Chapter 575: Storm Snow.

Under the cover of night, the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p blew long waves on the sea and rushed towards the limitless sea with a speed of one hundred and fifty knots, which is nearly three hundred kilometers per hour.

Sitting in the c.o.c.kpit, Ye Qing can only detect slight twists and the roar of waves blown away by drafts.

By daylight, the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p had left the East China Sea and galloped across the Pacific Ocean without limits. This distance to be traveled is fully automatic, and the Master Craftsman was only responsible for monitoring the wind. As to whether anyone will see a large yacht galloping across the water, which was not a question for Ye Qing to consider. Thats why he worked the internet all day and rested at night.

On the second day, the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p had rounded Australia and reached the sea off Antarctica. The temperature in the c.o.c.kpit was 24 degrees and the outside temperature was minus 16 degrees. By this time there were already large icebergs floating in the sea. Occasionally the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p galloped towards the white ice on the sea surface, causing it to explode with friction noises.

In the afternoon, the pearls of icebergs disappeared from the sea. Instead, there was a beautiful image of endless white ice. The Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p climbed onto the ice and relied on four jet thrusters that projected compressed air pus.h.i.+ng it forward.

Antarctica was very calm unlike other continents, the sea was frozen and the jet thrusters blew shallow snowflakes across the ice, like a white crazy dragon dancing on the ice. At that time, the temperature was 20 degrees below zero, and Ye Qing played rousing music, according to the locations of scientific research stations of various countries shown on the electronic map and chose the most hidden route to disembark at the locality NB 6.

He didnt know how long he had been walking, and the white, silent world before him has vaguely undulating outlines. It is impossible for the ice sheet to have wavy contours, which means that it has arrived at the locality NB 6.

When he was several kilometers from the seawater, Ye Qings spirit arose, he abruptly swung the tail of the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p causing it to drift and drew a huge arc on the ice then stopped it in front of a raised ice boulder, positioned a beacon indicating the location following the electronic map, then switched the operating devices.

From the outside, anyone who could see it could see that this large yacht, who strangely sped over the ice, suddenly seemed to have a spirit in it. From deep within, a giant steel beast emerged, with a pointed forefoot outstretched and two mechanical arms fitted with sharp scissors.

Under Ye Qings control, the two mechanical arms produced the duh ~ sound like a pickaxe and shattered all the surrounding ice. When the surface of the ice shattered natures Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p fell into the ice cave.

Two minutes later, the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p, after hiding its camouflage hull, crawled out of the nearly two-meter-thick ice cave, and then used four giant steel feet to climb up to the locality NB 6. It was Cape Goodenough, named after an explorer who entered Antarctica.

Of course, this great explorers trip to the South Pole was not wonderful. Hundreds of years ago, for lack of protective gear against the cold, he wore wool-felt boots and was frozen in the company of his other companion. They were still sleeping in Antarctica.

With all the blessings of technology, Ye Qing can now enjoy the spirits and enjoy the scenery outside the window in just one layer.

The scarlet sh.e.l.l was extremely visible when exposed to the white world, so Ye Qing waited after climbing to the top of the NB 6 location. He and the monsters put on thick winter clothes, then opened the hatch.

I ~ count on ~ ah!

The moment the hatch opened, the enormous temperature difference gave Ye Qing the illusion of falling into the pool of liquid hydrogen a few hundred degrees below zero. The warm air in the cabin was instantly blown away by the strong wind, and the original calm environment was replaced by the terrifying howl of the wind.

Cruel nature taught him a lesson. Originally he didnt want to stay in the hot and quiet c.o.c.kpit, watch the wind with snowflakes pa.s.s through the window but as soon as he opened the hatch the Antarctic gave him the illusion that he was nothing more than a globe of ice and felt his blood clot and his breathing immediately froze. The outside temperature was minus 34 degrees, and there were eight levels of wind.

Ye Qing closed the hatch with a bang ~. Of course, the others did not sit idly by either. The two tall Monsters Juli and Niu Yi with blue faces had walked into the strong wind and pulled pure white camouflage netting from the hold. They seemed to consider the gusts of wind and extreme cold like nothing, and they just covered the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p with camouflage netting against the strong wind. Suddenly the cold scarlet sh.e.l.l disappeared and the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p merged with the pure white ground. And now its time to go ahead; they would need to determine the location of the combustible ice indicated on the electronic board.

Without the information from the Antarctic Science Expedition team, who would have imagined that the extreme cold of Antarctica in the arid lands would in fact store the worlds most abundant combustible ice resources?

The combustible ice mine buried in the ice is more than a hundred kilometers from the surface. Similarly, the Chinese scientific research station stationed in Antarctica is more than 100 kilometers from this place; this station was established by a team of investigators from the city of Zhongshan. During the hot season three years ago, investigators from Zhongshan Station showed the place by mapping the land. The inspector from Zhongshan Station accidentally discovered this place while surveying the land.

Along the way, when the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p encountered rolling mountains, it would make detours or climb, and when it encountered flat terrain, it would put its propeller in motion and glide across the snow.

It was already one in the morning, and the sun was resting in the air, and yet it was still a little dark in here. Upon reaching the map area, Ye Qing realized there was an invisible plain of ice and snow. Using a mechanical arm to sweep the snow across the plain, he suddenly discovered another transparent frozen world beneath the ice cap. With a little light blue, countless bubbles are eternally frozen there. There is also the wave pattern formed for unknown reasons, which seems to silently tell the beauty that was only theirs. This is all combustible ice, compared to combustible ice buried in permafrost and seabed several hundred meters deep, it is almost within reach. Of course, the harsh natural environment cuts its tracks to everyone.

Now Ye Qing has come with the Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p, seeking a position on board. The Lord Duan Battles.h.i.+p again reached out the mechanical arm, activated the high-powered laser cutting machine, and cut a circle on the ice with a tilt like a cone. As the burning laser pa.s.sed, the ice sheet was carefully cut, but when another mechanical arm lifted the enormous ice cone, the combustible ice below burst into a blue flame.

Ye Qing had antic.i.p.ated this situation from the start. He predicted the combustible ice would act only shortly after it had come into contact with air so that the combustion would not be violent. The laser turned it on, and the lid was able to cover it and turn it off again. After extinguis.h.i.+ng the fire germs, he thought of another technique, the frame of the mechanical arm was replaced with a wheel cutter, and the high-rotating wheel, having the size of a cubic meter had carefully cut a piece of combustible ice from the inside.

Enriched, transparent combustible gas was slowly escaping from the temporary mine, and each time a piece was cut, the mechanical arm would sandwich it and send it to the hold of the lord Duan battles.h.i.+p.

One cubic meter of water equals one ton, and since combustible ice weighs about the same weight, Ye Qing must therefore cut at least 1,000 pieces. Without any warning beforehand, the roaring wind outside the porthole gradually ceased, and just when Ye Qing thought it was sunny, a feather-shaped snowflake swirled and fell in front of his eyes.

One-piece, two pieces, countless pieces, the snow was getting bigger and bigger. When Ye Qing counted the 200th track, the thick goose-feather snow turned into a slap, and the disappearing wind roared again.

The whole world was white, and even though he was less than ten meters from the porthole, Ye Qing couldnt see the appearance of the robotic arm at all, let alone the combustible ice cutter, the outside temperature dropped sharply to minus 39 degrees, and there was also blade-shaped ice ballast in the snowflakes, rustling against the window.

This kind of extreme weather, if encountered by members of the scientific expedition marching on foot, Im afraid the whole army will eventually be overthrown. If he hadnt come to Antarctica, Ye Qing would have lived another 300 years and could never see such a shocking natural scene.

Okay ~

Since he couldnt cut the combustible ice and get it, then why not enjoy the snow while baking. Ye Qing, wearing only one s.h.i.+rt, stood up and walked to the kitchen.
