Chapter 435: Bowhead Whale

"Troublemaker?" Merlin was obviously very strange about Tang Hai's question.

"Aren't they dissatisfied?" Tang Hai is even stranger!

The yellow race is the easiest to satisfy, but at the same time it is the most difficult to conquer! Looking at several major counterattacks in Chinese history, the indigenous Indians of North America were almost exterminated and were unwilling to give in......

The Inuit are an exception?

Merlin soon realized where Tang Hai had misunderstood, and couldn't help laughing, he was actually overjoyed.

"As you thought, the Inuit here used to be quite poor, about a month's salary, an average of 200."

"Dollars?"

"I'm sure I won't talk to you specifically about the renminbi......" Merlin rolled his eyes and said, "200 US dollars a month, what can you do in the United States?" It used to be almost a closed world. And then the political axe appeared, saying that as long as I extract oil from you, I will give you two thousand a month? Three thousand? In short, much more money than before. There will even be some simple positions open to them. When they have money, they will desperately want their children to get an education, hope that it can be urbanized in line with the world, and then modern towns will slowly appear. Some families who don't support it can only slowly watch their neighbors become richer, and then have to compromise. ”

Merlin's words made Tang Hai fall into deep thought.

If it is converted into RMB, it is a simple village with a lot of resources, and the income of the villagers who rely on farming and doing some small business is very low, only a few hundred and 1,000, and suddenly a mining man comes, and the neighbors who support the mining have become more than 10,000, 20,000, or 30,000 yuan a month......

It is true that the yellow race is the most difficult to conquer, but in the same way, human beings do not suffer from poverty but from inequality! An opening is opened, and the Inuit will deal with the Inuit themselves.

Of course. Tang Hai supports development to make money, no matter how tough the Inuit in the North Slope area are, it is not only 10,000 people, and they were almost primitive people before, who can they beat? If they don't support development, can't they develop in the same oil vein that doesn't belong to them? At that time, they will be relatively poorer and poorer, and when the time comes, they will look at the gathering place of the super-rich. Thieves will definitely breed, and at that time, the people's customs will be terrible, but they will fall into their own destruction.

"But there are also opponents. I've heard that the head of a village called Neuksolt used to worry that there were oil extraction machines everywhere, and that the noise would scare bowhead whales away from shore, so it would be much more troublesome and dangerous for the Inuit to catch bowhead whales......"

"Profit reasons?"

Tang Hai, the bowhead whale, knows that the only giant cetacean in the Arctic, the female is larger than the male, and can reach a maximum length of more than 21 meters!

There used to be a lot of this stuff. The world doesn't know hundreds of thousands!

Unfortunately, after entering the era of the Great Whaling, the number of bowhead whales has declined rapidly, and now the global number may be 8,000.

"There are also concerns about the environment, it seems to be called the village of Pointelei? The village chief did not support the development of oil on the North Slope because of environmental concerns. ”

"You even remember the name of the village?"

"There are only eight Inuit villages on the North Slope, so it's easy to remember. But there are also some village chiefs who support development because of their interests, such as if oil is such a thing that can easily damage the environment, so it should be transported to other places as soon as possible, and even if it is not developed here, anyway. There is no way to reduce global CO2 emissions, since it is unavoidable. Then find a way to profit from it. ”

“…… This can't actually be said to be nonsense, right? ”

Merlin said slowly, Tang Hai learned that before 2005, the Beipo area was 100% against oil development, until two 2,500-meter-deep oil wells were drilled and saw the benefits, and six out of eight villages immediately approved the development.

As for those who went to Seattle to protest. In fact, they are not Inuit, no matter which side the Inuit hate, because they are outsiders, and under the slogan of environmental protection, they can use paternalism to point fingers at the Inuit?

Sighing, Tang Hai thought of the Inuit who were not in favor of development. I'm not in favor of killing whales! People here actually have a fishing quota of 22 bowhead whales a year? More walruses? How unreasonable!

Tang Hai took out the ocean current map in his mobile phone and observed it, and he was not in a hurry, the leakage here would not affect the dahlia in five years, and there were very few that could flow to the dahlia in five years......

The scenery of the north is completely different from the south, especially after arriving here, the most dangerous thing is not the wind and waves, but the ice floes!

Follow the navigation route, not afraid of running aground or anything like that, all kinds of 10,000-ton class are fine, where to get 500-ton class to worry about?

The main thing is to avoid the ice floes, which are big and like a small mountain!

However, there are not many threatening ice floes, and if there are more of them, what kind of boat can the Inuit companies run by the village as a collective have to hide from it? Not to mention the small sampan that still has a lot of homework here, not to mention making money, whether you can eat enough is a question.

Tang Hai looked at his phone, it was already more than seven o'clock in the evening, but why was it still so bright?

Suddenly, he remembered a very important thing, the North Pole is the 'polar day' in summer, and with the only one he is where he is now, it is all bright here for six months, the difference is only how bright it is!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly arranged the rest rotation of the Little Princess, and also called on the rest of the Princess to prepare for the rotation......

A piece of ice floe appeared, the radar system of the Little Princess had been changed after Jennifer's suggestion, and the ship was equipped with a very small target detection radar, not to mention the big ice floe, the Little Princess could detect it when the torpedo hit, of course, it was difficult to say if it could not dodge......

You get what you pay for, and according to Jennifer's words, the Little Princess's radar accounts for 20% of the Little Princess's value!

Tang Hai pays attention to safety first when cooking, and the same is true when going to sea!

After avoiding it, Tang Hai looked at the ice floe in the cab, he didn't care much at first, but then his eyes gradually widened, and the ice floe was full of fish! There are thousands of transparent ices that can be seen! I don't know how many of them are there!

A sea lion or walrus has been swimming with the ice floe, Tang Hai saw it with joy, and was about to take out his mobile phone to take pictures, but Ma Lena next to him had already made the first move.

Click!

Tang Hai also took a photo, it's interesting to think about!

More interesting things were still to come, sailing on the empty sea, Tang Hai suddenly heard singing......

"This is the song of the Siren, if you don't listen to it, you will lose your mind. As long as you're okay, we'll be okay. Malena rushed out from the side and covered Tang Hai's ears.

"Advocate science, oppose superstition! I'm a person who has seen the whole set and approached science! Tang Hai slapped Malena's hand away, and then went out to the deck of the ship to see what was going on.

A huge figure jumped out of the sea!

"Bowhead whale!"
