329 Arctic Expedition Sites
The issuance of orders one after another made the temporary base quickly busy, cooking for cooking, and stir-frying.
Those who don't know how to cook can't sit idle at all, so they have to check whether the tent is secure on the one hand, and add fuel to the generator on the other.
The entire temporary base is now in full swing, although there is some chaos, but everything is still within a stable order.
Ba Xiangshan touched the sweat on his head, leaned his body on the snowmobile and rested for a while.
Now this kind of scene can only be said to be trivial, and the real trouble is still to come.
At present, it is only the vanguard that has come here, which is used to set up temporary bases and build a stable operation model.
Tomorrow will be the start of the rest of the large force to reach the North Pole, with more than 2,000 people from all over the world, a mix of volunteers and conservation groups.
If there is any emergency, even human life may occur!
With Gui Miao's one-handed hexagram technique, the luck on the transport ship is still good, and the ones found in a whole day's voyage are basically medium-sized populations.
Most of them are fifty adults, and there are quite a few pups.
By the time it got dark, the transport ship was already stuffed with walruses, and the nets had to work hard more than a dozen times to barely supply the big guys' needs.
The sailors were tired all day, and the chef did not treat these people badly, moved the table of the restaurant to the deck, and ate the famous Northeast dish in the sea breeze: iron pot stew!
There's nothing happier than eating an iron pot stew after a tiring day.
Although the goose is quick-frozen, the chef's craftsmanship is also online, and the taste itself as a famous dish in the Northeast is enough to conquer most people.
In the light of the setting sun, the walruses that were not yet adults struggled to move their bodies on the deck, and Wen Wanwan gathered several around him, trying to bite the squid that had just been fed.
As amphibious animals, they will certainly not be able to be kept in a pool without protection.
But fortunately, with the abilities of Su Xiu and Shen Nan, most of the adult walruses are resting on the first or second floor at this time.
Only this group of walruses, who had not yet grown up, could not resist their curiosity and scurried around the ship.
However, there are also benefits to running around, and most people will feed them some seafood when they see these little guys.
It's like luck bumping into the chef, and you can taste the taste of sea urchin.
The aroma of goose stewed in an iron pot filled the air, and the captain rarely gave the sailors a bottle of beer.
He also knew the amount of alcohol of the group of people on the boat, and he was not allowed to drink it on weekdays for fear that there would be problems, so he couldn't react for a while.
But today's mission is basically completed, plus you will be able to go to the Arctic checkpoint in a few hours, and it will not be a problem to have a little drink to liven up the sailors.
"You should be landing after the ship stops tonight, right?"
Hearing the captain's inquiry, Wen Wanwan also nodded: "Well, I will rest at the investigation point tonight, check the information tomorrow, and set off to the temporary base the day after tomorrow." ”
"Do you need our help?"
"It's okay, you guys go directly, the next time we meet, it's probably in Antarctica."
Hearing Wen Wanwan's words, the captain also felt a headache: "Can't we fly over and find another boat?" ”
"It's impossible, it's hard to find such a large transport ship itself, and it's not so easy to renovate."
From the North Pole to the South Pole, it's easy to say, it's just crossing two levels of the Earth.
If you take air freight, it is simple, after several transfers, even if you add the rest time for three days.
But navigating the seas is far from easy, with at least 30 refueling points and 40 refueling points.
It is also necessary to take into account the overhaul of the ship and various unexpected accidents during the voyage.
At present, the only tour company in the world that has the ability to do routes in the polar regions also needs to change three boats before and after, which takes a full 130 days.
But they are not here to play, and if it really takes such a long time to sail, I am afraid that it will not be covered with sewage before they reach the Antarctic region.
In pursuit of speed, it would take nearly 30 days for a transport ship to reach Antarctica.
"Have you ever counted the time it takes for sewage to reach Antarctica?"
Hearing the captain's words, Wen Wanwan also nodded.
"I have calculated, the Arctic will be polluted by sewage first, and it will take about half a month, and the Antarctic region will be much later than the Arctic because of environmental problems."
"At least for now, we have about two months left."
Time must be in a hurry, if there is really an unexpected situation, Wen Wanwan will also apply for another batch of people.
The captain sighed faintly: "Okay, after the supplies are finished tonight, we will leave early in the morning, and strive to reach the South Pole as soon as possible." ”
There was no need for them to act with the captain, or after reaching the North Pole, most of them would be able to rest here for a few days.
After all, the land command has enough capabilities, and the large number of people can fully guarantee efficiency.
Except for Wen Wanwan, who needs to sit in the position of the commander-in-chief as a mascot, even Shen Nan can have a good time at the Arctic expedition site for a few days.
The iron pot stewed, coupled with the flatbread soaked in soup, the atmosphere of a group of people on the deck was unusually cheerful.
By the time the meal was over, it was already completely dark.
A group of sailors also quickly returned to their positions, freed themselves from autopiloting and sped up towards the North Pole.
At ten o'clock in the evening, there were already hundreds of figures wearing luminous clothes standing here at the Arctic research site.
As the transport ship broke through the ice floe and stopped at the predetermined position, the snowmobile immediately started and rushed towards the transport ship.
The sea ruguses are so large that a snowmobile can carry up to one at a time.
Even the little ones, who are called cubs, are more than a meter long, and considering the tolerance of snowmobiles, they can only carry two at most.
Hundreds of snowmobiles may seem like a lot, but in fact, it takes at least three hours to transport a whole shipload of walruses.
Seeing that although the scene was busy, everything was in order, Wen Wanwan observed for a while and made sure that there was no problem, so he was relieved to hold the little Arctic owl in his arms and sit on a snowmobile and rushed towards the Arctic research point.
In fact, there is more than one Arctic research point in our country throughout the Arctic.
The one that came late is the closest to the Arctic Ocean, and it is also the largest one so far.
There are more than 300 researchers living here all year round, and they have been working the front line to collect enough data to support a series of research.
It's just that this kind of place is not friendly to humans at all, and few people are willing to come here except for the personnel stationed there. (End of chapter)
