269. Starry sky

The first dinner on the Antarctic continent was hearty.

At this time, Uncle Li, the old crew member, also opened the backpack that he had been mysteriously guarding, and poured out a bunch of vacuum-packed food from it.

The sharp-eyed on-site staff immediately widened.

"My dear mother! It's all meat! ”

Those of them who have been stationed at the base at the "end of the world" for a long time are most worried about the taste of distant home.

On weekdays, there are also various kinds of canned meat products for tooth sacrifices, but there are only a few things that go over and over.

It can't compare to the "thick oil red sauce" in front of you, which is mouth-watering and delicious!

"Lao Li, that's interesting!"

One of them slapped Uncle Li with his fist with red eyes.

The players looked at each other, and finally one of them couldn't help but pull out the first hot food and put it on the table to share.

Then, in the blink of an eye, under the noses of the stationed staff and the old crew, a table of "Manchu and Han full seats" was gorgeously born.

There are even a few male players who are good wines and tentatively took out a few bottles of good wine that have been treasured for a long time, intending to share them with everyone.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Luo, Caiqi is alive, let's sit down and go?" Lao Tian lived up to expectations and shouted at the top of his voice, waking up a few people who were stunned.

Being watched expectantly by everyone's eager eyes, Uncle Li and the others choked up a little in their throats for some reason, and their eyes quietly turned red.

"Come on, it's fate to meet, sit down, it's rare for everyone to get together, and everyone is happy to let go and have a good meal."

Uncle Li reacted and pulled the brothers and old friends next to him to sit down.

For a while, the wind and clouds were staggered, and a room of people spent a sumptuous dinner comparable to a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

……

After eating, some of the drunk people were helped to rest, and the rest of the people went out in groups to eat, watch the night view, and watch the starry sky.

The deep blue sky is dotted with stars as bright as broken diamonds.

Song Yuanze and Tang Qinqin leaned on each other and stood on the snow.

"Aze, you say, the star we see now, is it so beautiful? Will we one day be able to see them up close and personal? ”

Tang Qinqin raised his arm and pointed to the brightest star above his head.

The stars we often talk about are mainly divided into two categories, stellar and planetary.

Stars themselves can emit light due to nuclear fission reactions, such as the Sun.

Planets do not emit light, but they can reflect the light of stars, such as the moon.

Depending on how far they are from us, the magnitude of their luminous power and the degree of brightness and darkness they appear in front of our eyes are also different.

"Hopefully, one day, we will go into space and explore the solar system, and even the Milky Way, and the cosmic world beyond. When the time comes, we will be able to see with our own eyes what these celestial bodies look like. ”

"Our country's lunar exploration program has been steady and steady, and it has achieved good results so far. We are not far from the time when we are officially in space. ”

Song Yuanze looked up at the starry sky with a focused expression and said.

"Then let's not forget to take a good look at the planet we live in, it has done so much for us humans, and we owe it to it."

Tang Qinqin suddenly felt a little sad.

Song Yuanze silently hugged her into his arms, and gently rested his chin on the top of the girl's head.

"It's going to be okay, our existence is always going to be meaningful."

……

The next day, players woke up until they woke up naturally.

After a brief wash and a little food, everyone started their journey to explore the Antarctic continent with ski equipment.

Blowing the wind and enjoying the ice and snow wonders all the way, the first stop for everyone to visit is the indigenous penguin.

The emperor penguin is arguably the representative species of Antarctica, and it is the largest of the penguin family.

The topics about them are generally positive images such as gentlemanly, cute, tall and handsome.

The Adélie penguin, which is also a native penguin, bears the title of "rogue" penguin.

They like to collect stones, and in order to get them, they will steal and even fight for them.

In their conception, having more stones means having a higher social status.

It is said that Adélie penguins are also quite scheming, knowing how to "seek advantage and avoid harm", in order to detect whether there is danger in the ocean before going to the sea to feed, they will kick their teammates into the water, and once they find danger, they will immediately retreat.

"In fact, penguins are not only inhabited in Antarctica, but also in other parts of the world. For example, on the west coast of Africa, there is a species of spot-billed ringed penguin, which is 'ugly' in appearance, petite in size, gentle in personality, and also called male donkey penguins because of its similar call to that of a donkey. ”

"Another example is the little blue penguin, the smallest in the penguin family, because it is too petite to store fat, so it can only live in areas with mild climates, mainly distributed on the coasts of Australia and South America."

Because of the anxiety of the players who have just arrived to explore on their own, a staff member who has been in Antarctica for nearly ten years acts as a "guide" to take everyone to appreciate the beauty of the ice and snow, and introduce the species that live here by the way.

If he hadn't made a popular science introduction, in fact, in most people's preconceived thinking, they think that penguins only live in Antarctica.

Of course, those who are kept in captivity in zoos by humans do not count.

"I'll talk about it first, it's okay to take you to see the penguins, but keep your distance and don't interfere too much in their lives. Due to problems such as human plundering of penguin eggs and environmental degradation, many penguin species have entered the endangered ranks, and we can remain curious about them, appreciate and observe them, but the premise must be to protect them and try not to disrupt their normal life. ”

He "banged" the crowd with a serious face.

The players nodded yes obediently.

However, the big fat goose in Lao Tian's arms purred around a few times, revealing a little cunning.

It is said that "penguins" always wear black and white classic color suits, and their images are cute and cute, and they are very popular.

It is not convinced, and the feathers that are obviously white and flawless are more decent, and they are the peak configuration of "goose life".

In its head at the moment, the penguin is in the shape of a fat ball full of fat and staggering, and it is said that their "wings" are still vestigial and cannot fly.

Thinking of this, it shook its big snow-white wings proudly.

Lao Tian was listening to popular science at this time, and he didn't notice that his pet couldn't wait to compete with the local indigenous "goose".

At this time, a loud bang suddenly sounded, startling everyone to look around curiously and panickedly.

"It's the sound of a glacier collapsing in the distance."

The on-site staff was surprised and explained to everyone.

In recent years, with the global warming effect, the melting rate of glaciers has accelerated, and glacier collapse has become more and more frequent.

Not only the Antarctic, but also the Arctic, which is also a world of ice and snow, has been mentioned in the news more than once, and polar bears continue to lose their habitat and ice floes to breathe, and can only swim in the sea to survive.
