As the name suggests, the main function of the icebreaker is to break ice.
In fact, it has an ice-breaking device, instead of simply using the collision angle of the bow to hit the ice.
Simply relying on the weight of the ship to hit the ice will not necessarily be as effective as those of large ships.
Because the hull weight and armor thickness of large ships are higher than that of icebreakers, and their strength and volume are several times greater than that of icebreakers.
With the ice-breaking device, the icebreaker will become a special ship specially used to break ice.
The icebreaking methods of icebreakers can be roughly divided into two types.
One is that when the thickness of the ice layer is within 1.5 meters, the icebreaker uses the power of the propeller and the bow device to split the ice first to achieve the effect of breaking the ice and achieve the purpose of opening a road.
Another method of icebreaking is collision icebreaking, which uses the shallow draft of the bow to allow the sharp hull of the bow to crush the ice in front, and then uses the thrust of the propeller to break the ice.
The ice breaker given by the small group commission system is different. It can emit lasers and crush the thick ice in front of it, replacing the function of the propeller.
This technology was definitely not mastered in previous lives, but in this world laser technology is developing rapidly, and some of the icekeepers' research vessels are also equipped with this kind of icebreaker.
After choosing to use the icebreaker, the bow of the scientific research vessel immediately generated a collision angle and dozens of small laser transmitters.
"System, break the ice."
"Ding! The small icebreaker has been integrated with the hull and can be operated from the cockpit."
After icebreaking is turned on, dozens of laser transmitters fire at the same time, and the ice blocking the scientific research ship melts and disappears instantly.
"Wuhu!" Huo Yu whistled, "Let's go!"
No one agreed.
Huo Yu turned around in confusion and found two little guys rummaging around in the cab and running around on the floor.
Xiao Tuan sat on the floor innocently. When he saw Huo Yu turning his head, he grinned at Huo Yu.
Xiaoyu was more curious about the console, raised his furry little paw and patted a black button.
Huo Yu sighed, he was really naughty, he was worthy of being a little wolf cub and a naughty child...
Hmm? Black button?
"Stop! That's..."
Before he finished speaking, a harsh and heartbreaking sound sounded from the bow of the ship.
The directional sonicator of the scientific research vessel was accidentally activated by Xiaoyu, a bastard.
Huo Yu's head roared, and his eyesight turned a little black.
He quickly picked up the headset on the side and put it on his head, then covered one of the two little guys' ears.
The two little guys were not stupid. They understood that this sound was extremely lethal, so they covered their other ears with their paws.
The directional sonicator can emit 180 decibels of directional sound waves. What is the concept of 180 decibels?
Scientists once tortured mice with sounds as high as 180 decibels, and found that such sounds could shatter their livers, reaching the level of "heart-breaking". (Mouse: Scientist, I thank you and your family!)
When the sound reaches about 120 decibels, the human ear will feel pain, which is also called the "pain threshold".
140 decibels is the highest threshold defined by the European Union as causing complete hearing loss.
When the sound exceeds 150 decibels, the human eardrum will rupture and cause permanent damage.
Above 170 decibels can even cause death.
If this description is not vivid enough, then I can tell you.
During the Spring Festival, the noise generated when setting off firecrackers can reach as high as 135 decibels, which has exceeded the hearing tolerance limit of the human ear.
The sonicator can produce sound waves up to 180 decibels.
Even though it only increased by a few dozen decibels, in fact the energy contained in it has increased tens of thousands of times.
Fortunately, the directional sound wave device can control the route of sound propagation, so that excessive noise will not harm people on the scientific research vessel.
Otherwise, Huo Yulian and Xiaoyu Xiaotuan would have been bleeding from all their orifices and would have been unconscious.
The piercing sound lasted for about twenty seconds. During this period, Huo Yu tightly covered the ears of the two furry children and did not dare to let go, so he could not close it midway.
After ten seconds, Huo Yu let go of his hand.
Shaking his head, he felt a little tinnitus at this moment.
He stood up and looked out the window. On the sea where the sound wave was aimed, a large piece of floating ice had broken up.
Under the sea, hundreds of sea fish of unknown species surfaced with their bellies turned up.
Not far away, several seals that were peeping secretly seemed to be frightened out of their wits. They cursed and fled madly into the distance.
The originally calm and peaceful sea surface suddenly turned into a mess.
Huo Yu turned around and glared at Xiao Yu fiercely.
Xiao Tuan was still sitting on the floor dumbly, looking like he didn't know what was going on. He must have been frightened by the first wave of noise.
When Xiaoyu saw Huo Yu staring at him, he immediately lowered his head, consciously stood up and stood in the corner.
It's so bad. Real naughty kids are not as bad as you!
This needs to be known to the Ice Keeper Headquarters. Not only will they be given a demerit, but they will also be given a serious warning.
Huo Yu looked at the dead fish on the sea and felt regretful in his heart.
There are many rare fish here...
Feeling secretly sad in his heart, Huo Yu took out the fishing net from his space backpack.
It's better to make the best use of everything if it's all dead.
This is a good ingredient for making sashimi...
...
At the 009 scientific research station, Su Jian looked at the map on the big screen with a pale face.
Su Peipei was standing aside with her head lowered. She didn't look as aggressive as before, and she didn't even dare to show off her anger.
"Nonsense! What a nonsense!"
Su Jian slapped the table in front of him and shouted sharply.
"Where did he get the boat?"
Su Peipei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"Does he know the location of the members of the 083 scientific research station? That base vehicle has been floating at sea for who knows how many days. What is he looking for?" Su Jian stood up and paced anxiously.
"Not even looking for the base vehicle. It's his first time sailing, and he may not even be able to find the location before the 083 scientific research station."
Su Jian sat back down tiredly and asked, "What did he say at that time? Tell me verbatim."
"He said that he found a friend in China and got a small scientific research vessel."
"Let me tell you, don't worry about him. The situation at the 249 scientific research station is very good and there will be no problems."
Su Jian leaned back dejectedly and murmured: "It's my fault. I wanted him to drive to support, but who knew the ice broke."
"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have rushed to seek medical treatment..."
Su Peipei asked in a low voice: "Dad, what should we do now?"
Su Jian reluctantly raised his head and said feebly: "Explain the situation to the other search and rescue teams. If we encounter him, let him go with the search and rescue team."
"Gone?"
"Then what else can be done?"
Su Peipei said excitedly: "The sea is so big, how could we meet the search and rescue team by such a coincidence? What's the difference between this and not caring about him?"
Su Jian raised his head and glanced at his daughter, wanting to say something.
In the end, he sighed and waved to Su Peipei.
He is the mid-level commander of the Ice Guards and shoulders great responsibilities.
The sea is so big and there are so few icekeepers.
How many scientific research stations were wiped out and no one survived.
How could the rescue force be spared to save Huo Yu alone?
