Chapter 434: Oil

There are too few ingredients available in Camp Alert, and until the Smith Strait is completely thawed, they can only rely on planes for their supplies. So the most important ingredients here are some flour, rice, deep-frozen meat and dehydrated vegetables. Although there are many styles, if they eat these things almost every day, even the delicacies of mountains and seas will have faded out of their mouths.

For the people in the camp, the things Yang Jing brought are undoubtedly precious.

Among other things, the hundreds of kilograms of fresh vegetables have become the most sought-after item in the camp, even more popular than the top ingredients such as Australian Wagyu beef and Dong Tao chicken.

Especially after seeing the red tomatoes, green broccoli, small rapeseed, purple onions, and fresh Chinese cabbage, these guys all looked like Arctic wolves who had been hungry for the cold season. I wish I could see a foot-long green light.

These vegetables were supplemented by Andre and Lin Dan in Nuuk, but some vegetables cannot be stored for long even at the most suitable temperature. Therefore, these vegetables are cheaper for the campers.

In fact, most of the ingredients pulled from the Blue Whale are mainly fresh vegetables, followed by frozen seafood, and very few meat. There is no shortage of meat in Alert Camp, what they lack is fresh vegetables and seafood.

Fresh vegetables are understandable. After all, there are no vegetables growing here even in the hottest summer. But seafood is also extremely lacking here.

No way. Although Alert is on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, there is no dock or fishing boat here, and there is no way to go fishing at all. Pointing to fishing with a fishing rod, how about starving all these people to death?

So seafood is extremely popular here.

Yang Jing and the others brought a total of 200 kilograms of ingredients. This was when Andre said that he would stop at Alert when he was in Nuuk. After the people there liked these ingredients the most, Yang Jing specially asked Lin Dan to add some more. Vegetables and seafood.

For these people, these ingredients are at most two meals. But it doesn't matter, there are so many supplies on the Blue Whale, even if Yang Jing and the others are stationed here for a month, they are still able to afford the consumption here.

"Albert, thank you very much. If it weren't for you, we would have to wait at least twenty days before we can eat fresh vegetables." Old Kyle walked to Yang Jing with a glass of wine, and Yang Jing Jing stood side by side and watched the people dancing happily by the campfire. Dozens of Alaskan malamutes ran around in the crowd excitedly, making noises from time to time.

These cute puppies were brought over by the four guys who crossed the North American continent on foot. There were more than sixty in total. If it weren't for these brave puppies, the four of them would not be able to cross the North American continent on foot. At least in the Arctic Islands in winter, they would not be able to walk thousands of miles without a dog sled.

These puppies are obviously well taken care of. They are fat and strong, and they are very familiar with the people in the camp. With their existence, there is more anger in the camp,

"It's nothing, Kyle, you are doing scientific research here. It deserves the respect of people all over the world. I just happened to pass by here and did what I should do." Yang Jing turned his head and looked at this person very sincerely. A respectable old scholar.

"So, how long are you going to stay here? I heard Andre say that you are going to sea this time to spend a vacation with your fiancée. If this is the case, I suggest you stay here for a while. Now and in the future For a period of time, it was the most beautiful time near Alert. Here you can see walruses, seals, and of course polar bears. If you are lucky, you can also see whales. The warm season of the Arctic Ocean is still very interesting. If you want to Go to Coutine Park National Park to the west, then you can admire the permafrost glaciers up close, and if you want, you can also start hunting activities there. This season, it is the Arctic wolves that follow the Arctic rabbits and Arctic foxes to go north. In season, those brutal guys need to use shotguns to deal with."

Yang Jing asked, "Do I need a hunting license to hunt here?"

"NO! Of course not. I can't even see a person's shadow here. Why do you use that stuff? And these Arctic wolves are very dangerous. Every year, some Arctic wolves come into the camp. Fortunately, we have guns here, and there are also guns in the north. There are a few real soldiers. Lieutenant Rodman killed seven Arctic wolves last year alone. It's a pity that wolf meat is not tasty..."

Yang Jing smiled, raised his glass and touched Old Kyle, "I do plan to stay here for a few more days, of course, if you don't think we are bothering you."

Old Kyle took a sip of wine and said, "How is it possible? There are places to live here. When there were the largest number of people here, there were two hundred people. Now there are only more than 20 of us. You can find a few houses and you can live in them. All of you. It’s okay how long you are willing to stay here, no one will say what. People here hope that as many people come as possible, we stay here for too long and too lonely. "

Yang Jing smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then we will bother."

Old Kyle pointed to the dancing crowd and asked: "Why don't you go down and dance? This can make your mood more pleasant and help release some of the negative emotions accumulated during the voyage."

Yang Jing shrugged and said with a smile: "I don't know anything about this, so I can only watch them dance..."

Before finishing speaking, Grid ran over, grabbed Yang Jing and pulled into the venue.

Yang Jing had to put the wine glass aside and followed Grid awkwardly.

Fuck him, know how to dance or not, as long as you are happy. So Yang Jing dangled like a polar bear.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening, and the sun was still flying in the sky. In Alter this season, there is no such thing as night. So the temperature here is actually not low. As long as there is no cold wave, it is only three or four degrees below zero even during the coldest time of the day. The high temperature can sometimes rise to seventeen octaves above zero. Even now, it is estimated to be ten degrees Celsius.

So Yang Jing jumped for a while, then took off his outer jacket, and was completely absorbed in the carnival.

The party lasted until almost twelve o'clock, and many people were drunk.

Yang Jing also drinks a lot, but he has the ability to feed back, and a little bit of rotation can disperse the alcohol. Grid patronized and played, did not eat less, but did not drink much alcohol.

Originally, Grid heard that I was able to live in Alert Camp. I was quite excited. After all, this is the northernmost human settlement in the world. Most people can’t even come here, let alone live here, so Grid is very good at living. Still very interested here.

It's a pity that I can't live here tonight. There are indeed a lot of free rooms in the Alert camp, and the people in the camp cleared some rooms early after learning that the Blue Whale was coming.

But these rooms have everything but no bedding...

In desperation, Yang Jing and the others could only return to the Blue Whale again, and bring bedding or something when they came back the next day.

The weather on the next day was still very good. In Alert, as long as there is no cold snap, everything is fine. There is almost no snow in Alter in the warm season, except for a light rain occasionally.

The next day, Yang Jing and Grid lived in a neatly cleaned room. This room is not very large, but the conditions inside are very good. It is said that this room used to be a house where a pair of settlers lived.

There is a big bed in the house, as well as a kitchen and bathroom. What surprises Grid most is that there is a hot water pipe in the bathroom connected to the camp’s oil-fired boiler. As long as you want to take a bath, you can take a hot bath in minutes. Not to mention that there is a huge bathtub in the corner of the bathroom...

Alter did not worry about fuel at all before here. It was only because of tight budgets in the past two years that government departments put the fuel issue on the table.

However, no matter how it is placed, the oil here must still be supplied in full. Just kidding, if you want to hug the settlement of Alter, enough fuel is essential. Fuel is indispensable in many aspects such as heating, heating, and power generation. If anyone dares to give the oil to the card, do you still want to do this settlement?

Do you really treat those white Canadians like Inuit? The Inuit people can live well here without oil, but if those white people don’t have oil, they probably won’t be able to stay for two weeks!

Because there is no shortage of oil in Alert Camp, it is very luxurious and can provide hot water 24 hours a day!

As for fresh water, there is no shortage here.

Although Alert is on the edge of the Arctic Ocean, after all, there is still more than ten kilometers away from the sea. So the groundwater here is very rich. In winter, the snow can be directly melted and used. In the warm season, after the snow covering the surface melts, the groundwater level can rise a lot immediately, causing the two wells in the camp to almost become artesian wells. .....

Strictly speaking, apart from loneliness, the living conditions here are pretty good.

For example, the camp has its own gym, recreation room, bar, and even a small theater. Strictly speaking, if it is a short-term vacation, this is definitely a pretty good choice. At least Grid fell in love with it after staying here for two days.

But she likes to play here, but Yang Jing can't do it.

After these two days settled down, Yang Jing began to take Chris and the others, piloting the helicopter on the "Antarctic Tern"-Blue Whale, and began searching in the vast areas west and south of Alert. .
