Chapter 701 New project requires extra money!
In the huge ice cave about five meters deep, the dark sea water rises and falls, reflecting spots of starlight.
A giant sea beast with a body length of more than 15 meters was swimming in the sea, gently pressing against the belly of another "small beast" that was only half its size, and slowly pushing it to the surface of the sea.
The sea water slowly surged up, like a big bulge, and finally suddenly retreated, revealing the smooth whale's back.
Perhaps because it has survived for too short a time, the little gray whale does not have too many barnacles and abrasions on its body, and its body appears relatively clean.
"puff!"
The pores opened and closed, and with a loud sound like a train whistle, a short, thick column of frost gushed out and showered the ice field.
When a whale surfaces to breathe, it must first expel a large amount of waste gas in its lungs. The expelled gas has a very high pressure, which can spray the seawater close to its nostrils out of the sea surface. This phenomenon is usually called "tide spray" or "water spray", but now it may be more appropriate to call it "ice spray".
Because the air on the sea surface is cooler than the gas in the whale's lungs, the moisture exhaled from the whale's lungs condenses into many small water droplets when it meets the cold air, forming a misty water column. In the low temperatures of the Arctic, this water column directly turns into an icicle and becomes shaved ice before hitting the ground.
The water columns sprayed by various whales have different heights and shapes. The water column of the blue whale can be as high as 9-10 meters.
Hundreds of years ago, primitive whalers discovered the whereabouts of whales based on the water columns on the sea surface, and could even determine the type of whale based on the height and shape of the water columns.
However, Bifang's attention was not on this at all at the moment. The thing entangled on the gray whale's tail just now made him a little suspicious.
Seaweed?
Or something else?
There was a burst of whale calls, and the little gray whale dived into the ocean again, followed by another gray whale floating up, and this cycle repeated over and over again until ten minutes later, when the little gray whale floated up again. This time, Bifang opened his eyes wide and finally saw it clearly.
The reflected light on the ice field is very strong, and many things can be seen very clearly, but it is ultimately not as good as the good vision during the day. Once the colors are similar and there is no obvious shape, many things are easily overlooked. The first few times Bifang didn't notice it at all, but when he concentrated his attention again, he discovered that there was a fishing net wrapped around the tail of the little gray whale!
As the drone focused, the audience could see it clearly.
【Fishing net! 】
What fishing net?
[Didn’t you see just now? There was a fishing net tangled around the tail of that little whale]
[When did it get entangled? Is there anyone fishing in the Arctic? Can we ask them for help? ]
[Didn't you hear what Fang Shen said just now? The gray whale might be passing by during migration. Who knows when it got entangled with it? It could also be that it encountered an ocean fishing boat? ]
The audience held different opinions and shared their views. Some people also made some suggestions on how to save the situation, but basically none of them were reliable.
It is better to expect a sow to climb a tree than to expect netizens to give suggestions.
There is only one thing that is certain, that is, with the appearance of three gray whales, more and more people joined the live broadcast room, wanting to see what was going on.
A gray whale trapped in an ice cave is a very rare sight and should not be missed.
Langya Live also quickly pushed the picture to the cover as the homepage promotion, further attracting viewers.
Who can resist a big whale?
Whale species have more or less a mysterious closeness to humans, from dolphins to blue whales, and even orcas, known as killer whales, will basically not hurt humans.
Although I have been hurt all the time, I am always willing to accept it.
Humans actually have similar feelings towards such big creatures. Almost every little boy has fantasized about looking into the eyes of a blue whale in an aquarium when he was a child, wanting to see its graceful swaying body. However, when they grow up, they find that no aquarium in the world can accommodate a giant whale of such a size, and their dreams have been stranded since then.
"captain!"
On a cruise ship, a sailor standing on the deck held a mobile phone and waved to the captain who had just come down from the captain's room: "Did you watch the live broadcast?"
"Live broadcast?" The captain was stunned for who the sailor in front of him was talking about. He covered his head with his hands because of a headache. "Well, what's wrong? Did something happen to him? He drank some wine last night and just woke up."
The captain is a loyal . Plus, this time he was on his ship, going alone to Greenland, a remote place, to survive for a hundred days, even in the coldest north. Naturally, he still remembers it vividly. He will take time to watch the live broadcast these days.
It's just like what the captain just said, he drank a little last night and had no idea what happened. He thought there was an accident.
"It's Mr. Fang..." The sailor quickly stepped forward, showed his phone to the captain, briefly described what happened, and then suggested, "I think we can go and help Mr. Fang."
Even if it is a cruise ship, it is a cruise ship on the Arctic Ocean, so it naturally has a certain icebreaking capability, not to mention the previous ocean-going modifications, which have even more outstanding capabilities.
Captain Harvis was quite interested. There are not many gray whales, only a few hundred in total. He has been traveling back and forth in the Arctic Ocean for more than ten years. How many times have he seen them?
"But tourists..." Harvis was a little conflicted again. He really wanted to go, but he was no longer the captain of a fishing boat. He was the captain of a cruise ship. There were many tourists on the ship with a fixed route. It was not up to him to decide whether to go or not.
If this had happened ten days ago, Harveys felt there would be no problem, as the tourists on the boat were the same group that came with Bifang.
This guy Bifang has amazing charisma, is good at telling stories, has strong language skills, and looks good. Almost all the men, women, and children on the boat have become friends with him. In the past, they would definitely agree to take a detour for two days to help, but now twenty days have passed, and they are no longer the same group of tourists.
"I think it's fine. Don't you think it's exciting? It's about saving whales!" The second mate who had been listening had an exaggerated expression and danced with joy. "Captain Harvest, you can say it's a new project. I believe most people will agree. Even if not most people, at least a small number of people will agree!"
Harvest didn't understand for a moment: "Why?"
The second mate patted his chest and said confidently, "Because as long as there are people who agree, no matter how many, the rest of the people will also support it for the sake of face."
Harvest paused, then suddenly realized.
Please, who are the people who can get on the boat?
Even if the fishing boats are modified to be cheaper, it is not something that ordinary people can afford. At least they have to be middle class or above, and they are all middle class in Europe and the United States. This green animal protection and rescue mission is simply the right thing to do and we support it the most!
Even if someone is not sincere, I will never object in a public setting like a live broadcast!
"What do you think? If we tell tourists that this is a new project, can we ask them to pay more?"
The second mate was stunned for a moment, then smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Good idea!"
