As Wang Gang said before leaving, after arriving at the Eduardo Frey Montalva Presidential Base of the Chilean Air Force on King George Island, Tang Hongxi took a look at the time, and it took them exactly 3 hours and 15 minutes from departure to landing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the real helicopter was turned off, two red polar vehicles immediately approached from both sides, and then several soldiers came down from above.

"Come down, it will take time to unload, come with me into the house and rest." The officer was very polite and ordered Wang Gang.

After Wang Gang heard this, he hurriedly relayed it.

After that, the group followed the officer to the barracks.

Inside, the officer ordered someone to prepare hot water for the group of five.

Tang Hongxi stood in front of the window with hot water in his hand, and it was pitch black outside the base at the moment.

Although the snow is not heavy, the freezing temperature is still very uncomfortable.

Rao is panting for thick cold-proof clothing, and Tang Hongxi's cheeks are still red from the cold.

Soldiers are unloading cargo at the helicopter.

They came here this time with a lot of loads.

"Xiao Wang, when are we going to go to Zhongshan Station?"

It had only been less than five minutes since he entered the house to rest, and Shen Guoguo was a little impatient to ask.

In this regard, Wang Gang is also quite helpless.

He can understand Shen Guoguo's anxiety very well, but he can't be in a hurry when he asks someone to do something right now.

After all, such bad weather is not just anyone who can afford to fly a plane.

"Don't worry, Dr. Shen, this batch of materials will be distributed to several national scientific research sites on the island, and when they finish carrying and returning, we will set off with the car."

Nodding, Shen Guoguo, who understood the situation, stopped talking, and paced back and forth in the room with a teacup like a polio patient, and everyone could see his anxiety and nervousness.

As the minutes ticked by, the soldiers worked hard to distribute boxes of well-wrapped supplies to the polar rover.

Tang Hongxi counted the ones who came later, and there were already 4 polar cars on the tarmac at the moment.

I really didn't expect that there would be so many countries with scientific research sites in such a desolate and harsh area as the southern tip of the earth.

The whole loading and unloading work lasted for nearly twenty minutes or so, and as soon as the soldiers over there left, they listened to Shen Guoguo's anxious urging: "Okay, okay, Xiao Wang, they're okay, we can go, right?" ”

Glancing at the officer who was reviewing the documents on the seat, Wang Gang shook his head and motioned for Shen Guoguo to calm down.

Here all the commands had to listen to the man in the seat, and they could not leave until he had spoken.

About two minutes later, a soldier knocked on the door and entered the house.

After a brief report on the completion of the loading and unloading work, a record sheet was handed over to the officer.

After comparing it with the bill of goods he had at hand, the officer wrote and drew a few strokes on the document, which was regarded as completing the handover of the materials.

Then, in the anticipation of the crowd of "tourists", he put on his hat and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

When he heard Wang Gang's relayed order, Shen Guoguo opened the door first, and for him, it was good to save an extra second now.

Following the officers, the foursome got on a polar vehicle.

According to the officer, the materials unloaded by Shicai will be delivered by four polar rovers to the research stations of various countries scattered on King George Island today.

And they are now taking this bus to the Great Wall Station of China.

It's 1:15 p.m., but the whole outdoors is completely dark.

The driver only relied on the vehicle's searchlight to move forward on the vast ice and snow road.

To be honest, walking in this kind of place really gives people a creepy feeling.

If the vehicle breaks down or the chain stops at this juncture, it is definitely a very "exciting" thing.

"How far is Zhongshan Station from us?" Du Guolong asked curiously.

Shen Guoguo immediately replied: "It's not far, ten minutes by car." ”

However, in fact, the convoy walked for more than half an hour and did not reach its destination.

In this regard, Shen Guoguo naturally questioned: "I said Lao Shen, what's the situation?" Don't you say ten minutes by car? How to ...... now? Hey, you won't be in the dark for a few nights and you can't see the wrong place, right? ”

At this time, Wang Gang turned his face and explained, "Dr. Shen, you came here here before in the summer, right?" ”

"Well, our team came at the beginning of the year. What's wrong? ”

"That's right, at the beginning of the year in Antarctica or in summer, the climatic conditions are stronger than now in all aspects. It's okay for you to walk on the ice and drive quickly, after all, it's daytime, but now it's ......."

Pointing out the window, Wang Gang shook his head with a wry smile: "The black light is blind, the road is slippery, and it is easy to have an accident if you don't drive slowly." ”

The trouble that the polar night brings to human life and work is really big enough, not to mention, this transportation alone is a big problem.

There is no doubt that the driver's eyes are fine, he is on the right path.

To be precise, there is no big problem with the eyes of drivers driving in Antarctica, because driving in the polar night environment relies more on satellite navigation for positioning.

Otherwise, it is easy to get lost in the wind and snow during the walk.

Just like that, I drove slowly on a snowy night at a speed that was almost like a turtle crawling.

After about 5 minutes or so, a row of bright spots gradually appeared in front of everyone's field of vision.

At the approaching point, the five-star red flag fluttering in the sky can be vaguely seen.

Agitated! Lament! It's really hard for you to imagine the feeling of walking in the boundless darkness for nearly 40 minutes, seeing the lights and seeing the five-star red flag.

Rao is like Tang Hongxi, who is very pessimistic about everything and feels that people who don't care can hardly hide their excitement at this moment.

Not to mention Shen Guoguo, his breathing in the car was the most rapid.

"It's here, it's here, we're here!"

Where Wang Gang needs to explain more, the five-star red flag standing high in the sky and fluttering in the wind has explained everything very well.

To be able to see the five-star red flag at this juncture, in such a remote and uninhabited place, you will really be sincerely proud of the strength of the motherland.

The car drove steadily into the Great Wall Station, which was larger than I had imagined, with more than a dozen large and small buildings, but Tang Hongxi still didn't know what these buildings were for.

As soon as the car heard about it, a group of people immediately gathered up.

The door was opened, and the officer in charge of escorting the supplies was the first to get out of the car.

He had to hand over supplies to site personnel.

As for the foursome, there are special personnel to receive them.

"Ouch, Lao Shen, let's meet again!" As soon as Shen Guoguo got out of the car, he came to greet the crowd and immediately walked by.

Because the night is not too good to distinguish the other party's face, but judging from the silhouette sound, the man should not be young.

"Dr. Ma? Hello, why are you still here? Didn't go back? Shen Guoli was quite surprised.

Because according to common sense, generally in the polar night of Antarctica, due to the climate is not conducive to scientific expeditions, some personnel in the scientific research sites will be transferred back to China.

On the one hand, we will take a break and further study the various types of information collected in Antarctica.
