Zhao Xian took out the intercom and issued an order: "Captain Qin, anchor at the island."
Captain Qin replied: "Received."
Captain Qin issued an order: "Start the depth sounder, second mate, assess whether the dynamic draft supports berthing."
Second Officer: “Roger that!”
Captain Qin reported to Zhao Xian again: "Lord, we need to eliminate the risk of running aground before we can dock. We need some time to make a docking plan."
After all, there are actually no islands here. All these places that look like islands are actually mountains submerged by sea water.
Below the sea surface near the mountain peak is the submerged mountain. If a ship sails past it, it is very likely to hit a reef or run aground.
Qiao Xuejun asked the system: "Can it be relied on?"
System: "Don't worry, host. I picked it."
After a while, the captain gave Zhao Xian feedback: "Lord, you can dock!"
Then the captain gave the order: "First mate, prepare to berth, all crew members in position!"
"We are about to enter the waters of the small island on the east side for maneuvering."
"Old track spare car."
"Right twenty, forward three."
The helmsman repeated the order: "Right twenty!"
The chief engineer repeated the order: "Forward three!"
“…”
The captain began to command the ship forward, and the deck crew and engine room crew repeated the captain's instructions. The ship turned its bow and began to move towards the island at full speed.
They were almost at the base, and everyone on the ship was starting to prepare their belongings for disembarking. Now the course had obviously deviated, and some people found it strange, so they walked out of the cabin to the deck and began to wait and see.
As we approached the island, the captain's bell command changed from forward three to forward one, the speed slowed down, and finally both anchors were thrown out and the ship was moored stably.
There is also a thick layer of ice extending from the place where the island meets the sea surface.
Zhao Xian and his men got off the boat first. After landing, they tested whether the ice was solid. After confirmation, he ordered the large ship to lower the ferry to connect with the land under the ice.
Qiao Xuejun stood on the second deck with a bag on his back, waiting for the ferry to be put in place so that he could go ashore and guide the horses onto the boat.
She had just gently shaken the bell in her pocket.
Even though it was so far away, the ice-footed horse in the forest halfway up the mountain seemed to have heard it and began to move slowly down the mountain towards the direction of the boat.
Qiao Xuejun said to the system: "This bell is quite useful."
System: "Of course! I am no longer the same as I was before!"
Qiao Xuejun looked at the horses moving towards this side and thought that this was a great convenience as she didn't have to go to the mountains to look for them.
Because the ship was obviously deviating and had even stopped, many people came out to ask what was going on. Some people even thought that it had reached the base.
Mainly members of the expert group and salvage team, the survivors they brought back are still stuck in the cargo hold and unable to get out.
But when they came out and looked outside, they saw a group of long-haired horses standing on the ice field extending from under the island.
"What is that!" Everyone who came out was surprised.
They all came forward, wanting to see more clearly.
"Like a horse? Like a donkey?"
"Ma? He's too short. He doesn't even look half as tall as the lord."
Some people also came to Qiao Xuejun. Cai Chenlong walked up to Qiao Xuejun and asked curiously, "Teacher Qiao, what is that?"
The others also looked at Qiao Xuejun. They all knew that Qiao Xuejun was an expert teacher in this field.
Qiao Xuejun naturally cooperated: "It's an ice-footed horse. The lord is going down to check the terrain now. If the ice is solid, we can bring the ice-footed horse on board. In the future, we can open an ice-footed horse ranch in our base."
She smiled and expressed her hope to everyone: "If everything goes well and the horses are bred and grown, we will be able to wear horse sweaters, drink horse milk, and even eat horse meat in the future."
Qiao Xuejun’s pie is big and round.
"Really!" Cai Chenlong and the people around him widened their eyes.
Drink milk and eat meat! What a beautiful phrase!
"If we can bring these horses up here, wow, this would be a treasure from heaven."
An Wenli and Shen Xingtang were also among the crowd.
An Wenli was also surprised. The appearance of such creatures in this environment seemed to be something worthy of study. Did they migrate from other places, or were the local creatures mutated?
Shen Xingtang rolled his eyes and asked his system: "Can I use the remaining energy of the favorability item to bring these horses up?"
System: [Calculating... Calculation completed. Host, the remaining energy is only enough to carry one horse.]
One...there seemed to be dozens of horses in that group. What was the point of only being able to control one?
System: [In addition, abnormal energy fluctuations were detected in the herd of horses. It is reasonable to speculate that these horses came from Qiao Xuejun's resource library.]
Shen Xingtang reacted. No wonder there were so many horses in this wilderness, they were Qiao Xuejun's.
Seeing so many people surrounding Qiao Xuejun, Shen Xingtang felt uncomfortable and blurted out, "That's an animal, not a human. I'm afraid it's not easy to bring it up here. And who knows if this kind of thing from the wild has any virus? Can it be eaten?"
An Wenli nodded in agreement, with a worried look between his brows: "Viruses and the like are easy to deal with, they can all be tested. The main problem is that we don't have professionals in this area, so it's not easy to bring this horse on board."
Shen Xingtang: "Yes, Dr. An, you are right. With so many horses, the risk is too great. If we do it blindly, we are afraid that they will be angered and will attack people on the boat."
Shen Xingtang thought that using her favorability item to bring these horses on board would definitely be a great achievement.
After all, this is just a horse, not a person, and her props can play a big role.
She was eager to make a contribution. The high-risk red light on Zhao Xian was really terrifying. If she could make a contribution, she could gain favor and resolve the crisis.
