Chapter 773 Icebreaker Landing

8days ago Celebrity fiction 13
The cold wind is like a knife, using the earth as the chopping board, and treating sentient beings as fish.Flying snow thousands of miles away, the sky is used as a furnace, and all things are dissolved into silver...

When Jiang Chen couldn't help but think of Mr. Jin's words when he saw the snowflakes flying all over the sky, whistling into white walls in the storm.

Good luck seemed to run out, and next to George V coast, Pathfinder encountered a blizzard storm from the polar regions.

The ice cubes as big as beans hit the inspection boat, but the Pathfinder, which was originally designed for harsh climates, wouldn't it be ruined by a storm of this level?

Because he was not sure where the wind eye was, Captain Marshall directly swung the head of the wide icebreaker in the direction the storm was blowing, and then lowered the anchor to wait for the storm to pass.

Waiting and waiting, the head of the inspection team simply gathered the inspection team and the crew. About fifty people set up five tables and set up hot pot in the cafeteria.

Several Californians who couldn't eat chili peppers were so spicy that they stuck out their tongues, which attracted the laughter of others.

There was a storm outside and hot pot was ticking inside the house. This feeling was really exciting.

Jiang Chen, who hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time, was so spicy that it was so refreshing for the first time. He ate several bowls of rice in a row.

Seeing the chairman so friendly, the members of the inspection team also let go, and there was a very cute little girl who was still giving him some food.

No matter white, black, yellow, they can speak Chinese.

Everyone was having a good time eating meat and drinking.

But Garrett and the others were stubborn and did not drink.

As soldiers of the Sea Lion Special Forces, protecting Jiang Chen's safety is their top priority.

Not to mention that you don’t drink too much, you have to change shifts disciplinedly when eating.

Although he felt sorry for these soldiers, Jiang Chen didn't say much.

Discipline is discipline, and for soldiers, discipline is above everything else.

Since this is the team led by Garett, everything is up to him.Jiang Chen knew very well that as the chairman, he would just make trouble for others.

In this way, the storm continued until the early morning of the next day.

Pathfinder put away the anchor chain, adjusted his course, and continued along the coast of George V.

……

Inside the captain's room, Captain Marshall was hanging a cigar and frowned slightly as he looked at the marking position on the map.

After a while, he took off his cigar and turned his inquiring eyes to Jiang Chen holding his arms and leaning against him.

Just ten minutes ago, the group's chairman found him and suddenly asked him to change his original login location and deploy the inspection station at this location on the map.

Why choose to build an inspection station here?Whether it is climatic conditions or replenishment costs, this place is far inferior to Rose Bay.Marshall asked, two fingers holding the cigar dotted the red circle on the map.

But the nearby waters have abundant combustible ice reservoirs.Jiang Chen shrugged.

It is true that the seabed has abundant combustible ice reservoirs, but this is not a deeper reason.

The closest to the coordinates on the password book is the real reason why he chose this place.

The reason why I didn't disclose the news before and I suddenly found Captain Marshall is mainly because I am worried that there are too many people on the ship and may leak the information in advance.

Too messy.Marshall shook his head, sighed, looked at the first mate, slowed down the ship, and changed his login!

Although he is not satisfied with the chairman's will, who wants him to be the chairman?The salary he is now receiving is twice that of his peers. He can't say more about this salary alone.

In this way, the Pathfinder turned a corner on the original route and diverted toward the hinterland of Cape Goodinav.

There is thick ice on the sea surface, but it is not difficult for polar investigation ships with icebreaking functions.

The wide bow of the ship hit the thick ice surface directly, and then used its tonnage of thousands of tons to crush the ice surface directly.

Just like a road mill sailing in a glacier, it has crushed a blue path on the frozen sea.

Many members of the inspection team stood on the bow and took out their cell phones to take photos.

Although it is not the first time some of them have come to the Pole, there are not many opportunities for them to see the icebreaker and icebreaker, and this is the first time many of them have seen it with their own eyes.

Jiang Chen was also standing at the bow of the boat.

This was the first time he had seen how an icebreaker worked.

He had always thought that the icebreaker was cut by the bow, but he did not expect that the icebreaker was pressing by its own weight.

Fortunately, we didn’t encounter the thick ice that could not be pressed, and the explosives we brought were no longer useful, which was the best.Standing in the cabin with air conditioning on, Captain Marshall wiped the sweat off his face and looked at Jiang Chen who was pushing the door in. Close the door quickly, my sweat was almost frozen!

Jiang Chen smiled friendly, immediately closed the door behind him, hung his cold clothes next to the door, and walked to his side.

How about it?In your experience, is this coast suitable for deploying inspection stations?

The terrain is pretty good, but it may be a bit troublesome to replenish supplies in the future.Marshall glanced at the ice outside the window, picked up a ballpoint pen and drew a line on the map. To ensure that it would not be frozen here, we had to cut out a triangle here and then push it to the sea... I suggest to push it out.If it blows it up directly, the international environmental protection organization may cause trouble for us.

You can do whatever you want, and I believe in your skills.Jiang Chen smiled.

Marshall grinned and took the cigar back into his mouth.

Leave it to me.

……

In the middle of Cape Goodinav, on the sea frozen by an ice shelf, Pathfinder pressed an outward opening along a triangle.

Several crew members in cold-proof clothes jumped agilely on the triangle ice shelf and chiseled about ten piles on the outer edge of the ice shelf with long nails.

The graphene cable was thrown off the ship, and the crew quickly tied the ropes on the nails, and then returned to the ship.

These cables are tied to the robotic arms of the polar inspection ship, which is the strongest part of the entire ship.

Everything was ready, Marshall, who was holding a cigar in his arms, began to increase his horsepower and drove the boat outward.

The graphene cable gradually tightened and made a creaking sound.

At this time, Jiang Chen was surprised to find that the ice surface of several square kilometers was dragged a little loose by this small investigation ship!

Don’t look at the scary area of ​​the ice, we just need to give it an acceleration and it will run outward by itself.Marshall said with a smile and pointed out the window. The cables are really strong, and they are wire ropes than we used before. The thing is too tough. It is not only easy to break, but also easy to hurt one's own people.

Graphene material.

Yeah?Technology is such a magical thing.Marshall grinned.

The ice outside the window slowly moved, and cheers from the crew came from the bow of the boat.

The members of the inspection team have returned to the cabin, and the Pathfinder is about to land. It is time for them to go back and pack their luggage.
