Just south of Nangundo Island, a battered ocean-going ship for civilian and commercial purposes is moving at full speed.

On the deck, several European and American men wearing the same black T-shirts are leaning on the side of the boat and smoking, and the embroidery on their chests shows that they belong to Sea Shepherd.

Just yesterday afternoon, they clashed with the Japanese whaling ship near the Arctic Ocean, and when they tried to ram the opposing ship, the Japanese naval convoy came over and fired more than a hundred bullets at them.

Although the operation failed, these people did not have the slightest look of frustration on their faces, and they were still talking and laughing.

At that moment, one of them, a fat old man with a beard, and the walkie-talkie in his hand rang, "Paul, come here." ”

"What's the matter...... said the old man, hurrying towards the cockpit.

There were five or six members gathered in the cockpit, and the expressions on their faces were very strange.

A black man standing in front of the voice-activated console said, "Just received a warning asking us to take a detour. The coordinates of the communication are from the small island of TKYC-1999102, which is directly 200 nautical miles in front of us. ”

"Isn't that island an uninhabited island?" asked the old man with a beer belly suspiciously.

The black man said: "According to the inquiry just now, the island is now a private island. ”

"So what? This is the high seas, why did they let us go around?" said the old man, puffing on his cigarette, "Leave them alone, and keep going." ”

......

On Nanjun Island, Han Yi was standing in front of the virtual large-screen display, looking at the flag on the ship's mast, frowning.

To be honest, Han Yi doesn't like the country of Japan, and even hates it from the bottom of his bones, but now he doesn't hate whaling.

There may be a lot of people who don't understand why?

A "Dolphin Bay" released a few years ago nailed Xiao Ri Ben to the pillar of shame;

In 2018, Nippon killed more than 300 whales, including more than 100 pregnant female whales, and the news was transmitted back to China, and countless Chinese netizens frantically abused Xiao Nippon, and Han Yi also scolded at that time.

However, after learning the truth, Han Yi was embarrassed, and his IQ was critically hit.

In many people's impressions, whales and dolphins are docile mammals, they are cute, obedient, and well-behaved, and the white dolphins in the dolphinarium are even more cute and girly;

But few people know that whales and dolphins are the real killers of the sea.

Whales eat a huge amount of food, a giant whale can eat nearly 2 tons of food per day, the bigger problem is that some whales often feed on small fry and small shrimp;

Contrary to the principle of "catching the big and letting go of the small" in order to protect the sustainable development of the fishery, whales and dolphins often appear in groups;

Everywhere I went, there was really no grass, bringing disaster to the entire marine fishing area

Those who have watched science and education films should still remember how whales hunt, they first drive small fish and shrimp together, and then concentrate on encirclement and suppression, suck the big mouth, and there is not a single hair left.

Some people may ask, why didn't the whales eat all the fish before human whaling?

This is because the regulation of nature is phased, not harmonious.

In the primitive state, if there was not enough food in any region, ancient humans would starve to death in large numbers, or be forced to migrate;

This is especially true for predators.

In a natural state without human intervention, large predators such as whales will leave or starve to death after destroying a fishing area;

Until a long time has passed, this fishing area will naturally recover and come back to continue eating.

This is how nature regulates.

In modern conditions, it is clear that such a toss of whales can no longer be tolerated.

In addition, in addition to humpback whales, the number of minke whales and giant whales in the world is more than one million, and the number continues to rise.

Then back to the matter of whaling, I believe that most people do not know that China is one of the countries that firmly supports whaling!

The same is true for Russia, Han, and Japan.

There's a lot of issues involved.

Excluding political factors, countries such as Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom have strongly launched a strong response to whaling, and the purpose is not as simple as "kindness";

People are rich in marine resources, and it doesn't matter if whales eat a little, they can just develop marine tourism, especially whale watching, and make a lot of money by taking advantage of people's kindness to whales;

According to incomplete statistics, whale watching alone creates billions of dollars in profits every year, as the person in charge of the International Marine Animal Protection Fund once stated in public that "live whales are worth more than dead whales".

And the marine resources of China, Japan, South Korea, and Russia are already unsustainable, so how can whales be allowed to grab food again?

The marine economic zones of several countries are interconnected.

When it comes to this Sea Shepherd association, the director, Paul Walker, is Australian......

At the end of the day, it's all about profit!

......

Sitting in front of the display screen and looking like Sophie Marceau, the robot came over and asked, "The other party ignored the warning, did he fire the expulsion mine?"

Han Yi thought about it for a moment.

Unlike the expulsion of French submarines, last time France was originally sneaky, and the expulsion was also expelled;

But this time it's a civilian ship, and if a high-powered weapon is used, it will be tantamount to putting Namgundo in a passive position.

And it's not a matter of hiding it all the time, the situation on Nanjun Island will be exposed to the world sooner or later, rather than that, it's better to use their mouths to go out publicly, as long as they don't show up.

Thinking like this, Han Yi said, "Let them come over!"

......

Looking at the brightly lit island at night, the crew of the "Philip" far away ship all showed shocked looks.

Especially Captain Paul.

He had passed by the island three years earlier, and he had visited it to explore, and he remembered the shape of the island vividly, which was a horseshoe-shaped island.

But what did he see now?

Gone are the huge "gaps" in that impression, replaced by a uniform coastline, windbreaks, and huge buildings looming through the trees;

The blue-gray buildings reveal the atmosphere that seems to come from ancient times, which makes him unconsciously have a kind of worship.

All of this casts a veil of mystery over the island.

Just then, a female crew member exclaimed, "There's a ship coming......"

Two white speedboats with searchlights on cut through the waves to the ocean going underneath;

Soon a cold command voice came from the intercom: "Follow us." With that, the speedboat turned around and headed for the North District.

The crew in the wheelhouse all looked at Paul, "What to do, Paul?"

Paul calmed down and said, "Follow!" Chris, you send the picture and video back to headquarters. ”

I followed the speedboat around to the port on the east coast of the North District, and what I saw along the way stunned the people of the Marine Conservancy.

Rows of modern buildings on the island, imposing;

The port wharf is neatly aligned, and the large-scale automated waterfront gantry crane stands majestically;

Dozens of scientific research and commercial dual-use ships, speedboats, and oil tankers are moored in the port;

There are also three ocean-going freighters and several container freighters on the northwest shore, which look like towering mountains at night;

Coming back to his senses, a black man asked, "Paul, shall we go up?"

The white man named Chris objected, "No, I think it's too dangerous here, let's get out of here quickly." ”

And another blonde girl who came back to her senses said excitedly at this time: "Anyway, it's already here, what are you afraid of, it's better to go up and have a look!"

Fat Paul looked at the harbor as bright as day, and his small eyes narrowed.

He has been paying close attention to the dynamics of the Arctic Ocean, and he has never heard of any country setting up a military scientific research institute here; even if he wants to do it, there is no need to go to the center of the ocean.

So...... It is likely to be the base of some ambitious consortium in the West.

After thinking about it quickly, the old man had an idea.

"Go, go up. ”

"Paul ......"

Paul turned around and said, "Chris, stay on board with Tony and Caroline." ”

......

A total of 16 crew members became the first visitors to Namgundo.
