Chapter 1243

"The Greenland ice sheet is the largest ice sheet in the northern hemisphere, with a depth of 2530 km from north to South and a width of 1094 km from the widest place. Moreover, the thickness of the ice sheet is amazing, with the deepest depth of more than 3000 meters, covering a basin. That is to say, the thicker the ice sheet is, the thicker it is. There are two large ice caps on it. The place we are going to visit this time is near one of them.

"In the past few days, the scientific research team continued the good luck of the first day. The weather and the journey were very smooth, because the exploration time was in summer. The edge of the ice sheet had begun to melt, and the thickness of the ice in many places became very thin. There were ice cubes falling from time to time near the sea, falling into the sea. You should be very careful when walking on it, but you should walk further in, The more stable the ice sheet is there.

"We have also excavated some slate and fossils, and the geologists and biologists in the team are very happy. If they don't have to move on, they will have to study them on the spot. I think the configuration of this scientific research team is a bit strange, and I was worried at the beginning, but as time goes on, those retired soldiers are really like the soldiers Mr. Tam said that he was just honest and did what they should do, so I gradually relaxed and began to enjoy the adventure.

"After all, the reward is one of the reasons, but what really attracts me to join this operation is my love for this ice sheet, especially the exploration of its hidden secrets. It's like opening its mystery little by little. The most wonderful thing is that every time I feel that I know enough about it, but in the twinkling of an eye it reveals new things I'm surprised at the side of you, just like a lover who will never tire you.

"So I thought at that time that this expedition was really suitable for me. Of course, just in case, I found Dr. Baker. After all, the only person I knew about in the expedition was him. Although the Chinese couple was also good and gave me a good impression, as well as several other scientists, their people were good, but I only knew them after all It didn't take long, so of course I'd rather trust Dr. Baker.

"We agreed that we would advance and retreat together in the future, and at the same time we would pay attention to the people around us, mainly the retired soldiers, and exchange intelligence regularly. Beck thought that I thought too much, but he agreed. After all, there was no big mistake in being careful. Our team continued to advance in the future, but our good luck seemed to have been used up.

"The first thing that happened was the dogs. They suddenly started barking and moving forward. I had never encountered such a strange thing before. The Greenland sled dogs were domesticated by the ancestors of Inuit people. They lost their wolf nature completely and became very docile and hardworking. They could be in the wild even when they were more than ten degrees below zero Overnight?

"As we went deeper, the temperature began to drop, but it was far less than the Greenland dogs could bear. So the situation of the dogs at that time was unexpected to me. I had to let the expedition stop first, and then spent half a day constantly pacifying the dogs and preparing more abundant food for them. They were willing to move on, but I could see that they were not happy My heart doesn't want to do this, just because it's my order, and they are used to obeying human's orders.

"The dog business really surprised me, but to tell you the truth, I didn't pay much attention to it, because it's exploration. No matter how well prepared you are, there will always be some problems. This is the role of guide and leader. We solve all kinds of problems to ensure that the exploration can continue.

"Just after the dog group had a problem, geologists and biologists had nothing to do. When they were wandering around, they found a new fossil specimen on a piece of rock exposed outside. Then they quarreled about the age of that fossil. Geologists inferred from the perspective of rock formation that this thing came from the Archean period, but biologists hold different views Because from a biological point of view, the thing in the fossil has obviously evolved very well. Although it is a bit ugly, all kinds of organs look quite mature.

"Biologists think it's at least a Triassic creature, and he doesn't want to let go after holding fossils. He looks like he's obsessed, just like a painter who got the real work of Leonardo da Vinci. The others watched their quarrel, but Mr. Tam was still smiling. He only spoke to mediate for them when they were about to quarrel.

"It is finally agreed that this fossil belongs to the biologist, and the geologist has the priority to select the next fossil or rock sample, and the biologist will lend it to the geologist for a period of time after the study.

"Just then I solved the dog business, so we went on the road. But it's strange to say that when the biologist came back with the fossil, the dog group I managed to pacify had a restless mood again, so I asked the biologist to find a bag to seal the fossil, so that the dog group's mood was stable again.

"But then, we only walked a few kilometers, and suddenly the weather changed, which was the precursor of a snowstorm. After discussion, we didn't go on our way. We decided to camp here and wait for the snowstorm to pass. I took a few retired soldiers to check the tents, reinforced them with ice bricks, and built a fence for the dogs I wanted to build another ice wall for them, but by this time the blizzard was coming, so we had to let the dogs come with us."They began to become uneasy again, and this time I felt very clearly that they seemed to be afraid of something, but I didn't have time to think about it. The snowstorm had already arrived, and our ears were only left with the roaring wind and the sound of ice and snow slapping on the tents. I was very glad that they had been reinforced before, otherwise I really didn't know whether these tents could survive This snowstorm.

"Because we couldn't get a fire, we nibbled some biscuits at night. The dogs were barking all the time, and it was hard for me to fall asleep. I lay in a daze for about an hour. Suddenly I heard gunshots coming from outside, and I opened my eyes and found that the two retired soldiers in the same tent with me didn't know when they were gone. Only Dr. Baker and I were left in the tent Look down.
