Chapter Twenty-Nine: Kunlun

When the plane flies over Kunlun Station, it feels as if it is swimming in space. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the area with the highest visibility, the lowest air float index, the lowest average annual wind speed, the lowest annual rainfall, and the lowest number of organisms per square meter on Earth.

In other words, this is the closest area on Earth to the environment of outer space.

As you can see from above, there are a total of seven container-like buildings below, which is very different from Zhongshan Station.

After the Antarctic Affairs Committee approved the Kunlun Station plan, the site was quickly built.

However, the results of the construction here are only temporary when you look at them with the naked eye.

Taishan Station, the largest inland research station, is under construction, and Taishan Station will be a huge flying saucer-shaped single building, which can accommodate scientific research personnel and equipment far larger than Kunlun Station.

From this point of view, the construction of Kunlun Station is simply to occupy a pit position in the four major locations of the pole, magnetic point, high point and freezing point.

However, the construction of Taishan Station is still very long, and before that, Kunlun Station has to shoulder a lot of scientific research tasks.

The Kunlun station is built with high-strength steel, which can theoretically ensure the normal operation of minus 190 degrees Celsius, a temperature that does not exist in the natural environment on the earth.

To put it bluntly, this is also an experiment with aerospace metal.

There are a total of seven boxes in the entire Kunlun station, which are divided into many workshops, but this is not visible from the outside.

As the aircraft gradually lowered, it was clearly visible that the flat ground in front of the Kunlun station had been built into a permanent flat for parking vehicles, as well as a radar monitoring station and an aviation control tower.

When the plane landed, it marked that it had reached the highest point in Antarctica, and it is also the closest ground on Earth to space.

Standing here, if you are a person of faith, then you will feel that you can touch God by raising your hand.

When the scientific expedition personnel saw that the plane was stationed, they immediately drove over.

Boxes containing live specimens cannot be exposed to such cold conditions for long periods of time.

The plane has been specially modified and has a hatch in the tail, much like the usual transport aircraft in the movies.

Or in other words, the MA600 was originally designed according to the military transport aircraft, and the civilian version was a castrated version.

Fang Hong turned on the live broadcast and watched the specimens being sent to the car one by one.

As soon as he got off the plane, Fang Hong saw the person in charge of Kunlun Station, not the stationmaster, but the person in charge of the equipment - Professor Gu.

Professor Gu and Fang Hong shook hands: "Hello." ”

Fang Hong was flattered: "Hello, hello. ”

Professor Gu nodded: "Thank you for your contribution to the scientific expedition of the motherland, the reason why you came here this time has already been instructed to come over, and I fully support it." ”

Fang Hong nodded: "Thank you." ”

"But there is one point, the next scientific research, can not be filmed. ”

Fang Hong smiled: "Originally, my adventure did not include this part. ”

Professor Gu looked at his watch: "You can rest at Kunlun Station for twenty-one hours, and we will leave tomorrow morning, we have provided you with professional equipment and the Antarctic car, good luck." ”

In fact, the reason why this venture was supported by the Antarctic expedition or the State Oceanic Administration was because it was a record-breaking opportunity.

There have been many times in history that people have succeeded in winning the South Pole by various means such as walking, but without exception, they have all bypassed the Ice Dome A, where Kunlun Station is located, because it is an unapproachable place.

Whoever passes by here will surely die.

However, Fang Hong took the journey from the high point downward, and there was no need to climb the high point, and the difficulty was reduced a lot.

"We are currently at 81 degrees south latitude, 1,000 and 60 kilometers from the South Pole, and my plan is to travel to the South Pole in 14 days and complete the whole adventure. ”

"Brother Gun, there are no 1,000 and 60 kilometers from 81 degrees south latitude to the South Pole, and there are only 111 kilometers between each degree of latitude?"

Fang Hong smiled: "You are talking about the average, I am talking about the actual distance. In fact, the Earth is an oblate sphere rather than a positive sphere, so the distance between each latitude between the equators is closer, and the distance between each latitude of the two levels is greater. It is indeed 1,006 kilometers from Kunlun Station to the South Pole Station of the United States, and it should be said that it is 1,066 kilometers and 720 meters. ”

In a way, this land is isolated from the rest of the world.

The Antarctic expedition made history by making seven expansion-type expeditions to the summit of Ice Dome A from the ground.

From the ground, it is unthinkable to go to other scientific research stations.

Tang Yixin, who had just entered the live broadcast room, brushed the barrage: "Ah, have you arrived at Kunlun Station?"

"Sister Jiu, you don't know, do you?"

Fang Hong also responded after seeing it: "It's Kunlun Station, you haven't been in the live broadcast room for a few days." ”

"I was sent to study by the newspaper, and the newspaper gave me the task to come back and report it, but I didn't expect to miss out on the new discovery. ”

The melancholy Chubby who often haunts the live broadcast room: "Brother Gun's adventure is so interesting, I missed the first half, isn't there a second half." ”

"Ninety-ninety. ”

"It's still one hundred and one hundred, can you talk well. ”

"That's, that's, the paralyzing input method, the old typo. ”

"Brother Gun, do you have anything to prepare?"

Fang Hong smiled: "Of course I have to prepare, I have to prepare high-calorie food, half a month, and some small equipment." ”

When Fang Hong arrived at the kitchen of Kunlun Station, everyone knew what the high-calorie food Fang Hong was talking about.

Instant noodles, or should I say fried noodles, are all kinds of fried noodles.

"When you make noodles, you have to be strong, otherwise it will take up too much space. After pulling the noodles, boil them, then soak them in cold water, filter the water and fry them dry. ”

In order to save space, Fang Hong also did one more step, that is, to press the surface tightly.

"I'll go, Brother Gun, why don't you just bring a box of instant noodles. ”

Fang Hong was helpless: "It takes up too much space, it's better to do it yourself, and in order to have hot water, I have to carry some military heating kits." ”

Tent equipment alone is troublesome enough, a lot of food and water, and it also takes up a lot of space.

The so-called Antarctic vehicle is not a big truck, but a small vehicle, and the fuel to be carried by the vehicle itself also takes up a lot of space.

After frying the noodles, Fang Hong began to divide the packing, and then made some oil cakes, dehydrated vegetables, and dried fruits.

"You won't like instant noodles from the fridge. ”

While making dehydrated vegetables, Fang Hong also met Qiu Qing's colleague Wang Zheng, a biologist who currently works at Kunlun Station.

Privately, Wang Zheng told Fang Hong that his job was to take a step forward in Qiu Qing's research on soilless vegetables, detaching himself from artificial heat sources and using sunlight greenhouses to build a more advanced vegetable cultivation base.

But before that, we have to come up with LED cold, hot and light cultivation technology.

Before the break, Professor Gu specially took Fang Hong to familiarize himself with the vehicle, but he did not broadcast it live.

"Here, here, and here, are the data monitoring instruments, and every time you take a break, you have to make sure they're working. ”

In fact, this time, the Antarctic scientific expedition team also hopes to use Fang Hong's adventure to obtain first-hand climate data on the scale of untouchable places.

"This is the oil port, the ribs are oily, here is the air conditioning port, the two ports can't be opened at the same time, they will explode. I also remind you that this is a design flaw, although the electronic device lock is installed, but no one knows if it will break down, you must remember it clearly. ”

Turn on the air conditioner without refueling, refueling without turning on the air conditioner.

Professor Gu patted Fang Hong on the shoulder: "German-made cars, in recent years, their investment in scientific research has been decreasing, these equipment is already very poor, but unfortunately, if you challenge this adventure two years later, you can use our independent property rights of the car, which is much more high-tech than this one." ”

After knocking on the side, Fang Hong realized that the car that was being tested in China adopted a tow box structure, with a load of up to five tons, a tank track, a spacecraft cold-resistant system, automated driving, and Beidou satellite authority, and it was said that the speed could reach 65 kilometers, which was twice as fast as the fastest Antarctic research vehicle at present.

However, there was no blessing to bear, Fang Hongde drove an old-fashioned German scientific research vehicle more than 20 years ago to challenge the White Terror journey.
