Devil's Day

In the middle of the night one day in the late summer of 1908. A British cargo ship quietly sailed into the Gulf of the Indian Ocean. In order to avoid the eyes and ears, the cargo ship turned off all the lights. With decades of sailing experience, the captain skillfully commanded the ship to move slowly.

　　When the cargo ship entered a bay. The captain breathed a sigh of relief. Because the sailing icon is clear. The dangerous reef waters have passed, and you can reach your destination smoothly by driving forward for a few dozen nautical miles. So, the captain ordered that, except for the staff on duty, the rest of the people can rest for an hour and a half. Because once the ship docks, there will be quite intense and heavy work waiting for everyone.

　　Twenty minutes later, the crew members who had just fallen asleep were suddenly awakened by a strong vibration, and they didn't wait for everyone to take their place. The cargo ship had already started to spin, and then the sea water flooded the side of the ship and the podium...

　　At the same time, the International Maritime Emergency Center received a set of extremely brief emergency calls from the cargo ship, but before it could respond, the cargo ship's signal suddenly stopped and then disappeared without a trace.

　　The sudden sinking of the cargo ship attracted great attention from the British government. Because what was on board was not ordinary cargo, but a batch of various light and heavy weapons and ammunition sufficient to equip an infantry division. If this matter leaks out, it will surely cause quite troublesome international disputes between Britain and the countries of the Indian peninsula.

　　After receiving the report from the International Navigation Emergency Center, the United Kingdom immediately dispatched three large low-altitude reconnaissance planes and a multi-functional ambulance boat to the waters where the accident occurred, but after half a month of searching, no information about the cargo ship was obtained. Information.

　　A year later, in the late summer of 1909, another case of the disappearance of a ship shocked the international maritime world. This time it was a French cargo ship that was killed. The location and time of the accident exactly matched the British shipwreck, and the situation was roughly the same: after only a distress signal was sent, there was no further news. Afterwards, the International Navigation Emergency Center dispatched a strong search team, and as a result, the black box thrown by the French cargo ship was found. From the black box, everyone obtained a record of the horrific scene at that time. But what is the reason, no one can know. Out of frustration, the emergency center had to set up a striking nautical sign in this area, named "Devil's Navigation Day", and at the same time issued a warning to the navigation agencies of various countries: at the same time every year, no ships are allowed to travel in this area..

　　Although the shipwreck has come to an end for the time being, a thick shadow has always shrouded David Field's mind. He is a senior researcher at the International Navigation Emergency Center and has led a search team to the waters where the accident occurred. It was the first time he had encountered such a difficult subject after so many years of work. For this matter, he had made several assumptions: ocean eddies suddenly formed by a huge spinning typhoon, regular visits of aliens, etc., but in the end they were all denied. He also thought of the possibility of huge culverts on the seabed, because culverts would form terrifying vortices. But why is there nothing wrong with each other on weekdays, but only at that moment in the late summer, it shows the diabolical hideousness?

　　When the vacation period arrived, David took his wife and children on the cruise ship "Royal" and prepared to go sightseeing in the Mediterranean Sea. There were not many tourists on board, and everyone sat on the deck to taste drinks. David casually picked up a copy of the "Star of the Four Seas" on the bar, and a striking headline caught his eye: "A strong earthquake occurred in the waters of Japan on the same day for five consecutive years, like the wrath of the devil." He then read it carefully, and couldn't help shouting: "So it is!" The shouting shocked the four people. Attention, David held his wife's hands excitedly: "Look, this day exactly matches the date of the accident in the Indian Ocean Gulf. It's just one area of time difference. "Before his wife could answer. David had already run to the captain's room and asked to take him to shore in a dinghy. He wanted to fly back to the studio immediately. Check this news.

　　Two hours later, David was already sitting at his desk in his studio, and he connected with the International Geological Research Center, asking for cooperation and technical assistance. At the same time, he connected with the workstation of the International Navigation Emergency Center in Japan, requesting comprehensive technical cooperation.

　　In the late summer of 1910, that terrible moment was coming again. The International Navigation Emergency Center and the Geological Research Center were on standby, and various monitoring instruments set up in the Gulf of the Indian Ocean and the waters of Japan had entered operation. When the alarm bell turned on the red light, David saw through the monitor the red and white buoys called "Devil's Day of Navigation", which suddenly spun violently and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye. After testing, the energy of the vortex is enough to drag more than a dozen aircraft carriers into the seabed at the same time. At this time. The Japanese side also sent a telegram, and after monitoring, there was a violent magma eruption on the seafloor there. It can be concluded that under the seafloor of the above two places. There is an active magma flow that is regularly oriented. Once it erupted, magma jets appeared on the seafloor of Japan, and at the same time, huge crustal depressions appeared on the seafloor of the Indian Ocean, forming huge vortices there.

　　When the truth came out, David's monitoring report won a special award from the International Navigation Congress. In 1930, the "Devil's Voyage Day" mark was removed because, as determined by the Geological Research Center in 1915, the magma flow connecting the Sea of Japan and the bottom of the Indian Ocean had entered a "dormant" state. It is estimated that it will not recover for a thousand years. Therefore, the "Devil's Voyage Day" mark has entered the era of museums.
