Chapter 834 The storm is coming

“Woo…”

The closer the Xuelong is to the “Ice Sea” in the north, the lower the temperature, and more and more floating ice floating on the sea.

These ice floes are large or small. The smaller ice floes are only the size of a tabletop and pose no threat to the Xuelong. The large ice floes are like hills with a height of more than 50 meters above the water surface. The scientific research ships have to avoid them carefully. open.

The largest ice floe is too big to see the end at a glance, with an area of ​​at least more than 5 square kilometers, like an island made of ice, and it is extremely magnificent.

In the remaining winter months when the cold is still very strong, the number of floating ice on the sea surface is obviously greater than in summer. If the Xuelong is not equipped with an advanced “underwater magic detection radar”, the floating ice can be found far away, otherwise Crashing into an iceberg will be a high probability event.

Because of this, the speed of the scientific research ship was also greatly reduced, and he did not dare to speed up at a speed of 50 knots or more.

In addition, the sea breeze is even colder.

The cold current from the polar regions makes the average temperature drop to about minus 10 degrees. If it is an ordinary person, even if it is wrapped into a hair ball, as long as they stand on the deck for a while, they will definitely be frozen.

High winds naturally cause rapid waves.

The height of the waves in the icy sea area is more than 30% higher than that in the bay sea area. Standing on the bow and looking around, all you can see is the roaring sea.

In winter, the sea conditions in the icy sea area are so bad that even the Haichao Chamber of Commerce, which owns a large number of all-metal magic merchant ships, will suspend the northern route.

However, the Xuelong broke into this sea without fear.

And, thanks to the awesome “magic fluid engine”, the turbulence of the scientific research ship is not too big.

Dagama and Columbus can even stay in the cabin, enjoying the sweet and sour “Darino hot drink” and the hot “Melanie cake”.

“I personally think that the best agricultural project that the Department of Agriculture under the Department of State Affairs has done is to transplant the ‘Danino rosewood’, which is native to the Glory Mainland, to an island in the Tideland…”

Da Gama picked up the exquisite large porcelain cup and took a sip of “Darino Hot Drink” comfortably, and continued:

“This three-meter-high shrub unexpectedly adapts to the oceanic climate of the Tide Neck. Not only does the’danino black fruit’ grow bigger, but the quality is far superior to the fruit produced on the Glow Continent.”

“After baking and pulverizing the’Danino Black Fruit’, the hot drink produced is extremely fragrant. As long as a small spoonful of white frosting sugar is added, there is no second hot drink in the world that can compare to it…”

“That’s right!”

Columbus nodded his head with deep approval, and used a metal fork to fork a piece of maroon “Melanie Cake”, shook it gently, and said with a smile:

“Hey, this kind of ‘Melanie Cake’ is the best match when drinking ‘Darino Hot Drink’… It makes me think that this is a leisurely vacation, not a dangerous polar expedition…”

After a pause, he turned the subject again.

“It must be admitted that our great lord is a benevolent, generous and just crown, and he will never treat his followers badly.”

Columbus stuffed the soft and delicious cake into his mouth, chewed it a few times, reached out and raised the porcelain cup, and said loudly:

“Then, let our respected lord, wish him, like a blazing sun shining all things, rule this land forever…”

“His lord!”

Dagama followed to a toast and praised sincerely:

“May Lord Lord, like a **** in the starry sky, always hold the supreme authority!”

“Ding!”

The porcelain cups collided, making a crisp sound.

The two smiled at each other and drank a sip of “Darino Hot Drink” at the same time.

At this time, a very penetrating howl faintly entered the cabin.

“Woo…Woo…”

Da Gama was taken aback:

“My Excellency, three fools, wandering on the deck again… I didn’t expect it to become an ice-type supernatural creature, it actually likes the cold weather more and more…”

…

In the eyes of other people, Sansha was just boring, and then ran to let the wind go, by the way, howling ghosts and wolves, vented the depression of being locked in the cabin.

Renault saw something different.

“what!”

He sat upright, and a pen writing “automatically” on the surface of a stack of white paper suddenly stopped.

“This stupid dog can actually absorb the free ice element by doing this? It seems that the efficiency is not low…”

Renault said in surprise.

“When did this tired guy who was too lazy to die became so diligent? In winter, didn’t he like to stay at home and blow the heating?”

“Snoring snoring ”

Adanis, lying lazily on the carpet, snorted a few times and wagged her tail, seeming to say:

“Ben cat is not lazy at all… Ben cat is much more diligent than stupid dog in cultivation…”

Renault smiled and nodded:

“With your current cultivation speed, maybe in another 10 years, I can help you condense the ‘heart of the profound meaning’ and promote you to a creature of the secret rank!”

“Snoring! Snoring! Snoring!”

The Feitian cat sat up with a “swish”, purring rapidly in his mouth, a pair of big cat eyes staring at Renault piercingly, filled with desire, and looked like he could not get promoted right away.

Renault smiled and shook his head:

“No… your level of mana is far from enough, the level of mental strength is even worse, and the soul can’t bear the load of the “heart of uprightness”… You should practice hard, only the most solid foundation, To build the tallest building…”

“Snoring!”

Miss Cat Chef snored heavily, rose directly from the carpet, and quickly floated towards the hatch.

Looking at its posture, it seems that it intends to cultivate now.

“Didi…Didi…”

The magic communicator hung on the bulkhead suddenly made a “didi” sound.

Adanis tilted the cat’s head and flew backwards to the communicator, stroking the communicator with her flexible tail.

Our lady cat chef is so sweet.

A worried voice came out immediately:

“Lord Lord, the high-precision’weather magic sensor’ carried by the Xuelong sensed that an abnormal special magic gathering phenomenon suddenly occurred in the sky…”

After a pause, his voice became extremely serious.

“The current intensity has reached level 4, and it has climbed very fast. We have never seen a situation where it climbs so fast… According to our expectations, this is likely to be a very large storm.”

“Furthermore, the storm will come as soon as 6 hours later, and then gradually reach its peak within 12 hours…”

Renault’s complexion suddenly became solemn and asked:

“According to your forecast, what is the specific scope of the spread?”

A quick answer came from the communicator:

“The enveloping area includes the entire ice sea area, most of the bay sea area, and the northern part of the storm sea area… the tidal territory, as well as the northern coast of the Republic, may also be affected, but they are in the outermost areas and the disaster situation will not be too serious. …”

“In addition, we have checked the nautical chart, and the only nearby islands that are suitable as a safe haven are the’Snow Crown Island’ in the northeast. The other islands are either too small in size or lacking tall mountains to withstand strong winds and huge waves… Currently Xuelong The number is about 660 kilometers away from’Snow Crest Island’, but…”

After a pause, the voice reported another terrible news.

“The sea area between Xuelong and’Snow Crown Island’ is full of ice floes, large and small. The speed of the ship can only be maintained at about 30 knots, and it can’t be increased at all… I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach the storm. Before, arrived at’Snow Crest Island’…”
