Fortunately, the temperature did not continue to drop. After waiting for another two days, the ice storm finally ended and turned into a windy and snowy day.
The biting wind, carrying heavy snow, whistled and hit the hard metal shell of the mothership, making a low whimpering sound.
Through the thick glass windows of the rescue area, Zhou Shuwan could see a vast white world outside the window, filled with snow and fog, and visibility was extremely low.
At this time, people can already go out.
Captain Chen quickly arranged personnel and began to open a passage to the outside world.
Just like last time, the mothership's deck and cabin exterior were frozen into a layer of ice as hard as stone.
However, with the experience from last time, the ice-breaking work went very quickly and the efficiency was significantly improved.
Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu also returned to the underground base as soon as possible.
The underground passage seemed to have just been opened, and Qi Mingyu was standing at the entrance looking out.
When he saw Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu, even though they were both wearing air-conditioned clothes, he recognized them immediately and hurried over to greet them, frowning slightly: "Why is the snow coming back so heavily? According to past experience, this blizzard will soon die down!"
The wind and snow outside were so strong that the white snow was like goose feathers. When it was blown onto the masked face, it instantly turned into ice chips, greatly affecting the vision.
Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu didn't have time to say anything. They grabbed Qi Mingyu's arm and quickened their pace. When they reached the entrance of the underground passage, they both breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh my god, it's really cold outside!"
Qi Mingyu's face was serious. He pointed to the thermometer beside him. The number on the thermometer was clearly visible: "Minus 70 degrees Celsius."
Zhou Shuwan and Mu Mu looked at each other and fell silent.
After the passage was opened on the mothership, they all knew the temperature outside. As Zhou Shuwan guessed, with the heating on, the temperature in the rescue area had dropped by more than 20 degrees, not to mention the outside.
minus 72 degrees Celsius.
Perhaps because we are at sea, the temperature around the mothership is even lower than here.
Although this ice pellet storm disaster is over, everyone's hearts are heavy. With the temperature at minus 70 degrees Celsius, she knows exactly what this means.
This is not just a drop in temperature, but also a huge challenge to resources and life.
Within two days, shocking news came from the mother ship.
Captain Chen Junbi sent two boats out to sea to fish.
This news was like a bomb, instantly causing an uproar in the base.
In the current situation, breaking the ice alone would take a lot of effort, and success is still uncertain. The mother ship actually wants to send ships out to sea to fish?
Aren’t you afraid that you may never come back?
Not to mention that the water in the sea has frozen into ice, and ships certainly cannot pass through.
Zhou Shuwan has been going to the mothership every day recently to accompany Mu Mu, and he knew the inside story earlier than others.
Mu Mu excitedly lowered his voice and told everyone: "Ever since the last icebreaker was too slow to break the ice, the engineers on the mother ship have been thinking about converting the existing ship into an ice gliding boat. Fishing is secondary, the main purpose is to see what the situation is like outside.
Now that the transformation has been successful, and we've discovered that the sea surrounding the island is frozen, the mothership is preparing to send people out."
"This is the first time we go out to sea after the ice storm. It must be very dangerous!" Zhou Jianghai frowned and said in a low voice, his tone full of worry.
Zhipeng and the others also frowned and were not optimistic about this trip.
Zhou Shuwan originally just listened for fun, and also hoped that they could bring back good news.
Unexpectedly, this matter was related to her.
Early that morning, as soon as she arrived at the rescue area of the mother ship, Adjutant Yun came to invite her, saying that Captain Shang wanted to see her.
Zhou Shuwan arrived at Captain Chen's office, and Captain Shang got straight to the point: "Doctor Zhou, this is the first time the ice skating boat has been out to sea, and we're all worried. Your sense of direction is the best of everyone on the island, so we've discussed it and hope you can come along. In case we get lost along the way, you can lead us back."
Zhou Shuwan was stunned.
Captain Shang continued, his tone much gentler, "This isn't an order, just a request. The final decision is yours. Don't worry, whether you agree or not, it won't affect your treatment on the island or on the mothership, so don't worry about it."
Zhou Shuwan believed in Captain Shang's character.
She nodded slightly and composed herself, "Captain, this matter is of great importance. I need to go back and discuss it with my family. There's one more thing: I'm currently responsible for those blind soldiers. They can't stop their daily acupuncture treatment."
Captain Chen nodded, as if he had expected this. "We've considered this. If you decide to go, we'll send other Chinese medicine practitioners to study with you for a few days and temporarily take over your work."
Zhou Shuwan looked at Captain Chen and listened to his comprehensive arrangements, knowing in his heart that they had already considered this matter thoroughly.
She paused, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go back and think about it."
Returning to the warm underground base, Zhou Shuwan took off his heavy air-conditioned clothes and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zhong Tiyun came forward immediately.
Zhou Shuwan told his family about Captain Shang's request.
Indeed, everyone felt that this outing was extremely dangerous. Apart from other things, the sudden ice pellet storm that occurred halfway through the journey was something that could not be avoided in any way.
Even with such a large tonnage of the mother ship, Captain Chen would have been injured and had to have his limbs amputated, not to mention a small fishing boat going out to fish.
Zhong Tiyun firmly disagreed: "No, I don't agree! It's too dangerous, and we don't lack supplies at home..." She lowered her voice and didn't say the word "supplies". She just looked at Zhou Shuwan seriously: "Wanwan, you must not agree to this! Dahai, what do you say?"
Perhaps because she saw that Zhou Shuwan did not reply to her in time, Zhong Tiyun immediately turned to Zhou Jianghai for an alliance.
Zhou Jianghai did not express his opinion in time, but just frowned and remained silent.
Mu Mu looked around and insisted on following her sister: "Anyway, no matter where my sister goes, I will go there!"
Even if we go out to sea, with him helping us, our survival rate can be increased by half.
Zhou Jianghai scolded him: "Mu Mu, don't make trouble!"
He looked at Zhou Shuwan: "Wanwan, what do you think?"
Zhou Shuwan shook her head slightly: "I haven't thought about it yet." Then she looked at Qi Mingyu: "Brother Xiaoyu, what do you think?"
While everyone was expressing their opinions, Qi Mingyu had been thinking about it. After hearing this, he said, "You can go, but you need to be fully prepared."
Zhou Shuwan had already proved to them that because of her space, she could sense directions far away and would not get lost.
This is her biggest advantage, so no one is worried that they will get lost along the way.
But what they are worried about is how people going out to sea will take shelter when the ice pellet storm comes!
Qi Mingyu had a vague idea.
