Great Power Technology

Chapter 253 Mountaineering (4)--The mountain is coming to me

The screen jumped, and Ye Zhou found himself on the deck of a large ship.

The flow of information slowly poured in, and he began to understand the situation he was in now.

This cargo ship is not actually a cargo ship, but an ocean-going fishing boat. It is currently sailing near the Aleutian Islands at 30 degrees north latitude. The reason why I boarded this fishing boat was not to fish, but, Off the grid.

This was 2009. At this time, he had been studying in the country of Chou for more than ten years. After completing a large amount of basic theoretical research on quantum computing, the government of the country of Chou began to restrict his return to the country as he expected.

On the one hand, airlines refuse to sell tickets, passports are blacklisted, and customs prohibits them from passing;

On the other hand, the officials of Chou Country provided themselves with the most superior treatment and the most generous economic returns, just to keep themselves in Chou Country.

However, he couldn't stay any longer.

Because, just a year ago, he made a major breakthrough in the theoretical research and development of topology-specific quantum computers and was about to enter the application stage.

Once this technology matures, all confidential information based on the RSA encryption system will be completely invalid. In other words, any country's strategic intelligence will be presented to the technology holder as plain text.

If you have not returned to your country before the application results appear, then this technology will never be possible to return to your country.

Must go, no matter what way.

Therefore, he used the cash he had secretly saved under his bed over the years to bribe the captain of this ocean-going fishing boat and let him take him to the high seas near the Thousand Islands, where someone would come to pick him up.

Now, there are still 20 hours of flight to his final destination.

Looking at the lead clouds gradually getting lower in the distance, Ye Zhou looked worried.

He knew that this was a sign that the wind was about to rise at sea, and once it encountered wind and waves, this fishing boat, which was not large in tonnage, would face a severe test.

"Ye, are you worried about the wind and waves? Don't worry, we will overcome the wind and waves."

A white man behind him tapped him on the shoulder and handed him a cigar.

Ye Zhou looked back and saw that the person coming was the first mate on the ship. He had completely bribed him with cash and cigars before. Now, he was one of the most loyal people on the ship.

Ye Zhou took the cigar and said with some emotion:

"I'm not worried about the wind and waves. We've experienced a lot of wind and waves along the way. What I'm worried about is the bigger winds and waves."

"Don't worry, storms and waves will come, but they will also go away - even if it is a 20-meter-high wave, we have ridden it before."

Listening to the first mate's words, Ye Zhou nodded slightly.

The dim yellow sun in the distance has fallen below the lead clouds and is about to sink to the bottom of the sea.

The sea surface was a deep, lifeless black. Occasionally, the waves were broken by the bow of the ship, and a bright blue and white splashed out.

Under this bright color, what Ye Zhou saw was a more dangerous tranquility.

got windy.

When the first ray of sea breeze carrying water vapor blew from a distance, rushed towards Ye Zhou, and rolled up the hair on his forehead, he realized that the wind and waves on this day would definitely not be small.

Everyone on the ship had already taken action. The captain yelled and ordered the crew to pump in ballast water, reduce the engine speed, and at the same time turn on the backup engine to provide additional torque for the steering rudder.

Everything on the deck was tied up urgently, and Ye Zhou was pulled into the cockpit. Together with the captain, he stared nervously at the rising waves ahead.

Dark clouds over the city.

On this night, the highest wave recorded near the Aleutian Islands was 16 meters high.

The first wave of impact came quickly. The captain looked directly at the huge waves coming from the bow of the ship and roared at Ye Zhou to hold on to the console.

"Hurry up! It's coming!!"

Ye Zhou's muscles suddenly tightened, and then the bow of the boat suddenly tilted up.

His body was thrown away with great force, and when he fell, his chin almost hit the operating table.

Ye Zhou climbed up with difficulty and looked through the observation window at the bow of the ship. He was surprised to find that what he saw was not the face, but the sky.

The next second, the fishing boat crossed the top of the wave.

The bow of the ship suddenly fell. This time, Ye Zhou had experience. He pressed his hands and feet against the console to resist the astonishing speed caused by the fall.

boom!

The bow of the ship hit the sea hard, and white waves more than ten meters high splashed up, hitting the observation window like a heavy rain.

Ye Zhou just wanted to take a breath, but found that there were higher waves one after another in front of the ship.

"Can we... drop anchor?"

"Huh, anchor?"

A sneer appeared on the captain's face, and then he continued to answer:

"If it's just a small storm, there's no problem in anchoring. But anchoring in such a storm? That's just asking for death!"

"We can only cross over against the waves. Even if the ship's hull deflects just a little, it may be overturned by the waves!"

"Ye, find a place to stand and protect yourself!"

Just as Ye Zhou was about to nod, the second wave had already hit.

He held on to the handrail for dear life while the captain turned the rudder desperately.

During this crossing, the direction of the ship's bow was no longer perpendicular to the waves - maybe it was only offset by less than 10 degrees, but it was this 10-degree offset that caused the rudder angle to tilt by more than 20 degrees!

Waves came one after another, and the captain struggled to maintain his standing position. The bow of the ship had completely shifted. He desperately increased the speed, trying to straighten the bow of the ship before the next wave arrived.

However, it's too late.

In this wave, the ship's hull tilted up to 40 degrees, a large amount of water entered the deck, and even the engine room called for help.

"Ye! Go and find the first mate for us! The backup engine is broken and the rudder torque is decreasing!"

Ye Zhou looked at Captain Chu in horror, and then glanced at the waves outside the observation window.

In an instant, he suddenly had some kind of enlightenment.

This is a mountain.

This is a mountain standing on the sea.

The captain, driving this fishing boat, was taking him to climb mountains.

Only after crossing these waves can he return to his homeland.

Now is the time to decide.

If you go to the first mate as the captain says, it will be almost impossible to reverse the direction of the ship's bow before the next wave hits.

The waves will hit the fishing boat at an angle of 45 degrees, and then completely capsize it with great force!

You can only rely on yourself.

In an instant, Ye Zhou activated his thinking programming, activated his courage talent, and his physical fitness suddenly improved!

He rushed to the captain's side, ignored his objections, held the steering rudder with him, and then dropped his body to turn the rudder desperately!

The bow of the boat slowly turned, gradually increasing the angle with the wave to more than 60 degrees.

The waves hit us like a mountain pressing down on us.

The fishing boat's tilt angle reached almost 50 degrees, but in the end, it struggled to cross the crest of the wave.

The angle continued to increase. Under Ye Zhou's pressure at all costs, he and the captain used their own body strength to make up for the decrease in rudder torque caused by the failure of the backup engine!

Another mountain.

This time, the fishing boat rushed straight towards the mountain, then crossed the wave crest with a vigorous attitude, and landed on the sea behind!

…

After a long time, the storm gradually subsided.

The observation window in front of Ye Zhou was covered with cracks caused by the huge impact of the waves. His hands were red and swollen, and his face was pale. The captain beside him was no better than him.

The first mate who rushed in looked at the situation between the two of them, and his anxious expression finally relaxed.

"There's something wrong in the engine room, I've been there..."

"It doesn't matter, we've crossed over."

Ye Zhou waved his hand to interrupt him.

The captain looked at Ye Zhou, nodded slightly, and said approvingly:

"Ye, you are a very brave person. I think you will have a broader future after returning to your home country."

Ye Zhou smiled and did not answer.

He stood up and walked onto the deck, looking as far as the eye could see. The moon had risen quietly in the distance.

The bright moonlight shone on the calm sea, and the shimmering light made his agitated mood calm down a little.

He took a deep breath of the moist sea breeze and quietly thought about how he would connect with the country after arriving at the Thousand Islands.

Maybe a freighter? Maybe a warship? Or, a helicopter?

He prefers helicopters because he has never been in one.

However, before such thoughts could dissipate, his eyes noticed something strange on the sea.

The water is rolling and boiling.

Then, a huge thing, like a huge rock protruding from the seabed, suddenly emerged from the sea.

Ye Zhou's heart trembled.

He recognized the thing.

This is the real thing, a mountain in the sea.

Before, he walked towards the mountain.

And now, the mountains were coming towards him.
