When the snowmobile stopped outside the Arctic expedition site, the entire camp was filled with laughter and laughter.

This is the first time that so many people have come to the inspection site, which makes the scientific researchers and soldiers stationed here extremely happy.

As soon as Wen Wanwan stepped through the gate of the camp, a hand reached out from the side and handed her a roasted chicken leg.

"You're tired. Eat something to warm yourself up!"

Wen Wanwan took the chicken leg with a little confusion and looked towards the camp.

At this time, more than ten large barbecue grills were set up in the camp, and in front of each grill there was a soldier in military uniform busy.

Many scientific researchers in white coats were smiling and chatting with the soldiers.

Not everyone brings their work into life, and most researchers don’t actually like life in the laboratory very much.

Working overtime in the laboratory every day is not only about work needs, but also more responsibilities.

Like today, the entire inspection site is on holiday, and they are looking forward to the time when everyone can get together and enjoy life together.

Wen Wanwan hadn't even finished a large chicken drumstick, but his hands were stuffed with beef skewers and mutton skewers one after another. He didn't even know who had brought a bunch of lamb kidneys.

Looking at these kebabs, Wen Wanwan felt dumbfounded.

"Stop making trouble, this is Commander Wen!"

Fortunately, this kind of thing didn't last long. An old man standing aside noticed Wen Wanwan first and walked up quickly.

"Hello, Commander Wen, I am the person in charge of the Arctic expedition point: Zhou Ziqiang!"

"Hello there!"

After briefly shaking hands, Zhou Ziqiang quickly led Wen Wanwan to the house at the base.

"I'm sorry, we rarely have outsiders here. After all, it was a lively place, but they were a little too enthusiastic."

"It's okay, this is good!"

Wen Wanwan didn't think anything of the current situation in the camp. The scientific research tasks here at the Arctic expedition site were extremely heavy, and logically they shouldn't disturb them.

But people like them must find a place to rest. Looking around, there are only inspection points within a radius of fifty kilometers that can meet this need.

Seeing that Wen Wanwan really didn't mind, Zhou Ziqiang breathed a sigh of relief and began to introduce the facilities in the camp to Wen Wanwan.

"The tent area over there is used by soldiers on duty. They originally lived in the building with us, but then a peacekeeping force came to stay here temporarily..."

When Zhou Ziqiang said this, he shrank his neck and continued to speak when he saw no one was approaching.

"That night, the soldiers on duty fell asleep because the air conditioner was blowing. They didn't wake up until the peacekeepers entered the building. Later, their night duty location was placed in a tent at the gate of the camp."

I have to say that listening to gossip is really a pleasure. Wen Wanwan listened to Zhou Ziqiang's story and unknowingly finished the kebab in his hand.

"The building here is three floors, and it is also the accommodation area for the entire inspection site."

"The bungalow over there means that our power station uses wind power generation unless there is no large-scale experiment. However, if we carry out experimental tasks, thermal power generation will also be started at the same time."

“The place where you can see a patch of solar energy after passing the power station is the canteen and warehouse.”

"But the food our cooks make is really unpalatable. Usually we wait for the soldiers to train and eat it together."

"The area behind is the parking lot, and below is our testing area."

Wen Wanwan's eyes kept moving along with Zhou Ziqiang's introduction, and he also gained some understanding of this Arctic inspection site.

There is no doubt that as my country's earliest establishment in the Arctic and also the largest inspection site, it goes without saying that it covers a large area.And the title of infrastructure madman does not come randomly. Even in the ice and snow of the North Pole, houses are still built here.

"What is that area?"

Wen Wanwan's eyes finally settled on an area emitting warm light, which was too bright to see clearly.

"Want to visit the breeding farms and vegetable greenhouses?"

When he said this, Zhou Ziqiang's face was obviously full of pride. It was obvious that he should have presided over the construction of this place during his tenure.

"Go, go and see!"

Wen Wanwan put on her coat and followed Zhou Ziqiang's footsteps towards the light.

The thick curtain was lifted, and the area in front of him was finally revealed.

An alloy steel frame is used in the plastic greenhouse to ensure that the snow will not collapse the place. All the heating facilities are fixed around it, so that the temperature in the entire greenhouse is always above [-].

Green cabbage grows in the soil, and automatic equipment is running all the time, converting snow into fresh water and spraying it on the land.

It has to be said that the Chinese people are really talented in farming, and they can still grow vegetables in this greenhouse in the ice and snow.

"How many greenhouses like this are there?"

"Fifty!"

The proud voice made Wen Wanwan feel a little incredible. One or two can be said to be taken care of, but the number of fifty is definitely not that simple. He deserves to be proud!

"How did you do it?"

After hearing Wen Wanwan's inquiry, Zhou Ziqiang started to explain.

"It must have been my third year in office. Due to the snowstorm, more than 170 people at the entire inspection point were hungry for seven days."

“Since then, we have set a mission to overcome the problem of farming in the Arctic.”

"As long as there is a gap between completing tasks during this period, we will take time to solve the listed problems bit by bit."

"Heating equipment, thawing the ice, digging soil in the shallow sea, and turning the saline-alkali land into black soil took a full five years."

"When the last problem was solved, we started building greenhouses as soon as possible. It took two years to build all [-] greenhouses."

Although it was an understatement, Wen Wanwan knew exactly what kind of difficulty there was.

This is not a group of experts who have been allocated money from above to study it.

It's just a group of researchers who worked together to use their free time, exerted huge energy and spent several years to overcome many difficulties.

"Is the soil here sea soil?"

Zhou Ziqiang nodded: "Although soil that can be used for farming is inconspicuous, it is a very important thing in any country."

"No one wants to sell their land, even a small amount. We don't want to trouble the country, so we can only choose sea land."

Sea soil is also called saline-alkali soil, which is basically impossible to grow food.

It can be imagined how much effort the scientific researchers here put into turning the soil of fifty greenhouses into black soil suitable for farming.

"You are really working hard to farm the land!" (End of Chapter)
