451. Shark gastric lavage

Before boarding the ship, Eric and his party began to count the equipment.

Relatively speaking, their attitude is very positive and they are very well prepared.

Not to mention clothing and food, just talk about other supplies. For example, they have prepared two sets of communication equipment, one is Nokia's short-pulse group information terminal, and the other is the Cougar 2000 secure radio.

In addition, they also carried drones, night vision goggles, thermal imagers, etc. In terms of weapons, there were US military engineer shovels, pistol shotguns, German KCB bayonets, etc.

All in all, these people are indeed armed to the teeth.

Chen Song's preparations were not that sufficient. He and Angelina also prepared professional adventure equipment, but they mainly dressed and food. In terms of communication, they prepared a satellite phone.

Eric told him that this kind of satellite phone is useless at all. Once it is trapped in the snow and snow, because the snow and ice will affect the communication signals, the satellite phone will most likely not be used.

Chen Song is not worried about these things. He has the Light Gate to use. At worst, he will run to the Yin-Yang Peak when he encounters problems. He can use Taoist techniques to solve problems that cannot be solved by science.

After counting the equipment, they boarded the boat and started to set off.

Trickron was the captain. When the fishing boat left the port, he set up autonomous driving. There was a fixed route from Iceland to Greenland, and the computer could control it by itself.

The big ship broke through the waves and sailed westward. The blue water spread to both sides, causing cold waves at the stern.

Sometimes a gust of sea breeze blew, and the waves increased sharply. Chen Song had no time to retreat, and a wave hit him.

Fortunately, he was wearing a waterproof jacket, and the waves just slapped his chin, but they didn't get wet.

Trickron walked over with a smile, and handed Chen Song a glass of wine and said, "Boss, come on, eat the fish and drink the wine. May the sea god bless us to return with a full load."

What he handed over was a goblet filled with white wine and a piece of fish soaked in the wine.

Chen Song stared at the fish meat: "This is not fermented shark meat, is it?"

"Sorry, that's right." Trickron continued to grin.

After hearing this, Chen Song waved his hand and refused: "I have no interest in shark meat."

Angelina took the cup and said, "This is the tradition of southern fishermen. When she goes out to sea, she eats a piece of shark meat and drinks a glass of strong wine to pray for the protection of the sea god."

Fisheries play an important role in the national economy of Iceland, and the Vikings even started fishing since they came to Iceland.

The oceans in Nordic areas rarely have calm waves, so in ancient times, fishermen established many traditions to seek psychological comfort in order to go to sea smoothly.

From ancient times to the present, many maritime traditions have been merged or lost, and now there are only a few projects left. These projects are deeply rooted in the bones of fishermen and sailors, and they are very pious in their attitude towards them.

After following the local customs, Chen Song could no longer refuse. He also took a cup and said, "Okay, what should I do? Drink wine and eat fish, right?"

"Half right," Trickron taught him, "drinke half a glass of wine, eat half a piece of shark meat, pour the rest into the sea and give it to Egil."

Egil is the god of the deep sea in Nordic mythology. He is not very famous. Some places in Nordic places do not have his seat.

The fermented shark meat itself has a strange smell, similar to the scent of urine. In theory, alcohol can suppress this smell, but the wine is relatively low and not as strong as Black Death Wine.

The alcohol content is too low to suppress the smell, but the two blend into a new strange smell. Chen Song felt that it would be better to simply eat shark meat and drink a sip of wine.

Although the sea was surging, the weather was pretty good overall. Chen Song sniffed the abundant water vapor, and then the fishing boat sailed through the Cape Leicha Peninsula in Iceland and turned northward, heading towards Greenland.

Sailing on the sea is very boring. Chen Song is a mountainous person and is not very familiar with the ocean, so after getting on the boat, he felt it was quite novel at first, and it was interesting to see anything.

But after staying on the boat for half a day, the novelty was gone, and what was left was the same sea and sky.

In this way, Chen Song understood that Trickron would drink alcohol and deal with the ocean all day long. If he didn't drink some alcohol to paralyze his nerves, he might be driven crazy.

He was bored in the afternoon, and just as he was about to find some beer to drink, Angelina suddenly pulled him and said excitedly: "Look, look ahead, the shark in the front!"

Chen Song looked at it and soon discovered the big shark floating on the sea.

The shark must be three or four meters long, with a burly and powerful spindle shape, a large mouth, and two small black eyes, with a very strong image.

The fishing boat sailed towards the shark, and the shark suddenly opened its mouth and spit out some broken fish or whole small fish. These fish floated on the sea, and the waves surging, sweeping them forward.

Chen Song asked in surprise: "Why did this fish spit?"

"Maybe our captain is too ugly?" Angelina teased.

Trickron came after hearing the news. He lay on the bow of the boat and looked carefully at the sea, then said excitedly: "Good luck, slow down the boat, there are fish and crabs around us. We are going to get a harvest today."

Chen Song asked, "What does it mean?"

Trickron pointed to the shark still floating on the sea and said, "Look, the weasel shark is washing his stomach. It is obviously overeating and then frightened by our fishing boat."

Chen Song touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I don't understand what you said."

Trickron said: "You know the weasel shark? A very ferocious shark is as difficult as a great white shark. They are very gluttonous and are gluttonous in the ocean. They can eat everything, seals, shrimps, crabs, shellfish, and of course seabirds. After eating some things they cannot digest and spit out."

Speaking of this, he pointed at the shark again and said, "If they encounter excessive fright when they vomit, they will have a stress reaction and will directly spit out the entire stomach."

The weasel shark Chen Song knew that this was a very famous shark, commonly known as the tiger shark in China.

In fact, the tiger sharks called by Chinese coastal fishermen are not the same as real tiger sharks. Real tiger sharks are not very cruel, but in comparison, weasel sharks are terrifying.

After hearing Trickron's words, Chen Song was shocked: "There is such a thing? Is it a bit exaggerated to vomit my stomach when I was scared? "

Trickron shook his head and said, "It's no exaggeration. I was having sex at sea in the early years. I once saw great white sharks being trapped by fishing nets so they were too panicked. They even sprayed their children out!"

Even Angelina was shocked: "Really?"

Eric next to him said: "I have seen this kind of thing, and it's normal for sharks. They stop pregnancy by themselves to regain the optimal physical condition to escape."
