Chapter 286 Changes in Sand Island
After that, due to the good weather, Xiao Hai, Wang Yong and several others took helicopters to visit Taishan Station and Kunlun Station.
If there were no helicopters, it was usually a long time to travel from Zhongshan Station to Kunlun Station. Although they were only more than 1,000 kilometers away, if they were walking with both feet, it would be possible to walk for more than ten or twenty days, or even about a month.
After all, Antarctica has basically no roads, and it is often far away because of an ice crack.
Whether it was to Taishan Station or Kunlun Station, Xiao Hai received VIP reception, and all the webmasters made a special trip to meet.
There is no way! The supplies supply of the two stations are largely dependent on Zhongshan Station, using Zhongshan Station as a transit station. After Xiao Hai's icebreaker participated in the transportation of materials, the materials they needed increased greatly, alleviating difficulties and problems in various aspects, and they would definitely treat Xiao Hai as a VIP.
During this trip to Antarctica, everyone stayed at the scientific research station in Antarctica for almost a week and finally embarked on the way back.
During this week, in addition to Liu Yehong, another tourist was full of luck and also picked up a meteorite, but it was a meteorite less than 100 grams, and it was not a meteorite from the moon and Mars. The quality can only be said to be average.
But no one expected that the scientific research station found that the meteorite actually contained amino acid substances. So the scientific research station spent 100,000 yuan to collect the meteorite.
Anyone who has studied biology and chemistry knows that amino acids are components of proteins.
Protein often represents the possibility of life. Therefore, that meteorite seems to be of great research value.
Like Song Xiuliang, although he had been staying in the scientific research station this week, he realized his dream and was very satisfied, and he was much more prosperous.
That boy Wu Jin is probably the most bizarre existence. When he arrived in Antarctica, he went out of the door except for the first day when he visited Zhongshan Station, and he hid in writing books, reading novels, etc. at other times.
When others go to Antarctica, they cherish their time very much and want to sleep and go out for a long time. Only that boy is still an otaku.
To be honest, Xiao Hai was speechless: Why did you travel thousands of miles to Antarctica? Experience taking a boat abroad?
For this reason, Cen Xuehui has been making jokes about that guy a lot. If the audience in the live broadcast room learn about this, especially those who signed up but were not drawn, they would definitely swear.
It's so much that I deserve a beating. Others don't have the chance to play. And you're a waste of resources! You're going to be an otaku in Antarctica, but you dare to do it.
On the way back, I encountered wind and waves in the Indian Ocean, and the wind and waves four or five meters high were slapped on the icebreaker.
Even though the icebreaker was big enough, it was still shaking. Some tourists who kept saying that they would not be seasick would all slap in the face, and some people felt that they had lost half their lives.
On this trip, Xiao Hai took away more than ten tons of garbage accumulated by Zhongshan Station and took some mail back. When he returned to Haizhou City, the post office in Haizhou City will deal with it specifically.
In addition, more than a dozen rotational scientific research personnel also returned to their motherland.
One of them was in charge of the supplies escort of the icebreaker to Antarctica next time.
In fact, after Xiao Hai reached an agreement with the Antarctic Scientific Research Station, a large amount of supplies had begun to be transported to the dock of Haitang Town, waiting for the icebreaker to return to load the ship.
Xiao Hai said that after the icebreaker returned, he would set off again for a simple rest, refuel, supply supplies, etc. and would not stay for too long. He also knew that all scientific research stations in Antarctica needed supplies very much, so starting again earlier would be beneficial to all scientific research stations.
Xiao Hai didn't know that Haitang Town had accumulated hundreds of tons of supplies, making Haitang Town wharf miserable.
But the local government dare not say anything. This is an important material transported by the state to Antarctica. As a government department, no matter how unhappy it is, it has to hold it in.
Mayor Qian from Baidao Town and others learned that they should speed up the construction of roads and deep water wharfs.
They learned that every time the icebreaker sets off, it will transport hundreds of tons or even thousands of tons of supplies to the Antarctic. How much is that? It can directly fill their current docks.
Haitang Town has made it clear that this kind of material can be transferred to their Baidao Town in the future. For Haitang Town Wharf, the materials transported to Antarctica will be accumulated for too long, which is indeed a burden.
But these are what Baidao Town needs to develop a deep-water port. Otherwise, after the construction is completed, the goods will not go to their side, which is useless!
So, what else do they have to worry about?
Not only that, the city post office plans to establish an Antarctic mail transfer station in Baidao Town to specifically handle the mail brought or brought back by Xiao Hai's icebreaker.
It can be seen from this that the deep-water pier in Baidao Town has great achievements.
It has been more than a month since Xiao Hai and his friends went to Antarctica. During this period, Baidao Town almost completed the construction of that section of the road, and it is estimated that it will be opened to traffic in less than a few days.
In the past month, many things have happened, such as the headquarters of Zhou Jie’s auction company was officially completed and opened. On the day of its opening, important leaders from the town were present.
The Public Security Bureau and Industrial and Commercial Bureau of Haitang Town are almost completed. The industrial park, Xiao Hai's element extraction factory, was halfway through the first phase of the project, and the machine was officially installed. When Xiao Hai returns, it will officially start production.
On Shaxin Island, White Dolphin Square was officially completed a week after Xiao Hai set out for Antarctica. Now, every night, many people watch music fountains in the square.
Some citizens from the city even made a special trip to Sai Xin Island to watch the music fountain light show.
The third phase of the commercial street has completed two-thirds of the progress and is expected to be completed before the Chinese New Year, allowing all merchants to settle in.
The scale of the commercial street surprised many people who came to Sanxin Island to visit. Especially when they heard that half a year ago, Sanxin Island was still deserted and there was no building, they were even more incredible.
You know, the current Sand Island is completely the size of a small town! It only took half a year to build it, and the speed is first-class.
Museums, zoos, aquariums, amusement parks, etc. all look the same.
Especially in the amusement park, the roller coaster track that is more than 50 meters high has been erected, becoming the highest presence on the island except for those peaks. It is very conspicuous and it is difficult not to notice it.
I heard that it is not the tallest, and the Ferris wheel that hasn't started working has been more than 100 meters tall.
Liang Zhanye has told you that the amusement park will be completed and delivered within one year.
In addition, the passenger terminal of Saxin Island was also built a week ago and can be docked on large cruise ships, as well as many berths for private cruise ships, sailing and other ships.
In short, in the nearly two months since Xiao Hai went to Antarctica, both Haitang Town and Shaxin Island have changed.
Chapter completed!
