The next evening, after a long-distance flight of more than 20 hours, Song Wenbin arrived in Oslo, the capital of Norway. Coming to this Nordic city that is fantasized and longed for by thousands of Seoul people, before leaving the plane, Song Wenbin also had a lot of imagination about this place, after all, this is the place he used to brag to the people of Seoul.

But when the plane was about to land, his fantasy was replaced by a sense of reality, and when the sky looked down, there were low houses everywhere, and the streets did not seem to be wide, and when viewed from above, it seemed to be no different from Seoul.

After leaving the plane, the sense of reality became more and more intense, under the gloomy sky, the air was a little humid and cold, it was obviously a summer day in July and August, but it was as cold as the spring cold in China.

Although Song Wenbin has put on a winter jacket, he can't help but shrink for a while at this moment.

To be honest, the climate here is not the type that Song Wenbin likes. If he had a choice, he had traveled to so many countries, and Panama's tropical climate was his favorite.

"No, someone is waiting for us."

Song Wenbin was looking at this legendary paradise.

Suddenly, Wei Ning, the photographer who was traveling with him, pushed him and said to Nunu in front of him.

Song Wenbin looked over and was a little surprised, the handsome man in white he had seen in the seal company earlier was already waiting for him at the airport in Oslo at this moment.

"Hello." Song Wenbin, as the leader of this group, went up to say hello to the man.

The man in white nodded to him and said, "Time is precious, I have prepared transportation for you, come with me." ”

Without much pleasantries, the man led the crew to a small plane at the airport, which was an old-fashioned, propeller-like plane that could seat five or six people.

"We'll help you bring the plan you've prepared."

The man in white said loudly to the sound of the propeller turning: "You go to the Yellow River Station first, someone will dock with you there." ”

"Understood." Song Wenbin said.

Before he could take a second look at the city, Song Wenbin was stuffed into a small plane. Hurriedly took off all the way and flew further north.

It didn't take long for them to fly to the turquoise sea, here is the Barents Sea, one of the continental marginal seas of the Arctic Ocean.

After another two-hour flight, Song Wenbin and his crew came to the land deep in the Arctic Circle. New Ålsund in the Spitsbergen archipelago.

Here, Song Wenbin can see pure blue and white, with the blue sea on one side and the vast white wilderness on the other, with only a few houses and lonely cedars in the wilderness, it is hard to imagine that he is now at a higher latitude than he was in Siberia, and the place he is about to go is 90 degrees north latitude, the North Pole, one of the three poles of the earth.

As the small plane slowly descended from the gray concrete runway, Song Wenbin could see dots of white snow on the side of the road, which was much less than what Song Wenbin had seen in Siberia, but it was enough to annoy him.

Sure enough, when Song Wenbin left the small plane, he couldn't help but shiver and curled up. After coming here, the temperature was even lower, it had dropped from above zero to below zero, and the snow on the soles of my feet could creak when I stepped on it.

Next to the plane, an uncle in a down jacket was waving at Song Wenbin and the film crew.

Song Wenbin came to him with his arms in his arms, this was a black fat man with glasses, he greeted him and said: "Hello, tired teacher, I am the logistics director of the Yellow River Station, my name is Chen Cheng, and I am a loyal viewer of your show." ”

Song Wenbin hurriedly shook hands with him and said again and again: "Hello, hello." ”

"When I watched the first season, I thought it would be possible for you to come to the North Pole, but I didn't expect you to actually come here in the second season." As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Can you take a group photo?" ”

Song Wenbin stood beside Chen Cheng and took a photo with him.

After taking the photo, Song Wenbin couldn't help but ask, "Is it so cold here all the time?" I remember that it was said on the news that the temperature in the Arctic was in the twenties. ”

"Harm, that's accidental, it can't be like that every day."

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "It's still 20 degrees every day, and the North Pole won't be finished soon." ”

"That's ......"

"It's been a warm year, if you had come here twenty years ago, the whole area would have been white, and where there would be ground for you to see, it was all about global warming over the years, and the Arctic was the first to be affected."

Unlike many mainstream values, Song Wenbin feels that he was born at the right time, praising global warming, he doesn't care at all about what polar bears wail and what rainforest fires are carbon neutral, energy-saving and emission reduction electric vehicles, if you can, please warm up faster, and it is better to make winter disappear forever, this is the true thought in his heart.

Of course, he doesn't say it in public.

"Oh, that's too bad."

Song Wenbin said regretfully.

"That's when there's no way, and all we can do is record." Chen Cheng said calmly: "Let's go, I'll take you to visit the place where you live." ”

After following Chen Cheng for a short time, Song Wenbin came to a vermilion house not far from the airport runway, which was about four or five stories high and covered a large area, which looked very conspicuous in this gray wasteland.

While walking, Chen Cheng also introduced to Song Wenbin, "This building was originally the dormitory building of Norway's Wangwan Company, China rented this building from Wangwan Company, our scientific expedition team has been stationed here for many years, the equipment is very complete, restaurants, libraries, dormitories and everything, there is an optical observation platform on the roof, it is the largest space physics observation point in the world's polar scientific expeditions, you want to see it, I will take you to see." ”

】

"It's amazing." Song Wenbin exclaimed: "However, have you seen two of my colleagues here?" ”

"Do you mean Sutina and Huo Yu, they haven't come here yet, but I heard that they're already on their way, and they may be there tomorrow."

"Tomorrow ......"

Song Wenbin glanced at his watch, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening.

The sky was still bright and blue, and the sun showed no signs of setting.

Chen Cheng said with a smile: "It's dark at twelve o'clock this night, and it's dawn at five o'clock in the morning, if you go further north, it won't be dark." ”

Song Wenbin felt speechless, although he knew that there was such a thing as a polar day, but his personal experience was still a great test of the biological clock.

"Are you all right? Sleep or something? ”

"It's okay, it's okay to get used to it." Chen Cheng asked: I heard that you are going to the pole this time?

"Yes."

"Then you have to get used to it." He smiled: "You have to train for at least a month to go to the pole, otherwise you won't be allowed to go on the road." ”

"Training for so long?" Song Wenbin was surprised.

"Of course, do you think the pole is so easy to go, of course if you take an icebreaker, I didn't say, if you go over the ice, good guy, because of global warming, I haven't seen a few warriors dare to do this all these years. There are even more people in history who have never returned, and I am tired of teachers, I admire you in this regard, you have filled our spiritual void with your life and courage. Chen Cheng said with admiration.

Song Wenbin smiled with difficulty and modesty: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just work, it's all the same." ”

Fuck it!

Huo Yu!

Sutina!

Be sure to bring me the icebreaker!

Please!

Song Wenbin roared madly in his heart.

Chen Cheng took Song Wenbin to a dormitory on the second floor of the red house, which was very ordinary, with only a wooden bed, a table, and a cabinet, and an old wall calendar on the wall, with Tiananmen Square on it, presumably left by a member of the previous scientific expedition team.

After settling his luggage briefly, Chen Cheng took Song Wenbin to the restaurant and prepared a dinner for him.

Dinner was quite exotic, with some fresh fish and shrimp, a few marinated herring, and even a potato stew with venison. Song Wenbin has never eaten venison when he is so old, but if Chen Cheng doesn't say it, he may think that it is beef sausage.

As he ate, he could see a heavy truck coming from the open space outside the glass, and several masters were unloading the trucks from the truck, which was the vehicle he had chosen for Sutina.

Looking at that thing, Song Wenbin couldn't help but laugh, he really wanted to see Sutina's expression after seeing this thing.

……

The next morning, Song Wenbin, huddled in a futon and sleeping bag, was awakened by a commotion outside the house. With extreme reluctance, he poked his head out of his sleeping bag and wiped the glass that had been frozen with thick hoarfrost, and sure enough, he saw Sutina's cheerful figure in the open space outside, she was pulling Huo Yu, accompanied by the photographer, excitedly pointing to the red house, chattering non-stop.

Unlike the late night when Song Wenbin arrived, they came at the same time as daytime, and many staff members of the scientific research station came out to watch them, and even the staff of the scientific research station of other countries next door also heard the news and surrounded Su Tina and Huo Yu to take pictures non-stop.

Song Wenbin didn't care about the arrival of the two of them at all, he stared, looking at the sea in the distance, hoping to see the shadow of the steamer, and sure enough, he saw one for him, and suddenly, he didn't care about the cold, hurriedly washed up, and then went downstairs with his pants and clothes.

Outside the house, the people from the program team were filming, and when they saw him coming, they immediately pointed the camera at him. Song Wenbin hurriedly said, "Huo Yu, Sutina, have you brought the icebreaker?" ”

Huo Yu smiled, stood up, and said, "That's necessary, say a good gentleman's agreement, you first let you see what you have chosen for us." ”

Song Wenbin was overjoyed, coughed twice, and said, "It's really great, but don't worry, the vehicle I chose will definitely not disappoint you." ”

"Really? What did you choose? Huo Yu didn't believe it.

With a smug smile on his face, Song Wenbin walked to the huge object covered by the rain cloth, patted it, and said, "How is it, this big guy, is it sincere enough?" ”

"So big!"

Sutina poked her head over curiously, and couldn't wait to say, "What? ”

"This is what I carefully selected for you."

Song Wenbin said mysteriously.

"Really!? Did you draw me!? Sutina was pleasantly surprised: "Hurry up and let me see." ”

Song Wenbin grinned and tore off the huge rain cloth with great force.

Suddenly, a huge red machine appeared in front of the two of them.

Su tina looked at the machine, her face gradually changed from excitement to a little sluggish, Huo Yu was stunned, and then the corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn't help laughing, even the photographers and people at the scientific research station on the side were shocked.

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

Sutina muttered, "Drag... Tractor...? ”

"Yes, exactly!"

Song Wenbin laughed and said: "Dongfanghong LZ2604 tractor, 260 horsepower, four-wheel drive, equipped with an in-line six-cylinder electronically controlled engine, and a luxurious and comfortable semi-suspended cab. How's that, isn't it great? ”
