portable fish farm

Early the next morning, everyone embarked on a new journey.There are only two-thirds of the crew on the Julong, and the rest are staying at the Great Wall Scientific Research Station to continue their research, and they will be taken back with them when the Julong returns.

Facing the sea covered with thick ice, the Dragon broke through the ice, which greatly shocked Li Yu.Lying on the ground, I wish I could see every iceberg, every white cloud, and every meter of the Dragon's progress.On the railing on the board, Li Yu silently stared at the vast expanse of whiteness in front of him.The cold wind made him feel a little uncomfortable, but it didn't let him go back to the cabin.

There are many people who have the same idea as him, and there are quite a few people lying on the deck against the cold wind. After all, today is the first day that the Dragon began to break the ice.Everyone, either with nostalgia, or with anticipation, or with shock or novelty, all set their eyes on the white glacier.

The Julong has been heading towards the destination of this time—Taishan Station.This is a scientific research station set up by our country in Antarctica.It is also the youngest scientific research station, which can be regarded as the frontier scientific research station of our country in the extreme area of ​​the Antarctic Circle.

The Taishan Station was completed 14 years ago. Under such a harsh environment, it took less than a month for the scientific research station to be completed.It is well-equipped and has a good living environment. It is also the frontier station of Kunlun Station and Zhongshan Station.Afterwards, some personnel will go to Kunlun Station and Zhongshan Station, but here are all short stops.

After starting to break through the ice, the diving collection task stopped.Because there is no way to dive here, except for the place broken by the giant dragon, there is not even a hole in the other glaciers.Going down from the place where the Dragon traveled, maybe by the time you come up, there will be a thick layer of ice again.However, the Dragon itself is still collecting specimens.

In addition to the white, there is only a little blue and sunlight in the sky, and it looks very empty.On the boat, I still feel that I am extremely small, like a speck of dust.

Suddenly, a bright red color attracted everyone's attention. Although it was far away, the red color was particularly eye-catching on the glacier.There was a protruding iceberg, but from the top of the iceberg, a lot of red liquid flowed down, dyeing the iceberg red.And there are some silver-gray, rock-like existences around.

"What's that?" Li Yu curiously asked a scientific examiner next to him.

"It's the Blood Falls. Did you see it? The iceberg over there is actually an active volcano inside, but it's just covered by a thick layer of ice. But these volcanoes are very active, so small-scale magma often erupts. And The vicinity here is also rich in iron, so there is a lot of iron in the magma. And these red waterfalls are actually oxidized iron." The scientific researcher replied.

Because of this red color, it is called the Blood Falls.When it was first discovered, humans were not able to get to the bottom of it, so they thought it was covered by red algae.Some scientists also have the idea of ​​​​exploring why this red algae can survive in such an environment.

However, when humans were able to obtain specimens of the blood waterfall, they were surprised to find that those blood-red substances were nothing but ferric iron.That is to say, it is similar to the rust we usually talk about.Naturally, the fact that this area is rich in iron ions was also confirmed after casual vein detection.It can only be said that it is another magical scene staged by the Great Spontaneous Combustion.

"Covered by ice, can the volcano still erupt?" Li Yu was surprised. It is said that these ice layers must be tens to hundreds of meters thick!Going to the extreme, there is even a 2000-meter-thick ice layer.

"Don't underestimate the power of volcanoes. The power of nature is often too strong for humans to estimate." The man said in a tone of "you are still too young, young man".

"Then since there are a lot of iron ore in this area, why is no one mining it?" Li Yu was curious. Aren't they going to look for minerals?That obviously knows that there are a lot of iron mines nearby, so why no one comes to mine them.Now the competition for ore is said to be very fierce.

"If there is this technology..." If there is this technology, then they will definitely come to mine.Of course, it must not be now, but when the energy is exhausted and there is no way, someone will invest in the development here.

"Oh." Li Yu understood.

The following conditions became more difficult, and the ice layer became thicker and thicker. It can be said that the Dragon is also driving with difficulty.In order to collect more specimens, they developed a new roadmap almost comprehensively again.Li Yu and his diving team also helped to take care of some chores on the boat.

After the Julong sailed for another four days, Li Yu and the others saw an avalanche! The loud noise of "Boom" is more frightening than summer thunder.This made many people who were resting in the cabin couldn't help but come out to check the situation. Could it be that there was thunder and freezing rain in Antarctica?That's right, freezing rain.

At such a temperature, even if it rains from the sky, it will turn into ice cubes during the landing process.This is very harmful to the Dragon, because there have been incidents of tons of ice falling from the sky.It would be a catastrophe even if an icebreaker like the Dragon, which was built very firmly, encountered it.

But it wasn't until everyone saw the situation in the distance that they breathed a sigh of relief.I encountered a super avalanche, but the distance was very far away. It was a mountain range completely covered by ice and snow.Even though the distance is far away, the sound of the "bang" and the way the ice and snow on the top of the mountain are rushing down can still be seen to be extraordinary.

The momentum is magnificent, but every scientific examiner saw such a situation, and did not feel the excitement of seeing the spectacular scenery.On the contrary, everyone feels very uncomfortable, far away from the continent where humans live, but the glaciers here are constantly melting, and these mountains covered by thick ice and snow also have avalanches.The trend of global warming is getting worse, and the pure land of Antarctica may be destroyed faster than scientists predicted.

This situation was also recorded by scientific researchers, and even a small drone was released on the Dragon to take all-round photography.Also measure the temperature and humidity there.Although the avalanche this time did not threaten the Julong, the atmosphere on the Julong also became depressed.

Even penguins, whales and seals have gradually withdrawn from everyone's vision. Except for white and blue, and the golden sun shining, it seems that there are no other colors in this world.Various groups on board also started various discussion meetings, or lectures and seminars.The members of Li Yu's diving team were idle, replacing some of the guards who were left at the Great Wall Station.

Finally, when the red and white "ufo" appeared in front of everyone, it was also the destination of this time—the Taishan scientific research station.The overall design of the Taishan scientific research station follows the widely circulated flying saucer model, which is conducive to widening the field of vision and avoiding wind and other factors.

Because some time ago, the personnel of the Taishan Scientific Research Station conducted a deep-sea sampling below the ice layer of 2000 meters, and miraculously found some special microorganisms in the sea area that was recognized as having no living things.This has caused a sensation in the entire biological world, and the task of this biological group also conducts a comprehensive study of these microorganisms.

These microorganisms are even used to predict whether there will be other organisms under such a deep sea of ​​ice.And, whether these organisms are anaerobic organisms.However, these have little to do with Li Yu and Chang Mingyao.

"It's really boring when you don't have anything to do. Xiao Yu, when you went to sea, were you also so boring for a few days?" Chang Mingyao and Li Yu borrowed two books from the library to read.

"It's okay. Although our ship doesn't have the equipment on the Dragon, we will deliberately find some deserted islands, and occasionally go to the islands to see. Or go diving in the shallow sea area. Life is pretty good Interesting, Master Qu said several times that my boat is not for serious fishing, every time it goes out to play!" Li Yu smiled.

Master Qu really thought of him every time, but every time he saw Li Yu go into the sea, he also gained a lot, so he didn't say anything more.Even when he knew there was a shallow sea, he would take the initiative to ask Li Yu if he wanted to go diving.

"You catch good catches every time you go to sea, so you don't need to work too hard. I think you have to trawl and cast nets all day long, and you probably won't be able to hold them in your fish tank!" Chang Mingyao thought it was okay, Li Yu It's not a bad day to go to sea.

"However, I was wondering if I should invite someone who is good at cooking to cook for everyone. We have a group of big men on board, the food they cook is really... tsk tsk. Every time I go to sea, I feel like eating. That is to survive, the food you eat when you come back is the enjoyment!" Li Zhengxue's cooking skills have been getting better and better over the years.

"In the future, you will spend a long time at sea, and I will ask the people in the kitchen to prepare some food for you to bring."

"Then it will be great if we go to sea in the future!"

Until the return journey, Li Yu and his diving team only disembarked from the Xuelong once, and walked around the Taishan scientific research station.However, the climate here is worse than that of the Great Wall Scientific Research Station, and it is impossible to walk around at will.As for the inside of Taishan Station, they just went in and took a look.

The capacity of Taishan scientific research station is even smaller, and it is mainly used for research on meteorology, space and so on.It is said that the north and south poles are prone to space black holes because of the relationship between the magnetic poles.If there are aliens, these two poles are probably the places they will focus on.

"I'm going back tomorrow!" Li Yu said happily.

These days are really boring, but fortunately, Chang Mingyao has been chatting with him.Sometimes Captain Mu and the others would ask Li Yu to play.But it's like staying at home for nearly a month and not being able to move around.Li Yu felt that his bones were soft, sore, and a little uncomfortable.

Now he really, really wants to swim two laps in the sea, or go diving in the sea for a while, is it uncomfortable?Originally, he wanted to enter the No. 7 fishing ground, but he was afraid that there would be some monitoring or detectors on the Julong.Moreover, there are people coming and going here, if he is discovered, he really can't close the scene, so he has been holding back and not daring.He didn't even dare to open the No. 7 fishing ground on the Julong.

Especially after he went to listen to a lecture on physical space, he was afraid that the instrument would detect the space distortion caused by the opening of his No. 7 fishing ground.You know, there are not only space laboratories on board, but also many advanced instruments in this area.

Although these days were boring, when I really wanted to go back, I was reluctant.Until the Julong set sail for the return journey, Li Yu kept looking at the Taishan scientific research station which was getting farther and farther away.This place, maybe this is the only opportunity in his life, but looking back now, these glaciers and blue sky don't seem so boring.

"Reluctant?" Chang Mingyao asked.

"A bit."

"In the future, you can also participate in Antarctic tour groups. Although you can't come to such an extreme place, you can still see glaciers. You can also see penguins and seals."

"Yes." Li Yu nodded.

It's just that he never expected that the place he thought he would never be able to set foot again, but because of something he did on the way back, he became a frequent visitor here!

When I go back, I will still make a short stop at the Great Wall Station.Like Li Yu, Captain Mu and the others, whose bones have been weakened from staying on the boat these days, invited Li Yu to go diving as soon as they arrived at the Great Wall Station.Chang Mingyao didn't go again this time, but went to the kitchen to boil ginger soup and waited on the shore, preparing to give Li Yu and the others some drinks after they dived.

Unexpectedly, not long after diving, Li Yu met an old acquaintance, um, a seal.The family of four seals that Li Yu fed to the No. 7 fishing ground.The two pups were already able to enter the water, and now they are very clingy to Li Yu.The seals moved very quickly in the water, and several seals were acting coquettish and cute in Li Yu's arms.

Just now the big seal was teaching the baby seals to hunt, perhaps because of the nourishment of the sea water from the No. 7 fishing ground, the two baby seals grew up very strong.Moreover, the family of four seemed to be more spiritual now. They were in the water just now, and as soon as they found Li Yu, they immediately came over.Even Captain Mu and the others ignored it.

The two big seals also surrounded Li Yu and liked Li Yu very much.Of course, it would be even better if Li Yu could feed them some delicious fish and shrimp or drink some magical water.Stared at by four pairs of round, expectant black eyes, Li Yu's heart was about to melt into water.

Li Yu also stretched out his hand to touch them. They were chubby, especially the fat folds on their stomachs, which felt more comfortable to the touch.Captain Mu and the others watched with envy, thinking that Li Yu's relationship with animals is really good.Li Yu even hugged a big seal and asked him to swim in the sea with him.

It is impossible to feed the seals with fish and shrimps, but the sea water in the No. 7 fishing ground can still feed them a little.It is difficult to find this in the sea, and there are a lot of krill in this area. Even if the seals are constantly swallowing something, everyone will think that they are eating krill.

With the cover of these seals, Li Yu also put a little distance between Captain Mu and the others.He secretly got some krill and went to the No. 7 fishing ground, and the seal family also got closer to Li Yu.Seeing Li Yu and the seals playing together over there, Captain Mu and the others ignored them. Instead, they planned to go for a long trip to exercise their muscles.

Playing similarly to the seals, they collected a lot of krill and went to the No. 7 fishing ground. Seeing that Captain Mu and the others came back, Li Yu simply went ashore.The seal family also went ashore, and as soon as the baby seal got on the ice, it started to slide around.Fluttering short limbs, it looks like a fat ball on the ice, which looks very cute.

Occasionally, when he tripped, he rolled his whole body on the ice, and when he stopped, he would look at Li Yu with big innocent eyes.Then he covered his face with his front feet, as if he felt ashamed, that cute appearance looked very cute.

The two big seals also caught a lot of cod and a few octopuses for Li Yu.Set up a row on the ice for Li Yu to take back.

"In the future, you have to pay attention to safety, be good, and come to see you again!" Li Yu knelt down and touched the family of four.

"Are these seals again? Come on, drink some ginger soup. Why did they take so long in the water?" Chang Mingyao came over and handed Li Yu a cup filled with ginger soup.

"I met it just after entering the water. The big seal is teaching the little seal to hunt. Let's keep these octopus and cod. Later, you can make some pan-fried cod to eat? And octopus balls!" It's been a long time since I ate Chang Ming Yao When the food was ready, Li Yu licked his lips.

"Okay." He is already very familiar with the kitchen here at the Great Wall Scientific Research Station, and the people here are willing to let him cook something.

The four seals followed Li Yu and the others for a while, and of course the seals were flopping on the ice.A few seals didn't go back until they saw the Great Wall Scientific Research Station.Originally, the two young ones wanted to run with Li Yu, but they were taken away by the big seal.Under normal circumstances, they are still not very happy to go to crowded places.
