Chapter 427

Chapter 427 The ambition to build an animal version of Noah’s Ark

The full name of the Doomsday Granary is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It is built deep underground in the Svalbard Islands and is the last line of defense to ensure global food security.

The seeds of all the crops in Blue Star are stored here, with a total of hundreds of millions of seeds.

Not only can it withstand sea level rise, earthquakes and tsunamis and other natural disasters, but it can also withstand nuclear weapons.

Coupled with the unique climatic conditions here, the seeds here can be preserved permanently, which can be called the plant version of Noah's Ark.

Once humans encounter an irresistible disaster in the future, this place will become the key to restarting human civilization.

When Yang Lin saw with his own eyes this place that he had only heard about in books, his inner emotions unconsciously became very complicated.

Ten years ago, he might have thought this project was a bit unfounded.

But today, ten years later, he feels that this project is very necessary.

After all, the general trend of global warming is no longer inevitable, and ice-free summer in the Arctic is even more imminent.

Once the Arctic ice melts completely, it will not only be affected by humans, but also the polar bears living in the Arctic.

"Now that the plant version of the Doomsday Ark already exists, it seems that the animal version will fall on me."

"Then let's start with you."

As he spoke, Yang Lin looked at the four polar bears in front of him.

After finishing his emotion, Yang Lin drove the four polar bears to set off again.

Another half hour passed, and the completely frozen coastline appeared in front of Yang Lin.

Across the coastline is the vast Arctic Ocean. Before summer comes, most of the areas here are frozen.

This also created favorable conditions for Yang Lin to hike to the North Pole.

As soon as he arrived at the beach, the first thing that caught Yang Lin's eyes was the baby Kun and a group of narwhals playing in a huge ice cave.

The cold weather doesn't seem to have any effect on them.

Perhaps noticing Yang Lin's arrival, Baby Kun immediately let out an excited cry.

"Director, I feel like I have been here before."

Yang Lin didn't feel strange when he heard Kun Baobao's words.

If he guessed correctly, its mother should have lived mainly around here, and was brought to the Pacific Ocean by the ocean-going fishing boats in her childhood.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin immediately said to Baby Kun:

"Then just have some fun here. I'll call you when something happens. Go ahead!"

After receiving Yang Lin's approval, Kun Baobao, who was in high spirits, immediately headed to the Arctic Ocean with a group of new recruits.

But Yang Lin used the power of Ocean Heart to fulfill his promise to the polar bear family of four.

Next to an ice hole, sea fish more than half a meter long jumped out spontaneously as if they were possessed.

The polar bear family of four were stunned on the spot.

It wasn't until Yang Lin reminded them that they realized that these were the rewards given to them by Yang Lin.

This also started an ice buffet.

Looking at the polar bears feasting, Yang Lin felt hungry.

Originally planning to eat a few mouthfuls of dry food to cope with the situation, he threw the compressed biscuits back into his backpack on the spot.

"Why are you eating compressed biscuits? Aren't they eaten everywhere?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out the oil stove given to him by stationmaster Li Qing from the sled.

Set the pot on fire, then add the solidified cooking oil. After a while, a sizzling sound came from the iron pot.

Taking advantage of the break in the hot pot, Yang Lin picked up a cod and started processing it.

After processing, he put large chunks of fine cod meat into the iron pot.

Not long after, the aroma of fish came from the iron pot.

Due to the special characteristics of the North and South Poles, he did not carry drinking water with him, but it did not matter. The most indispensable thing in the North and South Poles was fresh water.

When the fish was fried on both sides until golden brown, he picked up a large piece of crushed ice from the side and threw it into the pot.

Ten minutes later, a pot of milky white fish soup was formed in the iron pot.

No need to add too much seasoning, just add salt and pepper, and the fish soup will become delicious.

After taking a small sip, Yang Lin exhaled a long breath of white air towards the sky.

"I finally understand why my unreliable parents are so keen on running around."

"This feeling of drinking fish soup on the Arctic ice sheet is really great."

“When you get to the North Pole, you must have another meal and take photos as a souvenir. This trip is perfect.”

While he was talking, he took out the bottle of vodka, unscrewed the cap, shouted "Ula" and took a sip.

I took one sip and almost choked myself to death.

"Bah! It tastes really bad!"

It was so spicy that he grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth.

It took more than a minute before he gradually recovered.

And the first thing he did after he recovered was to take out his cell phone and take a selfie of himself.

In the photo, he was smiling so happily and holding an opened bottle of vodka in his hand.

If he could post on WeChat Moments at this moment, he would definitely add text - at 90 degrees north latitude, drinking 90 degree vodka, fighting with polar bears, fishing on the ice sheet, being the wildest man on the Blue Star, everything. Don’t say anything, it’s all in the wine, Ula!

At the same time, everyone in the Yellow River Research Station on the other side was worried about the sumptuous dinner on the table.

"It's been five hours. I don't know where Director Yang is now."

"It should still be in the tundra area. It must be very hard on the way."

"I wonder if you have encountered polar bears."

"The compressed biscuits must be difficult to swallow. I guess he is eating them with a mouthful of compressed biscuits and a mouthful of snow."

"Yes, we are eating so well, it's really a pity."

"Just now, the Xiaori Research Station sent a message saying that they were attacked by 40 polar bears, and then they were successfully repelled. It was during the fight that the station 's key is lost. I hope Director Yang doesn't run into that group of polar bears."

"Just listen to them, there are 40 polar bears, at most 10."

"10 is quite a lot."

"By the way, I heard that Xiaorizi finally asked the Kimchi Country station next door for help."

"Why, help to find the key?"

"No, help to unlock, after all, Kimchi Country has first-class lock-opening technology."

"Ah? Why?"

"Because they can steal!"

......

Instantly, the solemn atmosphere in the restaurant became relaxed.

And just when everyone at the scientific research station couldn't eat because of their worry about Yang Lin, Yang Lin in the Arctic Ocean had already put the pot on his face.

As the last mouthful of fish soup was poured into his mouth, a burp representing satisfaction came out of his mouth.

"So full!"

As soon as he put down the iron pot in his hand, he noticed with his sharp eyes that there seemed to be one less codfish that he had just brought up to keep as dry food for the future.

He thought it was the two brothers Goudan and Gousheng or the polar bear family of four who stole the food.

But at this moment, a line of small footprints on the ice caught his attention.

"There's a thief!"
