Chapter 104: Ice Freezes
Mike's words made the people in the same city with him happy.
If they find Grandma Mack, they will run out of supplies, and when they return to find Mike, they will also be able to obtain supplies and shelter to save their lives.
Soon, someone asked Mike for Grandmake's address and photo, and in order to prevent finding the wrong person and being faked, Mike also told them a secret code that only he and his grandmother knew, and if they could match, they could confirm that it was correct.
After all, in this extremely cold environment, perhaps, even if Grandma Mac is still alive, she has become inhuman, and the reference value of the photo has greatly decreased.
There was a printer on board, and Mike quickly printed out the photos and addresses and distributed them to everyone.
Several of his brothers, seeing him do this, thought that the city was vast, and it must be difficult to find people, and like him, let other people who were going to leave the ship look for them.
They are entrenched on the ship, guarding the supplies, and the family has the last ray of hope.
The others who were about to disembark were in distress.
They couldn't take these materials at all, and they carried dozens of catties of materials to the sky, but dozens of catties of materials were not all food, and they could hold on for a few days in the ice and snow.
If you are close to the sea, you may be able to dig ice and fish, but if you go deeper into the city, there may be no way back.
But even then, there are those who insist on going.
Because, if you don't look for it, you have no hope at all.
Jack and Lena thought about it, and they couldn't give up so many supplies, but the key thing was that there was no way to transport them away.
They pondered that they would first move the supplies off the ship and then find a secret place to bury them.
Then, when the children are found, they dig up the materials to avoid being left on the boat and taken for themselves, and finally the bamboo basket is empty.
If only they could find a snow plow, but unfortunately, there shouldn't be one.
Mike was a smart man, and he tried his best to persuade everyone: "Guys, if you go with the supplies, you will only become the target of everyone's plunder, you can take some of the supplies with you, and the rest will be stored here, I swear by God, you will return safely, and I will definitely hand over the supplies to you in their original places." ”
As for if they can't come back, the materials left behind will naturally be theirs.
Everyone was hesitant, who could be sure that Mike would not break his promise, and he would be able to hold on to these supplies.
Under the influence of the last days, everyone is selfish.
Seeing that everyone was unmoved, Mike looked at the other envoys who decided to stay, and they immediately echoed: "Yes, it is very inconvenient for you to go with the supplies, if you don't have them, you can come back to get them, we still have to rely on you to find relatives, and we will definitely not dare to steal your materials." ”
These words moved some people's hearts.
Even if they find a cart to pull them away, they really can't take so many supplies with them, and Mike's persuasion does make some sense.
Just when everyone was still struggling, the icebreaker suddenly stopped.
It turned out to be a snowstorm again.
The temperature that was originally minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius plummeted to sixty or seventy degrees.
Everyone was crammed into a heated room, still feeling cold, and had to snuggle up to each other to keep warm.
This makes people who are looking for their families feel desperate.
In such cold weather, without preparation, can anyone still be alive?
"Smack~"
The yacht's engine broke down again.
The electric heating was stopped, and everyone had to light the stove to keep warm.
Originally, I could go ashore at eight o'clock, but now at six o'clock, I was forced to stop it, and I could only wait for the heavy snow to stop.
Everyone tried their best to keep the engine from turning off and the fuel tank from freezing, and used various methods to maintain the temperature, and they didn't sleep well all night.
Finally, it was dawn and the snow stopped.
There was no problem with the engine, but the snow was too thick, causing the ice to thicken to three meters and freeze hard.
The icebreaker rammed and ran over continuously, and there was nothing it could do.
The icebreaker was deadlocked.
This made the people on the yacht behind them panic, if the icebreaker could not run, they would not be able to leave here, and it also meant that they dragged the supplies back, and there were two or three more days of travel, even if not, maybe a week's journey.
Jiang Linhai asked: "It's so hard, how can you get it if you can't break it?" ”
Jiang Sidao: "Either wait for the ice surface to melt a little, or try again." ”
After repeated operations for a long time, the huge movement made Dr. Xiri panic for a while.
It's obviously a hard ice, and it's hard to break through the ice.
In this case, they are very experienced, as long as they get off the boat, use machinery or tools, chisel some cracks in the ice, and with the cooperation, the icebreaker can continue to move forward.
However, it was obvious that Jiang Si and the others were not panicked at all.
If it can't be broken, then it can't be broken, and it doesn't have any effect at all.
Dr. Xi Rui was in a hurry, planning to hurry everyone to help, Jiang Si suddenly sent instructions through the pager: "There is no way for the icebreaker to move forward, if you can't wait, you can get off the ship and go ashore by yourself." ”
The two-hour cruise on the ice is also possible on foot.
Hearing the news, Dr. Ciri was like a lightning strike, and his physical strength was exhausted on the way, how to find people, how to prevent materials from being stolen.
Mr. and Mrs. Mike, who planned to bury the supplies and hide them, jumped to their feet even more excitedly and vetoed: "No! ”
Jiang Si just gave them a choice, they couldn't fall in love, and it had nothing to do with them.
As soon as she wanted to hang up the pager, Dr. Xi Rui said excitedly: "Miss Jiang, we can help you break the ice and sail the boat, we all have experience, let us go, okay?" ”
Not only is it difficult to transport supplies, but most importantly, in case you encounter a man-eating megalodon again.
When Dr. Ciri said this, everyone didn't say they didn't want to break the ice on the ice.
After all, the water here is shallow, and the habits of giant sea creatures generally do not come close to the shoreline.
When Jiang Si heard that they were going to help break the ice, he raised his eyebrows, wondering if Dr. Xi Rui had other plans.
Qin Shen shook his head at her, and then she said, "Yes, you guys can go." ”
Soon, they put on thick Antarctic suits and went down to the ice with tools to break the ice.
Originally, there was an icebreaker, but that thing was on Jiang Si's icebreaker.
Dr. Xi Rui was afraid that Jiang Si would think that they were trying to take away the icebreaker, and when he hesitated to speak, Jiang Si asked them instead: "There seems to be an icebreaker in the warehouse underneath, don't you need it?" ”
Jiang Si can drive, but she can't operate, and there are ready-made people to use, she doesn't bother to operate, they wait and see on it, how to operate, learn it, next time they may use it.
Dr. Ciri suddenly felt that Jiang Si was really kind, and maybe he could exchange some of the supplies for an icebreaker.
If Jiang Si can agree, he can go to his daughter with the supplies.
