Chapter 771 Arriving at the South Pole

? With a hull of 150 meters long and a broadside of more than 20 meters, two curled mechanical torsion arms are installed in the middle, and a helipad is equipped in the front section, and a polar version of the Mi-8 helicopter is mounted on it. ≯ On the side of the hull, there are three large characters written in white paint on a red background——

Pathfinder!

This is not only the name of this polar research ship, but also the name of the entire Antarctic research team.

There was no grand ceremony. After more than 20 members of the inspection team, including Jiang Chen, boarded the ship, the Pathfinder quietly left the port, crossed the equator, and headed south. It wasn't until all the crew boarded the ship that the crew members were surprised to find that they were on the same ship as the well-known Chairman of the Future Group.

"My name is Jiang Chen. Obviously, you all already know it. It's fine for you to work normally. I don't have any other intentions on the boat. I just take a boat with the wind to go to Antarctica."

As the ship sailed, the head of the inspection team held a brief introduction meeting, and all the crew members participated. Jiang Chen didn't do anything special, and made a brief self-introduction at the meeting. After finishing his sentence, he turned around and returned to his room, leaving everyone in the cabin in shock.

After the meeting, the four surveying girls got together and went to the cafeteria for dinner.

On the way, the four girls quickly started gossiping.

"Hey, that... is he the real Jiang Chen?"

"The one on TV?"

"The chairman of Future People Group owns many large companies with a market value of hundreds of billions...but why is he on our ship?" A female recorder covered her mouth and widened her eyes in surprise.

"On the same boat with the chairman, oh my god, this, this is simply the unfolding of a Korean drama!" Another girl said with eyes glowing.

"Wake up, Qianqian, it's time to take your medicine." The best friend standing next to her solemnly handed the lunch box in front of her.

"Damn it! Go to hell!" The girl called Qianqian blushed and slapped her girlfriend vigorously.

...

The distance from the equator to the South Pole is close to 10,000 kilometers, and with the Pathfinder's maximum voyage of 18 knots, the trip will take about two weeks.

Only then did Jiang Chen realize what a wrong decision it was not to take Ayesha with him.

With Aisha by his side, at least he doesn't have to face lonely and boring nights. Unlike now, his only pleasure all day is to lie in the bedroom with the phantom helmet on, and play online games with the ifi of the quantum communication satellite.

The number of female creatures on the entire research ship is pitifully small. First of all, the soldiers of the Star Ring Trade are all men, and secondly, among the scientific researchers born in engineering, basically all of them are men. The only four female researchers were quite interesting to him, but Jiang Chen was not interested in exchanging feelings with them.

Playing online games along the way, blowing the sea breeze, the time passed quickly.

Although he had an administrator account, Jiang Chen didn't use it. He just registered a wretched archer and started playing from level 1. Have to say, this game is quite fun. Especially when someone is pretending to be aggressive in front of him, he secretly cheats and pulls out an enchanted arrow to kill him instantly.

This feeling is simply sour.

After playing for more than two weeks, I met a few interesting netizens, but Jiang Chen never revealed his identity. When the Pathfinder approached Antarctica, he probably put the game aside and had no chance to touch it.

In the last three days, the temperature began to gradually cool down, and when ice floes began to be seen on the water, the Pathfinder expedition was already very close to Antarctica. Even with Jiang Chen's right physique, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he honestly put on thick winter clothes.

These winter clothes are all made by the clothing factory in the Sixth Street District. They look similar to down jackets, but they are stronger than down jackets. The warming wire is sandwiched in the sponge-like cotton block, and the temperature can be adjusted through the touch screen on the bowl. When it was time to wear clothes, those scientific researchers couldn't put it down, and they couldn't wait to change them on the spot.

Every time I go to the polar scientific research is a nightmare, I can't wait to freeze my nose when I have a runny nose, no matter which country's research station I go to. But with this cold-proof clothing, although the snot will still be frozen, at least the body is much more comfortable.

Fortunately, there were no difficult glaciers encountered along the way,

Pathfinder bypassed Scott Island, sailed smoothly into the Ross Sea, and headed to Hallett Station in the United States for simple resupply. Logically speaking, these research stations do not sell supplies to the outside world in principle, but there are always exceptions.

Captain Marshall Keller is obviously not the first time to run to the South Pole, he is very familiar with the situation here.

"Here, it is an unwritten rule to help each other. The sea is easy to freeze, and anyone may encounter the situation that the supply ship is late. If you have extra supplies on hand, selling them to others is equivalent to saving other people's lives. Of course, the price It might be a little more expensive."

After finishing the supplies, an American wrapped as thick as a polar bear lay on the side of the railing and said hello to the people on board.

"Hey guys, where did you get your clothes? I mean... isn't it really cold in such thin clothes?"

When he shouted this sentence, he used the accent of Ohio. It happened that there was an immigrant who was originally from Ohio in Jiang Chen's inspection team, so he shouted with a smile.

"Haha! Don't say it's cold, wearing this thing is like wearing an air conditioner!"

While speaking, the guy from Ohio flaunted the logo on his chest, fearing that the fellow villagers would not be able to see the brand of his clothes clearly.

I saw the five characters of "Future People Light Industry" printed on it.

Well, he ordered the garment factory in the Sixth Street District to type these five big characters. However, this so-called future human light industry is still in the conceptual stage, and Jiang Chen has been hesitating whether to enter the less lucrative light industry field.

The man standing at the Hallett Research Station smacked his lips, looking at the clothes on the Xinguo delegation, his eyes were full of envy.

Although he can't read Chinese characters, I'm afraid there is no American who can't recognize the three big characters [Future Man]. do not know? Turn on your phone and you'll know it. Future Man 1.o has a terrifying market share among smartphones, and Future Man has almost become synonymous with high technology.

Envy is envy, this thing cannot be envied.

Watching the Pathfinder sail away, he shook his head, moved his legs buried in the snow, and walked towards the cabin.

If it is an expedition to the pole, most tourists will choose Ross Sea as the 6th point of landing. Because this is the southernmost sea area that ships can reach on the earth, and it is also the traditional route for humans to reach the Antarctic 6 and go to the South Pole by ship.

However, Jiang Chen and the others did not intend to challenge the extremes of the world, but to explore the treasures of the Third Reich. So after completing the resupply, the Pathfinder sailed directly out of the Ross Sea, along the George V coast, and headed towards Wilkes Land...

However, what everyone didn't know was that not long after they left the Hallett Research Station, a man wrapped in a thick down jacket walked to the back of the Research Station and took out a satellite phone.

The lips under the shadow spit out a curl of white mist.

"They've arrived..."
