Chapter 19: Entry into the WTO and Birth (3)
Arctic Ocean.
In the middle of the ice and snow, there is a huge iceberg that floats slowly.
As one of the most colossal creatures in the Arctic Sea, the iceberg has a nice name, "Marydo Girl", and it is said that the first person to discover this iceberg was a female explorer at the poles.
When the iceberg was discovered, the explorer ran out of supplies, and experienced a rare and powerful snowstorm, which caused the icebreaker to not be replenished in the first place, and finally became an undead ship adrift in the Arctic Ocean, until the ship was later discovered, and all the crew on board starved to death.
There were obvious signs of a fight on the ship, and it was evident that there was a fight among the crew over food and fresh water, and the female explorer was found in a locked cabin.
Unlike the crew who died and starved in battle, the female explorer walked peacefully, and she recorded videos in her notebook, which included an introduction to the iceberg, which had not yet been discovered, so people named the iceberg after the explorer in her honor, and the iceberg "Marido Girl".
Strange to say, the investigation found that this iceberg is at least a million years old, but every year there are countless polar expeditions, but they did not find this big guy for the first time, which makes people feel absurd and weird when they think about it carefully.
There is also a strange thing, that is, the "Marido Girl" cannot be photographed by satellite, and the "Marido Girl" has a peculiar magnetic field, which disturbs the satellite's detection of this big guy.
In addition, if you look down from a high enough sky, you will see that the shape of the "Marido Girl" is really like a person, and it is a dancing girl.
A series of strange things come together, casting a veil of mystery over the "Marydo Girl", and when it is discovered, it becomes a popular object of bipolar exploration.
It's just that no one can explain these phenomena, let alone discover the secret of the "Marido Girl", and even many famous national expeditions have been shut up in front of the "Marido Girl".
It is precisely because of this that until now, the "Marido Girl" is still the focus of the bipolar expeditions, but compared with previous years, the recent expeditions have become more and more rare.
Because the "Marido Girl" got angry and began to attack the expedition members who boarded her body.
One of the most sensational events was the disappearance of all members of the "Polar Expedition of Yuerfa", which announced at the International Polar Forum a month ago that their next expedition target was none other than the "Marido Girls" in the Arctic Ocean.
At that time, there had already been a number of expeditions that had encountered accidents on the "Mary Doe Girl" iceberg, and none of the expeditions that climbed the iceberg came out, and no news came back.
The "Yuerfa Polar Expedition" has a very high status and reputation in the International Polar Forum, this expedition has a total of eight people, from eight countries, is the expedition before the establishment of the famous explorers, these people gathered together to set up the expedition has a clear goal, to unveil all the mystery of all unknown events in the North and South Poles.
Half a month ago, with the loud support of the forum and the send-off of 12 icebreakers, the icebreaker of the "Royal Polar Expedition" set off and sailed to the "Marido Girl".
However, the farewell before climbing the iceberg became the last message sent by the "Yuerfa Polar Expedition", and for half a month, no news came back from the "Yuerfa Polar Expedition".
This could not help but shake the International Polar Forum, and even attracted attention at the national level, and also made the prestige or murderous name of "Mary Duo Girl" completely spread in the Arctic Ocean, and climbed the list of mysterious islands of the International Polar Forum and sat on the first throne in one fell swoop.
No one would have thought that there would be no accidents on the "Yuerfa Polar Expedition" that had been on the iceberg for half a month without any news, or that there had been no casualties so far.
In the belly of the "Marido Girl", which is the central hinterland of the iceberg, the wind and snow are heavier than anywhere else, and the wind under the blizzard is like a cold bone knife, trapping all eight members of the "Yuerfa Polar Expedition" on a leeward slope.
This trap was seven days, and it was also the seven days they had to trek into the depths of the iceberg.
"As soon as I arrived in this inner circle, I was trapped, which is really unlucky." A member of the German expedition named Calder said through the short-frequency radio waves.
In this place, short-frequency radio waves are the only means of communication they can use, and once they exceed thirty meters, the radio will fail, and even if they are able to do so, they will not want to contact anyone else.
"Calder, this is the eighth sentence you have complained about today, and the third hundred and twenty-one sentence you have complained about in the past seven days." It was Ben Ange, a member of the Canadian expedition, who spoke.
"You two are so boring." French explorer Chuza said.
"You're not bored?" Calder and Ben Ange spoke in unison.
Qiu Za's face was suddenly embarrassed, he was also bored, who was trapped here for seven days, except for drinking and doing nothing, wouldn't be boring?
"In eleven minutes, the blizzard will be small, I'm going to defecate, is there any together?" Calder asked.
Wilfuss, a member of the Australian expedition, raised his hand: "I'll go." ”
Ben Anji also raised his hand: "Count me in." ”
"Very good, the registration is complete, three defecation, three poop bags." Shifting from lying on his stomach to his back, Calder swept away the snow that was about to bury him and his backpack, and began to pick up the poop bag.
"No one would have thought that I would have left five bags of poop on this 'Marydo girl', and five bags of poop were thrown on this beautiful girl, and it was a little exciting and thrilling to think about it." Calder was undoubtedly an optimistic German, even when he was trapped, he did not show the slightest sorrow, but complained a lot.
"You're disgusting." With snow on the helmet's goggles, Chuza swept it away with his suit-clad hand and threw Calder a disdainful look.
Temperature-insulated helmets, temperature-insulating clothing, as well as sapper shovels, signal transmitters, shortwave devices, etc., all polar expedition equipment are the top, only temperature-insulated helmets, each of which is as high as 120,000 US dollars, and it is better to say that eight people are a polar expedition than to say that eight people are tens of millions of dollars for walking.
This is the top group of people in the exploration world, each of them is not bad for money, and they don't care about the cost when they gather together, although they are interested in investing, but most of them are still responsible for their lives, after all, coming back alive is the basis for glory after exploration.
As for where the money for these explorers came from, it is difficult to say clearly, and it cannot be ruled out that there is an organization or some other supply behind it, after all, it is the group organization that is most interested in the mysterious region of the polar region, not the individual.
Ben Anji smiled lewdly and said, "Calder, you should say this, except for the belly of the vest line, you have traveled all over the girl's body, including the trembling mountains and the dense forests. ”
"Hahaha, that's right." Calder laughed, just after laughing, his face turned cold, "But Ben Anji, you'd better shut up Lao Tzu, listening to you say this, Lao Tzu only feels uncomfortable, this shitty place, where to find a woman?" ”
"Isn't that what you do? You can solve your physical needs with 'Marydo Girl', hahaha......" Ben Angie laughed even more lewdly.
Jeff, the captain from Italy, finally spoke, and said lightly: "It's time, hurry up and solve it, this time it's solved, and you won't be allowed to go again for three days." ”
"Understand, poop bags are also a resource, otherwise the butt will be frostbitten, and it will be a bad fart. I can't keep my eyes. Calder led the way away with three poop bags.
Ben Angie and Wilfuers followed.
"Don't be more than thirty meters away!" Jeff reminded.
"Captain!" Wilfus responded.
The three of them did not go far, and they did not dare to go far in this bad weather.
Risking his life to climb up, Jeff looked up at the blizzard that was not clear, the snow was as thick as a city wall, and it was hard to imagine that it would not be long before the snow would rush over the leeward slope and bury them.
"Chuza, how many more days can we last?" Jeff asked, looking back.
Chuza, who was familiar with the use of any kind of material, replied directly: "It will not be more than ten days at most, food and fresh water can last for twelve days, the shortwave is enough for nineteen days, and the oxygen reserve is only ten days." ”
"I can't imagine that it's not food that kills us, it's oxygen." Another Australian player in the team, Fieldwin, said.
After a little thought, Jeff asked the Chinese on the far left of the line, who was lying on his stomach and rarely spoke: "Li Qiuping, what do you think?" ”
This question, the eyes of others were also focused on the Chinese, who was the only Chinese in the team and the only yellow race.
If it is said that apart from the captain Jeff, who has the most say in the expedition team, no one can say well, but if you want to ask who has the sharpest intuition about danger, then even Jeff has to admit that the candidate is none other than Li Qiuping.
Li Qiuping was the last to join the "Yuerfa Polar Expedition", when the eight-member expedition team lacked the last person, and the only one who met the criteria was this Chinese who had mediocre expedition results but was not easy to be despised.
Different from the other seven people with brilliant exploration achievements, Li Qiuping can be said to have found no particularly eye-catching exploration achievements, and many achievements are just as simple as following the expedition team to get a piece of the pie.
But it is such an ordinary "konjac", but he can become a well-known figure in the expert exploration world, and even become the belief of some explorers, and even Jeff and others have to pay attention, which shows Li Qiuping's strength.
Li Qiuping's strength does not lie in exploration, or the most important ability is not in exploration, but in life-saving, yes, life-saving.
Li Qiuping participated in not many expeditions, but there were also a few, including more than a dozen very famous expedition sites, famous nature means mystery, and mysterious nature also means danger.
Those places are hells of nine deaths and deaths, and there will hardly be an expedition team that can enter and exit completely, and it is fortunate that the whole army is not annihilated, and Li Qiuping's fame is a phenomenon that breaks this similar rule.
At the beginning, Li Qiuping was mediocre, until one day, someone posted an article on major expedition websites, which was an analysis of Li Qiuping, the article was simple and easy to understand, it was nothing more than saying when Li Qiuping followed what expedition team to explore and where, which is a normal record for normal people.
But the adventure site is full of people walking on the edge of hell, which one is not a human spirit and a ghost? It only takes a few glances to see what the article is all about.
Li Qiuping participated in a lot of expeditions, large and small, and the expedition sites in the article were marked in red, which was very significant, and without exception, there were no fatalities.
Whether it is an ordinary exploration site without danger or a devil's area where there is no danger, not a single person died in the nearly 100 expeditions that Li Qiuping participated in.
Especially those red devil expeditions, many of them are terrible areas that have been called the territory of the god of death, and many expeditions with great fame have died in them, but the expedition team with Li Qiuping can enter and exit safely.
For example, the Rhône Valley, known as the valley of death in the Andes, has no less than 30 explorers buried in it, and once the incident came out, it caused a lot of sensation in the world, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru and other countries, the local government has launched a carpet search of the Andes Mountains, but the result is that even the Rhône Valley has not been found, and none of the survivors who have come out of the Rhône Valley can say where the Rhône Valley is.
Li Qiuping was one of the survivors of the expedition to the Rhône Valley, and the "Wenerxin Expedition" he was part of at the time was also the only expedition that entered and exited the Rhône Valley without any fatalities.
It was also at the end of that expedition that the article about Li Qiuping's sensational major expedition websites came out.
Not to mention whether there are expedition achievements or not, just because he can enter and exit the expedition site safely, Li Qiuping is already destined to have a place in the exploration community and the International Polar Forum.
Mascot? Probably it really exists, and it is no wonder that Li Qiuping has become the god of faith of some explorers.
With Li Qiuping's blessing, it may be safer to explore more or less, which may be the most sincere idea of those who believe in Li Qiuping.
