Plus, the crew members all had good teeth, so no one had any complaints about the food.
"Brother Yang, that guy surnamed Gao said he wanted to chop ice. How do you think we're going to chop ice after dinner?" Fang Youqun asked Xiang Yang while chewing half a side of pickled duck.
"Shut up and eat." Xiang Yang stopped biting the dried beef and glared at Fang Youqun sternly. Then he lowered his head and whispered, "Don't rush to act. Let's first see how others chisel ice and what they do after they break the ice. Once we learn how to do it, we can try it out."
Chen Qingsheng nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Captain."
A group of people had lunch.
Gao Chuang led his men to walk around on the ice, sprinkling a handful of lime on a certain place from time to time, and then continued to walk around in another place.
Xiang Yang did not ask any questions but watched carefully from beginning to end. He did not think that studying would be a waste of time. With a ready-made teacher, watching for a while longer would always save him from taking detours rather than figuring it out on his own.
But some people couldn't sit still.
Yanlong Village is located on the southern coast. A group of sailors from Yanlong Village, when have they ever seen such heavy snow in their lives
After watching for a while, Fang Youqun saw that Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng were too busy to care about him, and he immediately became restless. He quietly called a few crew members and sneaked towards the back. Then, in the middle of the ice floe, where the snow was relatively thick, he rolled up his sleeves and started to make a snowman.
Xiang Yang glanced in the direction of Fang Youqun and saw that they were just making snowmen with their childishness. They didn't go to the dangerous edge of the ice floe or act crazy on the ice floe, so he immediately let them go.
Although Xiang Yang was always watching Gao Chuang, knowing the dangers in Antarctica, Xiang Yang dared not relax his crew for a moment, especially Fang Youqun, for fear that this boy would cause trouble.
“Plop.”
“Plop.”
At this moment, a series of plop sounds were heard from the edge of the ice floe.
"Huh?"
Everyone quickly turned their heads to look at the edge of the ice floe, even Xiang Yang was no exception.
At the edge of the floating ice, penguins suddenly rushed out of the water from the bottom of the sea, and then used the impact force to land on the ice in a very ungraceful posture.
"Oh my god, why are there so many penguins?" Gao Chuang was immediately annoyed. They still had to break ice to catch fish, and with so many penguins here, how could they catch any fish
Xiang Yang also looked at the edge of the ice floe in shock.
The "plop" sound was still heard over there, and there were already dozens of penguins on the ice.
"Did we end up at the penguin's home?" Fang Youqun ran over and exclaimed in shock. No, this guy didn't look shocked at all, he looked surprised, his mouth was so happy that it was almost split open.
Xiang Yang ignored Fang Youqun and was watching the group of penguins carefully.
The group of penguins that had just come ashore also saw the densely packed crew members on the ice. They immediately huddled together and shouted "Ah, oh" and "That's right" to Xiang Yang and the others.
"It's a group of emperor penguins. Mr. Fang, do you want to find a way to drive them under the water? Otherwise, we won't be able to cut the ice or catch fish." At this time, an old crew member carrying a gas tank strode over and said to Gao Chuang.
Gao Chuang was a bit troubled. "What can we use to chase them away? The stupidest penguins are the emperor penguins. They are being hunted by seals but they still line up and look at the seals. If we set them on fire, they will think we are keeping them warm."
Xiang Yang also frowned. Although the puffing sound had stopped at this time, there were hundreds of emperor penguins on the ice. They huddled together, looking at him and others eagerly, and kept making "ah oh" and "hey" sounds in their mouths.
"I remember when I first arrived on this ice floe, I saw an Adélie penguin." Xiang Yang walked to Gao Chuang and reminded him.
If Xiang Yang remembered correctly, these cute emperor penguins were not afraid of anything except Adélie penguins.
Most of the time, neither sea lions nor seals can drive away the emperor penguins.
Only Adélie penguins can drive a large group of emperor penguins off the ice and into the sea like sheep, and then occupy the ice.
Gao Chuang shook his head. "It's useless. The Adélie penguins can only chase away those little guys. These emperor penguins are already adults, and the Adélie penguins can't do anything to them. Besides, where can we find Adélie penguins now?"
"Captain, I'm going." Fang Youqun shouted loudly at this time.
"What are you going to do?" Xiang Yang asked.
"I'm going to catch that Adélie penguin." Fang Youqun shouted.
Xiang Yang shook his head speechlessly, "Instead of going to find that Adélie penguin, you might as well try to find a way to drive these penguins to the bottom of the water."
"Let's try it first." Gao Chuang patted the lime off his gloves, turned around and walked towards the group of emperor penguins.
A group of people followed Gao Chuang.
Seeing so many people rushing over here, the group of emperor penguins immediately became nervous. They huddled together tightly. One of the emperor penguins, which was nearly 1.3 meters tall, stood in the front. It spread its two wings that looked a little funny, blocking the other penguins behind itself, and then stretched out its neck, like a big goose, and kept making "gaoh" and "gaoh" sounds to the crowd.
"Emperor penguins are born without the sense of fear. Of course, they will not attack humans. We will go over and push them into the water. If they climb out again, we will push them down again. Every time one climbs out, we will push it down." Gao Chuang shouted to everyone.
Xiang Yang: “…”
Xiang Yang thought Gao Chuang had some good idea, but it turned out that his idea was so simple and crude.
In Xiang Yang's opinion, this method is not as good as Fang Youqun's suggestion to go find the Adélie penguin.
Walking up to the group of penguins, Gao Chuang stomped his feet suddenly, then roared and made a threatening gesture towards the group of emperor penguins.
A group of emperor penguins, including the leader who spread his wings to protect his companions behind him, all took a step back in unison, tilted their necks, and looked at Gao Chuang nervously.
Then, seeing that Gao Chuang did not make the next move, the group of emperor penguins shouted in unison, "That's right!", and then huddled together and took a step forward in unison. Their movements were very funny and comical.
Gao Chuang waved his hand and said, "Push them down."
Fang Youqun could no longer hold back, he immediately yelled, ran to the group of emperor penguins, and pushed his whole body forward with all his strength.
As a result, the penguins did not move at all. Instead, Fang Youqun was attacked several times by the penguins. If it had not been wearing a thick windbreaker, its flesh might have been pecked off by now.
