456. The cry of the port
After galloping day and night, the fishing boat finally arrived in Greenland five days after leaving Liuying Town.
Greenland is the world's largest island, and Chen Song has long been fascinated by it.
Unfortunately, it was night when they arrived at Cape Fawell, the southernmost tip of Greenland, and there was heavy fog on the sea that night, so he could not see the true face of the island as soon as possible.
This sea fog was a warning from Greenland to them. The bow and stern of the boat were frozen. Chen Song went out and turned around, and when he came back, his face was covered with frost.
Brother Dao went out to pee, and then Chen Song had to take a hot bath for it, and it hung on ice ridges...
Greenland is already very cold in late October.
Chen Song was prepared for this. Greenland has a cold polar climate, and the temperature in the southwest can slightly increase due to the influence of the Gulf Current.
As for the overall temperature of the entire island, the average winter temperature on the island is minus 6c in the south, minus 35c in the north, the average summer temperature along the southwest coast is 8c, and the average summer temperature in the north is 3.6c.
Fortunately, they were not going to the northern region. At that time, the footprints of Redbeard Eric and others were limited to the southern region. The northern region could not live at all. As for the coldest central plateau area, it was a forbidden area for life.
"It's terrible there. I've been to it once. It's simply ice hell. Its average temperature can reach minus 43c in the coldest month of winter, and the absolute minimum temperature reaches minus 70c. Do you understand what I mean? It's the second cold pole on earth after Antarctica." Eric introduced.
Chen Song rubbed his hands and said, "I understand what you mean, but are you sure the southern region is warmer? Why do I feel that the temperature is below zero now?"
Eric said indifferently: "Illusion, you are illusion because heavy fog causes excessive humidity in the air. You should know that the temperature felt by the human body is called the somatosensory temperature, which is not consistent with the actual temperature outside. When the heavy fog dissipates, you will feel better."
Chen Song asked, "So when can the fog be dissipated?"
Eric shrugged and said, "It won't be long. You have to know that there is a layer of cold air over the cold interior of Greenland. There are often low-pressure air masses above the cold air moving from west to east, which causes the coastal weather to change rapidly, sometimes with sunshine and sometimes with wind and snow, but no matter what weather, it will not last long."
Chen Song brought brown sugar and ginger cubes from Yin and Yang Peak, and he went to boil brown sugar ginger juice for Angelina.
Hot brown sugar ginger juice is the best drink to keep warm. Angelina's forehead was sweating after drinking it. She happily held the cup and said, "I like this hot drink. What is it called? I feel that no coffee can compare to it."
Maybe staying away from familiar environments, unfamiliar environments can make people feel more unrestrained in their relationships. Chen Song boldly joked: "This is called the heat wave of love."
Angelina was even more unrestrained and directly put her on her neck and gave him a kiss.
Greenland has a cold climate and is covered in ice and snow. According to scientific workers' measurements, the total volume of ice in the island reaches 2600 trillion cubic meters. If all these ices melt, all the sea surfaces on the earth will rise by 6.5 meters.
So those who have never been to the Maldives have gone to quickly. After thousands of years, the glaciers in Greenland melted and they couldn't go there even if they wanted to.
This island can only protrude high on sea level by thick ice. If the ice layer is removed, Greenland will not have such a towering style, but can only lie on the sea like a turtle shell.
Fishing boats could not enter the cape port in heavy fog, but the port staff were very enthusiastic. They drove small boats to pass by each fishing boat, and then there was a trumpet on the bow of the boat shouting in English:
"Coffee, hot coffee; cocoa, hot cocoa; and hot seafood soup, freshly baked hot bread. Please honk the whistle if you need it, and please honk the whistle if you need it!"
Trickron quickly honked his horn and asked, "How many cups of coffee do we want? I think the more the better, what about you?"
Eric waved his hand and said, "Uh, we don't need it, there is a coffee machine on the boat, right?"
Trickron didn't understand why he didn't want the coffee from the port, until when he ordered twenty cups, the old ladies on the boat told him in a very enthusiastic voice: "One cup is two hundred Danish kroners, and a total of four thousand Danish kroners."
Greenland belongs to Denmark, so the currency used is Danish kroner.
Although the units are kroner like Icelandic Kroner, the value of Danish Kroner is very different from that of Icelandic Kroner, and the exchange rate is almost eighteen.
In other words, this coffee is not free, not only is it not free, but it costs 360 yuan per cup.
Four thousand Danish kroner is more than four thousand yuan and about seventy thousand Icelandic kroner.
Trickron thought hot drinks were free, he thought it was humanitarian service.
As a result, reality taught him a lesson. He looked at Chen Song with desperate eyes. Chen Song pretended not to see it, rubbed his hands and walked into the cabin while muttering: "It's too cold, so go back to sleep. You can't drink anything. If you drink too much, you will pee at night."
There is no doubt that the hot drinks sold in the port are slaughtering people.
But Trickron had to be slaughtered because they sold it clearly. Besides, considering that these hot drinks were delivered on a boat, the price was not very exaggerated, and the speedboat was very fuel-intensive.
Trickron had to pay, otherwise they wouldn't think about entering the port.
The hot drinks from the speedboats in the port are just a trick for newcomers. People like Eric must have been cheated, so they made it clear that they didn’t want the hot drinks sent by the speedboats.
Not only Trickron and others were trapped, but there were still quite a lot of ships docked outside the port. Greenland's economic foundation is fishery and mining. Both industries require ships to be transported out, so their maritime freight industry is quite developed.
Don’t think that Greenland is a barren land because of the cold temperature. In fact, the products here are abundant, and there is also industry developing, such as canned food production and seafood freezing.
The fog lasted not long for a long time. Before the night passed, the fog dissipated, as if it was blown away by the sea breeze.
Then, stars as bright as colorful diamonds suddenly appeared in the night sky.
Chen Song didn't know when the fog dissipated. He had been condensing his spiritual energy. When he opened his eyes, he subconsciously looked out and saw the starry sky that was so close to him...
Without optical pollution and clouds, space loses its meaning in this cold island.
The sky and the seabed are vaguely within reach.
Although there were many beautiful starry sky in Iceland, Chen Song was shocked at this moment.
The endless stars were above his head. In an instant, he understood the exquisiteness of these two lines of poetry that could pick the stars with his hands, fearing that the heavenly people would be shocked.
With the clear starry sky, the clear sea surface, the brilliant stars, the brilliant reflections, the stagnation of time and the fusion of space, Chen Song suddenly felt as if he had touched the true meaning of time and space.
The running Qi sees his mood changes. The five Qi seeds suddenly gathered and separated instantly. They turned into six Qi seeds, which allowed Chen Song to be sublimated.
