As he said this, he looked at Shao Zifeng with an expression that seemed like he had more to say but hesitated.
“You smoke, you smoke, don’t mind me.”
Cang Haiyuan was ecstatic, expertly picking up the cigar cutter and about to cut the cigar.
Unable to resist, Shao Zifeng asked, “It’s been over three hundred years, could it be expired?”
“Cigars don’t have an expiration date, because the maturation period for tobacco leaves is very long, and as long as it doesn’t go moldy, the older it is, the richer the draw,” Cang Haiyuan carelessly said, “Besides, tobacco is inherently a poison, what’s there to fear?”
Although it made sense, something still didn’t feel quite right?
I would call you the strongest.
Cang Haiyuan, holding the cigar cutter, didn’t make the cut.
In the end, he sighed deeply and put the cigar cutter back in the box.
“Forget it, it’s worth a lifetime just to have the chance to smell it, using such a precious thing would be a waste of heaven’s gifts.”
He carefully rewrapped the cigar in wax paper and placed it back in the wooden box, at the moment the brass lock clicked shut, Shao Zifeng thought he heard someone’s heart breaking.
“For you.”
Looking at the wooden box he offered, Shao Zifeng shook his head, “If it was given to you, you take it.”
Cang Haiyuan’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the wooden box, as if resisting some impulse in his heart, he looked up at Shao Zifeng with a serious expression, “These might be the last two 300-year-old cigars in the world, do you know their value?”
“Not exaggerating, to those billionaires who like to collect cigars, these two cigars are worth at least two 3S mutant creatures.”
3S is akin to five stars, right?
My pets are all five stars, okay, who are you looking down on.
Internally scoffing, Shao Zifeng maintained an impassive face, “Friendship shouldn’t be measured in value.”
Cang Haiyuan looked at Shao Zifeng earnestly, as if seeing him for the first time.
After a moment, Cang Haiyuan laughed lightly, “Then I’ll accept it, don’t worry, as a friend I will definitely reciprocate.”
Shao Zifeng just smiled and didn’t take it to heart.
Because for him, these two cigars really had no monetary value, and if he really needed money, wouldn’t it be better to exchange ‘the glory of the Karen family’ with the Karen family?
At that thought, Shao Zifeng was taken aback.
Right.
I wonder if the Karen family still exists.
If they do…
Well.
For now, contemplating these things seems quite distant, let’s focus on surviving and getting out of Antarctica first.
“You guys, ready for training or what!”
At this moment, the trainer, who had been holding back for a while, couldn’t stand it anymore and burst out. Chatting is fine, but standing there talking for so long, are you looking down on someone?
“Let’s go over.”
Yang Qi was more on the sensitive side, feeling somewhat embarrassed being watched by so many people.
Shao Zifeng whispered, “What are they training us for?”
“All-terrain snow vehicles,” Yang Qi whispered back, “We were planning to set off in… well, it’s always daylight here, so we can’t tell day from night, but we were planning to leave after 8 hours.”
“But because of the incident on the way here, we still don’t know if there will be a delay.”
When the three of them arrived in front of the instructor, he had just finished speaking.
“Alright, I’ve told you all the precautions just now. Newcomers, ask others if you have any questions. Next, you will come with me to try out the practical operation.”
Shao Zifeng curled his lip.
It’s just driving, what’s there to fuss about.
Talking about precautions.
Even without having learned driving, I’ve driven someone to their death on Xilan Island.
Hmm, that doesn’t seem like something to be proud of.
After the middle-aged instructor finished speaking, he pulled down his goggles and strode out first.
The people following Chen Yixin to cross Antarctica, besides those from Huofeng Military tasked with protecting her safety, included five others.
Among these five, three were researchers from Chen Yixin’s team, with only Cang Haiyuan’s identity being unclear, and Shao Zifeng acting as an unaffiliated participant.
As elites of the Huofeng Military, they had trained with various types of vehicles in the army, so only the five of them were there for training.
The moment they opened the door, a piercing cold wind made everyone shiver in unison.
That’s when Shao Zifeng really got a good look at the new station by Ross Bay.
The oppressive dark clouds were just as they had always been, obscuring the sky and making it impossible to tell if it was day or night.
Surrounding them were rolling mountains, low and gentle, which had the ink painting charm against the leaden background.
The location of the new Ross Sea station was nestled within a semi-open valley amidst the mountains.
The advantages of this terrain were the low mountains, sparing the worry of avalanches, and the mountain mass could block the Antarctic winds that blow over 300 days a year, reducing the risk of wind disasters.
Because it was still under construction, most of the buildings in this research station, which spanned several thousand square meters, were still rough structures, but the site was beginning to take shape.
As for their current location, it was the only building in the new station that was operational.
From the exterior, it was clear that this building was constructed using modified shipping containers.
These containers were transformed in China and hauled to Antarctica to be assembled like building blocks, the most time and labor-efficient method.
However, the flaw was that due to the constraints of the shipping container specifications, both the internal space and capabilities for insulation and wind protection were not very strong. In the event of strong winds and severe cold, there was a high risk of casualties among the personnel inside the building.
In front of this container-built structure was a small plaza, where, apart from two helicopters, there were also five all-terrain snow vehicles parked.
These were the equipment they would use to cross Antarctica.
Snow vehicles are light with a small size, and their primary index is to maximize load capacity. Also, to simplify the structure and reduce weight, the cockpit only accommodates 1 driver and 1-2 passengers. With just essential equipment such as heaters and defrosters, the vehicles are simple in design, reliable, durable, with high climbing ability–these are the basic advantages of current snow vehicle equipment.
All-terrain off-road vehicles and snow vehicles are actually two categories, but for the sake of convenience, Daxia’s all-terrain snow vehicles cover both functions. They are capable of both all-terrain extreme off-roading and focused snow travel.
Switching between the two only requires changing two wheels.
To enhance traction in the snow and distribute their own weight, snow vehicles need to switch the two rear wheels for triangular track wheels, somewhat similar to a tank’s tracks, except that the snow vehicle’s tracks are made of rubber.
So the first lesson of training is to change the wheels yourself, choosing the most suitable tires based on the terrain ahead.
“You must remember, the wheel change determines whether your next stage of travel is safe. Everyone must master the most effective and efficient tire-changing technique because, in Antarctica, time and physical strength are the most important,” the instructor said.
“One vehicle per person, start changing the tires.”
Shao Zifeng and the others each took a large wrench and, dressed in heavy protective suits, began laboriously removing the wheels in the snow.
