Because it is a scientific expedition, it does not sail in a straight line, nor does it pursue absolute speed. www.biquge.info After leaving the mainland of Sri Lanka this time, Bingling will stop in the Indian Ocean for a while, where the islands of Nadaifu, Chagos, Mauritius and Madagascar are all on the scheduled route, and then go around the southernmost Cape of Good Hope in Africa and enter the Atlantic Ocean, cross the westerly wind belt to replenish supplies at the port of Santa Cruz in Argentina, then pass through Tierra del Fuego, and then cross the Drake Strait to begin to approach the South Pole. In Antarctica, several research stations established by China's scientific expedition predecessors will do related scientific experiments, extract ice, etc., and then cross Australia from the other side of the Pacific Ocean to return to their homeland. It is said that it is an Antarctic expedition, but in fact, it should be more accurate to be the ocean and Antarctic expeditions, and those familiar or unfamiliar seas in the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean are the goals of the expedition team, which is why each expedition mission needs at least 100 days, that is, stop-and-go on the sea.

After leaving Sri Lanka, the first stop is the Maldives! The Maldives is an archipelagic country located in the Indian Ocean in Asia. The total area is 90,000 square kilometers, and the land area is 298 square kilometers. The average altitude is 1.8 meters. It is about 600 km from the south of India and about 750 km from the southwest of Sri Lanka. It is 820 kilometers long from north to south and 130 kilometers wide from east to west. It is composed of 26 groups of natural atolls and 1,192 coral islands, constituting 20 atolls distributed in a sea area of 90,000 square kilometers, of which 200 are inhabited islands.

According to the itinerary, the Ice Dragon will conduct a day of scientific research here and then rest for a full day. For Lu Qiong, who did not have a scientific expedition, she had two days to visit the Maldives. Out of her yearning for coral reefs, young reporter Lu Qiong was very excited. Of course, what was even more exciting was that after several hours of hard work, Su Chen finally agreed to accompany her to play. After the incident in Malacca, Lu Qiong knew that this guy didn't look good, but he had a stunt! Of course, it is safer to have such a master by your side,

Naturally, the young people on the Ice Dragon who have never been to the Maldives will not let go of such a rare opportunity. Crowds have been visiting this legendary island nation that will disappear in the near future. And Deng Jie, one of the two beauties on the Ice Dragon, also appeared in the crowd without surprise. It's just to everyone's surprise that at this moment, she is holding the arm of Guo Zhijian, a doctor in the medical team.

Thinking of the joke Su Chen said, Lu Qiong muttered in a low voice: "The chief harvester also collects small clerks?" ”

Su Chen couldn't help but smile and said, "Since she is an anti-Japanese heroine, of course she will not refuse." ”

"Indecent!" Lu Qiong didn't expect Su Chen to mention the anti-Japanese heroine again, the first time she heard Su Chen say that she was still curious to ask why she was called an anti-Japanese heroine, and when Su Chen patiently explained, our big reporter flashed with shame.

Su Chen and Lu Qiong's intimate behavior was noticed by one person, that is, Guo Zhijian, Lu Qiong ignored him at the beginning, but he had a hot fight with his enemy Su Chen, and Lu Qiong naturally became Guo Zhijian's enemy.

However, unlike the first time he was defeated by Su Chen, like a defeated rooster, he was now passing by Su Chen and Lu Qiong quickly and vigorously. Deng Jie also cooperated very well and snuggled most of her body on Guo Zhijian. I don't know it, I think these two are a pair of people who are about to enter the marriage hall after years of hardship.

Lu Qiong is very disdainful of this, she has a lot of gossip, that is to say, in her opinion, Deng Jie is a watery Yanghua woman, she has reason to believe that without waiting for the ice dragon to leave the Maldives, Deng Jie will climb into another man's bed, this kind of short-lived love is not uncommon even if it is gorgeous.

Su Chen is a calm observer of everything on the island, walking on the streets of this typical small tropical country without the slightest feeling of backwardness and desolation, on the contrary, because of its reputation, the Maldives relies on tourism income but has a per capita GDP of more than 8,000 US dollars. Along the coastline, there are many sun loungers and umbrellas on the beach, where tall and short, fat and skinny people lie on them to bask in the sun, admiring the beautiful sea views and the people who frolic in the seascapes, without exception, they are all white, from Europe or from North America.

There were one or two black things curled up every few meters under the coconut trees on the side of the road, and after a closer look, I realized that it was a black child, the typical dark skin and skinny appearance made Lu Qiong's love overflow several times, and he threw down a big bill directly, stood up and wiped his tears.

On the other side of the street from the coconut palms are local-owned shops with swimming tools, gear and local produce, as well as the Maldives' famous tortoiseshell and baker. And those who were frantically scanning the goods there knew at a glance that they were all big and small tyrants from China. Although China is still a developing country, there is always a group of people who are not soft at all when they travel and shop abroad, because they don't need to make money by themselves or the money is very easy, because there is always one or a few people around them who eat public food.

Of course, most of those who focus on taking pictures and showing off and don't care about the scenery itself are also Chinese. Seeing this, Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head, it's not that he is arrogant, look at how leisurely foreigners are, and when he comes to a place to play, he should be so slow-paced. And the Chinese people always unconsciously become the foil of other people's scenery and scenery.

But he is happily showing off those photos that have no artistic value to prove how many places he has been.

Lu Qiong couldn't help but start filming out of professional habits, while Su Chen saw Guo Zhijian and Deng Jie join the Chinese shopping army, whether they knew each other or not, as soon as they heard the accent, they introduced each other that there were good things there, where they could exchange foreign currency, and where they could bargain......

Next, playing sand sculptures and swimming are naturally indispensable. In the afternoon, at Lu Qiong's request, the two signed up for diving, because this is already a deep sea far from the continental shelf, so they must be trained before diving. In the training office, the two unexpectedly found that they met acquaintances again, that is, Guo Zhijian and Deng Jie. The diving trainer is an authentic Taiwanese who speaks fluent English and Chinese, and when he sees that the tourists are all from China, he speaks directly in Chinese, including some professional gestures and matters that need to be paid attention to during diving.

Of course, the short training also includes psychological counseling, in fact, the divers repeatedly emphasize that everyone should not panic, as long as they follow the operation steps, and there are professional divers around to protect them, and the safety can be assured. As soon as Lu Qiong heard this, she basically didn't listen to the class, but stared at the training instructor stupidly.

In fact, Su Chen doesn't need training, but he can't jump out and say to the instructor that I'm better at diving than you. Therefore, he could only observe these dozens of people as if they were looking at the scenery, and listened carefully to the teacher's explanation like a primary school student. But like Lu Qiong, Deng Jie's eyes also lit up, but it was more like a discharge. I have to say that this instructor is really handsome. is so handsome that Su Chen is jealous of him!

Although he is Taiwanese, he is not bad, about 1.75 meters, he is said to have been a soldier, his figure is also quite tall, he lives by the sea all the year round, his skin is not much different from the locals, because of diving and swimming, the muscles of the whole body are very developed. Lu Qiong, a girl who had never seen the world, and Deng Jie's big ocean horse were naturally completely conquered.

So much so that when she started to wear a diving suit, Su Chen jokingly asked Lu Qiong, but this girl actually forgot all the things explained by the instructor. When it came to the shallow water trial, he was naturally at a loss, and he didn't dare to stick his head into the water at all. Of course, most of the girls are actually the same, and in the end, only three girls wore professional masks like their male counterparts, and Lu Qiong and Deng Jie were naturally the kind of masks that were fully armed, or hoods.

The instructor was not surprised by this, but to Lu Qiong's disappointment, when a boatload of people drove into the sea, there was suddenly a beautiful woman in a diving suit next to the instructor, and I heard that it was a local Chinese who was learning to dive with the instructor. Of course, the kind of learning she is talking about is naturally the kind of professional diving, including underwater rescue and search, etc., and after graduation, she can at least be a diver to observe tourists.

In fact, after the instructor got on the boat, he directly handed over this group of tourists to the other people on the boat, and he took the student into the water first. This made Lu Qiong depressed for a while, but fortunately she looked back and saw that Su Chen had not been abducted by other female companions. She could see it in the shallow water just now, Su Chen's movements were very standard, even more standard than what the instructor just said, and it was a one-time pass.

Su Chen naturally didn't have any pressure on this kind of diving with a maximum depth of only fifteen or sixteen meters. So he quickly jumped off and was still waiting for Lu Qiong in the water.

I don't know if it was intentional or what, anyway, Guo Zhijian actually mixed Lu Qiong when he went into the water, and pushed Lu Qiong without her preparation. Because he was sitting with his back to the sea facing in, and there was an oxygen cylinder for diving on his back, this sudden push and shoving, Lu Qiong fell into the sea without accident. Originally, divers used this method to send each guest off the boat, but at that time it was common to smile and make an encouraging gesture before pressing their hands on their shoulders and pushing them down.

Guo Zhijian's push obviously made Lu Qiong lose her square inch, she didn't pay attention to the class, she started screaming the moment she left the boat, and then saw in horror that she was actually in the seawater, and her head was in the water, and she wanted to kick her legs but found that it was empty. Fear and fear made Lu Qiong confused, she completely forgot that she had a full protective mask, and she was dancing in the water in a hurry.

She was about to lose her breath and wanted to tear off her mask with her hands, but at this moment, a black figure quickly rushed over, grabbed her right hand that was pulling the mask, and then reached out and pressed the switch on the mask, and the mask that had been filled with some water immediately refreshed. Then he grabbed Lu Qiong's other hand, balanced Lu Qiong's body in the water, and then made a thumbs up gesture.

Seeing that familiar face and those familiar movements, Lu Qiong's little hand that was grabbed by Su Chen also quickly responded. After Su Chen turned around and smiled at Lu Qiong with encouragement, she finally calmed down and saw clearly that it was Su Chen who grabbed her, she was surprised and delighted, seeing Su Chen ask her if she wanted to go up immediately, she quickly shook her head, smiled shyly, and made a thumbs down gesture in response. However, the other hand still grabbed Su Chen's other hand at the first time, and Lu Qiong really felt safe when the two faced each other.

Su Chen smiled bitterly, slowly let go of Lu Qiong's hands, and then turned sideways and stretched out his right hand, Lu Qiong understood, and reached over with his left hand and grabbed Su Chen's right hand tightly with a ten-finger interlocking movement. Su Chen felt that the female reporter's palms were also cold in the warm water. Apparently scared just now. Su Chen didn't notice the small action of putting on Guo Zhijian, and thought that Lu Qiong was timid. So she slowed down very slowly, tried her best to make Lu Qiong's body stand up straight in the water, and then gently patted Lu Qiong's right shoulder to signal that everything was with him!
