The closer you get, the more you can intuitively feel the hugeness of this cargo ship. The captain is estimated to be more than 300 meters and the width is 50 to 60 meters. It should be a giant ocean-going cargo ship that can hold tens of thousands of containers.
Qiao Xi's eyes sparkled, he took out the flying tiger claw used for rock climbing, threw it onto the boat with all his strength, and successfully threw it onto the boat and hooked it onto the iron railing. I never imagined that the rock climbing I learned back then would be used in this place.
Too many skills don't overwhelm one's body, and the truth is true.
Putting on the gas mask and pulling the rope to climb up, Qiao Xi suddenly thought that if the space was larger, or if the freighter was smaller, she could swoop the entire freighter into the space. It was so beautiful to think about it.
After boarding the ship, Qiao Xi confirmed that the locks between the container and the cabin fixing slot had been removed, and she breathed a sigh of relief. This was great and saved her time greatly.
She took out an extension ladder and climbed to the top of the container eight floors above the deck. She finally saw clearly the extent of the fire. The entire bow of the ship was burning. The horizontal line of fire was fifty or sixty meters long, and the longitudinal line of fire was estimated to be nearly a hundred meters.
It was incomparable to the port fire, but it wasn't something she could put out by herself. She had water, but she couldn't spray it out like a high-pressure water gun, just as fast as a faucet.
If the fire cannot be extinguished, clear a fire isolation zone to slow down its spread.
The width of the freighter is limited. As long as one of the 40-foot containers in the horizontal row is taken away, it will be a 12-meter-wide fire isolation belt. Although the hull can burn, it is definitely not as flammable as the cargo inside the container. She will have more time to find an escape boat and collect the supplies behind.
After appraising the intensity of the fire, Qiao Xi put on fire-proof clothing and chose to start from the row of intact containers closest to the fire. Because it was close to the live line, the box was so hot that she grinned, but her movements did not slow down at all.
No matter what is in this row, put it all into the space.
American ginseng, maple syrup, goat milk powder, calcium tablets, vitamin tablets... are all good things that were not available before. Just rush into these few cargo boxes, and the heat will not be in vain.
Soon, a twelve-meter-wide blank space appeared, dividing the bow burning area and the stern container area into two distinct worlds. There are also a bunch of cans, juice drinks, cashmere carpets, cashmere quilts and other supplies in the space.
Feeling uneasy, Qiao Xi took away another row of containers. This time, the fire isolation zone was 24 meters wide, which should be safe enough. As for collecting them all, that was not possible for the time being. The weight imbalance at the front and rear of the ship would easily tip over, and she hadn't gotten the lifeboat yet.
Qiao Xi, who was sweating from the fire, went straight to the stern cockpit. On the way here, she had already determined the location of the lifeboat, which was on the second floor deck of the cockpit. It is also a fully enclosed lifeboat. This kind of lifeboat can immediately return to its original shape even if it capsizes in wind and waves. It is the last lifeline for sailors in wind and waves.
In the cab, Qiao Xi tried to release the lifeboat and found that the operating console was completely malfunctioning, which was not a big surprise. If it was still operating normally, the crew would have driven the freighter out instead of abandoning it.
She just gave it a try with a little bit of luck. If it didn't work, she could only try brute force. Before that, she first checked to see if there was anything useful here. According to regulations, the cab would be equipped with some escape supplies and a medical kit.
Indeed, I found three pieces of insulated life jackets, rare good things, specially designed to deal with severe cold weather. Normal people would fall into coma after being in low-temperature sea water for less than fifteen minutes. However, if you wear an insulated survival suit, your body temperature will not drop more than 2 degrees within six hours, giving you more hope of survival.
In addition, three ordinary life jackets, a medical first aid kit, an oxygen tank, three navigation binoculars and five fire extinguishers were also found.
Qiao Xi left with satisfaction and went straight to the lifeboat on the second floor deck. It took him some time and even the use of an electric saw to open the fixed lock and successfully put the fully enclosed lifeboat into the space. Also stored together are four inflatable life rafts that can accommodate six people and six luminous lifebuoys.
If there is one on this side, there must be one on the other side. Qiao Xi raised his legs and ran. When he passed by the back side, he saw a rescue boat hanging on the davit. Of course, he couldn't turn a blind eye. The lifeboat and life raft on the other side were also successfully put into the space.
The primary goal of this trip was achieved.
After spending too much time on the lifeboat, the fire on the bow of the ship had already ignited the isolation zone, so Qiao Xi gave up the idea of going to the lower living area to collect other supplies.
She returned to the container area and started collecting containers from the row closest to the isolation belt. Guessing that she had enough time and energy, she stopped picking and choosing and just accepted it as a box.
Tennis rackets, badminton rackets, basketballs and various sports supplies...mineral water, milk, orange juice...coffee tables, sofas, mattresses, chairs...rice cookers, ovens, kitchen knives, air conditioners, washing machines, humidifiers, coffee machines...dried fruits , nuts, dehydrated vegetables, biscuits, puffed food...generators, hand-cranked generators, batteries...motorcycles, balancing cars, electric cars, drones, go-karts, remote control racing cars...shower gel, shampoo, Toothpaste, toothbrush...
There is another batch of refrigerated containers.
Ice wine, red wine, royal jelly, ready-to-eat bird's nest, tea, cigarettes, cigars...raspberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cherries...salmon, lobster, geoduck, oysters, caviar...beef, alpaca meat, lamb , turkey, rabbit...blueberry sauce, ketchup, peanut butter, salad dressing...tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, carrots, peas, baby corn...pig's trotters, chicken feet, duck feet, duck necks, goose feet, chicken wings ...condensed milk, cheese, butter...lobster roll, anchovy shrimp, cream chicken noodles, black pepper beef ribs...
The only flaw is that there are dozens of containers of alcohol disinfectant, liquid alcohol, and solid alcohol in the white containers, but there is not a single container of Western medicine or vaccines.
Obviously this country's pharmaceutical industry is relatively settled and highly dependent on imports. Maybe there has been no imports in the past few days, and maybe it was destroyed in a sea of fire.
Qiao Xi could not help but regret that although there was a shelf of medicine in the space, it was not full. Medicines were so expensive. She had limited funds at the time and could not spend all of her money on hoarding medicines.
It didn't matter, she cheered up immediately. She had money, materials and time, so she didn't believe she couldn't make up for this gap.
See what else is behind.
We received a lot of medical protective equipment such as rubber gloves, N95 masks, goggles, goggle masks, isolation gowns, and protective clothing.
There are also a batch of wheat flour, corn, potatoes, soybeans, oats and other miscellaneous grains, as well as olive oil, corn oil, soybean oil, soy sauce, rose salt, cumin powder and other seasonings.
In the last two rows, hundreds of boxes of machine-made charcoal and biomass pellet fuel are harvested. They are smokeless, odorless and have high calorific value, and can be used for cooking and heating.
Naturally, I also collected some things that I don't think are very practical or even famous at the moment, but who knows if they will come in handy in the future. There are no useless things, only people who can't use them.
Without the flammable materials, the fire spread faster than Qiao Xi. When all the containers in the area from the isolation zone to the stern of the ship were taken away, the fire was still dozens of meters away from her. However, the change in weight caused the ship's hull to slowly begin to tilt, and some containers fell into the sea.
Qiao Xi didn't dare to delay any longer. He slid down from the stern of the boat along the flying tiger's claws, released the rubber boat, jumped on it, and left immediately.
She drove to a distance that ensured that she would not be overturned by the waves of the shipwreck. She collapsed, took out a bottle of mineral water, drank it and poured it on her face. She was really tired when she was tired, and she was really satisfied when she was satisfied. .
After catching his breath slightly, Qiao Xi looked at his watch. After leaving the space, it started working again and it's now 3:36. She spent nearly three hours on the freighter, which was almost the same as on the port, and the results were similar.
Two lifeboats, a rescue boat, eight inflatable life rafts, life jackets, life buoys and cars were placed together in Compartment No. 2. Several other storage compartments that originally held only a small amount of items have been cluttered with containers.
It's messy, it's so messy that it hurts the eyes.
She must take the time to arrange everything neatly, and she also divides it into categories, with storage compartments and materials in each category. She has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder in her body.
Just moving all these things to the corresponding positions is no small project. After tonight's trip, Qiao Xi, who was as tired as a dog, looked even uglier and wanted to give up.
It seems like... I can't bear to be in such a mess, so let's do it slowly.
The rubber boat swayed suddenly a little louder. Qiao Xi came to his senses and saw that the freighter not far away had capsized. It was the wave that was caused by it.
The depth of the port was limited, so the huge cargo ship did not sink completely. Instead, it rolled sideways in the seawater with its bow raised and its stern sinking. The fire was obviously much smaller, but it was not extinguished. The part of the hull floating on the water was still burning.
Qiao Xi took out his newly acquired navigation telescope. This telescope can penetrate the fog on the sea. I wonder if it can penetrate the burning smoke.
The view was indeed wider, clearer, and more terrifying than what she had seen through her previous telescope. In addition to fire, there are blazing fires and billowing smoke everywhere in the camera, giving people a sense of fear that fire has surrounded the whole world.
