Chapter 456: Long live understanding

The Yellow River Station is China’s only polar scientific research station within the Arctic Circle, and it is also China’s third polar scientific research station after the Antarctic Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station.

   But when it comes to the Yellow River Station, there are really some twists and turns.

   In fact, the reason why the Yellow River Station can be constructed in New Alesund, Svalbard, must be thanked by the domestic professor Gao Denyi.

   In fact, the name Svalbard was still very unfamiliar to the Chinese people before 1999, or in other words, the Chinese people have forgotten this place where China should have sovereignty for sixty-six years.

   At the end of the sixteenth century and the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Dutch and the British discovered the Svalbard Islands one after another. This archipelago with many whales and walruses began to come into the eyes of the world.

   In five years, the Finns discovered a large amount of coal resources and other mineral resources on the archipelago. The archipelago immediately attracted the coveting of many European countries. People from many European countries began to enter the archipelago, such as Norwegians, Russians, British, Germans, Swedes, Danes, etc. But the Russians and Norwegians are the most populous.

   These people first hunted whales, walruses, and seals on Svalbard, and then slowly began to dig out the mineral resources on the island, and gradually formed immigrant towns. Including Longyearbyen, Barentsburg, Svea Gluy, New Ålesund, and the deadly town of Pramidden, which was built by the former Soviet Union and has been completely evacuated, are all those European immigrants who were in Sri Lanka. A settlement established on the Valbard Islands.

   From the perspective of population size and actual administrative jurisdiction, Norway and Russia seem to have a heavier weight. But after all, Norway's national power is limited, and Russia was in a period of revolution and civil war, and there was no time to look around. This is undoubtedly the best historical opportunity for European and American powers who are unwilling to give up the interests of Svalbard. So countries hurriedly launched shuttle diplomacy. You come and go, bargain, use many "isms" and "principles", after countless rounds, finally reached a set of conditions acceptable to everyone.

   On February 9, 920, the United Kingdom, the United States, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan signed the Spitsbergen Administrative State Treaty, the Svalbard Treaty, in Paris. In 925, 33 countries including China, the former Soviet Union, Germany, Finland, and Spain also joined the treaty and became allies of the Svalbard Treaty.

   The treaty made Svalbard the first and only demilitarized zone in the Arctic. The treaty recognizes that Norway “has full and complete sovereignty” and that the area “can never be used for war purposes”. However, citizens of each contracting country can enter voluntarily and engage in legitimate production and commercial activities within the scope of compliance with Norwegian laws.

   In other words, as a signatory of the treaty, China had already acquired an enclave in Europe in 925. The Chinese people have the right to enter and leave Svalbard at will, and they also have the right to build their own outposts there.

   But unfortunately, this treaty was forgotten. After the founding of the new China, it did not expect that there would be such a treaty that would be extremely beneficial to China.

   Until 1999, Professor Gao Denyi was invited to Norway to conduct a polar scientific expedition, and he saw the English version presented by Professor Y Yexin of the University of Bergen, Norway.

   Later, when Professor Gao Dengyi brought it back to China, China realized that its own country still owns such an enclave in Northern Europe. In the end, with this treaty, Huaxia established the Yellow River Station in New Alesund in 2004.

   is the polar scientific research station that was converted from the dormitory building where the miners of Wangwan Company lived.

   This building is a rare building made of reinforced concrete in New Alesund. After it was built in the 1940s, it was used as a dormitory for the miners of Wangwan Company. Later, Huaxia signed a lease agreement with Wangwan Company and converted this building into the Yellow River Station.

Therefore, this building does not have a grand gate. If it weren’t for two white marble lions squatting in front of the gate, Yang Jing and Gege would really have a hard time believing that this is the gate of the Yellow River Station—the gate is just a single gate, and The doors in ordinary residents' homes are no different.

   Under the leadership of He Rui, Yang Jing and Ge Ge were about to push the door and enter, the door was opened, and a young guy yawned and frowned and walked out.

   When He Rui saw this young man, she asked, "Zhao Bin, is it possible that you have such an expression that you have been defeated by the stationmaster Li again?"

  Zhao Bin spread his helpless hands and said, "Sister He, don't bother. Play with me...Ah? Sister He, are these two tourists from China?"

   "Well, my college classmate, just passed by here, so I will come and visit."

"Welcome you to the Yellow River Station." The young man was only polite, without the enthusiasm he imagined, and then said to He Rui: "Sister He, I will be separated. I have to quickly send this information to the mountain for the experiment. Let’s go and compare it, or else Station Master Li should be damning me again.” With that, the young man waved his hand to Yang Jing and Ge Ge and walked out in a hurry.

  Gege said wonderingly: "This guy doesn't seem to welcome us? We are from the country anyway, how can this guy not get excited at all when we meet at such a far place?"

He Rui smiled and said, "Haha, are you deflated? Four girls, let me tell you, it's not that Zhao Bin doesn't welcome you, nor is it that he is not excited when he sees a fellow countryman in China. It's mainly that since the beginning of summer, there have been people from China every day. Tourists come here. At the most, our Huanghe Station will receive three waves of domestic tourists a day. We are already numb to domestic visitors."

   Yang Jing and Ge Ge looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

   Yang Jing and Ge Ge followed He Rui as they walked in, and asked curiously: "Where did that young man send the materials? Do you want to let outsiders see your internal materials?"

He Rui explained: “Here, like sounding rockets, atmospheric environment research equipment, and a lot of observational data can be shared among the research stations of various countries. Zhao Bin is responsible for atmospheric environment monitoring. It is estimated that the data is wrong. Let the stationmaster Li send the materials to the laboratory on the top of Zeppelin for comparison."

   With such an explanation, Yang Jing and Gege understood.

   Although the Yellow River Station is the largest scientific research station in New Alesund, the combined area of ​​the two floors upstairs and downstairs is only 500 square meters, and the 32 rooms on average are not too big.

   There are not many people in the station, and Yang Jing estimates that there are more than 20 people. These people hurriedly met Yang Jing and Ge Ge, at most they would say hello with a smile, and then what should they do.

   He Rui led Yang Jing and the others into their office. Only then did Yang Jing and Grid discover that although the office was only about ten square meters in size, the layout inside was quite cozy.

   There are two pots of flowers on the windowsill, September chrysanthemum and fuchsia, which look very good. On the desk under the window sill are placed computers, various documents, and of course, the small flag is indispensable.

   In the corner of the room, there is a single bed. In addition, there is a large file cabinet and a few simple chairs in the room.

   "Sit, sit wherever you want." He Rui said as she began to make tea for the two of them, "The conditions here are relatively simple, you two should bear more."

  Gege smiled and said, "This is already very good. Can you ask for good conditions in this kind of place?"

   "Thank you for your support, and long live your understanding! I'll see if the stationmaster Li has time, if he has time, you can meet with stationmaster Li."

  Gege said: "It is best to meet up. We have prepared a lot of good things on the Blue Whale, and we also want to invite the compatriots in the station to go on the boat."

"Well, this reason is very good and powerful. I guess our stationmaster Li will not refuse such an invitation. He has been on duty here for a winter, and if you count this summer, it will be a whole year. If he can change his taste, he will definitely like it."

After a pause, He Rui said with some regret: "It's a pity that you two can't live here tonight~www.readwn.com~Because the environment here is too fragile, so if you are not a scientific researcher, you usually carry it. Although tourists’ cruise ships can berth at the port, tourists are not allowed to spend the night on the shore.”

   "What else do you say?"

"Yeah." He Rui nodded very affirmatively. "Our stationmaster Li is getting older and we abide by the rules in this respect. Therefore, we only have one day. Of course, if you have a place on board, we will be at night. You can continue talking."

   Grid looked at Yang Jing, Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "This is up to you. I am in charge of logistics. I can take care of the two young ladies. This is my biggest duty."

   He Rui nodded very satisfied and said: "I said Yang Jing, your sentence is my favorite sentence today."

   Grid covered her mouth and laughed. Although He Rui didn't smile, the smile between her eyebrows already showed her mood at this time.

   "Well, your sisters haven't seen each other for more than two years. Then you two will continue to talk here, I will go out and go around. At the same time, notify the ship and let the chef make more of it when cooking breakfast."

  Gege looked at Yang Jing apologetically and said, "Then be careful when you go out. Don't provoke those bad birds and don't let me cover your head at night."

   "How is it possible? I have a big white, those bad birds dare not approach me."

   said, Yang Jing waved his hand, opened the door and walked out.

   He Rui asked strangely: "Who is Da Bai?"

   Grid explained to his girlfriends, he was taken aback by hearing He Rui...
