Chapter 170: Another Expedition

At this moment, in addition to the moment when Bai Yujing and others are excitedly planning their next move, McMurdo Station (米国), located in the south of Ross Island in McMurdo Bay, ushered in the last batch of guests before the winter in Antarctica.

A helicopter was parked directly in the open space in front of McMurdo's station, and the huge wind pressure brought by the propeller blew the snow on the ground all over the sky, Catherine and a few people walked down from the helicopter, and couldn't help but sigh deeply: "It's so cold here! I hate this bloated costume!"

The two people behind him didn't dare to speak, this woman is a black widow, and her reputation in the bureau is very big, obviously she belongs to the State Secret Operations Department, but she never listens to the orders of the director, but directly contacts a deputy director, and no one dares to offend her easily!

"You guys, I'm Sam the caretaker here, who are you?" Sam is a fat white man, probably not too young, but with a baby face.

Catherine took out a document from her pocket, Sam looked at it, and found that it was a person belonging to the CIA's State Secret Operations Service, which was the most unoffending department, Sam immediately lifted his spirits: "Hello, sir, do you have any instructions for coming over this time?"

"Let's find a place to live first, it's a ship and a plane, and it's so cold, it's a terrible place!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

After Catherine walked into the base, people came and went in the passage and kept passing by, everyone took a deep look at Catherine when they passed, this place is more wolves and less meat, and she can't do anything except work on weekdays.

In the deepest part of the passage, a handsome young man was waiting there, with short blond hair and slightly gray pupils that were very eye-catching, and immediately stood up straight when he saw Catherine coming: "Hello, I'm Paul, who has been sent to follow the orders of the chief, please instruct the commander!"

Catherine stopped, looked at Paul, seemed very satisfied, and a smile leaked from her face: "Mr. Paul, I remember saying that I needed a guide, what did you do before?"

Paul immediately said: "I am the driver and guide, and I was mainly responsible for leading scientific researchers to conduct expeditions in Antarctica!"

Catherine nodded, pushed open the door and entered a hall where there were quite a few people working, "Very good, we need your help, by the way, Mike, how about I put you in charge of contacting?"

An uncle named Mike behind him immediately said: "The target has reached Zhongshan Station in the Lasman Hills, and I have contacted the two staff stations of the nearby Davis Station to closely monitor the actions of Zhongshan Station, and satellite monitoring will always pay attention to local movements, once the other party moves, our side will receive information." ”

Catherine turned around: "I don't remember that there is an expedition station like Davis Station in my country!"

When Catherine came, she still did a very rigorous research and investigation work, Mike nodded, and explained to Catherine: "It's not a research station in our country, but it belongs to Australia, but we have two supernumeraries there, so ......"

Catherine patted Mike on the shoulder with satisfaction: "You did a very good job, okay, everyone has worked hard along the way, have a good rest today, and start work tomorrow!"

---------------

Bai Yujing knocked on the door of the stationmaster of Zhongshan Station, ready to chat with Nan Yong, even the stationmaster's room does not seem to be very wide, and it is similar to theirs, but Bai Yujing and their rooms are all two-person rooms, and the bed is on and off, it feels like a storage room, and the stationmaster is a single room, but because there is no one in the entire base now, the double room is also a one-person residence.

"Hello, South Stationmaster, I have something I want to talk to you about!"

Nan Yong brought Bai Yujing in, Nan Yong, who was about forty years old, was at his most energetic, with a big beard and a beard that looked like Li Kui, very arrogant, "What's the problem, just say it!"

Bai Yujing nodded: "That's the case, because it's about to enter winter, I checked the recent weather forecast, there is no bad weather, so I want to set off as soon as possible, we are going to arrive at Kunlun Station first, so I want to ask you about the situation!"

Nan Yong nodded: "Although I really want to warn you that you must not go out at this time, and you are still going to the Antarctic Inland Circle, but I know that it is useless to say it, I can only support your work, what do you need help, although I have been given the greatest authorization and will give you the greatest help, whether it is manpower or materials!"

Bai Yujing immediately said: "First of all, we need two snowmobiles, enough supplies and food for the round trip, and some special items and instruments, this time they were sent along with the scientific research ship, this is the list, and I want you to help us prepare it!"

Nan Yong took it and looked at it carefully, raised his head and said, "No problem, I will help you prepare it tomorrow morning, we just have three snowmobiles, but the diesel fuel is a little insufficient at the moment, but I will give priority to supplying you, by the way, when are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow!" Bai Yujing had already confirmed with Liu Xinwu and the others, since they had already come over, they should not delay the time, and if they set off one day earlier, they would be able to complete the goal one day earlier, and it would not be a good thing for them to drag it out.

Nan Yong was surprised: "So urgent, then I will arrange it right now, and I must not delay your work!"

Bai Yujing stood up and shook hands with Nan Yong: "Then trouble comrades, I still have something to ask, is the stationmaster familiar with the situation at Kunlun Station?"

Nan Yong nodded: "Familiar, I also went there three months ago, and when the garrison of Kunlun Station evacuated, they still passed by me!"

Bai Yujing immediately asked, "Then can you ask how many supplies are still in Kunlun Station?"

Nan Yong thought for a while: "It should be enough for ten people to use the supplies for half a month, if you want food, you need a little more, but the oil is not enough, the whole building is supplied by a generator room, all the heating, electrical appliances, equipment, are inseparable from oil, the temperature of the inner circle of the Antarctic may reach minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius in winter, without heating, it is difficult for people to survive!"

Bai Yujing nodded: "Okay, I understand!"

Bai Yujing took the time to chat with the staff of Zhongshan Station for a while, to understand the situation in Antarctica, but what he heard more was the difficulty of work, many people thought that coming to Antarctica was a very wonderful thing, you can play around, see penguins, seals, snow mountains, auroras, etc., and when you come over, you will find that they are not here to travel, but to work, most of the time will be brought in the base, absolutely not allowed to move around, life is monotonous, rarely see outsiders.

Bai Yujing sighed a little, just returned to the room, but found Liu Xinwu waiting at the door, throwing a hot water bottle to Bai Yujing, Bai Yujing was puzzled: "Isn't there heating?"

Liu Xinwu shook his head: "Because of the shortage of materials, so at night, the heating will be turned off, and at this time you had better use everything that can be used for heating!

"No wonder there's no one living here!"
