Chapter 168 167 First Arrival in Antarctica, Yoga Master
The speed of this private plane is much faster than the civilian passenger plane Chen Jue took before, and the interior decoration is luxurious, just like a business hotel moving in the sky.
Chen Jue looked at the changes in the environment outside the window, and then looked at Linglong who was sitting in his seat with his eyes closed, and thought to himself: "I don't know what price the Hongmu Group paid to actually bring out this Linglong who was so indifferent to life and death. .”
As for John on the side, he was wearing headphones and looking boredly at the satellite TV on the plane, which was playing news from various countries.
Chen Jue glanced at it and noticed several pictures of rockets taking off in the news, some delivering Starlink satellites, some carrying manned spacecraft, and some pure performance tests, including tests of rocket recovery technology.
In addition to flower growers, many overseas countries have begun to increase their exploration of the starry sky.
Even some private tycoons and large consortiums have begun to frequently enter the field of civilian rockets. The most popular among them is Musk, the entrepreneur from Eagle Country who is famous for building electric vehicles.
"A community with a shared future for mankind?" Chen Jue thought secretly and glanced at the line of white clouds and blue sky outside the cabin. In the distance, there was a faint trail left by the rocket after it was launched.
"John, your Hongmu Group has a lot of money and is involved in so many industries. Have you ever entered into the commercialization of the aerospace field?" Chen Jue suddenly said this, interrupting John who was watching satellite TV.
"Mr. Chen Jue, please forgive me for being a vulgar businessman. Although aerospace is the dream of all mankind. But for the commercial field of aerospace, I feel that I will not see any effective rate of return within a few decades."
"Although I have also fantasized about going to outer space and even landing on the moon. But as you know, the current aerospace technology is not stable. Even Musk, who has the support of the Eagle Country Space Agency, his Eagle rocket He often falls uncontrollably."
"That was a rocket worth tens of millions of green coins. It didn't complete its mission before it exploded and turned into fireworks. And there have been many fireworks. No matter how rich our Hongmu Group is, we can't stand it. Why bother?"
"Unless Musk is willing to fly to the sky on a rocket he built himself, the commercialization of aerospace... is just a dream..." John took off his earphones and responded with a smile at Chen Jue.
When Chen Jue heard this, he nodded in agreement and did not continue to talk to the other party. Instead, he closed his eyes and looked at [Internal View].
At a height of 10,000 meters in the sky, Chen Jue can better observe the impact and changes of cells in the body under space radiation, as well as a series of stress reactions through [internal vision].
But when Chen Jue closed his eyes, John, who was dressed as a gentleman, turned his head and looked at the cabin window on the other side. His eyes were rolling, and the corner of his mouth curled up, revealing an incomprehensible smile, like It's like hiding some kind of ulterior secret.
…
The private jet flew thousands of kilometers. It first stopped at an airport in the southern part of Kangaroo Country, refueled and took off again.
The straight-line distance from the florist Hangzhou to the Antarctic airport is more than 13,000 kilometers. Except for a few large passenger planes that can fly there in one go, jets like the one provided by the Hongmu Group must replenish fuel midway. .
Including the few hours of stopovers, it was already five o'clock the next morning when the plane landed at a small airport in Antarctica with the Hongmu logo.
Fortunately, the seats on the plane can be folded down and have a massage function. Otherwise, an ordinary person like John would not be able to bear such a long journey.
As for Chen Jue and Linglong, both of them were masters of the golden elixir. They almost ignored the fatigue of the journey. They could recover their strength by closing their eyes and taking a nap for a few hours.
Moreover, Chen Jue was also on the plane, tasting the three special products of Hongmu Group.
One is a functional drink with ten times the nutritional content, and the other is a high-calorie energy bar, which is somewhat similar to the Snickers you usually eat, but the ingredients inside are several times more than Snickers. The last Hongmu nutritional supplement is quite different from the human nutritional supplement Chen Jue bought before.
…
The plane landed steadily, and Chen Jue saw the wind and snow blowing outside the cabin. Compared with the winter wind and snow he had seen during the northern drift, the wind and snow on the Antarctic side were more violent.
I put on the equipment I had prepared before coming here, including sweat-absorbent and breathable thermal underwear, fleece, and sweaters, and a special windproof and waterproof down jacket on top. The whole person was not bloated, but felt a bit strong.
Fortunately, Chen Jue had strong load-bearing ability and didn't feel much about the weight of the clothes. After putting on the ear protection hat, he left the cabin with John and Linglong.
The Antarctic wind in the early morning is dry and cold, and the ice and snow stings the face slightly, as if it were being scratched by a knife. This is just the outer areas of Antarctica. The climate is so bad. You can imagine how terrifying those restricted areas where no one has set foot can be.
Taking a look at the electronic thermometer on the wrist of the down jacket, Chen Jue found that the temperature outside was minus 12 degrees Celsius.
Braving the wind and snow, he walked into this scientific research station with its own small airport. The warm and warm wind that greeted him made John scream that he was alive. As for Chen Jue and Linglong, both of whom are strong human beings, they are naturally not afraid of this low temperature and behave as usual.
"John! You are still so afraid of the cold!"
"You should exercise more!"
The three of them entered the heated scientific research station, and a hearty laugh came over. They saw a middle-aged tough guy with blond hair, an unshaven face, and a bit of a rock style came out of the office and met John Bear. Hug him.
Behind the middle-aged man, there followed a mixed-race young man who was probably in his twenties. This young man had blue eyes and black hair, and his appearance had extremely obvious characteristics of a mix of Chinese and Western races. But his appearance made Chen Jue and Linglong couldn't help but look over.
"Long breathing...and this kind of temperament...this person should be practicing yoga mahamudra!" Linglong whispered softly in Chen Jue's ear.
"Is he the kind of yoga master you mentioned who can practice but can't fight?" Chen Jue replied in a low voice when he heard this, while Linglong nodded.
As for John, after giving the middle-aged foreigner a bear hug, he pulled him over and introduced to Chen Jue and Chen Jue: "Mr. Chen Jue, Miss Linglong, this is the person who mentioned extreme sports to you before. The president of the association and my lifelong best friend, Mr. Tom!”
"Welcome to Antarctica, you two. My name is Tom. Everyone at the scientific research station calls me Dad Tom."
"This is my son Bruce, whose Chinese name is Zhao Zhen. He has a quarter of the flower family's blood. He is a young man like you. I think you will become good friends!" Tom looked extremely enthusiastic, and also He can speak fluent Mandarin, and he shook hands with Chen Jue and greeted them cordially when he came up.
As for the mixed-race young man named Zhao Zhen, he smiled shyly at the two of them, especially when he saw Linglong, his face turned red. He probably fell in love with Linglong's beauty at a glance.
Chen Jue and Chen Jue also greeted them and introduced themselves, and then they walked into an office deep inside.
There are several running computers in the office, and various drawings and information are scattered on the large table, including the topography of the Antarctic continent and some huge ice valleys that are suspected to be formed after meteorites fall.
In addition, Chen Jue also saw a Buddhist niche in the office. The Buddha in the Buddhist niche was not an ordinary Buddha or Bodhisattva, but an extremely weird three-faced Buddha.
In the middle is the golden-faced Buddha with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, who saves all sentient beings. On the left is the black-faced and ferocious Vajra with angry eyes, and on the right is the image of a woman with low eyebrows and submissive eyes, full of compassion.
Seeing Chen Jue staring at the weird Buddha statue, the mixed-race young man named Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, went up and lit a stick of incense, and worshiped at the Buddha statue. He was obviously a devout Buddhist believer.
Chen Jue knows that in general, masters who practice yoga Mahamudra are not only very good at physical practice, but also have some spiritual devotion to my Buddha.
It's just that the spiritual brand emanating from Zhao Zhen's body is extremely strange, as if it is blocked by something. Not only Chen Jue can't see through it, but even Linglong, who is silent on the side, has a bright light in his eyes, secretly observing this Chinese name. My name is Zhao Zhen, a mixed-race foreigner.
…
The group of people chatted in the office for a while, and the staff at the branch station brought hot drinks. Chen Jue chatted with the tough-minded Tom about the current exploration status.
Tom shook his head and said: "Mr. Chen Jue, Ms. Linglong, you are all guests from afar! Let's take a day off today to get used to the environment here. There are too many forbidden areas in Antarctica that we cannot set foot on. There is plenty of time to explore slowly.”
There was no rush to see the president, and Chen Jue couldn't refuse the other party's kindness. They sat and chatted about some Antarctic-related knowledge, and then took Chen Jue and Linglong to the dormitory where they had arranged accommodation.
The dormitories are not big, they are all small suites similar to hotel apartments. To build such an environment in Antarctica, the Hongmu Group definitely spent a lot of money.
As soon as Chen Jue had placed the several sets of equipment that he had received, he saw Linglong coming in. She closed the door with a click, and then whispered to Chen Jue: "Fellow Taoist, that Zhao Zhen makes me feel very uncomfortable." Comfortable."
"And that Tom, although he is related to Zhao Zhen by blood, I always feel that something is wrong."
