75 degrees north latitude.

Arctic Ocean.

The biting cold wind tore through the sky, and under the black velvety night, there was a heavy icebreaker, advancing in the wind and snow.

'Click! ’

The crimson deck shattered the ice, and flakes of snow turned into hexagonal blades in the extreme cold of tens of degrees below zero, swirling and hitting the portholes and iron plates, making a sonorous sound.

The thick and tall icebreaker, like an unsinkable monster, moves forward on the black and white sea.

Two surging furnaces of heavy water nuclear reactors provide the polar beast with almost infinite power, allowing it to break through the ice and advance on the world's most brutal ocean, ignoring death.

"Click, click, click!"

In the spacious and warm cabin, Andrei Aliseco, the captain of the icebreaker Sielin, is standing in front of the operator's station, expertly setting the path that needs to be sailed today.

As a colonel of the Tsarist Navy, Andrei Aliseco has decades of sailing experience at sea, and now he is proficient in all the warships and sea ships in service in the Tsarist Empire, and is one of the few who has the mission experience of driving an icebreaker to lead the Tsarist expedition to the North Pole, and is the backbone of the Tsarist Navy.

This time, his mission is to pilot the extremely low icebreaker Sielin, lead the elite scientific expedition of the Tsarist State, complete the task of exploring the resources of the Arctic region, and at the same time secretly transport a batch of supplies to the distant EU region without anyone knowing.

Everything went smoothly.

Whether it was the scientific expedition team or the delivery of EU supplies, the icebreaker Sieling did not encounter any problems, and the success was a mess.

But coincidentally, on the way back to the Tsardom by the same route, they encountered an extremely rare polar earthquake!

Although the epicenter of this earthquake is not deep and the tremor is not very felt, it is not wrong to be cautious in this dark ice and snow.

Andrei chose to bypass that area, but it also meant that the course needed to be changed, and according to the established plan, they should have been able to leave the sea at 70 degrees north latitude a few days ago, and now, they may need a few days to leave.

But this little thing did not affect Andrei's mood.

"Hum Hum Hum ~"

Singing a ditty, Andrey adjusted the track to the predetermined track.

Decades of ocean voyages have made André very familiar with the routes in the Arctic Circle, and every iceberg along the way has a name that he has chosen himself.

In the Arctic Circle of the Tsardom, there is a rumor that Andrei's polar icebreaker does not need automatic driving at all, and his manual driving is far more stable than any kind of mechanical automatic driving.

Humming a little song.

Checked the entered route.

After repeatedly confirming that there were no input errors, Andrei Aliseco threw himself into the soft seat and stretched hard, his strong body like a hairy bear suddenly rattling.

"Whew~ It's done, it's very unlucky to meet things, an earthquake in the Arctic Circle is really too rare."

"It's okay, thanks to the radio station, otherwise we might have entered that area of water." Beside Andre, there was also a figure.

He was also tall, full of hair, with short hair standing on his head like a steel needle and muscles pricked.

While observing the radar and the surrounding icebergs, he smiled and said, "I heard that the earthquake in those days seemed to affect an ocean-going fishing boat, which affected many people, and I even saw on TikTok that several people on that ocean-going fishing boat were hospitalized after they went back, and their nerves were all wrong, and they always talked nonsense." ”

"Who cares what they do? On the contrary, my dear first mate, is the radio station installed by the military with millions of dollars every year for you to use to browse TikTok on the Internet? Andre looked at his first mate and spoke.

"Or else? I've got to find something to do in this damn place. ”

"Perhaps." Andre shrugged, unconcerned, looking out the window at the snowfall, he actually took out a delicate silver flask from his arms and poured it up.

"Captain, you know, you can't drink alcohol while you're on a mission." The first mate squinted at him.

André wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and shook the bottle.

"You can't drink alcohol when you're really on a mission. But what does it matter? This is the Arctic Ocean! In this bad season, where else can there be a threat to the Si Yi in addition to a handful of military monsters who can't be identified publicly? ”

"It's snowing outside the window, and it's warm like spring in the cabin, if you don't take a sip of this beautiful scenery, you deserve to be called the captain of the Sirling?"

And just as he said this, the hatch opened.

A stout arm full of hair took the flask in front of Andrei's table, and likewise craned his neck and took several sips.

As soon as I took the first sip, the eyes of this man who was also as strong as a hairy bear lit up!

"It's beluga!"

"Oh! Captain, how do you know what I like best? ”

Rolling his eyes, the first mate snatched the wine jug back from the second mate's hand, and said angrily: "You can't drink alcohol on the boat, don't you know this rule?" ”

"From now on?" The second mate didn't care at all.

"You're here to grab wine and drink?" Andrei asked with a smile in front of the stove.

"Of course not." The second mate sat next to Andre, squeezed the first mate out, and shrugged: "Captain, just now, that group of nervous old men had trouble again, they discussed for a long time and made a decision, wanting to take advantage of the fact that this trip to the polar regions is not over, to go to the unexplored place in the iceberg at 80 degrees north latitude." ”

"They say there are suspected veins of manganese nodules that have not yet been discovered by other countries around the world, and that they are very easy to mine."

"Where are they going?" Andrei's eyes widened, and he jumped up directly from his seat, "We just came back from there!" ”

"Tell them, no way! What bullshit manganese nodule ore. No way! It's outrageous enough to go on an ocean voyage in this season, turn around and go back? mom! ”

"But Captain, they say the Sirin is one of the few polar icebreakers in the world, and there's nothing better to go here." The second pair of openings.

"Fuck the shit and let these old men fuck off!" Andre glared at the two bull's eyes, and was furious: "Go and let them go on their own, my Si Yiling will not accompany them on their adventures!" Tell me about this kind of thing, and you think I'll agree? ”

"Why not? My captain, the old men said, could also apply to the military for a large additional research grant, which would all be used to subsidize the next operation, and they would not take a penny. The second mate shook a finger and continued: "One hundred million rubles." ”

Hearing this, Andre Deng, who was about to be furious, was stunned.

100 million rubles?

He took a deep breath, sat down slowly, straightened his military uniform, and spoke seriously.

"They are all respected old scientists."

"And this time I came out to explore for the rich mineral assets in the Arctic Ocean."

"Go get them."

"I personally set the route for them."

The second first mate gave Andrei a disdainful middle finger.

In the following period of discussion, the atmosphere was exceptionally peaceful, and almost in a few minutes, Andrei and the scientists finalized the corresponding route, and turned around and walked back!

"There is a saying in the East that says well, money can make ghosts grind."

In the warm command cabin, Andrei sighed and carefully adjusted the many routes.

Although this route, he has walked many times, is particularly familiar.

But there are really not many times to turn around and go back to continue the investigation in this season, so you have to cheer up.

The black sea boiled in the distance, and the cold wind howled in the white sky.

Although the surrounding weather was complicated and bitterly cold, nothing could stop this ice monster in the dull hum of the two nuclear reactors.

André piloted the Si Yi Lin, expertly tossing and turning among the icebergs, the sharp collision angles smashing the small icebergs that got in the way into pieces.

In the cold, the huge steel monster is constantly advancing towards its destination.

Nothing seemed too out of the ordinary, everything seemed so smooth.

However, just when Andre thought that this trip would end smoothly as usual, I don't know when a strong wind suddenly blew on the originally stable sea!

"Whew!"

The gale came unusually suddenly, without warning, the gale howled, the angry waves surged, and the black water swept down in the wind and snow!

Watching all this, Andrei frowned, but did not stop.

The Arctic Circle is rarely calm.

Because there are not enough obstacles to block it, once the wind and waves blow, it is like the end of the world, especially when these strong winds are strong enough to start blowing small ice blocks and icebergs floating on the sea, which is the most dangerous.

Hopefully it won't be like that.

Andrei pondered silently.

But sometimes, things often backfire.

This sudden gale lasted for a whole day and a night!

During this period of time, the heavens and the earth seemed to fall, and the violent winds made the already dark sea area more and more blurred, and it was impossible to see what was outside!

"Tell me to go! All sit tight in their cabins! ”

"Fortify everything in the room!"

"Don't move around!"

"Raise the anchor, we need to break out of this piece of snow!"

At Andrei's command, the Sirling moved forward in the wind and snow.

Patches of hard snowflakes hit the hull and deck of the Sirin in the extreme cold of tens of degrees below zero, making a clanging sound.

The strong wind blows on the sea, driving a large area of undercurrents, enveloping the icebergs and impacting the Quartet!

No doubt!

The situation is absolutely dangerous!

Fortunately, Andre and the other crew members are all experienced seafarers and sailors!

With the power of two nuclear reactors, they steer a huge icebreaker and dodge left and right in the dead sea!

"Be careful!"

"The right rudder is full!"

"Full speed ahead!"

"Watch out for the left, watch out for the left!!"

Hard snowflakes hit the steel hull, and in front of nature, this monster-level icebreaker is also shaking frantically from side to side.

In the midst of this violent turbulence, almost all the people on the ship of the Sieling felt a feeling of dizziness.

The black splash of water accompanied by the ice edge lapping on the cabin made everyone's hearts rise to their throats, and this scene of despair lasted for hours before it ended.

By the time the distant storm had dissipated and the sea had returned to its former calm, all the clothes on the Sirin were soaked with sweat, and almost everyone was exhausted, and they felt a kind of joy for the rest of their lives!

"Thank goodness it's out!"

In the cabin, there were all kinds of excited shouts.

Even Andrei wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking back to everything that had happened before, and he was a little afraid.

"Quick! Look at where it is, we should have gone off course! ”

After calming the passengers, Andre turned and spoke in a deep voice.

However, when the first and second officers came back, their faces became a little ugly!

Because they found that they don't know when it began, the satellite wireless connection has been disconnected!

The strong magnetic field makes the originally stable communication channel disordered, and when it is opened, it is full of noise!

"Captain, things are not good, I don't know why the wireless satellite connection failed, we can't connect to the network, we don't know where the Sirling has gone now." The first mate spoke in a deep voice, his face a little ugly.

"I see." Andrei replied, his heart sank: "Don't be nervous, take me to the signal bin to have a look!" ”

The first and second officers nodded.

However, just as they were about to take Andre to watch, a melodious voice came from the window in the distance!

The sound was unusually low, long and long, lasting for almost half a minute!

And the appearance of this voice also made Andre, who had planned to go to the signal warehouse to see what was going on, frown.

This voice. Is it a whale?

Why is there a whale call here?

You must know that whales are room temperature animals, although there are many whales in the Arctic Ocean, but in this kind of violent snowstorm and extremely cold situation, they are generally in the deep ocean current and warm current, how long has the blizzard just ended, why did they appear here?

Andrei and others were puzzled by the appearance of the whale, and the other researchers and soldiers on the Sirin were also a little puzzled.

"Wait!"

"Listen!"

"This voice, it seems. More than just one! ”

One by one, the figures were frightened and hurried to the window, for from the sound of the voice, the whale did not seem to be very far from the Sirling.

However, when they actually came to the window and looked outside, they were stunned!

"What is this!"

"Oh my God!"

"Come and see!"

"What's going on!"

One figure after another looked out in surprise, their pupils constricted to the extreme!

Because at some point, the storms and angry waves between heaven and earth have completely disappeared, and have been replaced by calm seas and floating ice.

There were several whales, smashing the ice floes and the sea in the distance, and jumping high above the ocean!

The sound of the whale is long, and the fish jumps into the sea, this magnificent scene shocked the hearts of countless crew members on the Si Yilin!

But the most shocking thing is not the whales!

It's everything that happens in the air!

I don't know when there were a few more brilliant aurora lights in the distant sky.

At first, these aurora lights were still small and not much attention was noticed, but these aurora lights soon expanded and expanded!

Hanging beneath a black velvety canopy, they are unpredictable, constantly changing in the multicolored streamers, and the edges are the most dazzling pale cyan!

These aurora lights shone brightly, and in a very short time, they suddenly covered the entire sky!

This scene is really shocking!

Brilliant!

The dazzling aurora hangs high in the sky!

It's like the most gorgeous silk covering the sky, which is shocking!

"My. Oh my God."

This scene was so amazing that even Andre and other people who had lived in the Arctic Ocean for decades were stunned and shocked by the magnificent scene in front of them.

Seeing this beautiful scene, almost everyone on the ship was stunned, took out all kinds of equipment, and filmed wildly!

This magnificent scene, known as the Aurora of the Gods, is a magnificent scene that has been rare for hundreds of years, and every appearance will be regarded by the Eskimos as a miracle of a lifetime!

However, in this miraculous aurora, someone keenly sensed that something was wrong!

"Wait! This aurora. Wrong! Why are there only five colors of the aurora in the sky?! ”

In the Tsarist expedition, a keen old man was the first to notice what was going on.

Andrei frowned, looked carefully, and found that the aurora in the sky really only has five colors!

This is a bit strange, although most of the colors of the aurora are cyan and red, but in fact they are light phenomena caused by atmospheric ionization, and they are destined to be seven colors, why are there only five colors?

However, just when Andre was frowning and looking puzzled, a long whale roar that shook the world suddenly resounded throughout the world!

Then, under the watchful eyes of countless figures, a huge bowhead whale with a body size of almost more than 100 meters suddenly stepped out of the water!

This bowhead whale is different from normal bowhead whales, it is actually the purest white from top to bottom, without any flaws!

The huge white bowhead whale jumped above the sea, under the aurora in the sky, bright and dreamy!

"Boom!!"

A huge splash fell, and the pure white bowhead whale screamed and fell into the water, quickly swimming into the distance!

This magnificent scene shocked countless people!

Deep-sea whales, sky hanging aurora aurora

However, even more shocking is yet to come!

'Click! ’

A violent ice-breaking sound came, and huge black shadows appeared under the aurora!

That's a huge whale!

They leap out of the ice, swim in the sea, or spit water!

Each one is huge, almost more than 100 meters long, and all of them are heading into the distance!!

Seeing this scene, almost everyone on the Sirin was stunned and dumbfounded!

What's going on!

How can there be so many whales!

And their size, isn't it a little too abnormal?

How could the bowhead whale from before grow to a length of nearly 100 meters!

The melodious and loud whale song sounded in this extremely cold ocean!

Under the dazzling aurora, hundreds of whales compete for the current!

Seeing this spectacular scene, almost all the people on the Si Yi were a little excited!

"What's going on with these whales?"

"Where did they come from?"

"Quick!"

"Catch up and have a look!"

Looking at the undulating and chirping whales on the sea, even Andre was a little frightened, and without saying a word, he hurriedly operated the Si Yi and quickly chased after it!

And what surprised them a little was that the Si Yilin, which was equipped with two nuclear reaction powers, was still faintly unable to catch up with these whales!

They were so fast that the ice shattered everywhere they went!

That's why the Sirling can keep up with her.

And with their gradual progress, with the gradual passage of time, everyone found that there were more and more whales around, and they were moving closer to this side!

Blue whales, right whales, beluga whales, horn whales, sperm whales, killer whales, and Greenland whales

Countless whales, chirping and cheering, galloped away from all directions, towards the distance!

The more you chase, the more frightened you become!

Because they found that as time progressed, not only the whales and the aurora in the sky, but even the surrounding temperature seemed to have increased to varying degrees!

"What's going on? Why is the temperature rising, but here is getting closer to a higher latitude? ”

"It's incredible, the glaciers on the sea seem to be melting, and even the icebergs are crumbling!"

"What's going on!"

In the magnificent aurora in the sky, the whales are singing, and the warm environment is like spring, which makes many members of the Si Yi Lin dumbfounded!

Suddenly, the whale group stopped.

As if sensing something, they floated quietly above the sea, as if they were worshipping the distance, kowtowing, and making some respectful whimpering.

"What's up ahead?!"

Many of the members of the Si Yi hurriedly turned their gaze to the front!

However, when they saw everything on the sea in the distance, their eyes suddenly straightened!

"Wait!"

"It's."

"What's the situation?!"

"Here. How can there be an island full of plants?! ”
