The Wilkes land is a vast ice field. From 1838 to 1842, the American Wilkes first arrived and named after him.

Li Du didn't know much about this place. He dared to go here just to give Steve a complete face.

The booklet records some precautions for living in Antarctica in this season. Li Du has never been to Antarctica. He feels that Antarctica is a piece of white ice, which is particularly cold.

But according to the booklet, Antarctica is not cold now, and it can basically be maintained at around zero degrees Celsius during the day, and wearing ordinary winter clothes can keep warm.

Of course, if you encounter an ice storm, the temperature will drop very badly. Fortunately, the chance of such ice storm occurring in the warm season is very low.

The main things to be prepared in the brochure are clothing and sunscreen. When living in Antarctica, you need down jackets, waterproof pants, waterproof gloves, sweaters, warm hats, sunglasses, and a windbreaker should be worn on the outside.

There are some such clothes in the cabin, but they may not fit. Li Du decided to buy a few sets in Hobart.

The clothes worn in Antarctica do not need to be too thick, but they need to be close to the body and keep warm, so they must fit, otherwise the clothes will easily get cold air if they don’t fit.

There are winter clothes prepared for tourists to Antarctica in Hobart's shopping mall. When they were short-sleeved outside, they kept a bunch of thick clothes, which was awkward no matter how they looked.

After getting on the plane, they started to change clothes. The air conditioner in the plane was very refrigerated, with the purpose of allowing them to feel the temperature of Antarctica in advance.

The group gradually added clothes. After they woke up, the plane was covered with endless white!

"At the South Pole?" Li Du asked in surprise, "My God, this ice sheet is so big and white!"

A random bodyguard said: "Sir, this is not an ice cap, it is a neat and flat cloud."

Sophie laughed: "You're stupid? We just closed our eyes for a while, can we reach Antarctica?"

"However, Antarctica has indeed arrived." The bodyguard said again.

Sophie couldn't laugh anymore, and Brother Wolf shook his head helplessly: "Can't you finish the words at once?"

After flying for less than half an hour, the plane began to land.

There is a natural runway on the ice cap, and the place where the plane chooses to land is very flat. However, due to the small friction resistance, the plane has to glide forward after landing on the ice field. Only when the plane glides far away will it indicate signs of slowing down.

Li Du looked out from the machine window and saw that the scenery outside was meaningless, just a large area of ​​snow-white, exactly the same snow-white. In the distance, the earth was raising up in some places. The snow-capped mountains are the only landscape here.

Brother Wolf handed him the goggles: "Boss, be careful."

Li Du nodded and expressed his understanding that he should not keep an eye on the snow for too long, otherwise he would suffer from snow blindness.

Steve and Elson and others were waiting for them at the end, driving an ice sled, which looked a bit like the first half of a hand-held tractor, and looked quite interesting.

After meeting, Steve gave Li Du a warm hug and smiled: "I didn't expect we would meet here, which was really unexpected."

Elson added from the side: "This is fate, Steve, you and Lee are really destined."

This is not nonsense. Li Du also feels so. He didn't know the news that Steve came to Antarctica, but the two sides met.

After getting on the ice sled car, Steve took them to walk around the large ice sheet first to help them get familiar with the environment.

However, this is useless. Li Du looked at the ice cap area the same and could not tell where it was.

It was not until the ice sled car drove far away that he discovered a different color: a piece of gray-yellow land appeared in his sight.

"Along the way, there are oceans, there are many penguins and seals there. If you are interested, I will take them to see them another day. As for now, let's go for dinner first." Steve turned around from the car and said.

The sun was still hanging high in the sky. Li Du looked out his watch and saw that it was 9:30 in the evening!

This season, the ice sheets in some places in Antarctica will melt, revealing the land below.

Steve's residence is a large colorful container of containers that are arranged side by side and deeply rooted in the ice using steel structures.

The outside of the box is an insulation layer. After opening the door, the temperature inside is suitable. Compared with the ice and snow world outside, there are two spaces.

The box has a large space, with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, with multiple windows on both sides, and some green plants are growing thriving near the window.

"Welcome to Steve's Antarctic House." Steve opened his hands and laughed, "Please feel free, don't change your shoes, don't be polite. If you want to visit, Mr. Steve is happy to be a tour guide."

Li Du took off his thick coat and said, "There is no need to visit, so let's take a break quickly. But I read the online news before and said that there is no artificial residence in Wilkes?"

Steve shrugged and said, "Of course there is no external publicity. In fact, there are more things in Antarctica than you expected."

Sophie was silent for a moment and said, "It seems that the government is not honest with her people."

Steve smiled and said, "When will the government be honest? Don't pin your hopes on the government."

Li Du waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say these useful or useless things. What are you doing here in Antarctica this time? Let's talk about the important things."

Steve said: "It's okay, Lee, we are in Antarctica now, and no government can monitor this place yet. Our dear America is not good either, so if you have anything to say, you can just say it here."

Li Du did not hesitate and immediately turned around and hugged Sophie: "What I want to say is, my dear, I love you, just like the ice and snow here love to embrace their land. I want to be with you, and be together forever..."

Sophie smiled and buried her face in his arms, and said shyly: "So I..."

Steve couldn't stand it anymore and quickly said, "Okay OK, let me tell you the answer. I'm here to find meteorites. My God, can you stop this? Can you stop irritating me on purpose?"

Li Du achieved his goal and let Sophie go with satisfaction.

Sophie was dissatisfied and reached out to grab him and said angrily: "Hey, what are you doing? Use me? After playing with me, I will abandon me at will?"

Steve's face turned green: "Please, please, I beg you, don't irritate me like this. I know you are very loving, but there is no need to show off in front of me, right? We are friends, you can't hurt me like this!"

Li Du glanced at him sideways and said, "You know how powerful we are? Well, let's talk about the serious business, are you looking for meteorites in Antarctica? Why are you looking for meteorites?"

Steve asked him to sit down and asked without answering a question: "Do you know about extra-star meteorites? Do you know there is a large crater here?"
