My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang nodded his head quite cautiously. In fact, he knows Wedell very well.

Although Xiang Yang has never been to the Weddell Sea, he has read a lot of information about the Weddell Sea.

The Weddell Sea is the southernmost sea in the Atlantic Ocean. It goes deep into the coast of the Antarctic continent and forms a large concave bay. ice barrier.

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

"The Weddell Sea is just the marginal sea of ​​Antarctica, and part of it even belongs to the South Atlantic Ocean. Although it is said to be miraculous in the outside world, compared with other sea areas in the Antarctic Circle, it is actually considered good. Now that it is in Antarctica, I support it. Enter the Weddell Sea." Chen Qingsheng said suddenly at this time.

Xiang Yang glanced at Chen Qingsheng, "The rumors cannot be groundless, even if we are going, we must not be careless."

The Weddell Sea is a very famous magical sea.

When mentioning the Magic Sea, many people will think of the "Devil Triangle" in Bermuda on the Atlantic Ocean.

The ferocious sea of ​​magic in the Bermuda Triangle swallowed up countless ships and planes. What kind of power is its "magic"? Scientists have different opinions, and it is still a mystery.

In Antarctica, however, Weddell's name is more colorful than the Bermuda Triangle.

Although the magic sea of ​​the Weddell Sea is not as greedy as swallowing ships and planes like the Bermuda Triangle, its "magic power" is not inferior to the Bermuda Triangle at all, and even worse.

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

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

There is a lot of drift ice in the Weddell Sea. When sailing in the Weddell Sea, as long as the north wind blows, the drift ice will squeeze together and surround the ship. sea ​​of ​​ice.

Ships trapped to death by the north wind have to stay in the large ice sheet of the Weddell Sea for at least one year, and it is not possible to rush out of the Weddell Sea until the next summer comes.

The survivability of surviving in Antarctica for one year is extremely small. Due to the limited food and fuel in a year, especially the raging winter blizzard in the Weddell Sea, it is difficult for most of the ships in trouble to leave the magic sea of ​​Weddell. Will forever "sleep" in the sea of ​​ice in Antarctica.

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

The answer is definitely not.

In the first two months, the crew of Xiangyang Xiangyang could rely on the fresh water and supplies on board to live well on board.

From the third month onwards, they had to start eating the catch on the boat to satisfy their hunger, so there was nothing to worry about with fresh water.

At most half a year, the fuel on board will be completely consumed. At that time, they will really have to wait to die on board.

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

In summer, in the blue waters of the Weddell Sea, there are groups of whales. They often spray water and play in the crevices of drift ice. Although they look leisurely, they are actually very ferocious.

Leopard seals in particular are terrible Antarctic creatures that actively hunt fishermen. Many fishermen trapped in Antarctica 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, stick out its head and bite. Its slender sharp mouth can bite off human bones 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.

Many ships can pass through the devil's waters of the Weddell Sea at leisure if they don't encounter the terrible north wind.

But if there is a terrible north wind, let alone a temporary fleet like Xiang Yang and his team, many countries with big fisheries and powerful navies will not be able to sail out of the devil's sea when the state machinery is running.

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

On January 21, 2005, my country's polar research ship "Xuelong" began sailing south along the 8° west longitude line in the Weddell Sea.

On the 22nd, the "Xuelong" carrying my country's 21st Antarctic expedition team crossed the 70° south latitude line for the first time and entered the depths of the Weddell "Devil" sea area, 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 "Snow Dragon" carefully avoided the big iceberg, and conducted oceanographic surveys in this "devil" sea area, and basically completed scientific research projects such as seawater sampling and biological resource investigation.

On the 24th, my country's Antarctic expedition team dropped the first buoy on an iceberg in the Weddell Sea.

This polar buoy developed by our country can continuously send the temperature change and specific orientation of the iceberg to the country through satellites from the drifting iceberg.

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

However, although the Weddell Sea is so dangerous, there are still endless streams of fishermen from all over the world who are willing to take risks there every year.

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

On October 13, 1986, scientists at the Alfred Wegener Institute in Bremerhaven, Germany, put a standard Sage disk 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 that of distilled water.

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

The same crab, which may be produced in other sea areas, only sells for tens of dollars per catty, but as long as it is produced in the Weddell Sea area, the price will immediately increase several times, or even ten times.

Although the danger is a bit dangerous, as long as you can haul a boat back in the Weddell Sea, you will immediately make a lot of money.

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

Chen Qingsheng shook his head with a wry smile. He has actually been to the Antarctic Sea, and even went deep into the Weddell Sea. How could he not know how dangerous the Weddell Sea is.

"To go or not, captain, you can make a decision. No matter whether to go or not, we should make a decision now." Chen Qingsheng said.

Xiang Yang nodded, this sentence is true.

If he wanted to go, he would have to prepare more supplies to keep out the cold, as well as fuel, and be prepared to stay in Antarctica for a year.
