask them to evacuate people near the port and activate special alert."
"clear."
Soon, all the people near the port were cleared away, leaving only the lonely Golden Ship.
