The death ray in Antarctica is one of the most unique and unpredictable weather conditions on the planet.
A moment ago, the entire space was white and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
The next moment, all the white light in the sky disappeared.
"Hey, the weather has returned to normal." Fang Youqun said in surprise.
"No, not yet. Look at the sea." Xiang Yang said.
A group of people looked towards the sea in confusion.
"Wow." Fang Youqun exclaimed, "The sea is all pure white."
Xiang Yang took out his phone and filmed the scene while saying, "To be honest, this is also the first time I've seen pure white weather. It's really amazing."
On the sea surface under the side of the ship, there was a vast expanse of white, as white as clouds, but not clouds. It looked like a sea of milk.
"This scene reminds me of Emperor Cumulus," said Fang Youqun.
"Emperor Cumulus?" Xiang Yang asked doubtfully.
“It’s the clouds next to Sky Island in One Piece.” Fang Youqun danced with excitement.
Xiang Yang burst into laughter when he heard this. "So you were talking about cartoons. Yes, that's right. Our current situation is indeed a bit like watching the Emperor of Cumulus on Sky Island."
"One Piece" is a very popular anime.
Sky Island is a very famous island in the comic "One Piece".
In the comics, Sky Island is located high in the sky. It is an island that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. There are many of them, and the air there is thin.
Below the sky island are endless white clouds, which are very similar to the white weather that Xiang Yang and his friends are currently seeing.
"Xiang Yang, Xiang Yang." At this moment, Gao Chuang's voice came from the intercom on Xiang Yang's chest.
Xiang Yang quickly picked up the intercom and said, "I'm here."
"Get ready, we need to move quickly and find a piece of ice that is large enough," said Gao Chuang.
"Now? It's clear weather on the sea now." Xiang Yang said seriously.
"This is your first time in Antarctica. You don't understand."
"White weather is caused by the dispersion of light. The whole sky and earth are white. There will not be a situation where the ocean is white but the white light in the air disappears. Now we are facing this situation. There is no doubt that external forces are interfering with the white weather." Gao Chuang said.
"external force?"
Xiang Yang frowned at first, and then his expression changed immediately, "Boss Gao, are you saying that we might encounter a snowstorm?"
Xiang Yang always keeps his distance from things like blizzards and doesn't want to encounter them.
If there was a snowstorm, it would be a terrible thing.
If they encountered a snowstorm just after passing New Zealand waters, Xiang Yang would still be able to lead the crew through it.
But now Xiang Yang has gone deep into the Antarctic Circle. If he really encounters a blizzard at this moment, it will definitely be a deadly storm.
"It's not certain yet, but there is this possibility. You should ask everyone on your ship to return to the cabin except those who must stay on the deck. At the same time, we must quickly find an iceberg that is large enough to block the wind and snow to avoid the blizzard." Gao Chuang said.
After finishing the call with Gao Chuang, Xiang Yang immediately ordered: "Chen Qingsheng, notify all the crew members on the deck to return to the cabin."
Chen Qingsheng also knew the seriousness of the matter. He nodded heavily and said, "Okay, Captain, I'll go right away."
Under the command of Chen Qingsheng, the crew quickly returned to the cabin and hid.
At this time, pagoda-shaped snow began to fall from the sky.
Xiang Yang stretched out his hand, trying to catch a few snowflakes.
But it was snowing heavily, and the snowflakes hit Xiang Yang's arms or palms and turned directly into broken ice chips, without any of the flowing feeling that snow should have.
"It's really a snowstorm." Xiang Yang said with a grim expression.
"Captain, the wind is blowing. It's a deadly wind. You should hurry to the cabin." Chen Qingsheng shouted loudly.
Xiang Yang nodded, not trying to be brave, "Let's go back to the cabin."
Xiang Yang and Chen Qingsheng went into the luxurious room in the cabin that belonged to Xiang Yang alone.
"Damn it, the weather was fine one second, and the next second it was like the Antarctic death light and the murderous wind." Chen Qingsheng cursed.
The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was huge. Xiang Yang took off his coat, then turned down the heating a little before saying with a smile, "I didn't expect that I would actually encounter a blizzard when I came to Antarctica this time."
Chen Qingsheng said with a sad face: "Captain, there is a blizzard outside, how can you still laugh?"
Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Why, should I cry?"
Chen Qingsheng said speechlessly: "Aren't you worried at all?"
Xiang Yang raised his head and looked out the window.
The cabin glass was hit by snow and sand, and the sound was louder than falling hail, just like someone was shooting sand at the glass with a slingshot.
There was no obvious shaking of the hull. This was a large ocean-going fishing vessel that was said to be able to sail in typhoon weather.
It seems that even the deadly wind unique to Antarctica cannot overturn a thousand-ton ship.
"There's nothing to worry about. As long as you hide in the cabin, you won't get hurt." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Captain, you are too optimistic. Don't you know..."
Chen Qingsheng was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xiang Yang, "Okay, of course I know, but now that the snowstorm has arrived, fear won't solve any problems. Our first priority now is to stabilize the crew. We must not show fear in front of the crew."
Chen Qingsheng was stunned at first, but then he immediately reacted, "Captain, don't worry, I will definitely not show fear in front of the crew. Now we are talking behind closed doors."
Xiang Yang nodded, then looked out the window with a slightly sad look in his eyes.
The Antarctic blizzard cannot overturn a thousand-ton ship, but it can trap it.
Not to mention civilian fishing boats, if the blizzard is strong enough, it can even trap warships.
On December 27, 2013, my country's Antarctic research vessel Xuelong was trapped in the Antarctic ice area due to a blizzard on its way to rescue a Russian passenger ship.
On April 21, 2018, the Xuelong was trapped in Antarctica by a blizzard again.
On December 27, 2013, because it had been so long, Xiang Yang didn’t quite understand what had happened.
But Xiang Yang had taken a close look at the incident in 2018, and it was no exaggeration to say that the situation at the scene was extremely thrilling.
"Captain, Captain." At this time, the intercom on Xiang Yang's chest rang again.
"Say, I'm Xiang Yang." Xiang Yang came back to his senses and spoke directly into the intercom.
"I'm Xu Fang. I'm in the cab now." Xu Fang said loudly on the other side of the intercom.
