Crazy: you call this a wildlife rescue station

Chapter 96
Far away, the body of a whale was floating on the sea.

The body was bulging, surrounded by a black layer of crude oil.

A few unknown seabirds were standing on the corpse of the whale, pecking at the carrion.

As the fishing boat got closer and closer to the whale carcass, a strong stench filled the air.

"The whale just died a few days ago, and we can still go there. If we wait for the whale's carcass to swell, we will be in danger if we get close."

The boss of the boat stood at the bow and explained.

"Captain, are you talking about a whale explosion? The weather is hot now, and I'm afraid there will be a whale explosion in three or four days."

"Yeah, it's the whale burst." The boss of the boat nodded.

At this time, the audience in the live broadcast room heard the conversation between the boss of the ship and Lin Bei, and they all became interested in the word "whale explosion".

One after another started to launch barrage.

"Anchor, what is Whale Burst??"

"Station Master Lin, why does this whale body swell? Is it sea foam?"

"After the body swells? Why is it dangerous??"

"Ask for science!!!"

"I'm also curious, what does this whale explosion mean? Could it be that the whale carcass will explode?"

"Whale explosion generally refers to the bursting of the dead whale's body due to the accumulation of too much corrupt gas inside."

"Because the whale ate a lot of creatures before it died, these things decayed in the stomach, producing a large amount of gas-like gases, including methane, hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. After the whale died, the faster the internal tissues and organs decayed, the faster the bacteria spread. The faster it is, the body's protein breaks down, producing more gas and increasing the pressure on the abdomen and intestines. If it is not handled properly, it is very likely to explode."

"After the Huaxia Tainan sperm whale explosion in 2004, relevant scholars investigated and researched and said that the part where the whale exploded had been hit by a ship, which directly caused the whale to die on the beach and the part could not withstand the gas produced by internal corruption. The pressure creates an explosion."

"Furthermore, whales are deep-sea animals that need to resist the water pressure in the deep sea. Therefore, there must be enough air pressure in the body to offset part of the pressure. The pressure in the whale's body is constantly rising, and it is often explosive."

"At the same time, if the whale is dissected improperly, it may also cause an explosion. If a large mouth is cut at one time during the dissection, the air will be discharged at one time, and the organs in the body will be ejected at once, and an explosion will occur."

"After the whale exploded, the gas released may stink or even poison people, and the body that was blown to pieces may also cause harm to people."

Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, Lin Bei explained.

"I'm going, let's say, this one, the whale may also explode?"

"Hey, I seem to have seen a video before, it was on the coast, and the whale exploded after it died."

"Hey, after death, can methane gas be produced in the body?"

"This is too scary, it's not like a bomb."

"Hahaha, Station Master Lin, the gas after the whale exploded can stink to death? Is it true?"

"That's naturally true. After a few days of decomposition by bacteria and microorganisms, the internal organs of the whale have turned into rancid pus. Do you think that the smell can not be smelly?"

"However, the body of this dead whale is in the open sea, and generally it will not follow the tide to the shore."

"So we don't need help. Sharks and some marine scavengers will take care of this corpse."

As the fishing boat slowly approached the shore, the boss of the boat waved to everyone in the cabin.

"Captain Gao, you can go to the island now."

"When the fishing boat enters the port, I will come to pick you up in about ten days."

The boss of the boat is a man in his forties, with dark skin, and said with a smile.

Taking the backpack, Lin Bei and the others landed on Huangshi Island.

Huangshi Island is a slightly elliptical ring island, 18 kilometers long from east to west, 11 kilometers wide from north to south, with a perimeter of about 55 kilometers long and an area of ​​about 150 square kilometers (including the lagoon).

There is no fresh water resource on the island, and it is extremely short of water and arid.

The daily water for scientific research workers on the island depends entirely on rainwater and fishing boats.

The port where Lin Bei came ashore is the only port on Huangshi Island.

Responsible for the supply of living materials for dozens of scientific research experts throughout the island.

As soon as Lin Bei went to the island, he found that the air here was filled with a smell of the sea.

Turning his head, he looked around the port. There was no green vegetation on the island, only a few solitary dormitory buildings built of cement and brick.

barren, harsh climate.

This is Lin Bei's first impression of Huangshi Island.

"Captain Gao, this place is too bad."

"As far as I can see, there is not a single tree or grass." Li Haiyang complained on the side.

"Well, it is very difficult. It seems that we will have a difficult life in the future." Gao Hongwei smiled and said.

"Alas! Captain Gao, look over there, how many people are here to pick us up?" the sharp-eyed Lan Xi pointed to a few people wearing straw hats not far away.

"Go, go and have a look!" Gao Hongwei glanced at the few people in the distance, took his luggage and walked over.

"Did you just come to the island? Which of you are Captain Gao of the Yanjing Support Team, and Station Master Lin Bei?" Two young people wearing straw hats shouted from a long distance away.

"I am Gao Hongwei, and this is Lin Bei." Gao Hongwei pointed to Lin Bei beside him and replied.

"That's right, Captain Gao, Station Manager Lin, and everyone, have all worked hard."

"My name is Wang Xiaoer, this is Zhao Xiaolei and we are here to pick you up."

"Captain Gao, our captain is still leading people to rescue sea turtles on the beach of the island. You should go back to the dormitory with us first." Wang Xiaoer explained.

"Okay, let's put our luggage away first and look for your captain." Gao Hongwei nodded, and everyone followed the two to the concrete dormitory building.

"Captain Gao, luckily you are here, we have been on this island for a week."

"The marine life in this sea area has been harmed to varying degrees."

"Just sea turtles and dolphins, we rescued three of them this morning."

"Come on, this is the room where you rest."

"I can't help it, the conditions on the island are really difficult," Wang Xiaoer and Zhao Xiaolei said embarrassedly.

"Well, everyone put down their luggage. Although the conditions are difficult, we are not here to enjoy it."

"Hurry up and clean up your equipment. We'll go to the beach to see the situation in five minutes." Gao Hongwei took out two bottles of Red Bull from his backpack and threw them to Wang Xiaoer and Zhao Xiaolei.

When the two saw that it was a Red Bull, their eyes flashed with joy, and they hurriedly caught it.

"Captain Gao, you, thank you so much, you don't know that this place is very short of water, and red bulls are rare things." Zhao Xiaolei opened the can and took a few gulps.

After everyone in Lin Bei had counted their equipment, Gao Hongwei led them towards the beach of the island.

On the way, Lin Bei set the drone to follow-up mode, allowing the drone's camera to take a panoramic view of the entire island.

"I went to this island like an egg."

"It's really not green at all, it's all reefs and loess."

"Is there a beach over there? There seem to be some coconut trees."

"I also saw people, there seemed to be people on the beach!!"

"My dear, this condition is really a bit difficult."

"This crude oil leaked, and the entire sea surface was polluted."
