Chapter One Hundred and Thirty, Across Most of the Earth...

The Drake Strait is one of the ten largest straits in the world.

This is the widest strait in the world, and it is also the deepest strait in the world. For example, if two Huashan Mountains and a Hengshan Mountain are stacked in the strait, even the tops of the mountains will not be exposed to the sea.

The main storms in the Drake Strait are very strong. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, the wind force is above level 8 every day. Because of this situation, countless ships have sunk here in history, so it is also known as the "murderous place".

"Westerly Belt".

However, in modern society, the safety factor must have been greatly increased. So now if you want to cross here, the main problem is seasickness.

Because the storm in the strait is very strong, even a 10,000-ton ship will become unstable. Even people who are not seasick will become dizzy at this time.

Even Wang Taika couldn't bear it anymore, let alone Zhien-chan. She could only lie on the bed and didn't move except when she went to the bathroom. She ate very little because she was afraid of vomiting.

"Terrorist, I feel this is worse than hell."

Zhienjiang's face was sallow, she had almost vomited just now, and now she just wanted to return to the land: "How long will it take to end?"

Wang Taika was also lying on the bed, feeling dizzy: "It takes about eight hours to get from Ustriaya to Drake. It takes almost two days to get from Drake Strait to Antarctica."

"We have to take a boat when we go back?" Zhien-chan covered her face: "I really feel that life is worse than death!"

Wang Taika wanted to hug Zhien Jiang, but Zhien Jiang pushed him away.

"Terrorist, stay away from me, I'm afraid I'll spit on you."

Wang Taika didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was seasickness medicine on the ship, but its effect was mediocre. It was better to give him some sleeping pills and just fall asleep.

"It's been a long time since I've been on a boat. I didn't expect that I underestimated and was careless." Wang Taika said: "Don't worry, just this time, we will take a plane instead of a boat when we go back. There is an airport in Antarctica, so we will go back by plane."

There are permanent airports in Antarctica, but these airports are owned by scientific research stations of major countries. For example, China's Antarctic Zhongshan Station has a permanent airport built on the ice sheet.

Wang Taika lay on the bed and fell asleep by force, unable to move. Because the weather was different every day, the turbulence was also different. The few times Wang Taika came here before, he either took a plane or there was not much storm on the sea. This time, his luck was a bit bad.

Very dizzy.

After lying in bed for two days, the ship finally passed the Drake Passage and slowly approached the Antarctic continent. Wang Taika and Zhi Enjiang also regained their energy and were finally able to relax in the house and look at the scenery outside through the window.

"Although it's hard to get seasick, it's worth it to see such a scenery." Zhien-chan recovered quickly. After crossing the Drake Passage, she was full of energy again.

"Let's go, we are going to the Antarctic."

Wang Taika and Zhienjiang both changed their clothes and came to the deck of the boat. There were some other tourists on the boat, but not many. After all, it was not the peak season.

But that’s okay, because if it’s the peak season, some tourist attractions have to be drawn by lottery. It’s good now, you can do it at any time.

Wang Taika helped Zhi Enjiang sit in the assault boat. The ship could not approach the mainland directly, so he first made the assault boat to the land, and then he could actually set foot in Antarctica.

The weather today is very good, there is no wind, so it is not too cold.

Zhien-chan smoothed the broken hair around her ears with her hands, with a look of yearning and joy on her face: "Terrorist, this is so beautiful. I feel like I have only seen scenes like this in movies, the snow-capped mountains and the sea. This sea water

It’s so clean too!”

Wang Taika sat aside and sighed: "Yes, this is a scenery that can only be seen in Antarctica. Zhien-chan, do you want to camp tonight?"

Zhien-chan looked surprised: "In Antarctica? Won't you freeze to death?"

"This is the outskirts of Antarctica. It's okay. I sleep in a sleeping bag at night with a small stove next to me to keep warm." Wang Taika smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's safe. This is a normal tourist activity. If it's the peak season, this is necessary.

You can only get it by drawing lots. But now, if you want, we will camp in Antarctica tonight."

Zhien-chan hesitated: "Is it really safe?"

Wang Taika thought for a while and said: "If it is dangerous, then it is not Antarctica that is dangerous, but me!"

"Haha, if it were you, then I really wouldn't be afraid!" Zhien-chan smiled and said, "Okay, anyway, if you stay with me, even if we are blown away by the strong wind, we will still be together."

"Nonsense."

Wang Taika smiled.

In fact, there are very strict standards for camping in Antarctica. There is a fixed place along the outer edge of the coastline. The most important thing is hygiene. You are not allowed to throw even a little bit of garbage. Everything must be packed and taken back to the ship.

In fact, the camping period only lasts about ten hours, but there is one problem, which is going to the toilet. According to a series of provisions of the Antarctic Convention, it is not allowed to damage the scenery here casually. Even after the camping is over, everything must be restored to its original state.

People cannot leave any garbage on the Antarctic continent, regardless of whether it is organic or inorganic. Therefore, they will bring a few toilets on the ship. This toilet is similar to the one on the RV, but it is not flushing. It is a waterless vacuum suction type. There are

Sealed black water tanks. When everything is over, they have to take these back to the ship. Of course, this is what the crew has to do.

After all, we are out for fun, not a scientific expedition team, so everything is very convenient. There are many people on the ship who specialize in related services and will take care of everything. Of course, all these services are based on money.

A one-night camping trip in Antarctica cost tens of thousands for Wang Taika and Zhien-chan alone. It may not seem expensive, but it is already based on the previous threshold.

When they arrived at the coast, Wang Taika first landed on land, and then reached out to support Zhien Jiang. Zhien Jiang took Wang Taika's hand, and then jumped onto the land.

"To the South Pole!"

Zhien-chan said happily and looked down at her own footprints. This feeling was really great, an experience she had never had before in her life. This feeling was something that only Wang Taika could bring to herself.

Wang Tai took Zhien-chan's hand and the two of them walked around the coast. The air was really good, dry, cold and transparent.

It’s not particularly cold during the day in Antarctica. There is even an Antarctic diving project on board, which is quite wild.

Zhien-chan was very interested. Wang Taika walked with her for a long time, and then she saw a group of short, fat, rickety animals in the distance.

"Penguins!" Zhien-chan clapped her hands happily: "Wild penguins, this is the first time I have met them."

Wang Taika said: "We can get closer, but not too close. According to the Antarctic Convention, we must keep a distance of five meters from penguins."

Zhien-chan asked curiously: "What if the penguin chases me?"

"The penguin can touch you, but you can't touch the penguin. If the penguin comes close to you, you have to stand still and wait for the penguin to leave." Wang Taika knocked Zhien-chan on the head: "Didn't I say that before we got off the boat just now?

, I can’t even remember this.”

"Ah Yigu, you're going to knock my head so hard, no wonder I can't remember anything." Zhien-chan covered her head: "But with you here, what else should I remember?"

Wang Taika looked at Zhien-chan dotingly and said with a smile: "That's right."

Zhien-chan looked at the penguins in the distance and smiled: "Terrorist, I suddenly look forward to camping tonight. It would be a shame if I couldn't sleep with you in a place like this."

"Ahem!" Wang Taika almost choked to death from Zhien-chan's words of tiger and wolf! Although...he thought so too!

In fact, it has already been a matter of course, but Wang Taika just wants a different sense of ceremony. He doesn't want the time between himself and Zhien-chan to be just an ordinary place. What Wang Taika wants is unique, what he wants is

Even if the two people may eventually separate, Najien-chan will never forget the beauty and uniqueness of this time for the rest of her life.

This trace cannot be erased by anyone. Even at the end of life, it will be an eternal memory that will be recalled. There are thousands of people in the world, but no one can compare to Chien-chan's terrorist!
