Whether it is the cold protection of clothes, the light of the flashlight, or the accuracy of GPS navigation, it is very good.
According to Shen Guoguo's orders, the trio lined up sideways, no more than one meter away from each other.
In this way, it can not only increase the exploration area but also speed up the efficiency; It also ensures the safety of the team and prevents anyone from getting lost in the snow.
The current wind and snow are significantly weaker than before, but that is only relatively.
It is still very difficult for people to go away.
Walking in Antarctica, you can feel the enthusiasm of the wind all the time.
Facing the wind, the strong thrust will make you feel like you are taking off, and you can't predict what kind of "surprise" the next wind and wave will bring you.
And against the wind, it's like a boulder in front of you, and you have to wrestle with this boulder every step you take.
In addition, the high altitude causes the air to be thin and there is little oxygen, and humans without adequate oxygen supply are prone to hypoxia, ischemia, dizziness and discomfort.
It's no joke to have this kind of situation in Antarctica, it's really deadly.
Fortunately, Tang Hongxi and Du Guolong's physical fitness is not bad, and he can survive in a short time to deal with this kind of wind and snow.
As for Shen Guoguo, although his physical fitness cannot be compared with that of Bi Tang and Du, he has been living in Antarctica for half a year, and his adaptability alone is not bad.
So at the moment, walking outside, the trio is also at ease.
The flashlight kept sweeping in the snow, and Shen Guoguo shouted two sentences of his student's name from time to time.
Of course, the result speaks for itself, and there is no movement in the empty outdoors except for the howling and raging wind.
Going forward, this kind of snowy night search is no less than a boat on the sea.
If it weren't for GPS to help locate you, let alone find someone, you wouldn't even have a hard time identifying the cardinal direction.
As far as the eye can see, there is no difference at all in the whole road.
Even if you look like this now, in half an hour or ten minutes...... It might give you half a face.
This shows the danger of going out to walk in Antarctica.
As time went on, the trio, who were still at ease, began to experience varying degrees of discomfort.
First and foremost is fatigue.
The thin air makes it difficult to breathe, slows down the blood flow, and then the body temperature drops rapidly, eventually overwhelming the body.
In addition, the long-term fruitless search is also a potential blow to the team's momentum.
Once the two reasons overlapped, the trio naturally lost the motivation they had when they set off.
"Pony!! Down!! PatrickοΌοΌ Although his body had been alarmed, Shen Guoguo was still drinking.
"Dr. Shen, it's almost, we've been looking for more than half an hour, it's time to go back!" Tang Hongxi said hello.
"Nope! They can go a long way in half an hour! We keep looking! "No surprise refusal.
Tang Hongxi immediately said: "Dr. Shen, further on the island, there is no point in continuing to look for it." The weather is starting to deteriorate again, and we have to go back! β
"Walk forward, walk in ten minutes and we'll be!"
"Nope! Ten minutes! β
"Good! Listen to you! Just 10 minutes! β
Bargaining is like buying and selling in a vegetable market.
Tang Hongxi can't help it, the current Shen Guoguo is not the middle-aged professor in Rio who is easy to talk.
Nowadays, Shen Guoguo can definitely give up his life for the sake of his students, so he must be bored if he persuades him to come hard, and following his temper is the king.
In this way, the trio moved forward for about ten minutes, and even Du Guolong couldn't bear it anymore: "Okay, ten minutes is up, let's go back!" β
Du Guolong is not as patient as Tang Hongxi, what does he say.
In the current situation, neither the actual weather conditions nor the physical strength of the three of them are enough to support the continued search outside.
In such a toss, it was really a joke of his own life.
Two to one, the minority obeys the majority, and Shen Guoguo must not lead the team back.
But it was also thanks to his decision to agree, because the wind and snow were really getting bigger and bigger.
Every step was difficult, and the situation became more and more critical.
Originally, there was more than one meter of vision, but now I can't see people clearly.
The trio had to shorten their distance from each other.
In the end, forced to be safe, Shen Guoguo had to call Du Guolong to take off the rope on his body.
Then the horizontal column changed to a vertical column, and the three people advanced in order.
The first is Du Guolong, who is holding GPS positioning in front of the way.
Shen Guoguo is in the middle, and he should have been the first job, but for physical reasons, he can only stay in the middle.
Tang Hongxi was in charge of the palace, and the three of them trekked in the ice and snow night according to this formation.
The biting snow and ice are relentlessly raging, and in such cold weather, whatever you wear is for nothing.
Tang Hongxi couldn't help but admire the emperor penguins he saw these days, those guys could survive in such a harsh environment.
Therefore, it must be admitted that each species on the earth has its own characteristics and abilities, and human beings are not absolutely dominant.
It's the same forty minutes away, but the state of the turnaround is completely different from when it came.
The trio's physical fitness began to decline in a straight line.
At this stage, no matter how physical you were before, the Antarctic continent will not tell you that.
Whether it is Tang Hongxi or Du Guolong, it is the first time for them to walk outdoors in Antarctica.
Although I have been out at Antarctic Station before, it has only been limited to the area around the base.
It seems that it is the first time to trek for dozens of minutes in the wind and snow like this.
It is precisely because of his lack of experience that he is called Tang Hongxi, and Du Guolong seriously underestimated the strength of the Antarctic blizzard.
Shen Guoguo knew about this, but the middle-aged man only thought about searching for students, and didn't care about it at all.
Now it's good...... The three of them were unusually embarrassed.
And that's not even the worst.
The unbearable state of the body does not change because you are strong-willed.
Shen Guoli is undoubtedly the most determined one in the current team, and he is absolutely concerned about going out to search for students.
But at the same time, the physical fitness of middle-aged people is unavoidable, and it is the worst one.
Coupled with the fruitless investigation, Shen Guoguo is now a double blow of energy and physical strength.
And then...... And so tragedy happened.
Shen Guoguo, who was in a trance, was not paying attention, the soles of his feet slipped, and his already weak calves were unable to adjust at all, and then he disappeared from Tang Hongxi's field of vision.
"Dr. Shen!!" Tang Hongxi, who felt the pulling force of the rope, subconsciously blurted out.
Du Guolong turned his face and looked, and hurriedly ran after a quick walk.
"How are you!?"
Shen Guoguo sat in the snow pit, a little embarrassed: "I, I'm fine." β
The butt pressed against the snow, but it relieved the momentum of Shen Guoguo's sudden fall.
Du Guolong pulled Shen Guoguo up, frowned and admonished: "Old Shen be careful, watch the road!" β
"Got it!"
"Alright, let's go!"
