Located in the Arctic Ocean, there is another Norwegian dependency, that is, the Norwegian tourist resort, located in the Svalbard archipelago between the Barents Sea and the Greenland Sea, which is also the final destination of Ye Chen's trip. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After entering the Arctic Circle, the temperature near the Beihai began to slowly drop, and the jacket that Ye Chen bought in advance was useful. Standing on deck, the chilly wind from the heart of the Arctic Ocean is biting even in July. And when you look out into the sea from the fishing boat, you will often find some ice floe in the water, and Captain Sam also sent a sailor to observe the situation at the bow of the boat, and quickly change direction once he finds the ice floe.

Ye Chen also helped Moder to observe, but he used his spiritual power to find the ice floes in the water from a distance, and then tell Moder about the situation.

The cold temperatures finally discouraged Tom from going to sea, and these days Tom can't help but jump into the water in a wetsuit whenever the fishing boat stops. Professor Cooper was so angry that he always said that Tom was delaying his trip, but Tom didn't care about that, he could say whatever he wanted, and no one could stop him from doing his job.

The North Sea will eventually arrive in Longyearbyen, the capital of Svalbard, and after a night's rest in the city, the group will board a research ship contacted by Professor Cooper to explore the Svar Islands. Svalbard is located at about 75 degrees north latitude, and 60% of the island's territory is covered by glaciers, so it is easier to explore Svalbard with the help of the expedition team.

Most visitors to Longyearbyen come by plane, and rarely arrive directly by boat. There is a lot of ice lurking in the waters around the islands, many of which have drifted from the center of the Arctic Ocean. There is only a small patch of ice on the surface of the water, but it can be as big as a mountain below the surface. So when Sam drove the fishing boat to the vicinity of Svalbard, he reduced the speed of the fishing boat to a minimum and cautiously approached the city of Longyearbyen.

"Ye Chen, go pack your things, we won't go back to the Beihai when we get off the ship, we have to go and help Professor Cooper tidy up the laboratory first." George tightened his padded suit and headed for the lab.

Ye Chen's clothes have long been changed into winter clothes, and his sunhat has also been replaced with a knitted hat, as well as cotton gloves and snow boots. The clothes in the suitcase were generally on Ye Chen, which allowed Ye Chen to put away all his belongings faster.

Tom will also bring an assistant to follow Ye Chen and them to get off the boat to photograph Svalbard, while the rest of the film crew will remain on the boat and enter the marine fishing grounds to film the fishing activities.

It was close to 11 p.m., and it was still daytime in Longyearbyen, and the polar day situation would continue for some time. Dragging their drowsy bodies, everyone struggled to climb to the docks of Longyearbyen.

After more than a week, Ye Chen stepped on land again, a sense of calm and safety surged up from under his feet, there was no more shaking on the fishing boat, and the whole person was much more energetic in an instant.

A bus was already parked at the docks, and in the summer, the roads were not covered with snow and ice, so cars could be used, but if you came three months later, you would have to ride snowmobiles, and Longyearbyen is one of the few places in Norway where you can drive snowmobiles. But when Ye Chen and the others entered the deep heights of Svalbard, they had to rely on snowmobiles or sleds to travel, and the deep ice and snow were inaccessible to any car.

As an important tourist city, Longyearbyen has a wealth of tourist facilities, and hotels are a must-have. It only took twenty minutes to take the car, and Ye Chen and the others arrived at the place where they were staying.

A row of painted base cabins sits quietly on the hillside, and although it is still very bright, the surrounding travelers have long been resting, and there is no one outside.

"Tom, what's the plan for tomorrow?" In fact, it is a bit inaccurate to say that tomorrow is about to be in the early morning of the next day.

Professor Cooper but the students are going to rest here for a day, so there will be no arrangements for the next day, but Tom will definitely not sit in the hotel to rest, and Ye Chen also wants to go out with him.

"Tomorrow we'll go out on a snowmobile, and if you want to go, rest early, and I'll call you tomorrow."

"No problem, I'll wait for you tomorrow." Many nights that Ye Chen had not slept on land had long been eager to go to sleep, and after learning about Tom's itinerary, Ye Chen went into the bedroom to rest.

There was no word all night, and until six o'clock the next morning, Ye Chen was woken up by his alarm clock.

"I slept so comfortably." Ye Chen groaned, and the solid bed allowed Ye Chen to clear all his previous fatigue in one fell swoop.

"Good morning, Tom." Ye Chen freshened up in the bedroom, and bumped into Tom coming as soon as he went out at about 7 o'clock.

"Good morning, Ye Chen." Tom came to call Ye Chen, "How was your rest last night?" ”

"It's amazing, it's the first time I've felt so comfortable sleeping on land."

"yes, there's no damn shaking, I don't know how much better my spirit is."

Ye Chen followed Tom to the restaurant, although it didn't cost much to live here, but eating was very expensive.

"The food here has to be shipped from other places, so the ingredients are expensive." Tom pointed to the meals and explained that a simple breakfast was almost enough to match the price of their accommodation.

"Tom, where are you going to shoot in a while, do you have any plans?" Ye Chen asked Tom as he drank the expensive milk.

"Don't rush to shoot first, there are some preparations that need to be made."

After eating, Tom took his assistant and Ye Chen to a gun shop.

"That's what you call preparation." Ye Chen looked at the firearm prepared by the clerk in front of him.

"Yes, Ye Chen." Tom carefully examined the gun in front of him, "You have to bring a gun when you go out for a while, that's the rule here." ”

Although there are clear boundaries in Longyearbyen, and human activity is strictly prohibited in areas where polar bears gather, the movement of polar bears is not restricted by the human system, and in order to ensure safety, Longyearbyen's wearing is mandatory and legal. So everyone who goes out needs to carry a firearm.

In addition to choosing a gun, you also need to undergo a 20-minute firearms training in the gun shop, where the clerk will instruct them on how to use the selected gun and certain precautions.

Ye Chen chose a Beretta 92F pistol developed by the Italian Beretta company, and he was not good at using firearms, and he didn't say which gun was suitable for him, but he thought this gun was more beautiful and chose it.

"Ye Chen, your vision is very good," Tom saw the pistol Ye Chen chose, "This gun has high shooting accuracy and good adaptability, and it is very suitable for use in harsh conditions here." But I guess it's best not to have the opportunity to use it. ”

Tom and Kurt each chose a shotgun and a pistol, which, in Tom's words, needed to be used against some big guys. After all, there are behemoths like polar bears here.

Ye Chen, who came into contact with pistols for the first time, was very happy, there was no man who didn't like weapons, especially guns. So he practiced in the gun shop for a while and experienced the thrill of shooting.
