Mo Er sighed and said, "Well, I've been out for half a month and haven't even returned home. You really are a Wei Baopi!"

She didn't waste any time and immediately flew away in a helicopter.

He flew a helicopter out of Beijing, then changed to a fighter jet and headed directly to the Greater Bay Area.

When passing by a certain military camp, it deliberately flew at an extremely low altitude, which scared a certain brigade commander so much that he fell off his chair and cursed for a long time.

After arriving at the Great Bay Strait, passing through Southeast Asia, and then arriving in New Zealand, we headed south through the westerlies, and then began to circle the Antarctic continent, looking for the research vessel Xuelong.

The Antarctic was in polar night at this time. Moer knew that the polar night in Antarctica lasted from March 3 to September 22 every year.

Around March 3 every year, the sun is directly above the equator, and the world has equal day and night. The sun then moves northward, and around June 21, it is directly above the Tropic of Cancer, causing polar day in the Arctic Circle and its north, and polar night in the Antarctic Circle and its south. Around September 6, the sun is directly above the equator, and the world has equal day and night. The sun then moves southward, and around December 22, it is directly above the Tropic of Capricorn, causing polar day in the Antarctic Circle and its south, and polar night in the Arctic Circle and its north.

In fact, it should be said that there are only two seasons in Antarctica, one summer and one winter.

Mo'er piloted her fighter plane, searching for the research vessel. The polar night had little effect on her. Flying two hundred meters in the sky, her mind scanned the sea.

A large group of penguins on the beach are forming a circle with the baby penguins in the middle. Mo'er feels itchy when he sees them. He wonders if he can raise some of these big guys in the space. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are big guys. An adult penguin can grow to about one meter and three inches.

Moer particularly liked these cute looking creatures. She observed them carefully and finally selected five penguin couples and their penguin eggs to enter the space.

The penguins who entered the space were all confused. What was going on? Where was this? The temperature here was about the same as where they had been before, but why was there no wind at all? The air was still so fresh.

Seeing no danger nearby, the male penguin jumped under the ice and soon emerged with a large fish in his mouth. He gestured to the lake, saying that there were plenty of fish under the ice and that he no longer had to worry about food.

The remaining four male penguins also jumped off the ice, and it didn't take long before they all came ashore with big fish in their mouths.

This made the five female penguins very happy.

Moer observed the penguins for a while, and after finding that there was nothing wrong, he began to search for the research vessel!

A research vessel named Xuelong is docked near the coast. This vessel, independently developed by China in the second half of last year, is 164 meters long, 22.6 meters wide, and has a maximum draft of 9.2 meters. Its total displacement is 2.1 tons. Two weeks ago, an oil pipe in the vessel's engine froze and cracked. With no replacement parts available, the vessel is docked here, awaiting rescue.

What is frightening is that there are very few supplies left on the ship, and even these few supplies are the result of their usual frugality. If there is no rescue within half a month, these more than 80 people will have no choice but to die here.

The polar night environment made them feel like they were abandoned by the whole world. They tried not to move as much as possible every day to maintain minimum physical strength.

The hurricanes that hit every few days were even more despairing. The winds were so strong that they threatened to blow the research vessel skyward!
