Luckily, this time what Lorena feared didn't happen, as if the Murder on the Orient Express wouldn't make a sequel. The airship left the fog capital and flew south, in the direction of Tierra del Fuego.

Leaving the foggy capital covered by dark clouds, many people, including Mary, saw the clear blue sky outside for the first time, and naturally they were amazed. It's just that they don't have much time to focus on it, and soon, Mary begins to study hard.

Although Professor Pamar is engaged in academics, he is not the kind of fool who is completely unfamiliar with the world, although he still does not know what the relationship between Duanmu Huai and Mary is, but Professor Pamar knows very well that the reason why his investigation and research can be carried out is because of the funding of Duanmu Huai, and the purpose of Duanmu Huai's funding is for Mary.

In that case, he would not have left Mary aside——— fool would blow his nose and glare at his own master!

The professors and doctors who blow their beards and stare at the rich in movies and television, and look mighty and unyielding, rich and unlewd, are all idiots, what about geniuses? No matter how talented you are, you can't print the funds for experiments, can you? Without money, it's useless for you to have an IQ of 320.

Of course, Professor Parmar is not that kind of idiot, so after getting on the airship, he first restrained his students and asked them to be polite to Mary———Well, this is actually not Professor Parmar's nonsense, geology and archaeology, a profession that runs outside three hundred and sixty-five days a year, are basically men, and there are very few women, like Professor Parmar's research club is now joined by Mary, those men are naturally excited, and they definitely don't dare to mess with Mary.

Then Professor Parmar started a small stove for Mary.

This can't be helped, Professor Pamar's specialty is geoarchaeology, while Mary's archaeology is more inclined to literal analysis and has little understanding of geology. And since she had joined Professor Pamar's research society, the latter, of course, did not want to let her subordinates be stupid, so she also tried her best to teach.

The result surprised Professor Pamar.

Geology in geoarchaeology is just as important as archaeology, and Mary doesn't study geology too deeply, and at first Professor Pamar thinks it might be a bit of a struggle. But what he didn't expect was that Mary seemed to be quite talented in this area, and in many cases, just by looking at a piece of ore or soil traces of a formation, she could almost guess the approximate year of the other party, and it was very different.

This also made Professor Pamar very excited, believing that Mary was very promising in geoarchaeology. After all, knowledge can be accumulated and learned, but talent and feeling are innate.

In fact, many times, this invisible and intangible thing is the symbol that determines whether a person can climb to the top of his career.

For example, if the doctor performs sutures, some doctors will have a feeling that maybe it will be better to tighten some of them. Most doctors just do it step by step, and the patients treated by the doctors who have feelings in the back are much better than the patients treated by ordinary doctors.

Or in terms of scientific research, sometimes faced with several different choices, some people will feel that it will be easier to go this way, so they choose this direction. Others don't feel this way, they can only be blinded casually——— and in the end, there is often the success of the feeling that goes to the end.

Similar things happen in various industries, like a gut feeling, a feeling of instinct. The same plant may be a weed in the eyes of ordinary people, but maybe someone instinctively feels wrong, touching and digging, wow! It's a new species!

Talent, inspiration, instinct, intuition, whatever it is, in short, people who have feelings are more effective when they do research.

Although Professor Pamar himself was not a top scholar, he was also envious of this talent, and now that he found that Mary had this talent, he was naturally very relieved, and began to teach her with all his might.

Of course, if Duanmu Huai knows, he will not be surprised, after all, Mary has a golden pupil that can see through everything in the world, even if you directly put an unfamiliar ancient relic in front of her, even if Mary does not have any basic knowledge, it is estimated that she can guess an approximate time frame because of the golden pupil.........

Of course, if you have knowledge, you will understand it more thoroughly.

Mary is naturally not the kind of proud and complacent eldest lady, and she also knows that it is a rare opportunity for her to be tutored alone by this kind of big professor——— after all, they are currently riding an airship, so Mary will have time to accept the professor's guidance. In the master's college on weekdays, the big guy either concentrates on presiding over scientific research projects, or he is solving problems for his classmates.

So Mary also studied very hard and did not relax at all.

In this way, time passed day by day, and after a planet, the Full Moon Star successfully arrived at Tierra del Fuego, and joined the icebreaker "Orion" waiting there, and finally embarked on the last leg of the journey to Antarctica.

Captain Lake of Orion is quite famous in this line of work, and he can be regarded as a very experienced captain. He had led hundreds of expeditions and expeditions to the South Pole, and was very familiar with the climate and currents here, and after loading the required instruments on Tierra del Fuego, Orion also set off from the harbor and continued towards the South Pole.

And Duanmu Huai also found the captain and started his own work.

"I have to say, you're in luck."

Captain Lake is a very talkative person, even in the face of Duanmu Huai, he is still smiling.

"The recent period of calm is a rare window period, and before you, only one expedition team had this luck."

"You mean, is there anyone who arrived before us?"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows, stared at Captain Lake and asked, who nodded.

"Of course, I remember that they were also from Europa, and they approached me and asked me to prepare to take them to the South Pole at once, but the weather was not very good at that time, and I was not willing to risk my crew, so they hired another ship——— strange to say, they had only been out of port for a short time, and the weather had improved. If I had known that there was such a good thing, maybe I would have made some money. ”

"Do you know which research station they went to?"

The Antarctic of the 20th century is no longer like the 19th century, where anyone can go, and now the Antarctic has been identified as shared by the whole world. Many countries have set up scientific research stations here, and these research stations are usually empty. It will only be activated when the summer comes, and then when the window ends, basically everyone will leave the research station——— after all, staying in this icy and snowy place, without supplies and no communication, is basically the same as being on an alien planet.

Generally speaking, the expedition team will stop at the scientific research station in the country, such as the expedition team funded by Duanmu Huai this time, will stop and stay at the Queen Elizabeth Station before continuing to explore the Antarctic continent in depth.

And what about the expedition?

"Hmm......... I think it was Georg Station in Germania, and oh, I'm going to have to talk to them when I get to the South Pole to make sure they're doing well. After all, this damn weather has a great impact on communications............"

There's no way, Antarctica is like this, just like an alien planet, once something happens to a scientific research station, and even communication can't be transmitted on a snowy day, then no one knows if you really want to die there.

The road to Antarctica is naturally not all smooth sailing, with constant stormy waves and a gradual drop in temperature, of course, for Duanmu Huai, this is not a problem. On the contrary, Lorena has a big problem——— that's right, the little girl is actually seasick!

Duanmu Huai also knew for the first time that Lorena was actually seasick!

But if you think about it, Lorena has followed him to so many places, and she has sat on everything, as if she has never been on a boat?

All in all, the priest girl, who is always a hundred times more energetic on weekdays, is lying in the cabin like a corpse at this moment, with an iron face.

"Uh......... Miss Lorena, are you alright? ”

Looking at the pale face in front of her, her eyes were blank, like a pouting girl, Mary asked uneasily next to her. Lorena turned her head and looked at Mary silently.

"Uh......... I didn't expect it to be so uncomfortable to take a boat............... Obviously, I was fine in the first few days, but why did I suddenly feel like the world was spinning and I was dizzy......... Miss Mary, aren't you uncomfortable? ”

"Uh......... OK? ”

In the face of Lorena's inquiry, Mary was also a little weak-hearted, and she didn't know why, she didn't have any symptoms of seasickness at all.

"Look, it looks like I'm not exercising enough........."

As she spoke, Lorena struggled to get out of bed.

"I'm going to go on the deck for a hundred laps right now and I'm definitely going to improve............... Uh-huh............!! ”

"Miss Lorena, cheer up, ahhhh!!h

As Lorena fainted in the cabin, Orion crossed the last currents and came to Antarctica——— the oldest and least visited place completely covered in snow and ice.

"Boom !!"

The icebreaker crashed into the thick ice, and the violent impact shook the entire hull, breaking through the heavy ice, and the icebreaker moved forward again.

And in the cabin, Captain Lake also sighed and looked at Duanmu Huai.

"Well, sir, so far, it seems that everything is going well."

"Well, that couldn't be better."

Duanmu Huai nodded, then left the cabin, and then he walked to the deck, only to see Professor Pamar standing there, staring at the blue sky and white clouds in front of him.

"It's beautiful..............."

The old professor sighed with emotion, and turned his head to look at Duanmu Huai.

"Hehe, sure enough, the real sky is beautiful, to be honest, after staying in the master's school for a long time, I have to forget what the real sky is......... In fact, many students even saw the blue sky for the first time. ”

"I understand."

Duanmu Huai nodded, of course he also saw the expressions of those students when they left the fog capital before and saw the blue sky, even Mary looked shocked and surprised——— this is also normal, think about it carefully, since they were born, they have been living under the dim sky, unless they go abroad, it is impossible to see what the real sky is like.

Maybe in their eyes, the sky has always been like that.

However, Duanmu Huai came here, not to chat with Professor Pamar.

"Professor, since we have arrived at Antarctica, there are some things that I want to clarify with you first."

Duanmu Huai walked up to Professor Pamar and said lightly.

"What's the matter?"

"I think you may also see that we didn't come to Antarctica to see penguins, let alone geoarchaeology, in fact, we have more important things. The reason why we chose to go with the archaeological team is simply convenient, but next, we will most likely do what we need to do, so if you find that we are missing, please don't worry, just focus on your own business. ”

"This ..............."

Hearing this, Professor Pamar couldn't help frowning, Antarctica is a very dangerous place, and generally speaking, it is not allowed to act alone. Indeed, as Duanmu Huai said, if they leave without saying a word, then maybe Pamar will think that they are missing, and maybe they will come looking for them.

But now what does Duanmu Huai mean by that?

"Do you know why I chose to fund you?"

"This ......... I really don't know. ”

In fact, Professor Pamar himself also has this question, although he is a professor of geology and archaeology at the Royal Academy of Masters, he is not the strongest among them, he is much more powerful and famous than him, not as good as him but there are many more obedient than him, so Pamar is also very curious, why did Duanmu Huai choose himself.

"I read one of your articles——— "Suggestions for Phased Excavation of Geoarchaeological Work......... You don't think that even if you come across a very important ruin, you shouldn't dig it right away, but start with the surrounding area, first understand the basics and then work your way up, right? ”

"That's right."

Professor Pamar nodded, looking at Duanmu Huai suspiciously, it was indeed an article written by himself, but it was just expounding some of his own practices and ideas, why was it favored by this person?

"Then Professor Pamar, I ask you, if there are relics in front of you that are enough to turn the whole world and the entire history of mankind upside down, as long as you dig these relics, you can gain valuable knowledge and experience that ordinary people can never obtain, and it is even possible to leave a name in history, then will you still stick to your own approach? Or will you try your best to get a head start? ”

"This ............... I do not know. ”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's inquiry, Professor Pamar thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile.

"After all, in my life, although I have achieved some results, I have not yet encountered the kind of relics that are enough to subvert human history like Mr. Duanmu, and I dare not guarantee that I will be able to keep a clear head in the face of such temptations, but I think that we should be cautious about the excavation of archaeological research..............."

"Good."

Duanmu Huai nodded, as Professor Pamar said, in fact, in this world, the problems encountered by human beings were not so serious. But many times they end up on the brink of destruction, and the biggest reason is that ——— want to take shortcuts.

As a human being, he suddenly wants to ascend to a higher level of life.

As a human being, I suddenly want to gain the wisdom of the whole universe and then rule the world.

Or maybe an ancient relic was discovered, and after testing, it was found that it could subvert human cognition and history, so it was excavated directly.

It's the same as in a horror movie, where the protagonists go on an adventure, then find that a place is closed, and then happily open the blocked iron door to release the monsters inside.

There is blood and wreckage everywhere, and you are reminded everywhere that "this is dangerous", and you still have to open the door......... Who is to blame?

Of course, it's your own fault.

The same goes for most of the things in this world about evil gods and relics.

Archaeologists dug up the remains of an old ruler, and when they looked, wow, it turns out that there were such powerful advanced intelligent beings in ancient times! We too will follow their path!

Then I went straight to school.

I don't want to think about it, if people are really successful, it will be the turn of human beings to be the masters?

Why did it disappear in the end?

It must have overturned!

In fact, most of the players in the game are very mature, and the reason is simple, after all, in the game, when players encounter the ruins of various civilizations, their first reaction is to think about how this civilization plays with themselves.

It's like when a police officer sees the body of a victim and immediately starts thinking about whether he was shot, poisoned, or killed.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai retracted his thoughts and looked at Professor Pamal.

"All in all, I'm very optimistic about you, come on, and if you're lucky, I'll tell you something interesting when I get back."

"This, Mr. Duanmu, what the hell are you .........?"

Professor Pamar was not a fool either, of course he heard some hidden meanings from Duanmu Huai's words, and he looked at him in disbelief at this moment.

However, before Professor Parmar could finish his sentence, Captain Lake stepped out of the cabin and interrupted their conversation.

"Hey, you two, you'd better come over and have a look!"
