"We'll have fish tonight and king crab tomorrow."
At the breakfast table, Xia Yu and Catherine were checking the menu.
"Yes, Master!"
Catherine concealed her surprise and remembered Xia Yu's instructions.
In the morning, the kitchen maid Lina reported to her about the fish in the refrigerator, and the maid patrolling the cabin also discovered something unusual in the aquarium in the bottom cabin. She now finally knew that these were all ingredients made by Xia Yu.
Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing.
This is one of Xia Yu's mottos, and he also acts in this way in life. After all, money is just a skill, and you can only experience the fun of doing many things by yourself.
After breakfast, Xia Yu came to the cockpit. They had crossed the boundary between the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean and officially entered the Arctic Circle.
This time the target is the waters near Alexander Island. After all, it is impossible for a submarine to sink to the bottom of the sea thousands of meters deep. Even if human deep-sea submersibles can dive to this depth, they will not be able to complete the lifting of the submarine.
When burying treasure, one must consider the day when it will be dug out. The target submarine is at a salvageable depth, while the island is land that emerges from the sea level, and the sea area near the island is mostly not very deep.
Xia Yu took out the GPS and looked at it. They were now about a thousand kilometers away from Alexander Island. At the current speed, they could arrive in more than a day. However, the Arctic Ocean was not covered by ice. A section of new ice about 0.5 to 1 meter thick blocked the way 300 kilometers ahead.
Take a detour?
Go ahead!
Isn't the purpose of an icebreaker to break ice, especially if it's just thin ice?
At seven o'clock in the evening, just as the maid brought Xia Yu a dish of steaming pan-fried salmon, the ice floe finally appeared in front of him.
Xia Yu ignored everything and rushed towards the long ice belt at full speed, while still chewing the tender and delicious fish meat.
"Click~click~click~click~click~~"
The special ram at the bow of the Polaris directly cut through the thinnest layer of ice in front. The floating ice cracked meter by meter, and then gradually became thicker and the ram could not cut it anymore. However, the heavy hull continued to move forward, crushing the ice layer, which was about 1 meter thick, inch by inch.
Xia Yu glanced at the dashboard and saw that the ship's speed had dropped to 10 knots, so it would take until tomorrow night to reach the destination.
If the ice gets thicker next January, we might waste more time, but the conditions are still good now.
"Catherine, do you want to go down and play?"
After eating and drinking his fill, Xia Yu pushed the bowl aside and extended an invitation.
In the winter in northern China, people can walk on the river surface if the ice is more than ten to twenty centimeters thick, and cars can drive on it if it is thicker. Now the floating ice that is more than one meter thick is enough for them to run wild.
In addition, even if a crack appears, if you fall into the sea, you will just get home and there is no danger at all.
Catherine was also a brave person. She put on a polar down jacket over her maid outfit and came to the garage on the ship with Xia Yu.
Not only are there snowmobiles parked here, but there are also professional polar exploration vehicles. All of their wheels are tracked and have extremely strong grip, but Xia Yu still chose a motorcycle.
It would be great if there were dog sleds, but if you keep a bunch of huskies on the ship, the aircraft carrier might even sink.
Maybe it would be better in the ice and snow, as the CPU is not overclocked and the IQ is online. After all, they are sled dogs!
"Buzz~~"
Starting the engine, Xia Yu drove his motorcycle out of the cabin, and then used the crane at the stern to lower both the man and the motorcycle down.
With my feet on the solid ice, I felt only peace of mind and excitement in my heart.
Dune bashing and off-roading are not as exciting as ice bashing in the polar regions. Looking at the endless ice surface, Xia Yu heard silent BGM in his ears.
"Snowflakes flutter, the north wind howls, and the world is vast..."
"Buzz~~"
Xia Yu stepped on the accelerator and sped away with Catherine, leaving the wind, snow and cold far behind.
At this moment, the brilliant galaxy in the sky seemed to be covered with a layer of green gauze, changing shape under the "blowing" of the cold wind.
Aurora. This was the second time Xia Yu saw the aurora. The last time he and Xiao Jiang happened to see it in the Maple Leaf Country. This time he was in the Arctic Circle in person. If he was lucky, it would not be impossible for him to be accompanied by the aurora every night.
Thinking of this, his impulse as a photographer to take pictures subsided. There was still a long time to go, so there was no need to rush.
Continuing to drive forward, the two soon arrived at the center of the ice floe. Xia Yu got out of the car and prepared to launch the drone.
Compared to helicopters, drones are more convenient, and Xia Yu is a bit lazy.
The internal customized DJI camera was successfully launched. When the camera could not take clear pictures, it switched to infrared mode. The temperature of the ice surface is colder than the sea water, and a clear difference can be seen in the pictures transmitted back.
This is an irregular group of ice floes that is almost oval in shape. The section they ran through was frozen harder, and the ice floes on the outside were loose, making it easy for people and cars to fall off.
“Beep~beep~beep~~”
The handheld computer suddenly issued a warning, and a red dot automatically locked onto the screen.
Living thing?
Could it be a polar bear?
Polar bears live on ice floes and islands, as well as on the Eurasian and North American continents.
Due to global warming, brown bears have moved northward to expand their territory, and there have been cases of interbreeding with polar bears (preventing harmony). Unfortunately, perhaps because the brown bears' ink is not dark enough, they were unable to give birth to giant pandas.
If it's a black bear, it should be possible?
While Xia Yu was daydreaming, he controlled the drone to fly up. It turned out to be a polar bear, and it was undoubtedly a male bear from its size.
Because it was flying too low, the sound of the drone's rotors alerted the dozing male bear, and it looked up and stared at the uninvited guest in the sky.
