Chapter 792: 【792】Snow Dragon
Seven rescue teams of about 50 people were assembled by the state in just a few hours.
As the saying goes, time is precious. Every minute and every second you pay close attention to, there is an extra chance to find the missing scientific expedition team.
Bing Gui was very fast, and after getting to know the members of his team, Jiang Le went with them on this trip to the Antarctic continent.
It is worth mentioning that the leader of the team this time turned out to be Old Chen himself.
That is to say, this veteran of the archaeological circle, this time will go out together with Jiang Le and the others.
However, only under Jiang Le’s worries, did he learn about the action at that time. Old Chen would only stay on the ship to conduct command, and would not disembark and risk his life.
This made Jiang Le feel a lot more relieved. Otherwise, with the harsh climate of tens of degrees below zero in the Antarctic, old people like Chen Lao might not be able to return to China alive.
Capital Airport.
As the saying goes, the soldiers are very fast, first take a plane to the Antarctic scientific research station established by the Eastern country, and then take a boat to investigate the missing place of the scientific research team.
This plan was confirmed and filed before Jiang Le was notified by Mr. Chen.
Therefore, when Jiang Le followed Chen Lao and his entourage to the airport, a private plane arranged by the state was waiting for them, and the plane would take off immediately as long as the crew arrived.
Transport the small teams to Antarctica in the shortest time.
After Jiang Le walked into the cabin, he discovered that someone had been sitting there waiting. Judging from the uniforms they were wearing, they should be members of other teams.
“Come on, Mr. Chen.” A middle-aged man saw the arrival of Mr. Chen’s team and immediately got up to greet him.
“Ha, yes, I temporarily joined a team member, which took some time.”
That person turned his attention to Jiang Le: “Jiang Le, I know, now the world’s number one explorer, with top outdoor abilities, this time you can join the rescue plan, and I feel that the success rate will be much faster. Quite a lot.”
Jiang Le said, “You are too polite, uncle.”
Through the conversation, Jiang Le learned that this person is a retiree of the National Antarctic Scientific Expedition Team. He used to be the captain of the scientific expedition team.
When he was in danger, he returned to his old business. It seems that the disappearance of the scientific expedition team this time has exploded a lot of bigwigs in the industry.
As the crew gradually arrived, the plane took off immediately.
The buildings on the ground quickly became small dots in Jiang Le’s eyes.
…
For decades, Eastern countries have been exploring the Antarctic continent without interruption. The first Antarctic scientific research station, the Great Wall Station, was completed on February 20, 1985.
In the following decades, the Antarctic Zhongshan Station, the Antarctic Kunlun Station, the Antarctic Taishan Station, and the Antarctic Ross Sea New Station have been built one after another, describing a large scale.
The location of the seven rescue teams this time is the earliest Antarctic Great Wall Station.
The Great Wall Station now has 10 large permanent buildings, including living buildings, scientific research buildings, meteorological buildings, cultural and sports buildings, power generation buildings, comprehensive warehouses, and food warehouses.
It can accommodate about 60 people for inspection in summer, and about 20 people for overwintering in winter.
In order to improve this rescue operation, the country has prepared a lot of food and purified water, so that the members of the rescue team can have long-lived resources in Antarctica.
The sky is freezing, icebergs and snowy.
At the moment when he set foot on the Antarctic continent, Jiang Le only felt the unstoppable cold air penetrating into his body.
Even on the way before he came, he had already included the national team’s special cold-resistant down jacket and multi-layer thermal underwear. At this moment, he still couldn’t make Jiang Le feel cold at all.
“Hiss huh!” He breathed out lightly, and the white mist that was visible to the naked eye gushed out of his mouth.
You can even see tiny ice crystals falling from mid-air to the ground, which shows how low the temperature is at this moment.
On this quiet continent, apart from the sound of human footsteps and breathing, there are no other sounds, and the silence is scary.
Buzzing!
At this moment, the roar of the machine sounded from behind the snow **** not far away, which sounded like the movement of some crawler machine.
Jiang Le looked up, and saw a number of snowmobiles rushing across the snow, but they were coming to pick them up.
If you want to travel long distances in Antarctica, it is very difficult without the help of a snowmobile.
If no one comes to pick them up, I am afraid it will take a while to get to the port and take a boat.
It is important for the rescue team to save people, but time should not be wasted on this kind of link.
With the help of snowmobiles, everyone soon arrived at the port of Antarctica.
A polar expedition ship that had been waiting for a long time has been parked in the ship waiting for Jiang Le.
The polar expedition ship is a professional survey ship specially manufactured to be used by scientific researchers who conduct marine surveys and surveys in the Arctic and Antarctic waters.
It has many functions such as strong hull, strong ice-breaking ability, and strong cold-proof performance. It is the best means of transportation to the depths of Antarctica.
If you board an ordinary ship, you will not even be able to enter the inland Antarctica, and you will be directly blocked by the thick ice.
Among the many well-known polar expedition ships in the world, the “Snow Dragon” of the Eastern Country is on the list.
This time the country is very important to this rescue operation, so Jiang Le and other rescuers are equipped with the latest generation of “Xuelong 3”.
Xuelong 3 is currently the largest polar expedition ship in the Eastern country. It can continuously break through 1.2 meters of ice at a speed of 1.5 knots. It can be described as a very powerful ‘beast’.
