Chapter 1067
I fully support this soil improvement project! Once this busy period is over, I'll have the technical team fully cooperate with you. If you need any equipment or manpower, just let me know!
As he spoke, he actually bowed deeply to the Zhou family: "Whether it's the minerals or this volcanic soil, they are all things that saved all of our lives. On behalf of all the crew members and survivors on the mothership, thank you!"
I didn’t expect Captain Chen to be so generous!
The Zhou family members hurriedly stood up and dodged. Zhou Shuwan walked over and helped him up: "Captain Chen, don't be like this. We are also part of the mothership and we are doing our best to contribute to our warship!"
"Yes, yes, Captain Chen, you are so polite that we don't know what to do!" Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun also hurriedly stepped forward to support Captain Chen.
Captain Chen waved his hand, a smile on his face: "You are now the heroes of the mothership! From now on, you will be treated as heroes!"
He knew that the Zhou family members were not frivolous people and were more accustomed to doing things in a low-key manner.
So I just skipped the topic, and when my emotions calmed down, I remembered to ask about their itinerary:
"You've returned from Island 1, right? How's the situation there now? Has the salt fog still not dissipated? I was worried you wouldn't be able to get out, so I left clues for you on the outskirts..."
He looked at the expressions of the Zhou family and knew that they had not received any clues.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. "I didn't expect salt spray to be so corrosive! When I asked you to leave a clue, I also expected this to happen. I was extremely worried..."
Qi Mingyu nodded, the smile on his face gradually faded, and his tone became serious: "When we went there, the sea area near Island No. 1 was completely submerged in salt spray, and we couldn't see anything.
The salt fog is intermittent, sometimes it will disappear for three days before you can see some sunshine in the sky.
But suddenly it surged in from the sea level, thicker than anything we had encountered before.
The salt frost on the deck can build up so thick in just half a day that it can even corrode the metal and leave pits."
Captain Chen listened, and a bitter and helpless expression appeared on his face: "In fact, we have been here for more than three months..."
The sea breeze poured in through the half-open porthole, blowing away the hot steam in the teacup.
Captain Chen said in a low voice: "More than two months after you left on the cruise ship, we stayed at our original station for more than two months, looking forward to receiving news from you every day.
But no one expected the salt spray to arrive so suddenly. At first, it was just an occasional wisp with a salty, astringent smell. We thought it was just ordinary sea mist and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Later, the fog got thicker and thicker, and the intervals became shorter and shorter." Captain Chen's voice sank: "From once every ten days at the beginning, it later became once every five or three days.
The fog was brown and so thick that it could turn the midday sun into dusk. Standing on the deck, you couldn't even see people ten meters away. When you inhaled it into your lungs, it tasted salty and spicy.
Many soldiers started coughing and their skin peeled after just a few days, and some even had their respiratory tract ulcerated.”
The Zhou family immediately thought of the scene when they encountered salt spray.
The overwhelming brown fog that seemed to engulf the entire world...
Just the slightest contact can cause huge damage to the body!
To this day, the Zhou family still has wounds from the salt spray on their bodies.
There are so many people on the mothership. If they were all attacked by this salt spray, you can imagine how terrible it would be!
In the end times, disease is more terrifying than hunger. Once your body collapses, there are limited conditions for treatment in this vast ocean.
"What's even harder to bear than people is the equipment." Captain Chen pointed to the mothership deck outside the window, his tone full of helplessness: "You see the mothership is still shiny, but in fact, the metal frame underneath has also been corroded by salt spray.
