Chapter 1048: No Man's Land
Three days later, late at night.
The blizzard completely subsided.
The polar interior has finally returned to its former tranquility.
Like a spiral ribbon of aurora hanging overhead, as if it is a legendary celestial maiden in the hands of the slow dance of the colorful streamers, the change is rapid, fleeting, sometimes like a faint haze in the sky, not moving for a long time.
The three of them sat on the roof of the snowmobile, looking up at the overhead, as if they were within reach of the Aurora Galaxy, and their eyes were full of intoxication.
This is the first time that Qin Fan and Ying Junyao have been in Antarctica for nearly a week, and they have seen it so calmly.
As charming as a virgin.
Compared with the previous blizzard, it is completely two worlds.
"The South Aurora is the result of the interaction between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field, which is a high-speed charged particle emitted by the Sun, which moves to the poles when they reach the Earth by the deflection of the Earth's magnetic field, and then emits beautiful auroras after ionizing the thin atmosphere above the poles. ”
"Of course, such a beautiful aurora can only be seen after extreme weather, I have been to Antarctica more than a dozen times, and this is the first time I have seen it. ”
Belin is a pure scientific researcher, with a natural awe and worship of nature, and in the face of this rare Antarctic aurora, she can't help but be a little moved, picking up a professional camera and shooting at the night sky.
It's just that Ying Junyao's recovery is very fast, and the charming aurora does not make her forget what these people will usher in after this snowstorm is over.
She withdrew her gaze from the night sky, sighed softly, and said: "The blizzard is over, the 'Royal' should soon reach the inland edge, and those people on board will have the full support of the major transit stations, and if they are airlifted by helicopter without even taking a snowmobile, they will quickly catch up with our progress, we have to speed up, we can't delay any longer." ”
Belin never asked the two of them about the real purpose of entering the no-man's land.
It didn't matter to her at all.
Because Qin Fan and Ying Junyao gave her a good feeling, she might not be very concerned about the purpose of these two people going deep into the no-man's land, but at least she would not commit a crime.
The snowmobile moves on.
They had already replenished diesel fuel and things at the Mi Guo scientific research station two days ago, and it would take two more days to reach the no-man's land, during this time, Belin assumed the identity of the driver, while Qin Fan was recuperating, and after the vehicle entered the no-man's land, he would act as a detection coolie.
Along the way, the snowmobile finally ran out of fuel two days later and stopped in the middle of a vast snowfield.
"In fact, we have almost arrived at the no-man's land here, we walked all the way along the Yanguo scientific research station, this scientific research station is the one closest to the no-man's land among the seven national scientific research stations, we have been walking for two days, almost the farthest distance that can be walked at present, and then walk forward for an hour, you can see your Yanguo unmanned monitoring point here. Belin explained.
Unmanned inspection sites?
Qin Fan, who had been in a commotion for several days, finally cheered up after hearing this name.
And Ying Junyao also directly turned over and packed her bags, dressed all the six sets of the base, got out of the car with Qin Fan, and looked at the vast snow.
It's real snow.
There is no discernment, all you can see is endless snow and huge ancient glaciers, and here, people's senses can no longer play a role, and more need professional equipment, otherwise it is easy to get lost in this vast no-man's land.
"I'll take you to the unmanned testing point in your Yan country, and you can help me bring the equipment and tents over for a win-win cooperation, how about it?" Belin also got out of the car and said to the two.
"Okay, I'll move the things. ”
Qin Fan nodded, turned over and got into the snowmobile car, pulled down all the equipment and tents inside, packed them and tied them to the sled, and then tied the rope to his shoulders, pulled the heavy supplies and followed behind Ying Junyao, striding towards the no-man's land.
Belin was surprised by Qin Fan's weight, every time she entered no man's land, she needed three people, or six snow dogs, to pull these things, and Qin Fan did it alone today, and it seemed effortless.
"You're a monster. ”
Belin glanced at him, then turned on the direction tester and led the two to lead the way.
"Hey, the geomagnetism around here seems to have been disturbed by something, could it be a meteorite?"
After walking forward for about half an hour, Belin, who had been staring at the tester in her hand, suddenly stopped and said in a somewhat surprised tone.
Qin Fan and Ying Junyao glanced at each other, and they both saw hope in each other's eyes.
"Are there a lot of meteorites here?" asked Ying Junyao, pretending to be puzzled.
"Well, according to the records, nineteen years ago, there was a huge meteorite in this area, smashed through the ice, leaving a lot of meteorite fragments, it is very likely that the snowstorm a few days ago blew the surface snow and ice thin, resulting in the meteorite fragments exposed and covered by heavy snow, which affected the accuracy of the detector. Belin said.
