My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 809: First officer's worries

Chen Qingsheng frowned. The method Xiang Yang said was indeed a good one.

In Weddell, a sea area known as the Devil’s Sea, there has always been a saying that the south wind sails happily while the north wind has fled to the sea.

Explorers from all over the world also rely on this creed to navigate the Weddell waters.

Of course, this is only for ordinary explorers and fishing boats, or scientific research ships of some small countries.

For a big country like Wuchang, the drift ice in the Weddell Sea is nothing at all.

In 2014, a scientific research team composed of Britain, France and Germany encountered a huge northerly wind while passing through the Weddell waters. At that time, a large amount of drift ice gathered, and many people thought that the scientific research team was finished.

As a result, neither Britain, France nor Germany dispatched submarines or aircraft carriers. The scientific research team only dispatched two nuclear-powered icebreakers, and easily broke a stable channel in the large drift ice group.

Of course, this kind of big hand is far from what ordinary fishermen can get.

For ordinary fishermen, the Weddell Sea is still a devil's sea.

In the Weddell Sea, drift ice and high winds will definitely make most fishermen hate there.

And once trapped, the whales are also a big threat to fishermen.

In summer, in the blue waters of the Weddell Sea, whales will appear in groups.

I don't know why, whether it's a blue whale or a killer whale, when in the Weddell waters, they are more grumpy than in other waters.

For example, Xiang Yang now sees the group of killer whales playing in the crevices of drift ice.

Even though they are now leisurely and contented, they are actually very fierce. They are a terrifying whale that can swallow any animal on the ice, and they are famous sea butchers.

If the killer whales are allowed to find someone on the ice, those killer whales will suddenly break through the ice from the sea without hesitation, stick out their heads and devour them in one bite. The fierceness is creepy. ,

It is the existence of orca that makes it more difficult for people trapped in the Weddell Sea to survive.

In addition, the colorful aurora and the unpredictable mirage are also a major magic of the Weddell Sea.

When a ship sails in the Weddell Sea, it is like wandering in a dreamy world. Its ever-changing natural wonders are both mysterious and frightening.

Sometimes a ship is sailing in a crevice of drift ice, and suddenly a steep ice wall appears around the drift ice group, as if the ship is surrounded by the ice wall, blocking the way, and seems to be in desperate situation, making people panic.

Sometimes, those ice walls disappear without a trace, turning the ship into safety.

There used to be an expedition from our country. When sailing through the Weddell Sea, the ship was still sailing in the water for a moment, but suddenly it seemed to be on top of an iceberg in the next moment.

The scene at that time scared the crew of that ship to the sky.

I heard that when the sunset shines on the surface of the Red Sea, the cash-colored icebergs are reflected on the surface of the sea, as if they are smashed against the ship, giving people a false alarm.

Sailing in the Weddell Sea, nature will show people its magic from time to time, teasing people, and making people always in a state of panic.

Although it has been verified that those are all a farce performed by nature.

But in that farce, I don't know how many ships were led astray. Some competed to avoid the illusory iceberg and collided with the real iceberg, and some were confused by the illusion and fell into a desperate situation surrounded by drift ice. The Weed Sea is an icy sea, a terrifying sea, an unpredictable sea, and one of the most magical seas in the world.

"I'm afraid the wind direction here will change. If we have sailed deep, but the wind direction suddenly changes, then we are done." Chen Qingsheng said helplessly.

"Don't be afraid, we also have two professional icebreakers in our fleet. If roads are blocked by drift ice, those two icebreakers will come in handy."

"Furthermore, the ocean-going fishing boat I sat on also has a certain ice-breaking ability. A little bit of drift ice is not in the way."

"Ten thousand steps back and said, I'm really trapped. Someone will come to rescue a fleet like ours." Xiang Yang smiled.

Chen Qingsheng was quite speechless: "If we wait for someone to save us, we will lose face, and we don't know what conditions we have to pay."

When encountering danger in the Weddell Sea, of course, we can't wait for the rescue team from China. The day lily is cold and we can only ask for help from the nearest scientific base.

There are a series of scientific observation bases in the southern and southeastern coasts of the Weddell Sea, but those scientific research bases are all old and American, and they will not come to rescue out of humanitarianism.

"We have our own rescue boat." Xiang Yang smiled.

On January 21, 2005, China's polar expedition ship Xuelong sailed south along the west longitude in the Weddell waters.

On the 22nd, the Xuelong, carrying China’s 21st Antarctic expedition, crossed the 70-degree south latitude for the first time and entered the depths of the Weddell Devil’s Sea, setting a record for the highest latitude of a Chinese ship sailing south.

In the arc-shaped bay along the Antarctic continent in the Weddell Sea, large and small ice blocks are all over the sea.

Although the Xuelong also needs to carefully avoid the big icebergs in order to conduct ocean expeditions in the Devil's Waters.

But after all, our country is one of the few countries in the world that can defeat the Devil Sea of ​​Weddell and has the ability to protect its own country’s crew.

Xiang Yang patted Chen Qingsheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The Weddell Sea is the most transparent sea in the world. It has the clearest water in the world. Its clarity is similar to that of distilled water. Now that it has reached the Weddell Sea, then Don't think about retreating, and enjoy the sea."

Chen Qingsheng shook his head helplessly, "All right, then I'll go down and make arrangements first."

Xiang Yang smiled and nodded, "Well, you go."

On the sea, pieces of floating ice float around.

Many penguins and seals lie on the ice floes to rest.

The clear water is really crystal clear, and the reflection of the boat is on the water surface. If it is taken into a photo, most people may not be able to tell where is the sea and where is the sky.

However, Xiang Yang was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty.

Although, Xiang Yang was very tough when talking with Chen Qingsheng, claiming that since he had already arrived, he would not return to the voyage anyway.

But in fact, after seeing the large amount of drift ice floating on the sea, Xiang Yang's real thoughts were even more nervous than Chen Qingsheng.

It's just that Xiang Yang, as the captain of this ship, couldn't show any vacillation in front of others before it was clear that the fishing boat was going to return.

Staring at the sea for a while, Xiang Yang turned around and returned to his cabin alone, then locked the door, took out the walkie-talkie, and shouted towards Gao.
