Chapter 772 (1/2)
”The cold wind is like a knife. It takes the earth as the cutting board and regards all living beings as fish. Thousands of miles of flying snow, the sky as a furnace, melting everything into silver ”
when he saw the flying snow in the sky, whistling into a white wall like fog in the storm, Jiang Chen could not help but think of the words of master Jin.
Good luck seemed to have run out, and on the coast of George V, the Pathfinder met a snowstorm from the polar regions.
However, the Pathfinder, which was originally designed for severe weather conditions, would not be disturbed by this level of storm
because he was not sure where the wind eye was, Captain Marshall directly put the wide icebreaker bow in the direction of the storm in order to prevent the Pathfinder from overturning, and then anchored to wait for the storm to pass.
Waiting is also waiting. The head of the investigation group simply gathered the delegation and the crew together. Fifty people set five tables and set up a hot pot under the canteen. Several Californians who couldn't eat chili peppers were so hot that they stuck out their tongues, causing laughter from others.
The wind blows outside, and the hot pot is on fire inside the house. It's really not pleasant.
Jiang Chen, who hasn't eaten hot pot for a long time, is so spicy for the first time and has eaten several bowls of rice. Seeing that the chairman of the board was so friendly to the people, the members of the delegation also let go a lot. There was a lovely little girl who was still feeding him food. No matter white, black or yellow, you can speak Chinese. We all had a good chat while eating meat and drinking.
But Garrett, they were stubborn and didn't drink.
As soldiers of ”sea lion” special forces, protecting the safety of Jiang Chen is their first priority. Don't say it's alcohol free. You have to change shifts with strict discipline. Although some of them love these soldiers, but Jiang Chen did not say much.
Discipline is discipline. For soldiers, discipline is above everything else.
since this is the team Gareth brought out, he has the final say. Jiang Chen is very clear that he, the chairman of the board, will only add chaos to others.
In this way, the storm continued until the next morning.
The Pathfinder pulled up her anchor chains, adjusted her course, and continued along George V's coast.
Inside the captain's room, Captain Marshall hung his cigar and frowned slightly at the lines on the map.
After a long time, he took off his cigar and looked at Jiang Chen, holding his arms and leaning aside. Just ten minutes ago, the chairman of the group found him and suddenly asked him to change his original login location and deploy the inspection station on the map.
”Why do you choose to build a research station here? Whether it's climate conditions or supply costs, it's not as good as Ross Bay.” Marshall asked, his cigar fingers pointing at the red circle on the map.
”But there are abundant combustible ice reservoirs in the nearby sea area.” Jiang Chen shrugged.
It is true that the seabed has abundant combustible ice reservoirs, but this is not the deeper reason.
This is the closest to the coordinates on the codebook, which is the real reason why he chose here. The reason why we didn't disclose the information before, but now we suddenly find captain Marshall is that we are worried that there are too many people on board and that the secret may be disclosed ahead of time.
”What a mess.” Marshall shook his head, sighed and looked at the first mate, ”the ship's speed has been reduced and the landing place has been changed”
although he is not satisfied with the chairman's nonsense, who wants him to be the chairman? Now he is paid twice as much as his peers. He can't complain more about the salary.
