The low-hanging clouds obscured the sunlight of the Polar Day Zone, and the cold wind howled, the goose-feather-like heavy snow hitting the windows like grains of ice in the wind.
After they headed to Forgotten Cold River, Shao Zifeng thought Chen Yixing would seek him out to discuss the infection, but she acted as if the incident had never happened.
However, after their departure, the Xuelong, which had been moored in the Ross Sea for a long time, once again embarked on its journey. This floating ice area, like a vast expanse of pure white ice plains, served as the last barrier between the Ross Sea and Antarctica and was one of the riskiest areas on their Antarctic expedition.
Crack!
The sound of continuous breaking echoed through the blizzard, as the Xuelong’s bow, sharp like a blade, slowly cut through the solid ice layer, like a piece of paper being slowly torn.
The Xuelong left behind a long black trail in its wake, which quickly refroze in the low temperatures.
“Captain, my ship has penetrated deep into the Floating Ice Zone, and the thickness of the ice ahead is approaching 1.5 meters.”
Inside the ship’s bridge control room, as reports continuously sounded, the captain who had been pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, stopped, leaned forward with one hand on the second officer’s chair back, and peered at the screen for a while.
“Notify everyone, prepare to fill the fore water tank, preheat the bow propeller, and increase power on the main propeller for ice-breaking!”
“Yes! Beginning to fill the water tank.”
“Liquid ballast ready.”
…
“Bow propeller preheat complete.”
“Propeller initiated, ready to pump the water beneath the ice ahead.”
…
“Main propeller is at maximum power, ready.”
The captain’s orders were completed methodically. He nodded satisfactorily, his eyes intently watching the ice thickness measurements on the screen.
1.43 meters.
1.47 meters.
1.51 meters.
“Begin the charge!”
