In the Pacific Ocean, the Antarctic research ship "Fengyukimaru" of the Sakura Nation is returning home with scientific specimens of whales piled up in most of the ice storage.

The ship's crew went about their duties, while Captain Taiki Tsuchiya and First Officer Kunitake Akira enjoyed the fine whale meat sashimi while drinking sake in the spacious captain's cabin.

Their ship said that it was an Antarctic research ship, but it was actually a whaling ship that went to the Antarctic region to hunt whales.

Just like now, their big boat was breaking the waves, and there were two small boats following closely beside them.

The two boats are not escorting the "Fengxue Maru", but anti-whaling boats by environmentalists, with various slogans on them, all opposing and protesting against the killing of whales and dolphins, and constantly shouting with loudspeakers.

The bald Tsuchiya Big Tree was a little fat, and he moved his body a little to look at the protest boat outside the window and smiled: "Akira, do you feel that they are actually very cute?" ”

Guozhu Huang knew what he was talking about, and he also turned his head to look out the window and said: "No, I just feel that they are very annoying, chasing us all the way, trying to make us throw those whale meat into the sea, but how is that possible, those whales have become a delicacy, and it is still our income." ”

"Besides, they are already dead, and they are only eaten by other fish when they are thrown into the sea, what is the difference between being eaten by us, not to mention that after being eaten by us, they will be praised as "delicious", those fish do not understand anything. ”

"Hehe, they said theirs, we do ours, I just feel that their spirit of perseverance is very interesting, knowing that they can't do it, but they want to do it, what a persistent spirit this is."

Tsuchiya Taiki smiled, although he praised it, but in fact he was laughing and belittling, and Kunitake Akira could naturally understand it, so both of them laughed.

Just as he was about to raise his glass to drink, the smart glasses that Tsuchiya Taiki put on the table suddenly vibrate, and after he put it on, he found that it was a message sent by the second officer, with a sonar scan, saying that he had found a whale, which was very large, and could even participate in the "Big Whale Festival", maybe he could win a prize, and asked him if he wanted to fish.

Of course, Tsuchiya would not miss this kind of good thing, so he immediately gave the order, and by the way, he even brought the two anti-whaling ships.

“…… Warn them that we need a whale for scientific research, and hope that they will not hinder us, this is a great undertaking of scientific expeditions for the progress of the world. ”

"And it is easy to be dangerous during the operation of the big ship, let them not approach, if the dissuasion does not work, you use high-pressure water cannons to stop them, if it still doesn't work, let them get on the ship, let them smash something, and then control them like pirates and terrorists, and go back to the country to prosecute them."

"Understood, Captain!"

The efficiency of the current whaling ships is very high, especially the large whaling ships disguised as scientific research ships, and the equipment is even more complete, first using decoy sonar to lure the whales over, and then they surface directly with the whaling cannon to shoot, and now they can be killed with one hit.

In the process of killing this whale, the two anti-whaling ships made some moves, but they could not prevent the whale from being killed.

After dragging this whale onto the boat, they found that this whale is really big, they have been whaling for many years, they have never seen such a big whale, the captain also came to see it himself, according to his experience, this whale will definitely get a good ranking in the "big whale festival", and then it was bought at a high price, so it was quickly processed and put into the freezer.

On the way back, they also found a lot of whales and dolphins, and they were all bigger than they usually see, and it happened that there was still a lot of space left in their freezer, and they all caught it to fill it.

Now the area around Antarctica has been included in the warship patrol area, and warships from many countries have begun to patrol there, and whaling is also prohibited in the treaty, so they have to be cautious in Antarctica, but they didn't expect to have an unexpected gain on the return trip.

In order to celebrate this bumper harvest, Tsuchiya Daiki generously selected a whale that was not too big or small, and asked the ship's chef to cut a lot of fresh whale meat to make an exquisite whale feast for all the crew to enjoy.

"Hmm, it's delicious!"

Tsuchiya Daiki ate a piece of whale meat and exclaimed, "This is really the best gift God has given us!" ”

"That's right, it's the best gift of all, it's a pity that those countries don't eat whale meat, their people don't have access to these delicacies."

Guo Zhuhuang said the same thing, his face was very red, it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine, but his spirit was very excited, and he took the initiative to stand up with the wine glass and said: "Gentlemen, let's toast to this harvest!" ”

"Cheers!"

In the same situation as them, there are many whaling ships in the Sakura Country, they are all fully loaded, they are also unexpected, this time they can catch so many dolphins and whales at sea, and they are all bigger than in previous years, the average ten whales are almost the weight of twelve or thirteen before.

Now the time has entered September, and the alliance's "Glow" spacecraft has started the second lunar trial voyage, and has begun to deliver goods to the moon again, and this time everyone knows that the experiment of cryogenic dormancy technology is being carried out above, and is very concerned about the safety of those small animals, and the Federation immediately started the live broadcast of the sea trial, and regularly broadcasts the situation of the Glowing spacecraft to the outside world, as well as the vital indicators of experimental animals.

The trial voyage time is three months, and the time span is very large, which is enough time to actually fly to Mars, but for safety, some more experiments will be carried out.

The alliance side is a little unhurried, anyway, now they are in control of the initiative, they are not in a hurry, the federal side is a little anxious, but there is no way, they can only accelerate the construction speed of the interplanetary spacecraft again, and they have also revised the plan.

They have crossed the first phase of the plan, that is, they will not implement the second phase of the Mars plan for the time being, but will directly build the spacecraft into the second stage form, and then fly directly to Europa to find new life.

According to the latest news from federal scientists, Europa is likely to have life, and it is complex, which, if confirmed, would be absolutely important for the development of human civilization, even more so than the establishment of a permanent base on Mars.

In fact, many people know that this is definitely forced by the alliance, otherwise they would not suddenly revise the plan, no matter how much foreshadowing is done in front of it, it is useless.

However, this spirit of courage to move forward and dare to explore is still very encouraging, and many people feel that the alliance's steady and steady plan is too invigorating.

However, the country as a whole has ambitious space goals, and the people themselves have their own lives, just like Dong Qingchen, who had to come to the cherry blossom country in order to work.

September 15th is the Sakura Country Game Show, and after updating two regular map expansions, "Interstellar Life" is finally going to open its first game planet, and it is just in time for this kind of international big game exhibition, how can Dong Qingchen, the boss of the game company, not come in person.

And with the protection measures, you can pay for the danger, which is definitely different from last time.

Besides, he is not a Grim Reaper schoolboy and a walking catastrophe, how can he have an accident wherever he goes!
