Chapter 1332: Chang Xuefei who is not afraid of the cold

Hearing that the situation of the Antarctic expedition was so critical, Li Xiaogang couldn't help but say with some complaints: "Chief, why didn't you tell me this earlier?" The leader smiled bitterly and said, "I see that you are struggling with the matter of convincing the commander of the eight military regions, and this is just an expert's estimate and speculation, so I didn't tell you." Li Xiaogang shook his head and said, "There are also priorities for things. This Antarctica is at stake for the fate of all mankind. If the Antarctic is finished, the entire human race will also perish, and even if I convince the commanders of the eight military regions at that time, what's the point? ”

The leader frowned and muttered, "It's not as strict as you say, right?" Experts say that even if the ice in Antarctica melts completely, it will only reduce the land area by 10 percent, and it seems that it will not be so strict that the entire human race will be destroyed......" Li Xiaogang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Those experts are just wishful thinking. The fragile Antarctica is indeed responsible for the survival of the entire human race. Chief, you don't know, this whole world can survive by relying on an energy transmission belt that extends to every corner of the earth. This energy transmission belt provides all the energy for the entire world to survive. ”

Seeing the deep confusion on the leader's face, Li Xiaogang further explained: "In fact, this energy transmission belt is composed of two ocean currents, one cold and one warm. Everyone knows how important the impact of ocean currents is on the entire planet. Without ocean currents, the fish would be extinct, and the sea would stop flowing, turning into a huge stinky pond. When a warm ocean current reaches Antarctica, when it condenses, the density of the sea increases, and it becomes heavier and sinks, forming a cold ocean current, which continues to flow with abundant plankton and nutrients. So the South Pole is actually the engine of this energy transmission belt, and it is the most critical link. If there is a problem in Antarctica, this huge energy transmission belt will break and stop. At that time, not only will the sea level rise, but the life in the sea will also become extinct due to lack of food and nutrients. Dead fish accumulate in seawater and then decay, producing a variety of highly toxic gases that are dispersed in the atmosphere. When the time comes, once humans inhale such air, it will mean death! ”

The leader never dreamed that the problem of Antarctica would be so strict, he looked at Li Xiaogang blankly, and muttered, "You...... Aren't you sensational? Li Xiaogang smiled bitterly and said: "Chief, you should know me very well, when have I ever been alarmist?" "That'...... So what kind of energy transmission belt can still be saved? The leader asked, nervous. Li Xiaogang frowned and said in a condensed voice: "As long as the South Pole remains cold, this conveyor belt can continue to operate." It's just that the glaciers in Antarctica are melting on a large scale, which undoubtedly shows that Antarctica is constantly warming. Just finding out the cause, changing it, and stopping Antarctica from continuing to warm should prevent catastrophe from happening. ”

Lin Chaoran, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly snorted at this time and said, "Do you still need to check the reason?" At present, all countries in the world are developing their economies at the cost of destroying the environment, especially those developed countries, who emit n times more greenhouse gases per year than developing countries. If these developed countries are not made aware of the horrors of environmental destruction, the Antarctic will be in danger every day. Li Xiaogang shook his head and said: "Now that most countries in the world have realized the importance of environmental protection and have strengthened supervision in this regard, the shape will gradually improve."

And with the amount of gas emitted by humans at the moment, it is not possible to cause such a large-scale melting of glaciers, and I think there must be another reason for this. The leader nodded and said, "Xiao Gang, no matter what, I can rest assured that you go to the South Pole in person." ”

After a pause, the leader continued: "Also, the expedition team has lost contact with the rear for three days, and the experts in the rear speculate that their supplies and equipment must be extremely short now, so a large amount of equipment has been prepared in advance to be transported to Antarctica. It's just that they can't find the current location of the expedition, so they can't make the trip for a long time. Xiaogang, do you have a way to find the expedition team? "Finding the location of the expedition team was really easy for Li Xiaogang. The fire dragon ball that Li Xiaogang gave to Chang Xuefei at the beginning could completely indicate Chang Xuefei's location for Li Xiaogang. Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Although there was only one word, this word made the leader so excited that he almost didn't jump up with joy, and said in a loud voice: "This is really wonderful! Now that you can find their location, go with the supply convoy and show them the way. Li Xiaogang frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "The supply transport team is too slow, and by the time the supplies are delivered, Chang Xuefei and the others may have starved to death and froze to death." So, you let them bring the supplies here, and I'll bring them to them. ”

Otherwise, the transport team that delivered supplies and equipment to the Antarctic expedition team was equipped with the most advanced and fastest transport aircraft in the world, and the leader really couldn't imagine how Li Xiaogang could do it faster than them. But seeing Li Xiaogang is full of confidence. Thinking of all the miracles in him, the leader didn't think about it for long before agreeing to his request. After a while, three loaded tall trucks drove to the destination designated by Li Xiaogang. Three trucks are loaded with all sorts of things, including food, medicine, all kinds of research equipment, and even a few snow jeeps.

Looking at this thing as tall as a mountain, the leader asked with some concern: "Xiao Gang, there are so many things, can you do it?" Li Xiaogang smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hands, the Qiankun Ring suddenly emitted several divine lights, enveloping all the items in it. By the time the leader came to his senses, everything had been packed into his ring. The leader was stunned for a while, and then he gave Li Xiaogang a thumbs up and exclaimed: "Your ring is really amazing!" I was a little skeptical that he would be able to fit my entire base camp into it. ”

Li Xiaogang just chuckled a few times, said goodbye to the leader and Lin Chaoran, and disappeared in front of the two of them, teleporting in the direction of Antarctica... Antarctica, a white continent covered in ice and snow, is a dazzling white color as far as the eye can see. The bitter and ferocious cold wind rolled up the snow on the ground from time to time, flying between the heavens and the earth, making it very difficult for people to even open their eyes. Ice and snow storms like this are commonplace in Antarctica, but at the same time they are terrifying. Just three days ago, Chang Xuefei and nine other scientists on the Antarctic expedition were searching for a suspected heat source for the melting of Antarctic ice when a huge, shuddering polar storm struck. This storm is even more terrifying than a typhoon, not only because it is stronger, but also because it can freeze any liquid into the extreme cold of ice in an instant.

Antarctica's climate is unpredictable, and predicting when a storm will come is a dream. Fortunately, Chang Xuefei and their luck were very good, and not long after the storm swept in, they found a sheltered place and set up a tent to protect them from the wind and cold. The tent is made of special materials that keep out the cold and is large enough for ten people to huddle into one tent. The temperature in the interior of Antarctica is usually about minus 40 degrees, but when the burial storm comes, the temperature will drop by about 10 degrees to minus 50 degrees.

Many people probably don't understand the concept of minus 50 degrees. When the temperature reaches -50 degrees, it means that your urine will freeze into ice in less than a second after it leaves your body and reaches the ground. Therefore, in the ice and snow of minus 50 degrees, it is better to endure urinating or to endure it. It was freezing outside, but the tent was much milder, but the temperature was also around minus 5 degrees, and the expedition members had to wear thick down jackets to feel a little warmer. So looking around, these scientists in the tent are dressed as if they were cotton bales, and even so, they have to curl themselves up in a ball as much as possible to prevent the heat from losing too quickly.

However, among these people, Chang Xuefei is an exception, compared to what others wear, she wears really little and pitiful. For example, if someone else is wearing a winter coat, she is wearing a bikini. Even each other can vaguely see her slender figure. Mikiko is one of the only two female members of the expedition, the island is about the same age as Chang Xuefei, not only is she very beautiful, but she is also an accomplished polar climate expert, and she can be regarded as God's favorite. Because there were only two girls in the team, and they had similar knowledge, they quickly got close and became good sisters.

Mikiko was wrapped in a thick blanket, and even so, she was still shivering, and sneezing one after another. Just as Mikiko was complaining about the weather and asking God when the damn storm would stop, she turned her head sharply, only to find Chang Xuefei next to her, typing on her laptop, and asked with some surprise: "Xuefei, are you crazy?" It's going to freeze your hands in such cold weather! As he spoke, he hurriedly took off his gloves and held Chang Xuefei's hand, wanting to warm her up. But holding Chang Xuefei's hand, Mikiko was even more surprised to find that Chang Xuefei's hand was not cold at all, but hotter than hers.

Mikiko's eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost, and she was about to ask Chang Xuefei what was going on, but she found Chang Xuefei's thin clothes. In her experience, Chang Xuefei wears such a thin dress, and the chance of being frozen to death is at least 50%. But looking at Chang Xuefei's expression, Mikiko found that Chang Xuefei didn't seem to feel the cold at all, and her expression was as if she was staying in a heated room, which seemed very comfortable and comfortable.

Chang Xuefei tried to pull her hand out of Mikiko's hand several times, but she didn't succeed, so she couldn't help but frown lightly and said: "Mikiko, you let go of me, I'm trying to find a way to contact the command, if we can't tell them our current situation in time, our situation will be even more dangerous." ”sjgsd0318
