Chapter 1338 1338. Ice Fish World (25)

Most of the modern icebreakers are super giant ships. Li Du once knew one. The displacement of the ship was 37,000 tons, the power was 7.35×107 watts, the length was 194 meters, and the width was 32.2 meters!

To drive such a giant ship, at least dozens of professionals are needed.

The icebreaker of the Bolevin family is not such a huge ship. Their family is very capable, but they have not yet reached the national level. The units that can build and afford icebreakers are all owned by the country.

The Hammerhead Shark was transformed from a ramming ship. It was only 20 meters long. The shell of the bow was made of special steel plates at least 10 centimeters thick. Impact resistant alloy steel reinforcement.

In addition to having a steel shell, the Crashing Hammerhead Shark also has a heart with terrifying power. The way it breaks the ice is to hit, push forward with full power, and accelerate forward to slam.

There were crew members on board, but Li Du still chose to use his own people to drive and let them be responsible for maintenance.

Brother Lang sat firmly in the cab, and the icebreaker left the pier and headed north to ride the wind and waves.

"This boat is really good." Li Du patted the side of the boat and smiled, "It's like a lump of iron. To go to the North Pole, you have to take this kind of boat to feel safe."

"The owner of the ship is probably cursing people now." Sophie smiled wryly and shook her head, "Isn't it a little detrimental for us to do so?"

Li Du said: "It's really bad, but what does it have to do with us? This is what that bastard Steve did, haha."

Thinking of Bobby Bolevin's reaction, he couldn't help laughing. This guy must regret provoking Steve and his party. In comparison, Steve and the Ford brothers are the robbers.

The weather is good, the wind is sunny, the temperature in the Arctic is very low, the sea water is very blue, and floating ice blocks can be seen from time to time on the ocean.

When encountering this kind of ice, the hammerhead shark ignored it at all, and directly accelerated and rammed it, mainly relying on the power of the propeller and the bow to split and smash the ice.

But doing so consumes more fuel. Although this ship is not a pure icebreaker, it is still a fuel tiger. After hitting it a few times and getting addicted, if it encounters a large ice block later, Brother Wolf will turn the bow to avoid it.

Entering the Arctic Circle, they entered the territory of the polar day, and it was daytime all day long.

Li Du experienced polar day in the Antarctic, but the North Pole is different. It is also daytime all day long here, but at midnight, the sky will still be darker.

After experiencing the novelty of the first few hours, the rest soon became boring. Driving on the Arctic Ocean is a very boring experience.

Even such a day is a bit torturous. Without sunrise and sunset, people's biological clocks start to get confused. Even if there is a watch to show the time change, people feel different and still feel uncomfortable.

It wasn't until we gradually approached the glacier belt that the scenery became interesting again.

Li Du has seen glaciers and icebergs in Antarctica. The glaciers and icebergs there are completely ice blocks. The North Pole is different. The surface of the glaciers and icebergs here has gray-black floating soil on which some plants grow.

The time he entered the North Pole was very competitive. It was summer, and the North Pole not only entered the warmest time of the year, but also had the most exuberant and luxuriant life of the year.

The South Pole is pure white, and the North Pole has some green.

After entering the glacier belt, the icebreaker shuttles across the sea, just like a ship sailing on the Yellow River and Yangtze River. There is a thick layer of ice on the sea surface, the ice layer is cracked, and the sea water flows through the cracks, like a blue river.

Looking at the route descriptions on the map, the veterans traveled along these ice crevasses.

Icebreakers can't go in, the ice gap is too narrow, small boats can pass through, but this kind of big boats can't pass, if they force it in and get stuck, it's really ineffective every day.

As for breaking through the ice and advancing forcefully? Not to mention that hitting the Hammerhead Shark is just a counterfeit icebreaker without very strong icebreaking capabilities. Even a real icebreaker will have to fight:

The ice floes in the North Pole are so thick that some ice cubes are two or three meters above the water. Li Du thought it was an iceberg, but when he stood on the top of the boat and looked at it, the ice was as flat as a river. Obviously, this was a regular sea of ​​ice!

"Boss, change course or go down?" Brother Lang asked Li Du.

This is in the Arctic, there is no point of reference, and the maps are unreliable because the glaciers are constantly melting and recondensing, and the maps change slightly every year.

If they change course, even though the ship has satellite navigation, it is still easy to get lost.

In addition, judging from the map, the veterans drove their small boats through the ice crevasses. Once they changed their course, they might still not be able to find a suitable route to the 'invisible cemetery'.

Li Du pondered, and at this time Ah Bai, who was squatting on the side of the boat outside and eating peanuts, called out. He waved his finger and pointed to the front of the boat, pointing and screaming.

Several other little guys who huddled together to keep warm ran over to have a look, and then yelled.

Li Du went up to look, and then saw a huge ice floe appearing in front of the boat.

This made him a little puzzled, it was just a piece of ice floe, what was there to pay attention to? Along the way, they encountered a lot of ice floes in the past few days.

He released space-time flying insects to look close to the ice floe, and suddenly realized: there are fish in the ice cube! There are a lot of fish frozen in it!

Silver cod, haddock, and herring are mainly three types of common arctic fish that are frozen. Time and space flying insects shuttled through the ice, and Li Du found another big fish!

This fish is very big, three to four meters long, but it is not a whale or a shark. Judging by its streamlined shape and machete-like tail, it is a precious blue flag tuna!

Along the way, they mainly ate canned meat and dehydrated vegetables, which were the food stored on board, and there was no very fresh food.

There are many deep-sea fish in the Arctic Ocean, and there are no fishing nets on the icebreaker, so they can only use fishing rods occasionally, but it is difficult to catch fish in this situation, so they don't get much fresh fish.

These fish have been sealed in ice for an unknown period of time, but they should not have deteriorated. Li Du looked carefully through special eyes, and these fish even maintained their lifelike appearance and were lifelike.

Knowing what was in the ice, he regained his energy, and said to Brother Wolf: "Crush that ice, and the rest will go down in a boat. There are fish in the ice, fish it up and break the ice to eat fish!"

The horsepower of the hammerhead shark was increased, and as the speed of the oars increased, the strong bow hit the huge ice floe!

"Boom!" With a muffled sound, the front end of the ice cube was smashed, and pieces of ice, large and small, fell into the water.

The icebreaker continued to move forward, savagely crushing and hitting the ice, and ice continued to fall.

What Li Du paid attention to was the blue flag tuna, which he had only heard of but never caught.

Fortunately, the location of the blue flag tuna was relatively deep. As a large ice cube fell into the sea, Li Du got off the boat and took Godzilla to find the big fish.
