My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang nodded his head very carefully. In fact, he knew the waters of Weddell very well.

Although Xiang Yang had never actually been to the Weddell Sea, he did not miss the information about the Weddell Sea.

The Weddell Sea is the southernmost subordinate sea of ​​the Atlantic Ocean. It penetrates the Antarctic continental coast and forms a large recessed bay. It borders the Antarctic Peninsula in the south, the Coates Land in the east, and the vast Firchner and Ronnie ice sheds in the south. Ice barrier.

The entire Weddell Sea is often covered by thick ice. In early summer, the sea ice in the Midwest drifts northward, almost reaching 60° south latitude.

"The Weddell Sea is only the marginal sea of ​​the Antarctic, and part of it even belongs to the South Atlantic. Although it is known to the outside world, it is actually considered good compared to other sea areas in the Antarctic Circle. Since it is in the Antarctic, I support it. Enter the Weddell Sea." Chen Qingsheng suddenly said at this time.

Xiang Yang glanced at Chen Qingsheng, "The rumors can't come from nowhere. Even if we are going, we must not be careless."

The Weddell Sea is a very famous magic sea.

When it comes to the Devil Sea, many people think of the "Devil's Triangle" in Bermuda on the Atlantic Ocean.

The fierce magic sea in the Bermuda Triangle swallowed many ships and planes. What kind of power its "magic" is, and scientists have different opinions, it is still a mystery to this day.

However, in Antarctica, Weddell’s name is even more discolored than the Bermuda Triangle.

Although the magic sea of ​​the Weddell Sea is not as greedily as the Bermuda Triangle devouring ships and aircraft, its "magic power" is not inferior to that of the Bermuda Triangle, and even worse.

Because people’s fear of the Bermuda Triangle stems from the unknown, and the danger is invisible.

As for the danger in the Weddell Sea, people can really feel it and see it.

There is a large amount of drift ice in the Weddell Sea. When sailing in the Weddell Sea, as long as a northerly wind blows, the drift ice will squeeze together to surround the ships. At this time, even if the ships will not be hit by the drift ice, they cannot leave this vast expanse. Ice sea.

Ships trapped by the north wind have to stay in the ice sheet of the Weddell Sea for at least one year, and will not be able to escape the Weddell Sea until the next summer.

The survivability of living in Antarctica for a year is extremely small. Due to the limited food and fuel during the year, especially the winter blizzards in the Weddell Sea, most of the troubled ships cannot leave the magic sea of ​​Weddell. They Will always "sleep" in the ice sea of ​​Antarctica.

Xiang Yang asked himself, if he was trapped in the Weddell Sea by the drift ice brought by the north wind for a year, would he survive?

The answer is definitely no good.

In the first two months, the crew of Xiangyang Xiangyang was able to live well on board with fresh water and supplies.

Starting from the third month, you have to start eating the fish caught on the boat to eat your belly. Fresh water doesn't need to worry much.

At most half a year, the fuel on the ship will be consumed, and by that time, you will really have to wait for death on the ship.

In addition to the terrifying north wind, whales and seals in the Weddell Sea are also a major threat.

In summer, in the azure waters of the Weddell Sea, whales flock in groups. They often spray and play in the crevices of drift ice. Don't look at them leisurely and contentedly, they are actually very fierce.

Leopard seals in particular are terrible Antarctic creatures that will actively hunt fishermen. Many fishermen trapped in Antarctica have died in the hands of leopard seals.

When a leopard seal finds someone hunting for food on the ice or under the water, it will suddenly break through the ice from the sea, stretch its head and bite it. The slender, pointed mouth can bite a person's bones off in one bite, and its ferocity is creepy. It is the presence of leopard seals that makes it more difficult for people trapped in the Weddell Sea to survive.

If you don't encounter the terrifying north wind, many ships can leisurely pass through the devil's waters in the Weddell Sea.

But once it encounters a terrifying north wind, let alone a fleet of temporary fleets like Xiang Yang and others, many large fishing nations, naval powers, and state machinery will not be able to sail out of the devil's waters when they operate.

my country's Antarctic scientific research team is one of the few Antarctic scientific expedition teams that have conquered the Weddell waters.

On January 21, 2005, my country's polar expedition ship "Xuelong" began to sail south along the 8° West longitude line in the Weddell waters.

On the 22nd, the "Xuelong" carrying my country's 21st Antarctic expedition team crossed the 70° south latitude for the first time and entered the depths of the Weddell "Devil" waters, creating the highest latitude for Chinese ships to sail south. Record.

In the arc-shaped bay along the Antarctic continent in the Weddell Sea, large and small ice blocks are all over the sea. The "Xuelong" carefully avoided the big icebergs and conducted marine surveys in this "devil" sea area, and basically completed scientific research projects such as seawater sampling and biological resource surveys.

On the 24th, my country's Antarctic expedition dropped its first buoy on an iceberg in the Weddell Sea. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

This polar region buoy developed by our country can continuously send the temperature change and specific position of the iceberg from the drifting iceberg to the country via satellite.

Since then, our country has finally become one of the few countries in the world that has defeated the Weddell "devil" waters.

However, even though the Weddell Sea is so dangerous, there are still many fishermen from various countries who are willing to take risks there every year.

Because the Weddell Sea has the cleanest, clearest and most transparent water in the world.

On October 13, 1986, scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany, put a standard Sage disc with a diameter of 30 cm into the water until it reached a depth of 80 meters. I couldn't see the disc, and its clarity was comparable to distilled water.

The fish caught in such clean waters are sought after by rich people all over the world, and the price is very expensive.

The same crab may be produced in other sea areas and only sell for tens of dollars a catty, and as long as it is produced in the Weddell sea area, the price will increase several times, or even ten times.

Although the danger is a bit more dangerous, as long as you can tow a boat back in the Weddell Sea, it will immediately be a big profit.

The fishermen are a group of people who are more adventurous than gamblers.

Chen Qingsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He is a person who has really been to the Antarctic waters or even the Weddell waters. How can I not know how dangerous the Weddell waters are.

"Go or not, Captain, let you make the decision. Whether to go or not, we should make a decision now." Chen Qingsheng said.

Xiang Yang nodded, this sentence is true.

If he wants to go, he will have to prepare more cold-proof materials and fuel, and be prepared to stay in Antarctica for a year.
