Fifteen minutes is not fast, slow is not slow, but in the bitterly cold Antarctic, time seems to pass forever. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The figure of the quintet in the snowy night is like five black dots.

Tough! Embarrassed! The legs that stepped on the snow were as if they were filled with lead.

The most important snow cover in Antarctica is not due to snowfall, but to the fact that it is located in the polar easterly belt, the ice sheet is thick and the wind is strong, and the wind blows and deposits many loose ice debris and gradually forms snow cover.

In addition, the high latitude of Antarctica, the low temperature, and the slow evaporation, so the snow is accumulating more and more.

During the days of living and waiting at the Great Wall Station, Tang Hongxi was not idle, and he would go to communicate and learn with the team members in the station if he had nothing to do.

Although the ordeal of a week was noisy and boring, he learned a lot from the team members.

Just as everyone was about to be tossed to death by the damn wind and snow, a row of white, blue and red strips of buildings appeared in front of the five's field of vision.

"It's here! Keep up your efforts, we're here! Shen Guoguo's words could not hide the excitement.

It's no wonder that the whole team, I'm afraid it's hard to find a second person who can look forward to "going home" like a middle-aged person.

If there is, it's just that the cold wind outside can't stand it, and I want to quickly enter the base to avoid the cold.

He turned the flashlight in his hand, and with the help of the light of the strong flashlight, Tang Hongxi found that the row of buildings was far longer than expected.

Resting on this uninhabited realm, it seems to be an ancient "frost dragon".

But gradually, Tang Hongxi's brows furrowed, and then he stepped back and asked, "Dr. Shen, do you have no one to do when your base rests?" ”

"Stay, what's wrong?"

"Oh, you see, all the windows inside the base are dark, if you have people to keep vigil, it shouldn't be...... Is it on? ”

After Tang Hongxi's voice settled, everyone called the flashlight one after another, and Bai Muya replied immediately: "Will the small energy-saving lamp be used, and the light cannot be seen outside?" ”

"Hey! Old Shen, slow down! Don't worry! It's slippery! Wang Gang suddenly drank and pulled back the attention of everyone who was still discussing.

Seeing Shen Guoguo speeding up, how could Tang Hongxi and the others still ink behind?

There was no way, and one by one they followed up and accelerated.

Tang Hongxi's words made Shen Guoguo feel bottomless.

Indeed, as the young man questioned, the base should not have all the lights off at this juncture.

Even if you save electricity, it won't come to this point.

You must know that their base also has a special power generation building.

Although solar energy cannot be used during the eternal night in winter, there are three high-power diesel generators and sufficient diesel fuel in the station, which can fully cope with the electricity used for life and scientific research inside and outside the base.

Then before contacting, the students could not reply to the phone calls, and now the base building is dark and dull, and a hint of foreboding began to spring up in Shen Guoguo's heart.

Could it be that something happened to your own students?

With this worry and worry, Shen Guoguo ran forward regardless of it.

Otherwise, human potential is forced out.

This fifteen-minute long journey has already tossed more than fifty Shen Guoguo.

But now, when he thought of the situation that his students might encounter, Shen Guoguo, who was already exhausted, rushed forward as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Rao is Du Guolong, and Tang Hongxi were all left behind by the "suffocated" Shen Guoguo.

The five flashlights staggered and swayed, wheezing violently and drinking the storm to play a tense and exciting rhythm percussion.

Finally, Shen Guoguo rushed to the foot of the base.

The reason why it is said to be under the feet is because the entire base is held in the air by thick cylindrical steel columns.

Regarding the purpose of this approach, Tang Hongxi also asked the members of the Great Wall Station.

The answer given to him by the other party was to reduce the resistance of the wind and prevent the accumulation of "blowing snow" on the windward side or the burial of the building by ice and snow; At the same time, avoid direct contact between the lower part of the building and the ice and snow on the ground, which is conducive to keeping the room warm and saving energy.

Holding on to the railing, Shen Guoguo took a few big breaths.

After all, these years are not forgiving, and it is already a very physical and energy-consuming thing to move forward against the wind and snow, especially in bad weather like now.

What's more, the five-person group had already trekked for fifteen or six minutes on a long snowy night before.

"How are you? Old Shen? "It is true that he has lived close to the Antarctic boundary, and Wang Gang's running speed in the ice and snow is not slow.

Catching up with Shen Guoguo, he asked with concern.

Waving his hand, Shen Guoguo straightened up and looked upstairs, then pointed twice and said, "I, I'm fine, let's go, let's go up." ”

said that it was okay, but Shen Guoguo's undulating chest and the white mist that kept exhaling betrayed him deeply.

"Come on, I'll help you up!" Reaching out his hand, Wang Gang slowly walked up with Shen Guoguo's shoulder.

At this time, Tang Hongxi, Bai Muya, and Du Guolong were also embarrassed and arrived later.

The five men moved carefully along the steel frame steps with heavy steps.

The stairs are thick and covered with snow and ice, indicating that the place has not been cleared for a long time.

This kind of detailed situation made Shen Guoguo feel even more uneasy.

Because according to the regulations, the base should send someone to clean the snow around the base every day.

This is a must for security reasons, but for now......

Climbing to the top of the steps, Shen Guoguo's breath became heavier.

In extremely cold conditions, people's own blood flow will be slowed down, and such a high-intensity, fast-paced excessive exercise will lead to a uncomfortable feeling of poor breathing.

The current Shen Guoguo has obviously encountered this situation.

But for the students' worries, Shen Guoguo couldn't care about these at all.

The doorknob has been completely wrapped in snow and ice.

This further shows that there may be no one in the building, otherwise even if Shen Guoguo is not responsible, the students are lazy and do not follow the relevant regulations to clean the ice and snow outside the base, and they can even ignore the door handles to enter and exit the base, which is too ......

Raise your hand to sweep away the snow on the upper layer of the handle, and the inside is a thick layer of frozen crystal clear.

When Wang Gang was dealing with the doorknob, Shen Guoguo was afraid of hitting the door panel.

The gate of the Antarctic base, in order to be able to resist the wind, is at least ten centimeters thick, and the sound of such a heavy steel plate is quite special.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

Shen Guoguo's tapping did not answer.

"Anyone? Open the door, I'm Shen Guoguo!! ”

Shen Guoguo, who didn't give up, called again, but the result was still the same, and the house was still silent.

At this point, the answer seems obvious.

However, Shen Guoguo's heart did not feel relaxed at all because of this almost certain answer, on the contrary, questions such as "where are the students going" and "how are the students" began to haunt his mind.
