Franchise God Episode 1280

Chapter 292 Three Million Seok of Rice Offerings (4)

The pioneering spirit of British sailors and their machismo still lives on.

Everywhere there were people who didn’t care about their lives, trying to somehow break through the barriers.

“John! Are you in your right mind? You’re going to go through that tsunami? Make sense!”

“The tsunami belt is only 1km wide! If we just hold out for a little while, we can get through it! It’s not like the tsunami is coming in one after another!”

“Look at that height! It’s over 10 meters!”

“This ship is several times higher than that! We just need to avoid getting hit by the tsunami from the side! If we go through it head-on, we can definitely get through that tsunami belt!”

“It’ll only take a few minutes. If you can hold out for a few minutes without flipping over, you’ll be able to escape that tidal wave in no time.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to just wait for the Channel Tunnel to resume operation?”

The undersea railway linking England and France has been out of service for some time.

This decision was made out of concern over the possibility of an underwater volcano eruption, as the rumbling sound inside the tunnel resonates 24 hours a day.

And since there have been no problems so far, the opinion that it would be okay to put the trains that have been converted to unmanned mode into service is gradually gaining ground.

“What Britain is most lacking right now is oil! Oil! But in the current situation, the undersea railway cannot transport oil! We have to step in!”

With strange noises constantly coming from the seabed, if a tunnel were to collapse and explode while transporting oil tankers, even the possibility of repairing the tunnel would disappear.

Therefore, even if transportation resumes, people will not be able to travel at all, and only non-explosive materials such as food will be able to travel.

“It is safest to transport oil by ship! The sky, the ground, they are all dangerous!”

“Damn. I wish you good luck. I hope you succeed!”

“Just wait! I’ll make it look like a ten-meter-tall tsunami!”

No matter how dangerous a tsunami is, if it is about 1 km wide and 10 meters high, it would be possible for a giant tanker to do it.

Captain John took up this reckless endeavor with these calculations in mind.

His fellow sailors also joined in this reckless plan. They had families to protect beyond the tidal wave, and it was impossible for them to reach British soil by air.

Now, more than 95% of all airports in the UK are operating to accommodate cargo ships transporting supplies.

Except for a select few VIPs, there is no access to British airport runways.

“Both the shipowner and the insurance company have approved this reckless challenge! If we fail, all we will lose is 660 million pounds of oil and our lives!”

“Long live Captain John! Long live England!”

“The sea must give us a way back home!”

“Our Queen, protect us!”

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

The roaring thrust of the gas turbine engine pushed the huge hull toward the tsunami belt.

“Left front wheel!”

“Left front wheel!”

“All crew members, brace for impact! Braces for impact!”

“Brace yourself for shock!”

The tsunami surges forward with terrifying force.

The important thing is not to take the tsunami sideways, but to penetrate it with the pointed bow.

Then the ship will be able to sail through the tsunami without capsizing.

Captain John stared wide-eyed at the tsunami crashing into his ship.

“Come, sweet tidal wave! Sweet death! Nothing can stand in the way of the English seafarer!”

“Captain, you’re getting emotional! Everyone, brace yourself for the shock!”

“Eww! A tsunami is coming from starboard! Distance 300!”

“what’?”

At that moment, Captain John was startled by the report of the navigator in charge of the starboard lookout and turned his binoculars in that direction.

Sure enough, a tsunami suddenly appeared and was heading straight for the starboard side at an angle of exactly 90 degrees.

The tsunami grew higher and higher, and before long it had risen high enough to engulf the missionary school.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

“The boat is capsizing! Captain! Captain!”

“Captain! Captain!”

“Ugh, ugh! Everyone brace yourself for shock… …

A tremendous shock swept over the mission, and the whole world began to spin around.

Looking out over the tilting bridge deck, Captain John had an instinctive feeling that the ship had capsized.

Escape is pointless.

The fragile human body cannot withstand such a tremendous tsunami.

Rather, it is better to go deep inside the ship so that you can meet your family as a body when the ship is salvaged later.

Finally the ship capsized, and the captain found himself thrown against the bridge ceiling, presumably facing death.

Soon the sea will come in and take everyone’s lives… … .

‘ what?’

But then something amazing happened.

The rotation continued without stopping.

I was clearly stepping on the ceiling as if it were the floor, but soon the opposite wall became the floor, and finally I was thrown back down onto the mission floor.

Surprisingly, the weather was clear and clear without a single wave in front of the transparent window.

The sea is clearly visible below on the horizon.

It means that the ship is standing properly.

“Captain! I survived!”

“The ship capsized twice in a row and then stood upright! It’s a miracle! In the history of ship capsizing, this has never happened before! We’ve set a record!”

“Anyone dead or missing? Count the number of people and report immediately!”

“There is no sign!”

“Agency, everyone is safe!”

“voyage??????!”

Each section chief immediately figured out the number of people and reported to the captain.

Fortunately, no one died, was seriously injured or went missing.

It is said that even those who were unable to get onto the ship from the deck held on to the railing and were safely held on the ship’s deck.

“What about the crude oil tanks? Are the tanks okay?”

“All right! No hydraulic fluctuations!”

“All right! We finally made it! We made it through that hellish tidal wave!”

“Long live Captain John! Long live!”

“Long live England! Long live Her Majesty the Queen!”

“Now, let us take the spoils of war from the sea and return to our hungry citizens!”

Captain John was giving helm instructions in high spirits, but then he paused for a moment after looking at the navigation data.

The first mate also turned to John with a stern face and slowly opened his mouth.

“Captain, that’s… …

“Why, why… … Why is that in front of me! Aaaah! This can’t be happening! This can’t be happening!”

In the distance you can see the French sky.

The satellite coordinates also provided the ship’s location and direction with surprising accuracy.

They did not pass through the tsunami belt, they were pushed back out of the tsunami belt.

“This can’t be happening! This can’t be happening!”

“We have breaking news. The tanker Amelia, led by Captain John, has been fighting for her life to pass through the tsunami belt, but unfortunately has failed to do so.”

“The Amilia suffered a capsizing accident, but the ship miraculously managed to stay upright and escape the tsunami without sinking under the water after capsizing twice in succession.”

“This incredible miracle was able to be remembered forever in the world thanks to the video captured by the U.S. Navy and Air Force.”

“The Guinness Book of World Records Committee is actively and positively reviewing the listing of this amazing event in the Guinness Book of World Records… … .”

-Captain John, tell us about the incredible experience of saving your ship from a double tanker capsize.

– Damn it. It wasn’t my steering skills. That damn tsunami tricked us and saved our lives!

-Captain John?

-Hey, you guys who are preparing to reopen the channel tunnel right now, listen carefully. If you don’t want to get in big trouble, just give up.

-Hey, Captain! What are you talking about!

-Don’t ignore me and listen to me! This isn’t just a natural disaster! It’s the pesky Poseidon wielding his trident, harassing us! If you try to avoid the trident by using the underwater railroad, you’ll end up in even worse trouble than I did, so give up everything!

-Sorry, sorry! Dear viewers, this is the end of the live interview!

-You think I’m lying? Just wait and see! Captain John’s hasty shout that a train can’t pass between those pesky Poseidon’s tridents left a strong impression on the memories of British viewers.

Meanwhile, the train, whose unmanned equipment has been fully verified, is finally ready to pass through the undersea railway.

Because we cannot afford to overlook even the smallest risk, we have gone through a verification process through thorough and rigorous simulations.

All that was loaded into the cargo hold was a few groceries.

In order to make it easier to handle later in case of an accident, the cargo capacity was less than 1%.

“What did you think of the interview with Captain John?”

“I think he’s right. Is it possible for a ship to capsize twice and then right itself? It’s impossible unless it’s some really nasty trick from Poseidon.”

“In the first place, the tsunami itself seems like nothing more than a nuisance from some rational being that prevents us from using the route.”

“What about that sound that keeps ringing in the Channel Tunnel? Doesn’t it feel like a warning not to even think about going through the tunnel?”

“I wish they would stop the railroad passage even now… …

It took time to retrofit all trains to be unmanned to prevent accidents that could result in fatalities.

But see how the Amilia survived a double capsize without a single casualty.

If that pesky Poseidon really is isolating Britain, what are they going to do with the completely unmanned submarine?

“This won’t work. I have to get out of here. If the tunnel collapses, a huge amount of seawater will flow back out of that hole.”

“Wait a minute! Don’t leave the scene without orders!”

“Shut up! Don’t throw my life into the sea with some ridiculous order!”

“I need to get out of here too.”

As the 20-car train slowly began to speed into the tunnel, the anxious employees began to hurriedly leave their seats.

The person in charge of the site, who was at a loss as to what to do when the control did not work, also ended up escaping with the others as if he did not know anything.

There was nothing left for them to do here anyway.

“The train is coming!”

“Wow!”

Finally, the head of the train comes into view, slowly emerging from the tunnel.

A large crowd of people who had been watching with bated breath at the entrance to the British tunnel cheered in unison.

Fearing that an unexpected accident might occur, the train passed through the tunnel slowly, at a speed of less than 20 km/h. As a result, it took quite a long time.

Everyone hugged and cried as they saw the lead locomotive emerge from the tunnel. Now Britain had hope.

“Team Leader, there’s something strange in the driving data.”

“what?”

“There is so much noise that a lot of data is not recorded. Above all, power consumption is abnormally low.”

“Low power consumption?”

“Yes. The power consumption should be displayed several times more than this… …

The team leader, who was looking at the noisy data with a serious face, suddenly heard the people’s cheers change strangely.

He took his eyes off the monitor and walked towards the observation window, and his legs almost gave out.

“What? What happened?”

It was clearly a test train of 20 cars, but only 2 cars were completely removed.

This meant that the remaining 18 cars were stuck somewhere inside the tunnel.

The team members, unaware of his despair-filled mind, muttered in a tone of relief that their mystery had been solved.

“Aha, so that’s why the power consumption was so ridiculously low. It wasn’t a measurement error.”
