This bitter cold land has been quiet for many years, and Tchaikov is even optimistic that his son will no longer have to fight those damned aborigines here, but two months ago, these aborigines suddenly became active again, Tchaikov inquired and found that Dick had returned to this "inheritance" that he had never visited, Tchaikov didn't want to let the hundreds of years of guardianship be destroyed in his own hands, and hurriedly mobilized people to block Dick, but those aborigines caused themselves to cause DA trouble.

Tchaikov cursed the damned natives, who had lost many lives for centuries in their troubles, but their hearts, blinded by wealth, would always feel that they were the lucky ones! Korolev's observation post was outnumbered, and Tchaikov had to go over for reinforcements.

……

Dick's convoy struggled through the glacial ruins, a boulder that delayed him for hours, and the difficult terrain slowed the pace, but the good news was not without it. The ground was so solid that there was not even a shadow of the underground cavity that Dilma feared, the cold had frozen all the dangers, the mechanics had worked effectively, the snow shovels had become more and more skillful, and the Unimog 1, which had almost given up on the verge of abandonment, had miraculously been resurrected as if it had been helped by the gods, and nothing had happened along the way. The convoy was chasing the time, and by the last rays of sunlight the next day had disappeared below the horizon, they had been chasing back five hours behind.

"With 30 kilometers to go, we can go into the plains." Dick relaxed, it seemed that old Thatcher still had a spirit in heaven, and after giving so much, he could finally see the dawn of some returns.

Dick was smug when the convoy suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong again?" Dick was on the flagship, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked.

"There's a glacier ahead!" The Unimog car at the front replied.

"What? Glacier? Are you kidding me? Dick shouted over the intercom.

In this severe cold of minus 40 degrees, there is a glacier?

"But...... It's really here! The person on the road said helplessly, 30 meters away from the place where the headlights shined, a rushing river blocked in front of him, and in the dark night, the driver did not dare to risk wading.

"Damn ......," Dick cursed, pushing open the flagship's door, jumping out of the car and running towards the front of the convoy without even putting on his coat.

There are some flowing waterways in the glacial terrain that would not be abnormal in normal times, but at this time of year it is surprising. Most of the waterways after the glaciers receded were not deep, and their water came from the melting of glaciers in the far north, and the temperature here was minus 35 °-40 °, and the temperature of the water sources of these waterways had dropped to minus 50 °. And it's a turbulent current!

The accident caught everyone off guard, and Dilma sweated profusely looking up everything on his computer that could be explained: "This can't be...... This is the geological data half a month ago, and this is the geological data of yesterday...... A month ago, all the water here was frozen......"

"Expert! Damn, I regret hiring you guys! Dick looked at the rushing water and glared disapprovingly at Dilma, who was sweating profusely in the bitter cold.

"As I recall, you've been collecting data from satellite remote sensing." Wang Xingguo thought that the most important remote sensing method for satellites is infrared detection.

"Yes, this is a satellite remote sensing data from a month ago to today...... "Dilma hurriedly retrieved the data on his tablet.

"A month ago, this glacier was formed, starting from the upstream ......" Wang Xingguo turned to infrared remote sensing, on the electronic map, there is a thin line of light yellow that is not obvious, in the upstream area, the yellow will be darker, over time, this thin line of light yellow slowly extends.

Dilma was a little panicked, it was supposed to be his job, but he ignored this detail.

"The volcanoes upstream intensified the activity, heating the icebergs, and the melted water washed down and melted the ice again." Wang Xingguo said.

"So what now?" Dick asked annoyedly, although the glacier was not wide, only more than 10 meters, but it was unusually turbulent.

"Since technology can't help, we have to detect it by manpower." Wang Xingguo felt that there was only one way now.

Seeing that the opposite side of this waterway of more than 10 meters is flat, it is unrealistic to turn back or find a new way at this time, but in such a severe cold, who wants to go into the water to explore the way?

Everyone was silent, and Wang Xingguo said helplessly: "Light Dan'er, let's prepare." ”

Chen Badai just wanted to speak, but when he saw that everyone's eyes turned around, many of them were admiring, Chen Badai had to change the second half of the sentence: "This is my job, it's not a big deal!" ”

Swimming in a glacier at minus 40 degrees Celsius, no one will do this work except for a madman. Chen Badai got into the car and slowly took off his clothes, leaving only a pair of pants, and the head Unimog pulled out the winch wire from the front of the car and prepared the seat belt.

The winch can ensure that Chen Badai will not be swept away by the current and drowned, but it cannot guarantee that he will not be frozen to death by the glacier.

Chen Badai stripped naked, and regretted it when he pushed the car door, the air at minus 40 degrees poured into the carriage, Chen Badai quickly "slammed" the door, and complained bitterly.

After making up his mind several times, under the urging of Wang Xingguo, Chen Badai finally mustered up the courage, stepped out of the car door, and walked to the glacier in a trembling manner.

"Dog, can we not go?" Before Chen Badai got into the water, he felt that the blood on his body had been frozen into ice, and he was now stiff like a robot even when he stepped into the water.

"It's not cold when you go into the water." Wang Xingguo said.

"Nonsense...... When you come up, it's a popsicle! Chen Badai muttered, but seeing that Wang Xingguo had already stepped into the water first, he couldn't admit it in full view, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and followed.

"Hey, warm?" Chen Badai's feet stepped into the water and felt his feet warm for a while. He couldn't believe it, could it be that in the later stage of hypothermia, his brain circuit was abnormal?

After taking a few steps further, Chen Badai was sure that his brain circuit was normal, and the water of this glacier was indeed warm, Wang Xingguo also felt abnormal, and shouted to the shore: "I need a thermometer." ”

Wang Xingguo measured the water temperature with a thermometer, and it turned out to be 18°! And the soles of my feet stepped on the low of the river, and I felt a burst of warmth.

"Volcanic geothermal!" Wang Xingguo said.

"Well, at least you won't freeze to death." Chen Badai said, looking at the increasingly rapid water in front of him.

"This year's volcano is very abnormal!" Wang Xingguo said again.

"Whatever, as long as it doesn't erupt." Chen Badai wanted to hurry up and get back to the warm car, he took a deep breath, and plunged into the water, wanting to swim through the turbulent water as soon as possible to the opposite bank.

Although Chen Badai tried his best to use the fastest speed, he was still swept dozens of meters downstream by the current, and he only found a stone on the opposite bank.

"It's amazing!" Chen Badai was quite proud, and then he had to go ashore, drag the wire rope to the opposite bank and align with the vehicle, and find a fixed point to buckle the wire rope.

Chen Badai had just finished exercising vigorously, his whole body was hot, and he didn't expect the temperature difference, when he climbed ashore, the water on his body was frozen almost instantly, and white ice ballasts immediately appeared on his hair.

Before he was frozen, Chen Badai made a quick decision and immediately jumped back into the water.

Chen Badai had no choice but to soak in the water and climb upstream like a crab along the rocks on the shore, but he could no longer muster up the courage to go out of the water to buckle the wire rope.

"Dog, I just said I can't do this job! We don't care if we have rheumatism! Chen Badai cried with a sad face, with a lump of ice ballast on his head, looking a little funny.

Although the water temperature is 18°, it is still not as high as the human body temperature, and it is not good to soak in the water all the time. Wang Xingguo gritted his teeth, quickly emerged from the water, and while his body temperature could still be maintained, he ran quickly to a large stone more than ten meters away, and saw that the wire rope was wound and buckled.

Unimog started the winch, the wire rope tightened, with the wire rope made of the "bridge", there is no problem for people to pass, but now if there is no vehicle, people pass to no avail, Wang Xingguo has to use this "wire bridge" to detect the depth of water and water flow, in order to measure the possibility of vehicles passing.

"The deepest part is the ...... As long as one car can pass, the rest can pass. After Wang Xingguo probed the underwater situation in detail, he told everyone a good news.

"Two meters?" Dick was somewhat surprised, this was already beyond the wading depth of most ATVs, and only his flagship number could pass through.

It is almost impossible for the mechanical group to temporarily raise the intake pipe of the vehicle temporarily, but it is not difficult for them to temporarily block the air intake of the engine, Wang Xingguo put forward his own plan - the winch in front of the flagship car is fixed with the boulder on the opposite side as traction, and the back car is pulled by the winch to form a balanced state, as long as the flagship lands on the opposite bank, it becomes the first fixed point, and the winch can be used to cooperate with other vehicles to drag them over, and these all must be closed The air intake is closed, and the engine is turned off to prevent water ingress.

Letting the expensive flagship be the first to go into the water made Dick a little unhappy, this was the palace he moved, and he had always distinguished the flagship from other work vehicles in his heart, but now, there was only one way.

The flagship's car weighed 5 tons, and the staff connected the wire rope fixed on the opposite bank to the flagship's winch, and the two Unimog put the winch wire on the flagship's trailer hook, the flagship's engine roared and rushed into the river, the body slowly immersed in the water, the winch rotated under the drive of the engine, dragging the flagship's heavy body to the opposite bank, at this time, the flagship's wheels had little adhesion at the bottom of the river, and the roaring throttle only kept the flagship's exhaust pipe submerged in water to maintain pressure, The engine does not stall, but fortunately the flagship car is 2.3 meters tall, and the two modified air intakes on either side of the windshield are towering, so there is no concern about water ingress.

The flagship rushed into the deepest water, most of the body was already submerged in the water, the strong water impact on the side of the flagship, the 5-ton flagship shook violently, and the two Unimog behind carefully matched the forward speed of the flagship, slowly releasing the wire rope, so as not to let the flagship capsize in the turbulence.

"Damn! It's a goddamn job! Dick was reluctant to leave the flagship, even to drive it himself, and Dick cursed fiercely as the flagship shook violently in the turbulence.

The roaring front wheels of the flagship finally picked up the solid ground on the shore, and finally there was no danger, Dick wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, only to find that the foot stepping on the accelerator was so weak that he had no strength, and he was constantly shaking.

"I don't want to go through it again!" Dick pushed the car door open, and when he got out of the car, his feet went limp, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Wang Xingguo, don't fight so hard next time!" Xia Ruobing looked at Wang Xingguo wrapped in a coat, his hair was covered with ice ballast, and he was a little distressed.

"Miss Xia, do you also care about me, I have frozen into a dog." Chen Badai's teeth trembled.

Xia Ruobing glanced at him.

"Dog, I said you hurry up, how obvious is this......" Chen Badai wanted to say a few more words, but found that even if he got into the car and turned on the air conditioner to the hottest, the frozen muscles would not obey him.

Wang Xingguo recovered, put on his clothes again, and hurriedly went to direct the convoy to cross the river, the flagship turned around on the opposite bank, aimed the front of the car at the river, and used a strong winch to cooperate with two Unimogs, and dragged the vehicles with the engines turned off one by one, and the last Unimog, which had the largest load, was dragged from the turbulence to the opposite bank under the drag of the winches of three cars on the opposite bank, and almost capsized in the river.

"Why is this water a little slightly pink?" When the convoy started again, Wang Xingguo took a bottle of water from the river and looked at it carefully under the lights in the car, feeling that something was wrong.

"It's called Pink Memory." Chen Badai said angrily, he now feels that his knee joints are still cold, and he has not improved after rubbing his hands for a long time, it seems that the problem of this old cold leg is about to fall.

"It shouldn't be!" Wang Xingguo said again.

"We shouldn't go down the river!" Chen Badai glanced at Wang Xingguo, "My old cold leg problem has fallen, you can be reimbursed for the medical expenses." ”

"Keep this bottle of water, and test it when you go back." Wang Xingguo carefully put the water bottle into his bag.
