With a clear goal, everyone in the base becomes energetic.

Although stocks are abundant, the growing areas are still full of grain and vegetables. In view of the deliciousness of watermelons, at the request of Zhao Fei, Zhang Le planted all watermelons in Xu Lang's surge power generation laboratory.

Zhang Le went to the icebreaker several more times, carefully photographed the various structures of the icebreaker, and determined the location of the battery generator under the unanimous discussion of everyone.

It was only Zhang Le who worked hard again, and he specially brought a small barrel of diesel fuel to test.

As expected, after the battery was charged, the electronic control system of the icebreaker finally began to work again.

What made a group of men drop their jaws was that Zhao Fei and Zha Xiaoxia actually learned to fly.

Everyone else is envious, jealous and hateful, only Zhuge Chen understands the truth. But Zhuge Chen didn't have any jealousy at all, because she was also very satisfied with her current physical condition, and she not only strengthened her agility, but also strengthened her recovery. The important thing is that her agility and recovery enhancement are more thoroughly integrated than the original visual system enhancement in China, because of the recovery reinforcement, the physical discomfort caused by the original visual system enhancement has disappeared without a trace.

Three months later, the first grain and the second batch of vegetables were harvested at the Ice Dragon base.

It was the hottest weather in the Arctic, and the extent of the Arctic ice was rapidly shrinking to less than five kilometers from the icebreaker's location. The icebreaker is about a meter of ice, and the three fastest birdmen in the base are responsible for driving the icebreaker away from the frozen area.

The world's most advanced nuclear-powered icebreaker lives up to expectations, with six giant icebreakers and a metre-thick layer of ice that has little impact on the icebreaker's low-speed sailing.

The operating platform is intelligent, Zhao Fei translated all the basic instructions of the operating system into Chinese, and even Zha Xiaoxia learned to drive this icebreaker.

The high-spirited Zhao Fei proclaimed himself the captain of the ship and named the giant ship, the Lychee, after one of his favorite fruits.

Although Zhang Le slandered this title too sloppily and not domineering, he had to spend most of the day replacing the port number "Moscow" with the Chinese "lychee", and also drew a four-like lychee fruit on the side of the name.

The Litchi icebreaker has an advanced detection system that can measure the thickness of the ice within a radius of 20 kilometers. It took three days for the icebreaker, which had been swimming the edge of the ice, to finally find a safe route to reach a position seven kilometers from the Ice Dragon base.

Summer in the Arctic is short, only more than twenty days, and the temperature occasionally reaches above freezing.

Time was of the essence, the cable was too short to meet the requirements, and the carbon fiber rope came in handy. The personnel left behind at the base had already made preparations to bring anything that affected the dragging to the base, including giant anchors fixed under the ice, surge power generation equipment, and some equipment that was too high, such as solar light collectors and their masts, and windmills. Unfortunately, there was no way to put away the geothermal equipment, so I had to give up.

The entire base was dismantled into four large pieces and towed away. Things went surprisingly well, and nothing was damaged except for the collapse of a house in the Department of Natural Sciences. Of course, this sentence is not entirely accurate, Zhang Houde complained that the kitchen dishes were broken a lot.

At the sea, the Ice Dragon Base was regrouped into a single unit and connected to the icebreaker "Lychee" by two giant cables.

As the icebreaker smoothly dragged the ice dragon base away from the Arctic ice, everyone let out a cheer at the bow of the ship.

The Ice Dragon Base is located in the eastern part of Greenland, where the temperature of the sea is still very low, with occasional thin ice at night and occasional icebergs.

Due to the huge ice dragon base and the complex marine environment, the icebreaker "Lychee" travels very slowly. No one has experience in piloting a ship, but fortunately the icebreaker has an intelligent operating system and an advanced detection system to avoid the ship from hitting icebergs and reefs.

The personnel of the Ice Dragon Base are fed up with the cold weather and are bent on going to the warm south, so the ship's course is as straight as possible to the south.

Three days later, the Lychee passed through the northern tip of Norway, did not stop, turned west, and continued south. Leaving the forbidden area of life, the North Pole, everyone finally returned to the colorful world of life.

Although the temperature is still very low, seabirds such as petrels and seagulls have already begun to appear in the sky, and there are schools of fish swimming in the sea, and if it were not for the smoke of volcanic eruptions in the distance, everyone would almost think that they were on vacation.

The amount of radiation in the seawater is still exceeded, but the personnel at the Ice Dragon Base have no need to worry about this problem. Before leaving, Zhao Fei forcibly injected the rest of the personnel with radiation protection vaccines and recovery gene injections.

With Zhao Fei, an expert, Zhang Houde, a fat man, also survived the fat rejection reaction of the radiation prevention vaccine.

The raw materials for the recovery gene potion were all obtained from Ouyang Ji, and there were many of them, but Zhao Fei didn't use the fusion agent, and Li Jun and the others suffered a lot of crimes.

Zhao Fei's proposed walking route is to stay as far away from the coast as possible, and does not plan to take the long and narrow sea routes such as the Suez Canal and the Strait of Malacca, through the Atlantic Ocean to the south, from the Cape of Good Hope in Africa to the east, through the Indian Ocean and the Indonesian archipelago, back to the South China Sea, and directly to China.

After another day, the temperature had reached minus five or six degrees. The sea began to become less calm, and from time to time there were strange fish swimming around, two-headed fish, fish full of fins, three-eyed fish, etc., all of which were deformed fish, larger than the normal sea fish I had seen before.

What's even more terrifying is that there are often strange-looking big fish fighting in the seawater, tossing huge waves, and the fish that lost the fight just surfaced on the surface, and were swarmed by a group of giant insects, and the fish were eaten cleanly, leaving only the skeleton to sink into the depths of the sea.

A few girls looked like they wanted to vomit, Ouyang Ji said calmly on the side: "This is a bit like the Antarctic giant worm, a kind of scavenging insect, I didn't expect that the North Pole has a similar one, and it can grow so big, and even eat living things, according to me, there are only a few people who do not mutate in the biological chain of the entire earth." ”

The consequences of the nuclear war began to appear, most of the surviving organisms began to mutate under the stimulation of radiation, the mutation is random, maybe death, maybe deformed, maybe weaker, maybe stronger, but on the whole it is not a good thing, the naturally optimized genes are the real evolutionary direction, and the mutation that is forcibly stimulated by the outside world is terrible.

Even if it is not exposed to nuclear radiation, as long as it is in the chain of the food chain, I am afraid that it will inevitably be affected.

Zhang Le said nervously: "It's not good, if these disgusting bugs and strange fish climb up to the base, it will be miserable." ”

Zhao Fei's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately commanded: "Li Jun, Wang Daqing, Zhang Le, Chen Zhiming, Wang Zhigao, a few of you go to the base first, raise the protective wall of the base, and turn on the power grid." ”

The icebreaker's deck is 16.5 meters above the waterline, and the ship's side is so smooth that you don't have to worry about these mutated animals climbing up.

The Ice Dragon Base is different, under normal circumstances, it is surrounded by a low wall half a meter high, and even if a dolphin jumps hard, it can jump into the Ice Dragon Base.

Zhang Le's worries partially became a reality, although there were no insects crawling in, there were quite a few strange small fish jumping into the ice dragon base.

At the edge of the ice dragon base, by the low wall, every other way, there is a leaky area, which is composed of leaky holes with an aperture of about one centimeter. After the waves enter the base, the sea water can flow away through the leaky hole, and the sea water can also enter the base with the rise and fall of the waves. The base surface of the base is two meters thick, and the waterline is about 1.2 meters. The leakage zone is 0.5 meters lower than the foundation surface, and the distance between the sea surface and the leakage area is only 0.3 meters. Even a small wave can pour in the seawater, but the seawater cannot reach the surface of the foundation.

The fish that jumped in all rolled down the slope to the leaky area at a depth of 0.5 meters. Zhang Le's group of people installed a high wall along the edge of the base, and threw out the small fish in the leaky area. Among them, there are many small fish that have mutated, the strange fish with many fins are the most, there are many fish whose scales have mutated into spines, and there are fish with tentacles, etc., all of which are strangely shaped.

Although Zhang Le is ignorant of the knowledge of biological variation, in this kind of large-scale mutation activities around the world, there is always a certain proportion of super-strong species, I don't know if this is good or bad for the natural world?

Even if you are a big man, you will get goosebumps when you see these strange-looking mutant fish. The newly added protective wall has a height of 3 meters, plus 0.8 meters above the base waterline, for a total sea level height of 3.8 meters, which can withstand waves caused by wind force 6 or 7 at the maximum.

The mutant fish scared Chen Zhiming, the eldest young master, very much, and under Chen Zhiming's strong suggestion, Zhang Le and his group simply blocked the water leakage area.

Although the leaky hole is only 1 centimeter, there are also many small fish and shrimp that get in, and Li Jun also found a huge locust creature in the process of cleaning.

Although it was a busy day, everyone felt a lot more relieved when they looked at the tall protective wall and the high-voltage power grid. Now in the sunlit Northern Hemisphere, the solar panels at the Ice Dragon base are working, enough to provide sufficient protective energy.

It's August 2026, the hottest time of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The icebreaker "Lychee" came to the sea between Iceland and Norway.

Since the icebreaker has been sailing in the deep sea and is not close to any land, nothing is known about the situation on the shore. But the strange thing is that after sailing more than a thousand kilometers, the Lychee did not see any ships.

Although it can be understood that it is still in the eastern waters of Greenland, and the temperature only hovers around minus 5 degrees Celsius, there are no fishermen here? Wang Daqing was the first to raise this question.

Chen Zhiming squeezed his eyebrows and said: "The sea full of mutant fish, as well as insects, will not come to fish!" Chen Zhiming was indeed frightened by these strange things in the sea, his facial expressions were a little distorted recently, and he was no longer willing to return to the ice dragon base, only willing to stay in the icebreaker.
