Chapter 651 Why do warships get bigger when they go abroad?

Ding-ling-ling——!
The red light was flashing, and the sirens were blaring.
"Alert! Pirates have invaded! Everyone proceed to the safe room immediately!"

"Everyone, proceed to the safe room immediately!"

The loudspeaker blared frantically, accompanied by the sirens, and the screen flickered.

The crew, tense yet organized; the pirates, laughing maniacally with guns; the ship's police, holding their guns and gritting their teeth in determination...

Bang bang bang!

AK gunshots rang out, and the ship's police and pirates exchanged fire.

The pirates roared and screamed incoherently, their crew members moved with standard and agile tactics, but they were outnumbered and could only fight and retreat.

The original version of this scene on the merchant ship is actually somewhat unrealistic.

Crew members undergo extensive safety training, ensuring they don't panic and lose their composure in emergencies.

The same goes for the ship police; they may be weak in firepower and outnumbered, but they are no pushovers!

The original version of the ship police and pirates was described as a militia encountering elite forces.

The ship's police were completely overwhelmed by the pirates.

This is actually a bit outrageous, because in China, those who can handle guns are all professionals, either retired soldiers or retired police officers.

Their tactical capabilities couldn't possibly be that weak.

Moreover, they have bulletproof vests, while pirates... some are so poor they don't even have clothes!
Not to mention bulletproof vests?

Therefore, Qi Hui made certain modifications here.

On screen, the pirates are numerous and powerful, and although many of them are knocked down, they still charge forward with a roar.

Inside the venue, the audience watching the screen were instantly drawn in, and they became tense as the pirates closed in.

Many actors and directors picked up their watches and looked at them with a hint of surprise.

Because less than a minute had passed in the movie.

To be able to build up the tension to this level in just one minute... Qi Hui's directing skills are truly impressive!

In the front row, the director sat with his legs crossed, leaning back in his chair, watching with complete relaxation.

He's just a retired old man. He can sit and relax while watching the movie, is that alright?
The opening scene was filmed very well. The crew's reactions, the ship's police fighting, and the pirates... from his perspective, none of the factors had any major problems.

"Captain, the third mate and most of the crew have entered the safe room." On the screen, the scene shifted to the bridge of the container ship, where the first mate said nervously:

"What do we do now?"

"Send a distress signal to the escort fleet!" a middle-aged, slightly chubby captain said in a deep voice, while holding up his binoculars.

The camera followed their words and then focused on the view through the telescope.

There were several warships inside, but they weren't from our country; they were Japanese.

"Uh... Captain, that's not our escort formation," the second mate reminded him.

“It doesn’t matter,” the first mate retorted. “They’ve expanded their escort range; all merchant ships are within it.”

If this were the actual situation, these two lines of dialogue would not exist.

But isn't this a movie? So we're explaining some navigation rules to the audience.

As he spoke, the first mate pressed the buttons on his communication device to send a distress signal: "The merchant ship Natural Selection has been attacked by pirates. Requesting rescue! Requesting rescue!"

Soon, a series of Japanese words came over the radio:
"We have received a distress call from Natural Selection. Please hold on, hold on, and you will be victorious and rescued!"

"Fuck them!" the captain roared, throwing down his binoculars. "Damn those Japanese!"

The first mate picked up his binoculars; the warship in the distance remained motionless.

But the radio was still repeating the message from the other side: "Hold on tight, and you will be saved."

"Damn Japanese!" the first mate cursed viciously.

"Captain, what should we do?" the second mate asked anxiously. Should they abandon the Natural Selection?
The camera pans to the command of the opposing warship, where several Japanese officers are holding binoculars and speaking briefly.

The meaning is simple: they promised to help, but it depends on whether the merchant ships can hold out.

His tone was playful and teasing.

They don't care at all whether someone lives or dies.

Inside the venue, the audience members all wore cold expressions, their anger fully ignited.

Nobody thought the plot was wrong; the Japanese had caused trouble at sea more than once or twice.

Forget about the Japanese, even their own father, the Americans, are stirring up trouble right now!

It would be normal for them not to rescue them; it would be problematic if they did. Just as the Japanese commander was making sarcastic remarks, a D-flag suddenly rose under the five-star red flag on the merchant ship in their binoculars.

"What? The Natural Selection is out of control?" the commander exclaimed in surprise, and then suddenly saw a huge merchant ship speeding towards them.

The scene cuts back to the merchant ship's bridge.

"Captain, what do we do?" the second mate asked anxiously.

The captain roared, "Raise the D flag, turn three, and ram the Japanese warship! Is there no problem with that?"

You're going to stand by and watch someone drown? Then I'll drag you down with me!
Do we need to talk about morality with the Japanese?

"No problem!" the first mate shouted.
"No problem!" the second mate, helmsman, and chief engineer shouted.
At the same time, a caption appeared on the screen explaining: [The meaning of the D flag: Our ship is out of control, please stay away!]

"Hahahaha..." The captain, filled with boundless pride, felt a sudden sense of vastness and boundless freedom, and couldn't help but burst into laughter:
"Today the sky is clear and the blue waves are high, the D flag flies on the lead mast, commanding barbarian ships to flee at the mere sound of the wind, this old man will ram them but not salvage them!"

Go talk to my bulbous bow!
"Natural Selection, forward four..."

In the venue, countless audience members were moved by the heroic spirit and the poem, and subconsciously sat up straight.

Concentrate!

In the crowd, Guo Fan also stood tall and proud, as if he wanted to roar to the sky and show off his heroic spirit!
I never expected to see the Natural Selection ship from The Three-Body Problem here!

Not bad, not worse than Zhang Beihai in The Three-Body Problem!
But just then, a familiar Chinese voice came over the radio: "Natural Selection, a naval warship calling!"

The content was simple, and the tone was calm, but it suddenly made people feel at ease.

Our navy is here!
The scene shifts, and three enormous, sea-gray warships speed in, cutting through the waves in a mighty torrent.

"it is good!"

"Hahaha!"

"It's here, it's finally here!"

"..."

Immediately, a commotion erupted in the audience, with cheers and applause echoing throughout the venue.

On the big screen, three enormous ships roared in like three towering mountains.

Majestic and imposing, with a magnificent presence!
In the 3D visuals, the enormous warship looks as if it's about to crush your face.

It's enough to make your heart tremble; even those without megalophobia are forced to develop it.

"My God... Are warships really that big?"

"Is this real? Where would you find a warship that big?"

"How was this filmed? Qi Hui's image is way too large!"

"Holy shit... Holy shit!!"

Exclamations of surprise rang out. The audience, who had just begun to feel the joy of being rescued, were overwhelmed with awe at the sight of the magnificent and enormous warship.

They couldn't understand; weren't they just missile frigates and replenishment ships?
How can it be so big?
Even an aircraft carrier isn't that big!

Didn't they used to be like small fishing boats?

How come I got bigger after going abroad?

Qi Hui listened to the noisy sounds in the venue and was speechless for a moment.

Military enthusiasts have it so tough. They finally get to eat the real thing, the good stuff, and then they start to feel something's off.

It's all the fault of the Strategic Deception Bureau!

"The D flag? They actually want to ram a warship?" On the bridge, Long Baichuan... Captain Wang Qiang chuckled, then immediately gave the order:
"The Jiaolong Commando Unit primarily targets enemies at sea with expulsion and warnings."

"We will not fire the first shot, but will instead injure and kill first!"

The scene shifts to a helicopter slowly taking off, filled with Jiaolong Commando members equipped with military exoskeletons.

Each held long guns and short cannons, their swords and halberds gleaming, their killing intent palpable.

"Captain," the instructor, played by Qi Hui, asked, "What about the pirates who have already boarded the ship?"

"Merchant ships are our territory," the captain said coldly. "All invading enemies will be killed without mercy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another burst of noise and applause erupted from the audience.

awesome!

handy!
