Chapter 528: Arriving at the South Pole
Just as 2B was quietly watching Qiao Lu fall asleep, her assistant robot Pod suddenly rang the communication bell, and then the sweet voice of liaison officer 6O came from inside:
"The liaison officer of the Leaf Sending Force 6O calls 2B, and it is now a regular contact time. 2B, are you already on your way to Antarctica? ”
"Shh 2B hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Qiao Lu is asleep, I am beside him, please be quiet." ”
"Hey, have you made it this far?" 6O asked, surprised and delighted, apparently by some misunderstanding.
2B suddenly turned red and shouted, "Wait, it's not what you think!" ”
Then she found that the sound she made in a hurry was too loud, so she quickly moved away from Qiao Lu's side, calmed down again, and muttered like a mosquito:
"I didn't have ······ I want to do that kind of thing. ”
"That's not going to work, 2B." 6O clenched his pink fist indignantly and said:
"Everyone in the Jiye army admires Mr. Qiao Lu who saved us very much, because they thought that they would leave the opportunity to you first, so they didn't take the initiative. If you can't report the progress all the time, you will have failed the expectations of everyone and the commander! ”
"Commander?" 2B asked, confused.
"Of course, the Commander has been looking forward to it······ Ah, I can't say any more! ”
6O realized that the commander was still watching from the base, and quickly covered his mouth to indicate that he had done his talk.
Looking at her speechless appearance, 2B had no choice but to ask helplessly, "So, what should I do?" ”
6O suddenly came to his senses, and said with a mischievous smile: "Of course I try to take the initiative, but with the character of 2B, I definitely can't do anything too tough." In that case, how about practicing secretly while he is asleep? ”
"Really?" General 2B asked, incredulously.
"It's okay, be careful and you won't be discovered." Then 60 whispered to himself, "It's better to be discovered." ”
After much hesitation, 2B made up his mind and said, "If this is the commander's decision·······"
"Then the 2B members of the Sending Leaf Force, please follow my instructions next!" 6O said to 2B immediately.
I don't know when, behind 6O there were already a large number of other members of the Jiye Army, and even the commander was paying close attention to the situation here. 2B can be said to be difficult to ride a tiger, so I can only do it.
After a long time, Qiao Lu woke up from a shocking aroma, and when he opened his eyes, he found that 2B's delicate and beautiful face was close in front of him.
She took off the black blindfold that covered her eyes, her eyes were closed, her slender eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she approached Qiao Lu at an almost static speed.
"Huh!?"
Before Qiao Lu could speak, 2B noticed that he had woken up, and immediately retracted like a frightened rabbit, his cheeks flushed like ripe apples.
Qiao Lu felt the residual body temperature on his lips, and for a while he was still half-asleep and half-awake, unable to react to what was happening in front of him.
2B hurriedly put on the blindfold in a panic, and the flush on his cheeks could not be dissipated for a long time.
She bowed her head deeply and didn't say a word, like a child who had done something wrong, not knowing how to face Qiao Lu.
Qiao Lu was also shocked, not knowing whether he was in a dream or reality, everything that happened in front of him was really a little unexpected.
"Knock knock—"
A knock on the door outside the carriage broke the silence between the two, and Qiao Lu hurriedly let people in, a staff member of the Snowpiercer, and said to him:
"Director Qiaolu, we are already close to Antarctica. You can see some of the facilities of the Antarctic Garden Project outside, so I recommend you to come out and have a look. ”
"Okay, thanks for the reminder."
After the train staff left, Qiao Lufang came back to his senses and asked, "2B, ······ you?"
"Please act as if nothing happened!" 2B turned his head shyly and said, not daring to touch Qiao Lu's eyes at all.
Her hands were on her knees, her fists clenched and trembling slightly, and her inner wavering could not stop showing, and she longed to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Seeing her severely reddened face, Qiao Lu wondered if continuing to ask like this would cause confusion in her synthetic personality matrix, so she had to give up for the time being.
"Well, I'll go out and see how the project goes, you can rest here first."
After Qiao Lu got up to leave, 2B received contact from 6O again, and it was a scene of celebration on that side.
"Oh, 2B, it's really well done, and the commander can rest assured."
"Whew-"
2B huddled up in his seat with his legs clenched, burying his head deep in his knees, as if he didn't want to see anyone.
"Don't worry, 2B, we will always support you, and we look forward to your next performance."
With that, 6O cut off the communication, and apparently the truth is not over yet, but it will take some time for 2B to recover.
On the other side, Qiao Lu left the first class cabin and came to the sightseeing car, which is specially used to observe the situation outside, and the large windows provide a wider view, and you can see part of the Antarctic courtyard project from afar.
Qiao Lu was surprised to find that it was daylight around. Theoretically, the Southern Hemisphere should be in the middle of eternal night, and there is no ray of sunshine on the way here.
He looked up and saw that there was indeed a "sun" in the sky, but it was much smaller than what he saw in the Northern Hemisphere, and it provided far less heat than the Northern Hemisphere.
But it is such a small sun that makes the entire Antarctic in a polar day state, so that the Antarctic courtyard project does not have to be carried out under the eternal night, which greatly facilitates the progress of the project.
"The Chinese Sun?"
Qiao Lu immediately remembered that the name of this small sun was the artificial climate satellite discovered in the past - the Chinese sun.
It hangs over the South Pole just like the moon once was, but the smooth mirror surface of the Chinese sun has a much higher reflectivity than the moon, and of course the brightness produced is enough to illuminate the entire South Pole and provide illumination for the operation of the Antarctic courtyard project.
First built the Snowpiercer, and then used the Chinese sun, in order to complete the Antarctic courtyard project, the coalition government really spared no expense, just to serve it There are two super projects, and the investment in the Antarctic courtyard project itself will only be larger.
Just like the Navigator International Space Station built for the Wandering Earth project, all Qiao Lu sees now is the ancillary projects that support the Antarctic Courtyard Project, but these alone are already very scary, and I don't know how huge the Antarctic Courtyard Project itself will be.
After all, it is a superweapon to compete with the Death Star, and it is impossible for the coalition government to be stingy in this matter.
The Snowpiercer has officially entered Antarctica, and under the light of the Chinese sun, it is not as dark as others think. The endless ice fields under which the sun shines can even give a mysterious beauty.
The Antarctic Courtyard Project is not only for the construction of the Earth Cannon, but also as the name suggests, to turn the Antarctic into a courtyard, and now it has been gradually achieved!
