Chapter 961: Arriving at the South Pole
More than twenty hours went really quickly. After Jiang Hai and the others got up, they washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and then ate some breakfast. When they went out, they could see the sea level in the distance from time to time. Some broken ice drifted over.
However, it is completely different from the "winter" in Antarctica. It is summer here, so there is not much broken ice. Instead, there are a lot of exposed land and rocks on some small islands in the distance.
From Jiang Hai's perspective, there were many seabirds, seals and other creatures on those small islands.
There are many penguins among them, and now is the time of year when penguins breed. In addition to some black and white penguins, there are also many gray-feathered penguins, which look really interesting from a distance.
"When you get to the shore, you will know how annoying these guys are." Although the other people did not have Jiang Hai's eyesight, they were also watching with binoculars. However, looking at Jiang Hai's actions, the captain over there couldn't help but He spoke with a smile.
Although Jiang Hai and the others don't understand what this means now, they know from his words that it seems that these penguins and seals are indeed not good cakes. As the ship gets closer and closer to the Antarctic continent, Jiang Hai and the others also feel the Antarctic feeling. winter.
We are at the beach now, so the temperature is not very cold, about two or three degrees below zero, but when the sea breeze blows, it is not that cold. Fortunately, Jiang Hai and the others are used to the temperature of his fishing ground, but those from the CIA Some of them can't stand it anymore.
The three team members were okay. They were exposed to the wind and sun all day long, and they could still withstand it. They wore thick combat uniforms, tactical vests, etc., and held guns. They could withstand it here, but Luis Caza The two guys, De and Jidad-Mode, couldn't stand it anymore. After watching outside for a while, they returned to the cabin. As for whether they went to keep warm and how to keep warm, Jiang Hai and the others didn't know. , standing on the boat, feeling the biting north wind, not long after, the outline of a distant scientific research station appeared in front of Jiang Hai and the others. Almost all major countries in the world have scientific research stations in Antarctica.
The largest number of them is Soviet Russia. This is also the result of the cold station period. At that time, Soviet Russia had been competing with the United States for the position of global leader. Whatever you do, I will do it accordingly. At that time, Soviet Russia was really powerful. .
But it is a pity that the heavy industry in Soviet Russia is extremely developed, but the light industry is really poor, almost zero.
At that time, almost all light industry came from China. In the Far East of Soviet Russia, that is, in Siberia, everyone of Jiang Hai's generation had heard of it. People of their father's generation often had people sitting there. The train goes to the border, where China's light industrial products are exchanged for gold or other valuable things.
At that time, a relative of Fuyuan was engaged in this business. Once after he finished exchanging things, he randomly saw someone selling Caucasian puppies. This kind of dog was worth hundreds of dollars in China at that time, so he took A piece of clothing worth fifty yuan was exchanged for two such cubs. One was sold and the other was given to Fuyuan's family to raise.
Jiang Hai and the others all know this. It is precisely because they only develop heavy industry and not light industry. As the world gradually becomes peaceful, the main products produced by heavy industry in Soviet Russia, such as weapons, cannot be sold.
After being tricked by the United States, the Soviet Union was finished and then disintegrated. However, these things inherited from the previous era were still very powerful. Currently, the Soviet Union has eight scientific research stations in Antarctica, which is the most.
Next is the United States, which has five, and then China has four. Generally speaking, the first place for people who come to Antarctica to visit is Half Moon Island, where there is Argentina’s Kamala scientific research station, but Jiang Hai is not They came here to play, so they went directly to the scientific research station in the United States. The big ship slowly docked at the bridge outside the scientific research station. Then Jiang Hai and the others were also preparing to disembark. But when they were about to disembark, this The people on the boat were also preparing to disembark.
"Are you going to wait for us here?" Looking at these people, Jiang Hai asked with some confusion.
"Of course, the CIA official paid for the round trip. There are no fish now, so it's better for me to wait for you, not to mention there are many entertainment programs here." After hearing Jiang Hai's words, this The captain laughed very loudly. Looking at his smile, Jiang Hai was a little confused. What good programs are there in this world of ice and snow?
Shaking his head, since these people didn't leave, Jiang Hai would save himself the trouble. Carrying his things, Jiang Hai got off the boat and went to the middle of the scientific research station. There were still some fruits exposed outside. area, where there are large groups of penguins and seals.
The seals were more or less clever. They watched the boat approaching from a distance. Most of the seals just nested together and got into the cold water. Although they did not swim away, they watched the people on the boat on the beach. If these If people want to attack them, these guys will dive and escape directly, but the penguins are much stupider. In fact, no one will catch the penguins.
One is because there are really many such animals, and the other is because this thing really has no value at all.
Penguin skin is really not suitable for making clothes, because even though it looks like this, the fur on its skin is really feathers... It may not be more useful than duck or goose feathers, and who would do it anyway? I was so miserable that I went to the Antarctic to kill this creature.
The second thing is the meat of this creature, which may be for protection from the cold. It is all fat. If it were in ancient times, these big moving fat chunks might be really popular with the people, but who would eat them now? ?
This is reality, so there are 120 million of these creatures in Antarctica alone. They have nothing to do with being endangered or high-risk. One seal in Antarctica can eat fifteen seals a day. Penguins, so there are really not many of these things, and after getting off the boat, Jiang Hai knew the first reason why penguins are annoying...
Because this guy stinks so much! When we were on the boat, we were far away, and the wind was blowing from south to north. It was summer after all, so Jiang Hai hadn't smelled it yet. When he got off the boat, he felt as if he had entered a chicken farm...
Penguins, like most birds, do not have a fixed place to defecate. They poop wherever they want, so if you look at it from a distance, you can't see clearly. But if you look up close, you can see that it is everywhere. Bird poop…
The stench combined with the fishy smell of the sea almost made Jiang Hai choke and vomit, including some of his men who couldn't bear it anymore.
Fortunately, these people are experienced in many battles. Whether it is Azarina or Bell, their strength is not weak. Connorson-Peters used to be a black boxer, and he is a bastard on the court. He could bear the blood, let alone bird droppings, so she didn't do anything else. Among the CIA people, the three soldiers naturally didn't matter, but that woman, Guidad Maude and Louise- As soon as Kazard was blown by the small wind, he vomited on the spot.
After they got used to it, everyone covered their noses and walked out of the area and entered the American scientific research station in the distance. As soon as they walked in, they saw a fat man holding a beer and looking at Jiang with a smile. Sea them.
Especially when he saw the four women who came with the team, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Welcome, welcome, come on, come inside." Smiling at Jiang Hai and the others, the guy said with a smile on his face.
"This is Dr. Westan Carr, the person in charge of this scientific research station." Seeing how enthusiastic this guy was, Louis Cazard, who had just recovered from behind, took a deep breath, walked up to him, and said Jiang Hai introduced.
"Hello, doctor." Jiang Hai frowned when he heard that he was the person in charge here. His sixth sense told him that this guy must have no good intentions, especially when he looked at the three girls beside him just now. time, but since this was his territory, Jiang Hai still stretched out his hand and shook it.
"This is Jiang Hai, Mr. Jiang. He is going to have a look inside Antarctica. We will stay here overnight and leave early tomorrow morning." When Jiang Hai shook hands with him, Louis Kazad also introduced him. Jiang Hai.
After hearing his words, the doctor also smiled. In fact, how did he know Jiang Hai? But it didn't stop him from saying something like "Long Admiration", but his eyes kept looking at Azarina and the others. Looking at him, Azarina and the others also frowned. This guy seemed to Some of them are blatantly perverted.
"Please come inside and let me introduce you to the situation here." Maybe he saw the disgust in Azalina's expression, but he didn't care. He smiled and led Jiang Hai and the others in. .
Not long after, Jiang Hai and the others walked into the scientific research station, which was divided into three parts.
Living area, scientific research area and observation area. The so-called observation area is an open-air platform. Of course, there is a glass cover outside to block the wind. Here you can observe and record Antarctic celestial images. There are many in the scientific research area. Jiang Hai couldn't understand machines and the like, and the living area was definitely one of the largest areas in the scientific research station.
Everyone has an independent living space, a huge warehouse, a bar area, a bathing area, a kitchen, a dining room, etc.
However, Jiang Hai discovered that both the men and women in this scientific research station looked at Jiang Hai and the others in a strange way. The men were looking at the women in Jiang Hai and his team wantonly, while the women were looking at them. Jiang Hai. .
Especially for Connerson Peters, a tall man, many women are almost drooling just looking at him. (To be continued.)
