462. Black Shadow Under the Ice
A new day has arrived, and the smell of canned fish has finally dissipated. Zhang Hengti led the ark and they got on the sleigh and started a new day's journey.
They took a sleigh to the sea again to take a boat, and after half an hour of sailing, came to a completely different island.
This island is very special, and it can even be said that it is out of place in the surrounding environment, because it is winter in the White Wood Islands, the temperature is very low, the surrounding sea is frozen, and the island is covered with snow.
But this island is different, there is hardly any white snow on this island, and even the sea area within 100 meters of the island is unfrozen.
Make it stand out in the icy environment.
Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, only one place, spring flowers bloom.
......
Zhang Hengti said that this is a non-freezing island, and the reason why it is not frozen is because this island has a special substance, which can reduce the freezing point of objects and seawater, so this substance was also made with snow dissolving agent before.
It is precisely because of the existence of this special substance that the snow on the island can melt quickly, and this substance will also affect the surrounding sea, raising the freezing point of the seawater, so that it cannot freeze, so that it has formed a strange ice-free island wonder.
But this also has a fatal drawback, although this substance can dissolve snow. Lower the freezing point. But it is very lethal to plants.
It can be seen that although this ice-free island does not freeze or snow all year round, there is hardly any plant growth on it.
......
However, although there are no plants on this island, it does not mean that there is no life, but it is too much.
Before you even set foot on the ice-free island, you can hear the sound of "chirp wow", which is inhabited by a large number of birds that fly around the peaks of the ice-free island like a large dark cloud.
These birds have a wingspan of about 40 cm and are white all over, but the edges of their bodies are black and they have a red throat pouch around their necks, which makes them look heroic.
The names of these birds do not match their heroic image, and their scientific name is Pirate Bird.
These pirate birds are arrogant and cruel, and in addition to hunting their own prey, they also live by predatory.
They will use their flying advantage and sharp claws to bully other animals in the Bitter Islands, and even the Bitter Wombats are among their targets and are often snatched by them.
Their brutal and domineering predatory style is the origin of their name "pirates".
It is said that when the developers first came here, the pirate birds were trying to ransack them in the same way as before.
But they miscalculated their opponents, and as the developers pulled out weapons like laser guns, shotguns, and electric birdnets, they immediately understood that they couldn't afford to mess with these two-legged creatures.
In the face of the guns, they immediately changed from raiders to singing and dancing.
......
But today, the pirate birds don't have to rob, the ark is here to feed them.
Zhang Hengti gave each of them a pair of gloves and a bag of bread cubes.
......
The ark held the bread cube alof, and from time to time pirate birds fell to eat it, which felt a lot like feeding pigeons in the square.
Everything felt good, but suddenly, after a pirate bird took a lump of bread, it shook its buttocks, and a stream of white feces fell on the ark's clothes.
Fang Zhou's face turned black in an instant, and he was very angry in his heart, this group of guys ate their own things, it's too much to like they do, this is really riding on their own head to.
What's more, the pirate bird is still hovering above the ark after pooping, which means that it still wants to eat what it feeds.
Well, satisfy it yourself.
......
Ark took out a new bread cube, leaned sideways, and wiped the feces off his body with the bread cube.
Then roll the bread cube and leave the part that is not covered with feces out, then raise your hand and raise it high.
Sure enough, the abominable pirate bird was fooled, swooped down and swallowed it in one gulp, and this time it did the same trick, that is, a lump of bird droppings fell.
However, the ark was wary and easily avoided it, and the pirate bird swallowed the bread cube and flew a few meters. Suddenly, there was a strange expression, shaking its neck and screaming with its mouth wide open, as if it knew what it had eaten.
It struggled to spit it out, but the hand swallowed the bread anyway.
This is really self-inflicted, eating and pulling by yourself.
It can also be regarded as recycling, self-sufficiency, creating a new way of cosmic survival.
After killing the pirate bird, Ark's mood also became happy.
......
Leaving the ice-free island, the group went to a nearby sea area, where there is a game called: Ice Diving.
As the name suggests, it's diving under the ice.
The rules of this game are to swim from one ice cave to another, and since it is a dive, it is not necessary to equip an underwater breathing apparatus, and you have to complete the game with your own qi, which can also increase the tension and difficulty of the game.
This is indeed a very dangerous game, first of all, the sea temperature here is very low, and because you are swimming under the ice, you can't rescue in the first place when you encounter danger, especially if the ice is close to 30 centimeters thick here.
Momoko is a very fun-loving and adventurous girl, and although everyone has advised her to be careful, she insists on having fun.
Everyone couldn't resist it, so they had to agree.
In fact, this ice diving is not only a project in the White Cold Islands, but it is naturally safe.
Visitors are snorkeling in the ice, and there is a guide rope under the ice that can be followed to reach another ice cave.
Moreover, when a visitor is in danger underwater, the management can electrify the guide rope, which will generate magnetism, so as to absorb the special wetsuit and quickly pull the visitor out of the ice cave.
.....
After Peaches put on a special diving suit, she said hello to everyone and went into the water with a smile, because she needed to hold on to the guide rope to move forward, so Peaches needed to use the backstroke to move forward under the ice.
In the first half of the ice scuba swim, Peaches looked very relaxed, and even greeted everyone through the ice.
The Ark's vision was far greater than anyone present, and he could see through the ice the changes in the deep ocean.
But when Peach had swam half the distance, a long black shadow suddenly passed by in the deep sea below Peaches.
Immediately afterward, a black shadow rushed towards the unaware peach like lightning from below.
