The National Geographic office building is located between 16th and 17th Streets in Washington, Saintton, with more than a dozen floors.

On the first floor of the office building is the famous National Geographic Museum.

Although it faces the street, it is very magnificent.

It may be because it was built relatively early, compared with other modern buildings, there is nothing outstanding about it, it is a very ordinary office building.

There is a star-striped banner hanging in front of the gate, there is a goat bronze sculpture, and on both sides of the road, there are various bonsai, which is very natural.

The award ceremony was held on the 7th floor of the building, and it was a banquet hall that could accommodate a few hundred people.

It's a ceremony, but it's not that lofty.

Because in this "world", natural science, especially in the field of outdoor sports, is indeed a little backward, including Lao Mei.

Therefore, rather than calling it a ceremony, it may be more appropriate to say that it is a communication party in a small circle.

Most of the people who came to the award ceremony were some news media people, photographers, and a small number of outdoor adventure enthusiasts.

The style of the ceremony is very casual, and there is nothing too restrictive, which is very different from Huaxia.

Before the opening, everyone held wine glasses, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

When he first arrived, Lin Feng didn't know anyone, so Marianne took him to the first floor to visit the National Geographic Museum.

National Geographic was founded in the 80s by the National Geographic Association, a non-profit science education organization in the United States.

The content of the magazine is usually photography and articles about society, history, and customs around the world, and it also reports on the earth-shattering actions of some explorers.

The National Geographic Museum is the face of their magazine.

In the museum, there are many national and regional symbolic collections, such as imitation models of the Qinling Terracotta Warriors, African elephant and buffalo masks, and scientific research exhibitions in Yellowstone Park......

Plus, there are some expansions for the adventure characters.

Adriano, an urban speleologist.

Master rock climber Alex.

Marianne's parents are also documented in the expansion film.

In the picture, the husband and wife are holding a single-lens reflex camera, squatting in a turquoise pool, photographing a water cobra!

It's close, and if you accidentally get bitten into it......

Marianne explains: "This photo was captured by one of their team photographers. At that time, my parents were assigned by a magazine to report on the new science of snake venom medicine. ”

Lin Feng nodded and sighed, "Well, it's amazing. ”

"Let's go to the Yellowstone Expedition Exhibition again. ”

Most of the information pieces in the exhibition area are newly made, and the quality is okay, and the two walked around casually.

To be honest, the museums of the United States are really not interesting, and they can even be said to be a little shabby, which is not a little worse than domestic museums.

With a history of 5,000 years in China, the land is vast and rich, and if you take out a small museum in a place, you can completely hang it.

At 7 p.m., the ceremony officially began.

The host is a white old man, who goes up and mutters a lot, looking a bit like a talk show actor, and all kinds of jokes come at his fingertips.

After he finished speaking, the big screen behind him began to scroll through the winners' photographs.

There are those who shoot the customs, those who shoot wild animals, and some who live in daily life.

Then, the editors-in-chief of National Geographic began to award the winners of the photo contest.

After this session, it was the finale of the ceremony - the nomination of the adventure figures.

There are a total of 10 candidates for this expedition, including Lin Feng, but he is the only one from China.

National Geographic's Explorer of the Year is the equivalent of MVP in the NBA!

Of the 10 nominations, only one was selected, so the competition was fierce.

The old white man invited the 10 people to the stage, introduced them one by one, and then held the crystal trophy of the "explorer" in his hand, and said, "It's the most exciting moment again, who will be this year's MVP? Harden, Davis, James, Oh, sorry, these people are not here today." ”

"Tonight, this title of honor and achievement will belong to a warrior! I'll give you a hint that he's not a native American......

As the words fell, the two American mountaineers on the stage shrugged their shoulders and smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

Then the old man continued: "This man...... Successfully broke a world record this year!"

While talking, three or five foreigners smiled helplessly, and the spectators in the audience sighed!

The old man stroked his hair, and his voice gradually became violent from low to high: "One last hint, he !is!" a—— Chinese man!"

"He is Lin Feng, a Chinese explorer and a master of survival!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, there was a thunderous applause from the audience!

The flower spray overhead turned on in an instant, and it rained golden, and all kinds of flashing lights flashed.

Offstage, the staff of the Discovery Channel also jumped up, waving their hands at each other.

On the other side, when Lin Feng heard his name, he slowed down for a while before he reacted, took the trophy from the host's hand, hugged him with a smile, and shook hands.

"Lin Feng!"

"Lin Feng!"

"Lin Feng!"

Foreigners love to enliven up the atmosphere.

To put it bluntly, it's a little bit of 2, a little funny.

As long as it was time to celebrate, it completely changed, and no matter who won the award, Lin Feng's name kept shouting in his mouth.

Especially those indulgent outdoor enthusiasts, they are even more crazy, jumping up directly, whistling all over the sky!

After making a fuss for a while, the host handed the microphone to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng looked at the trophy and said with a smile in English: "It's a great honor to receive this award, there are so many people to thank, my family, my friends, my team, and myself......"

"I love the wilderness, I like nature, I like this back-to-basics ...... life"

"Seven thousand years ago, the Sumerians left this motto in cuneiform: Shoes are your eyes, and walking is wise. ”

"I don't know the tadpole inscription engraved on the stone wall, but I understand that the phrase means "there are eyes under the feet". ”

"Whether on all fours or walking upright, the history of mankind is more or less a history of constant migration or eternal exploration. The infinite charm and infinite cruelty of nature allow us to learn to think and remember, and to perceive and know ourselves in constant surprise. ”

"There is an ancient saying in China, called reading 10,000 books, traveling 10,000 roads, in the wilderness, I have used the cost of my life many times to learn the ability to get close to nature and fight, thank you to "National Geographic", thank you!"

After speaking, there was another thunderous applause from the audience!

At this time, the host took the microphone and began to introduce Lin Feng's deeds and his live broadcast program "Conquest of the Wilderness".

Later, he invited several mysterious guests, namely Jimmy, the head of the International Mountaineering Federation from the British Kingdom, and the Guinness World Records adjudicator.

Together, they awarded Lin Feng four certificates of certification for challenging the world record on Mount Everest.

These were all arranged before Lin Feng came.

After the award ceremony, it was time for a cocktail party.

This time, Lin Feng suddenly became the focus, and many reporters, photography enthusiasts, and some explorers took photos and clinked glasses with him.

Lin Feng also did not refuse to come, and got along well with these colleagues, talked and laughed, and drank a lot of whiskey.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly bumped into him in the crowd and shoved a note into his hand......

Lin Feng was a little drunk, he didn't see who that person was, he frowned, subconsciously looked around, and then found a secluded place and opened the note.

The note read a line in English: "X, as here ith me. ）”
