My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 814 The Chief Mate'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 sailing in the south wind is fun, and changing to the north wind to escape overseas.

Explorers from all over the world rely on this creed to sail in the Weddell Sea.

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

As a result, Britain, France and Germany did not dispatch submarines or aircraft carriers. The scientific research team only dispatched two nuclear-powered icebreakers, and easily broke through a stable channel in the large drift ice.

Of course, this kind of generosity is far from what ordinary fishermen can afford.

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 it.

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

In summer, whales can be seen in large groups in the turquoise waters of the Weddell Sea.

I don't know why, whether it's blue whales or killer whales, when they are in the Weddell Sea, they are more irritable than in other seas.

For example, the group of killer whales that Xiang Yang saw now were spraying water and playing in the crevices of drift ice.

Although they are leisurely and contented now, they are actually extremely ferocious. They are terrible whales that can devour any animal on the ice, and they are famous butchers at sea.

If killer whales find people on the ice, those killer whales will suddenly break through the ice from the sea without hesitation, stretch out their heads and swallow them in one bite, and their ferocity is creepy. ,

It is the presence of orcas that makes it even more difficult for people trapped in the Weddell Sea to survive.

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

When a ship sails in the Weddell Sea, it is like floating in a dream world. Its ever-changing natural wonders make people feel mysterious and frightening.

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

Sometimes, those ice walls will disappear without a trace again, saving the ship from danger.

Once there was an expedition team from our country. When sailing through the Weddell Sea, the ship was obviously still sailing in the water one moment, and suddenly seemed to be on the top of an iceberg the next moment.

That scene at that time scared the crew of that ship into a fright.

I heard that when the sunset glows on the red sea, there will be golden icebergs reflected on the sea, as if they are hitting the boats, bringing people a false alarm.

When sailing in the Weddell Sea, nature will show its magic power to people from time to time, teasing people and making people always in panic.

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

But those farces led many ships astray. Some collided with real icebergs to avoid illusory icebergs, and some fell into a desperate situation surrounded by drift ice because of the illusion. The Weed Sea is a cold sea, a terrifying sea, an unpredictable sea, and one of the most magical magical seas in the world.

"I'm afraid that the wind direction here will change. If we have already sailed deep and the wind direction suddenly changes, then we will be finished." Chen Qingsheng said helplessly.

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

"And the ocean-going fishing boat I'm sitting on also has a certain ability to break ice. A little bit of drift ice is fine."

"Take a step back, I'm really trapped, we have such a large fleet, someone will come to rescue us." Xiang Yang laughed.

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

Encountering danger in the Weddell Sea, of course we can't wait for the domestic rescue team to come to our rescue. The day lily is cold, so we can only ask for help from the nearest science base.

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

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

On January 21, 2005, my country's polar research ship Xuelong sailed south along the west meridian in the Weddell Sea.

On the 22nd, the Xuelong carrying my country's 21st Antarctic expedition team crossed the 70th parallel south latitude for the first time and entered the depths of the Weddell Devil 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 needs to carefully avoid the big icebergs, it can conduct ocean research in the Devil's Sea.

But after all, our country is one of the few countries in the world that can defeat the Weddell devil sea area, 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. Don't think about retreating, just enjoy the sea."

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

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

On the surface of the sea, pieces of ice floes floated around.

There are many penguins and seals resting on the ice floes.

The clear water is really crystal clear, and the shadow of the boat is reflected on the water. If you take a photo, the average person may not be able to tell where is the sea and where is the sky.

Xiang Yang was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty either.

Although, Xiang Yang was very tough when he talked with Chen Qingsheng, claiming that since he had already come, he would not return no matter what.

But in fact, after seeing a large amount of drift ice floating on the sea, what Xiang Yang really thought in his heart was even more nervous than Chen Qingsheng.

It's just that Xiang Yang, as the captain of the boat, can't show any wavering in front of other people until the fishing boat is going to return.

After staring at the sea for a while, Xiang Yang turned around and went back to his cabin alone, then locked the door behind him, took out the walkie-talkie, and shouted towards Gao Chuang.
