Chapter 38: Reaching the South Pole
No way? You are so good and don't have a girlfriend, I don't believe it, Xiao Chen looked at Shangguan Jian and shook his head.
Really, my background conditions are not very good, and I have always had low self-esteem in my heart, and I spend all my time studying.
I once fell in love with a girl when I was in college, and I finally mustered up the courage to confess to her once, and we had just been in a relationship for less than three months together.
As a result, he was chased away by a rich son, Shangguan Jian said and sighed.
So that's the case, I'm sorry, mentioning your sad past, Xiao Chen lowered his voice.
It doesn't matter, I have long forgotten about this matter, how can a manly man have no wife, Shangguan Jian laughed.
How many years have you been a nurse, Shangguan Jian suddenly changed the subject.
I just graduated from college this year, I have been a military doctor for just two months, I have grown so big, it is the first time I have been to such a far place, Xiao Chen used his hand to comb the long hair that was blown by the sea breeze in front of his forehead.
No wonder Xiao Chen was in a hurry when she faced the storm in the cabin yesterday, it turned out that she had just graduated from college and did not have much work experience.
The two chatted on the deck while looking at the stars in the sky, and did not return to the cabin to rest until midnight.
In the morning, Shangguan Jian was still asleep, when suddenly an alarm woke him up.
Something happened, and he immediately got out of bed.
It seems that there are pirates intercepting it ahead, Chu Huaiyu told him.
How dare pirates rob warships? It's really an old birthday star who eats arsenic and thinks his life is too long.
Shangguan Jian and the guards picked up their guys and ran to the deck, only to see dozens of pirate ships approaching the warship in a dense manner.
Liu Feng, the captain of the guard, is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today and has been in the navy for 14 years.
Dealing with pirates is commonplace, and combat experience is very rich. He has completed many excellent escort missions.
In the face of the pirate ships that surrounded him, Liu Feng was very calm, and he ordered the guards to guard the sides of the deck with the guys.
This area is frequented by pirates, and piracy is rampant.
He ordered the convoy not to shoot lightly unless it was absolutely necessary, lest it attract retaliation from a large number of pirates.
Captain Bai Changxi shouted to the pirates with a loudspeaker; This is the scientific expedition team of the Huaxia Kingdom, and there is nothing valuable on the warship.
The purpose of our country is to pursue peace, please leave on your own or face the consequences.
shit, we are here to rob, but they are shouting for peace and telling us to leave, what about this group of Chinese people talking in their dreams during the day?
A bandit leader with a scarred face and a shirtless body grinned at the warship.
No, captain, I'm afraid this group of people will eat hard rather than soft, reward them a few shuttles first, and then Shangguan Jian will start when he picks up the troll.
Wait a minute, Liu Feng called Shangguan Jian to put the guy down, because he was still not sure how many pirates were nearby to answer.
Liu Feng saw in the telescope that there were still many pirate ships parked ten kilometers away from the warship, roughly estimated to be as many as 500 people, and there were also many heavy weapons on board.
Such a distance is also a matter of one foot on the accelerator, Liu Feng is a very calm person.
He knew that this mission was to help the expedition team get back the meteorite, and he didn't want to get too entangled with pirates.
Liu Feng discussed with Bai Changxi, if the conditions offered by the other party were not too excessive.
We agreed to the request of these pirates first, and it was important to rush to Antarctica to transport meteorites first, because after a long time, there might be some kind of chaos.
Shangguan Jian, as the deputy captain, heard that Liu Feng wanted to compromise with the pirates, and he was a little reluctant in his heart, how could my dignified Chinese soldiers give in to a group of pirates who robbed their homes and houses, and it would not become an international joke if it was spread.
But Liu Feng's words seem to be reasonable, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, personal honor and shame are small things, and it is worth the loss if you can't bring the meteorite back to China.
Shangguan Jian slammed his fist on the mast, drooping his head and not speaking again.
Captain Bai Changxi stood on the deck and shouted at the pirates with a bullhorn; Dear friends, we really don't have any valuables on board.
If you are willing, we are willing to give 100,000 yuan to your friends to do hardship, okay?
What is his grandmother's, what is he talking about! Many of the escorts couldn't help but curse that our dignified Huaxia warships had to pay tolls to pirates when sailing on the high seas.
Everyone picked up the trolls and was about to do it, but fortunately, Liu Feng persuaded everyone in time to prevent them from going off.
fuck! 100,000 yuan, really when we are asking for food? The scar-faced pirate leader yelled at the warship.
A deputy beside him tugged at the corner of his coat and whispered; Boss, in my experience, I don't think there's much oil or water on this warship.
You see that there are so many soldiers standing on the deck with a guy, I am afraid it will not be so easy to gnaw this hard bone, and there will be a lot of brothers to lose at that time.
Don't steal the property on the warship and the money is not enough for the settling-in expenses, it is better to agree to their conditions, accept 100,000 yuan, and it is more cost-effective for the brothers to buy wine and drink.
Damn, it's cheap for these yellow-skinned brutes, and the scar-faced pirate leader throws the guy in his hand on the ship.
He raised his horn to respond to Bai Changxi; Said that he was willing to accept your 100,000 yuan for the road.
You hurry up and get the money ready, I'll send someone to get it right away, I'm going to move a minute late.
Seeing that the pirate agreed to the conditions he offered, Liu Feng immediately asked people to take out 100,000 yuan of the funds for this operation and put them in a wooden box.
After a while, two pirates in capes climbed onto the deck shirtless, one in charge of counting the money, and the other in charge of holding the guy to the people on deck.
Afraid that if you are not careful, you will be caught by the other party as a hostage, and after counting the number accurately.
The two pirates triumphantly jumped off the warship in full view of everyone, watching the pirate ships around the warship fly away.
It was so that many people stood on the deck and stomped their feet in anger.
After the pirates left, the warship continued to sail in the direction of the South Pole, and at each port it passed, the logistics staff were responsible for going ashore to buy daily necessities.
Because he had just been extorted a sum of money by pirates, the funds seemed to be a little tight, and the living expenses on the warship were much less.
Fortunately, everyone's hearts are on fire, they have little appetite for eating, and less money doesn't have much impact.
The warship is getting closer and closer to the South Pole, and it can feel the slightest chill in the scorching heat of summer. Quite a few people on the warship began to wear thick clothes.
As usual, Shangguan Jian sat on the deck and looked at the sky in a daze after dinner, what are you still sitting on the deck at night when it's so cold?
Xiao Chen didn't know when he came behind him, it was too stuffy inside, so I came out to breathe.
Shangguan Jian turned his head and nodded at Xiao Chen, because of the last pirate incident, Liu Feng began to strengthen the security on the warship.
The guards had to step up patrols at their posts, and Shangguan Jian hadn't seen Xiao Chen for several days.
This is to supplement your nutrition, saying that Xiao Chen took out a chicken leg and two eggs from his body as if he was playing a trick and handed them to Shangguan Jian.
Now the budget is tight, and everyone on the warship is rationed with nutrition.
Where did you get the chicken legs and eggs, Shangguan Jian waved his hand and refused to accept the chicken legs and eggs given by Xiao Chen.
What are you still polite to me? This is the normal nourishment that was given to me, and it wasn't stolen by me.
I don't have much work to do, so I can't eat so much, so I'll leave it for you to eat, and I know that you consume a lot of calories every day as a guard.
Saying that, Xiao Chen still stuffed the chicken legs and eggs into Shangguan Jian's hands, and it was the most difficult to accept the grace of the beauty, so Shangguan Jian had no choice but to accept it.
After seeing that Shangguan Jian was willing to accept her nutritional products, Xiao Chen's face was full of smiles like a blooming lotus, so sunny and gorgeous.
Then I'll go back to the cabin to get busy, she waved her hand towards Shangguan Jian and returned to the cabin.
The speed of the warship was very fast, and it took ten days to arrive, but it turned out to be nine days.
Because the sea surface in a radius of several hundred miles of Antarctica froze all year round, the warship could not continue to move forward, and stopped at the port of Falklands, 300 miles from the border of Antarctica.
The logistics staff and medical personnel on the warship, the sailors remained on the warship.
Captain Liu Feng also selected 20 escort members to stay on the warship to wait for the warship, and the remaining 80 escorted the scientific expedition team to Antarctica to collect meteorites.
As soon as the order was issued, each man took a sleigh and other urgently needed equipment, prepared his weapons, and carried ten days' dry rations, and slid all the way in the direction of the South Pole.
With the destruction of resources and serious environmental pollution, the world pays more and more attention to environmental problems, and the United Nations unanimously decided to designate Antarctica as a common environmental resource protection area for mankind.
Tens of thousands of kilometers of borders around the Antarctic are fenced by barbed wire, and all countries have sent a certain number of troops to guard the Antarctic area, and those who enter the Antarctic area without permission will be convicted of environmental damage and sent to the international court for trial.
After three days of gliding in the snow, everyone finally came to the north gate of Antarctica, which is 3,000 miles around, and ten countries including the West are responsible for sending troops to wait.
In front of the North Gate of Antarctica, Huang Chuan took out the South Pole Pass and handed it to the guards waiting for the North Gate of Antarctica.
After careful verification by the headquarters, the scientific expedition team was allowed to enter the north gate.
The Antarctic Circle is full of glaciers and snow several meters or even hundreds of meters thick, and the white light reflected by the sun's rays on the snow makes it impossible to open your eyes.
In recent years, the greenhouse effect has been severe, and glaciers in many places in the Antarctic Circle have begun to melt. The whole person is likely to fall into it and never be rescued again, and will be buried here for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, before the departure, the scientific expedition team was also prepared, and took ten husky sled dogs to explore the road in front.
When sliding on the snow, use a rope to connect ten sled dogs together, if one of the sled dogs accidentally falls into the snow hole.
The other dogs will work together to pull it up, and the sled dog will be very excited to see the overwhelming snow, and will run all the way through the snow.
The members of the expedition and the guards followed closely behind on their snowboards.
