My Deep-sea Fishery

"Master Xu? Are you sailing the boat yourself?" Xiang Yang asked.

Now, as the crew members on board became more and more proficient, Xu Fang seldom had the time to drive the boat himself.

But at the moment, the cold wind in the cab was bleak. Even if the temperature was tens of degrees below zero, the windows of the cab were wide open, allowing the cold wind to penetrate into the cab.

"That's right, I'm the one sailing the boat, Captain. There's not only a blizzard outside, but also the Antarctic death ray. The visibility outside is no more than 30 meters, and the effective visibility is only a dozen meters. The boat must never sail forward. "Xu Fang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Xiang Yang quickly looked out of the window. With the help of vision far beyond human beings, Xiang Yang saw the outline of a huge iceberg in the flying snow, which became more and more clear in Xiang Yang's eyes, and there were cracks beside the iceberg. An unfathomable canyon.

Xiang Yang quickly asked: "Xu Fang, where are the other ships in the fleet? Are they sailing?"

"I asked the chief mate, and the chief mate said that they have nautical charts and they can open them." Xu Fang said.

Xiang Yang quickly asked: "Did the detector on the ship detect it? There is an iceberg ahead."

Xu Fang looked at a young man beside him.

The crew member quickly said, "No, I've been staring at the display screen. There is a wide sea in front of me. Not to mention big icebergs, there isn't even ice floes."

Xiang Yang heard it.

Gao Chuang has a chart of this route, and coupled with the data from the fishing boat detector, it is obvious that there should be no icebergs in front of the fishing boat.

But Xiang Yang just saw an iceberg.

Xiang Yang rubbed his head, could he be snow blind? The mountains and valleys you see are all illusions?

Xiang Yang shook his head and quickly denied this.

That iceberg should also be a mirage.

"Follow the middle of the fleet and continue sailing. Don't drive the fishing boat too fast, and let the icebreaker take over the navigation task." Xiang Yang said.

"Okay, I will start the tracking navigation and follow the icebreaker, but Captain, if the visibility outside is less than 20 meters, then I will never sail again anyway." Xu Fang said seriously.

Xiang Yang nodded, "Okay, I told Mr. Gao that if the outdoor visibility is less than 20 meters, then the fleet really cannot sail."

With that said, Xiang Yang ended the call with Xu Fang and began to transfer Gao Chuang.

"Mr. Gao, the visibility outside is too low now, we can't open it again." Once the walkie-talkie was connected, Xiang Yang went straight to the point.

Gao Chuang said, "Don't be afraid, follow me. I have charts for this channel, so I know how to go. We will sail for another half an hour, and we will be able to find the iceberg to avoid the snowstorm."

Xiang Yang looked out the window, the wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and the sound of snow and sand hitting the glass was getting louder and more urgent, so Xiang Yang had no choice but to say: "Okay, but my driver said that if you If the outdoor visibility is less than 20 meters, he will never sail again anyway.”

"Don't worry, if the visibility is less than 20 meters, even if you want me to sail, I won't sail." Gao Chuang said.

Xiang Yang nodded and hung up the phone, but his heart did not go back to his stomach.

Soon, half an hour passed.

The fleet docked in a sea ice about 100 meters away from a huge ice floe.

Due to the impact of the blizzard, the sea ice is moving and there are cracks everywhere. In order to ensure the safety of the fleet, fishing boats cannot approach the huge ice floe at all.

But because of the blockage of the icebergs on the ice floe, Xiang Yang could not feel the violent snowstorm for the time being.

Xiang Yang put on his assault suit, and walked carefully to the deck alone.

The sky was very dark, and the sea water was still a layer of pure white. Obviously, the white weather did not end.

Although Xiang Yang didn't feel the strong wind anymore, the blizzard was still falling, and the pagoda-shaped snow fell on his face, making his face hurt.

"Are we going to stay here?" Chen Qingsheng asked Xiang Yangdao.

Xiang Yang nodded, "I also want to leave quickly, but look at the sky, the snow is falling harder and harder, the color of the air is getting thicker, and the visibility is getting lower and lower. Just the huge iceberg a hundred meters away, Now it's all turned into a piece of white, completely invisible, under such circumstances, it is impossible for us to set sail."

Chen Qingsheng looked around and saw that there were no crew members nearby, so he cursed in a low voice: "What the hell kind of weather is this? It's a fine sunny day, and it will change as soon as it changes."

Xiang Yang smiled and explained to Chen Qingsheng: "Don't be surprised, this is actually the albino sky in Antarctica, which comes fast and hard. The most terrifying thing is that it almost completely deprives people of vision. We are not bad. It’s just that I can still see more than ten meters away. In the past, foreign scientific expedition team members couldn’t find their way in albino days, and they were finally frozen to death a few meters away from the gate of the station area.”

If you can't see, you can't tell the direction, and the fleet can't sail.

Xiang Yang and others were only able to dock their ships on the leeward side of the iceberg.

Gao Chuang stood at the bow of a processing mother ship, holding a walkie-talkie to contact the captains and first mates in the fleet over and over again, telling everyone not to act without authorization.

I wanted to look at the deck. From the beginning of the snowstorm to the present, in less than an hour, the snow on the deck had fallen more than a foot thick.

Xiang Yang could see the people on another fishing boat next to him, less than 30 meters away.

But the people on the other fishing boat couldn't see Xiang Yang's large ocean-going fishing boat at all, let alone Xiang Yang.

But even though they couldn't see it, it didn't affect the conversation of everyone in the fleet.

Occasionally, Xiang Yang could hear hearty shouts from the nearby fishing boats. Obviously, someone on the other fishing boats was using shouts to communicate.

After another half an hour, the blizzard showed no signs of abating, and the snow on the deck was already more than half a meter thick.

Most importantly, the howling cold wind crossed the iceberg and blew towards the fleet again.

Now, Chen Qingsheng became very scared. He dragged Xiang Yang back to the cabin, and then walked around in the cabin, constantly talking about when the weather will end, whether he will be trapped, etc. if.

As for Gao Chuang, because the power of the walkie-talkie was not enough, he stopped calling Xiang Yang.

It was getting colder outside the cabin, and a thick layer of ice crystals formed on the windows.

Xiang Yang looked at Chen Qingsheng with a smile, "Don't walk around, come, eat some chocolate candy to warm your body."

Chen Qingsheng shook his head, "Captain, I'm not cold. What I'm worried about now is whether we will be trapped here by the snowstorm. I heard that every year, many people are trapped in the Antarctic by the snowstorm. Every time they are trapped, they will be trapped here." Year."

When Xiang Yang heard this, he stopped talking.

There is actually a lot of drift ice in this sea area now.

If this blizzard lasts long enough, it may indeed cause the entire fishing boat to be trapped.
