My Deep-sea Fishery

The three old fishermen were very courageous, carrying gas tanks, holding the burner and chasing after the seal.

The flame in front of the flamethrower was three to four meters long.

Although leopard seals are the top marine predators in the Antarctic world, as long as they are in Antarctica, they will fight no matter what they are, but no matter how powerful they are, they are just animals. I have never seen such a posture.

Seeing those raging flames, it was so frightened that it twisted its fat body and turned around to run away. While running away, it screamed in pain, as if it was really burned by the fire, and almost rolled and crawled to the ice floe. Then, with a thud, he burrowed into the white snow and disappeared.

The daring Adélie penguin had the same reaction as the leopard seal. It was still watching from a distance, waiting to see if it could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first, and then pick up a cheap one later.

As a result, seeing that the seal was scared to death, it also ran away.

While running, its clumsy body couldn't stand still, and when it leaned forward, it fell a dog gnawing mud on the ice.

Seeing the three old fishermen, they immediately turned off the flamethrower, and then looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

And the young crew members, whistling at the Adélie penguin that had fallen to the ground and was struggling to get up.

"Okay, stop messing around." After driving away the leopard seal with the flamethrower, Xiang Yang called his wild crew, "Watch carefully for a while to see how others are fishing on the ice. Yes, give me a good look and study hard.”

Xiang Yang's crew calmed down one by one, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Chen Qingsheng, give me the harpoon." Xiang Yang stretched out his hand to Chen Qingsheng.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingsheng immediately handed Xiang Yang a harpoon. He was a little excited. "Captain, are you going to go to the edge of the ice to insert fish?"

Xiang Yang shook his head, and thrust the harpoon into the ice.

As a result, there was a not-too-loud shock, and Xiang Yang's hands were hurt by the shock, but the ice surface was unscathed.

"Captain, do you want to drill holes in this ice? That's not how you drill holes in ice." Chen Qingsheng said immediately.

"Of course I know that drilling holes on the ice is not like this. I just want to test the hardness of the ice and see if it can hold people on it. It seems to be pretty good now." Xiang Yang smiled heartily, Then he handed the harpoon to Chen Qingsheng who was on the side.

"Go back to the boat and take off the rucksacks I prepared." Xiang Yang ordered.

Before coming, Xiang Yang prepared a large number of moisture-proof backpacks, each of which contained a lot of food and water, as well as tents, sleeping bags, daggers and other survival necessities.

Gao Chuang saw that Xiang Yang was organizing people to set up tents, and joked, "Boss Xiang, you don't want you and your crew to live on the ice, do you?"

"Looking at Mr. Gao's posture, we have to stay on the ice for at least several days, and it is not convenient to always go to and from the boat through the water. These tents of mine are fixed tents, and the speed is very fast whether they are erected or retracted. Hurry up." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Gao Chuang nodded, "We really want to stay on this ice floe for about a week. According to my past experience, there will be a lot of fishery resources under such a large ice floe. After that, I will leave the ice and start fishing. Wasn’t your goal before you set off for Antarctic krill? You will see a large amount of Antarctic krill in a while.”

Xiang Yang asked people to set up the tent and put the sleeping bag inside, but did not do any further work to keep warm. Inside the tent, the main thing was to take a rest when they were tired from work during the day. At night, it was impossible for them to sleep on the ice floes .

It is indeed too troublesome to go to and from the boat through the water during the day, and Xiang Yang needs a temporary base.

But at night, if the crew members who have worked all day are not allowed to go back to the heated cabins on the ship to sleep and have a good rest, it is a bit unreasonable.

On the other side, Gao Chuang was also instructing people to do similar work, except that instead of setting up a tent, he just let people spread a big blanket on the ice, and then spread a thick layer of nylon on the blanket. There are a lot of food and water on it, as well as power generation equipment, as well as oxygen tanks, oxygen masks and the like.

"Captain Xiang, this is what Mr. Gao asked us to bring to you." At this moment, several young crew members carried a box of things and put it in front of Xiang Yang and said.

"What's this?"

"This is a snow suit, which can be put on the feet to prevent snow from entering the shoes." The fisherman said.

Xiang Yang opened the box and took a look. Sure enough, the box contained a large number of snow suits that could be worn on the feet.

"Thank you Mr. Gao for me." Xiang Yang thanked after receiving the things.

"No, these things are not worth much, we have a lot of them on board." The leading crew member said indifferently.

There are only two seasons in Antarctica, winter and summer. Winter is from April to October each year, and summer is from November to March of the following year.

This season is the summer in Antarctica. The days are long and the nights are short, so even though there are large pieces of floating ice on the sea surface, the temperature is not very cold. The temperature on the entire sea surface is generally minus 15 Between Celsius and zero Celsius, it is much warmer than the outdoors in winter in northern my country.

After Xiang Yang and the others were fully armed, they didn't feel cold at all. Some even felt that their backs were covered with sweat and they were stuffy.

Of course, it's daytime.

At night, the temperature changes completely, and in some places it can even reach minus thirty-five degrees Celsius to minus seventy degrees Celsius.

This is also one of the main reasons why Xiang Yang does not do warm work in the tent, and does not plan to let the crew sleep in tents at night. No matter how much warm work is done, it is not as warm as the cabin on the ship.

After the base was built, Gao Chuang sent dozens of people, divided into more than a dozen teams, each carrying a gas pipe on his back and holding a flamethrower, to patrol around the ice to protect the safety of the camp. Then start cooking with electric heating equipment.

Xiang Yang saw that Gao Chuang and the others were preparing food, so he also said to his crew: "Before digging into the ice, let's eat some food to replenish our strength, including the things in the cabin on the ship. Everyone just open their bellies and eat hard. If you want to eat Eat whatever you want."

The crew did not applaud happily.

When Xiang Yang came out this time, he didn't prepare power generation equipment, and they couldn't live and cook on the ice, so they could only eat the cold dry food.

But fortunately, Xiang Yang prepared a lot of food for this trip, such as cold noodles, cold noodle, cold dishes, as well as stewed vegetables and canned food, many of them are more delicious cold.
