Everywhere on the YAMAL ship, the red and yellow alarm lights were lit up together, and along with these disturbing lights, there was an extremely piercing siren sound, and the crow-like howl resounded throughout the captain's room, and when the rabbit Schneider and Professor Mance pounced on the console almost at the same time, the light and shadow of the EVA lit up, but there seemed to be some problems with the projection signal, and the girl's 3D projection fluctuated from time to time.

"This level of alerts doesn't go out for no reason, what are you monitoring? Ice storms? Counterintuitive climate change? Or is it elemental turbulence? Schneider asked in a deep voice, before the people from the executive department got on the ship, the equipment department had already carried out a certain degree of modification when the YAMAL went ashore for maintenance, and the most useful and time-consuming modification was to --- the artificial intelligence located in the academy was connected to the ship.

The door opened the captain's room at the same time as EVA's reply, and the first to enter was the pretty Laurent girl, followed by Relbacco and the first mate, the central figures in the crew.

The AI's calm words also reached their ears: "It's a pity that you guessed everything, half a minute ago I got the signal of elemental turbulence through the alchemy equipment temporarily installed on the ship, and then an ice storm appeared in front of us without warning, the secret party did not launch a climate satellite over the North Pole, and I can't tell if this storm happened suddenly or formed under some natural conditions and collided with us." ”

Schneider frowned and continued to ask: "There are pre-placed surveillance drones near our icebreaker, have these little things brought back any valuable footage?" ”

EVA shook his head indifferently, and the projection appeared again in the nothingness of the air, and the first mate and Relbacco looked at the three- and two-dimensional projections in front of them in amazement, feeling that they were on a Star Trek spaceship rather than in a familiar icebreaker, they had just rested for a day in the harbor, and the captain's room, which was filled with the strong smell of vodka, had completely changed its appearance.

In the projected image, the aerial drone camera shows only a raging silver-white wall, ice crystals dancing wildly in the air reflecting the light from the sun, and countless silver threads seem to be intertwined in the distance.

They all saw that the high wall in the camera was approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if it was about to block the light from the sky, and the light of the camera gradually decreased, and the picture gradually became gray, very similar to their current situation.

This feeling is not good, the elemental turbulence is often due to the release of a large range of words and spirits of some dragons, but there is more than this possibility, even completely natural factors can also produce turbulence, and until now they don't even know whether they are suffering a deliberate attack by dragons or a small bad luck from nature.

"How long are we left until we get caught in the storm?"

"The front line is moving fast, our drones are not far from the storm, not far from us, and it is expected that in two minutes we will have a storm."

Raybacho smiled, a look of relief on his face, and he was about to pat Schneider on the shoulder, but when he noticed the iron mask connected to the ventilator, he lightened his strength: "A storm of this caliber can't take down our ship, and the YAMAL was built so that we can sail in such a harsh environment." ”

Schneider waved his hand again, EVA called up the monitoring of all parts of the ship, and after getting the alarm, most of the crew and the people of the executive department rushed to the deck as soon as possible, and found the silver line and white wall in the distance, shouting at each other in Russian, completing the preparation of the ship to avoid the wind at an astonishing speed, and the commissioners who lacked experience in polar navigation were still a little overwhelmed at first, but the quality of long-term training and the ability to be proficient in multiple languages allowed them to quickly have a preliminary communication with the sailors and join the work.

Before the storm, everything that could be put away on the deck was put into the cabin in time, and the things that had not had time to move were fixed by the crew with iron chains, and the tower crane above the cabin was folded and stowed, otherwise its slender structure could easily be broken by the wind.

After the shelter was completed, the crew also took refuge in the warm cabin, and although the real ice storm had not yet hit our YAMAL by this time, the temperature of the ship had begun to drop dramatically, and the sudden cold made everyone want to stay in their cabin and drink some vodka to warm up.

Schneider was pleased with the efficiency of the crew, but the expression on his face was still tight.

After surviving the shock of the sci-fi projection in front of them, Relbacco and the first mate had not yet taken this ice storm to heart, such a storm was really not a danger to the icebreaker.

"What will the storm do to our ship?" Upon learning that the sudden meteorological crisis would not cause substantial damage to the crew on the YAMAAL, Schneider began to think like an executive minister, and whatever the cause of the storm, he had to consider the worst-case scenario first, treating it as a premeditated dragon attack.

To be honest, dragon attacks often do not carry any conspiracy, they are a race that stands above humans, disdainful of using trickery, and tend to crush the past with absolute power, humans have taken advantage of this psychology to send many noble pure-blood dragons to cocoon.

However, the dragons are not completely without conspiracy, the accident in Greenland a few years ago made him unforgettable, and in the famous summer mourning in the history of the secret party, the dragons also showed a strategy that was not inferior to humans at all, which is the most terrifying place.

The AK47-wielding Flying Powder Scouts are already terrifying, and when the guns are put into the hands of the elite who are proficient in special operations, the level of deterrence will rise dramatically.

So Schneider began to wonder what the effect of the storm was, and he quickly asked the question.

Relbacco began to count with his fingers: "There is a high probability that our radio communication system and satellite navigation system will fail, and the compass will have little effect in the polar regions, which means that we will lose the ability to navigate. At this point, he seemed to find that the impact on the ship was indeed not small, which was a little different from his previous indifference, and he couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, but he still stubbornly continued:

"At the same time, there will be some problems with the power system on the ship, there will be irregular power outages, and the equipment on the deck will inevitably not be used in this environment, and we will not be able to use open flames."

The expression behind Schneider's iron mask was unclear, and he asked, "What equipment else can be used?" ”

"There will be no problems with the heating system and the supply of hot water, but the hot water will be exported from the cooling water of the reactor, there will be a trace amount of radiation, which is not a big problem."

Elizabeth, who had been listening, was also a little nervous when she heard this sentence "It's not a big deal", and she forced a few coughs to keep herself in shape.

Professor Mance's face was almost monstrous, and most of the equipment on the ship was almost deactivated! The loss of radio communication has deprived them of the support of the secret party and made them a lonely boat on the icy sea, and the failure of satellite navigation will also completely disorient the lonely boat, and the problems of the power system and open flames will undoubtedly make everyone on board have to maintain basic survival.

In other words, during an ice storm, they lost their limbs, plus their eyes and ears, and were unable to move or have a source of information.

"There's one more system that's going to be decommissioned." In the slightly trembling light and shadow, EVA's ethereal voice came, "Due to the interruption of the satellite signal, I will not be able to provide services to you during the next contact between the ship and the ice storm, the drone outside the cabin has been recalled to the top floor of the cabin, please recover it in time." ”

"The Ice Storm has fifty seconds left in the impact time, and I'll stop when the last news is over."

"The sonar of the vessel, which is about to be deactivated, has detected multiple unknown targets approaching us, and the speed is not fast." Her hand swept through the air, and immediately there was a projection of the ship's sonar, and near the black dot in the center, there were four or five red dots constantly approaching the center, and it seemed that the target was clear, and it was obvious that these red dots would definitely collide with the ship if they did not change direction. ”

The ship shook violently, the light source vanished, the captain's room was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers, and the long-haired girl disappeared with it, leaving only the last words echoing in everyone's ears.

"Good luck to everyone."
