At the edge of the ice cave, seeing the fishing net on the tail of the little gray whale, Bi Fang came up with an immature plan. Perhaps he could rely on it to successfully gain the trust of the gray whales. At the same time, Captain Harveys also took the initiative.
"New Project" policy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now we have a brand new plan for our cruise ship..."
In the spacious second-floor hall, Captain Harveys took advantage of the largest number of people dining at noon to stand in front of the stage and explained the plan he had discussed with the first mate and second mate. At the same time, he also projected the live broadcast of Bifang at this moment.
projected onto the screen.
Several passengers who knew Bifang let out low voices, apparently recognizing who the person on the big screen was.
"Oh my God, are those whales? Are they trapped?"
"What movie was shown today? Wait, is this a movie? Why doesn't it feel like it?"
"who's that person?"
"Please, why don't you go online? This is a legendary adventurer, but I think he may be in some trouble now."
"Witt, be polite to your elders! Apologize to them!"
"Ah, don't... okay." Under his mother's stern gaze, a little fat man had no choice but to jump out of his seat and apologized with his lips curled up, "I'm sorry, sir."
A woman who had just walked into the restaurant took off her windbreaker and looked at Captain Harveys on the stage with some interest. Except for meeting the captain once when boarding the ship, they rarely met him: "Is this some kind of repertoire?"
"I've never heard of it. It's my first time here. Well, today's fried veal with peas is good. You can try it." A man who arrived first ordered his meal early and gave his recommended dishes.
As more and more people attracted attention, Captain Harveys began to talk about Bi Fang's experience, the current situation of gray whales, and of course, Bi Fang's relationship with the cruise ship.
Captain Harveys' speech skills were not perfect, on the contrary, they were a bit poor. However, with the help of the live broadcast, he still explained things clearly and gave the passengers a general understanding.
In short, a legendary adventurer encountered three trapped gray whales while trying to survive in the Arctic.
"Treading on the Stars"
This is an extremely rare large whale, with only two hundred left. If no action is taken, these three big guys are likely to suffocate to death and eventually die.
But now the Tesis cruise ship is very close to the place where the whales were trapped. It may only take a day or even half a day to arrive. If help is provided, the three whales may be saved.
This distance and time were discussed by Harveys and several other crew members. They are indeed very close to Bifang. After all, Bifang is still a human being. His walking speed on two legs is limited. As long as he goes to the island through him
location, and then calculate based on the direction and distance traveled during the live broadcast, you can get the approximate location of Bifang at this time.
And the Tesis is heading in the direction of Bi Fang!
This is the best part.
The cruise ship cannot work all the time. Every time it returns to the harbor, it has to undergo several days of repairs and replenishment of supplies. After pulling in the first batch of tourists and traveling on the Arctic Ocean, the Tethis happens to be coming from the sea again.
Depart from Svalbard, cross the strait, and arrive near Greenland.
It only takes a slight detour to get directly to Bifang, where we can start to break the ice and open up a waterway.
The polar night has just begun, and there must be weak points on the ice sheet. Taking more detours is not a problem.
"So, the opportunity for the Tethis to save gray whales is now!"
"Of course, we are a cruise ship and have a fixed sailing route, which is why everyone is on board, but this is a rare experience, isn't it?"
"A trip to the Arctic, aurora, glaciers, severe cold, beautiful nights, and spending two more days to rescue three trapped big guys. What a wonderful journey! I think this will definitely stay in our lives.
It’s such a rich and colorful touch that when I grow old, I can sit under the sunset and tell my neighbors about this wonderful experience!”
Captain Harveys has a very emotional voice. Although he is an audience member of Bifang, after all, he is also an "adult" in his fifties. How can he become a fanatic? The reason why he wants to help Bifang is more.
The "legendary" nature of the event itself.
If you can participate in it, your captain's diary may be published directly as a book.
"Okay, I support it! Mom, I want to go!"
The apologetic little fat man was still a little angry just now. After hearing Captain Harvey's suggestion, he immediately jumped up from the stool that was still hot on his buttocks and yelled.
Naturally, there were more than one children on the same boat. The other children who had already mingled with each other during the voyage also shouted. Their parents were a little surprised by their excitement, and they immediately became interested in what Captain Harveys said.
Save the animals!
Or a whale, what a rare experience.
We are taught on daily basis not to litter, to care for small animals, and even donate money, but how can the shock brought by it be as strong as direct rescue?
Isn’t it worth taking your children out to play if you can teach them something?
With the children taking the lead and supporting them, the parents were free to do anything. Just a few families or a dozen people agreed, and they suddenly occupied less than half of the people in the entire hall.
Many of the remaining people looked at each other and were quite moved. Just as Harveys thought, this thing itself is really "too cool", so cool that it's hard to refuse. It's a cruise ship. Come out.
Having fun and saving whales is more fun than all fun.
Someone raised their hand and asked: "Do I need to pay extra if I go out for a few more days than planned?"
Although everyone present is relatively wealthy, they are not so rich that they spend their money carelessly. Although I am a little embarrassed, it is better to ask clearly.
"Of course not. Whether it is additional material consumption or anything else, it will be borne by us. If someone has an urgent matter, you can also tell us in advance and we can help contact other cruise ships without having to pay the difference. We will never waste your precious time.
time."
Harveys said seriously.
The so-called extra money for new projects is just a joke.
It doesn't matter if you get a little money back on the whole thing. With Bifang's live broadcast, the Taysis, which participated in the whale-saving operation, will only become more famous. In the future, you can make more money by raising the ticket price than you do now.
"Then I'm fine."
"Okay, this is cool, Mr. Captain, this trip is definitely worth the money!"
"What are you waiting for? Let's move forward! I can't wait to see the ice fields."
Soon, more and more people expressed their approval. The people who came to the restaurant for lunch accounted for about half of the total tourists, and almost all of them agreed.
Things turned out even better than the second officer imagined.
On the ice sheet, Bi Fang also took off his coat, gritted his teeth and looked at the turbulent sea water.
