My Deep-sea Fishery

Chapter 660 Seeing a seal for the first time

Xiang Yang glanced at the ice floe in front of him. It is true that the ice floe is at least several thousand acres in size. It is true that such ice floe cannot be broken by ordinary icebreakers, but fishing on the ice floe?

Want to catch penguins?

Xiang Yang didn't ask any further questions. Through the walkie-talkie, he told everyone on board to prepare for the landing, and then he took the lead to follow Gao Chuang and arrived on the ice floe in an assault boat.

When he got to the ice floe, Xiang Yang carefully wiped the ice floe under his feet with the soles of his shoes. Although they were special anti-skid shoes, they were still very slippery on the ice floe.

Soon, the crew arrived on the ice floe one by one.

At this moment, Fang Youqun pointed in one direction and said in amazement, "Brother Yang, look there."

Xiang Yang raised his eyes and looked in that direction.

A few hundred meters away, there is a furry animal with a white belly and black back.

"It's an Adélie penguin." Xia Pengjie whispered, "Generally penguins are group animals. They need to cuddle up to each other for warmth. The single penguins are usually Adélie penguins."

Xiang Yang nodded in agreement.

Many people think that the most ferocious penguin is the emperor penguin. In fact, the god penguin is at least the most famous type of penguin. They are very kind and not fierce at all.

Emperor penguins, also known as emperor penguins, are the largest species in the penguin family. The largest ones can grow to more than 1.2 meters and weigh up to 150 kilograms.

Adélie penguins are really fierce penguins, they even dare to fight with sea lions.

Xiang Yang once watched a documentary about a group of emperor penguins who had just become independent and dared not go into the water on an ice floe.

At this time, they were seen by an Adélie penguin.

The Adélie penguin took a fancy to the ice floe and immediately attacked the group of emperor penguins.

Although the emperor penguins are big, they are not as fierce as the Adélie penguins. They form a circle to defend against the Adélie penguin.

As a result, the group of emperor penguins on the outermost edge of the circle was pecked by the Adélie penguin, causing them to piss and flee into the ocean in pain.

"Very fierce?" Fang Youqun muttered: "This thing is not much bigger than a goose, how fierce can it be?"

"You can try it yourself." Xia Pengjie laughed.

"Okay, stop making trouble, wear protective goggles, don't hurt your eyes from ultraviolet rays in a while." Xiang Yang stopped the noisy two people.

In the Antarctic, it is impossible not to wear protective glasses. The Antarctic has strong ultraviolet rays, which are very harmful to human eyes, and ice cubes will also refract light, which will also damage human eyes.

Sometimes, even suffer from snow blindness.

"Xiang Yang." At this time, Gao Chuang waved to Xiang Yang.

Xiang Yang hurried over, "Mr. Gao, are you looking for me?"

Gao Chuang nodded, "In a moment, I will ask someone to drill a hole in this ice block, and then fish from the ice cave. Now you can move freely with your crew, but don't leave the ice block, and don't let you The crew is close to the edge of the ice, and there may be seals under the water."

Xiang Yang nodded seriously. In Antarctica, seals are very dangerous creatures.

As a result, before Gao Chuang continued to speak, Xiang Yang suddenly heard the crew members exclaim loudly, "Seal, look, there are seals over there."

Xiang Yang quickly looked over there.

Sure enough, in the distance, I saw a big guy with a strong body, black spots all over his body, more than three meters in length, at least a few hundred kilograms in weight, and dark gray lines on his back, crawling on the ice, looking at it curiously. with everyone.

Seeing the crew looking towards it, the seal opened its mouth, slapped its belly vigorously with its two large fins, and then crawled towards this side with clumsy but not slow steps.

Xiang Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Be careful, this is an untrained leopard seal, it will attack people."

But everyone is not afraid.

Just kidding, there are more than a dozen ships, large and small, and thousands of people are here. It would be funny if they were frightened by a seal.

"President Gao, do you want to kill this leopard seal?" An old sailor licked his lips and asked Gao Chuang, dragging a three-pronged harpoon with one hand.

"Forget it, don't kill it, just drive it away." Gao Chuang said.

"Okay." The crew immediately lost interest, "I can only kill seals, if you want to catch them, go and catch them."

"Captain." Chen Qingsheng protected Xiang Yang behind him, "you will stand behind me in a while, if this seal hurts someone, I will kill it."

Xiang Yang smiled, and pulled Chen Qingsheng to his side, "I'm not afraid of this seal."

Although the seal is very agile in the water, its movement speed is not much different from that of a penguin when it reaches the surface of the water.

Even if Xiang Yang walks over now, it will take a long time to turn around, as there is only one kick in the back.

However, leopard seals are indeed very dangerous marine creatures. They are very courageous, very curious, and have a very brutal and bloodthirsty temperament. They are one of the top creatures in the entire Antarctic food chain. The entire Antarctic can hunt and kill Their predators are almost only the killer whales.

And they have a precedent for attacking humans.

In 2003, a female scientist named Kirsty Brown was part of a scientific research team performing a scientific research mission in Antarctica. When she was doing underwater operations near the base, she was suddenly attacked by a leopard seal and dragged away by it. Enter deep water area to kill.

"Get out of the way." At this time, three crew members carrying something like a gas tank shouted to the crew members who were watching the excitement ahead.

Xiang Yang explained to Chen Qingsheng: "On the ice, the seals have nothing to be afraid of except for their larger size, rougher skin and thicker flesh. Basically, as long as they are an adult man, they can kill them with a harpoon in their hands. .”

"But underwater, this guy is really scary. Except for the biological stun gun, we have almost no means to deal with it."

"But now that we're on ice, someone's going to take care of this big guy."

Xiang Yang guessed right.

I saw the three sailors carrying a large tank and wearing assault suits striding towards the seal.

Seeing the people approaching, the seal immediately showed a fierce expression, twisted its body, and accelerated its pace to attack the three people.

"Fire."

I don't know who yelled, and then I saw the three crew members carrying the jars raise their hands at the same time. In their hands, they were holding a pipe, and a blue flame of three to four meters was ejected from the mouth of the pipe. .

The leopard was still 20 to 30 meters away from the three crew members, but after seeing the blue flame, it immediately stopped walking, looking at the three crew members in fear and then tangled.

But the three crew members didn't hesitate at all, and they walked towards the seal.
