Chapter 367: Tracking in the Angry Sea
The so-called Antarctic Ocean, or the Antarctic Ocean, refers to a large area of sea around the Antarctic continent, consisting of parts of the South Pacific, South Atlantic and South Indian Ocean, plus the Weddell Sea, the Ross Sea, the Amundsen Sea, and the Belinsgaujin Sea around the Antarctic continent.
The South Pacific Ocean from the south of 60 degrees south latitude to the Antarctic continent is the Southern Ocean, and although it is now possible to determine the approximate sea area where the Nissin Maru is active, the whaling fleet will always be active, and the sea area of the Southern Ocean is several million square kilometers, and finding a few ships from such a large sea area is a real needle in a haystack.
With the ship and the torpedo, all that remains is to find the Nisshin Maru, the sea area where Yelena and the others had an accident is close to the Amundsen Sea, but by the time the Avenger goes to sea, Nisshin Maru has already run there without knowing the road.
And this time the conflict between the Bob Buck and the whaling fleet caused a sensation, the whaling fleet temporarily interrupted the whaling and then transferred the hunting grounds of the whaling, although the Japanese whaling fleet has an area that is accustomed to activities, but this area is too large to rely on the Avenger to find it by itself.
Fortunately, Gao Yang has natural allies, and his allies are Greenpeace and Sea Shepherd, although the Bob Buck was forced to terminate the anti-whaling operation after ramming the whaling ship, but a Greenpeace ship, the Polar Dawn, joined the operation to stop the Nissin Maru whaling, and has been following the whaling fleet for non-violent conservation activities.
Greenpeace has announced the location of the Nissin Maru, so that other protection vessels will arrive. And the Avenger, like a shark that smelled blood, went straight to the Nisshin Maru.
Big Ivan undertook Gao Yang's commission, so in addition to preparing the hardware equipment, Big Ivan also took on the part of the intelligence work, and the information obtained through various channels will be sent to the Avenger in time every day, even if the location of the Nissin Maru changes, Gao Yang and they can always be notified in time.
Gao Yang has also lived at sea for a short time, but compared to the calm Gulf of Aden and the stormy Southern Ocean. It's like a bathtub. So from the first day of going to sea, Gao Yang was seasick.
After four days at sea, strong winds blew for three and a half days, and the sea conditions were very bad. In the midst of strong winds and waves. Gao Yang vomited in a painful seasick state every day. He couldn't even stand up with his legs, but Gao Yang wasn't the only one who was seasick, in fact, most of the people on the Avenger were seasick. It's just that the severity of seasickness is different.
Gao Yang is quite good, Ulyanko is the most dizzy one, he can't move when he lies on his bed, and Bruce, who was born in the navy, is not much better than Gao Yang.
The crew of the Avenger was all found by Big Ivan, a total of fifteen people, although all of them spoke Russian, but not all of them were Russians, and these crew members did not know each other before, although they all served in the Russian Navy, they were not from the same ship, in fact, these crew members from the four major fleets of Russia, the Pacific Fleet, the Black Sea Fleet, the Northern Fleet, and the Baltic Fleet, gathered on the small Avenger, and I don't know how Big Ivan gathered these people together。
Gao Yang lay on his bed, retching from time to time, vomiting and wanting to vomit, it was the most uncomfortable, when he first went to sea, he was sleepy for several days and could still sleep to resist the pain of seasickness, but now, he couldn't sleep for a while.
The spirit of the first time he went to sea had long since disappeared without a trace, Gao Yang now just wanted to end this purgatory-like sea trip as soon as possible, he didn't dare to think about how long it would take to find Nissin Maru, let alone how long it would take to return to land.
Cui Bo had been humming and chirping, and Li Jinfang had no strength to snort, Gao Yang was worried that if the sea conditions did not improve, he would faint to death on this ship.
In the midst of his anguish, Gao Yang suddenly heard the horn in the cabin sound in Russian, which was the captain broadcasting again, and Gao Yang quickly pricked up his ears and waited for Grolev's translation.
"Good news. ”
Listening to Grolev's good news, Gao Yang thought that he had found the traces of the Nissin Maru, but he didn't feel excited at all, but after Grolev finished speaking weakly, Gao Yang was really excited, and he was happier than discovering the traces of the Nissin Maru.
"The good news, the captain said, is that the weather is already improving, the waves are smaller, and in four or five hours at the earliest, it may be calm, and judging from the satellite imagery, the good weather may continue for a long time. ”
Gao Yang no longer had the strength to cheer, but he still raised his arm and said weakly: "Grolev, this is the first time in the past few days that you have translated good news for us. ”
With anticipation, Gao Yang seemed to be asleep, and survived a difficult time in a daze, and then, Gao Yang felt that the shaking amplitude of the ship was getting smaller and smaller, and finally calmed down.
Gao Yang fell asleep in a daze, and it was really asleep, not the kind of state that seemed to be asleep, couldn't sleep if he wanted to, and was sleepy when he woke up.
After Gao Yang finally woke up, although he still felt that his body was soft and did not have any strength, his head was not the feeling of spinning, and the hull of the ship was also very stable.
Li Jinfang was still sleeping, snoring like thunder, these days, Gao Yang saw Li Jinfang really fall asleep for the first time, except for Li Jinfang, no one else was there, they should have gone out.
Gao Yang didn't wake up Li Jinfang, enduring the feeling of discomfort and weakness, Gao Yang rolled over from the bed and got off the ground, without making any sound, and slowly walked out of the cabin holding on to the wall.
Although it is the summer of Antarctica, the sea breeze in the Antarctic Ocean is still very cold, and Gao Yang is a little thin, but after coming out of the small and stuffy cabin and slowly walking to the deck, the breeze blows and feels cold, but Gao Yang's spirit is also lifted.
A few days ago, the wind had been above seven or eight levels, but now, although it was still blowing, it was only two or three levels, and there were only some slight waves on the sea, and Gao Yang was finally able to walk smoothly on the deck.
Gao Yang slowly walked to the foredeck, and then he found that almost everyone was on the deck, except for the crew who could not leave their jobs, and the strong wind for several days had made everyone suffer enough.
Ulyanko was carried onto the deck to enjoy the fresh air, and in the past few days Ulyanko has vomited a little dehydrated, and he vomited so much that he couldn't even drink saliva, so for the past few days, Ulyanko has been relying on drips to avoid serious dehydration.
Ulyanko, who finally didn't have to hang a drip, waved his hand at Gao Yang weakly, and then said in a weak voice: "Hey, I just received the news, we are not far from Nissin Maru." (To be continued......)
