Chen Bin and Da Fei went to the south of the "Arctic Village", and in that direction was the Xindu Station and the "glass greenhouse" where green vegetables were cultivated without soil.

On the way, the two saw the white-cheeked black goose, which is relatively large, with a wingspan of more than one meter, and they are typical cold-water ocean birds, which are resistant to severe cold and like to inhabit bays, river ports and other places.

A white-cheeked black goose chick was bouncing on the tundra, fluffy and very cute, Da Fei wanted to walk over and catch it, but was pulled by Chen Bin.

"Professor Xia specifically said that let us go out and avoid the animals in the polar circle as much as possible, and we must also be careful not to damage the original environment here."

Da Fei was also present when Xia Yunli said these words, but he didn't care much in his heart, because in his opinion, the outside world was already unrecognizable, and the natural environment here in the polar regions was still important?

Of course, Chen Bin's words Dafei could generally listen to him, he nodded, and went around in a circle with Chen Bin to avoid the range of the fledgling's activities.

I didn't find it on the way before, until the two of them arrived near the "glass greenhouse", and they saw that there was a post office, a bar, and even a commissary. However, judging from the business hours on the sign, these convenience facilities are open regularly.

Gunshots rang out from the direction of the Yellow River Station, and Chen Bin and Da Fei looked there and found that the soldiers who had entered the two nearby research stations had found zombies. The two research stations are Bagan Station and Olake Station, which are next to the Yellow River Station, and the zombies found inside should be the scientific research personnel who stayed here last year.

There is nothing unusual in the "glass greenhouse", and the vegetables that were previously cultivated inside have rotted and dried up. There were some liquor and specialty food in the nearby bars and kiosks, and Chen Bin and Da Fei managed to pocket the few supplies after killing a few zombies.

Next, their goal was the Xindu Station, which was not large in size and the building was very monotonous, a one-story bungalow with red walls and red tiles. Although the reliability of the station was established earlier, their country has not invested much in polar scientific research, so the facilities of the scientific research station are relatively simple.

The decoration style of the entrance has a bit of European flavor, and the gate is also wooden, a bit like the style of a country house in Europe and the United States. Chen Bin and Da Fei broke the door lock, and then slammed the door open, the smell in the house was very unpleasant, and the two had to retreat outside, and it took a long time to recover.

Because the door was closed, the temperature inside the house was a little higher than outside, and several corpses inside were so rotten that they couldn't be seen, and a few zombies were wandering around the dark corners, until a sound came from the door that attracted their attention.

"There are zombies," Chen Bin reminded Da Fei.

The two men picked up their guns and began to aim at the zombies that were shaking as they walked by, shooting them to the ground without mercy.

Then they went into the house again and began to make careful rounds. There were no lights in the house, and Chen Bin couldn't find where the generator was, so he didn't dare to go too deep. He and Da Fei only searched a few rooms on the periphery before returning to the outside and giving up their search of the place.

"The smell is so bad," although the door had been opened to let the room down, but after Dafei came out, he couldn't help but complain, "I heard that Xindu people don't use paper to go to the toilet." ”

"What's that for? By hand? Chen Bin asked.

Da Fei nodded and retched a few times, "There is a rancid smell in the room, and there is a little curry-flavored ......." ”

"Don't say it," Chen Bin quickly closed the door again and pulled him out of here.

When the two returned to the Yellow River Station with supplies they had collected from bars and kiosks, several polar trucks were already parked in front of the door.

Xia Yunli selected a few white-bodied ones from those Arctic Trucks and prepared them as the next means of transportation to Longyearbyen.

"Professor Xia, the red rear compartment over there is bigger," Xu Yihang was a little curious about Xia Yunli's choice, in his opinion, there were many people on this trip, and the appearance of these cars seemed to be similar, and the difference might only be the size of the rear compartment and so on.

"They are not the same models, the red ones you got from the garage at the Bléton Gran Research Station, right?" Xia Yunli asked.

Seeing that several soldiers nodded, Xia Yunli continued, "You can look at their tires, these cars at the Blretton Gran Research Station are AT38 models, and their tires are 38 inches. If I'm not mistaken, the cars in the body in white are 44-inch tires, and the chassis and modification concept are different from the AT38. ”

"And such a doorway?" Xu Yihang became interested, he took a closer look just now, and the tires of the red car were indeed a little smaller.

"The Arctic Trucks AT38 is just the most top-of-the-line civilian solution in the current modification system, and the AT37 is similar to it, which can only be regarded as an off-road vehicle capable of exploring the polar regions. The AT44 is a case study of scientific modification, and its performance is close to the extreme in this aspect, and its chassis system belongs to reinvention rather than modification. Of course, its price is also more than 4 times that of the AT38, which means that the cost of an AT44 can buy more than 4 AT38s. ”

"Maozi is rich, so generous!" Zhang Dada was a little staggered.

"Most of the territory of Jipros is in the Arctic Circle, of course they will attach great importance to the scientific expedition here, and their national strength is not weaker than that of Huaguo, so it is not surprising to have this hand," Xia Yunli's words seemed to explain Zhang Dada's amazement.

Now that the two are in comparison, no one will have doubts about Xia Yunli's choice in terms of vehicles.

"Our self-produced Zhanyang Power All-Terrain Polar Vehicle is a backup vehicle for this operation, it has excellent speed and endurance, and can easily cross 0.6 meters of vertical obstacles and 1.5 meters wide trenches, and can work in environments from -41°C to 50°C." After Xia Yunli finished talking about Arctic Trucks, he continued to explain the main force of the operation, the Zhanyang Power All-Terrain Polar Vehicle, "The reason why I set it as a backup vehicle is that in addition to its excellent performance, it also comes with a winch, one end of the cable of more than 30 meters is on the car, and the other end is fixed at other ends, when other vehicles in the team are in trouble, they can rely on their own strength to achieve dragging, self-rescue and mutual rescue." There are 12 people in the car, and the heat preservation in the car is also very good, and it can be maintained at about 10 to 20 °C. ”

"Please select a few team members with outstanding driving skills to be the drivers of our trip, and I will give these people a brief training later, so that they can get familiar with these polar vehicles as soon as possible."

Chen Bin and Da Fei glanced at each other, both of them scratched their heads embarrassedly, their driving skills were still taught by Lao Wei and Monkey, so they couldn't be on the stage at all now.

Fortunately, among the soldiers from the army, several skilled people stood up, Xu Yihang was also one of them, and the number of drivers was enough, and Xia Yunli then assigned vehicles to everyone.

After a busy time, it was time to eat, everyone did not go to the Wangwan company catering center, but chose to open a gang in the Yellow River Station, because tomorrow will be the departure, the next few days will be spent in the wild ice and snow, so this meal is also prepared very richly.

"Eat more, after today, you may not be able to eat hot food for a while," Xia Yunli said to the soldiers, "In addition, if anyone has symptoms of physical discomfort before departure, please bring it up immediately, and we will arrange for you to receive observation and treatment in the base of the Yellow River Station, because the next trip is very difficult, and those who are unwell cannot receive effective treatment on the way, and the situation will be very dangerous at that time." ”

The warrior who had been slightly wounded while chasing pirates near the island of Diomede was left behind, and although he insisted that he could do it, Xu Yihang did not agree to his request to travel with him for safety reasons.

In the afternoon, everyone tested on the ground near the Yellow River Station, and although the drivers selected earlier were excellent, they were all the first time to touch the polar car, so Xia Yun immediately had to give some pointers from time to time. When the Zhanyang Power all-terrain polar vehicle was pulled out of the garage, people who saw its true face for the first time couldn't help but exclaim.

"This is ......," Dafei didn't know what words to use to describe the shape of this car for a while.

"It's like two armored vehicles towed together," Chen Bin commented on the appearance of Zhanyang Power's all-terrain polar vehicle.

Seeing that Xia Yunli was explaining the characteristics of the vehicle to the driver, the two hurried up.

"Zhanyang power all-terrain polar vehicle adopts the front and rear double car body type, which was only put into use in some parts of the country before, and later for the special climate and geographical environment of the polar region, it has carried out a number of technical transformations such as polar low temperature start, low temperature resistance of electrical components, car body insulation, and multi-functional polar equipment, so now you can also show your skills here. We've used it before and it feels very good. ”

What Xia Yunli didn't say is that this Zhanyang Power all-terrain polar vehicle was cooperated by Zhanyang Heavy Industry and Huaguo Polar Research Center, which lasted seven years and completed the localization of manufacturing after more than 20,000 experiments.

"After we set off, we basically ate in the car, so each car was required to carry enough food, and you can stop on the way, but try not to get out of the car. There are many polar bears on Spitsbergen, and most of them are located to the east and south, near the city of Longyearbyen, where the Doomsday Seed Bank is located. It's safe to stay in the car, but once you get out of the car it's hard to say. Many people may think that polar bears are cute, but I want to tell you that they have nothing to do with cute characters. ”

"Polar bears are the largest land carnivores today, and adult polar bears stand upright up to 2.8 meters, what is this concept, yes, it is the height of one floor of our Yellow River Station." Xia Yunli said and took out another iron sealed can, "They can easily tear open this iron can, it's as easy as peeling a banana." ”
