Treasure Hunt: I Can Possess Infinitely

Chapter 80 The Sudden Earthquake

The leader of the team was a man in his 50s, a well-known geologist named Fang Zhiyuan.

"Let's welcome Xiao Chu." Fang Zhiyuan smiled and applauded.

Although Chu Wen was the one who was brought in by Professor Yun, he didn't mind taking Chu Wen out for fun by the way.Some of the things that Chu Wen helped transport this time were urgently needed by him.

That's why he's so polite.

Apart from Chu Wen, not all of them studied geology, but also mineralogy, and "guides" who knew more about Antarctica.

The guide carried a gun with him. Although there are restrictions in the "Antarctic Treaty", it doesn't mean that Antarctica is very peaceful!

Therefore, on the surface, Fang Zhiyuan is in command of the team, but in fact, everyone has to listen to the guide Pang Dashan for how to go.

There was a round of applause.

If you don't give Chu Wen face, you have to give Professor Fang face!

"I'm causing trouble for everyone." Chu Wen saluted everyone slightly.

Everyone present knew about Chu Wen's identity. He wasn't very enthusiastic, but he didn't hate him.

Pang Dashan patted Chu Wen's shoulder: "It can be seen that you have practiced before. If you are in danger then, I need your help, brother."

"Brother Pang is polite, if you have any orders, just say it."

"Haha! Refreshing, I like it."

A group of people left the scientific research station and set off in one direction. What they were going to was a mountain range more than 40 kilometers away, to conduct research on the geology of that mountain range, and find some mineral specimens by the way.

On the bright side, no one can develop Antarctic resources.

But everyone knows that Antarctica is rich in mineral resources and will be a treasure house of metals for mankind in the future.

Especially iron ore, the iron ore located in the Antarctic continent is rich in reserves and high in iron grade.

In addition, it is the largest coal field in the world.Oil, natural gas, etc. are not in the minority.

Just like this, even though Antarctica is cold and barren, and it is not a place where humans live, countries still focus on this piece of fat. One by one, in the name of scientific research, they first investigate the situation of the Antarctic continent. It is convenient to start later.

The team brought a lot of things, and the road was a little far away, so they dispatched snowmobiles.Of course, according to Pang Dashan's introduction, snowmobiles can only go for a certain distance, and I dare not use snowmobiles for the next section.

"The most frightening thing here is not the bad weather, but the cracks in the ice, and there is almost no chance of surviving if you fall. So, everyone, don't run around, follow my footsteps." Pang Dashan reminded again.

"Yes! You must follow Xiaopang's instructions." Professor Fang also nodded.

He said that due to the action of gravity, the movement of the ice sheet to the bottom of the arc cracks the ice layer, and the ice sheet is densely covered with innumerable ice cracks hidden under the white snow that cannot be seen by the naked eye.These crevasses that criss-cross the plain are more terrifying than snowstorms.

These thousand-meter-deep ice crevices that gradually change from white to blue emit white gas, like opened magic bottles. The expedition team called them "the gates of hell", that is, if they fall, they will be doomed, and there is no way to save them. .

The most dangerous thing is that there is a thin layer of ice called an ice bridge on some ice crevasses. People on the ice can't see whether there is an ice crevasse below. Only when people or vehicles pass by will they collapse.

Even Chu Wen didn't dare to take it too seriously, and nodded in response: "Understood."

After a while, Chu Wen and the others completely walked out of the scope of the scientific research station, and they could no longer see the scientific research station.Seven or eight kilometers away from the mountain range, the snowmobile was temporarily parked in a place close to the wind.

"Okay, don't watch it, keep going! This kind of thing happens every day in Antarctica." Professor Fang also carried his things on his back, leaning on a stick in both hands.

Not far away, a sea lion was eating a cute penguin.The main reason was that the penguin was not completely dead yet. Looking at Chu Wen and the others, the soft-hearted people would feel somewhat unbearable when they saw this scene.

"Yes! Don't interfere with the laws of nature here." Pang Dashan has worked here for several years, and some things have long been used to him.

While walking, Professor Fang told Chu Wen and others that the mountain range was not big and had not attracted the attention of scientific researchers from other countries for the time being, but it contained very rich minerals and other resources.

"Moreover, the geological structure of that mountain range is very special, which is of great research value to me," Professor Fang said.

It is said that they cannot occupy the territory, but why didn't they mean to regard that mountain range as their own?
Countries are actually very tacit understanding, tacit things.Especially countries like the United States don't take the Antarctic Treaty to heart at all.

People can turn a blind eye to the resolutions of the United Nations, so why not abide by your little "Antarctic Treaty"?In this world, to put it bluntly, big fists are king.

Chu Wen chuckled and understood.

Pang Dashan was exploring the way ahead, and the people behind him followed him closely.

"Did you see that flag? There's a terrifying crevasse in the ice, we have to go around it." Pang Dashan pointed to a flag on the right ahead.

He didn't tell everyone that the ice block cost them two lives, and they couldn't even get their bodies back.

At this moment, Chu Wen and the others suddenly felt a shaking, and everyone's first reaction was an earthquake.

That's right!There is no shortage of earthquakes and volcanoes in Antarctica.

Suddenly, there was a click at the foot of Pang Da Mountain, and a crack appeared on the ice, which made everyone run away subconsciously.Pang Dashan quickly shouted: "Don't run around, move to the left."

A graduate student who had just walked two steps out screamed.

Chu Wen took two quick steps, grabbed him, and threw him to the left.The buddy was thrown on the ice immediately, and his nosebleeds flowed out from the impact.

However, he did not lose his temper at Chu Wen, but looked at Chu Wen gratefully, lying on the ground and not daring to get up.

I saw a crack one meter wide where he was standing just now, and the bottom could not be seen.It's hard to imagine that if it wasn't for Chu Wen's quick hands, that guy would have fallen in.

Pang Dashan applauded loudly: "Chu Wen, good job. Everyone move to the left."

In fact, without his reminder, most people also quickly walked to the left.Really terrified.

Chu Wen didn't care about that much, and Ye Qianwen hurriedly left the place while she was still a little dazed.Then he yelled to his buddies who were still lying on the ice: "Don't lie on your stomach, roll over there."

The buddy was also obedient, he didn't stand up, and rolled quickly.

The earthquake came suddenly and went quickly.In just a few seconds, the ground stopped shaking.Chu Wen and the others turned their heads and saw several shocking cracks appeared in front of the ice surface on the right, extending into the distance.

"Brother Chu, thank you just now." The buddy got up and thanked Chu Wen first.

"You're welcome!"
