Han Qi has long been accustomed to the rhythm after going to sea, and returning to the ocean feels like returning home.
No danger has been encountered yet. The waters near the Norwegian Sea are relatively calm. Although the water is a bit cold, there is no broken ice around, and there is no need to worry about running aground. After setting the direction, the ship can sail automatically and the captain does not need to stay.
In the captain's cabin.
If Liang Hong hadn't been severely seasick, everyone would probably be sitting together eating hot pot with a smile at this time.
Han Qi was leaning against the door frame in the cabin near the door, while Zhang Xinyu took care of Liang Hong, who was sitting on the sofa and was seasick.
Han Qi could understand how uncomfortable Liang Hong was. Ever since Han Qi woke up in the morning, she had been sitting here vomiting until now. She hadn't eaten anything on this crucial day and had long since vomited.
We have been out at sea for a day now. We will anchor here tonight and rest for the night. We will enter a storm-prone area tomorrow.
Before that, Liang Hong fell down first.
Han Qi finally spoke: "This won't work. Liang Hong can't enter the sea area in front of him like this. No matter how stable the boat is, it will still shake more than it is now."
Before, he thought that no matter how seasick Liang Hong was, he should be able to get used to it after sitting here from China, right?
She had just boarded the ship yesterday and was fine. After having dinner and sleeping, she looked like a seasick tourist who had been on a cruise for ten and a half days, which made Han Qi wonder how long she had slept.
"I'm sorry, it was me who dragged everyone down."
His voice sounded like that of a seriously ill patient who had been suffering from a long-term illness and had no strength left at all.
Han Qi was about to give some advice. After all, no matter how important the purpose was, no one was important. What if something went wrong if this continued?
Zheng Qiao's voice came from behind.
"Hey, hey, here comes the chicken soup. Brother Han, please be patient and don't get it on you."
Looking back, Zheng Qiao came over carrying a big pot.
When eating and drinking on the ocean, generally speaking, it will not be full, and the kitchen utensils and pots for food are also large to prevent the ship from swinging from side to side and spilling.
Often the whole pot is brought to the table to eat. When the waves are calm, the lid is opened to eat, and then the lid is closed again when the waves are rough. The chicken soup served by Zheng Qiao is no exception. It is a 30-centimeter-high pot.
The pressure cooker's gas valve is still steaming hot.
"It turns out that Zheng Qiao, you have some clever skills. Let's see how this soup goes?"
Zhang Xinyu said to Liang Hong: "It smells good. Eat something. You haven't eaten anything all day. Where will the energy come from if you don't eat?"
Liang Hong shook his head and took out a piece of chocolate.
"How can I just eat this?"
"I really don't want to eat it." After saying this, my stomach was churning again, and I simply kept silent.
Zheng Qiao was obviously very familiar with this. He took out a small fixed stool from under the table, called to Han Qi and said: "Come on, let's have something to eat. It will end no matter what happens tomorrow, or we will end up in the North Pole."
Plant the flag, or go back and have a good sleep."
"We're all here, how can we not go?"
This sentence was actually said by Liang Hong, which made Han Qi a little surprised. Zhang Xinyu should have said it.
Zhang Xinyu scooped up half a spoonful of soup, cooled it and brought it to Liang Hong's mouth. He helped her get up to eat something, and then sat down to eat with Han Qi and the others.
"Your dipping sauce is pretty good too."
"When I'm at home alone and don't want to eat, I just make my own dipping dishes to eat with. I can get some vegetables and eat them all afternoon, but I can't live like this anymore."
"What's wrong?"
"This time when I go back, my family has found a blind date, and I'm going to get married anyway."
Han Qi looked at his face and thought that he was indeed old enough to get married. He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you get married, at least there will be someone to cook for you."
"Anyway, just don't ask me to do it."
Zhang Xinyu listened quietly.
He was rarely so silent, but Liang Hong was lying next to him, and he really wasn't in the mood to talk.
After a while, Liang Hong vomited out everything he had just eaten.
After struggling for a long time, but in the end he did not go back. How could Han Qi know that Zheng Qiao knew that Liang Hong had been able to survive the past few months? Han Qi was shocked. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of perseverance was supporting Liang Hong.
rainbow.
Did she know that Zhang Xinyu would propose to her in the North Pole?
After spending another night on the boat, Han Qi couldn't sleep at night and walked onto the deck alone.
They say that out of ten fat men, nine will shout loudly. This statement is absolutely true.
Although there are many rooms and everyone sleeps separately, the sound insulation of this ship is really not good. You can listen to music clearly through a wall.
Just walked out.
There seemed to be something hidden in the darkness in the distance, something unknown and a bit exciting. Han Qi seemed to be able to see the dark clouds in the distance and the rain curtain, and he was the bird walking through the rain.
Carefully discerning the details in the dark night, Han Qi even forgot the sound of Zhang Xinyu snoring.
The Arctic Ocean is very beautiful at night. Many people are surprised that the ocean becomes so dark at night that nothing can be seen, as if it is a void.
No, maybe some oceans are like this, but it does not include the Arctic Ocean. At night in the Arctic Ocean, there are many algae that absorb the light during the day and swim slowly with the light source, emitting a fluorescent green light.
Han Qi looked back for his SLR and heard the sound of someone walking out of the cabin, stepping on the ladder and holding on to the railing.
Is it Liang Hong?
It must be her, she must be too uncomfortable to sleep, right? Besides, Zhang Xinyu snores quite loudly.
Han Qi and her met in the corridor and nodded to each other.
"You didn't sleep either?"
"I'm a little excited and can't sleep."
Han Qi took the SLR and walked up again. Liang Hong was holding on to the railing on the deck, looking like she was still feeling uncomfortable.
"Doesn't it help if you take motion sickness medicine?"
"It doesn't work. I've tried everything. I still feel faint when I should. In fact, I feel better today. When I first got on the boat, I was so exhausted that I fainted. It scared everyone on the boat.
.”
"Then if that's the case, why do you still want to go to the North Pole?"
This is something Han Qi is very curious about. He came here because he couldn't attend the dinner party for Ingrid's Christmas speech. Anyway, he was watching the TV broadcast. Where can't he watch it? Besides, he also wanted to go to the North Pole for a walk.
Try to see if you can see a live polar bear.
This should be considered a self-driving tour, Han Qi thought.
Self-driving tours are also divided into high-level and low-level. In his opinion, it is very meaningful to drive a yacht to the Arctic Circle and plant the Chinese flag where people from many countries have landed.
"Many people have asked me before. Don't you know? There were seven or eight people on this ship before. After going through all kinds of hardships to reach the Norwegian Sea, everyone left because of an accident."
She sighed.
"Lao Zhang is like this. He will be very stubborn when his temper rises. He can't get back what he has decided. But I do know that every time he makes such a decision, he has considered all the contingencies.
, and I was a surprise that he didn't expect at all."
Liang Hong smiled: "He didn't expect that I was too seasick. At that time, he said that he wouldn't go to the North Pole and would go back. I didn't agree."
Han Qi nodded slightly and said, "I can probably understand."
"Yes, we have been preparing for several years. Lao Zhang went to take the yacht driving license test and looked for a suitable yacht to buy. And I started learning navigation knowledge from scratch, learning drawing, and learning how to call for help. Maybe I am still too weak.
"She shook her head with a smile and held her coat tighter.
"It's not because of your constitution."
Han Qi didn't even look at her. His eyes were looking at the viewfinder of the SLR and he said: "Some people are born with motion sickness and seasickness. This has nothing to do with whether they are strong or not. It just depends on your ability to adapt."
"Then I just don't have the ability to adapt well. However, no matter what, I can't let Lao Zhang give up at this time. This is a travel plan we have prepared for several years. If we hadn't bought the boat when we went to Somalia last time,
Come, we estimate that our first trip will be here, the North Pole.”
Han Qi pressed the shutter button and there was a click.
The photos taken by a SLR at night are different from the naked eye and are much clearer. In the photo, the entire ocean is dyed green, with vast expanse of blue waves, and the bright moon is in the sky above. If you zoom in carefully, you can clearly see the meteorites under the moon.
pit.
Han Qi found the photo and showed it to Liang Hong.
"Give,"
She took it, and the husband was curious, then looked surprised.
Han Qi said proudly: "It's okay. This is the world in my eyes. It's a worthwhile trip to see this scene."
At this time, a whale poked its head out of the ocean twenty meters away, with two-thirds of its body above the water, and then sank face down to the bottom of the sea. With only a tap of its tail, the water came onto the ship.
.
Wow.
The fluorescent green sea water rises high, illuminating the world even brighter, like a magical world.
A dull but somewhat harsh sound sounded.
This is the cry of a whale.
What is he talking about?
Han Qi wanted to know if this was their voice calling for their companions.
At this time, the seawater hit by the whale's tail quickly came to the boat and showered Han Qi all over. Liang Hong's quick eyesight and quick hands wrapped him up... It was just the military coat that Zhang Xinyu wore every day.
After taking a few photos, Han Qi returned to his small room.
Although it was small, it was for one person, which made him very happy when he used to sleep in Datongbu. At least he no longer had to smell the smelly feet of those people.
Thinking about what Liang Hong said before, Han Qi didn't know when he fell asleep.
Occasionally, the cry of whales can still be heard, but the feeling of danger surrounding Han Qi disappeared after Han Qi fell asleep. It is estimated that the whales have also gone away, and fish in the same place will definitely run away if they are constantly being eaten.
Another day passed.
It is now the third day since Han Qi left Norway, and it is also the day when he has crossed the stormy area.
After just a few hours of sailing, Greenland can be seen, and not far away is their destination, Cape Maimi Landing in Greenland.
Over the decades, more than a hundred expedition teams have logged in here, as well as hundreds of travelers who have sailed here alone.
"Tonight, we are going to break the history here. Who said the Chinese can't come? I can do it. We even came from China. We are more powerful than them. You have to believe in this!!"
Zhang Xinyu said very excitedly, and everyone quickly agreed.
There is no problem with Han Qi. He has always believed that he is the best. Isn't this even obvious?
"Okay then, set sail and set sail!"
Han Qi went to untie the sail of the sailboat. The wind was relatively strong now. Going with the wind would save a lot of time.
Zhang Xinyu also walked into the captain's cabin.
He was more nervous than the others, and his palms were slightly sweaty.
He has learned how to sail a yacht so far, and his final exam may be ahead of him.
Although the route has been found and the sailboat has been reinforced in Iceland, he is still not sure about the final result. Did he successfully pass through the storm belt? Or did he get lost in it and wait for rescue.
It's hard to say, everything is unknown.
Han Qi finished fixing the sail, then walked down and entered the captain's cabin.
Zhang Xinyu saw Han Qi coming in.
"Just go into the cabin and wait. Don't worry. No matter what, I have passed the advanced sailing sailing qualification test. The club won't let me pass it without any experience, don't you think?"
"Of course, you don't have to worry about me, I'm just here to learn." Han Qi said.
Han Qi does not have a high-level sailing license, but he has a lot of skills.
He didn't want to put his wealth and life on Zhang Xinyu. Even if Zhang Xinyu drove well and made no mistakes, Han Qi would not dare to sit in the cabin and wait for news from others.
As the boat continued to move forward, the wind became stronger and stronger. Han Qi had no choice but to put in the sails.
The sound of fuel oil was very loud, but gradually, the sound of wind and waves surpassed the sound of the ship.
Zhang Xinyu silently carried everything he had memorized yesterday, opened the map, and drove towards the route he had been asking about for a long time.
But even the safe route he found after many choices was actually very windy and turbulent.
The broadness and flatness of the sea level allowed Han Qi to see very far away. Now, an unknown number of meters away on the right, a group of killer whales were escaping in pairs, and the waves chasing them were two to three meters high.
It's two stories high.
If it were just a wave like this, it would probably only become a paradise for surfers.
But the waves in the storm are irregular. Sometimes they come from the left, and sometimes they come from the right. The combined force is very powerful. The flying seawater forms dense water vapor, which makes every breath of air breathable.
They all have the fishy smell of sea water.
Han Qi looked at the surrounding environment, stood steadily in the captain's cabin, and stared at Zhang Xinyu's operations.
He promised that once Zhang Xinyu dared to try to leave this route, he would immediately take over the driving right.
The yacht is still too light.
It was replaced by an iron-clad fishing boat, just like the one Han Qi took last time. The captain even dared to drive the boat into the most dangerous position in the stormy waves, and then drove out safely. But the yacht could not do it, and the error tolerance rate was very small.
A wave of more than one meter came from the front and side, and Zhang Xinyu turned the bow of the boat to face the wave head-on.
The whole boat seemed to push up and then quickly fall down, as if driving without a seat belt and jumping over a speed bumper at the fastest speed.
The impact of the fall is also completely different.
"Crack!"
Everything that wasn't fastened fell to the ground.
