Chapter 59 Who Stole My Cookie

The expedition team is still very good. They gave everyone a half-day vacation and planned to set up camp on the island for two days.It is said to be a holiday, but in fact it is to let everyone group into groups and go to the area assigned by themselves to set up tents and so on.By the way, familiarize yourself with the environment, and at the same time make sure your own place to stay.

Those who want to live on the island are Li Yu's diving team, guard soldiers, and the personnel of the scientific research team they protect. The island is still a little better now, but it is cold and dry at night, so it is definitely not a good place to stay.But everyone will be distributed on a huge island, and then the diving team and the guards will help guard various instruments.

The measurement and collection of minerals and biological species must be carried out on the island. As far as the scientists are concerned, not all of them are in good health, and soldiers have to rely on soldiers to keep watch at night.The people in the diving team are of good physical fitness. When there is a shortage of such people, they are also the first to bear the brunt.

"I'm in a group with Li Yu, and I'll keep watch at night." Chang Mingyao offered.The people in their biological group will also send people to go deeper into the island.We also have to stay on the island for two days. The older experts and professors have poorer physical fitness, so the younger ones will take the initiative to stand up at this time.

There are no special requirements for forming a team. Chang Mingyao and Li Yu are in a group, along with Yang Jun and Wang Yong. Yang Jun is also a botanist in his 40s, and Wang Yong is a soldier protecting him.The four were assigned to go to the west of the island to check the plants and rare island creatures there.

The more you go to the island, the more plants gradually increase, and the growth is better.Wang Yong is a soldier with rich experience in field survival. He looked at the sky and asked everyone to go to places with water sources as much as possible.Yes, there are water sources on the island, not sea water, but precious fresh water resources.

"Look, hurry up! There are flowers!" Li Yu's eyes were sharp, and he saw several clusters of plants about ten centimeters long beside a three-meter-square puddle.And on these plants, there are actually white flowers in the shape of daffodils.These flowers are not very big, nor are they gorgeous, but it is a surprise to appear on such an island.

The water cannot be seen directly above the puddle, it is a bit like a wetland, which is covered with thick moss.This helps conserve water, preventing freezing and evaporation.It has to be said that nature always provides an environment for species to survive in unique ways.

Yang Jun took the dv and carefully wrote down the surrounding scenes. These plants have maps, and they are not newly discovered, so there is no need to collect and make specimens.Although it is a novelty, no one picks these lovely flowers by hand. After all, it is not easy to grow and bloom here.

"Butterfly. A butterfly with transparent wings..." Yang Jun whispered, pointing to a spot among the flowers.

It may not be too novel to see butterflies. Animals and plants are the same, no matter how delicate they are, they can survive in harsh environments.But the wings of this butterfly are transparent, and there are many types, the most is a transparent butterfly without patterns.

The sun shines on its wings, dyed the sun's golden color, and occasionally refracted light appears, as if it is wearing a colorful robe.The originally transparent little guy looked extraordinarily beautiful.There are also some wings that are transparent, but have yellow, red, or purple patterns.There are also black transparent wings, or black polka dots, which make these elves look more cute.

Rao is a few big men, and he likes seeing these butterflies.They all watched quietly from the side, and quietly recorded it with dv, not daring to disturb them.He even dared not reach out to touch it, fearing that his thick hands would disturb the butterfly and break it to pieces.

Yang Jun even took out his notebook, carefully wrote down what he had seen and heard along the way, and measured the surrounding temperature, humidity, etc. at any time.Finally, he exclaimed inconceivably: "In such a harsh environment, such a butterfly survives!"

And in order to adapt to the natural environment, these butterflies have evolved. They don't have many natural enemies, and the crescent powder on their wings is slowly molting and disappearing.In order to fight against the loss of body water or the dryness of the island, it simply evolved wings like a dragonfly.

Generations of slow efforts and clever chances finally made these butterflies so unique and allowed them to survive in such a harsh environment for generations.Therefore, nothing is impossible, only not fighting, nothing is impossible!

Saying goodbye to these butterflies, Li Yu and the others continued to walk westward until they saw a meandering river less than [-] centimeters wide. Then they began to look for a place to set up their tent tonight.Wang Yong is better at this kind of thing.

There are uneven rocky slopes on the island, none of which are considered high, and the peak of 30 meters is already the "peak" on the island.But there were no trees rooted to it, not even shrubs.Maybe there is already a water source, so the plants in this area are more lush, and there are some knee-high weeds.

Wang Yong took a fancy to a bare rock area, and there was a stone slope behind it, which could just help them cover some sea breeze.It is not far from the water source, and there are no gaps in this piece of stone, they are all in one piece.Such a place will not hide animals such as snakes and scorpions, although there are very few such creatures on this island.

After setting up the simple tent, Wang Yong placed the small generator.There is nothing on the island to bring them firewood to make a fire overnight, and they still have to rely on electric stoves.Chang Mingyao can finally play its role. They don't have much rations, and they brought some seaweed, kelp, and krill.

Krill is a specialty of Antarctica. It is said that if people on earth eat up everything on earth one day.Antarctic krill alone can provide the world with food for more than 50 years.However, with the operation of ocean-going fishing vessels in various countries, krill has begun to appear on the tables of people in various countries.

What kind of 50-year backup granary, I don't know how long it can last...

Before the sun set, Wang Yong was also responsible for installing night cameras within their inspection range.Like waterside, near rocks, in grass, etc.Hope to be able to record nocturnal creatures, even some insect activities are good.You know, there are no mosquitos here!

Even if the conditions are simple, Chang Mingyao can make a delicious dinner.Stuffed white rice, seafood soup, fried krill, and cold kelp shreds are rare in such a wild place.

"If I had known about your tricks, my brothers and I would have asked Fat Chef to make an empty stove for you!" Wang Yong was the most forthright.

"When I'm at the scientific research station, I'll come over for a meal too." Yang Jun was happy. With such a master, their days at the scientific research station would be happy.You know, the scientific research station is not like a ship, and it also has a chef.And a group of people who are obsessed with scientific research, most of their cooking skills are not very good, such as Yang Jun himself.Instant noodles are probably what he is best at...

"I'm going to make some shrimp biscuits, and I'm making a seaweed batter tomorrow morning, so let's just eat it." Because tomorrow morning they will start to explore the creatures on the island.In the middle of the night, and it was so cold, Chang Mingyao didn't want to get up to cook, and he felt that he might not be able to handle the weather.

"Okay! What you made, even if it is clear soup and batter, I can eat three big bowls." Wang Yong said.

At night, Chang Mingyao and Li Yu lived in the same tent, there were no entertainment activities, and they had to conserve energy, so everyone went to bed early.There is not even a buzzing of insects on the island, the whistling wind, the humming of generators outside, and the sound of waves beating against rocks in the distance.Although it is not a quiet environment, it may even feel a little noisy, but there is no breath of biological activity, which still makes people feel a bit empty and scary.

"If I lived alone on the island, I would definitely suffer a nervous breakdown after staying for two nights." Li Yu said listening to the sound outside.

"It's okay, and I'm still here. Go to sleep, I won't be able to rest for the past two days. Fortunately, you didn't receive a diving mission. The sea water is so cold that it hurts your bones." Chang Mingyao got off the boat When it was time, I went to the beach for a lap.Originally, he wanted to find some edible sea vegetables, but he dared not touch the water at all.

"Captain Mu and the others have worked really hard. This time the launch mission is for people from the navy. Those of us who are not soldiers have no arrangements." Li Yu was actually very moved, and felt a little guilty. Under such circumstances, water is definitely not a good thing. errands.When they arrange it, they also let the soldiers go to the most difficult and hardest positions.And those of them who took the quota to board the ship seemed a little helpless, very guilty.

"After boarding the boat, I'll see if I can afford it. I'll make them some soup to dispel the cold and let them drink it for two days." Chang Mingyao comforted.

"Okay, let's ask." Li Yu nodded.

"How do you feel coming out this time?"

"Very good! I didn't expect the iceberg to be so big, and there is an island on the Antarctic side! And the island is still like this, the flowers and butterflies we saw this afternoon..."

The two were chatting, their voices gradually became quieter, and they fell asleep with the sound of the wind and waves outside.

As the sun rose, Chang Mingyao and the others also got up.Coming out of the sleeping bag, the temperature outside gave Li Yu goosebumps.He hurriedly put on his winter clothes, washed up briefly, and gathered around the electric stove to have breakfast.To Chang Mingyao's surprise, their breakfast was passive!

Their tent is divided into two parts, the inside is the sleeping place, separated by two layers of thick waterproof fabric.When sleeping at night, it is also zipped up.There is another part, which is used for cooking, which is only covered by a thick layer of cloth to isolate the outside.And the electric stove is also outside, which can increase the temperature inside the tent, otherwise just sleeping bags are not enough to resist the cold outside.

As a result, when Chang Mingyao came out to make batter, he found that the shrimp biscuits that had been warming next to the electric stove last night were gone.In fact, it is not a biscuit in the traditional sense. It is just made with chopped shrimp, added some seaweed in it, and then fried it with oil.At night, put it next to the electric stove and bake it slowly.

But when they were fried last night, they felt very fragrant, with the umami taste of roasted seaweed.For today's breakfast, several people are also full of expectations.However, when I woke up this morning, I found that it was gone, the fragrant shrimp seaweed biscuits were gone!

Before it was too late to be sad, everyone first thought, who stole the shrimp and seaweed biscuits?

The island has been initially detected before, and there should be no creatures that can steal their biscuits.However, now it actually appeared.They were more excited about the cookie being stolen. Does this mean that there are creatures on the island that they haven't discovered enough to come to their tent to steal the cookie?

"Let me take a look." Wang Yong checked the traces on the ground, because it was on the stone, and there were no special traces, only a small fluff, and it was very familiar...

There is a camera not far from the tent to observe the presence and absence of animals at night, and Wang Yong hurried to get it.After opening the record, everyone was stunned.

Not long after they fell asleep last night, a few chubby penguins appeared near their tent. It seemed that they came from the beach on the west coast.There are many icebergs over there, and the Dragon can't get close, so everyone landed from the east coast.

A few penguins seemed to be very interested in them, so they wandered around the tent for a long time.At eleven o'clock, five penguins with their little penguins entered the tent.Although I don’t know what’s going on inside the tent, but compared to the height of those big penguins, it’s very good, I was able to eat the biscuits next to the electric stove just now…

It's a group of little blue penguins. They are the smallest of the penguins. They hold their heads high when they walk, and they look a little arrogant.The chubby body is twisted and twisted, and it looks very cute.The little blue penguin is named for its blue feathers.Because the reproduction is relatively fast, there are two litters a year, so the number is relatively large.

These little blue penguins are also called fairy penguins and fairy penguins, but they are actually very timid.Generally like to be active at night, and generally live and move in groups.It is estimated that the few penguins who came to the tent last night were rare and bold, and five penguins ran to the island.

But after stealing the biscuits, he didn't even let go of the krill in the basin, and ate them all.After eating, a few of them twisted their fat bodies and returned to the way they came, sneaking away.

"What interesting little guys!" Yang Jun said with a smile when he saw these little guys being photographed by the camera.

It was also the first time for Li Yu to see penguins, and he thought they were very interesting. Unexpectedly, they were able to meet penguins under such an accident, which was also a great surprise.Whimsical, he said to Chang Mingyao: "Why don't you make some delicious food today and see if you can attract other penguins?"

"I'm sorry to tell you that except for seaweed pancakes and fresh kelp, we only have a little batter and white rice. The krill that is attractive to these penguins is gone. Of course, we probably have to eat some batter and white rice for breakfast It's just batter and compressed biscuits." Chang Ming delicacies are spread out, and it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, no, it's a clever husband.These penguins are probably not interested in being vegetarian, and they probably have no interest in eating their compressed biscuits.

"When you arrive at the Antarctic Circle and the scientific research station, you can see as many penguins as you want. When you open the door every day, you can see teams of penguins passing by in front of the scientific research station. Many types of penguins are bold and very good. It’s funny, it’s silly, and it’s also quite interesting.” Wang Yong said, he has not only come to Antarctica for a mission, so he knows it better.

Not to mention, it is definitely a pleasure to tease these penguins when the scientific research station is boring.Eat, sleep, tease penguins...

The quality of breakfast has dropped a lot because of these little blue penguins, but everyone still had a good time, but it was a pity that they missed an opportunity to get in close contact with those little guys.After eating, they packed up their things and started to look further afield.
