The departure time is set for August 8th.

The volunteers and professionals who participated in the selection returned from the Polar Training Centre on August 3.

The next few days.

They want to get acquainted with the "Dream" icebreaker.

The name "Dream" was proposed by the media after Liu Wei was interviewed by Phoenix Satellite TV.

It sounded good, so Liu Wei used this name.

Major well-known domestic media have arrived at the Xingxing Shipyard one after another, looking forward to reporting on the moment when the "Dream" set sail.

In the past two days, Liu Wei met with many leaders of government departments in the temporary office.

Several big leaders of the Magic City Municipal Party Committee came to visit all the crew members of the Dream.

On behalf of the Party and the people, the central and local governments, they came to express their condolences to the crew of the Dream.

A lot of uplifting words were said.

"Liu Wei, we are waiting for you at the dock to triumph!"

"Thank you leaders for your concern!

Liu Wei shook hands with several leaders.

After bidding farewell to the leader, Liu Wei returned to the living area on the third floor.

"Wang Jun, gather all the crew!" Liu Wei ordered.

"I'll let you know right away!"

The restaurant was turned into a makeshift conference room.

All 88 crew members gathered here.

Liu Wei stood at the front and said sincerely, "The day after tomorrow is about to set off, gather everyone today, I have some things to say in my heart, and I have some important things to do."

First of all, as a captain, I would like to welcome you to the Dream, when the global recruitment started, I had a lot of worries, I wondered if anyone would join, whether we could recruit the most professional talents, and what did the society think of us?......

These problems have bothered me for a long time, but fortunately, my popularity is quite good, and I have received help from many seniors and people in the industry.

Now that the 88 crew members of the Dream have been assembled, I'm thrilled, and I'm sure you're feeling as ...... as I am at the moment."

Liu Wei revealed his true feelings and touched all the crew.

Even old-timers like Professor Zhu have tears in their eyes.

Only those who want to experience it for themselves can feel the urge to ride the wind and waves.

After Liu Wei finished speaking, he turned on the projection equipment and played the video.

"This is a video sent by the 36th stationmaster of the Great Wall Station of our National Antarctic Research Station, Station Director Ding!"

Click Play.

On the screen, a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese Antarctic expedition overalls stood energetically in the cold wind.

"All the crew of the Dream, hello everyone, this is the Great Wall Station of Antarctica, I am proud of you, I am waiting for you at the Great Wall Station!

The video is less than thirty seconds.

A few short words from Stationmaster Ding were inspiring.

Faces showing determination were presented in Liu Wei's field of vision.

Liu Wei was very satisfied, nodded, and reached out to take three thick pieces of information from Wang Jun's hand.

"Brothers, I'll call you that from now on!

There are three things you must do before you go!"

Liu Wei picked up the first document, "This is a confidentiality agreement printed by the Polar Research Center, you must sign it, whether it is a domestic volunteer or a foreign volunteer, we reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility!"

"Professor Zhu, please send it to all the crew!"

Professor Zhu got up and walked up to Liu Wei and took over the confidentiality agreement.

The crew did not hesitate, and came to this day through layers of screening and devilish assessment training, and the determination in their hearts is hard to shake.

After signing the confidentiality agreement, Liu Wei picked up the second piece of information, "Brothers, I have purchased an expensive accident insurance for each of you, I don't want any of you to have an accident, but this is what I must do as an initiator." ”

"Wang Jun, send it according to the name!"

Several old-timers nodded and looked at Liu Wei with appreciative eyes.

He is very meticulous in his work.

After signing the insurance, Liu Wei picked up the third document.

Actually, it's a brand new stack of A4 paper.

"You should have seen it, it's a blank slate, and someone may have guessed what I meant.

In the words of the predecessors, when you go to Antarctica, you can do without anything else, and the suicide note must be written!

Brothers, write down everything you want to say to your loved ones on this piece of paper, and I will let the studio keep it temporarily, and I hope that your suicide note will be kept in the studio forever. ”

Liu Wei personally delivered the blank paper to every crew member.

At this point, everyone's faces sank.

This proposition essay is too difficult to write.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is heavy.

The young volunteers were hesitant to put pen to paper.

When Professor Zhu saw this scene, he smiled and said, "Young man, don't be so serious, you have to believe in Captain Liu Wei, believe that we old guys can bring you back safely, write whatever you want!"

The weight of the casual two words is actually very heavy.

Now the thoughts in the minds of the crew members are all predicting the reaction of their relatives if an accident happens.

Some people can't control their emotions anymore.

The tip of his nose fell heavily on the white paper.

At this fall, the power of words suddenly burst out.

After writing the suicide note, some of the crew members wiped their eyes.

Liu Wei smiled: "Raise your hand if you are not married!"

Volunteers raised their hands in unison.

"Hahaha, just change the dream number to a single number!" Liu Wei said with a smile.

The restaurant was filled with laughter.

"I haven't talked about my girlfriend's raised hand!" Liu Wei raised.

The rest did not react.

There was a moment of silence.

The crowd burst into laughter.

Liu Wei smiled awkwardly: "At least, you are better than me!"

As a top anchor, Liu Wei has a strong ability to adjust the atmosphere, and uses a simple question to pull the crew's emotions back.

Elena suddenly shouted, "Liu, I'll be your girlfriend!"

The crowd laughed again.

Susie, who was sitting in the corner, was stunned for a moment.

What's the situation, did anyone rob her?

She also raised her hand slowly, "Liu, if you don't care about age, I can too!"

There was a sudden burst of joy in the cabin.

Liu Wei did not interrupt them, and walked up to the deck alone, looking at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and fell into deep thought.

Professor Zhu and his old friend walked to Liu Wei's side left and right, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and handed it to Liu Wei, "Here's a Huazi!"

Liu Wei opened his mouth and smiled.

I picked one up and lit it.

Professor Zhu sighed with emotion: "While the Dream has not yet set off, let's smoke two more!

The old captain took a puff and said with a smile, "I have been driving a boat for more than 20 years, I have seen a lot of strong winds and waves, and I have never been afraid of anything, what I am most afraid of is the non-smoking, the loneliness on the bridge you can't experience, only smoke understands me best!"

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Wei and Professor Zhu looked at each other and smiled.

The three of them looked at the colorful colors reflected in the river and were silent.

Each has its own thoughts.

……

In the early hours of August 8.

Happy shipyard is surrounded by TV stations, media and people.

All the crew stood on the splint and smiled and waved at the crowd.

Liu Wei and Professor Zhu watched the time on the bridge.

Eight o'clock past eight o'clock.

Liu Wei faced the live camera and said passionately, "Brothers, set sail!"

The horn of the dream sounds!

The sound is stunning!

The icebreaker slowly sailed out of the repair shop, left in everyone's field of vision, and sailed to the Pacific Ocean!
