451. Shark gastric lavage
Before boarding the ship, Eric and his party began to count the equipment.
Relatively speaking, they have a very good attitude and are very well prepared.
Not to mention clothing and food, let's talk about other supplies, such as communication equipment, they have prepared two sets, one is Nokia's short burst information terminal, and the other is the Cougar 2000 security radio.
In addition, they also carried drones, night vision goggles, thermal imagers, etc., and weapons included US military sapper shovels, pistol shotguns, German KCB bayonets, and so on.
All in all, these people are indeed armed to the teeth.
Chen Song's preparation was not so sufficient, he and Angelina also prepared professional adventure equipment, but they mainly prepared clothing and food, and they prepared a satellite phone in terms of communication.
Eric told him that the satellite phone was useless and would most likely not work if it was stuck in snow and ice, because the snow and ice would affect the communication signal.
Chen Song doesn't worry about these things, he still has a light gate to use, it's a big deal to run to Yin Yang Peak when he encounters a problem, and he can use Dao to solve the problem that can't be solved by science.
After counting the equipment, they got on board and set off.
Trickron is the captain of the boat, and when the fishing boat leaves the port, he sets up autopilot, and Iceland has a fixed route to Greenland, which can be controlled by the computer.
The big ship broke through the waves and sailed westward, and the blue water of the sea turned to both sides, setting off a cold spray on the stern of the boat.
Sometimes a gust of sea breeze blows, and the amplitude of the waves increases sharply, and Chen Song has no time to retreat, and a wave crashes on him.
Fortunately, he was wearing a waterproof jacket, and the waves only wet his chin, but not his clothes.
Trickron walked over with a smile, he handed Chen Song a glass of wine and said, "Boss, come, eat the fish and drink the wine, and may the sea god bless us with a full load." ”
He handed over a goblet filled with white wine and a piece of fish soaked in it.
Chen Song stared at the fish: "This is not fermented shark meat, is it?"
"Sorry, exactly. Terry Kron continued to grin.
Hearing this, Chen Song waved his hand and refused: "I don't have any interest in shark meat." ”
Angelina took the cup and said, "It is a tradition of fishermen in the south to pray for the protection of the sea god by eating a piece of shark meat and drinking a glass of spirits when they go out to sea. ”
Fishing plays an important role in Iceland's economy, and the Vikings have been fishing since they came to Iceland.
The seas of Northern Europe are rarely calm, so many traditions were established by fishermen in ancient times to seek psychological comfort in order to go to sea smoothly.
From ancient times to the present day, many maritime traditions have been annexed or lost, and now only a few remain, and these projects are deeply rooted in the bones of fishermen and sailors, who treat them with great reverence.
Doing as the locals followed, Chen Song couldn't refuse anymore, he also took a cup and said, "Okay, then how should I get it? Drink the wine and eat the fish, right?"
"Half right," Trickron instructed him, "drink half a glass of wine, eat half a piece of shark meat, and pour the rest into the sea and present it to Egil." ”
Egil is the god of the deep sea in Norse mythology, not very famous, and there are some places in Norse where he does not have a place in myths and legends.
Fermented shark meat itself has a strange smell, similar to the smell of urine, and it stands to reason that alcohol can suppress this taste, but the wine content is relatively low, not as strong as black death wine.
The alcohol content was too low to suppress the taste, but the two merged into a new strange taste, and Chen Song felt that it was better to simply eat shark meat and then drink a sip of wine.
Although the sea was rough, the weather was generally good, Chen Song sniffed the abundant moisture, and then the fishing boat sailed through Iceland's Cape Lecha Peninsula before turning north, towards Greenland.
Sailing on the sea is a very boring thing, Chen Song is a mountain person, and he is not very familiar with the sea, so after getting on the ship, he still felt relatively novel at first, and everything was interesting to see.
But after spending half a day on the ship, the novelty is gone, and all that's left is the same sea and sky.
In this way, Chen Song understands that Terry Kron will be an alcoholic, and if he doesn't drink some alcohol to numb his nerves when dealing with the ocean all day, he may be driven crazy.
He was also bored in the afternoon, and just as he was about to go find some beer to drink, Angelina suddenly pulled him and said excitedly: "Look, look ahead, weasel shark!"
Chen Song looked at it and soon found a big shark that surfaced.
This shark must be three or four meters long, with a burly and powerful spindle shape, a large mouth, and two small black eyes.
The boat headed in the direction of the shark, and the shark suddenly opened its mouth and spat out broken pieces of flesh or whole small fish, which floated on the surface of the sea, and the waves swept them forward.
Chen Song asked in surprise, "Why did this fish vomit?"
"Maybe our ship is too ugly?" said Angelina, teasing.
When Trick Lang heard the news, he leaned on the bow of the boat and looked at the sea carefully, and then said excitedly: "Good luck, slow down the boat, there are schools of fish and crabs around, we are going to have a harvest today." ”
Chen Song asked, "What do you mean?"
Trickron pointed to the shark still floating on the surface and said, "Look, the weasel shark is doing stomach lavage, and it's obviously frustrated and scared by our fishing boats." ”
Chen Song touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "I don't understand what you said. ”
"You know the ferrets, you know? A very ferocious shark, just as hard to mess with as great white sharks, they are very voracious, they are gluttons of the oceans, they will eat everything, seals, shrimps, crabs, shellfish, and of course seabirds, and they will spit out something that they can't digest. ”
Speaking of which, he pointed to the shark again and said, "If they are overly frightened when they vomit out, they will have a stress response and will vomit their entire stomach directly." ”
The weasel shark Chen Song knows that this is a very famous shark that is commonly known as the tiger shark in China.
In fact, the tiger shark called by Chinese coastal fishermen is not the same thing as the real tiger shark, the real tiger shark is not too ferocious, and the weasel shark is terrible in comparison.
Listening to Trikron's words, Chen Song was surprised: "Is there such a thing? Being so frightened that he vomited his stomach? This is a bit exaggerated, right?"
Trickron shook his head and said, "It's not an exaggeration, I was at sea in the early years, and I once saw a great white shark get caught in a fishing net and was so panicked that it even squirted out its own baby!"
At this moment, even Angelina was stunned: "Really?"
Eric, who was next to him, said: "I've seen this happen too, it's normal for sharks, they stop their pregnancy on their own to regain their optimal physical condition to escape." ”
Trickron continued: "Yes, that's normal, I've seen a great white shark hunt a seal, and then it was targeted by a couple of killer whales, and the great white shark immediately vomited all the seals and ran for their lives, and the killer whales didn't chase the seals. ”
