My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 698: The World's Largest Iceberg

If he doesn't go, he should contact the icebreaker now, and after parting ways with the fleet, he can continue sailing in the Antarctic Circle.

In short, as long as it is confirmed that the fleet is going to the Weddell Sea, no matter whether Xiang Yang goes or not, he must make preparations now.

"Well, don't worry, I will ask Mr. Gao later to see if he is really going to the Weddell Sea before making a decision." Xiang Yang decided after a moment of contemplation.

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

Yes.

Now everything is speculation, what if Gao Chuang never thought about going to the Weddell Sea?

Soon, Gao Chuang emerged from the bottom of the sea. While taking off his diving equipment, he smiled and said, "I'm old, I can't dive anymore. If I was young, I would go down for a trip, so I don't run out of this tank of oxygen." , I will definitely not come up, I have only swam for a while now, and my whole body looks like it is 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. For a while, add a little heat and water."

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

"By the way, why did you and your people come up here? Are you replenishing your strength and hydration on the boat?" Gao Chuang suddenly turned his head and glanced at the deck. Seeing that Xiang Yang's people were all on the deck, he couldn't help asking strangely.

"No, it was me and my people who discovered the spiny ball and the little blue-ringed octopus under the sea, and I forbid them to go down." Xiang Yang replied truthfully.

"What? Thorny ball?" Gao Chuang suddenly turned his head.

"En." Xiang Yang nodded very firmly.

Gao Chuang frowned, "It is true that you can no longer dive."

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

Although the little blue-ringed octopus is highly poisonous, it generally does not take the initiative to attack creatures that are larger than itself. When encountering a larger marine life attack, the little blue-ringed octopus will even light up its own bright protective color first Intimidate the opponent, and only attack when you have to.

But the spine ball is different.

The spiny ball usually likes to hide in the sand of the seabed without moving.

As long as there is a creature approaching, no matter who or what it is, it will go up and stab it. It is one of the most disliked marine creatures by all fishermen.

Of course.

The spiny balls are not as poisonous as the blue-ringed octopus.

If someone is unfortunate enough to get stabbed by a thorn ball, at least it will hurt, and the crew will know immediately that they are injured.

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

"Yes, for safety's sake, let's call all the brothers from the bottom of the sea." 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 on the side immediately pricked up their ears. Of the two, Xu Fang really didn't want to take risks in the Weddell Sea, while Chen Qingsheng felt conflicted. On the one hand, he was also afraid of the Weddell Sea, and on the other hand, he had little expectations.

"No, why, do you have any good places to recommend?" Gao Chuang turned his head and asked.

"Well."

Xiang Yang was stunned for a moment, and then said with an awkward smile: "I saw the route of our fleet, and it has been heading towards the Weddell Sea before, so I want to know if we are going to the Weddell Sea, if so, I will Prepare in advance."

"Weddell Sea Territory, 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 startled when he heard the words, "President Gao, have you ever been to the Weddell Sea?"

"Not only have I been there, I started my business there." Gao Chuang laughed.

"The first time I went to the Weddell Sea was decades ago. At that time, I was still working as the second officer of a giant ocean-going trawler in a foreign-funded fishing company. Later, I went to the Weddell Sea for a total of no less than a hundred times, including I have been in danger dozens of times, and the two most dangerous times were when I was trapped there." Gao Chuang said quite proudly.

It is said that heroes don’t mention bravery back then, but Xiang Yang found out that those who said this didn’t seem to be heroes back then, and those real heroes always liked to talk about things from that year over and over again.

According to Gao Chuang's recollection, the Weddell Sea was extremely dangerous.

When the fleet entered the Weddell Sea, there were many "mazes" of ice sheets and icebergs in the sea area. Some of these "mazes" were more tortuous than those designed by humans, and those ice sheets and icebergs could still move. There is no accurate map of the maze at all, and the fleet may be trapped in it if they are not careful, and it will take a long time to escape.

Except for the maze accident, Gao Chuang saw other dangers as surmountable dangers and nothing to fear.

Seeing that Gao Chuang became eloquent when he talked about the Weddell Sea, Xiang Yang immediately said with shame: "Mr. Gao, what do you mean, our next destination is the Weddell Sea?"

"Huh? Did I say that?" Gao Chuang asked doubtfully.

Xiang Yang rolled his eyes, and thought to himself that you really didn't say that, but when you talked about your experience in the Weddell Sea, you were almost dancing and spitting all over the place for dozens of minutes.

"Actually, if you want to go, you may not be able to go. As far as I am concerned, the Weddell Sea is definitely not as dangerous as they imagined."

"For example, those ice drifts, as long as we are careful, it is entirely possible for us to hide there, or escape early."

"For another example, the group of killer whales that many people are afraid of. In fact, I have also dealt with those killer whales in the Weddell Sea. 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 a killer whale attack a fishing boat in so many years.”

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

When Gao Chuang said this, he suddenly stopped again, "Wait, maybe it is really dangerous. I seem to have seen a report before. On May 19th of this year, a Russian satellite called Sentinel 1 Data from observation satellites show that the world's largest iceberg has broken off Antarctica."

Xiang Yang wondered: "The Antarctic iceberg has left Antarctica, what does this have to do with the Weddell Sea?"

Gao Chuang shook his head, "The relationship is getting serious. The report quoted the information on the website of the European Space Agency as saying that the area of ​​the iceberg reached about 4,320 square kilometers, which is slightly larger than the Spanish island of Mallorca. The scientists pointed out that, The iceberg, named A-76, is 170 kilometers long and 25 kilometers wide. It broke off the western end of the Antarctic Ron Ice Shelf and is now in the Weddell Sea."
