My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 693: The world's first iceberg

If he doesn't go, he should contact the icebreaker now, and after parting ways with the fleet, he can continue to sail in this Antarctic circle.

In short, as long as it is determined that the fleet is going to the Weddell Sea, whether Xiang Yang is going or not, it is now necessary to make preparations.

"Well, don't worry, wait a while and I will ask Mr. Gao to see if he really wants to go to the Weddell waters before making a decision." Xiang Yang said after a moment of contemplation.

Chen Qingsheng and Xu Fang looked at each other, and immediately agreed to Xiang Yang's approach.

Yes.

Everything is speculation now, what if someone Gao Chuang never thought about going to the Weddell Sea?

Soon, Gao Chuang emerged from the bottom of the ocean floor. While taking off his diving equipment, he smiled and said, "I'm old and can't dive anymore. If I'm young, I will go down again and don't use up this tank of oxygen. , I will never come up. I have only swam for a while now, and I feel like I'm falling apart."

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "Although there are diving equipment, it is not good for people to stay underwater for a long time. Mr. Gao, I suggest that you do not dive for more than half an hour each time. After half an hour, you have to go ashore to rest. After a while, add some heat and moisture."

Gao Chuang smiled and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll pay attention later."

"By the way, why did you and your people come up? Are you replenishing your physical strength and water on the boat?" Gao Chuang suddenly turned his head and looked at the deck, and the people who saw Xiang Yang were all on the deck, asking strangely.

"No, my people and I found the spiny ball and the small blue-ringed octopus under the seabed. I forbid them to go down." Xiang Yang replied truthfully.

"What? Spines?" Gao Chuang suddenly turned his head.

"Yeah." Xiang Yang nodded very surely.

Gao Chuang frowned, "That really means you can't dive anymore."

The spiny ball is not the same as the small blue-ringed octopus.

Although the small blue-ringed octopus is highly poisonous, it generally does not actively attack creatures larger than itself. When it encounters a marine creature larger than it attacks, the small blue-ringed octopus will even light up its bright protective color first. Intimidate the other party, and then launch an offense as a last resort.

The spines are different.

Spines usually like to hide in the sand under the sea without moving.

As long as there is a creature close to it, no matter who or what the other party is, it must be pierced up. It is recognized as one of the most disliked marine creatures by all fishermen.

Of course.

The spiny ball is not as strong as the toxin of the blue-ringed octopus.

If someone is unfortunately stabbed by a spiny ball, at least it will hurt, and the crew can immediately know that they are injured.

As long as he can swim back to the deck before the poison goes out, he can basically be rescued.

"Yes, for safety's sake, let's call all the brothers on the bottom of the sea in a while." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

"By the way, Mr. Gao, where are we going next?" Xiang Yang asked casually.

Chen Qingsheng and Xu Fang both pricked their ears. Of these two, Xu Fang really didn't want to go to the Weddell Sea to take an adventure. Chen Qingsheng was a little bit conflicted. On the one hand, he was also afraid of the Weddell Sea. On the other hand, he was a little looking forward to it.

"No, why, do you have any good recommendations?" Gao Chuang asked, turning his head.

"Uh."

Xiang Yang froze for a moment, then smiled embarrassingly: "I watched the course of our fleet. Previously, it had been heading towards the Weddell waters. So I want to know if we are going to the Weddell waters. If so, I'll be fine. Prepare in advance."

"Weddell Sea, that's not a good place."

Gao Chuang rubbed his chin, "Speaking of which, I was trapped twice in the Weddell Sea."

"What?" Xiang Yang was shocked when he heard this, "Gao, have you been to the Weddell Sea?"

"It's more than just being there, I started there." Gao Chuang laughed.

"The first time I went to the Weddell waters was decades ago. At that time, I was the second officer of a giant ocean-going trawler in a foreign fishing company. Later, I went there more than a hundred times. I was in danger dozens of times, and the most thrilling two were when I was trapped there." Gao Chuang said quite proudly.

It is said that heroes don't mention the bravery of the year, but Xiang Yang found that the person who said this sentence did not seem to be a hero. Those true heroes always like to tell the things of the year over and over again.

According to Gao Chuang's recollection, the Weddell waters were extremely dangerous.

When the fleet enters the Weddell Sea, there are particularly many "mazes" composed of ice sheets and icebergs in the sea. Some of these "mazes" are more tortuous than those designed by humans, and those ice sheets and icebergs can still move. There is no accurate map of the maze at all, and the fleet may be trapped in it accidentally, and it will take a long time to escape.

Except for the maze accident, other dangers, in Gao Chuang's view, are all dangers that can be overcome, not to be feared.

When Xiang Yang saw Gao Chuang talk about the Weddell Sea, he became guilty, and he immediately said with shame: "Gao, then you mean, our next destination is the Weddell Sea?"

"Huh? Did I say that?" Gao Chuang asked in confusion. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes and said in his heart that you really didn't say that, but when you talk about your experience in the Weddell waters back then, you are almost dancing and spitting for dozens of minutes.

"In fact, if you want to go, you may not be able to go. Personally, the Weddell Sea is definitely not as dangerous as they imagined."

"For example, those drift ice, as long as we are a little careful, it is entirely possible for us to hide in, or escape early."

"For another example, a group of killer whales that many people are afraid of. In fact, I have dealt with those killer whales in the Weddell waters. These big guys are indeed very fierce, but in fact, compared with whales, they are like penguins. The relationship is closer. I don't know the fishermen who fell into the water, but the crew on the boat, I haven't seen killer whales attack the fishing boat for so many years."

"As for the endless illusions, hehe, since you already know that they are illusions, what else is there to be afraid of?"

When Gao Chuang said this, he stopped suddenly, "Wait, maybe it's really dangerous. I seemed to have seen a report before. On May 19 this year, a Russian earth named Sentinel 1 Data obtained by observing satellites shows that the world’s largest iceberg has escaped from Antarctica."

Xiang Yang wondered: "The Antarctic iceberg has separated from Antarctica. What does this have to do with the Weddell Sea?"

Gao Chuang shook his head, "The relationship is big. The report quoted from the European Space Agency website saying that the area of ​​the iceberg reached about 4,320 square kilometers, slightly larger than the Spanish island of Mallorca. Scientists pointed out, The iceberg, named A-76, is 170 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide. It broke away from the western end of the Ron Ice Shelf in Antarctica and is now located in the Weddell Sea."
