Chapter 457: Farce at Sea
He Rui ate breakfast with Yang Jing and Princess on the Blue Whale. When He Rui ate fried dough sticks, small buns, and drank thick soy milk, she was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
In this girl's words, I haven't eaten fried dough sticks and soy milk and Xiaolongbao for almost four months...
There were originally three chefs on the Blue Whale, but these three chefs all made Western food. In Boston, Lin Dan found another Chinese chef and invited the Chinese chef in his forties to the boat for a monthly salary of 20,000 Miko.
Because of the Chinese chef, Yang Jing and Princess don’t have to drink milk, eat fried eggs, bacon, pancakes and other things every morning. This Xuzhou chef named Wang Jianbo can cook Shandong cuisine and Su cuisine, which can be considered to have taken full care of Yang Jing and Princess’ appetites.
When he came to New Alesson this time, Chef Wang Jianbo was very happy to hear that he wanted to cook for his Chinese compatriots at the Yellow River Station. He has been busy with side dishes since yesterday and made some time-consuming dishes and old soups first. He will show his skills when he has a regular meal at noon and evening.
Thanks to the publicity after He Rui returned, the staff of the Yellow River Station knew that a rich man from China came here and wanted to invite his compatriots at the station to have an authentic Chinese meal. So at noon, except for the left-behind staff at the station, all the others came. At night, only three rotating personnel were left at the station, and the rest were all here again.
Yang Jing and Princess also met the Webmaster Li, who was admired by He Rui.
If we say that this webmaster Li has really devoted himself to the Yellow River Station. The old man is already 61 years old and should have retired last year. However, this respectable old webmaster has been staying at the Yellow River Station for another year because a study has not yet ended. It was not until September this year that he will truly return to the field.
This webmaster Li is a real scholar and manager. He is not only the webmaster of Yellow River Station, but also served as the webmaster of Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station in Antarctica. He can be said to be a scholar with extremely rich experience in polar work.
Such people are worthy of admiration no matter where they go.
The crew members on the Blue Whale also knew the rules of New Aleson. If they landed in for a meal, they had to go to the canteen of Wangwan Company. The foods could not be said to be undelicious, but they were far from the food carefully prepared by the chef on the boat. So even the crew members were unwilling to go down to eat.
The luncheon was very good, and the dinner was even more lively and sumptuous. After dinner, the staff at the Yellow River Station even spent several hours in the dance hall on the boat, and then they reluctantly returned to the station.
As for He Rui, after receiving special approval from Stationmaster Li, she lived on the boat that night, and she and Princess had to have a good chat.
This made Yang Jing suffer. The sad Yang Jing was driven out of the room, and in desperation, he had to take the quilt to the cabin to accompany Dabai.
As a result, when he arrived in the cabin, Dabai also had a lot of opinions about Yang Jing.
Whether it was landing in New Alesson or doing other things today, Yang Jing and Princess did not take Dabai. The main reason was that Yang Jing considered that New Alesson was a scientific research base. If Dabai was brought with him, he was worried that the security forces of the base would not be willing, so Yang Jing had to leave Dabai in the cabin.
As a result, Dabai, who had been bored for a whole day, felt so aggrieved. As soon as he saw Yang Jing, he pressed him down. If Yang Jing hadn't had good physique enough, he could have just squeezed out the shit in his stomach.
In the end, Yang Jing lost energy and apologized, and finally made Dabai forgive him.
As Yang Jing continues to input energy, Dabai is now smart and no different from a four or five-year-old child. Think about it, if you lock a four or five-year-old child at home for a day, and wait for you to come home, what the child is like, Dabai is now...
The Blue Whale stopped at the pier in New Aleson for a whole day. After He Rui reluctantly got off the ship the next morning, the Blue Whale left the port again.
However, after leaving the port this time, until the end of this trip, the Blue Whale will no longer be docked by port. In the next period of time, the Blue Whale will head south along the west coast of the Svalbard Islands, reach the Norwegian offshore waters, and then sail along the offshore area at the northern end of the Eurasian continent, cross the southern end of the Barents Sea, enter the Kara Sea through the Kara Strait, continue to sail east along the coastline, and finally arrive at the Nordensserd Islands west of the Temer Peninsula.
The whole journey is about 2,300 nautical miles. If everything is normal, the Blue Whale will take a week to reach the final Rastorguyev Island, which is the former Kolchak Island.
At this time, it was August, and the Arctic Ocean had entered the warmest period of the year. The sea near the coastline had not frozen. The originally floating icebergs would not have completely melted or they would not know where to float. Anyway, the route is almost flat and very safe.
Of course, in this season, the originally peaceful Arctic Ocean routes have become much more lively, and there are gradually more ocean freighters and cruise ships coming and going. Russia is located in many places near the sea within the Arctic Circle, and some scientific research and military bases set up on the Arctic Ocean islands all need to take advantage of this short and warm period to hurry up and resupply.
Not only are there more ships, but there are also many animals on the route. From time to time, whales, right whales, narwhals, Greenland whales, beluga whales, and sperm whales can be seen in the Arctic Ocean this season, and even occasionally huge blue whales can be seen.
On some coastal lands that have already melted, swarms of seals and walruses can often be seen. Of course, occasionally a polar bear can be seen crawling out of the sea to hunt seals.
On the fourth day, when the Blue Whale crossed the Kara Strait, which is only more than 30 kilometers wide, the waterway was very close to the north, which was the island where the former Soviet Union tried to explode the "tsar bomb" Da Ivan, so Yang Jing and Gege also witnessed a comedy with their own eyes.
The comedy is starring in an adult polar bear and a group of lazy walruses.
At that time, Princess was using the high-power telescope on the ship to try to find the explosion point of the Great Ivan explosion that year, but how could she see the explosion point of the year in the Kara Strait? There is still 400 kilometers away from the straight line of the Kara Strait, not to mention that there is Xindi Island blocking it.
But Princess was still happy and saw an adult polar bear hunting walrus farce.
This was indeed a farce. Because of Princess's call, Yang Jing also witnessed this farce with his own eyes.
Although walruses are also among the recipes of polar bears, polar bears rarely hunt walruses. The main reason is that walruses are too big, even larger than polar bears, and they live in groups, and they appear in groups.
Therefore, the mistake is that polar bears are extremely hungry, or polar bears have found lonely walruses or small walruses, otherwise polar bears will generally not hunt walruses easily.
This polar bear was obviously very hungry and went shore from the place where the walruses rested. After all, it was the top predators in the Arctic. Although the walruses were huge, they inevitably became panicked in front of this sudden polar bear.
Walruses are even clumsy than seals on land. If they are seals, they may dive into the sea again at this moment. Once they dive into the sea, then polar bears will basically have no choice.
But these walruses were too clumsy and they could not enter the sea water in a short time. Then the polar bear caught a walrus that was bigger than it.
The polar bear looks really hungry. He will bite the walrus when he catches this walrus, but the walrus is huge. In terms of strength, his strength is no worse than this polar bear. Moreover, the walrus' skin is slippery. Even if the polar bear has long fangs, it will be difficult to cause any harm to the walrus for a while.
When hunting polar bears, they usually kill prey first, and then slowly eat. However, this walrus is big, strong, and has slippery body, making it difficult for the polar bear to kill this walrus for a while.
Yang Jing saw with his own eyes that the poor polar bear bit the walrus several times, but none of them bit out any fatal serious injuries. Instead, under the struggle of the walrus, the polar bear was even offended.
This is fun.
Walruses are not fools either. They are actually quite smart animals. Seeing a ferocious polar bear having no choice to their partners, these walruses were so excited.
This polar bear is probably too hungry. You said that if you hunt walruses, you should at least pick a walrus group with a relatively small number of walruses. If you have to catch this large walrus group with seventy or eighty walruses, what do you mean? If you don’t want to pass, what will happen?
When these walruses saw that the polar bear was not as fierce as they imagined, and they were all energetic.
The walruses, which looked like they were the two-flowered red sticks in the walrus group, stopped running away, and glanced at each other with their own small eyes, and then they all saw what they wanted to express in each other's eyes.
"This stupid bear doesn't seem to be very powerful! Guys, this guy dares to mess with our brothers, we can't let it succeed!"
"Well, right, why don't we mess with him?"
"Fuck him! Anyway, this stupid bear does not look good. Our buddies can probably beat this stupid bear away with one tooth!"
"Bit it!"
An idea was quickly determined during the eyes of the communication, and then these large walruses turned their heads and roared at the walrus herds like cows. Suddenly, the entire walrus group, which was originally a little panicked, erupted.
A large group of walruses stopped running and slowly surrounded the polar bear. The posture was quite like the rhythm of several burly men in the alley in the middle of the night, surrounding a beautiful girl.
The polar bear was quite clever. He turned his head and was startled. Damn, what kind of formation is this? Do these gangsters want to rebel?
The polar bear wanted to suppress it, but it was a bear alone that had to face dozens of walruses that were larger than it. This task seemed to have exceeded the ability of this polar bear. Especially after these malicious walruses rushed up and squeezed the polar bear with their bodies a few times, the polar bear completely withered...
What should I do if I can’t beat it? If I can’t beat it, just run away!
So, a miserable polar bear ran in front, and dozens of clumsy walruses were chasing behind them, chasing them behind...
This scene almost made Yang Jing and Princess laugh...
