The little female soldier who was desperate to find her family became a national hero

Thinking of this, Miss Shen let out a heavy breath.

"What? Are you still scared? I told you I can protect you, and I can protect you!"

When Hong Liugong saw that Shen Yiyi had a gloomy face, he thought that Shen Yiyi was still worried about his safety, so he widened his eyes with bloodshot eyes and made promises to Shen Yiyi.

However, it turned out that the old man was not bragging.

Although it seemed that he was going to extort a large sum of money from Shen Yiyi, he was, after all, one of the most senior people on the ship, and was also the person in charge of the entire power system.

So even though the bar was already bustling and packed with people, no one came to Shen Yiyi to glare at her and cause trouble.

The crew members who had just acted ferociously and intimidatingly when they were having dinner in the restaurant, when they walked up to Miss Shen, saw the old man Hong Liugong glaring at them with a bad look, so they rubbed their noses and turned away as if nothing had happened.

Just like this, Shen Yiyi drank slowly with the old man and chatted with him casually, and the relationship between the two seemed to be harmonious.

The two were drinking and chatting when suddenly something strange happened! All the lights on the smuggling ship suddenly went out!

It was already late at night and there was no moonlight outside, so the entire bar suddenly became pitch black.

After a pause of several seconds, the luminous plants planted on the walls of the bar emitted a soft light, barely illuminating the basic outlines of the surrounding objects.

Suddenly, the whole boat began to shake violently again! The shaking frequency was so fast and the amplitude was so large that it seemed as if it was about to fall apart! Miss Shen was immediately frightened and her face was full of fear.

This time, the fear was not pretended, but he was really scared.

Because no matter how strong her personal abilities are, she can be invincible on this ship; no matter how powerful her "exiled immortal" is, she can change into any shape.

But in this boundless ocean, these two things are simply a joke. Once a huge wave hits, not a single hair will be left!

"Oh my God! Could it be that all of my 100-plus pounds are gone here?" Shen Yiyi thought in annoyance, with an expression as if she was about to cry on her face.

But for some reason, the old man opposite, Hong Liugong, was extremely calm and even drank the bottom of the bottle of white wine in front of him in one gulp.

The other crew members of the smuggling ship who were sitting in their seats acted as if nothing had happened and held on to the fixed objects around them.

Some people even took advantage of the dim light to reach into the wallets of their companions. For a moment, the whole bar was filled with laughter.

After a while, the energy supply was restored, and the lights responsible for lighting lit up one by one. The surroundings returned to their original state, as if the sudden darkness and shaking just now were just a dream.

Seeing the fear on Miss Shen's face that had not subsided, the old man said with a mocking look on his face: "Little chicken, is this your first time passing through the fog barrier?"

When Shen Yiyi heard the old man surnamed Hong ask this, she nodded obediently.

"That's what I guessed. Seeing how scared you were, it really made me laugh to death. Hahaha!" Without waiting for Shen Yiyi to reply, Hong Liugong explained to himself:

"People like you who make a living on land naturally have never been through the Misty Sea. There are high concentrations of metal particles everywhere. Although these metal ions are harmless to the human body, they are very harmful to some plants, especially those that are sensitive. So the ships that enter the Misty Sea are basically blind."

"Moreover, a special component in the air of this foggy sea has the potential to cause the compressed energy liquid used on our ship to explode. Fortunately, this component generally only appears at the junction of the foggy sea and the normal sea area, which is the foggy barrier we just passed through."

"So when we pass through there, we need to shut down all the machines that use compressed energy liquid. This is why all our smuggling ships, in addition to the engines that use compressed energy liquid, also have another set of propulsion machines that use fossil energy."

After hearing this, Shen Yiyi suddenly realized where the sudden darkness and violent shaking came from.

But at this point, she asked Hong Liugong curiously: "Master Hong, as far as I know, the profits from your smuggling business should be very high, even huge profits. Sometimes, if you are lucky, one shipload of smuggled goods can be exchanged for two ships. Why don't you exchange for a more advanced ship?"

Hong Liugong raised his drooping eyelids and glanced at Shen Yiyi: "Do you really think this is a luxury cruise ship on a normal route? We can only sail in public waters and those remote routes, so you can often encounter pirates. If it is a new ship, wouldn't it be a big gift package for the pirates? If things go wrong, even the people and the ship will disappear."

Having said that, the old man suddenly leaned his head across the table and leaned close to Shen Yiyi's ear, which scared Miss Shen and she almost slapped her reflexively.

Fortunately, she managed to restrain herself in time. She only heard the old man say mysteriously in Shen Yiyi's ear:

"Don't be fooled by the fact that our ship looks like it's about to be scrapped. In fact, there's a lot of secrets inside. The sensor system and thrusters of our entire ship are super powerful. Back then, Ci Pengpeng's father spent a lot of money to install a set of powerful weapons on the ship, and it's famous for its speed. Otherwise, there are at least 800 transport ships of the Black Pearl's level, if not 1,000. Do you think everyone is qualified to be called the Black Pearl?"

What the old man said does make sense. Generally, a ship of a certain class only has a lead ship, that is, the first ship is qualified to have the same name as the class. For example, the lead ship of the Iowa-class battleship is the "Iowa", and the lead ship of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is the "Nimitz".

The "Black Pearl" is definitely not the first Black Pearl-class transport ship, because this type of transport ship has been around for more than two hundred years.

There is only one possibility. After the first ship of this class is retired or scrapped, a certain ship can inherit the name of this class and become the representative of this class of ships because it has made some great contributions or achieved some world-renowned achievements in the industry.

Perhaps this is the reason why the current "Black Pearl" is so mysterious. It seems that this ship still has some mysteries.

Shen Yiyi thought about this and heard the old man sigh unwillingly. He added, "It's a pity that young people like you who have professional knowledge of machinery can easily find a good job now, so no one is willing to run smuggling anymore."
