My Deep-sea Fishery

Xiang Yang and the others don't need to be so troublesome.

If it's really a snowstorm, people only need to hide in the cabin, and then turn on the heating. This is the benefit of advanced science and technology.

Of course, that doesn't mean the blizzard isn't scary.

In Antarctica, the biggest threat to people is not the cold, but the snowstorm that may come at any time.

There is a saying among the Antarctic expedition team: "The cold in Antarctica may not freeze people to death, but the wind in Antarctica can kill people."

Antarctica is known as the "wind pole" of the world, and some people call it "the hometown of blizzards".

The cold Antarctic ice sheet is the breeding ground for storms. It is like a machine that produces cold wind, cooling the air with its ice and snow body every moment, and breeding storms.

Since the Antarctic continent is a plateau with an uplift in the middle and slopes around, once the heavy cold air swoops down along the smooth surface of the Antarctic plateau, there will be strong winds, the sky will be dark, and a terrible polar storm will show its power.

At this time, the snow and ice mixed with sand rolled over from the slippery ice slope, like an invisible waterfall, like a rushing torrent, and people in the storm are like a leaf and a grain of water Shizi, don't even think about standing still.

Many Antarctic expedition members lost their lives when they got stuck in icicles during a snowstorm.

For the safety of the inspectors, the scientific stations of Antarctic countries have strict regulations. It is absolutely forbidden to go out when the wind is strong, and all outdoor activities are not allowed.

Usually when going out, two people must go together in groups, and each person is given a mountaineering bag, which contains high-frequency telephones, food, duck down sleeping bags, sponge pads, shovels and other items to maintain personal survival.

Around the Antarctic scientific research stations in various countries, there are "shelters" of different sizes.

Food, beverages, fuel, communication equipment, small generators, heating stoves, sleeping bags and other daily necessities are provided in the shelter.

Scientists who are investigating abroad will hide in the shelter once they encounter a sudden snowstorm and cannot get back to the station for a while.

It is worth mentioning that the doors of the shelters are not locked, nor are they based on nationality.

As long as you are human, no matter whether you are engaged in scientific research or not, as long as you arrive in Antarctica, you can enter the shelter of any country for board and lodging. All food and drink expenses are free. When you leave, please be polite and leave a thank you letter. Ass go straight away.

In addition, in order to ensure that the investigators will not lose their way, stakes must be laid on the roads between the main buildings of the scientific station and thick ropes must be pulled.

When encountering a blizzard, human beings can only walk with the help of ropes, otherwise they will be blown away by the blizzard.

Therefore, the Antarctic expedition team called these ropes "Antarctic life-saving ropes".

"Mr. Gao, go to the cabin." Xiang Yang said.

Gao Chuang shook his head, "This wind is nothing like a blizzard, I won't go in."

In Antarctica, the wind almost never stops, howling day and night.

Since the Antarctic continent is a plateau that is uplifted in the middle and slopes around, it only needs heavy cold air to swoop down along the smooth surface of the Antarctic plateau, and terrible polar storms will be produced. All those who have been to Antarctica many times know that A little wind and waves are no surprise.

Of course, if the wind really blows, these people are often smarter than anyone else.

However, whether it is Xiang Yang or Gao Chuang, they are praying in their hearts that it is better not to blow strong winds.

If it was an ordinary snowstorm, Xiang Yang and the others would be fine hiding in the cabin.

But if there is a large-scale snowstorm that can destroy houses, tear down communication towers, sweep away vehicles, and even turn a scientific station into ruins, the ship may be completely frozen in Antarctica.

Albatross knows it.

The direction against the wind is more suitable for flying. This is the albatross. This bird can even fly in the eye of a category 12 typhoon.

But when encountering a huge snowstorm in Antarctica, the bird could only bury its head in the pothole and shiver.

In short, anyone who has experienced an Antarctic blizzard knows its seriousness. Regardless of whether there is a warning from the meteorological station, the coming blizzard will bring all kinds of troubles to the work and life of people in Antarctica.

For Antarctic blizzards are always the result of a combination of snow and terrible winds.

Xiang Yang felt that it might be difficult to reflect how terrifying the Antarctic blizzard was, so he decided to use data to speak.

"Mr. Gao, I think it's better to hide in the advanced cabin. What we usually call a typhoon of magnitude 12 has a wind speed of 32.6 meters per second. Is it big enough? But the strong winds in Antarctica often exceed typhoons of magnitude 12. In the Antarctic Peninsula, On Ross Island and the interior of the Antarctic continent, the wind speed often exceeds 55.6 meters per second, and sometimes even reaches 83.3 meters per second! People will definitely be blown away by such winds." Xiang Yang persuaded.

Xiang Yang is not talking alarmistly, the howling wind in Antarctica can really destroy all houses.

"You guys go to the cabin first, don't worry, I have my heart in mind." Gao Chuang said in a deep voice.

Gao Chuang was not in a good mood.

In fact, Gao Chuang understood the horror of the Antarctic snowstorm better than Xiang Yang.

Once, Gao Chuang encountered a blizzard in Antarctica. At that time, Gao Chuang, who was hiding in a cave, watched with his own eyes several meters of ice and a large number of penguins, seals, and various sea fish being blown up by the strong wind, and then smashed heavily. Falling on the ice or water, the feeling is like entering the end of the world.

The blizzard suddenly hit. Gray clouds hung low over the sea, moving, and filling the sky.

It began to snow heavily on the sea.

The whole fleet began to panic, and there were shouts everywhere.

Chen Qingsheng was also desperately maintaining the discipline on the ship. The horn in his hand kept shouting loudly: "Don't panic, everyone, don't panic, don't get close to the side of the ship. From now on, everyone Put down the work at hand, and all hide in the cabin."

Xiang Yang and Gao Chuang looked at each other, but both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Fortunately, it's not a murderous wind, it's just an ordinary snowfall." Gao Chuang said with a smile.

Xiang Yang nodded.

In Antarctica, the snow is really not terrible. If it is not windy, no matter how much snow it snows, it will not have any impact on human beings.

Because the snow in Antarctica is already thick enough, an extra snowfall is nothing more than a little thicker snow.

"Okay, it's all right." Xiang Yang turned his head with a smile, and said to the panicked crew members: "It's just snow, there won't be another gust of wind."

If it is a blizzard, the wind will come from one direction first, and then there will be snow.

Now that the snow has started to fall, but the wind has not come, the blizzard probably won't come again.
