Chapter 772: Arriving in Antarctica

Translator: _Min_ Editor: Rundi

The ship had a 150-meter-long hull, with a width of more than 20 meters. The mid-section was equipped with two mechanical arms. A helicopter landing pad was located in the front with an “Arctic” version of the Mi-8 helicopter. The side of the hull was painted with the giant words that spelled out in red –

Pathfinder!

It was the name of the polar expedition vessel and the name of the Antarctic research group.

There were no grand ceremonies. After the two dozen members, including Jiang Chen, boarded the ship, the Pathfinder left the port in a low-key manner. They crossed the equator and headed south. Not until all personnel boarded did the crew members surprisingly discover they were on the same boat as the famous president of Future Group.

“My name is Jiang Chen, obviously you already know that. Just go on with your tasks, I’m just taking a trip to check out the South Pole.”

The ship moved, and the leader of the team held a briefing session. All the crew members attended and Jiang Chen did not exclude himself. At the meeting, he made a brief introduction. After finishing his introduction, he headed back to his room and left the shocked crowd still in the cabin.

After the meeting, four girls that specialized in surveying gathered together and went to the cafeteria for food.

On the way, the four girls quickly began to gossip.

“Oh, is that…is that really Jiang Chen?”

“That’s the one on TV?”

“The president of Future Group with multiple hundred billion companies…but why is he on our ship?” A girl covered her mouth with her her eyes widended.

“On the same boat with the president, My god, this is just the perfect beginning of a Korean drama!” Another girl said with stars flickering in her eyes.

“Wake up, Qianqian, it’s time to take your medicine.” The girl standing next to her passed her, her lunch box.

“I hate you! Screw you!” The girl called Qianqian blushed and softly hit her friend

….

From the equator, the South Pole was close to 10,000 kilometers away, At the highest speed of the Pathfinder, being 18 knots, it would take them about two weeks.

Not until now did Jiang Chen realize how terrible of a decision he made not bringing Ayesha. With Ayesha, at least he didn’t have to spend the nights alone. Now, his only pleasure all day was to stay in the bedroom with a Phantom helmet, using quantum communication satellite Wi-Fi to play online games.

The total number of female creatures in the entire vessel was scarce. First of all, the soldiers were all males. Second, all the scientific researchers were basically male. The only four female scientists were quite interested in him, but Jiang Chen was not interested in spending an intimate moment with them.

However, time did fly by quickly while playing online games and enjoying the sea breeze.

Although Jiang Chen had an administrator account, he did not use it. He registered an account and created an archer, and began to level up from level 1. It was certainly fun playing this game. In particular, when someone showed off in front of him, he would secretly open a hack and one shot them with a magic arrow

It felt amazing.

After playing for more than two weeks, he met several interesting netizens, but Jiang Chen didn’t state his identity. When the Pathfinder approached Antarctica, he would probably stop playing the game.

In the last three days, the temperature began to gradually drop, and when the icebergs began to become a common sight, the Pathfinder was approaching Antarctica. Even Jiang Chen’s body conditions couldn’t stand the weather anymore and he had put on thick winter clothes.

The winter clothes were all made by the textile factories of the Sixth Street. They looked like down jackets, but they were warmer. Sponge-like cotton wool was sandwiched by a warming wire, which could be adjusted by the touch screen around the wrist. After the clothes were made, the scientists could not wait to put them on.

Every trip to the South Pole is not a pleasant experience, regardless of the country, at least from the temperature perspective. However, with the winter coats, although their nose would still be frozen, at least their bodies felt more comfortable.

Fortunately, there were no glaciers to deal with along the way.

The Pathfinder bypassed Scott Island, sailed smoothly into the Ross Sea, made a simple replenishment at the Hallett Station. Arguably, these inspection stations, in principle, did not sell supplies externally, but they all have exceptions.

It was clearly not Captain Marshall Keller’s first trip to the South Pole. He was familiar with the situation there.

“It is an unwritten rule to help each other here. The surface of the sea is prone to freezing, and anyone may experience a situation where the supply vessel is delayed. If you have excess supplies on hand, selling it to others is equivalent to saving someone’s life. Of course, the price may be slightly more expensive.”

After the supplying was completed, a UA wrapped like a polar bear kneeled by the railing and greeted the people on the ship.

“Hey, guys, where did your clothes come from? I mean… is it not cold to wear such thin clothes?”

When he was shouting this sentence, he had an Ohio accent. There was an?immigrant from the same state on Jiang Chen’s ship, so he shouted back.

“Haha! Wearing this thing is just like wearing a heater!”

At the same time, the Ohio man also showed off the logo on his chest, afraid his fellow friend couldn’t see the brand of their clothes.

Future Textile.

Well, the two words were what he ordered to be printed. However, this so-called Future Textile still remained on the drawing board. He has been hesitating to enter the textile industry where profits were not so lucrative.

The man who was standing at the side of the observation station looked at the clothes, full of envy.

While he didn’t recognize the words, no one in the world didn’t recognize the character “Future”. Turn on the phone and you’ll recognize it. Future 1.0 still maintained a dominant market share in the smartphone industry, and the name Future almost became synonymous with high tech.

He looked at the Pathfinder departing and shook his head. Moving his legs buried in the snow, he walked toward the hut.

If it were an adventure to the pole, most tourists would choose Ross Sea as a landing point. This was because it was the most southern waters that can be reached by ships, and it was also the traditional route that humans used to reach the South Pole with ships.

However, Jiang Chen and others were not trying to challenge the world’s extreme, but explore the treasures of the Third Reich. So after completing the replenishment, the Pathfinder directly sailed out of the Ross Sea and traveled along the shore of George V, toward the Wilkes Land…

However, what the people did not know was that shortly after they left the inspection station at Hallett, the man with a thick down coat walked behind the station and took out a satellite phone.

The lips under the shadow spat out white mist.

“They have arrived…”
