Chapter 886 - Interview with Phoenix TV
The assessment and training matters were handed over to the instructor team and Dragon TV.
Liu Wei’s work focuses on material procurement.
The overhaul of the icebreaker has reached the end, the helicopter has also been sent to the magic city, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
Under the introduction of Professor Zhu, a meteorological expert, Liu Wei met the veteran driver who had been sailing for 20 years.
Chatted all morning.
Both parties are quite satisfied. Liu Wei paid double the salary as promised. Before departure, half of the salary was paid. After returning, the other half was paid. If anything goes wrong, this part of the money and the insurance compensation will be sent together. In the hands of his family.
Dragon TV reporter Liu Fang sent Liu Wei an interview appointment in advance, and Liu Wei agreed.
On this day, she brought the team to the happy repair shop.
“Hello! Mr. Liu!” Liu Fang was wearing a white suit with a bun, and generously reached out to Liu Wei.
“Hello!” Liu Wei shook hands.
“Mr. Liu! Could you please introduce your icebreaker!”
The interview recording starts directly.
“Please here!” Liu Wei invited.
Cameramen and staff followed closely behind.
Liu Fang talked as he walked, “Mr. Liu, I have read a lot of media reports before coming. It is said that your icebreaker is very difficult to come by!”
Liu Wei nodded, “There are some restrictions, but now it is a civilian vessel licensed by the China Maritime Safety Administration and is protected by our laws.”
“It is rumored that this icebreaker cost 150 million?” Liu Fang then asked.
“This is just the cost of the hull! With other materials, 300 million has been spent on the account now!”
Liu Fang smiled with a hint of surprise, “Mr. Liu, can you tell me more specifically?”
“Slow down!” Liu Wei stretched out his hand to help Liu Fang, and the two stepped onto the splints. “Helicopters and life-saving equipment are not included. Do you know how much gas it costs to go to Antarctica?”
Liu Fang shook his head.
She has absolutely no concept in this regard.
Liu Wei walked to the warehouse where the splint was being welded and waved his hand to the engineer. The engineer activated the switch and the door opened.
Liu Fang covered her mouth.
There are two basketball courts in such a large space.
The two innermost corners are stacked with large and small oil drums.
Liu Wei pointed to the oil barrel. “This is a conventional power icebreaker. The source of power is burning oil. According to the scientific research route provided by the Xuelong, we have made detailed and accurate calculations. Reserve oil, worth 11 million yuan!”
Liu Fang’s eyes suddenly supported, and his neck shrank back unconsciously.
It can be said that I was frightened.
But she is an experienced reporter who knows how to control her emotions and facial expressions when facing the camera.
“Mr. Liu! It is beyond my scope of cognition!” Liu Fang changed the subject and asked, “As far as I know, the crew is still being screened. How many crew members did you set off last?”
“There are 38 professionals and 50 volunteers, a total of 88 people!” Liu Weidao, “This is a very large team. It is also the first time that I have led so many people to do an incredible thing. Yes, I am now I feel incredible!”
“Mr. Liu, I admire you very much!” Liu Fang smiled and said, “What is your biggest worry about this trip to the South Pole?”
Liu Wei bluntly said: “The most worried thing is my crew. Most of them lack professional knowledge and systematic training. I can only provide them with a short-term training based on strict physical fitness requirements.
I don’t want accidents for my crew.
You know, the sea changes as usual, even if we have professionals and advanced equipment, we cannot guarantee the complete avoidance of severe weather such as storms, thunderstorms, and air currents.
Especially when crossing the devil west wind belt, I think at that time, I will be uneasy and sleepless at night.
As the captain, I must consider everything more comprehensively.
Such as the simplest things, our daily water and food!
Before departure, we need to prepare 30 tons of fresh water and 100 days’ worth of food. There is no way to purify so much fresh water on the sea at one time, only to prepare in advance.
The next place to supply supplies is at the wharf in Sydney, Australia. This means that we will be drifting at sea for nearly 100 days after starting from the magic city.
Can you feel that feeling? “
Liu Wei looked at Liu Fang.
Liu Fang was stunned.
Not being fooled by Liu Wei’s question, but actually following Liu Wei’s thinking to envision the situation of drifting on the sea for 100 days.
The scene that emerged in Liu Fang’s mind was lonely, helpless…
Not so romantic anyway!
More challenges and torture!
It seems that the whole person will be completely separated from human society for a long time.
That feeling is too uncomfortable!
Liu Wei looked at Liu Fang’s expression and smiled and said, “So I admire the young people who participated in the selection. Many of them are students who have just graduated from university. If they can get the crew quota, their lives will change from here. !”
Liu Fang nodded, “Just like you, I admire their courage!”
The two went down to the living area on the third floor.
The living area has almost been renovated.
“How? It’s okay?” Liu Wei said proudly, “I have bought the most expensive insurance for every crew member, and I will also provide them with the best board and lodging.
During the itinerary, the crew’s body immunity is very important. I have hired the best nutritionist and chef in China! “
Liu Fang: “They will be happy!”
“Of course, this is a scientific research ship with a dream of Nian!”
The two sat on chairs in the dining room, facing each other.
Liu Fang then interviewed: “Mr. Liu, what kind of opportunity gave you such a bold idea?”
Liu Wei tilted his head, “Think of it! If you think of it, try it. On the way to Antarctica, I can also start a live broadcast and take my fans to watch the wonderful ocean world and magical marine life!”
“I am your fan too!” Liu Fang said with a smile, “I will definitely cheer for you in the live broadcast during this trip to the South Pole!”
“Thank you!”
“Mr. Liu, how do you understand the saying that you must dare to challenge life?” Liu Fang asked.
“According to our ability, challenge is not equal to death. We are all adults. Before deciding to do something, we must consider its risk!
Challenge does not mean recklessness, I always think so! “Liu Wei said his thoughts.
“I agree with you very much, Mr. Liu, what do you want to say to fans who like you and support you?” Liu Fang finally asked, the cameraman’s lens focused on Liu Wei’s face.
Liu Wei looked at the camera and smiled and said, “Brothers, waiting for you in the wind and rain in the live broadcast room, I will take you to conquer the Pacific Ocean!”
Very standard live tone.
Liu Wei thinks this way can better express his enthusiasm and kindness.
“Mr. Liu, thank you for accepting our interview, for interrupting you!” Liu Fang got up and shook hands with Liu Wei, “I look forward to your triumphant victory!”
“Thank you!” Liu Wei thanked.
