Happy Tycoon

In the early morning of July in the waters of Newfoundland, the temperature is still relatively low, but today's weather is very good, so Yang Jing and Gege got up early in the morning to enjoy the sunrise on the sea.

The cabin the two of them lived in was the best cabin on the entire ship. Opening the door was a large viewing platform. It was located on the fourth floor of the deck cabin, and it was the second most visible position on the entire ship after the cockpit on the top floor.

When the two of them came out, Chris and the four of them had already quietly stood up. Even on the boat, the four of them still fulfilled their duties.

Two people stood on this platform, looking out of thin air, looking at the sea in the east.

In fact, strictly speaking, the time for the two of them to wake up was not in the early morning, but in the middle of the night. Because it was only half past three when they got up. If this was in the low latitudes of the northern hemisphere, this point would still be pitch black.

It's just that the sea area where they are now is close to fifty degrees north latitude, and the sunrise time is 3:58 in the morning. And when they got up, the sky was already bright.

There is no way, summer in the northern hemisphere is like this, the higher the latitude, the earlier the day will be bright. If the Blue Whale passes through the Arctic Circle and enters the range of the Arctic Circle, then at this time, there will only be a few hours of darkness every day.

After waiting for a while, the sky and sea in the east were rendered orange-red. As time goes by, this color becomes more and more intense. It seems that in an instant, the red sun jumped out from under the sea level, and the dense water vapor rising from the sea made the sun see It is not so round, and the scenery is very spectacular.

Actually, the sun we see now is not the real sun, do you know? Grid tilted her head and asked Yang Jing. Before Yang Jing could answer, she continued, Actually, when we look at the sun at sunrise, It's just a virtual view of the sun formed by the refraction and diffuse reflection of the atmosphere, so the sun looks very virtual and irregular.

Yang Jing put his arms around Ge Ge's waist, and said with a smile: You girl knows a lot.

Hehe, if you have seen the sunrise on the sea many times, you also know this truth. Gege replied playfully.

When she said this, Yang Jing remembered that this girl was born with a golden key in her mouth. She had watched the sunrise on the sea countless times.

However, I still like to watch the sunrise on the sea. Only by watching the sunrise on the sea can I realize the vastness of the world and the greatness of Mother Nature. Gege slapped Yang Jing's face, Husband, thank you for watching the sunrise with me.

Yang Jing's arms couldn't help tightening, and the two of them just leaned against the fence of the viewing platform, watching the diving in the distance and the seagulls soaring in the sky.

Daughter-in-law, do you know that this sea area was once the largest fishing ground in the world? Yang Jing asked, pointing to the vast sea area in front of him.

Newfoundland fishery, I know this, but because of centuries of fishing, especially overfishing in the 1950s and 1960s, this fishery has suffered a catastrophe. Now, the original four largest fishery in the world There are only three left, and the Newfoundland fishing grounds have been completely destroyed.

Yo, you know so clearly? Yang Jing said with a smile.

What's the matter? I've been here for vacation before. Gege's answer made Yang Jing choke, and Gege immediately laughed.

It was during the summer vacation of my freshman year. I came to Canada for vacation, and then came here by boat. I also heard many stories about Newfoundland fishing grounds here.

Yang Jing said with a smile: I haven't been here before, but I also know a lot about Newfoundland. A few years ago, there was an online novel that was very popular on the Internet. The name seems to be Golden Fishing Ground. It’s a story about a Chinese young man with ocean powers living in Newfoundland, which is very well written, and the author is also from my hometown.”

Huh? There is this kind of book? Is it good?

Well, I suggest you take a look at it. It's pretty good. Anyway, I've been chasing that book for a long time.

Okay, I'll read that book when I have time. Grid looked very happy.

But she turned her head and sighed.

What's the matter? It was fine just now, why did you sigh? What made you unhappy? Yang Jing asked curiously.

Gege scratched his forehead, and said with some embarrassment: Actually, it's nothing. I just recalled the seafood dinner in St. John's when I came to Newfoundland for vacation that year. Although the Newfoundland fishing ground has banned fishing for three It has been more than ten years, but St. Johns is the capital of Newfoundland after all, and it is also a coastal city. There are still a lot of excellent seafood in St. Johns every day. It is a pity that we are just passing there this time. If we can go ashore for a meal How good would a seafood dinner be?

Yang Jing poked Gege's face dotingly, and said with a smile: So the little greedy cat is greedy for seafood? That's easy to say. When we pass by St. John's, I'll tell Andre that we can stop the boat and drop anchor. , and then take a Zodiac boat to St. Johns to eat seafood.

Although Yang Jing and the others are on the sea now, the Blue Whale is too big to fish at all. Although there are frozen seafood ingredients in the cabin, where can fresh seafood be delicious for such frozen seafood? So Yang Jing and the others are now in a situation where they guard the sea and have no seafood to eat.

Really? Grid became excited.

What's true about this? When we came out this time, the treasure hunt was just incidentally. The real purpose is to go out for a good vacation. So, whatever you want to eat and play, just do it. Let's rent this boat The boat has been rented, so as long as it does not violate the rules of sailing, we can mention other conditions.

Great, then when we pass by St. Johns, I'm going to St. Johns for seafood.

Regardless of the fact that Halifax and St. Johns belong to Canada and are both cities on the east coast of Canada, the distance between the two is actually more than 500 nautical miles. At the cruising speed of the Blue Whale, it takes It takes at least 36 hours to complete this distance.

But since it has been decided to stay in St. Johns for a seafood feast, this matter has to be communicated with Captain Andre in advance. Although Yang Jing is the employer, he is not arrogant enough to disobey the captain at sea.

Communication went well. After Yang Jing and Gege went back from the viewing platform, they took a restful sleep. After breakfast, they entered the cockpit to communicate with Captain Andre.

Are you going to stop the ship off St. John's, and then go to that city to have a seafood feast? Hearing Yang Jing's request, Captain Andrei Milakinov looked at Yang Jing with a strange expression and asked.

Andre's face made Yang Jing feel thumped involuntarily, but at this time, he could only bite the bullet and nod and say: That's right, my fiancée has been to that city before, so this time Just passing by that city, she wanted to visit that city again, of course, it would be a good thing to have a seafood dinner along the way. After all, St. Johns was the core city of the entire Newfoundland fishing ground back then.

Grid smiled and nodded.

Yang Jing said again: I mean, if our ship can stop for a while, I would like to invite the crew on the ship to go to that city to have fun together. Captain Andre, if you can go, we will be more happy of.

Captain Andre burst into laughter suddenly, and gave Yang Jing a bear hug from the fighting nation, Haha, my dear Albert, I have been waiting for your invitation for a long time. Damn it, we Although this group of people has been floating on the sea all year round, they can't eat fresh seafood. Albert, if you can invite us to have a seafood feast, I think the crew will love you to death.

The crew in the cockpit laughed.

What Andre said is not an exaggeration. They are an ocean-going polar scientific research ship with a full-load displacement of nearly 20,000 tons. At a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, it is not impossible to play sea fishing on this kind of boat, it is extremely difficult.

The most important thing is that the crew members on this kind of scientific research ship are all radishes and pits. Even if they are on duty, the resting crew members will not waste their rest time going fishing in the sea.

After all, the Blue Whale is not an ocean-going fishing vessel, but a vessel similar to an ocean-going cargo ship, so it is really difficult to eat fresh seafood on this ship. The crew on the ship usually eat the ingredients stored in the cold storage, which is similar to what they eat on land, and there are very few fresh seafood.

Okay, then when we arrive at St. John's, I will invite everyone to St. John's for a seafood feast. Yang Jing made a promise.

A day and a half passed quickly. On the afternoon of the third day after going out to sea, the Blue Whale finally arrived at the sea off St. Johns, Newfoundland's largest city.

However, Captain Andre did not let the Blue Whale sail into the pier of St. Johns Bay. St. Johns Bay itself is not big, and the distance from the west end to the east end is only a little more than two kilometers. If a ship as big as the Blue Whale enters the port, don't do anything tonight, just enter the port and play in the port.

It is a very troublesome thing for such a 10,000-ton-class ship to enter and dock at the port, especially in a port with relatively narrow waterways like St. Johns Port, it is almost rare for a 10,000-ton-class ship to enter and call at the port.

Not to mention that there are only two 10,000-ton wharves in the Port of St. Johns, all of which are now berthed by ships, so even if the Blue Whale wants to enter the Port of St. Johns, there is no place to dock.

So Captain Andre simply parked the Blue Whale in the sea about three kilometers away from the exit of St. Johns Bay. After anchoring, except for the necessary crew members who stayed behind, all the others rushed to St. Johns in the assault boat on board.
