My Deep-sea Fishery

At the same time, Gao Chuang himself was thinking whether he should continue to hide behind this iceberg to avoid the wind, or lead the entire fleet to set sail and fight against the wind during the voyage.

Antarctic storms are very frequent and strong.

After research, scientists found that the central plateau of the ice sheet of the Antarctic continent and the surrounding coastal areas form a steep slope terrain, and the air in the inland plateau shrinks when it is cold, and its density increases. The steep slope of the ice surface slides down sharply in all directions.

After arriving at the coastal zone, the terrain of Antarctica dropped suddenly, which increased the speed of the cold air flow, thus forming a powerful downward wind.

On the other hand, due to the influence of the earth's rotation, the airflow flowing northward is always deflected to the left, so it is easy to form easterly winds in the coastal areas of the Antarctic continent.

Although the Antarctic storm is very harmful, if it is used reasonably, it can also serve Antarctic scientific expeditions.

At present, more than 20 countries have used wind power generation at Antarctic scientific research stations, and my country has installed a complete set of wind power generation equipment at Zhongshan Station in Antarctica.

Seeing that Xiang Yang had ended the call with Gao Chuang, Xu Fang quickly asked, "Captain, what should we do now?"

Xiang Yang frowned.

At present, most of the civil ships in our country do not mark the wind resistance level when they meet the requirements of the regulations. Xiangyang is no exception. Sail against eleventh or even twelve gale.

But Xiang Yang knew that his thousand-ton giant ship would never be able to withstand the 12th-level gale.

"Mr. Gao said that the snowstorm outside is less than level ten." Xiang Yang said.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. What we are sitting on is a thousand-ton giant ship. It is impossible for the wind below the tenth level to make our ship shake like this. This is at least the tenth level, or even the eleventh level. .” Xu Fang immediately denied it.

"Actually, I am more inclined to believe that this is a strong wind of level 11."

"But now, we really can't sail." Xiang Yang said helplessly.

"Why?" Xu Fang asked immediately.

Xiang Yang shook his head, "Because I'm not sure whether this blizzard has reached its limit. If this is already the limit of this blizzard, then we can indeed resist this blizzard by sailing."

When the fishing boat is sailing, because it has huge power, its ability to resist wind is stronger than when it is staying.

But not too strong.

If this blizzard intensified a bit, reaching the level of a twelfth-level storm, and Xiang Yang drove the boat into a deep water area, he would immediately become resigned to fate.

"Then what should we do now? Just wait where we are?" Xu Fang asked anxiously.

Xiang Yang pondered for a moment, and then said: "How about this, after Chen Qingsheng comes back, you distribute the diving equipment and life-saving equipment on board, let the crew wear diving suits, and then put life jackets on the outside of the diving suits. Let's put some chocolate in everyone's net pocket."

"What?" Xu Fang's face instantly turned pale.

When Xiang Yang saw it, he immediately knew what Xu Fang was thinking. Xiang Yang quickly comforted him: "Don't think too much, I'm planning for the worst. Judging from the degree of shaking of our ship, a ship of this size We will definitely be able to survive the blizzard, even if the storm becomes bigger in a while, we will have a chance to survive it, this is just preparing for the worst."

When Xu Fang heard this, he nodded fiercely, "Okay, I'll make arrangements now."

Soon, Xu Fang walked towards Xiang Yang with a diving suit, "Captain, the crew has already arranged for it, so you can wear this suit too."

Xiang Yang shook his head, "I don't need it, you can wear it."

In order to ensure the enthusiasm of the crew on the ship, the diving equipment on Xiang Yang's ship has not been fully equipped.

Xiang Yang noticed that Xu Fang was only wearing a life jacket and no diving equipment, and immediately knew that Xu Fang had given up the diving equipment to others.

Given the temperature outside the cabin, once a human falls into the water, wearing an immersion suit is the same as not wearing an immersion suit.

"Captain, I don't need it, I."

Before Xu Fang finished speaking, Xiang Yang interrupted: "If I tell you to put it on, you can put it on."

"This is the captain's order."

When Xu Fang heard this, his nose sore, a big man almost cried on the spot.

No matter how you listen to Xiang Yang's words, it sounds like he is issuing the final order.

Xu Fang still wanted to decline again.

Suddenly, Chen Qingsheng's loud voice came from not far away, "Captain, captain, it's not good."

Xu Fang's attention was immediately attracted by Chen Qingsheng's loud voice.

Xiang Yang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I say that no matter what happens, you can't panic?"

Chen Qingsheng panted heavily, and said in panic, "Captain, look out of the window first."

Xiang Yang frowned, and looked out the window in doubt.

With just one glance, Xiang Yang stood up and said in a low voice, "Not good."

Outside the window, not far away, the three relatively small freighters in the fleet had already begun to float on the water.

One of them, with the waves swaying, even made the edge of the deck close to the sea surface.

"How could this be? Does Mr. Gao know the situation of those three freighters?" Xiang Yang shouted immediately.

"I don't know. We haven't contacted Mr. Gao. Our crew just saw this scene from the window." Chen Qingsheng said immediately.

Hearing this, Xiang Yang immediately ordered without hesitation: "Set sail and drive the fishing boat to the rear of the three freighters."

Chen Qingsheng's face changed slightly when he heard the words, "Captain, we are already in danger."

The direction Xiang Yang mentioned was exactly the direction of the wind blowing from the snowstorm. Xiang Yang ordered the fishing boat to sail in that direction at this time. No wonder Chen Qingsheng was worried.

Xiang Yang was about to say something.

Xu Fang spoke at this moment, "No, Captain, Old Chen, look out the window."

Xiang Yang was taken aback when he heard the words, "Huh? I'm staring out the window now."

Chen Qingsheng also wondered: "Is there anything wrong outside the window?"

"Visibility, the visibility outside has improved. Although the outside is still a vast expanse of whiteness, the sky is not so dark and it is about to clear up." Xu Fang excitedly said.

Hearing this, Xiang Yang immediately looked in other directions outside the window.

Sure enough, the sky began to brighten slowly, and although the surrounding area was still a little gloomy, there was already light.

"It seems that the snow has also become smaller. Listen, the sound of snow and sand beating outside the window is not so dense." Chen Qingsheng said excitedly.

"But the wind has not subsided yet. Those three freighters are in danger. Xu Fang, go sail immediately and drive the fishing boat behind those three freighters to block part of the wind and snow for them." Xiang Yang ordered again.
