Setting: Fictional parallel universe, please do not reference historical events!
Bai Fumei Su Qingci, who managed a farm in modern times, was sent to the 1970s as a young educated youth by Ce...
Su Qingci went to the control room again to study how to steer the ship.
The huge control panel not only had various lights but also several small handles, some of which resembled the gear shift levers of a modern manual transmission car, while others were as small as a cigarette.
There's also a steering wheel on the seat next to you.
"What kind of old-fashioned cruise ship is this?"
"Don't modern yachts only have forward and reverse gears?"
"What are these red and green buttons?"
"Red light means stop, green light means go? There's no yellow light either."
Su Qingci fumbled around for a while, pressing several buttons, but still couldn't find the trick.
After studying it for a while, she discovered that it resembled an old-fashioned computer mainframe, with several buttons on the cabinet below.
"Could this be the start button?"
Su Qingci hesitated for a moment before pressing the button.
"Boom! Clang! Clang!"
It sounds like the sound of a tractor starting up on a TV.
The entire cruise ship trembled slightly.
Su Qingci's eyes lit up; she had found the right button.
She tried pushing the handle on the console forward.
The engine, which had just been prepared, was driving the propeller, which was more than 1 meter in diameter, to spin rapidly beneath the cruise ship.
The cruise ship on the sea began to move slowly forward.
Su Qingci was overjoyed. Holy crap, she's a talent! She can drive a cruise ship now, and she's even self-taught!
Wait, what direction is this facing now?
Su Qingci waved her hand, took out her phone, and opened the compass app.
Just as she looked up, something protruding not far in front of her caught her attention.
As the cruise ship slowly approached, Su Qingci felt a little nervous. Could it be a hidden reef? It would be terrible if they hit it.
It seems the Titanic sank after hitting a reef, right?
"No, no, no~"
"We can't get any closer~"
Su Qingci tried to turn the handle.
Pull it back, damn it, it started backing away rapidly.
I simply pressed the engine button below.
Pick up the binoculars from the control panel and look ahead.
What is that? It's blurry and not very clear.
Su Qingci left the control room, ran to the deck, and carefully looked ahead through binoculars.
"Doesn't this look like a whale that died on the surface of the sea?"
Su Qingci put down her binoculars, stood in front for a while, and decided to go and take a look.
They launched a small boat, stopped the cruise ship in place, and rowed the small boat forward.
After thinking it over, they realized it wasn't safe, so they went back to their original plan and brought the cruise ship to the farm.
What if something unexpected happens later, or the wind picks up again and the cruise ship gets blown away?
Su Qingci rowed the small boat slowly toward the enormous creature that was exposed on the sea surface.
When she was about 40 or 50 meters away, she could finally see clearly.
A huge ship's bow protruding from the water.
Eighty percent of the ship's hull and stern were submerged, with only about twenty percent of the bow deck remaining above water.
Su Qingci's heart stirred.
Look at all this rust, could it be an ancient ocean-going cargo ship?
In my past life, I often saw news about ship salvage operations online, mentioning how many antique porcelains and treasures were unearthed.
Suppressing her excitement, she waved her arms and slowly rowed the small boat closer.
As she got closer, the excitement on her face faded. She saw something that looked like an antenna, and through a glass window protruding from the water, she could see the control panel inside the control room.
This is a modern industrial ship.
But how did it sink here? What happened to the people on board?
What is being transported on the boat?
Su Qingci looked puzzled. After getting closer, she waved her hand without thinking and brought the large ship into the farm. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she disappeared into the sea with the small boat.
The huge fishing boat lay quietly on the vast lawn.
The seawater inside the cabin was still flowing out with a splash, then disappearing onto the grass.
Holding a steel fork, Su Qingci appeared on the deck with a thought.
"Huh, dead, a dead person..."
As soon as she stepped onto the deck, Su Qingci's expression changed drastically. A corpse with its face covered was lying face down on the floor by the deck railing.
Su Qingci slowly walked over and took a quick look. The faces were still of East Asian descent. Thinking of the storm last night, the ship must have been an industrial vessel that hadn't escaped the natural disaster.
I have a bad feeling. I don't know whose husband or son died so suddenly at sea.
Using her mind, she controlled the man to lift him into the air and slowly place him on the lawn below the boat.
It hadn't turned white or swollen yet, and its facial features were still clearly visible, so it was estimated to have been dead for no more than ten hours.
After dealing with the male corpse on the deck, Su Qingci slowly walked inside.
There was no one in the control room, and the main console only suffered minor water damage. If the engine and other components are not damaged, it can probably be repaired and reused later.
The first floor was quickly ransacked by Su Qingci, and a total of five corpses were found.
Everyone on the ship had East Asian faces and attire, leading Su Qingci to guess that the ship likely belonged to China.
The second floor was filled with individual rooms, and several more corpses were found. Judging from the thick calluses on their hands, their sun-darkened skin, and their patched clothes, they were all poor people.
Su Qingci felt a pang of sadness. This person was probably the pillar of the family, and losing such a pillar would be a devastating blow to the family.
