Chapter 256: There Are Monsters Under the Water

The iceberg is a piece of ice that is as large as a mountain, separated from the glacier or ice shelf, drifting freely in the ocean, the density of ice is about 917kg/cubic meter, and the density of seawater is about 1025kg/cubic meter, according to Archimedes' law, we can know that about 90% of icebergs are floating freely The volume sinks under the surface of the seawater, so looking at the shape floating on the surface of the water and not guessing the shape of the underwater, this is why there is a tip of the iceberg to describe the serious problem only shows a small part of the surface, the iceberg is very strong, coupled with the low temperature environment of the polar metal The strength of the metal is reduced, it is easy to damage the metal plate, so it is an extreme risk factor in the polar ocean transportation, the mountain formed by freezing; high mountains where the ice does not melt all year round; Glaciers in the polar regions often form huge ice blocks at their mouths, which are broken by the impact of waves and float on the sea, becoming icebergs.

Because icebergs are natural, it's not surprising that they come in a variety of forms, and some can be as big as a piece of land.

If it weren't for the reminder of the expedition team, Luo Chen really wouldn't have been able to find the patterns on it, in this almost sky and water world, seeing these at the first time requires a high degree of insight.

"How far away is that iceberg?" Luo Chen asked eagerly.

The members of the scientific expedition thought that he wanted to take a few more photos, and said with a smile: "It's not far, this iceberg is about half a day's journey from us, but we need to complete the tasks assigned by the above quickly, so we can't waste time to return."

Luo Chen nodded, sat down and began to eat, while the others continued to discuss his photos.

What does the last word in the fourth row mean?

Luo Chen thought about it, and still he didn't understand whether it was a pattern or a text or some kind of code, in short, he couldn't understand it no matter what it was.

He is still in the recovery stage, and he can't rush out alone, anyway, the map of the scientific expedition team members has the coordinates of this iceberg, and since there is it in the map, it means that this iceberg is fixed, or there is a certain travel law, and it should not run.

Before you know it, two days have passed.

Like Antarctica, the vast ice sheet on the land and islands in the Arctic region looks distant and quiet, and seems to represent some kind of eternal stillness, but in fact, due to the weight of the ice and snow itself, the land ice sheet is constantly moving towards the coast, this movement is deep and slow and unstoppable, the average annual movement speed of the inland ice sheet of Greenland is a few meters, and the coastal area can reach 100~200 meters, as for those huge glaciers, the speed of movement is much greater, the so-called glaciers, in fact, are rivers of ice and snow, billions to tens of billions of tons of ice and snow in the valley or lowland where the glaciers run quietly pushingRubbing, moving. Slowly, but unrelentingly, they flowed towards the sea, and finally collapsed into the sea like an earth-shattering collapse, the ice sheet moved, and finally collapsed into the sea to form huge icebergs.

Along the way, in addition to the icebergs, Luo Chen also saw countless Arctic creatures, such as polar bears, Arctic reindeer, Arctic musk oxen, and Arctic golden plovers.

One of them, the Arctic musk ox has only been seen once, and only one, lying alone on the snow, perhaps old, accidentally separated from the group, and can only wait for the iceberg below him to melt, drown, or be eaten by whales.

Speaking of whales, Luo Chen can be described as full of interest, every time he sees it, he will secretly catch it and then ride it on his back to play, of course, this is when all the scientific expedition members are asleep at night.

On the morning of the third day, the research ship finally arrived at its destination, the heart of the Arctic, where the legendary passage to the Earth's core exists.

To Luo Chen's surprise, this is not a large land made of ice that has been circulating on the Internet, but a vast ocean.

Several members of the scientific expedition team went into the water early in the morning, and the rest of the people were in the cabin to receive the data transmitted back and analyze, and everyone was busy, except for Luo Chen.

There is a barbecue grill on the bow of the boat, and an Arctic golden plover is placed on it, and Luo Chen is sprinkling spices, whether it is turning over the golden plover to ensure that it is evenly heated.

"I don't know what it tastes like. Luo Chen muttered, I have eaten pigeons before, but I don't think it tastes very good, I don't know how this golden pigeon tastes.

The golden pigeon's skin was already revealing tempting juice, and Luo Chen picked it up and took a careful bite.

"Well, it's not very tasty. Luo Chen stupidly threw the remaining golden plover into the sea, and a walrus showed its head, took the golden plover in his mouth, and dived into the sea.

", walrus!" Luo Chen's eyes lit up, and with a flick of his hand, the walrus from before flew out of the water and landed on the splint, looking around with a golden plover in his mouth.

Luo Chen walked over with a smile, the walrus felt bad when he saw this, and wanted to climb back into the water, but Luo Chen couldn't let it succeed, grabbed the tail with his hand and forcibly dragged it back, and then grabbed its head, and a kitchen knife appeared in his hand,

After only listening to the sound of brushing twice, the ends of the walrus's two fangs were cut off a little by Luo Chen, and the kitchen knife spun, and repaired the walrus's fangs to ensure that the ends were sharp enough, and kicked it back into the sea with one kick.

Looking at the two teeth on his hand, a smile crossed the corner of Luo Chen's mouth, and he carved it on it with a kitchen knife, and soon, the Q version of the two people's avatars appeared.

"I've known each other for so long, it's time to have a love object. Luo Chen took out a piece of cloth and carefully wrapped it before putting it into the storage ring.

Hearing only a few commotions, Luo Chen turned his head, those who had gone into the water before were now back, but something was wrong.

One person took off the breathing apparatus, hurriedly climbed up, and quickly ran towards the cabin, and the next few people also boarded the boat in succession, and they all followed the man.

Seeing their busy appearance, Luo Chen inadvertently counted them and found that there were two people missing.

When they went down, there were five people, but now only three people have come up.

Could it be that something is going on down there?

Luo Chen put away the barbecue grill and was about to go to the cabin to ask, but everyone ran out, lying on the railing and looking at the water, discussing one after another.

Seeing this, Luo Chen walked over and asked if he needed help.

The person who came up first glanced at Luo Chen gratefully and shook his head: "Thank you, but we can't let you take this risk, you are a guest of the boss's friend, please hurry back to the cabin." ”

Luo Chen wondered, what did he do when he returned to the cabin, couldn't he stay on the deck, and I didn't listen to you in a meeting.

Who knew that the man's face became anxious, and he pushed Luo Chen to the cabin: "Guest, please go back quickly, there are monsters in the water, and two of our companions have been sacrificed, and we are going to return now." ”

"What, monster?" Luo Chen broke free of the man's hand and became serious: "Tell me clearly. ”

Seeing Luo Chen's persistent look, the man sighed: "Since you are a guest of the boss's friend, then you are not outsiders, so I will briefly talk about it." (To be continued.) )
