gluttonous adventure king

Chapter 154 Snow Blind
The red Antarctic scientific research vehicle finally set off under the gaze of a kind of bored scientific research personnel.

The whole car plus the track is [-] meters high, [-] meters long, and [-] meters wide. It is basically a big box shape.

Fang Hong reported a set of initial data: "At present, our altitude is 30 meters, the atmospheric pressure is 38, and the wind speed is not counted per second, which basically cannot cause the rotation of the wind measuring instrument. The temperature is minus 24 degrees. The indoor temperature is [-] degrees, and because the content of water molecules in the air is the lowest in the world, it doesn’t feel cold at all.”

Fang Hong took off a lot of his inner clothes indoors, but he was still wearing winter clothes like a jacket.

"Brother Gun, do you really want to drive to the South Pole? Will it be too boring?"

"Adventures must be able to endure loneliness. What's more, in the past, the adventurers walked alone on the road to the pole, but I have always been accompanied by you."

Half an hour later, after only walking ten kilometers, Fang Hong stopped the car, got dressed, and got out of the car: "Check the equipment, and if you go further, there will be no turning back."

After walking for a while, turning back and climbing up, it will be very difficult.

Fang Hong checked the power system, oil pipes and gas pipes, as well as some scientific equipment for the suspension.

"Brother Gun, what is this transparent tube for?"

"This? This is for collecting air."

"Collect air? Why is there so much water in it!"

Fang Hong rolled his eyes: "As I mentioned in junior high school chemistry, the method of water drainage and air collection, when the water is emptied, what enters is naturally a tube of air, not a complicated device."

Look quietly: "What is the method of water drainage and gas collection?"

Fang Hong scratched his head: "Are you at home or?"

Look quietly: "At home."

"Very well, you bring a glass of water."

"It's on hand."

"Okay." Fang Hong checked the other equipment and said, "Dump it in the toilet."

After a while, I quietly watched the buddy come back again: "Brother Gun has fallen."

Fang Hong applauded: "Congratulations to Comrade Jing Jing, who collected a cup of air in the toilet by using the drainage and air collection method."

Hahaha and 666 swiped past.

Fang Hong got up and got into the car: "When you pour out the water, you seal the mouth of the cup, and you really collect the air in the toilet in a cup."

"Do it." Look at it quietly: "I'll just watch it quietly. From now on, I won't talk if I have nothing to do. The bamboo is gone, and it's broken, and the Buddha jumps the wall, and it's gone. Feed the dog."

Fang Hong pointed in the middle: "Retaliatory behavior."

The car moved forward all the way, and after more than half an hour, Fang Hong put the live broadcast device outside the car.

On the snow-white ground, a red car was moving forward slowly and alone.

Just like Fang Hong, with a hot heart, in a cold environment, walking alone, only his water friends are always with him.

After half an hour, the sharp-eyed water friend made a discovery: "Truts, ruts!"

Fang Hong raised his head and glanced to the side, and then turned back: "Yes, I saw that six years ago, the Chinese scientific expedition team risked their lives to climb to the top of Ice Dome A. This is the rut they left behind. The car passed by and softened the ground. The melting snow squeezed into the shape of ruts, coupled with weak winds and no precipitation all year round, it has been preserved very well in the past six years."

"My God, the traces from six years ago, didn't they say that Antarctica is very windy?"

Fang Hong looked at the map and pointed at the map: "This is our current position, this is our direction, go from here, after crossing this line, the wind will become stronger, and when we reach the South Pole, it will enter a strong wind." area, because the South Pole is actually in a narrow area of ​​the Antarctic continent, and it is backed by the Transantarctic Mountains. The entire terrain makes it a wind valley. On winter nights, the wind speed exceeds [-] kilometers per hour at any time. Standing in a bare place , can kill people at any time."

As we move forward, the time is approaching noon, the sun has come to the sky, and we still don’t know the exact direction. Now the car is heading towards the South Pole. The one coming from the right can barely be counted as northeast, but in fact this direction is towards the western hemisphere of.

"It's so quiet and beautiful. The sky is blue and there's not a single cloud. It's as if there's no atmosphere here."

However, in Fang Hong's eyes, it was another matter.

The whole earth is nothing but white, and the sky is indeed blue, but as the sun rises, the sunlight becomes white.

The whole earth is like a blank sheet of paper, and the sky is like milk pouring down.

Fang Hong knew that this was snow blindness.

I lowered my head to look at the seat, then looked up again. It was a little better this time, but within a minute, I couldn't see clearly again.

Snow blindness may be caused by seeing white things all the time.

It could be another reason too.

Fang Hong stopped the car: "The sun in the sky is shining from an oblique direction, reflected on the clouds in the distance and reflected into the cloudless sky above us, and then this light spreads down for the second time. Now my eyes are black except for the car. Outside the interior of the car, everything I can see is white, even turning my head to look at the sun, it looks like an LED bulb. This phenomenon is called snow blindness. I can’t move forward anymore. There is a good chance that I will die on this road."

Shuiyou didn't understand what was going on.

Fang Hong looked at his watch: "I'm jet lagged. It seems that I can't move forward every day when the solar energy causes this kind of light phenomenon."

Fang Hong roughly estimated that during the day, or in the morning, the sun is coming from behind, so you can't see the reflection of the snow, but you can see a lot of shadows. This kind of situation does not exist.

At noon, the sun was shining directly from the right, and it was impossible to move forward again.

At night, the sun shines straight ahead and is always less than thirty degrees above the horizon.

In the early morning, the sun came from the left, and this was the case again.

It seems that you can only drive from midnight to ten in the morning every day.

It really is going to Laomei's South Pole Station, and the jet lag is forced to be changed from the sunlight.

"Brother Gun, what are you going to do now?"

Fang Hong was very helpless: "What to do, let's force the jet lag, let's talk about it after sleeping."

Without rising in the east and setting in the west, the sun rotates in a circular arc between the low sky in the northwest and the low sky in the northeast. When it is due north, it is at the highest position, and when it is due south, the sun is on the horizon.

Fang Hong ran to the back box decisively, opened the folding bed, put on a sleeping bag, and fell asleep directly.

Ten hours later, Fang Hong woke up and turned on the live broadcast.

"Brother Gun, is the situation better now?"

Fang Hong pointed to the outside of the cockpit: "Now the sun is on the right hand side. I really want to twist off the mirror. The sun is facing the mirror and reflecting on the seat."

"Then you can leave in a while."

"Let's eat first." Fang Hong took out the stored food: "Instant noodles, self-tropical, this is military rations, keep it for life. Eat instant noodles first."

It's nine o'clock in the night of Zhonghua, and some water friends are happy: "We have been poisoned for so long, and finally one day Brother Gun is going to make instant noodles with us."

Fang Hong shrugged: "It doesn't matter. Look at this. This is a self-heating bag. It will be heated when you pour water on it. This is a two-layer iron box. Put instant noodles on the top and add water, and heat it on the bottom. You can eat it when it is hot."

Fang Hong brightened his chapped lips in front of the camera: "The air is too dry. I couldn't help breathing through my mouth while I was sleeping unconsciously, which caused chapped lips. I need to humidify the air, and the self-heating bag can make the water dry. It turns into steam, and vitamin C needs to be supplemented to avoid sepsis."

"Persimmons are too acidic, and raisins can slightly neutralize them. People with poor digestive system should not eat too many persimmons. In addition, the layer of ash on the outside is not completely glucose, and it may contain lime. Buying persimmons yourself is a waste of time. Be careful buying."

After dealing with a meal, Sunshine finally stopped being a demon: "Actually, when the sun doesn't dazzle my eyes or make me sick and dizzy, the scenery here is really nice."

"Pure, a piece of white, the shadows give the snow a sense of layering, and the sky returns to azure blue, which is extremely beautiful."
