Chapter 709 Rare Icebreaker Expedition Ship
The whistle of the ship can be transmitted five kilometers away. On the vast and silent ice field, this distance can be further increased. Therefore, before the Tesis officially arrived at the coast, Bi was already driving the sled with Sansha towards the sea. Run to the shore.

The ship approached the ice field, and Bi went to the coast.

This is a two-way rush.

A quarter of an hour later, Bi Fang finally saw the huge cruise ship roaming on the ocean on the stretching coastline. The cruise ship had its lights on and the hull exuded a soft orange light, making the tense atmosphere a little more relaxed.

However, because Bi Fang only provided an approximate location, not accurate to the latitude and longitude, the people on board had not yet discovered the suitable route that Bi Fang had mentioned.

Bi Fang quickly threw the fuel he brought on the ground, and quickly ignited it with the sparks stored in advance to ignite the light.

If it was daytime, Bi Fang could still use musk ox hide to make a flag. The brown musk ox hide would definitely be very eye-catching on the white ice field, but this trick is obviously useless in the Arctic in the eternal night, so it can only be replaced with bonfire.

A small bonfire burns under the starry sky. Although it is not big, it is also very conspicuous.

The crew members holding binoculars on the side noticed a beam of light in the dark night, looked over there, and easily found Bi Fang and his three sled dogs standing on the shore, and immediately raised their heads and shouted at the captain's cabin : "Captain, we found it, ten o'clock direction!"

Harveys walked quickly, raised the binoculars, and quickly locked on the target on the shore. Overjoyed, he immediately issued an order: "Left rudder ten!"

The crew at the helm turned the rudder like a physical reflex without any stagnation, and at the same time repeated: "Ten to the left rudder!"

After a while, the command was completed, and the sailor reported the effect of the execution: "Ten degrees left!"

Harveys nodded silently, and the Taisis, which changed course, rushed straight towards Bi Fang.

Seeing that the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, Harveys gave another order: "Full speed, don't stop, we will hit it directly! Start breaking the ice!"

"Yes! Prepare to break the ice!"

The crew manipulating the signal light quickly raised the signal according to the instructions, and Bi Fang on the coast saw the flickering light.

Bi Fang, who had a certain understanding of signals, instantly understood what Captain Harveys was thinking, which was the meaning of paying attention to avoidance. He quickly pulled the reins, turned the direction of the sled, and ran towards the inland.

After leaving for nearly [-] meters, Bi Fang stopped the sled and watched the Tesis gradually approaching, with anticipation in his eyes.

The eyes of the audience widened. Many of them had never seen an icebreaker, let alone saw an icebreaker break the ice. It was very novel.

Sansha sat in front of Bi Fang, seeing the huge Tesis approaching, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, stood up and barked at the cruise ship, finally it was Bi Fang who squeezed Sansha's nape respectively, and let them Barely settled down, but looking at Goudan's trembling buttocks, he knew that this guy was still very scared.

It seems that he has never seen a boat before, Bi Fang thought to himself.

[The big one is coming, the big one is coming! 】

【Chong rush! 】

[Come on, come on, hit, hit, about to hit]

Under the excited barrage of the water friends, the Tesis did not stop at all, but instead accelerated towards the ice field with full power, and finally, in front of millions of people, the collision of steel and solid ice took place.

"Kow-cha-cha."

Perhaps it was because of the polar night, or the Tesis encountered a blizzard, and the hull was close to thick, so the audience realized that the Tesis was covered with hoarfrost, and the steel hull issued a structural collision unique to giants The sound, the steel sound continuously echoed in the empty cavity, and finally passed to the ice field.

There is no imaginary shock, no exaggerated scenes, just like entering a land without ice.

Without the slightest stagnation, the Tesis hit straight into the ice field, breaking pieces of solid ice like a hot knife cutting into butter.

The ground trembled slightly, and the originally connected ice sheet turned into ice floes again, drifting overseas.

For safety reasons, no tourists on the deck came out to watch, to avoid a sudden tremor during the collision, causing it to fall into the ocean, so only a few sailors were patrolling.

"God, let's go!"

Bi Fang pulled the reins and rode the sled away from the coast again.

The Tesis's ice breaking was a little better than he had imagined, and the distance of 100 meters was not safe, so he needed to retreat a little further.

Goudan, who had already wanted to urinate, ran away and retreated 300 meters away.

The professional icebreakers in the world can be divided into seven levels of icebreaking ability. The first level is the strongest icebreaking ability, and the third level icebreaking standard can continuously break 1.5 meters thick sea ice for 2 years.

Xuelong No. [-] is a third-class icebreaker, and the earlier Xuelong is basically between the fifth and sixth grades. Therefore, the Xuelong can only stay away from the thicker ice layer.

Strictly speaking, there are only two or three of the strongest icebreakers capable of continuously breaking through three meters of ice today, such as the Polar Bear and the "50 Years of Victory" of the Red Age.

Naturally, the Tesis cannot be compared with these monster ships. Even if the transformation is thorough enough to be comparable to a new life, it is only an expedition-class cruise ship, but it is also an icebreaker!

Ice-breaking tourist boats, which are extremely rare!
Many travelers to the Antarctic or the North Pole are very concerned about the icebreaking ability of the ship, and often ask whether they are on an icebreaker.

This actually confuses the voyage of scientific research in the North and South Pole with the voyage of tourism in Antarctica. The voyage of scientific research needs to go to many areas that have not been explored by human beings, so the ability to break ice is very important.

Tourism usually only visits a small area, and many times there is no need for icebreakers at all; as long as the bow is strengthened, the ship with ice resistance will do.

The so-called anti-ice ship is due to the special structure that greatly enhances the ability of the hull to resist glaciers.

Ships need to meet certain requirements, meet certain technical parameters and performance in order to obtain relevant ice class certification, which is divided into ABC class.

In short, the higher the ice resistance level, the deeper the channel covered with ice floes, the more it can travel between the ice floes, and the more it can reach places that other ships cannot reach.

The lower the ice resistance level, the smaller the reach and range of activities.

Therefore, in Antarctica, there are no ice-breaking tourist ships at all, only a few ships exist in the North Pole. Fortunately, Tesis is one of them!

At the time of the transformation, Captain Harveys spent a lot of money, and he lost money for a long time, which made him doubt whether it was worth it.

No one expected that the moment when the Tesis really showed its might would be today.

It has to be said that this is the lucky ship for the gray whales.

As the ice layer continued to crack, the Tesis smashed into the ice sheet like a sharp-nosed hammer, tearing a big gap.
