The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 73: The Day of Tsunami (Part 1)

The frightened Ed took Gu Tie to find a hotel. In fact, there is only this hotel in Bransk. "Little Kiev, interesting, it was opened by a Ukrainian." Gu Tie seemed to read with interest. Holding the sign of the hotel, the Poles opened the glass door and walked to the front desk first, blocking the murderous Chinese behind them.

The drowsy receptionist raised his head from behind the counter: "Do you want a room, two people." With only a glance, the butcher with a crooked face and the discouraged guest with cold eyes behind him made him beat him. There was a big chill, and he immediately woke up, "Good afternoon, what kind of room do you want, gentlemen." He moved his **** and asked respectfully again,

"Your best room." Ed took out his ID and placed it on the counter.

"All rooms are at the same price...Mr. Grenevsky." The receptionist opened his passport and glanced at it. "105 PLN per night including tax. Check out before two o'clock in the afternoon. One night, right?...... Two rooms are you."

"No, one." The bearded said categorically,

The receptionist raised his eyes and scanned the two guests, with a look of "complete understanding" on his face, "Of course, a big bed room, if the two gentlemen are traveling on a honeymoon, the "Little Kiev" hotel provides free The roses and chocolates can be prepared before the two move in."

"No need, just give us a secluded room, at the end of the corridor, preferably no window." Ed calmly said,

The receptionist suddenly realized: "Ah, yes, yes, I fully understand such a request. From a worldly perspective, right? Legalization is one thing, and publicity is another..."

Gu Tie glanced at him impatiently, and the receptionist immediately lowered his head to fill in the registration book, and then handed out a bunch of keys: "Room 219, at the end of the corridor, no windows, very good sound insulation, super comfortable and big Bed, if you need food delivery service, just give me a call..."

"Thanks." Ed dropped the 5 yuan tip, took his passport and key, and grabbed Gu Tie upstairs. The two men stepped on the old chemical fiber carpet and the poorly maintained wooden stairs creaked. "I'm not a fool." Beard suddenly said, "What are you doing on the'Genesis' network."

"When I want to say it, I will say it." The Chinese climbed the stairs calmly,

The Polish shrugged: "I will remember this sentence."

Compared with the somewhat shabby lobby, the room was clean and tidy. Ed locked the door, took a chair and sat by the door, took out a pistol, and raised his legs: "You do what you should do, dinner I'll call you time, do you mind if I watch TV."

"Turn up the volume to increase the realism, you'd better call **." Gu Tie joked blankly,

He was lying on a king　size bed, and, as the receptionist said, it was really a very comfortable bed. After logging on to the Quantum Network, in a blink of an eye, the turbulent world of the Pure Land surrounded him, and Gu Tie did it. Take a deep breath, stand under the dark sky, raise your hands,

His goal is very clear. Under the guidance of a search thread, information about the Royal Caribbean "Oasis of the Sea" cruise ship poured out like a flood: the maiden voyage was launched in November 2009 at a cost of 1.4 billion US dollars. , With a tonnage of 225,000 tons, a draft of 9.1 meters, a length of 361.8 meters, a waterline width of 47 meters, a widest point of 63.4 meters, a height of 72 meters, and a speed of 22.6 knots, which is 5 times larger than the Titanic, and second The cruise ship "Freedom of the Seas" also weighs 60,000 tons. The cruise ship uses Fort Lauderdale, Florida as the port. It has 16 decks and 2,000 cabins that can carry 6,000 passengers. It also has a large shopping mall, Numerous bars and restaurants, 　an outdoor amphitheater the size of a football field, and sports facilities such as a climbing wall. Since September 15, 2034, it will operate the equatorial round-the-world route.

Gu Tie’s eyes glided over many useful and useless strings, his left hand clenched a fist, and related news arranged in time sequence automatically formed a vast and boundless matrix, "June 17, 2052..." He silently recited the date of the accident, nothing to do. The news of ”quietly faded, leaving only 110 related reports in the air. He opened a video news from Kyodo News. The turbulent Sea of ​​Japan appeared beside him. The photographer sitting in the helicopter was taking pictures with trembling hands. The terrifying tsunami rising slowly on the lower skyline, the reporter on the scene screamed frantically: "33 meters. According to the measurement, the height of the tsunami reached 33 meters. This is the third tsunami in this century that has a height of more than 30 meters. After the tsunami in the Aleutian Islands, another terrifying disaster. The port city has activated emergency plans to evacuate all residents. Please look ahead. The largest cruise ship in history, the Oasis of the Sea, is in the direction of the tsunami."

The photographer turned the lens to the other direction. The raindrops wet the glass window with pitch-black water. A huge, brightly-lit ship was slowly turning its rudder, preparing to deal with the impact of the waves. The news host’s message appeared in the lower right corner of the screen. Face: "Nagashima-san, we have seen the situation at the scene. It is very shocking. The 5,500 passengers on the'Ocean Oasis' are experiencing an unprecedented crisis. Now the studio has invited the Minister of Maritime Science Miura Otsu, Mr. Miura, to the Kobe University. Would you please explain to the audience the hazards of the tsunami to ships."

The bald maritime expert pushed his glasses: “First of all, ships traveling at sea should not return to the port after receiving a tsunami warning, because a tsunami will cause rapid changes in the port’s water surface, bringing unpredictable dangerous currents, and a tsunami. People should not stay on the ships docked in the harbor. The deeper the water surface, the less harm caused by the tsunami. The tsunami wave is a gravitational long wave with a wavelength between 50 and 500 nautical miles. Its energy will accumulate in shallow water. Large, tsunamis often cause major damage to ships, destroying parts above the waterline."

"Then what are the options for the'Ocean Oasis' in responding to the tsunami?" the host asked,

Miura Otsu thought for a while: “Same as when dealing with wind and waves on the ocean, there are roughly three ways: top waves, down waves, and stagnant waves. With an angle of about 20 degrees, the potential danger is that pitching may cause bottoming, waves on the deck, empty cars, etc.; following the waves is to move forward at full speed in the direction of the tsunami, reducing the relative speed with the waves and weakening the impact. The potential danger is that if the speed of the tsunami crest exceeds the speed of the ship, the big waves will flood the stern and cause the tail to drown; stagnant waves are at the minimum speed, and the wind and waves are placed on the bow 2-3 compass points to sail against the waves. At this time, the ship is actually The state of not advancing or retreating can reduce hull sway and waves. When it is potentially dangerous, it is necessary to adjust the speed according to the speed and direction of the wave at all times to maintain the rudder effect, otherwise it is easy to be beaten into a horizontal wave. Try to avoid becoming a horizontal wave, that is, the side of the side will cause great damage to the tsunami wave."

"Are there any precedents for a cruise ship with a large tonnage like the'Ocean Oasis' that was severely damaged in a tsunami, Minister Miura." The screen was cut back to the scene, and the host’s voice-over asked,

"Basically no. In fact, when a tsunami occurs, a cruise ship sailing in the deep sea is the best refuge. Only the ocean surface with a special landform like the Sea of ​​Japan can cause such a high tsunami crest, similar to this , And the Mediterranean. In 2010, the 40,000-ton-class cruise ship "Louis Majesty" of Cyprus Louis Cruise Line was hit by an 8-meter-high tsunami on its way from the port of Barcelona, ​​Spain to Genoa, Italy. The bow was flooded by waves and 2 people were killed. , 14 people were injured, but the height of the "Ocean Oasis" reached 60 meters above the waterline. This should not happen. Generally speaking, I think it should be able to withstand the tsunami safely...unless there is a major control error." The expert’s voice seems uncertain,

The camera panned to the reporter’s face, and the reporter wearing a yellow raincoat urged the photographer: "Don’t shoot me, aim at the cruise ship, aim at the cruise ship."

The largest cruise ship in human history is slowly turning around. 4 pairs of bow thrusters and 3 stern thrusters stir the turbid sea water. "Director Miura, do you think the'ocean oasis' is going to use stagnant waves to fight the tsunami? Well.” The host’s voice sounded, “For such a large tonnage ship, the best choice is stagnant waves.” The expert replied, “But the occurrence of an earthquake is unpredictable. It is too late when the ship receives the tsunami warning. I think it’s too late to turn around now. Without the help of the guide wheel, I’m afraid it’s too late to reach the predetermined angle before the tsunami strikes."

Gu Tie frowned. The ten-story tsunami is approaching at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, but the huge cruise ship is still slowly turning around. From his layman's eyes, he can see that this is not a correct one. Select,

Two minutes later, a huge 33-meter-high huge wave hit the "Ocean Oasis". At this time, the cruise ship was at a 45-degree angle with the wave, and did not reach a reasonable angle of the top wave, "hit." The host was excited. Exclaimed, "It's not good... this angle is really not enough." Miura Otsu exclaimed,

From the perspective of the helicopter, the height of the waves is less than half of the ship's body. The tall water wall smashed on the side of the ship, causing overwhelming waves. The camera trembled, "Pull up, hold on." The reporter yelled to the pilot. , The helicopter swayed and raised, the camera aimed at the "ocean oasis", zoomed in the focus, the waves did not cause damage to the steel hull, but the huge power contained in the tsunami pushed the entire hull, "huh dong dong dong dong..." In the metal twisting sound like a drum, the huge cruise ship slowly tilted to the opposite side, "Look, the'Ocean Oasis' is tilted." The reporter exclaimed, "Did you get it? Did you get it."

"We saw it." The host immediately asked the expert: "Miura-kun, this situation..."

"Disaster." Miura Otsu whispered,
