Chapter 407: Nuclear submarines and whaling ships

The god of the north wind is diving in the Atlantic, and the submariners have rules that they can't communicate with the three of them, but Yang Pingfan's special ability that he has unlocked can still know through geomagnetism that the nuclear submarine turned to the north to dive, and it seems that he intends to pass through the North Pole, take the Bering Strait into the Pacific Ocean, and send them back to the Ming Kingdom.

This is a long route, after settling down, Zuo Ci locked himself in the room to meditate, people like him, often meditate in the process of cultivating immortals, there is no problem, but the monotony of life on the ship is unbearable for Li Lan, who is accustomed to a free and active life, Yang Pingfan in order to comfort her, can only add fuel and vinegar to the previous escape from the Maple Leaf Country with Liu Yuan, and still can't arouse Li Lan's interest, until this day, a chance accident made her return to a state full of interest.

On this day, everyone was allowed to go on the deck to breathe, the nuclear submarine has floated up, is ventilating, everyone on the deck to look around, the vast world is a boundless ocean, the fresh sea breeze makes everyone's depressed mood improve, suddenly Zuo Ci shouted, "This is Kun?"

Everyone looked over and found that the nuclear submarine was sailing among the herds of whales, but Yang Pingfan was not surprised, because he knew that these animals were overly pursued by people, and they all hid in the sea water at the edge of the poles and high latitudes.

"The role that whales play in the maritime industry has a significant impact on geographical discoveries. The whales, which attracted first the Skers, then the Yasdouli, and then the English and Dutch, followed it, and led them from one extreme of the earth to the other, fearless of the dangers of the ocean. ”

I don't know when, the captain also appeared on the deck, talking to everyone in fluent English, Lao Maozi took in the MSF organization that caused trouble for Company X and North America, and naturally valued Yang Pingfan as one of the leading figures, not to mention that Amy gave a lot of benefits in order to persuade Lao Maozi to rescue everyone out.

Yang Pingfan politely greeted the captain, and then sat on the deck with Li Lan, the sea was calm. These latitudes are bringing beautiful autumn to everyone.

Not far from them, a sailor pointed out a whale in the eastern sky, and exclaimed: "Look carefully, we see its gray-black spine floating and sinking on the surface of the sea five nautical miles from us, ah, if I were on an ordinary whaling ship, it would probably be a very pleasant encounter for me! It was a whale with a huge body! Look how strong its nostrils are, and how strong it is to spew out a column of water mixed with gas! What a hate! Why am I tied to this steel plate!"

Yang Pingfan made up for the Russian language, and only heard the captain shout, "Soldier, it looks like you want to jump into the sea and become a whaler?"

"Ah yes, no, no, no,"

Hearing the captain's words, the sailor first subconsciously admitted it, and then denied it, he turned to the captain and saluted, and then explained: "My ancestors were whalers, yes sir, hunting whales in the Arctic Sea, in the Bering Strait and the Tyves Strait. ”

Yang Pingfan smiled slightly, "Oh, it seems that there must be a lot of interesting things, let's talk about it." “

The sailor was curious about the few yellow men who were closely guarded, but without the captain's permission and did not dare to break the rules, he looked at the captain, and after asking for permission, he opened the conversation.

"A few decades ago, when my grandfather was still very young, he caught a whale near Greenland at 65 degrees north latitude, and he was carrying a harpoon that would normally be stabbed by a whaling ship in the Bering Strait. ”

Yang Pingfan was stunned, "Why can you see that it is a whaling ship in the Bering Strait?"

The sailor sneered, "Because there is Japanese on it." ”

Ignoring everyone's astonishment, the sailor continued to talk, "In fact, whales are endemic, and depending on the species, they settle in a certain part of the sea and do not leave. If there is a whale walking from the Bering Strait to the Titan Gorge, it is very simple, because there must be a waterway between the two oceans, either off the coast of the Americas or off the coast of Asia. ”

The captain smiled slightly, "And then?"

The sailor puffed out his chest, "Based on this, my grandfather guided the Red Navy's submarine forces to find a secret route from under the Arctic ice to quickly reach the east coast of North America and Asia. ”

It turned out that there was this allusion, and as soon as this remark came out, everyone was in awe.

The sailor may have been a chatter, or he may have been in an environment that asked for silence for a long time, and he could not close the conversation, "I have seen a great whale, sir, a great whale that grows to a hundred feet! I would even say that the whales on Hulamok and Ongarik in the Aleutian Islands are more than a hundred and fifty feet long." ”

Li Lan didn't know Russian, and Yang Pingfan translated it to her, and she shook her head: "I think it's a bit exaggerated," she said, "these things are just cetaceans, animals with spinal fins, and the same goes for big-headed whales, but they are usually smaller than ordinary beluga whales." ”

The sailor pouted, "Ah!" he cried, his eyes not taking off the ocean, "it's coming near, it's coming into our hydrosphere!ah! It's not = whales, it's ten, twenty, a whole flock!

Yang Pingfan quipped, "Why don't you ask the captain for permission for you to chase and fight?"

To everyone's surprise, the sailor shook his head, "Forget it, whales are elves in the sea, and they used to be beaten for life, not for the sake of need, and they couldn't enter heaven." ”

Everyone continued to chat casually, and a sailor climbed out of the hatch and rushed to the captain's side to whisper a few words, and the captain turned to Yang Pingfan, "Sir, the good times are coming to an end." ”

Yang Pingfan shrugged his shoulders to show his understanding, and Li Lan first drilled into the submarine along the vertical ladder, and there was a piercing whistle overhead, and the sailors who were breathing back one after another, with a clang, the hatch cover closed, and the nuclear submarine sank again.

After a conversation just now, it was obvious that some kind of rule was broken, and Yang Pingfan soon got the news that the sonar showed that a ship was approaching their side, and after careful identification, the sonar soldiers found that it was a civilian ship.

"Hmph, civilian ships in such a place as the Arctic, there is no need to doubt it, there are only them. ”

Unaware of the danger, the whales still frolicked around the nuclear submarine that had dived to safety, and through the observation window, they could see the appearance of these big-headed whales with huge heads.

The body of this creature sometimes exceeds twenty-five meters, the huge head accounts for about one-third of the length, its mouth has twenty-five thick teeth, the teeth are twenty centimeters long, the tips of the teeth are cylindrical and conical, each tooth weighs two catties, that is, in the upper part of the huge head and the large cavity separated by cartilage pieces, there are three or four hundred kilograms of precious oil called "whale white".

The so-called civilian ship had approached, and it sped up violently, and rushed into the school of whales, like a vicious dog that had been robbed of, and saw what it was biting, and crashed into the poor whales, and passed through, leaving only the two halves of the wriggling body of the sea creature.

The whale's mighty tail struck the side of the boat, and it didn't feel it at all, but some brave whale crashed into the boat, like a praying arm blocking a car, and killed one whale, and it ran to hit another, and it immediately turned around and refused to let go of its prey; it went forward and backward, completely at the command of the helmsman, and the whale sank into the deep water, and it dived down to chase it, and the whale floated to the surface, and it also followed, either frontally or sideways The face was pierced, or cut, or torn, in all directions, vertically and horizontally, and it pierced and stabbed with its terrible steel body.

What a shrill howl these terrified creatures in the ocean, and the kind of snoring that is characteristic of them! The middle of the water, which had been very quiet, was now stirred up by their tails into real raging waves.

This oppressive slaughter lasted for an hour, and the poor big-headed elves could not have avoided it, and on several occasions ten or twelve of them joined together to try to take advantage of their size and stop the ship, to cover the retreat of the mother whale and the calves, but the flesh could not withstand the steel, and the ship urged its thrusters, and overcame them, and dragged them, or carried them to the upper reaches of the water, in spite of their enormous weight, and in spite of their exerted pressure.

Eventually, the group of big-headed whales dispersed: the waters were calm again, and the ocean was full of rotting corpses, and even a violent explosion could not have torn apart, torn and shattered the huge pieces of flesh more violently.

Everyone quieted down, a killing that happened in front of them stunned everyone, Li Lan buried his body in Yang Pingfan's arms, trembling, Yang Pingfan's voice was dry, "Whose ship is this?"

"Dongying's whaling ship. ”

The God of the North Wind itself's mute ability and silencer tile absorb the opponent's active sonar sound waves, making it a black hole in the ocean, even if it is suspended not far from the Dongying whaling ship, it will not be detected.

At this moment, the submarine's thrusters slowly turned, driving the submarine backwards into the distance, pulling away some distance.

"Mr. Yang, do you know why I sympathize with and even support MSF?"

Yang Pingfan was stunned by the captain's words, and said with some hesitation: "MSF rebels against the tyranny and politics of Company X, and Company X controls all resources, which is tearing mankind apart and even cutting off the hope of human civilization to move forward......

"No, that's just one aspect—"

The captain shook his head, "Just like my sailor, we not only have to fight against the tyranny and politics of Company X, but also because of the MSF philosophy, all things are animist, all beings are equal, no one is oppressive, and they should all be treated equally." ”

When he said this, the captain used English and TA used IT, Yang Pingfan thought it was a slip of the tongue at the time, but later found out that this cause and effect had already been planted.

"Therefore, such indiscriminate killing of innocent scum should sink into the water!"

The thrusters were turning, whipping the sea with regularity and rapidity, and the god of the north wind floated in the waves, and the slight oscillation of the waves sometimes turned it to one side, and sometimes it turned to the other, but what remained unchanged was that the distance between the two gradually widened, and the nuclear submarine slowly turned its bow towards the whaling ship.

With a familiar whistling, Yang Pingfan stayed on the submarine for a long time, knowing that this was the water being sucked into the water storage tank on the ship, and the nuclear submarine continued to sink, adjusting his attitude to a 30° diagonal line.

Li Lan's eyes were a little frightened, she guessed what the God of the North Wind wanted to do, Zuo Ci also came out of the room rarely, walked to Yang Pingfan's side and said: "After a thousand years, mortal consciousness is so high, contemptible admiration. ”

The god of the north wind was not going to waste a single fish, a toro, or an anti-ship missile, it was going to strike in an ancient way, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, under the line of the whaling ship's buoys, where its steel hull could not protect its edges

A rapidly amplified tremor rang out, and the speed of the god of the north wind had obviously increased, and it was now moving forward, and its entire hull trembled.

Suddenly, there was a dull clicking sound, a bit like tearing a piece of clothing in the next room, and the collision happened, but relatively light, and everyone could feel the piercing power of the steel horns, and they could hear the sound of pulling and sending in.

But the god of the north wind, with the strong impetus of the thrusters, rushed across the whaling ship, like the sharp pole of a sailboat through the cloth sail!

The observation window was opened, and everyone was immediately looked at, only to see a huge object sinking to the bottom of the water, and the nuclear submarine descended into the abyss with it to see with their own eyes the pain of its death.

Everyone saw the whaling ship's hull crack, the sea water rushing in like thunder, and then flooding two gantry cranes and a water cannon against the Green Ocean Protection Organization, the deck was full of black shadows moving back and forth.

The sea rushed up, and those who were suffering jumped onto the mast net, grabbed the mast, struggled in the water, twisted their limbs, and it was like a human ant's nest suddenly invaded by the whole sea!

The whaling ship slowly sank, and the nuclear submarine followed it, watching all its movements, and suddenly there was an explosion on the whaling ship. The compressed air blasted the ship's deck away, as if it were on fire in the cabin.

The force of the influx of sea water was so strong that it rolled up a whirlpool, which even affected the nuclear submarine, and it also tilted, and could only start the propeller in reverse, and reverse backwards, so that the whaling ship sank rapidly, and saw that its mast was full of people who wanted to rise, and it appeared first, followed by its horizontal wooden frame, on which a string of people bent it, and finally the big mast.

Then, the black giant sank into the water, and with it, the crew of the dead bodies was pulled down by a powerful vortex......

Yang Pingfan turned his head to look at the captain, his expression did not fluctuate, this terrible referee executor is a real god of hatred, his eyes are always staring at the end of everything, and the other sailors are also fanatical, so that Yang Pingfan's dusty memories have been opened, and it seems that he has seen a similar demeanor somewhere.

The god of the north wind executed the Dongying whaling ship in a classical way, and then, as Yang Pingfan thought, entered the Arctic Ocean, and the icebergs began to appear, at first they were just some gray and white fragments of twenty to twenty-five meters, forming many reefs, and the waves rushed up, cruising with them on the icy sea, warning foreign objects that had broken into these forbidden places.

The nuclear submarine sometimes floats up, and you can see a dazzling snow-white belt, known as the "dazzling ice belt." No matter how thick the clouds are, they cannot make it black. It warns of a swarm of ice or ice in front of it.

Sure enough, soon larger blocks of ice appeared, and the white glow varied with the arbitrary change of the clouds, and some of the ice cubes showed green veins, like the corrugated lines drawn by the copper sulphate on them.

The other ice cubes resembled huge purple crystals, which in turn allowed the rice noodles to pass through, the latter reflecting the sunlight and reflecting the sparkle on the countless facets of their crystals, the former with the infinite chromaticity of limestone's intense radiation, which might be enough to build an entire marble city.

When the submarine sailed in the middle of the ice, the captain often cared about the platform, he was very attentive to the inaccessible sea in this area, and he commanded his submarine very skillfully, and very deftly avoided the impact of those large ice, some of which were several nautical miles long, ranging from 70 to 80 meters high.

There was no passage in the Arctic Ocean, but the captain searched carefully, and soon found a narrow opening, through which he steered the boat, and knew very well that it would be closed after him.

The submarine was commanded by this skillful hand, and thus walked through all these large ice blocks: Li Lan was extremely bored, and classified them according to the size of the ice cubes, that is: icebergs like mountains, ice fields or endless flat fields, ice floes or drifting ice, layers of ice or broken ice fields, circular loops called ice circles, and elongated pieces of ice called ice flows.

The further you go, the more majestic the ice becomes.

Here, a large mass of ice formed an oriental city with countless monasteries and minarets. The sun shone obliquely, and they appeared in a changing shape, which was lost in the gray clouds of the snowflakes of the great storm.

Secondly, there are explosions and cracks everywhere, and the icebergs are somersaulting, which changes the whole set here, like a translucent landscape oil painting.

When the balance of the ice was broken, the submarine dived into the water, and the sound came below, so strong and astonishing that the ice sank, causing a terrible whirlpool of deep and wide water, and the power reached the deep layers of the ice ocean, and the submarine swayed and shook as if it had been swept away by a mad current, but instinct led him, and by some slight sign the captain could find a new path.

A short distance can be crossed over the Bering Strait, but the layers of ice completely block the way, and under the water, this is not a real iceberg, just a wide ice field that has been frozen by the cold.
