"Salute to the heroic icekeepers, heroes will live forever."
"They are just children."
"I thought they were just giving silently, but in fact they are sacrificing silently for us."
"These are the stars of China... Salute to the heroes!"
"I burst into tears, Mr. Yu, it's so difficult for you."
The audience in the live broadcast room paid tribute in silence.
Even the two little guys in the room felt the solemn atmosphere and became quiet.
Huo Yu rubbed his red eyes and stabilized his mood.
"Of course, I'm not saying this just to be miserable." Huo Yu changed his tone to a more relaxed tone, "I just want to tell everyone, don't go to the North Pole to be an icekeeper on a whim. You have to think about it. This is a very difficult road to walk. road."
As Huo Yu said, the elimination rate of the Ice Guard newcomers during the training period is frighteningly high.
Especially after the Huoyu live broadcast became popular, many young men and women traveled thousands of miles to the North and South Poles with their passion.
After many people had their heads heated by the polar cold wind for several days, they could no longer endure the hardship and ran back again.
What is the most important trait of an icekeeper?
Rich knowledge?
A strong body?
Huo Yu feels that the most indispensable thing for an icekeeper is a firm will.
Jingle Bell--
Suddenly, the contact on the table rang again.
Huo Yu was awakened by the ringing and subconsciously answered the call.
"249 Scientific Research Station, this is the 009 Scientific Research Station, there is something important that needs to be announced."
Pepe's voice on the contact sounded a little anxious.
"This is Scientific Research Station 249, please tell me."
"Stationmaster Huo, you are here." Su Peipei breathed a sigh of relief, "Great, the situation is urgent, let my dad...our stationmaster talk to you."
There was a loud noise from the other side of the communicator.
After a moment, Su Jian picked up the phone and said seriously: "Stationmaster Huo, are you still there?"
"Yes." Huo Yu said calmly, "Stationmaster Su, please tell me."
"The temperature in the Arctic continues to rise this summer, and the melting of glaciers is more serious than in previous years."
"Other scientific research stations under 009 have been affected to some extent, especially the 083 scientific research station."
"Three days ago, all their scientific research station buildings sank to the bottom of the sea."
Huo Yu frowned and said, "Is he okay?"
"The people are fine. They are an old station-level scientific research station and have their own base vehicle." Su Jian said calmly, "When the ice broke, an icekeeper discovered it in time and all the members hid in the base vehicle. ”
Huo Yu finally let go of his hanging heart.
The sealing of the base vehicle is very good, at least the lives of these icekeepers are not in danger for the time being.
"that's great……"
"Alas..." Su Jian on the other end of the contact was hesitant to speak.
Realizing that Su Jian was acting strangely, Huo Yu asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Station Commander Su, is there something wrong with the rescue?"
"Yes, the ice broke, causing roads to be blocked. Many of the glaciers where the outer scientific research stations were located fell off entirely and are still floating in the sea."
"The few scientific research stations that were not affected are also busy taking care of themselves, and the roads leading to the 083 scientific research station are broken, so we can only use waterways."
"Stationmaster Su, tell me, what do you need me to do?"
Su Jian was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Now, you are the only one who can save the 083 scientific research station."
"The food at the 083 scientific research station is stored in the station building. The base vehicle only has a few days' worth of food. There is a seawater distiller, so drinking water is not a problem."
"Nevertheless, they will soon run out of food."
Huo Yu did not agree immediately, but quietly called up the map.
Huo Yu was silent for a few minutes while looking at the newly updated map in the control room.
"Stationmaster Su, I'm sorry." Huo Yu's voice was full of guilt, "The glacier leading from 249 Research Station to 083 Research Station also broke."
"What? It's impossible. The map I have here..."
"You haven't had time to summarize the information uploaded in this week's weekly newspaper, right?"
Su Jian was silent.
"I recently explored an area of 100 kilometers in radius. The glacier broke three days ago. I have drawn a map and uploaded it. You can take a look."
Su Jian did not verify as Huo Yu said.
He believed what Huo Yu said was true.
An icekeeper who braved a blizzard to rescue a team in distress would not be able to shrink from such a thing, let alone make up lies to deceive him.
"Can we take the water route?" Su Jian's voice suddenly became excited, "Commander Huo, look, your position and that of the 083 scientific research station are symmetrical. The glacier is in a 'U' shape, and there is only less than a hundred kilometers between them. The sea can be reached in one day by waterway.”
Huo Yu sighed.
"Uncle Su." Facing the desperate Su Jian, Huo Yu quietly changed his name, "The 249 scientific research station is an inland scientific research station. It is not equipped with an icebreaker, not even a speedboat."
"Sorry, there's nothing I can do."
Inland scientific research stations refer to scientific research stations within the Arctic Circle and not along the coast.
The Arctic is different from the Antarctic. Due to the lack of land, the living environment in the Arctic is harsher than that in the Antarctic.
Therefore, all Arctic scientific research stations are located near the Arctic Circle, and most of them are outside the Arctic Circle, close to the sea, making it easy to evacuate at any time.
The 249 scientific research station is the scientific research station closest to the pole, and that is also a relative term.
In fact, Research Station 249 is not far from the Arctic Circle.
Four-fifths of the glaciers from the pole to the Arctic Circle are truly no-man's land, and the remaining one-fifth of the glaciers have scattered scientific research stations.
The 249 scientific research station is the closest to the uninhabited land.
Since it is far away from the ocean, there is no need to arrange a ship.
However, now that the glaciers are melting further, no one knows whether the 249 scientific research station will remain an inland scientific research station in the future.
"I was negligent." Su Jian's voice suddenly became hoarse.
"You are too tired."
Su Jian was silent for a long time without answering.
Over the past month, Su Jian has been exhausted both mentally and physically.
Many of the Ice Keepers' outer scientific research stations were covered by the ocean, and many were forced to evacuate.
Nearly half of the more than ten scientific research stations under the jurisdiction of the 009 scientific research station have lost their operational capabilities due to various reasons.
Unlike the Antarctic research station, when the temperature rises, the snow will not be visible at most, but it can still operate.
If an Arctic research station is submerged by the ocean, it's completely over.
"Stationmaster Su? Stationmaster Su?"
Huo Yu called several times, but got no reply.
"Uncle Su!"
"Ah?" Su Jian, who was deep in thought, was awakened by Huo Yu, "It's okay, stationmaster Huo, please pay attention to your own safety. I will figure out a solution for the 083 scientific research station."
"Stationmaster Su, we still have a lot of supplies here. If necessary, we can provide them to other scientific research stations."
Su Jian smiled bitterly: "What we lack now is not supplies, but the ability to deliver supplies to everyone."
Huo Yu didn't know how to respond, so he could only say a few words of comfort and hung up the communication.
The audience in the live broadcast room witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but become worried.
Huo Yu smiled helplessly when he saw the barrage filling the screen comforting him.
"Sorry everyone, my mind is very confused today, so I'll end it here."
Without waiting for the audience to answer, Huo Yu quickly hung up the live broadcast.
