Chapter 1165: 1165. Warm Invitation (4/5)

Chapter 1165 1165. Warm Invitation (45)

Seeing venomous snakes being caught out and writhing on the ground, Li's father, Li's mother and others were so frightened that their scalps went numb.

Ah Meng showed a happy expression, ran to pick up a poisonous snake and ran away, the poisonous snake opened its mouth and bit it, it turned back and took a bite, bit the poisonous snake into several pieces, and ate them one by one...

Honey badgers are good at dealing with poisonous snakes, Li Du is thinking whether to get a boatload of honey badgers from Africa to the island, and let the honey badgers deal with the snakes.

Of course, this is just thinking about it. It is impossible for Australian customs to allow so many honey badgers to enter the country. After all, this country is the biggest victim of alien species invasion.

However, honey badgers are really suitable for dealing with poisonous snakes. Ah Meng was a little full after eating two sea snakes, one big and one small, but Ah Meow found out that he didn't let go of any of these poisonous snakes and killed them all. .

During the killing of the poisonous snake, Ah Meng himself was bitten several times, then staggered a few steps, as if he was drunk, returned to Li Du's feet, and lay down on the ground.

Li Du checked and found that Ah Meng was fine, it was asleep.

Just like when he picked up Ah Meng for the first time, the little guy fell asleep, no matter how much he teased and called it, it didn't respond, as if someone was drunk.

Li Du suddenly realized that when he first picked up Ah Meng in Africa, it had a fight with a poisonous snake in the bushes and got drunk with its venom.

He and Brother Lang went in to look for Heiti, and Mother Li was very worried: "Forget it Xiao Du, forget it, let's not eat grapes anymore, anyway, these grapes don't belong to our family."

It really belongs to our family, Li Du thought silently in his heart.

With Ah Meow guarding you, you don’t have to worry about poisonous snakes. Its explosive power is stronger than poisonous snakes, and its eyes are very good, so you can spot poisonous snakes faster.

Even if you are bitten by a sea snake, you are not afraid. Li Du came here this time and made all the preparations, bringing a variety of medical serums, all of which are specially designed to deal with sea snakes.

The number of wild black grapes is large, the area is large, and it spreads freely, covering dozens of hectares. Li Du thinks that he can develop a wine business on the island in the future.

Although few black grapes are ripe now, you can still get some ripe grapes by choosing this way.

Brother Wolf picked black grapes and asked: "Boss, are you interested in cultivating new grape varieties? You see, these wild grapes have developed different growth methods."

"What's the difference? Is it different?" Li Du asked in surprise.

Brother Wolf said: "Growing time, they violate the season. There should not be grapes ripening in this season."

Now many wineries in the world are cultivating off-season grapes, not for food, but to make the plants better cold-resistant. The greater the temperature difference, the more sugar the grapes can accumulate.

Li Du shook his head: "I'd better concentrate on my gems."

He didn't understand what Brother Wolf said, so he didn't think he was good at these things.

They went back with some black grapes, and they had fruit to eat in the evening. In addition, there were some grapes left over. Father Li and Mother Li decided to make wine by themselves.

The wine in Li Du's hometown is different from the wines that are often drunk in Europe and the United States. It is not dry red and dry white, not desugared, but full of sugar, which is fermented grape juice.

This kind of wine is more like a drink. Unless the fermentation is intense, the alcohol content is relatively low. In Li Du's hometown, even women drink two glasses before meals.

After setting up a tent by the sea at night, Li Du was going to put his left arm on Sophie and his right hand on Ameow and Aow, and then have a good sleep.

This was the first time he slept on the island after Sand Gull Island belonged to him, and the meaning was completely different.

Li Du had never bought a house before, and he didn't have any real estate. This was his first real estate, and it was paid in full. It belonged to him completely, so he felt very secure staying on his own land.

As a result, after lying down for a while, Brother Wolf came over and called him up, saying that Steve had called from Antarctica, and it was the satellite phone on the yacht.

Li Du answered the phone in the past, and the call quality was better this time:

"Hi Lee, where are you? You said you were in Australia?"

Li Du said: "Yes, I am now on a small island outside Tasmania, Steve, are you in the Antarctic? What are you doing in the Antarctic?"

Steve's cheerful voice sounded: "Aren't we going to go to the North Pole after spring? I'll come to Antarctica first to have relevant experiences and get ready."

The environment in Antarctica is even worse than that in the North Pole. This made Li Du break into a cold sweat.

But this is a joke, Steve said: "I came to Antarctica to find some things. You know, Antarctica is very sunny and warm season. If you want to come to Antarctica, this is the best time."

There are no four seasons in Antarctica. There are only warm seasons and cold seasons. The warm season is from November to March of the next year. This is a good time for scientific research and Antarctic tourism.

Li Du is now very close to the Antarctic. Of course, this is relatively close to other places. The southern tip of Australia is still 2,000 kilometers away from Antarctica.

But after Steve knew his location, he must come to the South Pole: "Come and see, buddy, you are so close, I will arrange a plane to pick you up, you bring Sophie, this ice and snow world is very suitable couple."

Li Du himself was not interested in Antarctica, but considering Sophie, he thought it might be good for the two of them to go together.

As soon as he hesitated here, Steve immediately arranged for him, and he could hear Steve shouting over the phone: "Let the plane go to Hobart Airport, and bring the two people over..."

Well, it’s okay not to go now, the plane over there is ready to take off.

Li Du asked worriedly: "Man, is it safe to go to Antarctica by plane? What if there is a heavy snowstorm?"

"The blizzard is over. There will be a blizzard during the day, and the next few days will be sunny and fine. We have to believe in science, don't we?"

"Of course it's no problem to fly in such weather. In the warm season, some travel companies will also develop tourism projects for low-altitude navigation in Antarctica."

Hearing what Steve said was certain, Li Du believed his words, they had to take a boat from the island to Hobart.

The closest place to Antarctica is in South America, across the Drake Passage, but if you want to reach the eastern part of Antarctica, it is closer from Hobart.

Coincidentally, Steve is now in Wilkes Land in the eastern region, which is a huge ice-covered area, uninhabited all year round, and there are no research stations in other countries. Li Du doesn't know why he is going to this place.

When they arrived in Hobart, the plane sent by Steve also landed here. This is a specially modified large commercial plane with the logo of the US government on it, which is specially used to undertake flight operations in polar regions.

When the two sides met, the pilot gave them a pamphlet, which described some things. These things are available in the cabin, and Li Du and the others need to prepare them themselves. Of course, if you want to be comfortable, you still have to go to the market to buy them yourself.
