My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 787 Crisis

Xiang Yang took a deep breath. After arriving in Antarctica, Xiang Yang realized that the ever-changing weather is actually the normal state of the Antarctic climate.

"You're right, but now is not the time to worry about it." Xiang Yang said slowly to Chen Qingsheng.

Now, the originally black and white things around the fishing boat have become chaotic and cold. Standing on the deck, people can't even tell whether it is day or night.

The surrounding area is also covered in a vast expanse of whiteness, and ordinary people have no way of distinguishing whether it is land or ocean.

"Now is the time when the crew are panicking. You and I are the backbone of this ship. No matter what, you and I can't panic, you know." Xiang Yang said slowly.

"Besides, our situation is not as bad as you imagined." Xiang Yang said again suddenly.

"Huh?" Chen Qingsheng looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously.

Xiang Yang smiled and said: "As far as I know, as early as two years ago, the most advanced fishing boat navigation system on the market added a real-time ice map function, which can guide fishing boats to maneuver around complex ice areas."

"But we don't have such a navigation system on board." Chen Qingsheng said.

Xiang Yang pointed to the front of the nail plate with a smile on his face, "We don't have one, but it doesn't mean Boss Gao doesn't have one."

When Chen Qingsheng heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

At present, the world's most advanced navigation system for civilian fishing boats is only two years behind the most advanced military navigation system in the United States. This system can display the real-time position of the ship, and can also view real-time weather, historical navigation track, station position Ice conditions, water depth, video surveillance, exclusive economic zone and many other information, the captain and driver can also design the ship's navigation route in the system.

It can be said that this system is not weaker than the Gaode map on land at all. As long as the fishing boat adopts this system, it can completely move the boat on the map.

"Captain, are you saying that the navigation system on Mr. Gao's ship has an ice map function that can guide the fleet to maneuver around complex ice areas?" Chen Qingsheng said excitedly.

"This system sounds very high-end, but it is actually the same as Gaode Map. It just integrates satellite data resources into an electronic map. I don't believe that Mr. Gao's ship will not have a real-time electronic navigation map." Yang shrugged.

This kind of navigation technology has been gradually popularized to civilian fishing boats in our country as early as five years ago. Gao Chuang's family has a big business, and it is impossible that the ship is not equipped with equipment that accepts this electronic navigation map.

Xiang Yang was chatting with Chen Qingsheng.

Suddenly, Xiang Yang's face changed, and he pulled Chen Qingsheng back to the cabin, and then slammed the thick cabin door behind him.

"What's the matter? Captain?" Chen Qingsheng asked hastily.

Xiang Yang said with a serious face: "The blizzard is coming."

"Didn't the blizzard come early?" Chen Qingsheng was even more puzzled when he heard the words.

Xiang Yang shook his head and didn't speak.

After a while, there was a loud humming sound outside the cabin.

The storm was mixed with rain and snow, and it poured down towards the fishing boat in an instant, and there was a dense sound like setting off firecrackers on the deck.

Outside the fishing boat, there are even more waves, and the waves are higher than the waves.

Chen Qingsheng was dumbfounded instantly, "How could this happen?"

Xiang Yang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The snowstorm is passing, just get through this for a while."

A flash of panic flashed in Chen Qingsheng's eyes, but he recovered quickly, "Captain, I'll go to the cabins and comfort the frightened crew."

Xiang Yang looked outside the window, the wind and snow outside were getting more and more fierce, Xiang Yang estimated that the wind force might have exceeded ten, and even the hull under his feet was visibly shaking.

"Okay, you can go and have a look in each cabin, remember, everyone must close the windows and never open them." Xiang Yang said with a serious face.

Right now, the maximum wind speed outside definitely exceeds 30 meters per second, and even the thousand-ton giant ship is shaken from side to side. If the windows are opened, people will definitely be blown away.

At this moment, Xu Fang rushed out from the cabin.

"Master Xu? Why are you here?" Xiang Yang asked in confusion.

Xu Fang spoke quickly: "Captain, the situation is critical. The fishing boat must anchor immediately and sail to the deep waters far away from the icebergs to resist the wind while sailing, and at the same time prevent the fishing boat from being blown by the strong wind and colliding with the ice floes."

Hearing this, Xiang Yang frowned.

Chen Qingsheng is an experienced old driver.

But Gao Chuang is an experienced old navigator, but now Gao Chuang doesn't even seem to take action at all.

"I'll contact Mr. Gao and see what Mr. Gao has to say." Xiang Yang said after a moment of contemplation.

"Hurry up, our ship is shaking very badly now, and we may be in danger of hitting the rocks at any time." Xu Fang said hurriedly.

Xiang Yang nodded, without any nonsense, he took out the walkie-talkie and started calling Gao Chuang.

"Hello, Xiang Yang? What do you want from me?" On the other side of the intercom, Gao Chuang seemed to be in a bad mood, and his tone of voice was a bit aggressive.

Xiang Yang said directly: "Mr. Gao, the hull of my fishing boat is shaking a lot now. I want to drive the fishing boat to the deep water area and carry the wind while sailing."

"It's so rare, it's so strange. It's only a small wind that is less than tenth level, and you have to carry the wind during the voyage. If you encounter a strong wind above tenth level, you have to abandon the ship and escape?"

"Stay where you are and don't move. In Antarctica, 11th-level winds are commonplace. This small wind is nothing at all. Let your people hide in the cabin. I remember one year in our Weddell Sea area. I met every second The 50-meter-twelfth-level gale caused even the boat to spin like a spinning top, and the wind and waves were nothing compared to that time."

"Is it only less than tenth level?" Xiang Yang frowned.

According to observation statistics from Australia's Mawson Station in Antarctica.

In Antarctica, there are nearly 300 days of gale days above level 8 every year.

The Mawson Station has measured a wind speed of 82 meters per second, which is three times that of a category 12 typhoon. Such a storm can sweep away an aircraft and throw a large oil barrel weighing 200 kilograms into the air like a chicken feather.

France's Antarctic Dierville Station even observed a strong wind of 100 meters per second in Antarctica.

If the blizzard outside is not even below level ten, Xiang Yang can't imagine what a wind speed of level twelve would be like.

In fact, the blizzard that Xiang Yang and the others have encountered now is of course more than level ten.

Otherwise, Gao Chuang wouldn't be in such a bad mood, even speaking in such a rush.

Through the equipment on the ship, Gao Chuang has already determined the size of the blizzard, which is a typhoon of category 11, with a wind speed of up to 30 meters per second.

Such a huge snowstorm is a complete disaster for a fishing fleet.

So Gao Chuang didn't dare to tell the truth to the captain below, but whenever someone asked him, he would always say that the blizzard didn't even reach level ten.
