The audience can guess the result. After all, they know the answer to the riddle, and it is not difficult to deduce it backwards.

On the fourth day of departure, Scott's crawler tractor was already in severe condition. In the severe cold environment, the oil injection system was completely pumped out, making it impossible to repair and refuel. The crawler tractor turned into a pile of scrap metal.

Later, the supplies on the tractor were transferred to the ponies.

In an extremely low temperature environment, ponies have poor cold tolerance and it is difficult to adapt to the harsh environment of the Antarctic plateau. Even when food and drinking water are sufficient, their physical strength cannot cope with sustained low temperatures and high loads.

of carriers.

The ponies fell one by one. In desperation, the members of the Scott expedition could only use manpower to drag their supplies in the wind and snow and arduously move forward on the ravine-filled ice sheet.

At the same time, Amundsen's expedition, which set off from Walvis Bay two months after Scott, had already far surpassed them and was heading for the Antarctic pole at a speed they could not imagine.

[Oh, there are still details like this]

[I’ve only heard of it before, but I didn’t expect it to be so complicated]

The audience already had a premonition when they heard this.

Bi Fang tugged on Goudan, who was trying to jump out, and continued to talk along the lines of thought.

Nature treats everyone equally, and the problems and difficulties faced by the Amundsen expedition were no less than those faced by the Scott expedition.

Frostbite on the skin and feet, reduced supplies, even the light reflected from the polar snow during the journey made it difficult to open the eyes.

These are all difficulties that Bi Fang himself has encountered, but because he has done a better job of protecting himself, apart from the physical weakness caused by not eating for a long time, there is not much damage.

But it was different for Amundsen a hundred years ago. The backward productivity corresponded to backward protection methods.

And speaking of adventurers, judging by the level of science and technology at the time, most of them were still empiricists. In terms of survival methods, they were still far behind those of Bifang Lai.

However, the Huskies' cold tolerance and endurance ensured Amundsen's daily march. The entire team still maintained the ability to travel 30 kilometers a day at high speed, and the progress of the trip was not slowed down by half a minute.

In the first half of the nearly 700-kilometer journey, Amundsen's team wore Eskimo fur coats and traveled by dog ​​sled and snowboard.

The second half of the journey was mainly about climbing and crossing mountains. Although they encountered many dangerous obstacles such as high mountains, deep valleys, and ice crevasses, due to adequate preparation in advance and the mobility of the Huskies, Amundsen's team still did not encounter fatal obstacles.

【Amazing】

[The Paw Paw Team has made great contributions!]

[You can’t tell, my Erha only knows how to tear down the house]

[A Erha who doesn’t know how to tear down a house is not a good Erha]

After nearly two months of marching across the ice, the weather became bad again, with blizzards blowing continuously for five days and nights. In order to get to the Antarctic first, Amundsen carried the snowboard and guided the dog sled forward.

When Amundsen was only 25 kilometers away from the Pole, Scott's team had already encountered a double blow of bad weather and insufficient preparation for departure.

Their Siberian ponies all froze to death in the freezing weather.

The tractor broke down, the pony froze to death, and Scott's team lost all transportation.

Their feet were frozen to death by hauling supplies in the freezing cold day and night, and their faces were covered with frostbite. The slightest touch would cause heart-piercing pain.

In such a situation, there is no doubt that we will lose.

Bi Fang touched Fugui's dog's head, and his body temperature was transferred to his palm through the hair, making him feel warm.

Previously, the audience only knew a rough ending, but did not know the details of the adventure. Now, after listening to Fang's more detailed review, they were quite emotional.

[Awesome, what is an explorer? This is an explorer]

[The spirit is worth learning]

This is the case with polar adventures. There is often a big hole left where no one will notice.

I really feel that just because I have good equipment, I can just ignore the natural environment and wander around casually, I would have been frozen into a popsicle long ago.

"Actually, before I came here, the captain of the cruise ship also told me an interesting story. It wasn't that long ago, just last year."

Bi Fang remembered some new things the old captain had told him when chatting with him.

“Two-thirds of the Arctic Ocean is covered with ice and snow all year round. Tourists who come here naturally find it novel and fun, but for crew members, they have often lived on a ship for a long time.

The scenery I see is the same every day.”

"There is nothing but ice here. Wherever the ship goes, there is a vast expanse of white. The scenery makes people tired of looking at it. There are only a few old acquaintances who can talk, so the extremely bored crew members are idle.

When I came down, I could only stare at the ice in a daze every day."

"As a result, a crew member suddenly saw something moving when he was looking far away. At first, he thought he encountered a polar bear. This is a common thing, so he didn't pay much attention to it. But when the ship

When he got closer, he discovered that the thing was much smaller than a polar bear."

"In the end, when I got a telescope, I realized it was actually a dog."

The crew at the time couldn't believe their eyes, but upon closer inspection, even though the hair and the background had almost blended into one, it was really a dog!

The lonely dog ​​walked up and down on the uneven ice, and unknowingly came under the cruise ship wagging its tail, looking like it wanted to get closer but didn't dare.

"At that time, the captain ordered the boarding ladder to be lowered and used food as bait. The dog came up immediately. Later, the crew recorded a video of the dog to see if any locals knew her, and found her.

Original owner."

[Damn, can I still pick up dogs if I go to the North Pole now?]

[Arctic Adoption Center, right?]

【Do these three dogs also have owners?】

"Maybe." Bi Fang was noncommittal.

Even if you are a big sheep farmer, many sheep will escape secretly every year, let alone dogs.

But looking at the way Sanjou approached him on his own initiative, Bi Fang actually had some suspicions in his heart that he might not have escaped on his own initiative.

As he said to the audience at the beginning, even in modern times, there are cases where Inuit people are found freezing to death in their houses.

Just like the primitive people who still exist in the primitive forests in modern times, some Inuit people are unable to integrate into modern life normally and still maintain their original appearance. If they cannot store enough food, their lives are also in danger.

Even those who have adapted still need to save enough money to survive.

Thanks to the "blessing" of some people, the Inuit people who entered modern society no longer need to store large amounts of food. Instead, they turn their reserves into money, sell furs, and save enough money through legal hunting of polar bears and other animals.

Money to support the purchase and sale of supplies when freighters arrive in winter.

But if there is not enough food, you will starve to death.

And if you don’t have enough money, you can only starve to death.

There seems to be no essential difference between the two, and the latter is even more naked.
