Beast Studio

The Dream rushed out of the small cyclone in a state of continuous volatility.

The expert group on board did not relax at all, especially Professor Zhu.

Due to the strong westerly wind, the third cyclone moved much faster than predicted.

He climbed onto the bridge again and discussed with his old partner.

“No, the current wave height is maintained at about three meters, and the limit speed cannot exceed four knots, otherwise it is very likely that the ship will capsize!”

Professor Zhu proposed to increase the speed of the boat to five knots, but was rejected by his old partner.

The two had a heated discussion.

Liu Wei heard the sound and climbed onto the bridge.

“What’s the situation now? How old are you!”

Professor Zhu said: “The speed of the atmospheric cyclone is accelerating. If we follow the original plan, we will not be able to rush out of the westerly zone before it arrives!”

The old driver emphasized again: “Captain, you can’t speed up anymore!”

Both looked at Liu Wei and waited for Liu Wei’s answer.

Liu Wei said: “How far is the atmospheric swirl from us!”

“The fastest speed, it is expected to arrive at noon tomorrow!”

“How long will it take to break out of the westerly zone?” Liu Weiwei looked at the old driver.

“Under normal circumstances, two days!”

Liu Wei realized that the current situation is very unsatisfactory.

In contrast, the threat posed by the following atmospheric swirl is much higher than the danger of increasing the speed.

Liu Wei turned around and asked the old driver, “If the Dream enters the atmosphere, are you sure to rush out?”

The old pilot did not hesitate, and shook his head, “This ship has no ability to resist atmospheric cyclones!”

Professor Zhu added: “The height of the waves raised by this atmospheric cyclone may exceed 15 meters!”

Liu Wei must make a decision.

“Speed ​​up, five knots!”

The old driver looked at Liu Wei anxiously.

Professor Zhu put a hand on his shoulder, “Old man, you are not fighting alone! Relax, we are all on the same front!”

The old driver nodded, turned around to operate the bridge, picked up the walkie-talkie and knew: “The speed is five knots!”

Experts in other rooms instantly became nervous, ready to meet the biggest challenge.

Liu Wei went down to the living area and walked through each bedroom.

The crew members were all lying on the ground so that they would not roll off the bed when the ship was shaking.

Liu Wei calmed the crew’s emotions: “Everyone hold on and you can rush out tomorrow!”

The crew said to Liu Wei with a smile: “Captain, we trust you!”

After the Dream increased speed, the shaking was even more severe.

People can no longer stand.

The old folks of the expert group fought all night under such circumstances.

Professor Zhu is wearing a quilt, leaning against the wall, holding the computer in his hand and staring attentively.

Liu Wei stayed with him all night, and squinted his back against the wall board when it was about to dawn.

“Captain, wake up captain!”

Liu Wei was awakened by Professor Zhu and immediately turned to look at the computer screen.

“Go away!” Professor Zhu exclaimed excitedly.

“What’s gone?” Liu Wei questioned.

“The cyclone is going north!”

Liu Wei rubbed his face twice, “Meaning that the safety hazard is removed?”

“Almost, only part of it is in our direction, but it has no effect on the current speed!”

“I love you to death, Old Zhu!” Liu Wei hugged Professor Zhu.

“Let go, you are strangling me to death!”

Liu Wei got up and picked up the walkie-talkie and said: “The atmosphere will go northward, the danger is lifted!”

Cheers came from the cabin for an instant.

After rushing out of the west wind belt, the Dream began to drive westward towards the Great Wall Station.

Sailing returned to normal and the hull was stable.

The crew ran up the deck wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes, cleaning and watching the floating ice floating on the ocean.

Looking around, all the sea areas in the Antarctic Circle seemed to be frozen.

Large and small ice floes on the sea fluttered with the waves generated by the voyage of the Dream.

“So beautiful!”

“Quickly take a picture of me!”

“We are in the South Pole!”

“You can reach the Great Wall Station tomorrow!”

The crew were very excited.

Liu Wei climbed onto the bridge, picked up the telescope and looked at the ice floes in the distance, and told the pilot to drive the helicopter to explore the way ahead.

The expert group discussed the sailing plan through the images sent by the helicopter.

“Captain, this is the only way to the Great Wall Station. The sea is mainly filled with new summer ice, with a thickness of about 1 to 1.5 meters.”

“The speed is reduced to 1.5 knots and you can break the ice directly!”

Liu Wei nodded and said: “Speed ​​1.5, break ice!”

The Dream sailed towards the drift ice.

All the crew members stood on the splint and watched the moment the Dream hit the glacier.

The sound of the glacier shattering is very harsh.

But the feeling of watching the Dream hit the glacier was really cool.

The Dream moved forward steadily.

The next morning, he arrived at the Antarctic continent.

The observation room issued a danger warning.

“It was discovered that the giant ice tray was moving to the Dream, and the preliminary calculation exceeded 100,000 cubic meters!”

Liu Wei suddenly became nervous.

“Can you switch?”

The old driver looked at Liu Wei and shook his head: “Captain, the surrounding glaciers are moving, moving closer to the Dream, plus the smoothness of the ice itself, it is impossible to complete the turn!”

“Then hit it!” Liu Wei gritted his teeth.

“Understood!” The old driver smiled slightly, he liked this simple and crude method.

There are two main ways for icebreakers to break ice.

According to the hull structure and dynamic analysis of the Dream, the ice layer below 1.5 meters can rely on the propeller to break the ice layer and move forward smoothly.

Just like now.

When encountering thicker ice trays, the common method is to speed up the rush and rely on the weight of the hull to crush the ice tray. However, this method is very inefficient and has a high risk factor.

But there is no other way in case of emergencies.

Watching the moving giant ice tray will block the Dream’s route.

The pilot first backed up a certain distance, then accelerated his voyage and hit it.

咚咚咚咚~

The sound is huge.

The front half of the hull rose two meters in an instant.

The entire hull tilts back.

The pilot is still increasing horsepower, driving the hull against the ice tray.

The sound of the icebreaker crushing the ice continued.

So repeatedly.

“Do you need explosives?” Liu Wei observed.

“No, these are all piled up of broken ice, there is no polar ice hardness, it will break after a few more hits, but it’s a bit slow!”

“Come slowly, it’s been a long time, don’t rush for a while!”

“Don’t worry! Captain, I like the feeling of crushed ice!” The driver smiled.

It took a long time for the Dream to rush out of this giant ice tray.

The Great Wall Bay is within easy reach.

“I saw the penguin!” Liu Wei said with the telescope.

“where is it?”

“Captain, show me quickly!”

“I want to see too!”

“Finally here! I want to cry!”

“mom!”

Several female college students scrambled for the telescope in Liu Wei’s hand.

“Wow! It’s really a penguin!”

“many!”

“Captain, I see the blue glacier, it’s so beautiful!”

Liu Wei picked up the satellite phone: “Call the Great Wall Station, call the Great Wall Station! This is the China Dream Antarctic scientific research ship! It will be docked soon!”

“This is the Great Wall Station. I am Ding Haitao, the head of the Great Wall Station. On behalf of all the members of the Great Wall Station, I welcome the Dream!”
