Huo Yu was probably the only one who slept well at the scientific research station last night.
Due to the blood factor, his sleep quality has made a qualitative leap, and his sleep time has also been reduced a lot.
This means that he only needs four or five hours of high-quality sleep every day to be energetic and active throughout the day.
At this moment, Huo Yu was sitting upright in the main seat of the conference room, trying hard to look like a majestic scientific research station director.
As the station members entered the conference room one after another, the expression on Huo Yu's face gradually began to collapse.
The dark circles under each one's eyes are like those of a panda, which really makes people laugh.
It looked like I had snatched all their bamboo shoots.
"Ahem." Huo Yu coughed to hide his smile, "Are you all here?"
Wu Yi sat next to his right hand, looked around at everyone, and then said listlessly: "We're all here."
"good."
Huo Yu took out a printed task report and placed it in front of him.
"This mission is a biological research mission. It was directly assigned from the Ice Keeper headquarters to the Biological Department, and then passed to me."
"On a seaside more than 200 kilometers away from the 249 scientific research station, a group of Steller sea lions living there experienced abnormal conditions."
Hearing this, others also became serious.
Most of the tasks directly assigned by the Icekeeper headquarters are very difficult, especially biological research and rescue tasks.
First, because these tasks are urgent and there is very little time available.
Because animals are constantly moving, they may have already left by the time the icekeeper arrives at the scene.
The second reason is that animals and humans cannot communicate and are somewhat aggressive.
Once an animal attacks the icekeeper, it is almost equivalent to declaring a mission failure, and the icekeeper will also be exposed to corresponding dangers.
"In recent days, these sea lions have often attacked passing scientific research vessels, cars, and even other animals for no reason, causing serious losses."
As Huo Yu continued to talk about the mission, everyone's expressions became more solemn.
Everyone present has experienced icekeeper training. Polar biology is one of the required courses. They know sea creatures like sea lions very well.
The Steller is the largest species in the Sea Lion family, with a slender body. The length of an adult male is 310-350 centimeters and weighs more than 1,000 kilograms. The female animal is 250-270 cm long and weighs about 300 kg.
Generally speaking, this kind of animal is docile, but it is not without precedent of attacking humans.
The most important thing is that sea lions are animals that mostly live in groups.
Fortunately at sea, they will form small groups ranging from two to ten individuals.
But once on the shore, they will quickly develop into a huge group of thousands, covering the entire coast in a mighty manner.
Just imagine, thousands of irrational sea beasts weighing about a ton surround you, making unpleasant roars and rushing towards you.
Even if they walk like Wu Laoer next door with a missing brainstem, once they become large in number, they will still have a terrifying and terrifying sense of oppression.
"Yesterday, colleagues from other scientific research stations went to the gathering place of this group of sea lions to investigate, but they didn't even touch the sea lion fur. As long as they get close to the sea lions, they will be attacked."
"Other scientific research stations returned without success, so the Biology Department handed over the task to us."
Huo Yu put down the paper in his hand and said to everyone seriously:
"This is the first time that our 249 scientific research station has performed a mission collectively. To be honest, this mission is not easy, especially for our newly formed team. It is a huge challenge."
In fact, the success rate would be higher if Huo Yu did this task by himself.
He has a strong affinity with animals and can also be escorted by a pack of wolves.
But Huo Yu still decided to complete the mission as a team, even if it was a military training session.
"Okay, now let's allocate the personnel left behind and the list of personnel performing tasks."
Huo Yu looked around and took in all the facial expressions.
Soon, he had an idea and said quickly: "Old Wu, Peipei, and Wei Di, the three of you will stay at the scientific research station."
Wu Yi, with a bulging and resentful head on his head, made an OK gesture to Huo Yu.
When the station chief performs his duties, the deputy station chief must stay and look after the house. This is an unwritten rule in the Ice Keepers organization.
Except for the 099 scientific research station like Bai Xiaomo's previous station, Bai Xiaomo, as the station director, did not have many close followers, so he could only bring Liu Zhe out to perform the task.
Most other scientific research stations will separate the station manager and deputy station manager so that there will be no one to speak to in case of an accident.
Su Peipei was a correspondent and was originally supposed to stay at the scientific research station, but Wei Di was hesitant to speak.
Huo Yu glanced at him and said comfortingly: "Yesterday you were on the second shift of the night watch. Your condition was not very good. Let's go back and catch up on some sleep. I will definitely call you next time I have a mission."
Wei Di nodded immediately: "I understand, stationmaster."
Huo Yu said 'hmm' and looked at Bai Xiaomo and the other four who were performing the mission:
"Others, go back and pack your equipment now and set off on time in half an hour."
"Bring your combat uniforms, weapons and equipment, and anesthesia guns. Ling Ran will bring your medical equipment. Don't be careless."
"yes."
Everyone stood up and responded.
Huo Yu's expression relaxed and he continued: "I should have let you have breakfast, but the journey is long and time is tight. Let's solve it on the road."
Everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously.
It is normal for front-line icekeepers to be hungry and full, and no one will care about this kind of thing.
As the mission began, the quiet scientific research station immediately became busy.
The other station members returned to their rooms and began to check their equipment, while Huo Yu came to the garage and began to consider which snowmobile to take to perform the mission.
Armed helicopters are definitely not allowed to be used. They are strategic vehicles and, like base vehicles, cannot be used except in emergencies.
Huo Yu finally chose the snowmobile provided by the system and the other snowmobile left by Qingchan.
After Huo Yu filled the two cars with gasoline and checked their condition, everyone else was ready and began to gather outside the door.
Huo Yu walked out of the garage door and saw four people wearing all black combat uniforms at a glance. They looked heroic, sweeping away the signs of not sleeping well before.
He nodded with satisfaction, took a step forward and said:
"I don't have much to say about this first operation. I just want to tell you one thing."
"Sea lions are very precious protected animals. We must do our best to ensure their safety and not engage in excessive behavior."
"However, your lives are tens of thousands of times more important than theirs. If there is an emergency, you would rather give up rescuing the sea lions than protect your own lives first. Do you understand?"
Everyone's hearts warmed up and they quickly replied: "I understand."
Huo Yu waved his hand: "Let's go!"
