Instead of rushing to answer the question, he looked deeply at Songjia, then pointed to the wine bottle on the table and said, "can I have another drink?"
"Help yourself."
Sachus picked up the bottle again. He didn't pour it into the glass this time. Instead, he drank the remaining half of the bottle in one breath. It seems that only by drinking can he have the courage to tell the story of that year.
"I'm a native of Greenland, half Inuit and half Danish, so I would go back to my father's tribe every year for a period of time, and I used to hunt and fish with them. Many Inuit people live on the ice, so they are very good at dealing with the bad weather and the environment on the ice. I didn't like reading at that time, but I didn't like reading I'm interested in things like hunting.
"Although I was not very good at shooting when I was young, I learned a lot of skills to survive on the ice with the old hunters in the tribe. In addition, I learned a little English, because I once acted as a guide for a group of photographers who took pictures of polar bears. I didn't pay attention at that time. I just wanted to earn some extra money, but I didn't expect that many of them would come to Greenland after they went back My friends recommended me. At that time, I was over 20 years old and was thinking about what to do, so I naturally joined the industry.
"In other people's eyes, this job is hard and dangerous, but I like to find stimulation by nature. This job is quite suitable for me. Soon I became famous in this field, and more and more people came to find me," said sachus, who was immersed in memories. "Once, after I came back from leading a tour group to see seals, Dr. Baker found me.
"Oh, at that time, I knew him for more than a year. He came to Greenland to travel and liked it, so he found a way to settle down here. He opened a clinic to do his old business, but his business was not very good. So he and his friends set up an explorer Club to introduce people to explore here, and then he helped them to take care of their accommodation and hire guides. So did we It started to intersect at that time.
"He found my place that day and said that he needed an excellent professional guide for a highly paid but dangerous job. He asked me if I was interested. At that time, I was short of money, and the tour group was a little boring. The adventure gene in my body began to move again, so he asked him to go on.
"Beck said that a man named Tam got the news that there was an ancient relic under the ice sheet somewhere in Greenland. The person who found it first could not only become famous immediately, but also the discovery in it might even rewrite the known human history, so he was going to set up a scientific research team.
"To tell you the truth, I'm skeptical about things like ancient relics, because the government has already started such a thing, let alone the US military base on the island, so nothing can be concealed from them. But as Beck said, the opposite side is paid a lot. This trip can basically top my income for a year, and it sounds better than taking a sightseeing group It's so much more interesting, so I agreed, which is the most regretful thing in my life. "
"On the day of departure, I saw Dr. Baker in the expedition. I was surprised because he was a psychologist, not the kind of doctor who could treat people's physical diseases. Although he said that he had learned some knowledge about first aid and bandaging, but You know, if you really want to take a doctor on an expedition, there are so many better options.
"So out of professional ethics, I found Mr. Tam and told him my doubts. He was a very nice man, he looked very easygoing and always had a high interest. The only problem was that he liked to eat sweets. During the exploration, he took several bags of sugar with him, one bag a day, and his mouth hardly took a rest. Mr. Tam told me that he knew Beck What is it to do? Taking a psychologist is mainly because there are many scientists in the team.
It's the first time for many people to explore such a dangerous place. He is worried that there will be psychological problems for some team members at that time. To be honest, this reason is far fetched, but he is the one who pays money. I need to explain the situation to the employer, but the final decision is still made by the employer. He said take Dr. Baker, then we will take Dr. Baker .
"In a word, when we were ready, we set out. There were 22 people in the expedition, including a geologist and his assistant, an archaeologist, a biologist, a meteorologist, and two theologians. They were a couple from China," he said. He looked at Zhang Heng with some doubts. "Are you Chinese, too ? Do you have anything to do with the Chinese couple? "
However, Zhang Heng didn't answer his question, just motioned him to go on.
"I have a deep impression on the Chinese, because they are both polite, but the others, ha ha Apart from the people I mentioned above, the rest of the people don't seem to be good. Although they are covering up all the way, I can see that many of them have served in the army and have weapons with them. For a time, they made me want to retreat. The place we are going to is no man's land. It is very likely that we will not meet anyone along the way, even if we are worried There is no need to take so many people to protect the animals on the road.
"But Mr. Tam said that these people were just hired by him to help the scientists, responsible for road exploration, luggage and equipment and other chores. The reason why he recruited veterans was that they had better field survival skills. How can I say that the expedition was on the way, and it was not appropriate for me to withdraw now, so we went to the East China Sea by boat The landing point on the coast, where landing can save about a third of the distance than starting inland."We have enough food on board for everyone for two months, as well as some scientific research and drilling equipment, cameras, satellite phones, winter suits, tents and gas tanks. We don't have to worry about water supply, because we can boil snow water directly. In addition, we bring dogs and sleds to transport supplies."
"The captain of that ship is also my old friend. He took us to the appointed place and left. He promised that as soon as we called them by satellite, we would arrive at the designated place to pick us up. So far, everything is going well. The weather was fine that day. It was sunny and almost windless. We took a picture together Shadow. "
