Chapter 167: To the End of the World
The scientific expedition team took the Ocean No. 6, which is a polar research ship integrating polar icebreakers and scientific research ships, although they were not able to sit on the most well-known Snow Dragon scientific research ship, but everyone was still very excited. 23us
The members of the expedition team boarded the ship with large bags and small bags, and the deck was full of containers, and this time everyone would stay on the ship for two days, passing through the Drake Passage in the middle, and finally arriving at the Antarctic Peninsula, where China has set up four research stations in Antarctica, and the Great Wall Station is here.
Each person will be issued a card when boarding the ship, and the members of the scientific expedition team will need to carry this card with them every time they get on and off the ship. This card allows the boat owner to keep track of the guest's boarding or login details at any time, and it is also an electronic key card to enter each person's room.
Bai Yujing finally took off his mask, stood on the boat, looked at the endless ocean, gradually left the southernmost city in the world, set sail, and always had an extremely heroic feeling, as if everyone would take this ship to the edge of the world, all the way to the ends of the earth!
"So you look like this, you look good! Why do you wear a mask all the time? My classmates and I always thought you were an ugly bastard!" Bai Yujing followed the voice and looked over, and found that it was the little girl who had been chattering at the airport before.
Bai Yujing took off the mask hanging on his ears, smiled at her and nodded, and quickly saw her blushing, Bai Yujing changed the topic: "Did you also come out to see the scenery?"
The girl nodded: "I studied oceanography, but I rarely see the ocean, especially the ocean here, close to Antarctica, natural phenomena, properties and their changes are different from other places, and even related to the global ecological environment, marine biological resources and freshwater resources, I want to see it through my eyes!"
Bai Yujing said with a smile: "Haven't you seen much of the sea when you study oceanography?
The girl nodded: "Haven't you heard of the phrase "Eighty percent of the work of archaeology is done in the library, and the same goes for oceanography!"
"Raiders of the Lost Ark?" Bai Yujing said immediately.
The girl was pleasantly surprised: "You've seen it too!"
The two glanced at each other and laughed, and the girl looked left and right at Bai Yujing's slightly delicate face: "I always feel as if I have seen you somewhere!"
Bai Yujing stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Bai Yujing!"
The girl immediately remembered: "It's you, wow, I didn't expect to see you here, you, how did you end up in the logistics team?
Bai Yujing smiled: "I want to go to Antarctica to have a look, so I asked someone to mix up a quota!"
Bai Yujing's lie is not convincing, there are many ways to go to Antarctica, and it is too troublesome and taboo to sneak into the scientific expedition team to enter Antarctica, but the girl is not deeply involved in the world, but she didn't think much about it, and nodded: "My name is Feng Mingming!"
"Feng Mingming?"
"No, it's the one with the cursive prefix, and the name of the next name means the bud of the tea tree!" Feng Mingming immediately explained to Bai Yujing.
For the first two hours, the members of the expedition team were very excited, either on the deck or behind the glass to observe the scenery outside, but after two hours, most of them began to experience seasickness, and people kept returning to their rooms and lying on their beds to resist this uncomfortable situation.
After the ship arrived at Drake, almost everyone was a little unbearable, only Bai Yujing, Liu Xinwu and Zhou Jun were left intact and able to stand on the deck safely, and the others were almost vomited, and the dizzy station was unstable, and their faces were pale, and the upper deck was also blocked at this time, and they were not allowed to enter, and the same was true for the deck, but it is estimated that no one was in the mood to go over to see the sea.
Drake Strait is the widest and deepest strait in the world, with a maximum depth of 5,248 meters.
The wind and waves here are high, and they can even reach more than 10 meters high, and the boat is swaying in the big waves, and it is the first time that it feels so big and small. When the boat passes, it will shake violently, and even many things in the room will be overturned.
Bai Yujing sat in the room, and it felt as if he was sitting on a swing, the whole boat was swinging, and the bumps were unimaginable, and it was no wonder that most people couldn't stand it.
At this time, Liu Xinwu pushed open Bai Yujing's door: "Said to Bai Yujing, it's time to eat, everyone gathers in the restaurant, do you want to come over!"
Bai Yujing immediately said: "Definitely yes, I'll come over right away!"
went out, because everyone here was from the scientific expedition team, so Bai Yujing found a particularly funny situation, almost everyone was walking against the wall, grinding, and couldn't even stand steadily, even so, this is still good, some just lie on the bed, don't want to move, and don't even have the intention of eating.
At this time, a person steadily passed by Bai Yujing, Bai Yujing immediately looked over, and found that it was Professor Zhu Wei Zhu, at this moment her face was as usual, as if this bumpy ship did not have the slightest effect on her, which surprised Bai Yujing, her physique has been strengthened twice, and she knows how strong it is, Liu Xinwu has traveled back and forth between the two places many times, and Zhou Jun is an expert in polar survival, but she didn't expect that a woman like her would be able to be unaffected at all.
Most of the staff in the restaurant live on the sea all year round, there is still no problem, at a glance, the dying are basically members of the scientific expedition team, Bai Yujing took the plate and cooked the meal, found a place to sit down, facing the window Bai Yujing can see the six or seven meters high ocean above the sea for a while, impacting the boat.
Layer by layer and wave after wave, constantly surging, but Ocean No. 6 stood still, except for a little stronger sense of turbulence, still moving steadily, riding the wind and waves, sailing in this vast sea.
Liu Xinwu and Zhou Jun also sat down next to and opposite Bai Yujing in turn, Liu Xinwu looked at Bai Yujing: "Your body is okay! Originally, I was a little worried about whether there was a problem with your side in Antarctica, but it didn't seem to be a big problem!"
Zhou Jun asked: "I heard from the crew that this ship will arrive at the Antarctic Peninsula tomorrow, so we should be able to get off the ship tomorrow!"
Bai Yujing already knew about this situation, so he didn't ask, but Liu Xinwu said: "No, the Antarctic Peninsula is the Great Wall Station, our destination is not over there, when we get there, most of the personnel of the scientific expedition team will disembark, and we will stay on the ship for another three days, from the Atlantic Ocean all the way around the Indian Ocean, and finally land in the Lasman Hills of the Antarctic Continent, where is our ultimate goal, the Zhongshan Station of the Antarctic Research Station!"
"Originally, Professor Zhu Wei was also going to get off at the Great Wall Station, but because of our plan, she would go to Zhongshan Station with us, and she would stay at sea for five days, and I didn't know if she could support herself as a woman......" Liu Xinwu immediately saw Zhu Wei passing by the three of them after eating, and immediately took back the words in his mouth.
Bai Yujing thought that he was going to stay on this ship for five days, which was really boring, but as the leader of this expedition, of course, he couldn't reveal this emotion, and nodded at Liu Xinwu: "Okay, the other member, the doctor of painting named Wen Feng, will also be waiting for us in the Zhongshan team?"
Liu Xinwu nodded: "That's right, this time we are looking for something, so we must have him to help us lock the location, he has been doing topographic mapping in Antarctica for many years, we definitely need his help! By the way, the white collar, you haven't said yet, what is our mission this time?"
Bai Yujing immediately said: "When we get to Zhongshan Station, let's have a meeting together, I will tell you, and then we will talk about this action and work in detail!"
Liu Xinwu nodded: "Okay!"
Zhou Jun also looked at Bai Yujing: "You two are so mysterious, I'm starting to be curious!"
"Zhou Jun, you have a wealth of experience in survival in Antarctica, if something goes wrong on the way, we still have to rely on your help!" Bai Yujing said with a smile.
The ship finally arrived at the Antarctic Peninsula two days later, but it was completely different from the completely frozen continent that Bai Yujing imagined, the ground was directly exposed in many places, not completely covered by ice and snow, and although the weather was cold, it was not unbearable.
A large number of scientific research stations are gathered here, including Palmer Station in the United States, Rothera Station and Faraday Station in the United Kingdom, President Frei Station in Chile, and so on, nearly 20 research stations are crowded on this peninsula.
A large number of scientific expedition members got off the ship here in turn, many people put on it for two days, the rice did not enter, the people lost a circle, and when they got off the boat, they were relieved, Bai Yujing also observed the Great Wall Station, many houses gathered together, most of them are two-story buildings, it feels more like a small town, red, white, and blue houses are intertwined, and the red flag flutters on the roof, and it is still proud to be able to see the red flag of the motherland at the end of this world.
However, everyone else got off the boat, but they and the others had to stay on for three days, which made Li Xiang and Liu Hai, who knew the truth, almost didn't fall into tears, and they were not much better than the people in the scientific expedition team in the past two days!
