Where is the end of the world
Different people have different worlds, and the answers will naturally not be the same.
In the eyes of the gatekeeper of the old special steel factory cinema when she was a child, the end of the world was the provincial capital, because that was the furthest place she had ever been to in her life.
In this life, no matter how many struggles one has experienced, one should never forget poetry and the distance.
Li Muye asked Margaret the same question, and her answer was Antarctica.
Smart people don't necessarily know everything, but they must know the answer you want.
Li Muye was satisfied with her answer, and it seemed that it was time for her to leave Vientiane Shrine.
When Evil came here last time, there were two imperial power allies with him. The reason why Li Muye thought of Margaret was because she probably had a map or secret method to enter the Antarctic dungeon.
Antarctica is located at the southernmost tip of the earth, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. It is the continent with the highest geographic latitude in the world. It is also called the "seventh continent" because it is the last continent reached by humans.
The White Dragon crossed the Tasman Sea into the Southern Ocean, and finally docked at the natural cliff pier near the Ross Islands in Snail Bay.
The team members include Li Muye, Margaret, Bai Qi and Evil, plus a Gambia. The crew on the ship set up the passage to the shore, first transported all-terrain transportation equipment and fuel to the shore in batches, and loaded various dehydrated foods enough for the team to eat for two years on the all-terrain vehicle.
There are only five people in the whole team, but they have fully prepared the materials for the six big cars. Three all-terrain vehicles, pulling three tractors. The six vehicles are fully loaded, with power-generating lighting equipment, electronic navigation equipment, and all-weather weapons and equipment.
The summer in Antarctica is also called the warm season, and the winter is also called the cold season. In the warm season, the temperature in the coastal zone is around minus 20 degrees.
Gambia, who was born near the equator in Africa, had never seen such a cold. The big fat man with a jujube-cored head and a water tank groaned from the moment he came out of the cabin.
Margaret didn't pay much attention to Li Muye along the way. She still had a grudge about the fact that Xiaoye was brought to the grassland last time and used her as a bait. Although she learned something from Sun Shaoling, it was obviously not enough to calm her anger caused by Li Muye's teasing.
When I got off the boat, I saw that the Baixia Waterfall was frozen above the cliff, as if time had been frozen. The whole world is quiet, the pure and fresh air does not belong to this world, and even the blue sky makes people inexplicably excited. Marguerite's anger suddenly dissipated a lot.
Marguerite wore a cold-proof suit made of aerospace materials. This multilayer material made by nanotechnology looks light and thin, but in fact it has excellent cold resistance. It's just that the development cost is too high, and it is definitely not affordable for ordinary people. Margaret knew that she was going to enter the Antarctic hinterland with Li Muye, so she specifically asked a friend to airlift one piece from North America.
Li Muye's clothes are much simpler. The leather jacket is ordinary, and the clothes inside are also ordinary warm materials. For Brother Xiaoye, who has been able to adjust his body temperature by himself and is almost invaded by the cold and heat, the extreme cold here is just relatively exhausting. As long as Yuan Qi is abundant, no matter how cold the environment is, it does not constitute confusion.
Neither Baiqi nor Eilai had such a realm, and the two little brothers embarked on the journey fully armed. Elai is responsible for driving the first all-terrain vehicle to the forefront based on the map provided by Margaret. Bai Qi rides in the same car with him and is responsible for chatting with him throughout the whole journey.
Li Muye and Margaret jointly drove the third car after the final cut.
This all-terrain vehicle is huge, with triangular tracks on both sides, made of expensive special materials, lightweight, strong, stable metal performance, low temperature and high temperature resistance, and can adapt to any extreme environment. The body is made of aerospace engineering materials, and the temperature insulation effect is surprisingly good. The volume is about the size of two large buses spliced together. The internal space is large. Even if it is loaded with a lot of food and daily necessities, there is still plenty of space as a living area. use.
In the living area, there are beds, sofas, and even a washing device that automatically collects ice and snow and heats it.
Such a good thing is naturally expensive. Brother Ono definitely couldn't get the money. Bailong also spent a huge amount of US$30 million to purchase a car from the relevant departments of the Russian authorities. Only these six all-terrain vehicles cost the White Dragon Great Bodhisattva 180 million U.S. dollars.
Li Muye has always been an avid cross-country fan, and has long been accustomed to this life with the road under his feet and the poetry in the distance. With Margaret, a white beauty with a strange belly, the mood along the way is like a vacation.
Xiao Cunde said that Antarctica is a continent surrounded by oceans. From the edge to the highest point of the fixed point, it is a steamed bun. Therefore, the downward wind blows all year round on the coast of the ice sheet. The temperature in the hinterland of the ice sheet is very low. The temperature is minus 58.5 degrees, which is the coldest place on earth.
All the way deep, every day I head against the wind. The first section of the road is traveling on the ice sheet, because it is necessary to always pay attention to the movement of the ice sheet and beware of collapse and fall, so the speed cannot be too fast.
A worker must first sharpen his tools if he wants to do his job well. Well-prepared and well-equipped, made this seemingly talkative journey much easier. Except for the first occasional small twists and turns, there are no major problems with the entire thousands of kilometers of ice cap area. Margaret even adopted a wounded emperor penguin leisurely.
It was not until leaving the ice sheet and entering the inland area of Antarctica that it finally encountered the first test.
A sudden blizzard suddenly reduced the visibility of the future, and the team had to stop to find a safe area to avoid the wind and snow. I thought that the blizzard would pass as soon as it blew, but what Li Muye and others did not expect was that the blizzard had blown for three days and three nights in one breath.
The romantic and leisure mood during the journey disappeared suddenly.
In this low temperature and extreme cold environment, the heating equipment dare not stop operating for a while. And no matter how advanced the equipment is, there will be times when labor is needed. Marguerite caught a cold during the process of refueling, which gave face to the harsh weather in Antarctica and became sick.
"My dear, we have been trapped by the storm for four days and we have run out of food and fuel. It's too cold, minus 70 degrees, and we can't walk anymore. I hope you can get some comfort, my death will not be there. Too much pain, but my career has made the world a whole new look.” This is the last love letter written by British Antarctic explorer Robert Scott to his wife in 1912 before his death.
Marguerite was reciting it with tears in her eyes, as if she was imagining that she was dying. Of course Li Muye knew that she was groaning without illness, and the mere cold and cold would not cause her confusion. One hundred and one years have passed, and this lack of romance but magnificent and startling love story can still touch her heart.
On the fourth day, Eilai and Baiqi’s cars suddenly received a weak radio signal, which later proved to be from a certain expedition.
Li Muye didn't intend to help others in the first place. Helping others in such a ghostly place and ghostly weather not only tested his own kindness and ability, but also a test of the rescued. And human nature can't help being tested. But Marguerite can't stand the soft and hard bubble. Why is there no difference between white and yellow races in this life forbidden zone, only the difference between humans and penguins and seals. Life is precious. Since God let us receive a distress signal, we shouldn't Seeing death and not saving.
The wind and snow weakened slightly, and there was a visibility of three to five meters in front of him. According to the signal source direction displayed by the signal receiving device, Li Muye led a five-person expedition team to find another expedition team composed of six white men at the foot of a high slope...
