The cold wind was bitter, like a very thin knife, and when it swept over the face, it stabbed one by one. The blazing white sun hung high in the sky, there were no clouds, the sun shone, and the snow-white world was unusually dazzling, but there was no slightest temperature.

Someone pushed the door open, and the sound of loud music peeked through the crack in the door, and then it was sealed inside, and the world was as quiet as ever.

Professor Carrivan staggered to the bow of the ship and sat casually in a chair, wrapped in his green military coat, his hair covered with a thin layer of mist, and his cheeks instantly turned red from the cold.

He actually didn't like this place, he was from San Diego, California, and San Diego was like spring all year round, and he didn't feel the cold at all. Until the first time he encountered winter, it was so cold! He doubted life, he repeatedly felt that he would be buried by a heavy snow, but it was also at that time that he saw snow for the first time, it was so white, so beautiful, he fell in love with snow deeply.

When the school assigned him the Bismarck, he knew that sooner or later there would be a day when he would be in some extremely cold place, the North Pole or the South Pole, waiting for him to come, feel the cold and see the beauty of the snow.

At this moment, there are more than a dozen high-power air conditioners in the cabin, and the heating makes it almost summer, but he doesn't want to stay there for a moment, it is better to freeze to death than stupid.

He watched as the black bow of the Bismarck crashed against the ice, the ice cracked silently, the white spray swelled under the ship, and the ice floe was everywhere. He remembered his first meeting with the Bismarck twenty years earlier.

At that time, Carriwen was just in his early twenties, less than a year after obtaining Donnas's doctorate, and he was so talented that he had already become the head of the third section of the assembly department at a young age, which was the first time since the founding of Donners that someone became the head of the assembly department in his twenties, which meant that he could rank in the top five in the academy in terms of mechanical knowledge.

When he became the section chief, he came into contact with far more things than before, and he knew more secrets, and Carriwen always knew that the assembly department was a very good department, and his mechanical attainments were unique, but no one expected that under Donnas's campus, there was actually a campus under the sun, with a huge steel dome, all kinds of metal machinery, and white-robed team members shuttling back and forth, they were like doctors in the emergency room of a hospital, lying on the machinery and burying their heads in research. The red-green indicator lights are flashing, the golden firelight is flying all over the sky, and there is an iron gate leading to the sea dozens of meters high, which is a campus belonging to the assembly department, the world of machinery.

At that time, the Bismarck was quietly parked there, reassembled from the wreckage and mounted on the keel. On the right side of the ship was a relatively intact wreckage, with a large cannon hole from which sea water trickled like a bleeding wound. The black, red and yellow three-striped flag is still as new as new after decades of sea immersion, and the sea water reflected in the sun is sparkling on it, as if it is fluttering in the wind.

It was like a wounded black dragon, curling up and licking its wounds, the waves crashing layer after layer, the hull of the ship swaying from side to side, and there was a little sadness in its helplessness.

……

The door opened again, and someone sat next to him, interrupting his thoughts.

The man handed him a bottle of red wine, "What? Professor Carriven doesn't like my party?"

Carriwen glanced at the blonde guy beside him with slightly upturned lips, he took the wine handed over, and said as he looked at it, "I don't like it." ”

The blonde man laughed, "Professor Carrivan is really straightforward, but I don't know what dissatisfies you? ”

Carryvan hadn't spoken for a long time, he was careful about the words of the organization's language, maybe he had stayed in the organization department for too long, he wouldn't make a move without a perfect plan, and even if he spoke, he had to draft it in advance.

"Since the Bismarck was reconditioned by me twenty years ago, it has only been on three missions in the past twenty years, the Black Ghost Harbor, the Dead Sea Storm and this icebreaker. In order to ensure the safety of its indicators and the response to emergencies, I will be the first mate on each mission, and I have witnessed two perfect operations and two highly prestigious captains. I didn't drink it on either trip. Carrivan shook the wine in his hand and took a sip with his head up, "Hennessy cognac, the wine is good! But the Bismarck has never been so lively." ”

The blonde man pondered for a moment, "I roughly understand what the professor means, you think I can't be the captain of the Bismarck, I don't have enough ability, and judging by my behavior, I'm more like a rich boy." ”

"As far as I know, Young Master Kuler was able to enter the Executive Department, and there was a lot of help in his family, and it seems that even His Highness Asa helped you speak. I don't know what your minister thinks, but to be able to approve the Bismarck's trip must not be an easy task, and you, you are really a child. ”

In fact, Karivan didn't think like this in his heart, the Bismarck had only traveled three missions in the past twenty years, and according to the level of the previous two missions, this "icebreaking" must also be of great importance, and it is impossible to hand over such an important task to a hairy boy, and the head of the executive department is not a fool, which can only show that Kuhler has enough strength.

But he just didn't like this young master, and it was the first time someone had a party on his ship. The child he carefully cultivated was obviously a warrior who fought bloody battles to kill the enemy, but he let him wear a pink dress and dance in the sea of flowers.

The blonde man stopped talking, he hadn't attended Professor Carrivan's class, but before he came, he made a point of inquiring with the younger students, and some of them said that Professor Carriven was a very strict and a little funny teacher. Some also said that Professor Carriwen was a very gentle teacher who liked to laugh. Professor Carrivan was fond of drinking and often attended classes drunk. He doesn't like the cold and is often wrapped like a bear. There are very few people who miss his class, because if he misses one class, he will be caught in the final class with a D.

Professor Carrivan is a teacher in the traditional sense, teaching from the book and solving doubts, but he is engaged in the knowledge of machinery and the most advanced technology in the future, so it is inevitable to go beyond the tradition. It's like you think that he has a cold face and he wants to say "knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing", but what he said is "the pressure valve ignores three percent of the steam, and the dark current is highly combined".

They also gave Professor Carrivan the nickname "Mechanical Parrot". Because Professor Carrivan usually speaks every word and every word, just like those mechanical parrots who type in the sentences they want to say in advance.

The blonde man knew that Professor Carriven was upset because he had a party on his ship, and he didn't think it was appropriate, but he had a purpose.

Originally, this mission was not his responsibility, but his boss forced this matter to him, because this mission will pass through the "Northern Waterway - Baffin Bay", which is Claire's most dreamed place, Claire is the girl he has liked for three years, the boss patted him on the shoulder, meaning, "Go ahead, be brave, Boss believes in you!"

The Boss knew him well, and he had been thinking about how to take this step lately, and the Boss had given him this opportunity, he was going to propose to Claire on this waterway, and he was going to marry her. The party is nothing more than a warm-up before the proposal.

He didn't know how to explain it to Professor Carrivan, and he couldn't say, "Hey, teacher, I'm going to borrow your boat to propose to my beloved girl, and the teacher wants to bless us!"
