Chapter 2 Ice Sculpture Through 10,000 Years
In 2117 A.D., 17 years have passed since the "418" Top Secret Archive.
Polar Research Expedition No. GD1748. The second group of teams after the polar research expedition team in 2100 AD.
They want to unravel the secrets of the "418 Top Secret Archive".
According to the research team of the previous scientific team, the ice sculpture seems to be from hundreds of thousands of years ago, but there is no conclusive evidence.
They can't prove whether the boy who jumped out seventeen years ago is a man, a demon, or an alien product.
This is a matter of concern for the entire planet, and it has become a major headache for scientific research centers.
If it's an alien invasion, then the highest vigilance must be taken. However, nothing is known yet, so it is necessary to find out where the ice sculpture came from.
The country's leaders have repeatedly stressed the need to address this issue.
As a result, Zhang Haiping, the current vice academician of the Polar Expedition Scientific Research Center, took the initiative to take over this grim task.
Heavy snow and ice cover the ice fields of the Far North. The wind was bitterly cold, and the cold and dry air cut through the vast ice fields like knives.
The icebreaker Valorman-2 is breaking through the thick ice and heading towards the vast ice field.
Click, click, click. The ice broke down constantly, creating a road large enough for boats to pass.
A group of young scientific researchers were standing on the deck with great ambition, and the bright five-star red flag was fluttering.
"Dean. A Chinese scientist said, "We're almost there." ”
"Hmm. Zhang Haiping nodded, "Tell the comrades, dress up, bring supplies, and be ready to get off the ship at any time." ”
"Yes. ”
Zhang Haiping was wearing a thick cold-proof suit, standing on the deck, spit out a trace of heat from his mouth and nose, the hot vapor steamed, turned into mist, attached to Zhang Haiping's lenses, and was frozen in an instant.
"Over the years, the average temperature at the poles has dropped by tens of degrees, does that have anything to do with those ice sculptures?" Zhang Haiping pondered.
While he was thinking, the ship stopped. The destination has arrived.
"Wow, is this the North Pole?" a group of young scientists slowly stepped off the boat.
"It's not the same as what you see in the book. ”
"Well, the real ones are much better than the ones in the books. It's spectacular. ”
"As a child in the south, I had never seen snow, and now I could see such a large ice field, and it would be worth it for me to die. ”
"It's weird, though. Over the years, the temperature at the poles has been decreasing, and the temperature on both sides of the equator has become warmer and higher, and I am really worried about the future survival of mankind. ”
"Maybe this is the earth's revenge on humanity. ”
"Huh. Are you saying that the boy who jumped out of the ice was human?"
"Zi is silent, strange and confused. It's better to talk about it less, our purpose is to find the ice sculpture pieces, and that teenager is really weird, so don't talk about it. ”
......
After Zhang Haiping saw that everyone had disembarked, he said, "Comrades, since everyone has disembarked, let's go to the polar expedition center base, rest for two days first, and then conduct scientific research investigations." ”
"Yes. Everyone replied.
"Xiao Liu, get ready for the compass. In such an extreme environment, electronic instruments can be rendered useless. ”
"David, pay more attention to whether there are polar bears around. ”
Zhang Haiping arranged, and a team of people walked towards the base of the polar expedition center in a reasonable and orderly manner.
Two days later.
Polar Expedition Center Base.
"We've been to the North Pole for two days, and I think most of our comrades should have used to it. So, let's talk about scientific research. Zhang Haiping stood in front of everyone and said.
"There is one year's worth of supplies in the base, but we have to keep enough for half a year for the next group of researchers, so we only have half a year. ”
"Half a year seems to be a lot of time. However, it was also very difficult to find the traces of the ice sculpture in half a year and come up with more effective information. ”
"We don't know if there are any fragments of the ice sculpture that have passed 17 years, but I think those fragments are still there in the center of the polar region. Zhang Haiping said slowly.
"We first had to find the location where the ice sculpture was found seventeen years ago. Zhang Haiping said.
"Xiao Ke. Can you calculate where the location is?" Zhang Haiping said to a young man.
Although there are specific coordinates at that time, there will still be some slight deviations in the seventeenth year.
"The coordinates were (73°51"N, 136°47"E) back then, and it's pretty much the same now, well, not far from the base, about five kilometers. Xiao Ke said.
"Mark it on the map. Must be precise. Zhang Haiping said.
"Good. Xiao Ke nodded, and a map with a few red marks appeared shortly after.
"Dean, according to my calculations, the places where the ice sculptures exploded at that time were probably in these places. Xiao Ke said, "It's been too long, and a lot of information is blurred, and I can't get the most accurate answer." ”
"Hmm. Zhang Haiping nodded, and then said, "Comrades, pack up and go." ”
A quarter of an hour later, the personnel were in place.
"Driving the ice field car can save physical strength and time. Zhang Haiping said.
"Dean, we don't have much fuel, we must keep it for half a year. ”
"Is there any combustible ice?" Zhang Haiping asked.
"Yes, it's sufficient, but it needs to be rebuilt before it can be used. ”
"Okay, let's use fuel first today, and when we come back tonight, we will work hard for you to transform the ice car. Zhang Haiping said.
"You still have to have the compass, the watch ready, and don't rely on all the electronics, sometimes, they are not reliable. Zhang Haiping said.
Several ice field cars drove five kilometers away. However, the ice field is difficult to travel, and in addition, you must always pay attention to the position, so the ice field car is very slow.
Half an hour later, several ice field cars arrived at their destination. Researchers got out of the car one after another.
"This is the place where Xiao Ke is given. Zhang Haiping said, "Next, I will act in groups to find out if there are any traces of broken ice in the vicinity, and if there is, take them away." ”
The teams began to move separately, and Zhang Haiping returned to the ice field car and opened the report from 17 years ago.
"418" Top Secret Archives": "In 2100, our polar expedition team number GD0035 found a lifelike ice sculpture at 73 degrees 51 minutes north latitude and 136 degrees 47 minutes east longitude. ”
"Based on multiple tests, we can infer that the ice sculptures may have come from hundreds of thousands of years ago and are not earthly, and we can perceive from the collected debris that there seems to be a dark aura in the ice sculptures that is constantly fluctuating. But we have never found a result. We suspect that this is an alien invasion of Earth. ”
"Addendum 1: All of us who have come into contact with the broken ice have started to have the same dream, the dream of a huge ancient castle tower, the soldiers on it lit the beacon smoke, blew the horn, it seems that there is a war going on, humans and all kinds of strange beasts are fighting bloodily, and finally, a huge head emerges from the black sky. We dare to speculate that this is another planet like Earth. ”
"Addendum 2: Our dreams go on and on, as if there is a pattern to follow, once every three days. ”
"Addendum 3: It is worth mentioning that people who have not been directly exposed to ice cubes have not had this dream, and only those of us who have been exposed to ice cubes have started to have this dream. Perhaps, it is the energy in this ice cube that is reflected in our minds. ”
"Addendum 4: Ahhh ”
Speaker: Polar Research and Exploration Center Team No. GD0035
Date: December 18, 2100.
When Zhang Haiping was watching the report, at this time, a scientific researcher ran over excitedly and said excitedly.
"Report to the dean, we found it, we found the ice sculpture. ”
......
In the distant Ancheng, Bai Shu was pondering at the moment.
The moonlight was like practice, Bai Shu sat on the bed and looked at the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"
Suddenly, a strange feeling emerged from Bai Shu's body.
"It's a dream. Bai Shu muttered to himself, "Is the dream coming again?"
