371 Old Investigator: There are wolves in Antarctica!

Chapter 371: Old Inspector: There are wolves in Antarctica!

Rounding a slope, the scene behind the iceberg also appeared in front of several people's eyes.

Hundreds of penguins are lying on the ground, enjoying one of the few sunshines in Antarctica.

After Wen Wanwan asked Shen Nan to record the location and approximate number, she opened her mouth to introduce it to the audience in the live broadcast room.

"The penguin in front of us is called the Gentoo penguin, also known as the Kintu penguin and the white-browed penguin."

"They are the fastest swimmers in the penguin family, reaching speeds of up to 36 kilometres per hour, and are the most well-deserved swimmers among birds."

"Compared to the group that just fought, the temper of the Gentoo penguins can be said to be countless times better."

"After about half a month of recuperation at the Great Wall Station, that guy disappeared after he recovered, and we just went to find the tribe as a treat."

The larger, older little penguin wins the race and gets food from its parents, and the other little penguin has to wait for the next time.

"Hello, I'm Wen Wanwan, the commander-in-chief of the marine animal collection program!"

Wen Wanwan observed carefully for a while, and saw that many penguins were hatching eggs, and quickly instructed Shen Nan.

Gentoo penguins generally breed during the winter months, and the hatching period lasts for seven to eight months.

Although today's work at the temporary base has come to an end, it will be some time anyway.

These little guys are lying lazily on the ice one by one, and the corners of their cinnabar red mouths look completely worthy of a sentence of clear eyebrows.

She used to meddle at will, so it wasn't to help but to make trouble.

"I'm an Antarctic in '97, and that will be limited in supplies, and we can probably replenish food and oil for two months when a fleet comes."

Although it is not so precise, it is enough to have this approximate number, and it is convenient to arrange tasks for volunteers when they are handed over to Ba Xiangshan in the future.

At this point, most people's work has already been assigned, as long as it is done within the specified time according to the plan.

Multiplying this multiple by the penguin incubating eggs gives you a less specific number.

Professor Fang's tone was very excited, the extinction that Wen Wanwan said would not work for him at all!

"No way, you must be mistaken, Captain John Strong was the first Falkland Islands wolf to be discovered in 1690,"

If both pups hatch, they rush to get their parents to feed themselves.

After all, the distance is not far, and there is no traffic jam in the South Pole like the North Pole, and the snowmobiles quickly arrived at the location of the temporary base at a gallop all the way.

"Later ......"

All the way back to the area where the motorboat was parked, Wen Wanwan sat in the co-pilot and said hello to the audience in the live broadcast room.

Based on the current temperature and the food content in the area, it is possible to roughly calculate a multiple of the eggs.

Compared with the Arctic, the port on the Antarctic side is close, making it easier to transport some supplies.

Even if the number of volunteers is not as large as the large army in the Arctic, the pace of construction of the base is not slow at all.

"Let's go, let's see how the base is, I guess the infrastructure should have been built."

……

"That's all for today's live broadcast for the time being, tomorrow I will continue to take everyone to see different species of penguins, maybe if you are lucky, you can meet some rarer species."

Now there is about a month before incubation, as long as the eggs are placed in the incubator and artificially cultivated, the cubs will not have the problem of insufficient food after birth.

If there is not enough food, usually the second baby penguin will starve to death.

"Charles Darwin landed on the island in 1833 to investigate, and eventually named it, and in 1868 the last Falkland wolf died at the London Zoo."

"The way to tell the difference is also very simple, the Gentoo penguins are usually 56 to 66 centimeters tall, generally weigh 5.5 kilograms, have a slender beak, red corners of the beak, and a red triangle at the corners of the eyes."

Looking at each other, Professor Fang also began to tell Wen Wanwan the original story.

"The Falkland Islands wolf was definitely not extinct in 1876, I came to the Great Wall Station in '97, and I saw it with my own eyes in that year!"

Wen Wanwan and Professor Fang chatted very happily, after all, one is a zoological expert, and the other has lived in Antarctica for so long and has many opinions about the animals here.

In the barrage of tomorrow in the live broadcast room, Wen Wanwan quickly turned off the live broadcast, buttoned her hat a little tighter, and shrank in the co-pilot waiting for the motorcycle to go to the temporary base.

The old man's face was full of smiles, and he looked down at the equipment in his hand from time to time, and also turned his head to chat with Wen Wanwan.

"Hello girl!"

Although the eggs could not be seen clearly under the penguin, Wen Wanwan also roughly calculated the number.

It can even be said that with a variety of modern facilities, coupled with the uninterrupted work of the generator set, the prototype of a base can be vaguely seen in just one afternoon.

"Wanwan, let me introduce you, this is Professor Fang, the data recorder of the Antarctic Great Wall Station, and this time I came to help us plan the temperature control of our temporary base."

But Su Xiu on the side has no ability at all, and the collision of ideas between intellectuals is impossible to keep up with their ideas without sufficient knowledge reserves.

Shen Nan didn't know where to move a small stool, and she could interject from time to time during the heated conversation between the two.

At this point, the penguins will flee to the side, and the baby penguins will chase after them to feed them.

Seeing the hot work of the base, Wen Wanwan wisely did not go over to make trouble.

Wen Wanwan's strong mental power allows her to easily find relevant records in her memory, and there will definitely be no problems in this regard.

"In the sixth month of my visit, a little researcher brought back a little dog-like animal that night, and when he saw that it was injured and hadn't eaten for a long time, he fed it some meatloaf."

And now is the time of the day, as Gentoo penguins usually lay one or two eggs at a time.

I've been around here for hours, and Wen Wanwan glanced at the time.

Instead of being disliked, it is better to chat with Professor Fang here, and maybe you can get some news that the data center does not have.

"At that time, I remembered that there were only seven people at the research station, and everyone had to go out every day to record data, and the food was kept in the warehouse, and no one took care of it."

Hearing this, a smile quickly appeared on Wen Wanwan's face, and she said hello to Professor Fang.

Professor Fang paused for a moment when he said this, his eyes full of emotion.

"Then, two years later, an unusual snowstorm suddenly came, and it was unfortunate to catch up with the days when we needed supplies."
