When the snowmobile stopped outside the Arctic research site, the whole camp was filled with laughter.

This is the first time that so many people have come to the research site, and it also makes the scientific researchers and soldiers stationed here extremely happy.

As soon as Wen Wanwan's footsteps stepped into the gate of the camp, a hand reached out from the side and handed her a roast chicken leg.

"I'm tired, eat something to warm up!"

Wen Wanwan took the chicken leg with a little confusion and looked towards the camp.

At this time, more than a dozen large barbecue grills were set up in the camp, and in front of each barbecue grill was a soldier in military uniform.

And many scientific researchers in white coats also chatted with the soldiers with smiles on their faces at this time.

Not everyone brings work to life, and most researchers don't really enjoy their time in the lab.

Working overtime in the laboratory every day is more of a responsibility than just the needs of work.

For example, today the whole site is on holiday, and everyone gets together to enjoy the time of life, and they are also looking forward to it.

Wen Wanwan hadn't finished eating a big chicken leg yet, and his hands had already been stuffed with beef skewers and mutton skewers one after another, and he didn't even know who had sent a string of lamb kidneys.

Looking at these skewers, Wen Wanwan was also a little crying and laughing.

"Don't make a fuss, this is Commander Wen!"

Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't last long, and an old man standing on the side was the first to spot Wen Wanwan and walked up quickly.

"Hello Commander Wen, I'm the person in charge of the Arctic expedition: Zhou Ziqiang!"

"Hello!"

After a simple handshake, Zhou Ziqiang quickly walked to the house at the base with Wen Wanwan.

"I'm sorry, we rarely have outsiders here, and it's hard to have a lively time, and they're a little too enthusiastic."

"It's okay, that's good!"

Wen Wanwan didn't feel anything about the current situation in the camp, and the scientific research tasks here at the Arctic expedition site were extremely heavy, so it stands to reason that they shouldn't bother.

But these people have to find a place to rest, and as far as the eye can see, within a radius of 50 kilometers, only the inspection site can meet this need.

Seeing that Wen Wanwan really didn't mind, Zhou Ziqiang was relieved, and began to introduce Wen Wanwan to the facilities in the camp.

"The tent area over there is for the soldiers on duty, and they originally lived in the building with us, but then the peacekeepers came here to stay ...... temporarily."

When he said this, Zhou Ziqiang shrunk his neck, and when he saw that no one was approaching, he continued to speak.

"That night, the soldiers on duty fell asleep because of the air conditioner, and they didn't wake up until the peacekeepers entered the building, and then they were on duty at night in a tent at the gate of the camp."

I have to say that listening to gossip is really happy, Wen Wanwan listened to Zhou Ziqiang's narration, and unconsciously finished eating the skewers in his hand.

"The building here is a three-story building, and it is also the accommodation area for the entire research site."

"The bungalows over there make our power stations use wind power without large-scale experiments, but if we carry out experimental tasks, we will also start thermal power generation at the same time."

"After the power station, you can see a piece of solar energy in the canteen and warehouse."

"But our cooks here are really unpalatable, and we usually eat them together while the fighters are training."

"The one in the back is the parking lot, and below is our test area."

Wen Wanwan's eyes kept moving with Zhou Ziqiang's introduction, and she also had a little understanding of this Arctic research site.

There is no doubt that as China's earliest establishment in the Arctic, it is also the largest research point, and the area of land is naturally needless to say.

And the title of infrastructure madness is not casual, even in the icy North Pole, houses have been built here.

"What's that area?"

Wen Wanwan's gaze finally fixed on an area emitting warm lights, and it was a little difficult to see clearly.

"Farms and vegetable greenhouses, do you want to go and see?"

When he said this, Zhou Ziqiang's face was obviously full of pride, and it was obvious that this place should have been built under his auspices during his tenure.

"Let's go, let's see!"

Wen Wanwan put on her coat and followed Zhou Ziqiang's footsteps to the light.

The thick curtain was lifted, and the area in front of me was finally revealed.

The plastic greenhouse is made of alloy steel frame to ensure that the snow will not collapse here, and all the heating facilities fixed around it make the temperature in the whole greenhouse above 20.

In the soil are green cabbage, and automatic equipment is constantly running, turning snow into fresh water and spraying it on the land.

I have to say that the talent of the Chinese people in farming is really strong, and the vegetables in this greenhouse are still grown in the ice and snow.

"How many greenhouses are there?"

"Fifty!"

The proud voice made Wen Wanwan feel a little incredible, one or two can be said to be taken care of, but the number of fifty is definitely not so simple to complete, he deserves to be proud!

"How?"

Hearing Wen Wanwan's inquiry, Zhou Ziqiang opened his mouth to explain.

"That was my third year in office, and because of the snowstorm, more than 170 people went up and down the entire expedition site, and they were hungry for seven days."

"Since then, we've set ourselves a mission to solve the problem of farming in the Arctic."

"As long as we complete the tasks in between, we will find time to solve the problems listed little by little."

"It took five years to supply heating equipment, thaw ice, dig in shallow seas, and turn saline-alkali land into black soil."

"When the last problem was solved, we started to build the greenhouses as soon as possible, and it took two years to build all 50 greenhouses."

Although it is an understatement, Wen Wanwan knows very well what kind of difficulty exists here.

It's not like a grant from above, bringing together a group of experts to devote themselves to research.

It's just that a group of researchers worked together to use their free time to exert a huge amount of energy, spend years and overcome a lot of difficulties.

"The soil here is the soil of the sea?"

Zhou Ziqiang nodded: "Although the soil that can be planted is inconspicuous, it is a very important thing in any country. ”

"No one wants to sell their land, even a small amount, and we don't want to trouble the country, so we can only choose the sea and soil."

Sea soil, also known as saline-alkali soil, is basically impossible to grow food.

It is conceivable that the soil of the entire fifty greenhouses is how hard it took the researchers here to turn into black soil that can be cultivated.

"In order to farm, you are really fighting!" (End of chapter)
