Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 757 What else do you want

……

As described by the media, Tang's richest man can be said to have reproduced the power of the tycoons in the golden age of Hollywood - whoever is in charge of the head, last year created a Chinese Oscar queen, and this year let a career be rejected. The female celebrity who has been shrouded in the shadow of the assassination of the US President has reached the top. It is not an exaggeration to say that she can turn her hands into clouds and rain.

However, no one else could find fault with it.Tang Huan has always shown respect for Hollywood's rules of the game, and all operations are within the scope of the rules, so he naturally took his share.

For gossips, one thing is certain, that is, there is always a relationship between Hollywood tycoons and popular female stars that can only be understood but cannot be expressed.

It is hard to imagine how such a super-billionaire who indulged in the colorful world survived the difficult time during the scientific expedition to the Arctic.

Ever since, there is another angle of attention to Mr. Richest's trip to the North Pole, and that is the comfort level.

In response to this curiosity, Tang Huan generously opened his base on Baffin Island in Canada to answer questions.

This is the fifth largest island in the world located in the Arctic Circle and also the largest island in Canada. It was named after the explorer William Baffin who was the first to successfully sail around the island in 1615.

Baffin Island, which has no road and rail transportation, is sparsely populated and the main residents are Inuit.

Tang Huan, who arrived in Iqaluit, the largest town on the island, in early April, directly entered the final adaptive training session. The work content is quite complicated, such as communicating with indigenous guides and training Canadian Eskimo dogs as sled dogs Emotions, etc.—Since environmental protection is a major driving force for this trip, the most green and pollution-free dog sledge was naturally chosen as the mode of transportation.

It has to be said that Tang Huan has brought a profound impact here.Just as the gossip people wondered, how could the richest man who is not short of money allow himself to suffer needlessly, directly spending money on Canada’s Baffin Island and Norway’s Svalbard Islands, one west and one east, respectively, to establish a fairly modern These are the high-level logistics support bases and the places visited by curious journalists.

Geographically, Baffin Island has Baffin Bay and Davis Strait to the east, which can lead to Greenland, Denmark; and Fox Bay and Busia Bay to the south, which can lead to the Canadian mainland.

Although it is possible to come here by boat without being disturbed by the ice floes, the most convenient way is by air.After all, Iqaluit has an Iqaluit Airport built during World War II.

In fact, the Arctic region was also a major front line during the Cold War. Because the American continent and the Russian continent are the closest here, the threat of missiles has also increased.

From 1947 to 1957, the United States and Canada established a series of observation stations along the coast of the Arctic region, called "Distant_Early_Warning_Line" - "Distant Early Warning Line" or DEWLINE, to detect possible nuclear missile attacks from the Soviet Union.

Naturally, the Soviet Union did not show any weakness, and also regarded the Arctic region as a strategic focus, and successively built 30 Arctic floating observation stations.And these observatories have continued to operate from 1950 to the present,

In addition, both sides have also dispatched submarines to explore the Arctic region.

For example, in 1958, the US nuclear-powered submarine "Nautilus" reached the North Pole for the first time.Since then, NATO submarines have been swimming regularly on the bottom of the Arctic Ocean, using sonar to detect the bottom of the sea and the ice, and recorded a large amount of data on the thickness, breadth, and shape of the ice.The Soviet icebreaker "Arktika" sailed to the North Pole in 1977, making it the first time in history that a ship reached the North Pole from the surface of the Arctic Ocean.

This kind of strategic competition for the Arctic region between the two sides of the Cold War also imperceptibly promoted the scientific exploration of the Arctic region by the scientific community and deepened people's understanding of the Arctic climate.And those more and more frequent civilian scientific expeditions to the Arctic.Some of these activities were funded by the military.

So far, the greatest achievement of the civilian scientific expedition program is the Arctic_Ocean_Buoy_Program-the Arctic Ocean Buoy Program launched in 1979.It uses 20 to 30 ocean buoys to continuously collect weather data and record ice floes in the Arctic.

Obviously, as soon as the richest man comes out, he will greatly push such folk scientific investigations to a new sensational height.

After experiencing the cost spared in the construction of the logistics support base, the reporters also saw Tang Huan's team officially marching to the North Pole. They were fully armed for any eventuality-special GPS terminals and satellite phones to keep in touch at any time; Rescue planes are on standby...

Looking at the mighty starting team, the reporters couldn't help thinking: "Mr. Richest Man is not thinking of this Arctic scientific expedition plan as a unique trip."

……

I have to say that irresponsible guesses can sometimes be a coincidence of a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

Tang Huan did not waste the summer in the Arctic at all. He did not arrive at the logistics base of Svalbard in Norway until mid-August—Baffin Island on the Canadian side, which is located at more than 8 degrees north latitude, while Svalbard on the Norwegian side The Ba Islands are located at more than 63 degrees north latitude, so they are closer to the North Pole, which makes the richest man, who has a little accident, suffer less.

Compared to Baffin Island, Svalbard was discovered in 1596 by Dutch explorer Willem Barents.It's much more popular - Longyearbyen, the capital of the archipelago, has more than 1000 permanent residents.At first glance, it seems to be mediocre, but don't forget its extreme geographical location.

The reason is that in addition to the historical accumulation formed by the rich local resources, there is also the "Svalbard Treaty" that came into effect in the 1920s.According to its regulations, although the sovereignty of the entire archipelago is assigned to Norway, the area is a permanent demilitarized zone. All citizens of the contracting state and the successor state of the contracting state can freely enter and exit without applying for a visa.

In other words, it doesn’t matter even if your home lives on the equator, as long as you sign the contract, you can freely enter and exit this archipelago deep into the Arctic Circle, and carry out various activities under the legal control of the Norwegian government.

In addition, Svalbard, which is in the polar day period, is affected by the North Atlantic warm current, and the average summer temperature is between 4°C and 6°C. In July 1979, the highest temperature of 21.3°C was even observed.

With these more convenient conditions, the Svalbard Islands also has one more spectacle besides the magnificence of the polar day-the gathering of media, so that the local newspaper established in 1948, the "Svalbard Post", was squeezed out. Completely lost the sense of existence.

However, this has also allowed Svalbard, which has long relied on the mining industry, to experience an unusually strong tourism industry this summer.

After hearing the news of Tang Huan's return, all the reporters, tourists, and local residents took action and formed a team of hundreds of people to greet him—the former was eager to get the news, while the latter was curious What does the richest man, who has brought the unprecedented "Arctic boom" here, look like?

When the sled pulled by the huskies appeared in view, the crowd burst into cheers; however, after discovering that Tang Huan had a broken leg, discussions arose immediately.

The journalists on mission, regardless of that, immediately took out their special cameras and started shooting non-stop, especially not letting go of a pair of twin girls accompanying the richest man, and even slowing down the speed of the sled.

When a reporter disregarded the growling threats of the huskies even more, approached Tang Huan's sled, and asked loudly: "Don, do you know that during the time you went to the North Pole, something big happened?"

One of the disturbed twin girls suddenly exploded, raised her leg to hit a boot, and screamed at the same time: "You guys have been taking pictures like this, what else do you want, I didn't see Mr. Tang's fracture Do you need professional medical care as soon as possible?"

The opponent, who was caught off guard, was kicked down, and the camera in his hand was thrown far away.

Seeing how tough the girl was, the local residents of Svalbard burst into laughter.

At this time, the governor of Svalbard, the chief executive of Svalbard, finally squeezed through the crowd, saw Tang Huan, and asked with concern, "Tang, do you need any help from my side?"

Tang Huan nodded slightly and gently opened a leather bag beside him, revealing a polar bear cub inside, "We rescued this dying little thing who was separated from his mother on the ice floe. We didn't know it for a while. How to deal with it, please take care of it first."

"In addition, these huskies who have made great contributions are all my darlings. They will be temporarily arranged in the logistics base. Since they need a considerable amount of exercise and range of activities in their daily lives, please take care of them."

In this way, when he entered Longyearbyen, Tang Huan had already communicated with the governor of Svalbard, which made the subsequent handover extremely smooth.

Although some reporters were annoying, Tang Huan still held a media meeting in Longyearbyen regardless of previous suspicions before taking a flight to Oslo, the capital of Norway. According to his considerate words - to prevent everyone from making a trip in vain. I spent a lot of travel expenses, but I couldn't communicate with the superiors.

The reporters, who were a little restless with excitement, calmed down now, and the topics involved also revolved around the trip to the North Pole.

Naturally, everyone paid special attention first, how did the richest man's leg break?

Tang Huan replied rather helplessly: "As a basic principle of action for scientific expeditions in the Arctic, members will not exert any artificial influence on local animals. However, when we found the polar bear cub fighting for life on the ice floe, I was shocked." Still can't let it fend for itself in the cruel natural environment, so we are going to save it."

"Originally, this action plan was very safe, and I was extremely confident in my skills, but there was still a small accident and I accidentally fell."

"Fortunately, I still have some mastery of Chinese medicine. I dealt with it urgently. The problem should not be serious."

After hearing this explanation, everyone suddenly realized that they had to be impressed by the humanitarian spirit that the richest man insisted on.

After answering some questions related to the trip to the North Pole, the reporter who was kicked to the ground raised his hand and said, "I'm from the British "Sun". I want to ask..."

"Sorry, Mr. reporter, it's time for the plane to take off, and I can't delay any longer." Tang Huan, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at his watch, then interrupted the other party, waving his hand to indicate that this meeting is over. Finish.

Although this humble media meeting was not long, Tang Huan's personal experience of the North Pole has enriched everyone's material enough, so many people have already prepared their drafts and sent some "speedy recovery" wishes After that, they dispersed in a hurry, naturally having no time to pay attention to the dissatisfaction of the reporter from the British "Sun" newspaper.

Some of the reporters simply turned around and went to the logistics base.Gein and the others also noticed Tang Huan's huskies, all with interesting names, either Ferrari or Lamborghini, all of which belong to luxury cars. If you dig a bit, it should be a very interesting topic.

……

After the special plane carrying Tang Huan and his party landed at Oslo Airport, Crown Prince Harald of Norway came to greet him personally.

The Norwegian prince, who was born in 1937, was exiled to HSD in the United States with his mother, Princess Marta, and two sisters, Princess Ragsil and Princess Astri, during World War II. President Roosevelt of the United States has a very close personal relationship. Even when he was 8 years old at the time, he stood not far behind him when Roosevelt became the President of the United States for the fourth time in 1945.

Therefore, Prince Harald's English was not very fluent, he had a great time chatting with Tang Huan, and his medical care and daily life were arranged in every possible way.

After a hundred days of injury, Tang Huan lived peacefully in Norway, a quiet country.

However, the media is still busily reporting the news of his return from the North Pole. The ingenious British "Sun" even described it vividly: "Mr. the richest man's trip to the North Pole was so glamorous that he even brought a pair of The twin beautiful girl assistants are absolutely unprecedented..."

The media with a slightly lower limit is paying attention to some serious news, such as when Tang Huan, who has left the mainstream circle for several months, will regain power in the Tang IT Kingdom.

After a series of executives flew to Oslo to report to Tang Huan, this question was also answered, that is, the richest man is very satisfied with the collective leadership of the management committee, and he also needs to recuperate, so the current power structure will be maintained at least until the end of this year .

In short, Tang Huan likes the Nordic paradise very much, and plans to cultivate himself.

However, the facts have proved how important the role of the richest man is. On October 10, a 17-magnitude earthquake hit San Francisco, California. The severe disaster called Tang Jinzhou, "Come back quickly, the world cannot move an inch without you!"
