When everything was settled, Yang Yi arranged for the navy soldiers to transport the promised five tons of gold to the warship, and visited it at the warm invitation of General Yan.

Everyone was curious about this "Zhenguo artifact", and when they heard that they could visit, they all ran to the warship, even the three girls and Wang Weidong were no exception, one by one they kept taking selfies or mutual photos with their mobile phones, except for some confidential areas on the warship, everyone took pictures all over.

Especially Zhang Feifei, this guy, lying on the two joint engine main guns, posing in various poses to take pictures, if it weren't for Yang Yi's strict request, it is estimated that he would have slept on this gun barrel for a night.

General Yan doesn't mind, for the common people, warships are mysterious, so it's not a big deal to be curious, and besides, these gang masters are also his "gold masters". The instructions of the Military Commission have just come down, and this batch of gold will be handed over to the Southern Theater and the Navy to handle with full authority, and in the end, it is basically the Southern Theater and the South China Sea Fleet to divide it in half, and he still has to think about how he can fight for some benefits for his warship.

It seems that in the future, I can discuss with my superiors and dispatch a few more escort missions, how fast the money comes, and how good it is to be able to train troops and travel, and to earn money.

Of course, now Huaxia has already started escorting ships in Somalia and Malacca, but the cost of escorting merchant ships is not enough for fuel, which is like this, you can get five tons of gold and more than 100 million yuan in one trip, how can you leave a tenth of his escort ship, how many weapons and equipment can be updated, it is too worthwhile!

It's just that he didn't know that the fishing boat could be so rich, through talking to the crew on the ship, he found that there was no such treasure, this fishing boat was also worth the old nose money, and the seafood on it was worth at least tens of millions.

Of course, this is just thinking about it, he is a soldier, obedience to orders is the first, and he has been a navy all his life, let him take off this clothes, he is really a little reluctant, but it does not prevent him from having a relationship with Yang Yi, the little brother of the "local tyrant".

A few of these people were eating peanuts and drinking beer with Yang Yi, a group of generals, colonels, and the youngest was also a colonel, chatting while accompanying Yang Yi to drink, and the meaning of the words was to try to see if they could recruit any more veterans of the navy.

Yang Yi naturally does not refuse to come, the two sides are mutually beneficial, what is not to do, he does want to expand the size of the fleet, the existing crew is definitely not enough, the naval soldiers are trained and disciplined, and they are the best crew candidates, even Wang Weidong, who accompanied him, also moved his mind and planned to establish long-term cooperation with the navy, because he planned to establish a salvage fleet that he had discussed with Yang Yi when he went back this time.

In the evening, after another friendship with the people of the fleet, they drank a big meal, and while everyone was asleep, Yang Yi and Gui Lao disappeared on the Zhushan and headed towards the Antarctic continent.

Antarctica is about 4,000 kilometers away from Australia, is the "seventh continent" of mankind, with a total area of about 13.9 million square kilometers, the land area is larger than the Australian continent, covered by ice and snow all year round, there is no permanent population, and it does not belong to any country, and it is the common wealth of people all over the world.

Shrouded in a huge ice cap, it belongs to the plateau terrain, and in the age of dinosaurs, Antarctica was still connected with other continents to form the Pangea continent, which is also densely forested, and is a paradise for many dinosaurs.

With the impact of the Chicxulub meteorite, the dinosaurs went extinct, and the continents drifted apart. Antarctica split from Africa and Oceania, moving further and further south, eventually reaching the Antarctic region, becoming an isolated continent.

When Yang Yi and Gui Lao entered the Antarctic Circle, they couldn't help but be shocked when they looked at the vast but desolate ice field, as well as the aurora hanging in the sky in the distance.

Yang Yi didn't know much about Antarctica, but when he was in school, he remembered that when he talked about penguins, he thought of Antarctica. Those clumsy, cute and cute little ones in tuxedos are the masters of this continent, they can live and breed in the bitter cold of -60 °C, and they are also the oldest "migratory birds" in the world, much older than the evolutionary history of humans.

They flew along the edge of the ice sheet in the air, and in the route they passed, there were a group of penguins, and they were leaning together one by one, trying to resist the cold wind, ice and snow, and keep each other warm.

Penguin is a bird that evolved directly from reptiles, has not experienced the flight stage, lives by preying on small fish, krill, squid, originally penguins are distributed in various continents and regions of the world, and now most of them live in Antarctica and the southern hemisphere such as Argentina, South Africa and other countries. In the eyes of people all over the world, especially children, penguins are no less popular than pandas.

Gui Lao led the way, and they soon arrived near the destination this time, Yang Yi stopped in the air, looking at this "strange" area, if it weren't for the ice and snow stretching around, he really thought that this was not Antarctica.

It turns out that the place below is different from the rest of Antarctica, there is not the slightest ice and snow, the ground is covered with bare rocks and lakes, and it is surrounded by glaciers that stand for tens or hundreds of meters, which looks so different in the vast snowfield.

"Old Gui, what kind of place is this, why is there no snow?" Yang Yi stopped in the air and asked Gui Lao, who made him almost ignorant of Antarctica.

Gui Lao touched his head, which didn't have a few hairs, and said with a smile: "Here, it's an island not far from the South China Sea, if according to the name of those people now, this area is called 'Victoria Land', and this valley is called McMurdo Oasis!"

"Oasis, there is an oasis in Antarctica, there is no grass or trees here?" Yang Yi was even more confused when he heard it.

"Who told you that an oasis must have grass and trees? Besides, this is also the name given by those human scientists, because when they go to Antarctica, all they see is white ice and snow, only here there is no ice and snow cover, and these people who are holding back their heads are called 'oasis', in fact, it is just a difference caused by the energy of the sea eye. Gui Lao explained.

"Is this our destination this time? Where is the sea eye? Is it in that small lake?" Yang Yi asked, pointing to the oasis in the darkness.

"No, it's a small puddle, and the sea eye can't be on land, right?

After flying for a while, Gui Lao took Yang Yi down, this "oasis" is very large, Gui Lao said that it is almost 10,000 square kilometers, which is also what he found by checking the information, the terrain here is completely different from the Antarctic of the Immortal Era, so he can only guess the approximate location of the sea eye with the data.

Gui Lao observed here for a while, and basically turned around this "oasis" before leading him to the iceberg a few hundred meters high on the south side, which was already covered with thick ice and snow. I saw that he stepped on it hard, and the thick ice cracked a crack that was 100 meters long and three or four meters wide, and Yang Yi looked down and saw that the ice cracked here was 100 meters deep, and below was the flowing seawater.

"Let's go, let's go down, it should be around here!" Gui Lao said indifferently.

"You mean the sea eye is in this ocean under the ice?" Yang Yi asked in surprise.

"It should be, there are too many changes here, and I can't be sure of it, but the South China Sea Eye is a warm spring, only this place is in line, let's go down and find out if it's okay!" Gui Lao touched the door of his head that was close to the bald head and said.

"This is too peculiar, the sea eye is actually a warm spring, so why doesn't the ice near melt?" Yang Yi seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was asking Gui Lao.

"What's the matter, the sea eye is the most important place in the South China Sea, and it is even more important than the Dragon Palace, naturally there is a protective barrier, and the energy overflow is also caused by the entrance and exit left by the barrier, and other places cannot be affected!" Gui Lao explained.

Then he took Yang Yi and jumped into the ice crack, and after entering the water, Gui Lao became a one-meter square body, a green turtle all the time, but this turtle back armor is also nine, each back armor is like a crystal green jade, and there are different dots on it, is this the legendary turtle with a "Luo Shu"?

Moreover, Gui Lao's body is a turtle body, but there are two horns on his head, and two long whiskers, if it is not the shape of the head or the shape of a turtle, Yang Yi still thinks that he is a dragon! The limbs are not the fin-like of turtles, a bit like the feet of a tortoise, but with long claws.

The tail is thick, with scales, and a forked tail fin like a carp, this body is really a bit strange, most of them are like turtles but they are different, but think about the dragon he turned into the body in the eyes of people who have never seen it, it also belongs to the type of "monster", so I don't think about it anymore.
