Chapter 1197 The Choice Against Human Nature
The next day, Lin Qian followed Huang Zhiyuan and others, and went to several places for sightseeing one after another. During the period, when passing by Deception Island, Fu Yang finally couldn't hold back his throbbing heart. With the encouragement of Lin Qian and others Next, completed his Antarctic ice swimming challenge.

After two consecutive days of sightseeing, everyone has adapted to the cold climate of Antarctica, and gradually mastered the rules that should be followed in Antarctica. With the rising sun on the third day, everyone on the Ocean Castle got out of bed early. Woke up.

Wash, get dressed, have breakfast...

The trivial things that were so common in the past, there is an inexplicable sense of ritual in doing them today.

because today...

Everyone has the same goal, which is the South Pole!
……

At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone assembled in front of the Ocean Castle.

Half an hour later, under the leadership of Huang Zhiyuan, Lin Qian and others, this huge team walked towards the South Pole.

That's right, walking!
There are many reasons for choosing to hike. First of all, there are not so many snowmobiles here that can carry the team of thousands of people. Secondly, if you choose to take transportation, it will undoubtedly make this event lose a lot of its due meaning. Finally, the Antarctic pole is not very far from the Union Glacier Camp where they are currently located, and it is by no means difficult to go there on foot.

Based on the above reasons, Lin Qian finally decided to go on foot.

With the equipment ready, everyone officially set off.

Considering the different physical fitness of the people in the whole team, Lin Qian and Huang Zhiyuan, who were walking in the front, always kept their pace at a speed that everyone could easily keep up with.

"Stationmaster Huang, as far as I know, the first time human beings reached the South Pole was in the early 20th century, right?"

Lin Qian and Huang Zhiyuan walked side by side, and he spoke to Huang Zhiyuan on the way.

"Yes."

"The exact time is December 1911, 12. Norwegian explorer Ronald Amundsen became the first human being to successfully reach the South Pole."

Huang Zhiyuan held a ski pole in his hand, and facing Lin Qian's question, he opened his mouth and told the most accurate time.

"How did he do that?"

"The technology back then was not as advanced as it is now."

Lin Qian asked curiously.

"In that era, those who challenged the South Pole were often people who put life and death behind their heads. Although Ronald Amundsen was the first human being to reach the South Pole, but after Ronald Amundsen Before Monson, there were countless people who fell on the road to conquer the Antarctic pole."

"Ronal Amundsen is very smart. He cleverly used 52 huskies as a booster, coupled with strict planning of the itinerary, and a little luck, and finally successfully reached the South Pole."

Huang Zhiyuan has been stationed in Antarctica all year round. He is like an encyclopedia in human form. He knows everything about Antarctica by heart.

"People in the world will always only know No.1, but not No.2."

"However, in terms of conquering the South Pole, No.2 is also worthy of everyone's admiration."

When Huang Zhiyuan said this, he suddenly sighed.

"How to say?"

Lin Qian frowned slightly, and asked curiously.

"Because of No.2, he left his life on this snowfield forever." Huang Zhiyuan paused, and then said again: "Actually, he didn't have to die."

"Can you elaborate?"

Huang Zhiyuan's narration made Lin Qian's curiosity a little uncontrollable.

"His name is Scott, and he is the captain of the Eagle Kingdom. His team went through all kinds of difficulties and successfully reached the South Pole in the third week after Ronald Amundsen arrived at the South Pole. However, when they saw By the time Ronald Amundsen had planted the flag at the South Pole, their faith had almost collapsed."

"They returned in despair, and finally on the way back, everyone, including Roscoe, froze to death in the tent."

Huang Zhiyuan briefly told Lin Qian what happened next.

"That's it?"

Lin Qian felt that this matter should not be over yet.

"If it's just like this, Scott's deeds will naturally not be widely spread by future generations." Huang Zhiyuan smiled: "Just after Scott and others lost contact, Yingguo quickly sent a search and rescue team to search and rescue Finally, in a tent only 20 kilometers away from the supply point, three dead bodies were found that had all been frozen to death."

"Among the relics of Scott and others, the search and rescue team did not find in their luggage a stone weighing more than 40 kilograms that was extremely well preserved. Later, everyone knew that this stone was a fossil of a tongue fern. , a material that is a major milestone in the study of biological evolution and the study of the Permian Ice Age."

"After a series of snowmobile strikes and the death of horses, Scott and the others could only rely on manpower to drag things. In order to speed up the journey and rush back, they abandoned most of their equipment to reduce the load, and even some of the necessities of survival were taken away They abandoned it, but this fossil weighing forty kilograms has always been well preserved by them."

"Without this fossil, it is possible for them to reach the supply point that is only 20 kilometers away from them, and if they reach the supply point, it means that they have hope."

Huang Zhiyuan told Lin Qian the following story.

After Lin Qian heard the story, he fell silent.

In the face of life and death, nothing is important.

Money, fame, power, status...

All of these are fleeting, just like the movie Huang Bai is shooting at this time, like the plot in "A Good Show", when everyone is imprisoned on an isolated island, in the face of life and death, all the glory of the past is gone.

The once glamorous beauty who had countless suitors, in order to survive, would rather sell her body and let a poor boy who used to not even look at him sing in the forest with various tricks every day.

The big boss who used to be worth billions of dollars and supported by the front and back, did not collapse the spiritual pillar of his survival. He was taken away by others, and he was humbled to the extreme.

This is human nature, this is the survival instinct of a human being.

However, the menstruation of the three of Scott was a choice against human nature. In the face of life and death, they would rather die than throw away the fossils in their hands. This behavior is indeed worthy of everyone's admiration.

"What about the end of the story?"

Lin Qian asked softly.

"At the end of the story, the members of the search and rescue team, according to their will, buried them on the snowfield on the spot, and set up a cross for them facing the South Pole, and this tomb where they were buried, Right there!"

At the end of Huang Zhiyuan's speech, he suddenly pointed in a certain direction...
