Chapter 736
At that time, the metal plate was falling towards her, but Qi Mingyu protected her under his body without hesitation.
Qi Mingyu smiled and said, "Silly girl, I am your husband. In times of crisis, it is my instinct to protect you! So, don't be sad. I am glad that you are not hurt!"
Zhou Shuwan's tears burst forth, all falling onto his neck. The temperature on the mothership was very low, and these tears were icy cold, seeming to chill him from his bones to his heart.
Qi Mingyu paused, then gently stroked her back with both hands and patted her softly. His voice was slow and steady, with a reassuring power: "Wanwan, I don't regret it. Don't feel any psychological burden, and don't cry like this. It will hurt me..."
He has never been one to say sweet words!
But at this moment, the word "heartache" made Zhou Shuwan truly feel his love and care...
At this time, he still didn't want to make her cry or sad...
Zhou Shuwan raised his head, tears welling up in his eyes, but his voice was filled with determination: "Brother Xiaoyu, I will definitely cure you! I will!"
In the end times, losing eyesight is almost equivalent to losing two-thirds of your combat effectiveness.
Qi Mingyu has always been the one who charges forward, but now he can't see anything. Such a gap is undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
She secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she must find a way to cure him.
During the days when the Zhou family was worried about Qi Mingyu's eyes, the navy on the mother ship was also very busy.
In order to prevent thunderstorms from happening again, technicians from the navy and the carrier are working day and night to carry out lightning protection modifications.
They used every possible means to collect materials, including steel bars, iron wires, aluminum alloy plates, and even felled trees to make simple lightning rods.
Fortunately, the warehouse on the mothership is very large and contains a lot of resources.
We have all of these things!
On the deck, busy figures can be seen everywhere, and the lights shining on their faces make them look particularly resolute.
This is not just about transforming an aircraft carrier, but also about their desire for life and hope for the future.
Without electricity and resources, they resorted to the ancient method of using lightning rods to avoid lightning.
Collect the remaining metal parts on the aircraft carrier, such as steel bars, iron wires, and broken aluminum alloy plates, and wrap multiple layers of wet seaweed and other plant fibers on the surface to enhance conductivity.
There are sharp metal fragments fixed on the top. The mothership's hull and equipment were severely damaged in this thunderstorm disaster. There are many broken bolts, iron corners and other things, so there is no need to search hard.
Then a metal pole is erected at the highest point of the aircraft carrier, and the bottom of the pole is connected to the seawater contact area at the bottom of the aircraft carrier with a wire, guiding lightning from the metal pole into the seawater to prevent it from directly hitting the hull during thunderstorms.
Now that the ancient lightning rod has been successfully modified, they can stay on the mothership with peace of mind for the time being.
Otherwise, if this happens again, they will suffer heavy losses like before.
The Zhou family has been busy taking care of Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu, but they have also heard the general situation.
When a thunderstorm occurred, large amounts of lightning struck the deck of the mother ship directly. On the deck were survivors who had just been rescued and naval officers and soldiers who were helping with the rescue.
Although the navy had evacuated the survivors to the cabin in an emergency, some people were inevitably struck by lightning, and the bodies on the scene emitted a strong burnt smell.
Not to mention the survivors who were rowing or swimming towards the mother ship in the sea. They had no protection at all and could only be attacked by the thunderstorm in the waves!
Zhong Tiyun heard the family members of the injured patient in the adjacent bed talking about this incident while she was taking care of her unconscious daughter.
As they spoke, there was a rare moment of peace in the rescue area hall.
Gradually, no one knew who started it, but many people began to cry quietly, covering their mouths.
It seems that God is unwilling to give them even a way to survive. They are already living such a difficult life, but God still wants to take away their last hope!
At that time, Zhong Tiyun looked at her daughter lying on the bed with a high fever and a red face, and then thought of her son-in-law who was suffering from brain injury in the intensive care unit. She covered her face and cried uncontrollably.
She suddenly thought of the deceased Grandma Pang.
She even thought that it would be nice to die peacefully like Grandma Pang, without having to go through all this again...
But then she became alert again.
Compared to other people, their family has no shortage of resources or food, and they live a pretty good life!
In the past ten years since the end of the world, they have never been hungry.
They are a family that is together, they should be content!
Now, as long as Wanwan and Xiaoyu are well, as long as they are well, then it doesn't matter...
When Zhou Shuwan woke up, he heard that thirty or forty people were killed or injured in the thunderstorm.
They were all on the deck and had no time to hide!
There are more than twenty navy members and more than twenty civilians.
Captain Chen was also on the deck at the time, personally directing the navy's rescue efforts.
There was a thunderstorm and he was nearly hit, but his adjutant pushed him aside and saved him.
And he sacrificed himself.
Captain Chen was a serious and unsmiling soldier, but after the thunderstorm, he held the charred body of his adjutant, his eyes red, and remained silent for a long time.
However, he had to arrange all kinds of work on the entire mothership.
He forced himself to cheer up, organized the navy to gather the corpses, and then transformed the mothership to prepare for the next thunderstorm disaster.
In addition to building lightning rods, core areas also need to be protected by insulation isolation.
I don’t know what the current situation is on Hope Island No. 2, but planting soil is actually very precious.
However, in order to avoid lightning, after discussion, the navy still used planting soil, sand and seawater mixed together, and applied it to the partitions of the aircraft carrier cabin and the gaps on the deck to form an insulating layer, doing their utmost to keep the mother ship safe!
The cold wind blew, and waves rolled up to hit the steel body of the mothership, making a low and rhythmic roar.
After a few days, the sea returned to calm.
However, the sudden thunderstorm a few days ago was like a deep scar, engraved in the hearts of every survivor.
Captain Chen decided to hold a funeral ceremony for the sailors and civilians who died in the thunderstorm disaster.
Simple wooden boats, like black coffins floating on the sea, are lined up quietly.
Dozens of bodies soaked in gasoline emitted a faint burnt smell in the breeze, and the air was filled with an indescribable sense of tragedy and solemnity.
Zhou Shuwan stood in the crowd, holding Qi Mingyu's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm.
They all didn't want Qi Mingyu to come out, but he insisted on participating.
There is no choice but to respect his wishes.
Although he couldn't see, he could feel the atmosphere around him. He pursed his lips silently, held Zhou Shuwan's hand tightly, and his heart was solemn.
Captain Chen walked to the first small boat and slowly lit the torch.
