Chapter 672: Glory and Dreams

The Sled Three Fools are three types of tool dogs that are quite good in extreme cold regions.

This is mainly due to the extremely harsh natural environment of the area, which is not suitable for other animals that can serve as labor, and is not suitable for wheeled vehicles.

Using sled dogs as a means of transportation can be said to be both adapted to local conditions and no way out.

Dog breeds mainly include Siberian dogs (huskies), Alaskan dogs, Greenlanders, Samoyeds, Norwegian deer hounds, etc.

These sled dogs all have one thing in common – they have a double coat, which allows them to maintain their body temperature in cold and snowy weather.

However, Bi Fang also likes exploitation, and he generously brought out his food reserves - a few frozen fish and two fat puffins.

Almost as soon as Bi Fang opened the zipper, the three fools smelled blood, jumped up and down excitedly, and all pounced on Bi Fang, almost knocking him down.

Bi Fang, who was too excited, couldn't make cooked food, so he could only eat raw food for the three fools.

As soon as he threw it down, the three fools jumped in the air, and they took all the fish in their mouths and feasted on it, which showed how long they had been hungry.

I collected some hay nearby for firewood, and Bi Fang kept half a puffin, which was stewed for today's breakfast.

Well, it's not dawn yet, but it's breakfast.

After eating, Bi Fang packed up his things, checked the belt buckle of the three fools, and determined the fact that although it was a little worn, it could still be used, and then fixed the three together with a rope.

After that, the supplies were tied to the three dogs, the backpack was given to the hyperactive husky, the short spear was given to Alaska, the rest of the sundries and sleds were given to Samoyed, and Bi Fang only left a spear and dagger on his body for emergency.

The well-fed and well-fed three fools have no patience for doing some work at all, they are working dogs who love to work, they have no heart and lungs, and they look like they regard Bi Fang as their new master.

Unloaded the burden, Bi Fang felt a lot more relaxed, holding the reins in one hand and taking the three fools on the road.

Bi Fang originally thought that he would directly use the three fools to pull a sled, but after thinking about it, he was now hunting, if he used a dog sled, the speed was too fast, but it was easy to miss too much prey information, so he simply chose to walk away.

As soon as they entered the state, the three fools were quite well-behaved, restrained their temperament, and did not run around with joy, so Bi Fang really might not be able to hold them alone.

On the snow, Bi Fang was in a good mood, after all, he had gained three free tool dogs.

It's just that the amount of food is a little bigger, but as long as you can catch a musk ox, everything is not a problem.

"Do you remember what I told at the beginning, the story of the two adventurers who met to conquer the South Pole first?"

[Oh, I remember, Amundsen and Scott!] 】

[Who Wins the Comer]

[I know, it's Scott!] 】

【....... You are lonely, obviously Amundsen, Scott has frozen into old popsicles, and is still buried in Antarctica]

"That's right, it's Amundsen, and a large part of the reason for the difference between the two is actually caused by these guys behind us."

The audience squinted at the three fools in front of Bi Fang, and was a little incredulous, just these three guys, what's the use?

The drone flew to the side of the dog, the dogan had never seen this thing, and he was a little surprised for a while, and a pair of light blue eyes stared at it with a bright eye.

Forehead......

Quite spirited.

The pot that got up early in the morning to watch the live broadcast twitched the corners of his mouth.

"At that time, Scott and Amundsen chose two very different working animals, the former using a pony and the latter a husky and a type of sled dog."

"Compared to the sled dogs, the ponies are defeated in all directions at the limit. The pony consumes forage and its hardiness has not been proven in the polar environment, and in the later stages, Scott's team has to rely on manpower, which undoubtedly sets the stage for tragedy in the harsh natural environment. ”

"The subsequent snowstorm and kerosene leak only added to the problem, and in addition, the frostbite of the people in Scott's team was very bad, because they did not use a lot of traditional fur to keep warm, and the preparation for keeping warm was not enough."

"In addition, after Scott could not become the first person to climb the South Pole, the psychological blow on the way back coupled with injuries, the will to survive also decreased, even if they can come back alive, most of them will be disabled for life, and polar expeditions are so cruel."

"But compared to Amundsen, the number of huskies he carries is far greater than the number he actually needs, and many huskies will be constantly replaced, saving the strength of the canine group, and dogs that cannot keep up with their physical strength will be killed and used as food for people and other dogs."

[Ah this, when food? 】

[Cannibalism doesn't get the virus?。。。 】

[It's too hard]

[Tool dogs... That's all it can be]

[Just because I chose the wrong tool animal, the final result was very different. 】

"Yes."

Bi Fang gave an affirmative answer.

It's really a place that no one expected, and it has already decided the success or failure of the two.

Pony, or Huskies?

For explorers, on the endless Antarctic continent, food, temperature, supplies, these elements of survival are all maintained by one thing - the choice of transportation.

In the case that the rest of the conditions are not much different from the competition, it was supposed to be a close competition, but fate played a merciless joke on Scott.

Eight years ago, Scott actually traveled to Antarctica, also using a husky sled to explore.

But in his opinion, on the Antarctic continent, where food is extremely scarce, the high amount of food corresponding to the high exercise of the Husky is really unbearable.

So in the choice of transportation, he basically did not choose huskies, but brought a large number of sturdy and thirsty purebred Siberian ponies, 3 oiled crawler tractors, and his superstitious secret weapon: human sleds.

For Amundsen, who is an expert in dog training, his understanding and affection for dogs are unparalleled.

In his past polar exploration, the Husky was almost relied on by him as an existence like attacking and defending the Great Wall. On his expedition to the Antarctic terminus, he brought with him nearly 100 sled-pulling huskies.

As the most important means of transportation for the inhabitants of the polar regions before mechanization, the Huskies were undoubtedly reliable companions in Amundsen's opinion due to their dense coat, amazing hardiness, loyal and strong character, and reliable ability to work. This is true even for relatively robust ponies.

In the same time, Amundsen and Scott set off one after the other.

On the icy Antarctic continent, the two expeditions launched a battle for honor that could only move forward but not retreat.

No one knows what awaits them ahead, and life and death are the norm on the brutal Antarctic continent.

Ice and fire, glory and dreams.

But in the end, Scott lost everything.
