Chapter 280: It's All Frozen

"Don Jr., take out the toolbox in your backpack!"

Tried to knock the door panel with a strong flashlight a few times, but the freezing was too strong, and Wang Gang could only resort to tools to destroy it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was no nonsense, Tang Hongxi hurriedly stepped forward to remove the water backpack on his back, pulled the pull beam and took out the portable toolbox placed at the bottom of the side of the bag.

All the supplies, in addition to personal necessities, Wang Gang also prepared some special items. For example, radio intercoms, maritime telephones, satellite navigation equipment, repair kits, etc.

It stands to reason that the base must have all these things, but it is better to prevent problems before they happen, and the devil knows if the base will encounter any problems.

In Antarctica, there are many examples of sites being destroyed by hurricanes.

And the facts have also proved that Wang Gang's preparedness is still very correct.

Opening the repair toolbox, Wang Qiang took out the file and the small hammer, and then began to break the freeze of the handle.

Such a simple job, but it has become a little troublesome to stay in Antarctica.

However, trouble is trouble, Wang Gang, who is more familiar with ice and snow, still took five minutes to break up all the ice wrapped around the handle.

Without the frozen package, the doorknob finally rediscovered its original appearance: a round handle.

The Antarctic doorknob has a feature, it is different from our common house doorknob, and the common house doorknob is basically the same structure for internal and external use.

And what about Antarctica? The interior and exterior of the doorknobs of the building are completely different.

Outside, a round handle is used.

It looks like a switch, with a long bar of two rods connected to it, mainly in response to the harsh and abrupt weather in Antarctica.

In an emergency, the team can even open the door by hitting the "switch" with the round handle.

On the inside, there is a freezer-like handle, which ensures that the door is closed tightly to prevent indoor temperature loss.

So after the freeze on the handle is cleared, it will be much easier to open the door.

But at this time, Shen Guoguo hesitated, and after a series of "hints" from Shicai, the middle-aged man seemed to have lost the courage to open the door.

Yes! At this moment, Shen Guoguo was a little afraid and scared in his heart.

He was afraid that when the door opened, what would be displayed inside would make him unacceptable.

He was afraid that after the door opened, his last hopes and hopes would be shattered.

It's just that Shen Guoguo didn't move for a long time, and Tang Hongxi didn't have the time to accompany the middle-aged man to continue to cultivate emotions.

This growing momentum is taking away little by little what little heat they have left.

If they continue to stay outside and get frozen, sooner or later they will have to freeze out of the problem.

"Dr. Shen, open the door!!" blurted out a reminder.

But Shen Guoguo was still indifferent as if he had lost his soul.

Since the middle-aged man has lost the courage to open the door, Tang Hongxi doesn't mind helping him do this job.

After living at the Great Wall Station for a week, Tang Hongxi is no stranger to this rather peculiar shape of the switch knob.

He took the first step to fight to Shen Guoguo's side, and then reached out and slapped it the handle of the round handle.

As he slapped down hard, the handle "piston" worked, and then he heard the "click" crisp sound, and closed the door lock to open.

However, because the door has not been opened for a long time, the steel plate and door rails have long been frozen by ice and snow.

As a last resort, Wang Gang can only take on the role of repair wrecker again.

the hammer and file, along the edge of the door, "Ding Ding Bang", Wang Gang knocked it all the time.

After covering the edge of the door railing, the gap was frozen and knocked clean, Tang Hongxi and Wang Gang pulled the stance, and after hitting hard, the door finally lived up to expectations under the two of them...... It's opened!!

Subconsciously took two steps back, and Tang Hongxi retreated to the side.

Although he urgently needed to get inside the house to take shelter because of the cold, he ...... The situation of the students and the abnormal bats that don't know whether they are true or false all make Tang Hongxi have to pay attention to his scruples.

The flashlight was shining inward, and it was clear that there was no one in the house.

In this case, even if people are resting, they should wake up from the movement just now.

"Old Shen, where is the switch? We've got to get it lit up! "After walking in the dark for ten minutes outside, everyone has had enough of this boundless darkness.

Just on your left, Shen Guoguo, who had returned to his senses, stepped in the door, and pointed behind Wang Gang.

"Ah, this!" His eyes fell on the plastic cover of the back wall, Wang Gang picked it open, and then pressed the main switch inside.

"Smack!" No response.

"Smack! Smack!" Still no response.

After several successive attempts to no avail, Wang Gang changed his habitual smile and said solemnly: "Everyone, I think we are in big trouble." ”

What's the big trouble?

There was a problem with the power supply at the base.

It's nothing if it's in the next place, isn't it just a power outage, and you can deal with it without having to pour it.

But in Antarctica, it's different, and if you don't have electricity, you can't heat your house.

You must know that the low temperature here is not as simple as minus 1 or 20 degrees, and in severe cases, the temperature in Antarctica can drop to minus 8 or 90 degrees, plus the wind is blowing, even if you hide in the house, it is useless.

Therefore, at this time, the importance of electricity to the five-person group is self-evident, it is not only about their living needs, but directly related to their survival plan.

Wang Gang's words made everyone in the room shocked.

The "harm" of no electricity in Antarctica, Ma Zhenxing specifically told Tang Hongxi and others.

Therefore, when they heard that there was a problem with the power system of the base, everyone could imagine what they were thinking.

"Wait a minute! Let's not talk about it so dead now! Maybe it's just that the generator didn't start. Wang, will you start the generator? Tang Hongxi raised his hand to signal everyone not to panic.

As a reborn in the last days, he knows very well what happens when people are nervous and panicked in extreme circumstances.

"Yes!"

"Okay, Dr. Shen, I think you should have a special power generation building here, right?" From the outside, the base looks like a long line, although the area is not as good as the Great Wall Station, but the scale is OK.

Therefore, Tang Hongxi believes that if the Shen National Research Team can be stationed here for half a month, the corresponding supporting facilities of this base must be complete, and the power generation building, which is related to the life and death of researchers, is naturally the top priority.

"Yes!" Shen Guoguo nodded decisively: "We have three sets of standing diesel generators here. There is also a solar sampan on top. But ......"

"But what!?" Frowning, Tang Hongxi asked.

However, according to the regulations, the three diesel generators of the base must be guaranteed to start uninterrupted in winter, and if one of the generators fails, then within 15 minutes, another must be started. But now ......"

Shaking his head, Shen Guoguo hung his head powerlessly and did not continue.

But what he wanted to say was obvious.
