After more than two hours of busyness, the last walrus also successfully entered the pool, and Shen Nan, who had counted the number, quickly found Wen Wanwan and reported.

"There are a total of 57 walruses in this collection, of which 11 are cubs, 25 are males, and the rest are adult females, which is 23 less than estimated."

Hearing this answer, Wen Wanwan didn't feel any surprise.

Walruses are also particularly sensitive to changes in the marine environment, and due to large-scale oil and gas exploitation, many walruses have polluted their habitats to the point that they can no longer survive and become extinct, and their distribution areas are gradually shrinking.

This, coupled with the demand for walrus ivory in recent years, has led to the continuous development of the walrus hunting industry, and the tools and methods of hunting have been continuously improved and enhanced.

As a result, walruses have been devastated, and the population has plummeted, from a few million two or three centuries ago to less than about 70,000.

In the last century, thousands of walruses could be seen throughout the Arctic.

But in recent years, populations of more than 100 individuals have become rare, and most of them are only a few dozen.

In some areas, walruses that are supposed to live in groups have to disperse when they rest on the shore due to hunting.

This means that if they want to find a sufficient number of walruses, they will need to walk multiple areas and even be prepared for a period of time.

"Look at it here, I'll go to the captain and study the next itinerary."

Shen Nan looked at Wen Wanwan's body that had already stood up and nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll keep an eye here." ”

With Shen Nan staring at the pool, Wen Wanwan was also a lot more relieved, and walked all the way towards the captain's room.

"Captain!"

"Well, how do we go next?"

Hearing the captain's inquiry, Wen Wanwan drew a nautical chart on the slab and began to study the nearest warm current.

The audience in the live broadcast room looked at the dense arrows on the tablet, and the question marks quickly filled the entire barrage area.

Wen Wanwan turned her head and glanced at it, and explained patiently.

"Walruses are animals that are used to chasing warm currents, especially in this season, and most of them follow the warm currents."

"This also means that we have to find the largest warm current in the Arctic Ocean, and if we catch up, there is a great probability of finding traces of walruses."

While explaining to the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan also drew a route on the nautical chart.

"This route is probably the most abundant food for walruses, so let's follow this road and stop in these areas."

The captain's gaze rested on the tablet for a moment, then synced the data to the ship's console.

"At the current speed, we will be able to reach the predetermined area at about two o'clock in the afternoon."

"Well, over to you!"

Wen Wanwan would never ask much about the voyage of a transport ship, after all, there was no one on this ship who knew how to find a safe route on the sea like the captain of the ship.

The cabin on the first floor was still busy at this time, and after Wen Wanwan turned around, she found that she really didn't have anything to do, and then walked directly into the canteen with the audience in the live broadcast room.

As the only chef on board, even if everyone else is exhausted, it will definitely not make the chef feel uncomfortable.

In the vast sea, whether you can eat a good bite depends on the mood of the cook.

Wen Wanwan went all the way into the kitchen, and the chef was wearing gloves carefully cleaning the sea urchins.

"What's good to eat at noon?"

"What do you want to eat?"

Not long after the transport ship was replenished, there is really no shortage of food on board, and basically everything that can be bought in the vegetable market can be found in cold storage.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten hot pot, or we'll ...... at noon"

"Okay, I remember that there are charcoal and copper pots in the warehouse, find a few more, and I'll deal with the ingredients."

"Okay!"

Hearing that the chef agreed with his idea, Wen Wanwan quickly walked towards the warehouse.

The temperature in the Arctic Ocean is much lower than that of other oceans, and eating a hot pot at this time can not only drive away some of the chill, but also mobilize the enthusiasm of this group of people to work.

Contrary to the imagination of the audience in the live broadcast room, the room called the warehouse is not cluttered at all, but unusually tidy.

The boxes are neatly placed on the shelves, and each box is labeled on the outside.

Wen Wanwan turned around and quickly found the copper pot and charcoal that the chef had mentioned.

Carrying the two boxes on his shoulders and walking towards the cafeteria, Wen Wanwan also gave the audience in the live broadcast room a science about this combination of copper pot and charcoal.

"In the beginning, hot pot was a brazier with a pot on top of it to cook food."

"Later, with the gradual development, this evolved into the various forms that it has now."

"And in this process, this copper pot was born after the hot pot was localized in the capital."

"The middle of the copper pot is empty for burning charcoal, and the outer circle is a place for water and food."

"Because the temperature of the charcoal is high enough, and the heat conductivity of the copper is good, this allows the food inside to cook faster."

explained to the audience in the live broadcast room all the way that Wen Wanwan also returned to the restaurant with two large boxes.

The chef has finished processing the sea urchin, poured the sauce and put it in the refrigerator, the kitchen knife in his hand is flying up and down, and the leg of lamb is neatly placed on the table.

Looking at the red leg of lamb, Wen Wanwan really couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

Northern Black Cat Southern Cute Demon: [It looks so appetizing! 】

The little maid is here: [This large piece of meat, after cooking, must be very refreshing with chili noodles!] 】

Green mandarin Qiqi: [What kind of heresy is the chili noodles, and the oil dish is authentic! ] 】

Wen Wanwan looked at the barrage floating in the live broadcast room, hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice.

"Shouldn't you eat hot pot with sesame sauce?"

The Northeast region was influenced by the Manchu culture of the Qing Dynasty, and most of the dipping sauces for eating hot pot were close to the Beijing area, mainly sesame sauce.

However, many people in the southern region will choose oil dishes, and some of them will use dry ingredients.

This is the same as whether the tofu brain is salty or sweet, whether the moon cake should have salted duck egg filling, and whether to eat steamed buns dipped in vinegar.

Regional and cultural differences can never be balanced for everyone.

The entire live broadcast room was soon divided into several large forces to confront each other because of the choice of dipping sauce, among which a group of people led by Oil Dish had the upper hand in the barrage area.

Although the number of sesame-chan is small, its combat power is strong enough and it barely has a place. (End of chapter)
