After lunch, we prepared our equipment and flew directly to Kunlun Station by helicopter. [ .. Kunlun Station is the only scientific research station in China in the hinterland of the Antarctic continent. The Great Wall and Zhongshan stations are both on the edge of the Antarctic continent, and all kinds of equipment are worse than Kunlun stations, and these two stations are basically used as transit stations and warehouse storage stations. Starting from Kunlun Station is also for the sake of safety, now the ice sheet in Antarctica is melting very quickly, and the only way to get closer to the center is the safer it is.

This flight was lucky, and the plane arrived at Kunlun Station smoothly. According to the pilot, it is rare to have such weather here, although the summer is much better than the winter, but on weekdays it is also a ** level of strong winds, some mountain passes have an average wind force of twelve or three levels, and the maximum wind force of seventeen or eight is a common thing. When we got here, we knew that the wind here was not at the same level as the inland, although there was only a six-level wind, but the wind mixed with ice particles was like a knife, and after a while, the face was like being cut a few times, hot and painful. The nose is even worse, at the beginning there was a runny nose, and after a while, the nose was frozen, the nose was red, but it was not breathable, and the uncomfortable feeling was simply not something that could be described in words.

The pilot who sent us here smiled and said, "You guys are already good, the temperature is only minus 37 degrees Celsius, which is much higher than usual." I don't know why the temperature is so high today, it's more than 40 degrees on weekdays, this temperature of more than minus 30 degrees is simply a miracle, I have been in the Antarctic continent for almost a year, and this is the first time I have seen a temperature of more than minus 30 degrees. ”

Gao Ping looked at me and asked, "Boss, you often go in and out of the deep mountains and old forests of the Great Xing'an Mountains, and you have never experienced such a low temperature?" Why do I think you're more afraid of the cold than I am? ”

I said angrily: "I go to the Daxinganling area in the summer. You think I'm stupid to run there in the middle of winter. The winter in the Great Khing'an Mountains area is also minus forty or fifty degrees, will I go to find that sin? ”

The pilot said: "The winter in the Northeast is indeed very cold, but. It's a far cry from here. The average temperature here is about minus 60 degrees, but this year is special, this is caused by the earth's deviation from orbit, but the average temperature here is still about minus 45 degrees. It's really strange today, there is a high temperature of minus 37 degrees, which is really abnormal. The temperature has risen very rapidly in recent days. It's more than 20 degrees higher than a month ago, and if this continues, the temperature here will be above zero for another two or three months. ”

Leng Feng looked at the pilot and said, "I said, why don't you go to the base first, you're almost freezing to death here, and it's hard to breathe, why aren't you in a hurry?" ”

"Haha, it's hard to breathe." A heroic voice came, a stout Chinese character wearing a sheepskin coat. The dogskin hat was wrapped like a big rice dumpling, and except for the heroic laughter, it was impossible to see what it looked like. We ignored him and quickly ran to the room behind him.

When I walked into the room, I immediately felt warm. I didn't expect this house to be so well insulated, and there was no trace of heat dissipated outside. There were six or seven people in the room, smiling as we ran to the stove to make a fire. Didn't speak. After waiting for us all to warm up, an old man smiled and said, "Hello. I'm Li Yu, and I'm the stationmaster of this scientific research station, and you can come to me for anything. ”

I hurriedly stood up, walked over and shook his hand, and said, "Hello, I am Shui Xinyue, the captain of this scientific expedition team. Nice to meet you. ”

Li Yu said with a smile: "I am also honored that you are the first scientific expedition team to come here since the establishment of this scientific expedition team ten years ago. We don't have many people here because it's difficult to deliver all kinds of supplies. This is the highest point of the Antarctic continent, with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters. The average temperature is more than minus 60 degrees. This year, though, is a little better, and the temperature is not that low. However, the oxygen concentration here is very low, only 60% of the oxygen on land, so it is difficult to breathe, especially when going out to investigate, and the temperature is too low, many people feel out of breath. The place you are going to is not far from here, only five or six hundred kilometers, which is already very close. Apart from the United States, Russia, France, we are the only ones who are closest there. There are many scientific research stations on the Antarctic continent, more than 50 of them, but only four of us are close to the center. ”

I nodded and said, "You have been here all year round, do you have any good suggestions?" Or is there any danger that we should pay special attention to? Have you been there? ”

Li Yu shook his head and said, "Although we are here all the year round, we all avoid going to the central location, so we are not familiar with it, and there is nothing that can help you." It's not just us, it's the same with the U.S. team. After all, there are flying saucers that come and go there so often that we don't dare to go there. ”

I squinted my eyes and asked word by word, "Flying saucer, often, in and out?" ”

Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes, it's often, it's not wrong, it's often." ”

I nodded and said, "It seems that we have found our destination this time." The secret of the Mayans is indeed here, could this be their only base on Earth? Maybe this place was carved out by their ancestors. I looked at the crowd, "This should be our last stop, let's rest today, and tomorrow we'll leave for the center." We've been leaving for almost two months later than other countries, so I don't think it's that dangerous. ”

Ye Simin said: "Professor Shui, that's not what you say. Although we set off two months late, the danger is to develop to two poles, and it is possible that they used as cannon fodder as you said, and cleared mines for future generations. But it is also possible that their recklessness angered the aliens there, and it may be that they increased the danger to future generations. In addition, the increase in temperature here may lead to a large increase in ice crevasses. In short, I think there are too many uncertainties, so it's better to be careful. ”

Gao Gao Ping looked at me and said, "Boss, I think what Ye Simin said is very reasonable, we really have to be careful." ”

I nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." To be honest, I still agree with Ye Simin's second guess, what I have been worried about is the second one, think about it carefully, maybe the second one is correct. "I remembered what Ye Manqing said to me, this time we will sacrifice seven or eight of us, no matter how I think about it, I feel that the second guess is correct. It's just that I don't dare to say Ye Manqing's words, for fear of causing panic. Now, except for Wang Zhiqiang, there may be no one who comes with the heart of death.

Li Yu looked at us and said, "You go to the back room to rest, you said that our usual resting place will be given to you today, and we will just sit here for one night." If you're sleepy tomorrow, we can take turns resting, and you won't have that luck. When you go out, remember to dig a big pit and put your tent in the pit when you pitch your tent. This reduces the impact of strong winds, and secondly, it can also keep warm inside the ice pit. You know, there are a lot of houses here that are made of ice, and we all live in those houses when we go out because it's very warm. As long as it's not blowing in the wind, you can keep warm anywhere. Be sure to keep these in mind. ”

We nodded our heads in mind. These things are all experiences, and they are fundamentally different from the things in books. Just these things can give us a little more certainty of survival.

Li Yu smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, take them to rest." A girl beside him agreed, picked up a few leather clothes and put them on, and said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll take you to rest." "The girl is not pretty, but she is very delicate, with the youthfulness of a small jasper and the innocence of a girl next door. Everyone felt very peaceful, and there was a sense of intimacy circulating through the crowd.

Early the next morning, we changed into the clothes that the state had prepared for us. We wore down jackets when we came, and now the state gives us leather jackets. These leather coats are not ordinary leather coats, but are made of pure sheepskin and waterproof fabric. Near the inside is sheepskin, the waterproof fabric outside can not only be waterproof, but also wind-resistant, plus sheepskin also has the effect of wind resistance, so although it is in the wind, it is still warm, unlike the down jacket is not warm when the wind is blowing.

Li Yu saw us getting dressed, and said with a smile: "Originally, the country was going to use the fur of the blue fox for you, but the fur of the blue fox is too expensive, not only a luxury for the rich, but also too small. These sheepskins have been proven to be much more resistant to wind and cold than blue fox skins, and they are inexpensive. Looking at our somewhat green eyes, Li Yu hurriedly said: "However, you must not underestimate these sheepskins, this is imported from Australia, and the sheepskins in our country are not so good." You should be content, we still wear our country's sheepskins, and we don't even dare to think about imported sheepskins. ”

Lu Liang pouted and said, "Come on, Li Yu, you don't want to think about it, what do we do?" We're gambling with our lives, so why don't you do this work? I'm embarrassed to compare with us. I'm telling you, if we all die, there won't be a second team like ours in the country. Don't look at us dressed better and feel unbalanced, we still envy you, at least not so dangerous. ”

Li Yu smiled awkwardly and said curtly: "I know, I know." Go out, and I will leave you alone. Remember what I said yesterday, don't let the things that are useful to you fall on deaf ears. (To be continued.) )
