The next day, except for the Chinese scientific research team led by Xie Jie, scientific research teams from other countries left the 249 scientific research station one after another.
Although they did not get the right to raise the great auk, these scientific research teams were not without gains.
At least when they left, their faces were filled with satisfied smiles.
There are so many polar creatures in the 249 scientific research station. As long as it is a star animal in the Arctic, there must be one in the scientific research station.
As a zoologist, what could be more enjoyable than getting up close and personal with cute wild animals?
After sending away the satisfied foreign scientific research team, Xie Jie and the others did not leave.
According to the agreement, Huo Yu will escort the baby auk back to China with Xie Jie and others, and start their own vacation at the same time.
What surprised Huo Yu was that even Su Jian and Qingchan left, but Li still stayed at the 249 scientific research station.
If you want to stay, just stay. The 249 Scientific Research Station has a great business, and this old man will not be short of a living.
The key is that this old man often stares at me with strange eyes, which often makes his scalp numb, and he seriously doubts whether this old man has any evil thoughts about him.
After all, foreigners are more open-minded in this regard...
Fortunately, the old man only stared at him occasionally and his behavior was quite normal, so Huo Yu didn't take it seriously.
At this moment, all the staff of the 249 scientific research station gathered in the conference room again for a small meeting.
Huo Yu was still sitting in the main seat, while Xie Jie sat next to Huo Yu and closed his eyes to relax.
The other station members were sorted in order of rank, but two similarly organized boys did not come today.
Xiao Yu went to pick up girls, while Xiao Tuan went to catch fish with the little seal.
Although Xiaotuan is older, he seems to be not as quick to understand as Xiaoyu, and he has not shown any desire for the little female bear so far.
Although the two little guys are also trainee icekeepers, they are more about reputation. Except for the first meeting of the 249 scientific research station, they are usually not called.
As for Commander-in-Chief Li, despite his high position and authority, he is still not qualified to participate in internal meetings.
Although Xie Jie is unreliable, he can still be considered one of his own.
"Ahem." Huo Yu cleared his throat and got straight to the point. "Let's keep the story short. This time we mainly want to count the vacation status."
"The polar night is approaching, and the winter break has begun. The situation at our scientific research station is somewhat special. It is best not to let other personnel take time off, and only keep our own people on duty at the scientific research station."
Shifting refers to allowing other icekeepers to come to the scientific research station to work during the polar night, which is regarded as a changing of the guard system.
Although the Arctic is dangerous during the polar night, for ice keepers, the danger is greatly reduced.
Because during the polar night, all scientific research operations will be suspended, including daily patrols and inspection tasks.
The icekeepers on duty only need to maintain the safety of the facilities at the scientific research station, and naturally they rarely encounter danger.
"Is there anyone who volunteers to stay on duty at the scientific research station?" Huo Yu looked at his friends, "I will help you apply for the best benefits. After all, our scientific research station is the closest to the pole."
"I can assure you that even in the polar night, the 249 scientific research station is definitely the safest scientific research station."
The partners looked at each other and said one after another:
"I can stay."
"I'll stay. It won't be a big deal if I return home."
"I'll come, I didn't want to leave."
Xie Jie opened his eyes in surprise.
He has been to countless scientific research stations. Every time he goes on vacation, everyone rushes to return home. No matter how high the wages, bonuses and benefits are, few people are willing to stay on duty.
After all, I have been away from home for too long, and Chinese people are famously home-loving.
Everyone rushed to be on duty, and Xie Jie saw it for the first time.
He couldn't help but glance at Huo Yu beside him.
Does this guy have such strong team cohesion?
Huo Yu waved his hand: "There's no need to have so many people. We have a total of eight people at the scientific research station. I think it's okay to leave four people."
"You don't have to worry about security issues. The wolves in Langshan will help us solve it. You just eat and drink. If you have nothing to do, just send a report to the headquarters."
Xie Jie rolled his eyes, Huo Yu was really good at deceiving people.
Being on duty at polar night is a hard job. It's pitch black all day long, the outdoor temperature is frighteningly low, and the range of activities is almost limited to indoors.
You can also eat and drink with some stock, and fresh fish, meat and vegetables are not even a thought.
Entertainment activities are even scarcer.
After thinking about it, the 249 scientific research station seems to be different.
They are self-sufficient in fish, meat and vegetables, and have complete heating facilities.
Not to mention entertainment activities, cats, dogs and various small animals can be played with at will, as well as game consoles and activity rooms.
The polar night seems to have little impact on this scientific research station.
Thinking of this, Xie Jie didn't think much about it, but cautiously stretched out his hand like an old naughty boy, trying to touch the little snowy owl on Huo Yu's shoulder.
"Gu Gu Gu~ (What are you doing, ouch~)"
The little snowy owl glared at the old man unhappily, then flapped its wings and flew to Huo Yu's other shoulder.
Xie Jie is not upset either. After getting along with each other for the past few days, he and Huo Yu's fur babies have established a solid relationship.
It's a bit like the relationship between a grandpa and his naughty grandson.
Everyone thought for a moment, and it was Wei Di who spoke first: "Stationmaster, count me in, I need money very much now."
Huo Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I will apply for you later."
Although Huo Yu didn't say much, everyone knew it.
This application is not to apply for stay-at-home status, but to apply for better benefits.
No one has any objection to this, and everyone is more or less aware of Wei Di's situation.
What's more, there's no shame in making more money.
"Then I'll stay too." Su Peipei raised her little hand, "My father won't go home during the New Year, so there's no point in me going back by myself."
Huo Yu nodded slightly and added Su Peipei's name to the stay-at-home list.
"Count me in, my old man won't go home either." Wu Yi also chose to stay.
Huo Yu didn't stop him either. Wu Yi's fighting ability was outstanding, so he was relieved that he was willing to stay.
"Who among you will take the last spot?" Huo Yu raised his head and looked at the others.
The others looked at each other, and finally Jiao Yue said: "I'll do it."
"The icekeepers in the field can go home and rest for several months almost every year. It doesn't matter whether I go home or not."
Huo Yu felt even more relieved when Jiao Yue took the initiative to stay.
In the 249 scientific research station where perverts and childish ghosts are rampant, Jiao Yue is undoubtedly the most reliable pillar.
"OK, Wu Yi, Jiao Yue, Wei Di, and Su Peipei are staying." Huo Yu raised his head and looked at everyone, "The rest of them can just go back to China with me and Mr. Xie. Is that okay?"
"No problem." Everyone responded in unison.
"Okay, I'll be on duty for the last day tomorrow." Huo Yu smiled and touched the little snowy owl's head, "Let's go home early the day after tomorrow!"
