1338. Icefish World (2/5)

Most modern icebreakers are super giant ships. Li Du once learned about one. The ship has a displacement of 37,000 tons, has a power of 7.35x107 watts, a length of 194 meters, and a width of 32.2 meters!

To start such a giant wheel, at least dozens of professional personnel must be required.

The icebreaker of the Bolevin family is not such a giant ship. Their family has great capabilities, but they have not yet reached the national level. Units that can be built and can afford icebreaker are all belonging to the state.

The impact hammerhead Shark was transformed from an impact ship. It is only 20 meters long. The bow shell is made of special steel plates at least ten centimeters thick. It is supported by dense steel components. The waterline of the hull is reinforced with impact-resistant alloy steel.

In addition to having a steel shell, it also has a terrifying heart that hits the Hammerhead Shark. The method it uses to break ice is to impact, push forward with full force, and also to retreat and accelerate forward.

There were crew members on the ship, but Li Du still chose to drive with his own people and let them be responsible for the maintenance.

Brother Wolf sat firmly in the cab, and the icebreaker left the dock and rode the wind and waves to the north.

"This boat is really good." Li Du patted the side of the boat and smiled, "It looks like an iron lump. You have to take such a boat to the North Pole to feel safe."

"The owner of the ship is probably cursing now." Sophie shook his head with a wry smile, "Is it a bit of a loss for us to do this?"

Li Du said: "It's really hurt, but what does it have to do with us? This is what Steve did with the ball, haha."

Thinking about Bobby Bolevin's reaction, he couldn't help laughing. This guy must regret provoking Steve and his group. In comparison, Steve and the Ford brothers are robbers.

The weather is good, the wind is beautiful, the temperature in the Arctic is very low, the sea is very blue, and you can see floating ice cubes from time to time on the ocean.

When encountering this kind of ice, the Hammerhead Shark will ignore it and accelerate and crash into it directly. It mainly relies on the power of the propeller and the bow to split the ice layer and smash it.

But doing this is more fuel-intensive. Although this ship is not a pure icebreaker, it is also an oil tiger. After getting tired of hitting a few times, when encountering large ice cubes later, Brother Wolf will turn the bow of the ship to avoid it.

When they enter the Arctic Circle, they enter the territory of the day, and the whole day is daytime.

Li Du experienced the polar day in Antarctica, but the North Pole was different. It was also daytime all day long, but at midnight, the sky was still dimmer.

After experiencing the novelty of the first few hours, the latter soon became boring, and driving on the Arctic Ocean was a boring experience.

Even such days are somewhat tormenting. Without sunrise and sunset, the human biological clock will begin to become chaotic. Even if there is a table to show the time changes, people will still feel uncomfortable if they feel different.

It was not until the glacier gradually approached the scenery that became interesting again.

Li Du has seen glaciers and icebergs in Antarctica. The glaciers and icebergs there are completely ice cubes. The Arctic is different. The glaciers and icebergs here have gray-black floating soil on the surface, and some plants are growing on them.

He has been very eager to enter the Arctic. It is summer. The Arctic not only enters the warmest season of the year, but also has the most prosperous and prosperous life of the year.

The Antarctic is pure white, while the North Pole has some green color.

After entering the glacier belt, the icebreaker shuttles across the sea, like a steamer sailing on the Yellow River and Yangtze River. There is a thick layer of ice on the sea surface, and the ice cracks open, and the sea water flows in the cracks, like a blue river.

Looking at the route records on the map, the veterans were walking along these ice crevices.

The icebreaker cannot drive in. The ice crack is too narrow and a small boat can pass through. Such a large ship cannot pass through. If it is forced into it, it will be a big one that will be stuck every day.

As for breaking the ice layer and forcing forward? Not to mention that impacting the Hammerhead Shark is just a copycat version of the icebreaker without strong icebreaking ability, even if the real icebreaker comes, you have to be afraid:

The floes in the Arctic are too thick, and some ice cubes are two or three meters above the water. Li Du thought it was an iceberg, but when he stood on the top of the boat, the ice layer was flat. Obviously, this is the conventional sea of ​​ice!

"Boss, can you change the course or go down?" Brother Lang asked Li Du.

This is in the Arctic, without references, and the map is not reliable, because glaciers are constantly melting and recondensing, and the map changes every year.

If they change their courses, although there are satellite navigation on the ship, they are still easily lost.

In addition, from the map, the veterans were driving the boat through ice cracks. Once they changed their course, they might not find a suitable route to the "invisible cemetery".

Li Du pondered. At this time, Abai, who was squatting outside on the side of the boat eating peanuts, screamed. It waved his hand to the front of the boat and pointed at it while shouting.

Several other little guys who were huddling together to keep warm ran over and looked at it, then started to scream.

Li Du went up to see it, and then saw a huge ice floating in front of the ship.

This made him wonder, just a piece of ice floe, what is there to pay attention to? Along the way, they have encountered a lot of ice floe these days.

He released the time and space flying insects and looked at the floating ice, and then he suddenly realized: there are fish in the ice cube! There are many fish in it!

Silver cod, haddock and herring are mainly frozen by these three common Arctic fish. Time and space insects shuttle through the ice, and Li Du discovered another big fish!

The fish is big, and it must be three or four meters long, but it is not a whale or a shark. Judging from its streamlined body shape and scimitar-like tail, it is a precious blue flag tuna!

Along the way, they mainly ate canned meat and dehydrated vegetables. The food stored on the boat was these things, and there was no very fresh food.

There are many deep-sea fish in the Arctic Ocean, and there are no fishing nets on the icebreaker. They can only occasionally get a fishing rod, but in this case it is difficult to get a harvest of fishing, so they didn't eat much fresh fish.

These fish were sealed in ice for a long time, but they should not have deteriorated. Li Du looked carefully through his eyes and saw that these fish even remained as they were before their lives, lifelike.

After knowing what was in the ice, he became energetic and said to Brother Wolf: "Crash the ice. When others took a boat, there were fish in the ice. Take it up and break the ice and eat the fish!"

The horsepower of the impact Hammerhead Shark increased. As the speed of the oar increased, the solid bow hit the huge ice floes!

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the front end of the ice was smashed, and broken ice of large and small fell into the water.

The icebreaker continued to move forward, crushing and hitting the ice layer wildly, and ice cubes continued to fall.

Li Du was concerned about the blue flag tuna. He had only heard of this kind of fish and had never caught it.

Fortunately, the Blue Flag Tuna was located in a deeper position. As a large ice cube fell into the sea, Li Du saw this and took Godzilla to find the big fish.
