The hull is 150 meters long, the width of the ship is more than 20 meters, the middle is equipped with two crimped mechanical torsion arms, and the front section is equipped with a helipad, on which a polar version of the Mi-8 helicopter is carried. On the side of the hull is painted white on a red background with three large characters
Pathfinder!
This is the name of both the polar research ship and the entire Antarctic expedition.
There was no grand ceremony, and after more than 20 members of the expedition group, including Jiang Chen, boarded the ship, the Pathfinder sailed away from the harbor in a low-key manner, crossed the equator, and headed south. It wasn't until all the crew boarded the ship that the crew were surprised to find that they were on the same ship as the famous chairman of the Future People Group.
"My name is Jiang Chen, and obviously you already know. You guys just work normally, and I don't have any other meaning on the boat, just take a tailwind boat to Antarctica. ”
The ship opened, and the head of the delegation held a simple introduction meeting, which all the crew members attended, and Jiang Chen did not engage in that special, and made a simple self-introduction at the meeting. With that, he turned and went back to his room, leaving behind the stunned crowd in the cabin.
After the meeting, the four girls who were engaged in measurement got together and went to the cafeteria to eat.
On the way, the four girls quickly gossiped.
"Eh, that...... He's really Jiang Chen, right?"
"The one on TV?"
"The chairman of the Future People Group has a number of large companies with a market value of 100 billion...... But why is he on our ship?" a female recorder covered her mouth, her eyes widening in surprise.
"In the same boat with the chairman, oh my God, this, this is simply the unfolding of a Korean drama!" said another girl with little stars in her eyes.
"Wake up, Qianqian, it's time to take medicine. The best friend standing next to her handed the lunch box to her seriously.
"I hate it! Die!" The girl who was called Qianqian, blushing, slapped her best friend hard.
……
From the equator to the South Pole, it is nearly 10,000 kilometers, and at the maximum speed of 18 knots of the Pathfinder, it will take about two weeks.
It was only then that Jiang Chen realized what a wrong decision it was not to bring Aisha with him. With Aisha by his side, at least he doesn't have to face lonely and boring nights. Like now, the only fun he had all day was lying in the bedroom with a phantom helmet and playing online games with the II of the quantum communication satellite.
The number of female creatures on the entire expedition ship was pitiful. First of all, the soldiers of the Transwarp Trade are all men, and secondly, most of these engineering-born scientific research workers are also men. The only four female researchers were quite interesting to him, but Jiang Chen was not interested in exchanging feelings with them.
Playing online games along the way, blowing the sea breeze, this time is also fast.
Although he has an administrator account, Jiang Chen didn't use it, he just registered an obscene archer and played from level 1 to the top of the game. I have to say, this kind of gameplay is quite fun. Especially when someone pretended to be forced in front of him, he secretly opened a hanging, pulled out an enchanted arrow, and killed it in one shot.
It's a sour feeling.
After playing for more than two weeks, I met a few interesting netizens, but Jiang Chen never made his identity clear. When the Pathfinder approached Antarctica, he probably put the game aside, and there was no chance to touch it.
In the last three days, the temperature began to get colder, and by the time the ice floes began to be visible on the water, the Pathfinder expedition was very close to Antarctica. Even with Jiang Chen's physique, he couldn't bear it a little, so he honestly changed into thick cold-proof clothes.
These winter suits are all made by the Sixth Block Garment Factory, and they look similar to down jackets, but they are stronger than down jackets. The sponge-like cotton block is sandwiched with a warming wire that can be adjusted by the touch screen in the bowl. When the clothes were distributed, those scientific researchers couldn't put it down, and they couldn't wait to change it on the spot.
Every time I go to the polar regions, it's a nightmare, and I can't wait to freeze my nose when I have a runny nose, no matter which country I go to. But if you have this cold-proof clothing, although the snot will still be frozen, at least the body is much more comfortable.
Luckily, I didn't encounter any difficult glaciers along the way.
The Pathfinder rounded Scott Island and sailed smoothly into the Ross Sea, heading to the U.S. Harriet Station for a simple resupply. Logically speaking, these stations do not sell supplies to the outside world in principle, but there are exceptions.
Captain Marshall Keller is obviously not the first time he has made a trip to Antarctica, and he is familiar with the situation.
"Here, helping each other is the unwritten rule. The sea is prone to freezing, and anyone can be delayed by a supply ship. If you have extra supplies on hand, selling them to someone else is equivalent to saving someone's life. Of course, the price may be a little more expensive. ”
After the resupply was completed, an American, wrapped as thick as a polar bear, lay on the railing and greeted the people on board.
"Hey, guys, where did you get your clothes? I mean...... Isn't it really cold in such thin clothes?"
When he shouted this, he used an Ohio accent, and it happened that there was an immigrant from Ohio in Jiang Chen's inspection group, so he shouted with a smile.
"Haha, don't say it's cold, wearing this thing is like wearing an air conditioner!"
As he spoke, the Ohio man also proudly pulled the logo on his chest, afraid that the fellow would not be able to see the brand of his clothes.
I saw that on it, there were five big characters of [Future People Light Industry] printed.
Well, these five big characters were typed by the garment factory in the sixth block. However, this so-called future light industry is still in the concept stage, and Jiang Chen has been hesitant to enter the less lucrative field of light industry.
The man standing on the other side of the Hallett research station smacked his lips and looked at the clothes on the new national expedition team, his eyes full of envy.
Although he can't recognize Chinese characters, I'm afraid that no American can't recognize the three big characters "Future People" now. Don't you know? Turn on your phone and you'll know you. Future Man 1.0 has a terrifying market share in smart phones, and Future Man has almost become synonymous with high technology.
Envy is envy, this thing can't be envied.
Watching the Pathfinder drive away, he shook his head, swayed his legs buried in the snow, and walked in the direction of the hut.
If it's an expedition to the pole, most tourists choose the Ross Sea as their landing point. Because this is the southernmost sea area on earth that ships can reach, it is also the traditional route for human beings to reach the Antarctic continent and go to the South Pole through ships.
However, Jiang Chen and the others were not here to challenge the world's extremes, but to explore the treasures of the Third Reich. So after completing the resupply, the Pathfinder sailed directly out of the Ross Sea, along the coast of George V, towards Wilkes......
However, unbeknownst to everyone, shortly after they left the Harriet Observatory, a man wrapped in a thick down jacket walked to the back of the Observatory and pulled out a satellite phone.
The lips in the shadows spat out a curling white mist.
"They've ......" -
(I took my temperature in the morning, although the temperature was high, but the state was much better, thank you for your relationship!Let me be a little proud, Morning Star, I finally didn't break my promise, and the fourth more broke out! Wait for two days to get better, let's continue to explode!)
That, so ...... Let me weakly ask for a monthly pass. Our monthly ticket list has been exploded, brothers ask for support!
If you really don't have a ticket, at least add our official account.
Click to add the official account, look for "Morningstar ll", and search for "Morningstar" to see. The number of attention to this thing is really important to the author.,Students who have WeChat still hope to be able to support.,Just move your fingers.,No money.。 Thank you very much!)
