Chapter 239： Antarctica

For a distance of more than 300,000 kilometers, Lin Chen teleported a total of four times, stopping three times in the middle, and each time he stayed at a hidden island.

These three hidden islands, except for the first one which is a desert island with a radius of one kilometer and no life, the other two islands are living islands, and their area is larger than one.

Especially the third, its island area is close to 100,000 square kilometers.

The large area is not the characteristic of the third island. The main characteristic of the third island is its flat terrain and fertile land.

The entire island has an irregular quadrilateral shape, and there are towering cloud peaks around the island. It is these peaks that block the violent cold currents and typhoons on the sea, making the island’s climate very pleasant and abundant in rain. .

Lin Chen fell in love with this island as soon as he saw it. The reason why he likes this island is nothing but because it is suitable for land reclamation and farming.

An island with an area of ​​nearly 100,000 square kilometers, even if only half of it is reclaimed, there are 70 to 80 million acres of fertile land. Coupled with the climate on this island, it is certainly no problem to grow rice twice a year.

Planting high-yield rice seeds developed by the Linchen Research Institute, this island alone may be able to provide Lin Chen with more than 200 million tons of rice a year, which is not a small amount.

Unfortunately, time is too late now, and it’s too remote here. It’s too expensive to develop here, so let’s talk about it later if there is a chance.

Lin Chen did not forget his purpose of coming to the Antarctic this time. He came to accept the inheritance of Shennong Star, not to open up wasteland and farm.

When Lin Chen's last teleportation was over, what caught his eyes was the white snow and the endless glacier.

"Oh, this Antarctica is really cold."

The first impression of Antarctica for Lin Chen is cold. Although he is not afraid of cold, he can clearly feel the cold here.

The South Pole of this planet has a larger area than the South Pole on Earth, but correspondingly, the temperature here is much lower than that of the South Pole on Earth.

The average temperature of Antarctica on the earth is around minus 25 degrees, but the average temperature here is around minus 75 degrees. If ordinary people come here, even if they have good defensive measures, they cannot withstand the low temperature here.

However, even at such low temperatures, human governments have established dozens of research stations in Antarctica. The purpose of these research stations is to study climate change in Antarctica and to examine the resources here.

Don’t look at the Antarctica is full of white snow and endless glaciers, and the climate is terribly cold, but the various mineral resources here are extremely rich.

There are hundreds of mineral resources that have been proven by mankind, among them, coal, oil, natural gas, manganese, iron, copper, etc., as well as many rare earth resources.

These proven mineral resources are a huge treasure house for mankind. If it weren’t for the harsh climate here, governments would have developed Antarctica on a large scale.

In addition to these mineral resources, Antarctica is also extremely rich in freshwater resources. The freshwater stored in Antarctica alone accounts for more than 70% of the total freshwater reserves of mankind.

From this figure, we can see how abundant the fresh water in Antarctica is, but these fresh water exists in the form of glaciers, and it is difficult for humans to develop and utilize it.

There are also abundant fishery resources in the waters near Antarctica. Apart from anything else, the krill here alone can catch tens of billions of tons per year for humans, which can fully meet human demand for aquatic products.

These krills are also the food that other creatures in the Antarctic waters depend on for survival. It is also the krill that feeds the many seabed creatures here.

Every year, a large number of human fishing boats come to the nearby waters to catch krill.

Antarctica is not only the state with the highest altitude, but also the last piece of pure land for mankind.

Lin Chen appeared near the center of Antarctica. The climate here is even colder.

The climate of Antarctica is divided into cold season and warm season. The cold season is from April to October, and the warm season is from November to March of the following year.

It is mid-March, which means that Lin Chen has caught up with the end of the warm season in Antarctica. The warm season here will soon be over. Once the warm season is over, the temperature here will be even colder.

The climate of Antarctica is characterized by extreme cold, strong wind and dryness.

Needless to say, the lowest temperature recorded here has reached minus 165 degrees. The average maximum temperature is still more than minus 70 degrees. It is much colder than the Antarctic on earth.

There is also the gale here. The wind speed in the Antarctic on the earth is generally about mid-meter per second, but the wind speed here is all 40 or 50 meters per second, and the maximum wind speed here has reached a record of 150 meters per second.

Once such a strong wind hits, human beings will not even have the chance to escape, and will be blown away by the strong wind directly. As for where it blows, it depends on your luck. Whether you can survive or not depends on your luck. .

This is also the reason why Antarctica has only scientific research personnel dispatched by various countries, but no ordinary people. The main reason is that it is too dangerous here.

A careless person is in danger of death anytime and anywhere.

Here, it is not only the harsh natural environment that threatens the safety of human life, but also the living animals here.

The large carnivores in the sea are not to mention, the most terrifying on land is the Antarctic wolf.

The Antarctic wolf is extinct on the earth, but in this world, the Antarctic wolf is not only not extinct, but also a dominant over the continent of Antarctica.

On the Antarctic land, no creature can compete with Antarctic wolvesOnly they can compete with Antarctic wolves.

Antarctic wolves live together in populations. The small population only has hundreds of them, but the large population has more than tens of thousands.

Not to mention tens of thousands of such a huge pack of wolves, even the smallest pack of wolves can only escape for their lives once they encounter it.

In Antarctica, no creature is stupid enough to contend with Antarctic wolf.

Lin Chen knows very well about Antarctic wolf.

The reason why the Antarctic wolf became the overlord in Antarctica is because of the Shennong Star Mothership.

Because Shennong Star’s mothership has modified the genes of these Antarctic wolves, not only has their life span been extended, but their combat effectiveness is more than three times stronger than before.

The Shennong Star Mother ship did so to prevent the scientific research personnel of various governments from approaching the center of Antarctica, because the center area is where the Shennong Star Mother ship is located.

As soon as Lin Chen appeared, an unmanned aerial vehicle flew up to him and carried out a comprehensive scan of him. While scanning, the weapon on the unmanned aerial vehicle was aimed at him at all times. Once Lin Chen had any abnormalities, these weapons would fire without hesitation.

After Lin Chen passed the scan, the unmanned aerial vehicle immediately put away the weapon, landed in front of Lin Chen, and opened the warehouse door.

"Heirs, please enter the aircraft to the mothership!"

ask for collection, ask for recommendation, ask for monthly pass, thank you!
