Chapter 234 Ice Shelf Collapse (4K, ask for a monthly pass)

   "The maximum speed of this car is 220 kilometers per hour, and the maximum load can reach 3000 tons; it uses a special axle and shock absorption design, which has strong adaptability to permafrost plains and various rough roads;

  The improved engine and anti-freeze equipment allow it to function properly in extremely cold temperatures; the fuel it uses requires special treatment, and when fully charged, it can travel about 1,000 kilometers with a load…”

  Wang Lei still introduced the functions of the car calmly.

   He is no stranger to these features.

   But when Lu Deshou and others on the scene listened, they felt more and more that something was wrong.

   Is this still a van?

   Three thousand tons of load?

   Can you drive a thousand kilometers?

  Is this car from aliens?

   And a 30-meter-long carriage has a load of 3,000 tons. On average, a 1-meter length can carry a load of 100 tons?

   It must be a stone, right?

   Everyone's eyes became more and more strange.

   But anyone can clearly know how weird this car is.

   Performance exaggeration aside, the key point is that there is no place for this kind of truck in the world now.

   Everyone whispered in private. Although we have done a preliminary inspection of the vehicle now, everyone knows that the technology it uses is indeed very advanced, but no one believes that this car can really achieve the performance that Wang Lei said.

   This is obviously made up!

   Only Lu Deshou took Wang Lei's words to heart.

   He looked around in the car, and soon found a lot of different marks—

   That is the trace of life.

  Some debris that fell into the crevices inadvertently, a few hairs in the corners, and even the smell left over from the car…

  Evidence and experience are telling him that this is indeed a car that has been used for a long time, and the driver is running long distances.

  Lu Deshou kept calm, and quickly walked around in the cockpit.

   Finally, ten minutes later, he walked up to Wang Lei again:

   "Let's go, let's go back and continue taking notes."

  Wang Lei nodded and walked back without saying anything.

  Lu Deshou also kept silent on the way back to the room, until after entering the room, he turned around immediately, motioned Wang Lei to sit down, and sat opposite him himself.

   "Would you mind telling me about you?"

  Wang Lei gave a rare smile: "That depends on what you want to know."

  Lu Deshou thought for a while and said, "Mutual Rescue Association."

   "The Mutual Rescue Association is a cross-time and space organization founded by President Zhang. The purpose is to unite and help each other, unite as one, and the purpose... You can understand it as saving people, saving more people in disasters, the more the better."

  Lu Deshou closed his eyelids slightly, "Who is that president?"

  Wang Lei gave him a strange look: "President Zhang is President Zhang."

   "Uh...where is he from? Do you know anything else about him?"

  Wang Lei shook his head, indicating that he did not know anything.

   "Well, what do you mean by saving people in disasters?"

   When Lu Deshou said this, he kept looking at Wang Lei, because he remembered correctly, this man just said that he was the captain of the trans-space rescue team.

The term    combined with the words just now always reminds people of some not-so-good things.

  Wang Lei said: "It literally means that we will arrive at a certain time and space where a disaster is about to happen, or has already happened, and then help the people there to overcome the disaster and rebuild order and homes."

  Lu Deshou listened to these words, but there was no expression on his face, and he continued to ask calmly: "Then according to what you mean, is there going to be a disaster in our time and space?"

  Wang Lei nodded.

  Lu Deshou smiled, "Then do you want to predict our next destiny?"

   This time Wang Lei chose to shake his head.

   "Then tell me, what disaster will happen next here?"

  Wang Lei still shook his head, but this time he added another sentence: "I know, but the level is not enough, your level is not enough, and my level is not enough. Saying such things will only create unnecessary variables for the plan."

   Looking at his calm expression, Lu Deshou did not bother, but turned to the next topic:

   "Then what did you mean by space-time No. 3?"

   "We are the third time and space to join the Mutual Rescue Society."

   "So, you were also helped by the Mutual Rescue Association?" Lu Deshou has completely substituted his own logic into Wang Lei's words, and soon discovered the hidden information in it.

"Yes."

   "Would you mind talking about the situation of your time and space?"

   "Yes, this is not confidential content..."

   Soon, Wang Lei talked about the situation of wandering time and space.

And Lu Deshou listened to Wang Lei's narration, and kept a calm face from beginning to end. Only the pen in his hand would quickly record various information points on the paper, and he would ask a few questions from time to time to go deeper. to understand.

   After a while, Wang Lei stopped to take a sip of water and signaled that he had finished speaking.

  Lu Deshou also put down his pen, looking at the information he wrote down on several sheets of paper, he couldn't help but applaud.

   "Wonderful narration."

   "The content is novel, the logic is rigorous, and it can be said to be imaginative."

   I don't know if this sentence is sarcasm or Lu Deshou's sincerity. After he finished speaking, he sorted out the paper and left the room directly.

   After closing the door, Lu Deshou did not leave in a hurry, but stopped in place for a while, still holding the recorded information tightly in his hand.

   His mood was far less calm than in front of Wang Lei.

   This thing is so weird, there is fog everywhere.

   He went to other rooms to ask other members of the task force, and the answers he got were pretty similar, and everyone's answers were highly consistent.

   "These people are playing us like fools!"

   "Are they writing us novels here!?"

The members of the    task force were all filled with righteous indignation. It was the first time they had seen such an "arrogant" person.

   And Lu Deshou listened silently before he stopped everyone's words.

"All right."

   "Today's work is here first. Take these people to rest. You should continue to look after them tonight. I have other work to do."

   Everyone was a little stunned.

   "Take them to rest?"

   "Aren't you going to boil them tonight?"

   Everyone was surprised by this decision, and they were ready to chat with those people until dawn tonight.

  Lu Deshou shook his head and emphasized again: "No need, there is a high probability that there is no foreign interference here, let them rest."

"okay then."

  The crowd had to disperse under the order of Lu Deshou.

   And Lu Deshou did not go home to rest.

   As he just said, he does have other jobs.

   With the information he just wrote down, Lu Deshou went back to his office, did some sorting, and made a report in advance by phone.

   After obtaining permission, Lu Deshou left the office building directly by car before it was too late to compile the information just obtained into a complete document.

  …

   South Pole.

  Jack had arrived at the mission location and planted his own flag in the bitter wind.

   Then he, Jensen, and another old colleague, Frank, began to set up the drilling site, preparing to install various machines and his own tent.

   They have only a few days to carry out this mission.

  During the mission, Frank suddenly raised his head and let out a hot breath: "Jack, look over there, those people just now, they are on the same road with us."

  Jack raised his head and glanced in the direction Frank was pointing at. Sure enough, he saw the black team on the snow-white ice field.

   "That's quite a coincidence."

  Jack didn't take it to heart, but focused on his task.

  Frank looked at the distance for a while, but also felt bored, and continued to devote himself to the task.

   He and Jack are both old partners. The two have worked together for more than 20 years. They have a good understanding of each other. With the help of Jason, the camp was quickly set up.

   Then began to install the ice core drilling rig.

   Jensen, who has just worked with Jack for two years, has almost no experience in this field, so he can only watch the two operate from the side.

   The machine starts to assemble at a slow pace.

   Behind them, Liu Chunshi is also organizing people to quickly sample the ice surface.

   They're much easier on Jack in this regard.

   The meteorological department of Wandering Time and Space has a special ice field sampling vehicle. The operator does not even need to go to the ground, and it is enough to operate directly from the vehicle.

   And from drilling to sampling to testing, the entire process can be done in the car.

  Liu Chunshi and other meteorologists were blowing the heater in the car, holding a tea jar, and quickly compared the Antarctic difference between the two time and space.

   Zhang Tianyuan waited quietly, occasionally using binoculars in the car to look at the mission site of Jack and the others not far ahead.

   At the same time, be prepared to transfer at any time in your mind.

  Although the location they are currently in should be a safe area, but they are not afraid of 10,000...

   was fascinated.

   Suddenly Liu Chunshi's voice came.

   "President, the preliminary comparison has been completed."

   Zhang Tianyuan turned around and saw Liu Chunshi closing the document.

   "How is the situation? Can you find theoretical support for polar melting?"

  Liu Chunshi shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not so fast, but we found that the temperature of the South Pole in this space-time is several times higher than ours in the same period of time and space."

   "In our time and space, the Antarctic temperature in 2002 only increased by about 2°C compared to the previous fifty years, but in this time and space, from the first fifty years to the present, the Antarctic temperature has risen by a full 6°C..."

   "So, the rise in temperature is the main reason?"

   "It is possible that in our time and space, a rise of just 2°C will cause thousands of kilometers of ice shelves to collapse, and in this space-time a rise of 6°C, it is not surprising that anything will happen."

   What is this world doing?

  How could the temperature rise so sharply?

   Zhang Tianyuan was a little bit incomprehensible.

   However, he understands the impending disaster in the time and space of the day after tomorrow.

   The polar temperature has risen by 6 degrees, which may not sound like much, but if you think about the difference between 18 degrees and 12 degrees, you can understand how big the difference is.

   As Liu Chunshi said, no matter what happens at this temperature, it is not surprising.

   "Keep exploring, the more information we can have in these days, the better..."

   As he was talking, Zhang Tianyuan suddenly felt that the whole car was shaking, as if there was an earthquake.

   Others in the car were also taken aback.

"what happened?"

  The driver checks the condition of the vehicle at the first time.

   Zhang Tianyuan suddenly remembered something, stood up and quickly looked out with the binoculars.

   Then he saw that at Jack's camp, at some point in time, they had arranged the drilling rig and began to drill ice core samples.

   And, most importantly—

  On the rig, there is only one person operating it!

   Zhang Tianyuan put down the telescope, feeling that he could already see what was going to happen next.

  The Jensen, who was running the machine, would stay put, bewildered, and then sink with the broken ice, before being pulled up by Jack and another colleague.

   Immediately afterwards, Jack will show his great power. In order to keep the ice core samples that have been obtained, he will jump twice in the cracked canyon, go back and forth, and bring the samples back to him.

  The plot has already begun!

  Although Zhang Tianyuan was already mentally prepared for it when he met Jack and the others, he still didn't expect that it would be so fast.

  He thought there would be a few days of buffering…

   Now it seems that there are not even a few days left.

  Click—

   At this moment, a crack visible to the naked eye spread rapidly on the ice surface. From Zhang Tianyuan's point of view, it was like a lightning bolt rapidly passing through the entire ice sheet and through Jack's camp.

   and then a long shot!

   Zhang Tianyuan felt a shock under his feet, and saw that the ice surface not far away quickly collapsed, and a long canyon gradually emerged from the broken ice.

  Jack's camp turned directly into a cliff. Within two steps from the trailer, there was a huge ice abyss, and on the opposite side was a huge iceberg that had broken with the main body of the ice shelf and gradually accelerated away.

   Liu Chunshi and others stared blankly at this scene.

   It was the first time they saw such a spectacular sight, but soon they all said in unison:

   "Save people!"

   Without Zhang Tianyuan speaking, a soldier immediately opened the door and jumped down, wearing the special boots of the icefield and running towards Jack's camp.

   Zhang Tianyuan didn't move so fast, but he also jumped out of the car and followed, lest any accidents happen to these soldiers.

   Liu Chunshi still had lingering fears about the scene just now. Seeing Zhang Tianyuan jumping out of the car, he didn't have the heart to do any more research, so he went with him.

   By the time Zhang Tianyuan arrived, the situation at the scene had stabilized.

  Dumb Jason was rescued by Jack and Frank, and then Jack jumped across the crack to rescue the ice core sample, and then was hugged and rescued by the soldiers who heard the news when he jumped back.

   As in the movie, all three survived.

"How is this going?"

   Looking at the cracks that stretched out for unknown lengths on the left and right sides, Jensen remembered that he almost fell into the abyss just now, and suddenly fell to the ground in fright.

   "The whole ice shelf is cracked!"

   "This is an unprecedented event!"

   Frank gasped and shouted.

   And Jack was lost in thought...

   At this moment, Zhang Tianyuan suddenly said: "Now get out of here as soon as possible."

   All of a sudden, the three woke up.

   "Yes, yes, we have to leave this dangerous place right now!"

   A Great Rift Valley has broken out in front of them, and the place where they are standing now may also collapse at any time.

   The three quickly got into the car with the help of the members of the Mutual Rescue Association, and then drove the car to the side of Zhang Tianyuan's motorcade before they were relieved.

   Until this time, everyone looked back at the place just now.

   The split ice is rapidly moving away, and in the process, the island-sized ice block is constantly breaking down.

  In the sky, the icebergs fell into the sea below like dumplings in the sky. After they plunged in, they quickly surfaced against the sea water and air bubbles. The scene was very spectacular.

   Zhang Tianyuan looked at the distant iceberg and fell into contemplation.

   There is not much time left for them to act.

   Tomorrow will definitely rise!
