Chapter 13 The Outlying Island Project

    【13】

    Although the speedboat that Yuan Ning used before is old, its performance is not bad in all aspects. There is also a cabin that can shelter from wind and rain, and it can be used with a little repair.

    In addition, she was able to get out of trouble on the sea where the tsunami was approaching, and accurately identify the direction to return to the area of ​​Island L safely. It can be seen that she can also do the third point.

    The most difficult thing is the second point. Youxi asked the local sailors who have sailing experience before. It is conservatively estimated that it is 1,200 nautical miles from Island L to the nearest mainland. For ordinary small and medium-sized speedboats, it takes about 40 nautical miles per hour at a constant speed. Nautical miles, while the fuel tank of a speedboat ranges from 50 to 150 liters.

    Based on a 150-liter fuel tank, it can run for more than 3 hours after being filled up.

    1,200 nautical miles requires at least 30 hours of sailing. The speedboat cannot run at full speed for 24 hours, and the main engine will have problems. Insurance is about 8 to 10 hours a day. It takes at least three days in the sea.

    Converted to fuel, it is estimated to be around 1500 liters.

    Where to get so much fuel is a problem, but it's not impossible.

    It’s just that it’s impossible for ordinary speedboats to have such a large fuel tank, but if diesel barrels are used to carry with the ship, so much fuel will cost nearly 1,300 kilograms, and some small speedboats can’t even carry it due to their limited load.

    Even within weight limits, a large amount of fuel can be dangerous on a rough boat. The sea is no better than land. In case of accidents, there is nowhere to escape, and the only result is to be buried in the vast sea.

    However, You Xi has room.

    The fuel barrels can be stacked high, and the safety factor is 100%.

    But for her, the biggest difficulty is here. Can she persuade the other party to leave together without revealing the space?

    How to secretly transfer fuel to space after persuasion?

    After she proposed this plan, Yuan Ning also focused on the second issue: the source and storage of fuel.

    Island L is too far away from other continents, and other islands within the range of the returning sea route were also hit by the tsunami and could not be used as a transit point. As for the large ships on Island L, almost all were destroyed by the tsunami, and the speedboats that can still be used today are basically all It was a small to medium-sized boat. When the tsunami happened, it was the same as Yuan Ning's speedboat. It was in the deep sea and with an experienced helmsman, it was lucky to survive.

    If these ships were not able to carry everyone for a long-distance voyage, the people on the island would probably find a way to leave early in the morning.

    Between taking a risk and staying safe, most people can easily choose the latter.

    The same is true for Yuan Ning. The current situation is not so bad that he has to leave, but leaving is destined to be an adventure.

    She frowned and pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Actually, it's not impossible at all. We can think of ways to source the fuel...but it takes time to prepare. Besides, my injury is not fully healed yet, so It’s definitely not good to go to sea in the state. You wait for me for a few more days, and I will give you an accurate answer in five days.”
