Chapter 163 The Vortex Blocks the Way

“What’s the matter?”

Ye Qing also realized that something was wrong, and after helping Fanny, he asked quickly.

Fanny yelled: “We may have encountered a vortex, let Mu Hou return to the shore!”

Ye Qing and Zhao Ling were both surprised, and then they looked at Fanny. After all, at sea, this is Fanny’s strong point, and Fanny, at this time, is also their biggest reliance.

“This place suddenly became a deep sea area. The bamboo poles can’t support it to the end. You should find something to paddle. Now we are still on the edge of the spiral and the suction is not strong. We should be able to paddle out soon.”

Fanny said, she had already put the bamboo pole on the raft, and then grabbed a big bamboo tube that Zhao Ling used to hold food, poured out all the food in it, and drew out the sword. With a sword, the bamboo tube split into two. Half, she grabbed half and leaned on the raft and paddled.

Ye Qing and Zhao Ling didn’t care about the food at this time. Ye Qing threw the half bamboo tube left by Funi to Zhao Ling, and then drew according to the pattern, and also split a bamboo tube for paddling.

The peculiar shape of the bamboo tube, after splitting it, forms a ripeness, and it can still produce a lot of force when it is stroked down.

Under the command of Fanny, the three of them rowed unhurriedly, and the raft began to move slowly to the shore.

The speed of the raft was getting faster and faster. After finally landing, the three of them tied it to a big rock with twine. Then they let out a long sigh of relief and lay on the raft side by side, Ye Qing said:” How can this sea whirlpool again?”

Fanny said: “It is common for sailing to encounter vortices on the sea. Generally, vortices are formed at the junction of ocean currents and the waters between islands. It is mainly caused by multiple currents flowing in opposite directions and then colliding to form a rotating motion. ”

After hearing what she said, the two understood roughly. Needless to say, the junction of ocean currents. As for the sea area near the islands, it is because the existence of the islands obstructs the flow of sea water. At the same time, if there are such multiple islands, this kind of water flow will be divided into many streams, and multiple streams of water will collide and impact from different directions, and vortexes will naturally form.

This is like the formation of a tornado, and it is easy to understand.

After understanding this, Zhao Ling immediately admired Fanny and said, “Fanny, you are so amazing. If it weren’t for you, we might have been sucked in today.”

Fanny was a little ashamed and said: “In fact, after discovering another island, I should have thought that there would be a vortex here, and I was negligent. In addition to the chaotic water flow near the islands, the complexity of the seabed structure is also the main factor in the formation of the vortex. If only I had thought of it earlier.”

“This kind of terrain is rare. It’s normal if I don’t think of it for a while. Next time everyone will have experience.” Ye Qing comforted, and then said: “By the way, what about this submarine structure?”

It was Zhao Ling who answered him this time, and only heard the girl endorse: “Generally speaking, the islands on the sea are mostly alluvial stalls formed after the collision of multiple ocean currents, but some are formed after the collision of plate movements. If it is the latter, the shallow water area around the island will be very short, which leads to the extreme section of the buffer zone between the shallow water area and the deep water area. The sea water drop is large, which naturally produces a large suction force and is easy to form a vortex.”

“Not bad, it seems that your geography is quite good.” Ye Qing gave her a thumbs up.

Zhao Ling raised his head triumphantly, and said, “That is, don’t look at who I am.”

Yes, she wants to be brilliant by giving her some sun. Ye Qing is too lazy to care about Zhao Ling, and asks Funi: “From what you see, how big is this vortex? We have to circle the island. We can’t just stay here. Can’t make it?”

Fanny said: “I don’t know, it depends on how much the vortex suction expands to the surrounding area. You have to try it to find out.”

“How to try?” Zhao Ling asked.

Fanny didn’t speak, but just got up from the raft, ran to the shore, pulled out a stalk of grass from the cracks in the stone, and then put it in the water, watching the grass float away, and then said: “Look, it’s already there from here. There is suction, and the grass will gradually be sucked to the center of the vortex. As long as we stare at the grass, we can know how big the radius of the vortex is.”

Ye Qing thoughtfully, immediately took out the binoculars and observed where the grass would disappear, which meant where the center of the vortex was.

After observing for a long time, I saw that the grass was getting faster and faster. In the end, it was almost as if it was being pushed by an engine behind it, and then suddenly at a certain moment, it disappeared after turning in place for a few times.

Fanny put down the binoculars and said to the two of them: “It seems that we can’t get through this place. The radius of this vortex is at least one-third of the nautical mile. This distance, if you count from both sides, must at least extend to the island over there. .

As soon as Zhao Ling heard this, his face immediately became embarrassed. When they set out in the morning, they were full of morale and vowed to sail around the island. But this meeting has only been out for a long time, so are they going to go back?

And Ye Qing thinks a little bit more, as Funi said, it is obviously impossible to go from here to the island over there, so you can only think of other ways to pass, otherwise the task can not be completed, but how do you want to talk to the two girls? Say it?

If you tell them directly that you must go to the island over there, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

Being annoyed, Zhao Ling suddenly said, “How about we go around a little bit and go around from the outside sea, but it’s just a little bit far away?”

“That’s the only way to think about it. Fanny” also groaned beside her.

Ye Qing was taken aback, curiously said: “Why, are you still going to continue?”

“Otherwise?” Zhao Ling asked rhetorically.

Ye Qing is speechless, to be honest, although he has been together for so long, he doesn’t understand the woman’s mind at all.He thought that in this case, the two women would choose to go back directly. I like it better, but women dislike it (? Qian Zhao).

But he had forgotten that among the two women, Fenny was an island, and she had an adventurous spirit. To her, it was completely instinct.

As for Zhao Ling, in order to find Ye Qing, he could slip and run all the way across the cliff in the middle of the night.

But this is actually not because Ye Qing underestimated them to ask such a question, after all, it would be very risky to do so.

One is that their current navigation tool is only a raft. If you want to make a detour, you have to go to the deep sea area. However, in the deep sea area, the raft is not easy to control. Whenever a wave comes, it is easy to deviate from the channel. At that time, it was really resigned to fate.

The other is that who knows if there will be vortices over there. If you enter the deep sea and encounter vortices again, you won’t be able to get back with a single stroke at that time.

So this matter has to be discussed, how to detour this detour. .
