Five people were sitting around, happily enjoying this unique and sumptuous dinner!
We ate grilled seal meat and drank divine brew!
"Not bad, this seal meat tastes a bit like beef!" Li Youjiang said incoherently while chewing on the barbecue.
"To be more precise, it tastes like beef liver!" Ye Shanhe, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but corrected.
Xia Haoran happily took a sip of the fairy brew and said with a smile: "Seal is flat in nature and salty in taste. It enters the meridians of the liver and kidneys and has the effect of nourishing yin and yang and nourishing the kidneys, which is what we usually call nourishing yin and strengthening yang! Moreover,
The protein content in seal meat is 22%-24%. The amino acids contained in the protein, especially the essential amino acids, are also very high. Therefore, the appearance of seal meat is black and red, and the iron content is higher than other meats. This is why seal meat
Meat is unique.”
"Why are you two hanging around? Hurry up and eat! If you miss this village, you won't have this shop." Li Youjiang glanced at the two people at the table and said, "But we will let this matter go after we finish eating."
I forgot, hunting seals is illegal!"
"Yes, Chief!" The two of them responded, and then they joined in the eating and drinking.
Eating barbecue and drinking fine wine is very common in China, but at the Kunlun Station in Antarctica, technicians like them have never even thought about it, let alone doing it.
and!
Not to mention the fine wine we drank, there were large pieces of golden and oily barbecued meat in front of us. That was freshly caught and roasted seal meat!
You know, let alone the two rising stars who have just embarked on Antarctic scientific expeditions, even those senior scientific expedition seniors who have gone to Antarctica countless times in their lives may not have eaten a bite of seal meat.
"By the way, Brother Ye and Brother Li, what are the next arrangements?" Xia Haoran raised the wine bottle with one hand and touched it to the two of them respectively, and couldn't help but ask aloud.
Hearing Xia Haoran's words, Ye Shanhe and Li Youjiang looked at each other and said in a deep voice: "According to what my brother said, the recovery cycle of the five of them may be three days, five days, ten days and a half... In this way,
We can't stay here and wait, after all, we all have more important things to do. So, we stayed at Kunlun Station for two days, and then took them back to China for recuperation."
"As for you two," Ye Shanhe glanced at the faces of Wang Jun and Shui Jinsong and said, "With only the two of you left, it is obviously inappropriate to continue to stay at Kunlun Station. You have two choices, either
Go to Zhongshan Station to continue your unfinished scientific research work; or follow us back to China!"
"Just follow Brother Ye's arrangement!" Li Youjiang nodded and said, "You two don't have to answer in a hurry. You can tell us after you think about it."
"Yes, Chief!"
…
after dinner.
Xia Haoran looked at Ye Shanhe, smiled slightly and said, "How about going out for a walk? Take a walk after dinner?"
Ye Shanhe nodded excitedly, then turned to look at Li Youjiang next to him.
"You go ahead, I'd better forget it." Li Youjiang shook his head gently and said with a wry smile on his face: "I have to catch up on a good night's sleep tonight. I haven't rested for more than 20 hours in a row. My body really can't bear it anymore."
." After saying that, he stretched himself.
"Okay, brother Li, have a good rest!" Ye Shanhe patted Li Youjiang on the shoulder, then turned to Wang Jun and Shui Jinsong and said, "Arrange a room for General Li to rest. Also, the people in the ward
Five people, you don’t have to worry about it, and don’t bother them!”
"Yes, Chief!"
…
In a world covered in silver, the night is actually not much different from the day.
Xia Haoran and Ye Shanhe stepped on the thick snow, one foot at a time, making bursts of "squeaking" sounds, leaving a long string of footprints on the spot. But soon, this string of footprints was covered again.
Covered in heavy snow, it was as if nothing had happened.
"How's it going? Can you still hold on?" Xia Haoran looked at Ye Shanhe beside him and couldn't help but ask aloud.
During the wintering season in the Antarctic Dome A area, the temperature is usually very low, especially at night.
"It's okay, I can still hold on!" Ye Shanhe said in a trembling voice, shaking his pale cheeks.
"Uh..." Xia Haoran touched his nose, then took out a jade pendant and threw it to the other party, saying, "Brother Ye, you can't last long like this."
Ye Shanhe was not pretentious at all. He took the pendant and began to confess his love with blood. He knew that in this environment of 30 to 40 degrees below zero, with his cultivation at the peak of the middle heaven level, he could indeed persist for a while.
However, once the energy in the body is exhausted, it will be a complete tragedy.
Not knowing how far they had gone, Xia Haoran and Ye Shanhe finally stopped.
"Just here!" Xia Haoran looked around and said with a smile: "Although the night here is not much different from the daytime, the line of sight at night is still affected to a certain extent, making it difficult to appreciate the beautiful scenery farther away."
"That's right! Let's go out to see the scenery tomorrow." After Ye Shanhe finished speaking, he squatted down and entered the cultivation state directly.
Seeing Ye Shanhe's anxious look, Xia Haoran couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
However, I feel relieved when I think about it.
The difference with Xia Haoran is that Ye Shanhe is in charge of the Special Service Section of the Ninth Bureau of China. Although he is not as busy as a national leader, the country is so big that there are so many things that he needs to personally review and handle every day?
After finishing the daily work at hand every day, Ye Shanhe still has his wife, children and parents, and he still has a family to take care of. Therefore, his cultivation level today is all based on the little time he squeezed out to practice.
not to mention.
In today's Dharma-ending era, the spiritual energy is extremely thin, let alone living in a bustling metropolis. Compared with the kind of city that is mixed with noise, various exhaust fumes, and polluted air, the Antarctic ice dome in front of you is undoubtedly a treasure land for spiritual practice.
That's why Ye Shanhe is so anxious and unbearable!
When Ye Shanhe entered into deep practice, Xia Haoran turned around and walked in another direction. With the defensive pendant, he didn't need to worry about the other party's safety. Moreover, even if there was any emergency, he would
Be able to learn and respond as soon as possible.
…
The birds in thousands of mountains have disappeared, and the traces of people in thousands of paths have been wiped out.
This poem is perfect to describe the Antarctic Dome A region.
Not knowing how far he had gone, Xia Haoran squatted on the snow and soon entered a state of meditation like an old monk. However, his consciousness came out quietly and continued to move towards the glacier beneath him.
Penetrate deeply.
Currently, countries all over the world are scrambling to study the secrets contained in deep ice cores. As Shui Jinsong said, ice core drilling and deciphering the secrets contained in ice cores have implications for the past, present, and future.
It is of great research value.
However
.
The development of anything is a double-edged sword.
Just like human beings exploring the universe and the stars, with the increasing development of scientific and technological civilization, human exploration of space has become more frequent and active in recent years.
This seems to be no problem!
Because human beings want to develop and progress, the small earth can no longer meet the pace of human progress. Therefore, conquering the stars and seas and exploring the mysterious and unknown stars have suddenly become the favorite of scientists from all over the world.
However, in this process, who can guarantee that if humans frequently release signals into space, will this attract the arrival of some aliens, thus bringing a devastating disaster to human civilization on earth?
after all!
In the vast universe, there are not only living planets but the earth!
It has not been discovered yet, which only means that the technological level of human beings today is not strong enough, and they do not have the strength to conquer the stars and the sea, that's all!
By the same token, the process of deciphering ice cores has indeed brought convenience to human technological life; however, who knows whether doing so will bring disaster and disaster to humans on earth?
Because no one knows what happened to the earth tens of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of years ago; and no one knows what huge secrets are hidden in these deep ice cores.
a long time.
Xia Haoran reluctantly withdrew his spiritual consciousness and stopped exploring the glacier. Because he found that the further down he went, the more difficult it became for his spiritual consciousness to penetrate the ice; and, the further down he went, the ice began to have
There is a very obvious color change.
From the white or transparent surface, it starts to turn into light blue, dark blue...
This shows what?
The deeper you go down, the denser the deeper ice becomes, because their molecular structure has undergone qualitative changes.
Such changes can completely prove that these deep-seated ices have remained unchanged for at least tens of millions of years, and after years of pressure and precipitation, their density and hardness have become comparable to those of hard metal alloys.
Already.
In other words, the darker the deep ice, they can no longer simply be said to be a kind of ice, but a kind of "ice fossil" or "ice metal"!
In the world of cultivation, such extremely compressed and precipitated ten thousand-year ice is a rare weapon-refining material.
even.
Some great practitioners use great supernatural powers to compress and refine ten thousand-year ice as much as possible, and obtain ten-thousand-year ice marrow, or "divine ice marrow", which is a treasure for refining artifacts. According to legend, even in the God Realm,
The divine ice marrow is also an existence that can be encountered but cannot be sought!
"It seems that the cultivation level is still not enough!"
Looking at the starry sky, Xia Haoran couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
With his cultivation, he could be said to be invincible across the entire earth. But even the deep ice under his feet made him feel a faint sense of extreme fear and uneasiness at this moment.
Xia Haoran can guess a thing or two about this. Let alone what secrets are hidden in the thousands-meter-thick ice cap under his feet, he is not the only one who knows the extreme coldness in the deep ice.
A cultivator in the early stages of Qiao can contend.
Thinking of this, Xia Haoran couldn't help but shook his head, gradually calmed down, and soon entered a state of cultivation.
At this time, on the vast white ice plateau, the endless night meets the starry sky, which is vast and quiet.
