C1646 Antarctic Expedition Team
"Fortunately, we made it in time." When Qin Guan returned, he went straight to the dock. It was a grand occasion. The expedition team from Han Country to Antarctica was about to set off!
In this world, Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. This continent was located at the southernmost tip of the earth, and it was a continent covered in ice and snow. Up until now, this continent was publicly owned and did not belong to any country. Any country could conduct scientific research in Antarctica.
However, due to various reasons, the Han Country did not establish a scientific research station in Antarctica. This time, the Han Country finally gathered a portion of the sea's power and decided to travel to Antarctica.
This was a major historical moment, and after Qin Guan returned, it was just in time for this feast, how could he not be excited? Ever since the explorer of Noodles Country, Columbia, discovered the new continent in 1492, his exploration of the world had attracted a lot of people's curiosity. Explorers, biologists, oceanists, geologists and so on were operating sailing ships. After wandering around the ocean, they finally found this continent located at the southernmost tip of the earth.
The middle-aged man here was covered in ice and snow, and underneath the ice and snow, there were many secrets. No humans had come here before, which meant that the secrets of Earth were still there and had not undergone any changes.
Therefore, many countries began to set up scientific research stations there. Due to the abnormally cold there, they set up summer research stations in Antarctica. During the warm summer, scientific research on Antarctica is the most convenient. The most suitable.
It was November, winter. Why did they set off now?
Because of the two hemispheres, the solar term was the opposite. The northern hemisphere was a world of ice and snow, the southern hemisphere was warm as spring, and the current Antarctic was in the summer, which was suitable for setting up scientific research stations in the past.
Right now, Han Country could only establish a summer research station to conduct scientific research within the time of extreme day. There were also some countries that had already started to build year-round inspection stations.
The establishment of this Antarctic exploration team started last month. Of course, this was not a sudden impulse. It was a planned mission long ago.
They had made preparations for more than a month, planning to build the first summer scientific research station in Han Country in the ancient wasteland of the Antarctic Peninsula, and to conduct a comprehensive study of the Antarctic multi-disciplinary field.
Of course, this required the support of the navy. Now, the navy sent out the "Sun Red 10" voyage scientific research vessel and navy "J121" to salvage the lifeboats and two 10,000-ton ships to carry out this mission. To travel far into the ocean, to the distant Antarctic!
Their mission was very important. They needed to set up a scientific research station in Antarctica, and they needed to officially start the scientific investigation of Antarctica. At the same time, such an important mission would be led by the Deputy Director of the National Oceanic Bureau.
As for the entire expedition team, it was made up of 50 people. They came from more than 20 units in more than 10 departments, and most of them were scientists and engineers.
Now, everyone was standing at the port, waiting for the final moment of their departure. When Qin Guan arrived, he only saw the flags fluttering, the drums playing a happy tune, and many high ranking officials of the navy sending them off.
"Luckily, we made it. General Zhao, this expedition is very important." Qin Guan said to Navy Commander, General Zhao, who was standing beside him.
General Zhao turned around and saw Qin Guan. He was delighted in his heart. "President Qin, you are finally here. Old Chen even said he wanted to thank you personally."
Thank me? Qin Guan was puzzled. What did I do?
"On our scientific research team, we equipped a super stallion helicopter." General Zhao said, "This helicopter was exchanged from Parthia. If it wasn't for you, we didn't have this helicopter. In the mission of building the scientific research station, this helicopter is too important! "
How do we establish the scientific research station? That requires a place to live, which is also the initial base. Now, these bases were actually just a few containers of equipment. They had already been placed on the Scientific Research Ship. However, how to use the Scientific Research Ship... If there was no other way... He could only start the snow tractor and move the equipment from the place where the ship was parked. Dragging them one by one was quite cumbersome.
And now? With the super stallion helicopter, they could directly hang them! After all, this was a heavy helicopter, and it could carry a weight of more than 5 tons!
This way, they could directly lift the equipment of the expedition team from the ship. This kind of efficiency was quite high.
A smile appeared on Qin Guan's face. "These are what I should do. If necessary, I can get a few more."
This was to support the scientific research of the motherland. As long as he had the ability, of course he would help.
"Report, Han Country Antarctic expedition team, please set sail!" At this moment, finally, the final request came.
"Yes, please do not let down the hope of the motherland and the people!" The leader said.
The sound of the drum band rang out on the pier and they began to send them off. Two 10,000-ton ships slowly sailed out of the pier. They sailed into the endless sea, and they were going to conquer another white world. They were the bravest people!
"They are all the bravest warriors" Qin Guan said with a sigh.
"Yeah, we only planned to send fifty people, but there are five to six hundred people who signed up. Everyone values this mission very much. This is our breakthrough in the Antarctic science exam." General Zhao said.
There was a lot of good news this year. In the Olympic Games, they had also achieved a breakthrough in the gold medal.
"That's right, General Zhao. When will our Island Reef in Southern Sea Region achieve a breakthrough in the gold medal?" Qin Guan said to General Zhao. Instantly, General Zhao's face turned ugly.1
Qin Guan's words were obviously filled with impatience.
Qin Guan knew very well that it wasn't easy to control the Southern Sea Region in Han Country. But at the same time, that part of the sea would become another source of trouble in the future. The surrounding countries were drooling over it, and the Y Country would occasionally use that part of the ocean to talk about things. Even the Cattle Country wanted to continue the glory of the Sun Never Sets Empire. They would use their aircraft carrier, which did not have any Shipboard aircraft, to do whatever they wanted.
This problem had to be solved from now on. The solution was, of course, to deploy the navy aircrafts as soon as possible!
It was not easy to deploy a fleet. It was not the time for the navy to attack, but to deploy a few aircrafts was a good idea.
