"You're really damned...... If the problem just now is not the fiber optic cable, but the steel cable......"

Wang Rui was amazed and patted Putem who came out of the No. 4 prototype.

"Hehe, God the old man doesn't want me to go to heaven so soon."

"Come on, just you? Also worthy of heaven? Wang Rui pursed his lips, ignoring Putem's boasting.

It's a good thing that people are fine, and after Putham checked his body and confirmed that there were no problems, an engineer began to check what was wrong with the fiber optic cable.

Seeing that the matter had been interrupted, Chen Yang had no intention of continuing the beta test, so he called Captain Hamm and ordered the ship to leave immediately.

In this way, after a pause of more than half an hour in this sea area, the icebreaker once again "set sail" towards the predetermined course.

"In just over half an hour, we will arrive at Rattadi Island......"

Hamm clicked lightly on the tablet map, and the high-definition map was enlarged in an instant, showing the island of Rattadi in front of Chen Yang.

Chen Yang nodded, "Once there, head to Thurston Island." ”

"Well, I understand, sir."

A few hours passed quickly, and just as Chen Yang was sitting in his room resting, someone reported that he was about to arrive on Thurston Island.

Walking out of the room and coming to the deck, Chen Yang raised his eyes and looked into the distance, the dark sky was cold and biting, and the cold wind was whistling, blowing Chen Yang's coat hunting.

At this moment, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, and it was obviously impossible to land in this situation. The icebreaker came to a halt, ready to spend the cold night and discuss other matters after dawn tomorrow.

According to the map of the cube, even after landing, there are still more than 250 kilometers to go, so things are actually in a hurry. Chen Yang can only be patient. After dinner, I returned to my room to continue to rest and recuperate.

The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Yang got up and finished breakfast, and gathered all the members of the EMER team who were ready to leave this time.

The EMER team that set off with Chen Yang this time was all selected from the elite of all mercenaries, and both their physical strength and their own strength were considered to be the top level in the world.

There were thirteen strong men in total. plus Chen Yang, Wang Rui, Shadow, and Putem, there are seventeen people. In terms of numbers, it is far more than enough. In fact, in the purgatory of Antarctica, the number of people is not too important, and people often face not their own enemies, but the harsh environment of Antarctica itself.

From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many people have lost their lives in Antarctica, because they have suffered a big loss of insufficient preparation.

It was before Chen Yang set off this time. I made great efforts to prepare a lot of equipment in advance. In addition to warm clothes and portable food to replenish the body, Chen Yang also rented the maritime satellite telephone service of China Mobile Satellite Corporation to carry out emergency communication and data transmission in Antarctica.

Speaking of which, although the earth is now known as the "global village" because of the development of science and technology, the fact is that in many places, communication is not convenient. Even communication and digital transmission are very restricted.

In order to be able to keep his plans secret and Andres' needs, Chen Yang plans to purchase a batch of fourth-generation mobile communication satellites. Launched through the international company SEALAUNCH, it forms Andres's own network of communications satellites.

Anyway, the price of commercial satellites is relatively cheap now, and the cost of forming a network of more than ten satellites is more than one billion US dollars.

"I've already told you about this mission, so I'll explain it in advance. The mission is extremely dangerous, and the possibility of death cannot be ruled out...... So, if you don't want to participate in this mission, you can quit now. ”

Sitting in the chairman's seat in the makeshift conference room, Chen Yang tapped his fingers on the table. Said without hurrying.

The remaining sixteen people present looked at Chen Yang, and none of them planned to quit.

What are you kidding, joining the EMER Special Emergency Response Task Force has signed so many non-disclosure agreements, and the price of getting good compensation and benefits is to sell your life to the company.

Knowing so many secrets, if you quit the mission now, everyone can imagine it with their toes, and the end is not optimistic.

Whatever the reason, at least no one quit even though everyone knew that the mission was dangerous.

"Good."

Chen Yang said in a deep voice: "Since no one has chosen to quit, then okay, let's start the mission." ”

At nine o'clock, the sky in the Antarctic lit up slightly, and after seeing that the line of sight was okay, the icebreaker increased its horsepower and drove towards the shore.

Layers of thin ice were piled up under the hull, and under the huge horsepower of the icebreaker, they quickly shattered and crashed open, leaving a narrow waterway behind the hull. Unfortunately, in less than half an hour, this improvised waterway was filled with ice floes that came one after another, and it was restored to its original state.

It is said to be the shore, but it is actually a relatively thick layer of ice. The thickness of the ice that the icebreaker can break is about three or four meters, and no matter how thick it is, not only can it not be hit, but it may also be trapped, so it is to wait for the news from the people in front of it that the ice thickness exceeds four meters, and the entire icebreaker will stop.

"Alright, Captain Hamm, we'll keep in touch."

"Yes, sir, I'll stay here forever."

The icebreaker's supply was enough to feed the entire ship for more than three months, so Hamm naturally didn't worry about supplies.

The ship stopped, and the action began.

Seventeen people in front and behind first got off the boat, and then lifted the equipment down through a guò crane. Chen Yang is now wealthy, and he will not be stingy in this Antarctic expedition, and has purchased three snow cruisers, each of which is eight meters long, using wire-reinforced rubber tracks, with a load of about five tons, and a maximum speed of 60 kilometers per hour in the snow and ice.

With these three snowmobiles, not only can Chen Yang carry a lot of supplies, but even the weapons can be equipped and used at will, and the cost of 30 million US dollars is worth it.

"Boss, everything has been checked and there are no problems."

Wang Rui led people to re-check all the equipment and supplies, and after confirming that everything was correct, he came to Chen Yang to report.

"No problem, let's go."

Chen Yang stared at the "white" sun in the sky in the distance, "Today is still a good day, I hope it will be smooth." ”

Although the destination is only more than 250 kilometers and the maximum speed of the snowmobile is as high as 60 kilometers per hour, it is reasonable to say that it can reach the destination in more than four hours, but the formula does not calculate it this way. In order to ensure safety, the snowmobile can only travel at a safe speed of 30 kilometers, and there may be detours and slits along the way, so it will be difficult to reach the destination in the ideal eight hours.

In addition, he can't rush at night, so Chen Yang estimates that if he sets off at half past nine o'clock, then maybe it will be very good to arrive at his destination at noon tomorrow.

Ten days of waiting time have passed, seeing that the target is not far away, Chen Yang is not in a hurry for this day or two days, after instructing everyone to pay attention to safety matters, he sat on the snowmobile in the center and let the team move forward!

The snowmobile's tracks turned, and one rushed out first, followed by the next two, forming a neat queue one after the other, driving towards the target on the vast white ground.

Wang Rui, who was sitting in the car, was still deeply interested in the Antarctic ice scene outside at first, but after only watching it for ten minutes, he only felt bored, and his eyes were dazzled by the white ice and snow, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.

After three hours of driving along a predetermined target route on the ice, the convoy slowly came to a halt and was ready to rest for lunch and then.

The weather in Antarctica this time they set off was really good, the sun was shining directly on everyone, although it didn't bring any temperature and heat, at least it was good to comfort people's hearts.

"It's really uninhabited here......"

Chen Yang has been to Nevada and New York in the parallel world, but all places actually have traces left by human beings, where is this place like now, full of ice and cold snow of astonishing thickness, all as far as the eye can see, all white, nothing else, so clean that people feel terrible.

"yes, boss, this is really a hell of a place......"

Wang Rui stood beside Chen Yang, even though his face was blue from the cold, he still managed not to enter the snowmobile.

"This is the last pure land of mankind, but this situation may not last long."

The speed of human development is amazing, except for the North Pole and the South Pole, almost all places in this world have been trodden by human beings, Chen Yang has no doubt that maybe ten or twenty years later, the South Pole will not be able to escape the clutches of human beings.

Wang Rui didn't understand Chen Yang's exclamation, and touched the back of his head blankly, "Boss, let's go into the car, it's windy here." ”

"Hmm."

Although there should be no scientific expedition teams and research stations from other countries in this area, Chen Yang still wants everyone to pay attention, carefully maintain the speed of progress, and at the same time contact the icebreaker once an hour to report safety.

Antarctica, this place, is not only very dangerous for human beings, but it is also not a place that Chen Yang can directly ignore, if he really accidentally falls into some ice cliff, the consequences will ...... I'm afraid that Rao is Chen Yang will have to go through a lot of trouble to escape.

As for the others, needless to say, there is definitely no chance of survival.

Fortunately, I drove carefully all the way, and when it began to get dark at night, there were no accidents, and today's journey was safe.

As soon as it got dark, the convoy naturally couldn't move on, so everyone got out of the car and started to set up a cold-proof tent.

According to today's two-level wind, there was no obstacle to the erection of the tents, and soon the five tents were erected. (To be continued......)
