Chapter 701: Confession!
It's the third day.......
Lei Xue lived in the room, using pen and ink to record the events of the two days after entering the ice field, the room is still as beautiful as before, but if you look closely, you will find that there is a trace of decay on the original vibrant wood grain.
According to the technical conditions, the wood on this ship is a high-grade biological wood, and after a special process, even if it is soaked in water for 30 years, there will be no signs of decay, but just a few days after entering the ice field, many things on the ship are undergoing an inexplicable change.
Lei Xue sighed and continued to write with his frozen hand: On the third day of entering the ice field, because there were floating ice blocks on the sea surface at any time, the need to break the ice at all times caused the ship's forward speed to drop significantly, and the entire ship advanced less than 100 nautical miles in three days, but there was still no sign of leaving the ice field.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is an irresistible cold, the heating equipment on the ship is like a decoration, the thick cotton clothes on the body cannot resist it, and even the food is, the hot food enters the mouth like ice slag, and there is no longer the delicious enjoyment before!
Moreover, the food on board is rotting at a rapid rate, especially the sealed canned meat, which according to Jelly Bean uses a high-quality vacuum technology, and the shelf life is at least more than three years, and the freshness of the meat will be guaranteed to a certain extent.
But this statement does not seem to have come true, and it is unknown whether it is due to the problem of sealing the cans or the environment, because according to the chef, the cans are only half the size when opened, black and rotten with a foul stench on them, and they feel like they have been eaten by something!
Mosenkin and I examined the cans carefully, and found that there were no signs of being opened, but there were signs of being eaten, which was very disturbing, because even microorganisms should not be able to enter the sealed cans.
As I first wrote this, there was a slight knock on the door outside....
"Captain, the captain has asked you to assemble for a meeting!"
Lei Xue stopped slightly when she heard this, she carefully put the diary in her pocket and walked out slowly.
As soon as the door opened, she smelled a faint musty smell, which had not yet found its source, and had been spreading on the ship less than three hours after entering the ice, and for some reason, the whole ship gave people a feeling of twilight!
After leaving the room, she followed the crew member, and soon came to the conference room, where the table in the middle had been torn down, and more than a dozen senior personnel of the ship were sitting around a fire, and everyone was actually using the most primitive way to keep warm.
But this is one of the most useful methods of experimentation so far, pure fire is the only thing that can bring warmth to people in this strange ice field.
As a result, a lot of unused wood on the ship was burned, and the good news is that these pieces of wood can withstand burning due to their high quality, and a small piece can often be burned for most of the day.....
"Lei Xue, come on, come on, sit here!" Li Goudan saw Lei Xue coming, and hurriedly beckoned.
Lei Xue was not verbose, walked over quickly, and after reaching the fire, a long-lost warmth came, so comfortable that people almost groaned.
"Let's get down to business..... Li Goudan rubbed his hands and said: "Today is the third day, there is no hope at all to move forward, this captain is considering whether to go back and exit this ice field!" ”
Everyone was refreshed when they heard this!
After three days, the captain finally said something useful, and she finally confessed to it!
"Captain, I think it's necessary!" The second mate was the first to speak in agreement, and the people around him hurriedly nodded, it was obvious that they were going crazy in this kind of ghost day.
Lei Xue also nodded slightly, now the situation is getting more and more weird, and it is indeed an unwise choice to continue to move forward....
However, the first mate Wang Ye spoke: "Most of the food on the ship has been rotted, can you stick to the destination if you retreat and detour at this time?" ”
Lei Xue: "The food stored on the ship spoiled for unknown reasons, but the fresh biological circulation system was not lost....."
Wang Ye: "But that shouldn't be enough for a few hundred people on the boat, right?" ”
"You can catch ..... fishing," Lei Xue continued, "There is an advanced fishing system on board, and even the conditions for hunting large sea whales, as long as you get out of this ice area, you can still meet your food needs by relying on the fishing system to hunt sea creatures, and as for the lack of fruits, you can use the indoor greenhouse to grow high-grade acid fruits.....
"Isn't there sea life in this ice field?" Wang Ye asked curiously.
"There doesn't seem to be a ...... at the moment" Lei Xue shook his head with a solemn face: "After discovering that a lot of food was rotten, I activated the underwater probe to find a new food source, but the strange thing is that there is no sign of life under this sea area, and after two days of walking, there is still none, just like the Dead Sea!" ”
Hearing this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, Li Goudan shrank his head slightly, obviously regretting that he had led the team in impulsively.
Wang Ye frowned, and finally sighed: "Since this is the case, I also support the retreat....."
He originally wanted to protect the dignity of the captain of the first wave, although entering the ice field was a seemingly wrong decision, but he had come to this point, if he had the opportunity to persist in it, he still hoped to stick to it, after all, it was very detrimental to the captain's position to easily reverse his previous decision.....
"In that case, let's turn around and go back!!" Li Goudan finally made a decision!
Seeing that this resolution came out, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief......
They were afraid that the captain would now insist on going his own way.....
After the resolution, everyone quickly stood up and prepared to pass on the crew, although some were reluctant to let the warmth of the fire happen, but obviously the news was even more exciting....
Seeing everyone's expression of finally being liberated, Li Goudan's heart was slightly lost, and Wang Ye walked in and comforted him when he saw this: "It's the first time, it's normal to make some mistakes, and excellent people are constantly growing up in failure." ”
"Your chicken soup doesn't taste good at all..... Li Goudan pouted.
Wang Ye smiled and said embarrassedly: "Born in special forces, this.... The level of education is limited.... Hahaha....."
Li Goudan looked at his embarrassed appearance and couldn't help but smile, and was about to say more, when suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, Li Goudan suddenly frowned, and a bad premonition flashed in his heart.
"Captain!!" The person who came was the second mate Wilson, and I saw him running over in a hurry, and before he could reach the conference room, he shouted: "There is a problem in the rear!" ”
"What's the situation?" Wang Ye floated over, although he looked like a ball, his voice was full of courage after years of experience as a special captain.
"Rear..... Rear ....." Wilson took a breath and stammered, "Frozen!" ”
"Huh?" Li Goudan stood up abruptly and hurriedly rushed towards overtime.
