The drone in the sky quickly approached the Tesis, looked down from a high altitude, and watched it plunge into the ice sheet unstoppably. Then it quickly flew low and came to the front of the Tesis, almost stopping there.
At the contact point between the bow and the ice surface, keep the same speed as the ship and move forward together.
From the perspective of the audience, it feels like he has transformed into an unrivaled icebreaker, smashing pieces of ice and moving forward on the ice sheet.
【cool!】
[Lao Fang’s equipment is made of real cowhide, and the picture quality is even better when switching lenses, editing, and shooting, which is even more exciting than in movies]
【plus one】
This is not the first time that the audience has seen Bi Fang's live broadcast and admired it for its exquisite live broadcast, but every time they see it, they still can't help but praise it.
The Tesis, which was speeding from the sea, was moving forward without hesitation. It only slowed down after crashing through hundreds of meters of ice, and stopped completely at 130 meters.
The whistle sounded, making Bifang's ears buzz, and Sansha fell to the ground, whimpering.
After the ship docked, something seemed to have been announced. Gradually, tourists came out of the cabin one after another, but they did not come down. They just came to the railing to look at the ship out of curiosity.
Only a small number of sailors came down from the vertical railing on the side, carefully stepped on the ice, and after confirming that there was no problem, rushed in the direction of Bifang.
"Long time no see!" Captain Harveys took the lead and gave Bifang a bear hug.
Bi Fang responded with a smile: "Long time no see."
After the bear hug, Harveys let go of his hand, pressed Bifang's shoulder and looked carefully: "My God, it's been almost a month, and you haven't changed at all. It's really shocking. Now I feel that even if I stay in the Arctic for a year,
I can’t even help you.”
The sights of the sailors on the side were all focused on Bifang. Except for his hair being longer and a little more stubble on his lips, Bifang's appearance was basically the same as when he first came here, and he was even more energetic.
He looked better, his eyes sparkling.
This state would have been unbelievable if we hadn't watched the live broadcast on the ship. This was the state of living in the Arctic for almost a month.
Bi Fang smiled. As a host, his image still needs to be taken care of. Even he shaves his beard every day. However, the dagger is not convenient, so some green stubble will be left, but it is inconspicuous at first glance.
, clean, and with Bi Fang having a shower, he still maintained his usual freshness.
The two parties exchanged brief greetings for a while and then quickly got into the topic.
Although the whale can persist for a few days with Bi Fang's help and seems to have plenty of time, the sooner the better, to avoid accidents.
Captain Harveys didn't care about the lake at all. That's what they came here to do. He said bluntly: "What are we going to do?"
"The Tesis needs to stay here to continue breaking the ice. Before that, someone needs to walk with me to get familiar with the route. Of course, my survey is not accurate. I just estimated that I found an easy route. If you have a better one,
Alternatively, we can also conduct secondary exploration.”
"The Beauty of the Sun and the Moon"
"Well, let's go with the second officer." Harveys nodded and quickly decided on the candidate.
"Then I will also find some people to help expand the area of the whales' breathing ice cave so that they can persist longer, and dig holes along the line to bring both ends as close as possible at the same time to shorten the rescue time."
There is no doubt that the larger the cave, the easier it is for the whales to move and breathe.
Breaking ice is not as simple as people think. The Tesis is indeed an icebreaker, but its icebreaking ability is actually at the bottom. It is not easy to break through an entire route, and the time is also based on days.
The most important thing is that with the low temperature at this moment, after the Tesis really arrives at the location of the gray whale, the originally dug route will 100% be frozen again.
Therefore, after arriving at the location of the gray whale, the Tesis needs to go back and break the ice twice to actually bring the whales out. This will take a long time, so it is not time for everyone to relax yet.
The real challenge has just begun!
"No problem, the plan is very simple. It's just that we can allow tourists to come over and help so that they have a certain sense of participation." Harveys also took the opportunity to make his request.
After all, the original promise was to participate in a new project. Although it was possible to stay on the ship all the time, the experience was not as good as it was. Harveys still expected these people to help him promote the Tesis on a regular basis.
Bi Fang pondered for a moment, and probably understood what Harveys meant, and finally nodded: "Yes, but they must be informed in advance to pay attention to safety. If they do not have certain outdoor experience, they should watch as much as possible, and do not rely on the ice cave too much."
After all, there are certain risks.”
"Especially the elderly and children should stay at least five meters away from the ice cave. People with any history of heart disease or cerebrovascular disease should not get close."
The ice is very thick, so it's no problem to stand alone or even drive a car. Safety is guaranteed. Many tourist ships also have programs that allow tourists to go ashore and experience ice skiing.
However, digging an ice cave is dangerous. If someone slips and falls into the sea, even if Bifang has sufficient rescue capabilities, various situations cannot be guaranteed.
Who knows if a cerebral infarction will suddenly occur.
"No problem, my sailors will take good care of them." Harveys agreed, leaving the second officer behind and immediately returned to the Tesis.
Not long after, the audience could see a snowmobile put down on the edge of the boat, followed by a second, third...
As expected, the Tesis also had a program for skating ashore, but Bi Fang did not experience it when he came.
Five snowmobiles were put down, filled with tourists and sailors, a total of twenty people, following Bifang, ready to move forward.
The Tesis, which stayed where it was, also started breaking the ice again.
Bi Fang glanced briefly.
The bow shell of this ship uses a steel plate of at least five centimeters thick. The horizontal line is tilted at an angle of 20-35 degrees and is significantly raised. This is to facilitate climbing onto the ice.
The interior of the hull is supported by a dense steel structure, and the waterline part is reinforced with alloy steel. Because it is in an environment of minus 40-50 degrees, the hull shell is made of steel that is more cold-resistant, collision-resistant and corrosion-resistant to ensure that the hull can break ice.
time is not affected.
There are generally three methods of icebreaking by icebreakers, namely continuous, collision and swing. Since the initial ice layer is not thick, the Tesis is currently using the continuous icebreaking method.
The Tesis used the power of the propeller to first climb the hull on the ice, then slap it down and hit it, breaking the ice into pieces, and moved forward bit by bit.
Having satisfied the curiosity of the audience, Bi Fang got on the sled again, shook the reins, and let the frightened Goudan start running again.
"gone."
With the roar of the engine coming from behind and the excited roars of the tourists, twenty people and three dogs quickly set off towards the place where the gray whale was trapped.
