Don’t judge a book by its cover, and the same goes for fish. You never know how delicious it is unless you try it.
"Senior, you caught another big fish!"
Seeing Xia Yu coming back from outside with a toothfish, Jiang Baiying said with drool.
Xia Yu has been cooking for the past two days, and she has made up for all the shortcomings of the past few years.
"The catch was pretty good, right? Do you know what kind of fish this is?"
The evil Xia directly took the credit from Fat Tiger and put it on himself.
"It looks like a toothfish. I know this kind of fish."
Jiang Baiying knows as much about Antarctica as Xia Yu does, so this kind of question is not difficult for her.
"So do you want it steamed or braised?"
"Can I have three ways to eat one fish? This fish is so big."
Jiang Baiying gestured the length of the fish and bargained with Xia Yu.
Xia Yu had no way to deal with this little glutton. It was just one fish in three ways, so he just did it.
That night, steamed lemon toothfish, French cream-fried toothfish, and a pot of toothfish broth were served on the table together.
The taste was really great, but Jiang Baiying had a small stomach. Although she said she was greedy, she didn't eat much.
Xia Yu did not waste the extra food. He kept a few portions in the storage space and took them back for his parents and senior classmates to try. He let the maids share the rest.
Life on the boat was plain and warm. If it weren't for the glacier in front of him, Xia Yu really wanted to just drift down.
Antarctica, finally arrived.
I saw a black spot in the distance, and when I raised the telescope, I realized that it was a group of emperor penguins, which are also the largest species in the penguin family and appear frequently in the animal world. I didn't expect to encounter this group of star penguins just after arriving in Antarctica and before getting off the boat.
Xia Yu withdrew his gaze and looked at the big head that was exposed above the sea in front of him on the left.
Fat Tiger seems to be very interested in this group of emperor penguins. Although this is her first time in Antarctica, who knows if their ancestors are Antarctic killer whales?
The recipe is something engraved in the genes and is difficult to resist, so Xia Yu has no intention of stopping it.
Survival of the fittest, only those who are cute have a chance of being spared.
What about the emperor penguins in Fat Tiger’s eyes?
Cute, want to eat!
Now that they have reached Antarctica, it is time for them to go ashore.
"Captain Hannah, we must get through that ice belt."
Xia Yu came to the cab, and Jiang Baiying had just rushed over from the cabin at the back.
"Antarctica has the most floating ice in the summer, and the extent of the floating ice decreases in the winter, but the thickness will become thicker. With the arrival of the polar night, our current location will also be frozen."
Hannah spent several years in Antarctica and she knows the climate here.
"As long as they are not three-meter-thick old ones, the Polaris can easily fracture them."
Xia Yu was clear about the performance of the Polaris.
"Look, once we've crossed that ice belt and sent you to the ice shelf, we'll retreat back here. If anything goes wrong, call for backup immediately."
"Well, keep in touch. I'll send you the location every hour."
In this expedition, the Polarstern serves as an icebreaker, and its purpose is to deploy and evacuate personnel and supplies. It is impossible for Xia Yu to drive it all the way to the South Pole.
Once they reach the Antarctic continent, they will have to rely more on themselves.
A snowmobile that Xia Yu personally participated in modifying, and five sleds loaded with supplies.
He actually wanted to use a dog sled. Xia Yu was deeply impressed by the eight sled dogs in the movie "Antarctic Adventure".
It turns out that Huskies can be so smart, and dog sledding can be so cool.
Unfortunately, sled dogs have been banned from Antarctica since 1991, and humans have begun to widely use snowmobiles and snowmobiles.
“Click~click~~”
Under the tremendous force of the Polaris, the frozen ice broke into cracks, and the propeller pushed the icebreaker forward.
“That’s amazing!”
Jiang Baiying lay on the bow of the boat and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"That's why every country builds icebreakers."
Xia Yu came to Jiang Baiying's side.
"We're about to land, are you ready?"
"Ready!"
Jiang Baiying answered firmly.
Half an hour later, the Polaris finally arrived at the edge of the ice shelf. Hannah carefully steered the Polaris and stopped sideways next to the ice shelf.
After observing around, they chose this location that was least likely to collapse as the landing point.
"Buzz~~"
The crane at the stern of the ship first lifted the snowmobile and transported it to the ice shelf which was higher than the ship's deck, followed by the fully armed Xia Yu and Xiao Jiang.
The actual temperature was minus 49.3 degrees Celsius, and both of them were dressed warmly. In such an environment, the relatively exposed parts of the body are very susceptible to frostbite.
It doesn't matter that Xia Yu is thick-skinned, but Xiao Jiang must not get frozen. He brought her here safely, and he must bring her back safely.
Rising to a height parallel to the ice shelf, Xia Yu took the first step and stood on this ancient and pure land.
Behind him, Jiang Baiying also stood up. His long-cherished wish finally came true. All the words in his heart were summed up in one sentence: Senior, you are so nice!
People are evil. Jiang Baiying only saw the good in Xia Yu but not his bad.
"Xiao Jiang, stay away first. I'll drive the car over."
After all the sleds were transported to the ice shelf, Xia Yu tied them together with ropes and tied them to the snowmobile, then waved to Xiao Jiang to stay away.
Jiang Baiying ran with him and stopped in the distance, just like the Arctic hare he saw in the Arctic.
Humph, I’m obviously Tigger.
After getting in the car and starting the engine, Xia Yu drove the snowmobile about ten meters towards the inside of the ice shelf before asking Xiao Jiang to get in.
