Chapter 159: I Refused at First
The establishment time of Taihang Station is relatively short, at most ten years of history, so the technology it uses is also relatively advanced.
Due to its superior geographical location, it is also close to the sea, and icebreakers and planes can dock, so it has become the largest Antarctic research station in the alliance and the second largest station in the world.
There are more than 400 buildings of various sizes in the station, including intercontinental airports, large ports, large desalination plants, large comprehensive repair plants, communication networks, hospitals, clubs, gymnasiums, cinemas, shops, hotels, etc., and the application scale is comparable to a fully functional micro city.
Moreover, there is the largest fruit and vegetable plantation in Antarctica, green lettuce, red peppers, tender cucumbers, round and jade tomatoes, as well as watermelons, apples, strawberries, etc., the racial talents of the alliance people are vividly displayed here.
This plantation not only supplies the fresh fruits and vegetables needed by the Taihang scientific research station and tourists, but even some of the vegetable and fruit needs of some nearby scientific research stations, which are much fresher than those shipped from their country.
Originally, other countries also planted vegetables and fruits in the greenhouse laboratory, but their method not only consumed high consumption and low yield, but also had few varieties.
In the summer, many tourists from all over the world come here for sightseeing, and the traffic is bustling and lively for a while.
Dong Qingchen and their visit this time coincided with the summer of Antarctica, when there were many people, and many hotels on the side of Taihang Station were full of tourists from all over the world.
Now a mature industrial chain has developed here, not only a scientific research station of the original alliance, but also the equipment or services that could only be provided by the scientific research station in the past, and the institutions are specially assigned to be responsible.
For example, the minimum accommodation problem is all kinds of hotels, all of which are Antarctic branches opened by famous hotels in China.
There are also cooperation with tour groups, snowmobile rentals, professional tour guide team companies, etc., which can only be said to be under the jurisdiction of the alliance research station, and then provide them with some basic services, supervise them not to cause environmental pollution, and make them abide by some treaties in Antarctica, etc., just like building a Shenzhou spaceport and then carrying out multi-faceted cooperation.
The accommodation is good, they have booked a room, the snowmobile is also good, and they can rent it after paying a deposit, but unlike ordinary tourists and groups, they also have to report to the scientific expedition team.
After all, they came here to mine, and this area is theoretically the territory of the Alliance......
No, it should be a sphere of influence......
No, you can't say that, anyway, the official alliance will not admit this statement at present, and all countries in the world will not recognize similar statements.
Anyway, if you want to open a mine in this area, you really have to report to Taihang Station, and after they have checked it, they will hand over the relevant mineral branch information to Dong Qingchen, and then they will send a scientific expedition team member who understands the situation to take them to the scene for investigation.
Since the alliance attaches great importance to this matter and orders all scientific research stations to cooperate, Dong Qingchen took Zhanhong to Taihang Station to consult relevant information, and immediately met with Stationmaster Cui Lemin.
"Finally met the real person, Mr. Dong Qingchen, you are really as young and promising as the information shows." Cui Lemin shook hands with Dong Qingchen.
"Where, I admire that Stationmaster Cui can manage such a large site in such a desolate place in an orderly manner."
Dong Qingchen also shook hands with him and said, "When I came, I saw the car at the Gallic station next door buying vegetables, they like the fresh fruits and vegetables in our plantation the most, right?" ”
Hearing Dong Qingchen ask this, Cui Lemin let go of his hand and took two glasses in the disinfection cabinet, poured a glass of water for him and Zhanhong and said with a smile: "Haha, when it comes to this, I'm not boasting, our fruit and vegetable plantation is definitely the largest in Antarctica, and the second, third, and fourth largest are our other three stations." ”
"No way, our alliance people are so hardworking." Dong Qingchen nodded and said.
"Haha!"
The two exchanged a few polite words, and then Dong Qingchen passed the required information to Cui Lemin, and he sighed after reading this, "Your technology is really advanced, and it has reduced the possible pollution to the minimum, even lower than the pollution level of some scientific research stations." ”
"Yes, that's why we're here, the Alliance, as a responsible international power, will definitely do a good job of protecting the Antarctic in the process of developing Antarctica, after all, no matter where we go, the homeland star is our homeland, and the Alliance people are a family-loving nation, of course we have to use the best technology to deal with this problem."
Dong Qingchen's words touched Cui Lemin very much, they came to Antarctica to do scientific research tasks, the most important thing is environmental protection issues, in the scientific investigation to minimize the pollution and damage to Antarctica, now the situation is becoming more and more complicated, the personnel are becoming more and more complicated, the most urgent thing to grasp in the scientific research station is environmental protection issues.
Now a big boss who is about to open a mine in Antarctica can say such a thing, he is really gratified, in fact, he is not a pure politician, his essence is still biased towards scientific researchers, he sighed a little when he saw the country mining in Antarctica, but as an alliance person, he had to do this, and it is also his responsibility to promote the development of the country.
Finally, after discussing the things to be cooperated with in the future, Taihang Station will send a scientific researcher as a guide to take them to the F3974 area.
Cui Lemin thought for a while and said: "There is a person who is very suitable for this guide, but he went on a mission today, and it is late today, so I will let him report to you tomorrow, and then take you there, how about it?" ”
"No problem at all, we need to take a break today, it's a little uncomfortable to come to Antarctica for the first time."
"That's good......"
After the negotiation was settled, Dong Qingchen and they took their leave, and as soon as they left, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked in.
"Stationmaster, today we found another big vein......"
He picked up the stationmaster's antique enamel teapot and drank it up, and then Duang's release was in the same place and continued, "It's a bumper harvest, but we are a scientific expedition team, not a mining team, what are we doing every day now?" ”
"Of course it's a scientific expedition, what else can it be, do you think prospecting is not a scientific expedition?"
Cui Lemin looked at the enamel teapot at the bottom, and after the difficulty, he took out an old-fashioned thermos from his side and poured it before saying: "Xia Zhang, since this is completed, then I will give you another task, tomorrow you will take a team of domestic people to the F3974 area." ”
"F3974 area? That's not ......"
Xia Zhang, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, glared, "Isn't that an iron ore vein?" This team is a domestic mine boss? ”
"That's right." Cui Lemin nodded.
"I'm not going! Whoever loves to go, who goes! Xia Zhang resolutely refused. I, as a member of the scientific expedition team, will not do such things that destroy the environment. ”
"It's not like you haven't seen the photos of the new mining bombing the mountain before, it's just destructive mining, the landscape has completely changed, and the dust also affects the air in Antarctica, which is simply impossible to say! I'm not going! ”
"This company is different, it is very environmentally friendly," Cui Lemin gave him the information with a smile, "You can take a look." ”
"I don't look at it, it's all fake!"
