Chapter 1199: The Lost Ship in the Tide of Space and Time

What if someone falls off a boat during an ocean voyage?
The answer is cold salad.

On the vast ocean, when a warship with a length of more than 100 meters is sailing at a speed of more than ten knots, it is not easy to stop the ship or turn around immediately.

If it were really that dexterous, there would be no value in weapons like torpedoes.

If you really fall, you will fall, there is no way to rescue you.

The same problem occurred when naval officers and soldiers were swept away by the tides of time and space.

It's not like you're on land, where you have enough time and manpower and resources to rescue.

In this era without even satellite navigation, the Navy has no way of determining where and when these officers and soldiers were lost.

The only solution is to rely on the Warp Astronomical Torch... Sorry to interrupt, I have to rely on the torch light lit by the flagship stargazer to find the way home.

Wang Yunxiao had experienced this kind of thing before.

On the way back from another world line, he unfortunately got separated from the main force, and he had to carry the little witch on his back and fight his way through the underground webway of the End North Continent alone.

If the white-haired lion beast hadn't fallen from the sky, he wouldn't know when he would be able to come back.

In addition to the lost officers and soldiers who need to find ways to return home, these officers and soldiers who suddenly appear on the ship may need to be comforted.

We can't kill them all.

In every sense, they are comrades-in-arms, just not on the same timeline.

Where to sit is another question.

Wei Liuyun is not a conservative person.

Whether a person is old-fashioned or not has nothing to do with whether he is willing to go along with the corrupt and accept bribes.

He was able to achieve incredible results with a torpedo boat back then, and now he is grabbing the command of the squadron without saying a word... This guy has nothing to do with being old-fashioned no matter how you think about it.

He is now not only responsible for commanding the fleet, but also for solving the psychological problems of the officers and soldiers.

Not everyone knows or understands what the space-time tides are.

If these people are not handled properly and are kept on board for a long time, they may easily cause trouble.

He was so busy that he had no time to rest, while Wang Yunxiao was extremely idle.

He is simply incapable of doing the work of a professional staff officer. The only purpose of his promotion is that Wei Liuyun needs to rely on his military strength to suppress the entire fleet. Staff officer is just a figurehead.

So his job now is to stand in the command room and look at the scenery or drink coffee.

On the fifth day after arriving in Penglai, the squadron finally weighed anchor and set sail south into the Yellow Sea.

According to the order issued by the flagship headquarters, a complex hydrological environment with multiple time and space folds appeared in the Yellow Sea.

Unless necessary, the squadron should try not to enter dangerous waters.

After all, the main task of the Northern Fleet this time is to resist the impact of time and space tidal shocks on coastal cities.

That being said, space-time folding is something that cannot be seen or touched. Whether you can enter it is not a question of whether you are willing or not, but a question of whether you are lucky or not.

Wang Yunxiao felt that he was not that lucky.

If there was a data panel, he felt that almost none of his attribute points went into luck.

As for where the point went, don't ask.

On the second day after the squadron entered the Yellow Sea, the sea was covered with dark clouds, violent storms, huge waves, and it was pitch dark.

Wang Yunxiao relied on his intuition and gave two suggestions to change course.

And Wei Liuyun chose to believe unconditionally every time.

As the saying goes, trust the people you employ. There are not so many twists and turns between soldiers. The easiest way to understand each other is to fight.

Wei Liuyun didn’t know what kind of person Wang Yunxiao was, but if he had to choose between the advice of Wang Yunxiao and other strangers, he would definitely listen to Wang Yunxiao’s opinion.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong both times.

The best outcome is nothing happening.

Until a ray of purple light streaked across the sky, tearing a straight crack through the heavy clouds in the sky.

Wang Yunxiao raised his head and saw the shadow of a phoenix flying through the air.

In a trance, a memory suddenly appeared in his mind.

That was in Penglai. The old general was unwilling to surrender, and relied on his many years of martial arts to fight back. However, he was knocked unconscious by a simple punch from him.

After dealing with his own affairs, he didn't know how to place those delicate girls. Just when Wang Yunxiao was worried about this, a girl named Xiaoyu stepped forward and told him the tragic life stories of these girls, saying that they were now homeless and if the military officer could not take them in, they would have to end up in prostitution.

After going back and forth, he finally found a suitable place to settle the girls down. Wang Yunxiao also tasted the delicious taste of the local specialty, braised large yellow croaker...

Why is it still the same script?
Don't you ever change your script-writing routine?
Just as Wang Yunxiao was silently looking through his memories, he heard a mournful cry of a phoenix from outside the endless void, and the thousands of feet of colorful clouds dissipated.

The memory in his mind also melted away, as if it had never existed.

Wang Yunxiao didn’t know what exactly happened. He just guessed that Yanmie might have met a ruthless person this time.

Just say, you go back and forth through the city gates in the timeline? Isn't there a price to pay for modifying reality at will?

A big shot like this who has risen to a high position will not die easily. I just hope she can be quiet for a while and not make trouble again.

As the phoenix streaked across the sky, the violent storms and gales disappeared, and soon after, the shadow of land was seen ahead.

But this is not something to be happy about.

"Isn't it right?"

"Are there coconut trees in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas?"

When they observed the coconut trees on the shore through the telescope, everyone's faces became serious.

This latitude span is a bit too large.

If it is just a change in latitude, it is not a big problem. What I am worried about is the change in dimension.

"Send a telegram immediately to confirm our current location!"

Wei Liuyun appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was actually in his throat.

It would be really fun if this could be pushed to another world line.

"Reply from the port ahead. This is Iju Island. Asking about our order of battle."

"Northern Fleet Mixed Division 2... No, don't report our sequence first, ask for their date!"

"September 1371th, the third year of the Ming Dynasty, November 11st, 1 AD."

Phew, okay, okay.

Wei Liuyun and Wang Yunxiao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

At least it sounds alright.

As long as you don't leave the real world, nothing else is a big problem.

"The port asked us about the ship's departure date and whether we need to enter the port." "No, tell them we just got lost and are now preparing to return inland."

It is enough to determine the specific time and geographical coordinates. Izushi Island is the home port of the Southern Fleet. If nothing unexpected happens, the Southern Fleet should also be patrolling overseas at this time.

If he wants to enter the port, he needs to go through all kinds of messy procedures and processes. Wei Liuyun doesn't want to waste time here.

Just as the fleet began to turn around, a destroyer sped out of the port and headed straight towards them.

Originally, Wei Liuyun didn't want to pay attention to it, thinking that the other party might have some other combat mission. Unexpectedly, the destroyer caught up at an extraordinary speed, driving side by side with his own cruiser at a distance of hundreds of meters.

A distance of several hundred meters is almost equivalent to face-to-face contact by the standards of surface ships.

From this distance, one can clearly see with the naked eye that the signal flags on the other side are waving wildly, signaling them to turn on the voice communication device.

The voice communication device on the ship is actually just a decoration.

In this complex space-time environment, ordinary sounds and images are difficult to effectively transmit information. The only thing that can be used is the multi-dimensional communicator.

Useless, but indispensable.

The information exchange methods within the navy all adopt redundant designs, with flag signals, lights, radio... everything that is necessary is there, and you never know when something may come in handy.

Wang Yunxiao picked up the microphone-like device on the table and slowly turned it with one hand to adjust the frequency. This was the first time he had used this kind of device. If he had not learned relevant knowledge in college, he would not have known what it was.

"Hey Hey hey……"

"Hello! Can you hear me? This is the Yukikaze!"

The energetic voice almost pierced Wang Yunxiao's eardrum.

What the hell?
Wang Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "This is the flagship of the Second Mixed Fleet of the Northern Fleet..."

"I know, I know! We are also from the Northern Fleet! Can you take us home with you?"

Wang Yunxiao held down the microphone and turned to ask Wei Liuyun: "Does the Northern Fleet have the ship Xuefeng?"

"No."

As an official, Wei Liuyun was familiar with the internal information of the fleet. He quickly went through all the active surface ships in his mind, including the warships from Fuso.

There is absolutely no "Yukikaze" unless it is not in the combat sequence.

Wei Liuyun picked up the telescope and walked to the window. He carefully observed the configuration on the deck of the warship that called itself the Snow Wind, and frowned slightly.

"It's not an active equipment. It looks a bit too advanced... Ask the other party about the ship's launch date and the time when the ship was launched."

Wang Yunxiao nodded, released his hand and said loudly: "This is the armored cruiser Xuyang. We have not found your battle sequence. Please report your shipboard date and ship launching time."

After a moment of silence, the other party laughed dryly and said, "Can you be flexible and ask a different question?"

You must be joking, sister!
Wang Yunxiao couldn't help but roll his eyes, put down the phone and told Wei Liuyun: "The other party is lost."

This is clearly a lost ship.

Not all warships can be equipped with escort officers, or in other words, there are very few warships that can have this luxurious configuration.

There is no need to talk about Qi Zhao. Once the Lingguan method is practiced, one can at least start with a cruiser, like Wei Liuyun.

Don't even think about destroyers.

Once one is lost in the tides of time and space for a long time, it will become like the Yukikaze in front of us.

Don’t even mention the shipboard date. Even if you ask her parents now, she may not remember it.

In the past, sailors at sea called this kind of ship a ghost ship.

The following Yukikaze has a clear generation gap compared with existing warships, both in terms of power and firepower configuration on the deck.

Judging from Wang Yunxiao's experience, the firepower configuration is at least at the level of a World War I battle on the world line before he crossed over.

But the Yukikaze in my own world line...is not my own.

"How to do?"

Wang Yunxiao and Wei Liuyun looked at each other.

A lost warship that returned from the future to this point in time, with no way to confirm her identity.

The simplest solution is to take her back with us. No matter how advanced she is, she only has one ship and cannot cause any waves. We can investigate slowly after we go back.

But the real question is - can she go back?

There were not many records of lost ships, not to mention Wei Liuyun and Wang Yunxiao, even in the history of the entire Northern Fleet. The school only taught how to save yourself after getting lost, but never taught how to rescue lost ships that drifted over at other times.

This involves a relatively complex concept of "anchor point".

To put it bluntly, it can be summed up in four words: a tree without roots.

Her home port is not at this point in time, and she does not remember the specific time, so she cannot maintain her existence at this point in time.

Now she is still drifting several hundred meters away, and in the blink of an eye, the ship may disappear.

When you go out for a night run and see a roadside barbecue stall, you can buy two skewers of grilled squid to take home.

But if you see a beautiful woman wearing very cool clothes walking past you, the most you can do is look at her a few more times, but you may not be able to take her home.

The situation where the tools for committing the crime were prepared in advance will not be considered.

"Report the situation here to the flagship."

Wei Liuyun thought for a while and made the most cautious decision, but he also knew that the headquarters flagship would not be able to give any useful suggestions.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Wang Yunxiao spoke.

"What if she suddenly disappears?"

"Since it came from the port of Ishu Island, it has been docked there for a while, so the situation should not be too bad."

There are also different situations for lost ships.

Based on the existing clues, Wang Yunxiao judged that the other party should be the kind that was thrown out by the tide of time and space and could not find its home, rather than a ghost ship that was completely marinated by the tide of time and space.

But this is not absolute. With the tides of time and space, you can see all kinds of things.

To know the specific situation, you still have to go and see it. The conclusion you draw from seeing it with your own eyes is stronger than anything else.

Wei Liuyun actually thought so in his heart, but as the temporary acting commander, all the choices he made had to be cautious.

"I'll give you a set of divine armor?"

"I don't need it."

The cruiser was equipped with the Tianji Divine Armor specially used for boarding operations, but Wang Yunxiao had no need for it at all.

He walked to the edge of the deck and stretched his arms and legs. A blood-red mecha emerged from the void and was draped over him.

The Bagua Yuanqi Furnace behind him spewed out layers of air waves, and the blood-colored mecha instantly soared into the sky, turning into a meteor, crossing the sea surface for hundreds of meters and landing on the front deck of the Xuefeng.
