The plane slowly landed at the airport in Gangcheng, and Xiao Zhen and Sarah walked down the gangway hand in hand.
The unique atmosphere of the port city hits him in the face, the bustling hustle and bustle is intertwined with the familiar fireworks. Xiao Zhen's heart is full of emotion, as this place carries too many of his memories and struggles.
As soon as I walked out of the corridor, I saw Xie Chengrun, Rina and Ivanka looking forward to it.
Xie Chengrun wore simple and capable casual clothes with a bright smile; Reina wore a fashionable dress, elegant and smart; Ivanka was full of aura, and her every move showed confidence.
"Honey, you're so fast!" Xie Chengrun walked up quickly and shook Xiao Zhen's hand enthusiastically.
"Thank you for your hard work, dear." Rina and Ivanka also came forward with smiles on their faces to greet you.
Sarah looked at the heartwarming scene in front of her, and was infected by the warmth, with the corners of her mouth rising unconsciously.
Afterwards, everyone went to the dock and boarded the magnificent "Zhennan" super yacht.
The yacht is like a palace on the sea. The white hull sparkles in the sun. The spacious deck is furnished with comfortable lounge chairs and exquisite parasols. The sea breeze blows gently, making it extremely comfortable.
The yacht slowly left the port and headed towards the waves of the South Pacific.
Xiao Zhen stood on the deck, looking at the boundless sea, the fatigue and confusion in his heart gradually being swept away by the sea breeze.
In the following days, the "Zhennan" shuttled between the beautiful islands in the South Pacific.
The private resort islands in Fiji are like a paradise on earth with their white and fine sand beaches, swaying coconut trees and crystal clear waters.
Xiao Zhen and Sarah strolled along the beach, leaving behind a trail of footprints; Xie Chengrun, Rina and Ivanka either played in the shallows or dived into the sea to dance with the colorful tropical fish.
In Tahiti, everyone tasted local specialties and enjoyed the passionate hula dance.
At night, we sat around the campfire and shared our stories.
Xiao Zhen recalled his years of hard work in various fields during his youth, those thrilling moments and countless days and nights of perseverance, which made everyone fascinated; Sarah talked about the customs and folkways of Jordan and court anecdotes, which made everyone yearn for the mysterious country; Reina shared the interesting stories of growing up with Odin, and mentioned Odin’s happy life after marriage with Spanish Crown Princess Leonor, as well as their lovely children, and was full of comfort; Ivanka talked about the bits and pieces of the south and north of the town, and her words were full of motherly love.
After leaving Tahiti, the yacht continued southward, heading towards Antarctica.
As we get closer to the South Pole, the temperature gradually drops and icebergs of various shapes begin to appear on the sea surface. They sparkle with a faint blue light under the sunlight, like a dream.
Finally, the "Zhennan" arrived in the waters near Antarctica.
Everyone transferred to a small icebreaker and headed towards Huashan Station in Antarctica.
The scenery in Antarctica is spectacular and shocking. The vast ice fields are pure white. Groups of penguins are playing cutely on the ice, sometimes pacing unsteadily, and sometimes diving into the cold sea to catch fish; seals are lying lazily on the ice to bask in the sun, oblivious to everything around them.
When the icebreaker approached Huashan Station, the scientific researchers at the station were already waiting on the shore and warmly welcomed Xiao Zhen and his group.
Huashan Station, as an important scientific research base invested and built by Xiao Zhen's joint research institute in Antarctica, undertakes many scientific research projects.
Led by scientific researchers, Xiao Zhen visited the various facilities and laboratories in the station.
He carefully inquired about the progress of the scientific research projects and was amazed at the spirit of the scientific researchers who stayed at their posts and made silent contributions in difficult environments.
In the laboratory, researchers presented their research results on Antarctic ecological environment, climate change and other aspects. Xiao Zhen listened carefully to the explanations, put forward unique insights from time to time, and had in-depth exchanges and discussions with the researchers.
After leaving Huashan Station, the group went to visit the "Princess Sarah Station" in the Kingdom of Jordan, which was invested and built by Osa.
This scientific research station was invested and built by Osa and named after Princess Sarah, which is full of his love for scientific research and respect for his mother.
After a 40-minute propeller plane flight, they arrived at Princess Sarah Station. Upon learning of the arrival of his father, Sarah, and the others, Osa arranged for someone to be waiting at the airport.
Huang Yunxi is unable to travel long distances due to her pregnancy, so she expressed her greetings and blessings to everyone through video.
"Academician, welcome to Princess Sarah Station." The head of the base shook Xiao Zhen's hand tightly, his eyes full of joy.
"Yusuf, long time no see. You have lost weight. You should take care of your health." Xiao Zhen said with concern.
Afterwards, everyone headed to the "Princess Sarah Station." Located near Taishan Station and Huashan Station, the station boasts a variety of advanced equipment parked in an orderly fashion, and staff members busy and focused, demonstrating their professionalism and rigorous attitude.
Under the guidance of Yusuf, Xiao Zhen and his party visited the command center, scientific research area, living area and other areas of the space station.
Yusuf gave a detailed introduction to the construction process, functions and future plans of the scientific research station, saying that this is not only an important milestone in scientific research in the Arab region, but also a model of international cooperation. It will explore the mysteries of Antarctica through cooperation with various countries and contribute to human development.
After the visit, a grand dinner was held at the research station. The table was filled with Jordanian specialties and fine wines, and everyone sat together and toasted to celebrate.
At the dinner, Xiao Zhen gave a speech: "Scientific research is the dream of common progress for all mankind, and it connects us closely.
Whether it's scientific exploration in Antarctica or the endless journey into space, we are all working for the future of humanity. I hope we can continue to work together, pioneer innovations, and expand humanity's footprints throughout the universe."
The dinner ended and this extraordinary Antarctic polar trip was also coming to an end.
Xiao Zhen, Sarah and others bid farewell to Yusuf and the staff and embarked on their journey back to the South Pacific.
On the plane returning to the yacht, Xiao Zhen looked out the window at the night sky, feeling a mixture of emotions.
During this trip, he appreciated the magnificence of nature and witnessed the development of polar scientific research.
He believes that in the future, whether in scientific exploration or daily life, everyone will continue to move forward and create more brilliance.
Five people sat side by side on a row of lounge chairs chatting on the beach of a Tahiti resort villa
"Hubby, how long will it take for Zhenxi to file the marriage report?" Xie Chengrun asked, sitting next to Xiao Zhen.
"Zhenxi is only 23, it's too early. She must be 25 to file a marriage report. The army has regulations!" Xiao Zhen explained.
"Honey, Xie, are you a little worried seeing your youngest Odin getting married and having kids?" Ivanka, who always had a different opinion from Xie Chengrun, said.
"I do have some concerns about this. Weiyi and Jiadong are married, and they don't want to have children so early. Well, to be honest, I envy you guys a little bit. By the way, when will Yunxi give birth?" Xie Chengrun turned to ask Sarah
"Probably around May!" Sarah responded
"Honey, where are you spending the New Year this year?" Reina asked.
"Let's all go to Parma Cliff Manor. Yunxi is about to give birth, so she will stay in Parma for the next six months. This will be convenient for her to provide guidance and training to the personnel under Osa's aerospace technology." Xiao Zhen stood up and said
