The unparalleled talent of the country started from Harbin Institute of Technology

In late January 1999, Wang Yifei's final exam results came out.

Unsurprisingly, she got first place in the grade, which made her extremely happy.

This means she can do promotional work, appear on TV shows, sing songs, and so on.

While she was on her way to Shanghai to record a program, Wang Duoyu brought Liu Xiaoli and the children to Beijing.

This year, Lunar New Year's Eve and the Spring Festival fall on February 15th, which is still a long way off.

Wang Duoyu plans to travel to Antarctica, departing on the 30th of this month and returning before the 30th of the lunar calendar.

He wanted to go to Antarctica, and the children all wanted to go, but they were all stopped.

He claimed he was scouting out a route for the children, but in reality, he didn't want to bring them along, mainly because it was too much trouble.

White tofu, in particular, is very sticky.

Antarctica is too cold.

Even though Bai Doufu grew up in Harbin, a very cold place, it's nothing compared to Antarctica.

Anyway, he didn't plan to take the children with him.

After spending a day in Beijing, Wang Duoyu set off for Antarctica.

Of course, he went in secret and needed Liu Xiaoli and the others to help cover for him. This time, he didn't need Huang Deming's help, since Liu Xiaoli and the others already knew about it.

All we need to do is guard against outsiders.

After all, Wang Duoyu doesn't appear in the public eye very often. He's always in seclusion doing scientific research. Who knows what he's up to?
The plane took off from Beijing Capital International Airport, bound for Los Angeles, stopped at Los Angeles Airport for eight hours, and then continued to Buenos Aires.

After arriving in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I rested for a day because my butt was numb from sitting so much.

Of course, Wang Duoyu could sleep on the plane, since it was his private jet with a large bed.

But Yuan Zuliang and his colleagues couldn't get any sleep.

After resting for a day, Wang Duoyu and his group headed to the southernmost city, Ushuaia.

Once you arrive in Ushuaia, heading to Antarctica becomes much easier.

In early January, Wang Duoyu had already asked people from Want Want Group to help arrange the relevant team.

Three Antarctic ships will escort him to the Antarctic continent.

After resting for half a day in Ushuaia, Wang Duoyu and his group relaxed, enjoyed the local cuisine, and then set off for Antarctica.

After a series of close calls, we finally arrived at the Antarctic continent.

Upon arriving here, all that could be seen were endless glaciers, a vast expanse of white.

Moreover, it's February now, which is during the period of polar day.

The period of polar day in Antarctica is from September 23rd to March 21st of the following year.

After spending most of the day traveling around the Antarctic continent on an icebreaker, Wang Duoyu finally arrived at a place where they could land, and the group went ashore.

There's really nothing fun or interesting to see in Antarctica, because it's just a vast, desolate expanse. As for the penguins here, they smell terrible. Wang Duoyu had already smelled them and didn't want to go near them again.

To be honest, penguins are animals that should only be observed from afar and not approached.

I spent two days wandering around the mainland and didn't see a single person, but I did encounter danger several times.

Fortunately, Wang Duoyu and his team were well-prepared, and they managed to get through each dangerous situation without any real trouble.

Three days later, they withdrew from the land and left the continent.

In the following period, Wang Duoyu would wander around the Antarctic continent, fish, and enjoy the scenery.

"Hey, that's blue ice, right?"

That day, Wang Duoyu didn't remember what time it was, but he saw a huge blue block of ice outside.

The deep blue ice cubes look very beautiful.

The guide nodded and took the initiative to introduce the blue ice to Wang Duoyu.

In Antarctica, you can see two types of blue ice. One type is the snow layer on the surface of the ice sheet, which melts and freezes during the summer.

As we all know, ice itself is colorless, but because of the bubbles in ice, sunlight shines through and causes dispersion. Shorter wavelength blue light is easily scattered back, and what we see with the naked eye is blue ice.

It was summer in Antarctica, and this seasonal blue ice would then be covered by snowfall. The snow layer would then undergo a process of melting and freezing again, forming a sandwich-like 'sandwich ice'.

"Several years ago, the expedition team discovered a seasonal blue ice area in Antarctica, but after on-site investigation, they concluded that the thickness and load-bearing capacity of this ice were not suitable for use as a blue ice airport runway."

"The second type"

As expected of a professional guide, their understanding of Antarctica was indeed very in-depth.

The second type of blue ice was discovered by a previous Chinese scientific expedition team in the ice sheet near Zhongshan Station in the Larsemann Hills of East Antarctica.

The ice hole drilled with an ice drill is deep and clear, with no snow layer underneath, only dense ice.

Bubbles sealed in ice shrink in volume under prolonged pressure, and sunlight scattered through them emits a purer blue light.

This type of ice is hard and suitable for building blue ice airport runways.

The blue ice that Wang Duoyu and his friends are seeing now is the second type of blue ice.

Because the iceberg broke off from a huge block of ice, the massive blue ice beneath was now on the surface of the sea, looking incredibly beautiful under the sunlight.

"The formation of the second type of blue ice first involves three processes: snow accumulation, precipitate melting, and icing. Simply put, snow accumulates year after year and turns into ice."

"During this period, significant physical changes occurred. As ice layers gradually accumulated, the lower ice layer, under the pressure of the overlying ice layer, penetrated deep into the ice sheet over a long period of time. As a result, blistering within the ice decreased, the density of the ice increased, and it gradually flowed with the ice sheet to the edge of the continent, eventually becoming a blue, crystal-like ice body."

Wang Duoyu nodded thoughtfully.

The purpose of coming to Antarctica is, of course, to broaden one's horizons.

The scenery here is very beautiful, but after seeing it so many times, it no longer has the same awe as the first time you see it; all that remains is fatigue and boredom.

Suddenly, the fishing rod in his hand sank sharply, instantly dispelling his boredom.

"Is the big shipment being loaded?"

Sensing the movement from the fishing rod, the fishing line was quickly pulled away, and in the blink of an eye it had been stretched to over a hundred meters, making the length of the fishing line exceed three hundred meters.

So he didn't dare delay and immediately began to deal with the large cargo at the bottom of the sea.

Catching big fish requires patience, and it also requires a tug-of-war with the big fish on the seabed. You can't be too tense, nor can you relax too much.

Yuan Zuliang and the others, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but come over and ask if they needed any help.

However, Wang Duoyu rejected her.

He was fishing, nothing more, so there was no danger.

Although he was sea fishing and his experience wasn't extensive, he had fished for sturgeon quite a bit back in Harbin.

Previously in the Maldives, when competing with Wang Jianchao, he also caught a grouper weighing two or three hundred pounds.

What kind of cargo might be on the large shipments from Antarctica?

The tug-of-war lasted for nearly half an hour before Wang Duoyu finally saw the giant creature emerge from the sea.

Yuan Zuliang and the others who were watching were all astonished when they saw the enormous object.

Because this behemoth is really quite large, weighing at least one or two hundred pounds.

"what fish is this?"

Wang Duoyu couldn't recognize what kind of fish it was, since it was his first time in Antarctica and he only knew about penguins, krill, and other animals.

I'm not too sure about the rest.

The guide frowned, because he wasn't quite sure either.

"This might be an Antarctic toothfish. I heard from people in Europe that this fish is the most prized fish in the Antarctic ice sheet. It not only has a delicate texture and is easy to digest, but it is also rich in various nutrients, making it a highly nutritious deep-sea delicacy."

"Generally speaking, Antarctic toothfish, also known as Antarctic cod or merleco, is usually around 70 centimeters long and weighs no more than 10 kilograms."

"This is the first time I've ever seen such a large Antarctic toothfish. I've seen people catch Antarctic cod that are about 1.5 meters long before, and the meat was excellent."

"But this big fish is probably two and a half meters long, or even more than three meters, and it definitely weighs over three hundred kilograms."

Such a large fish naturally surprised everyone.

Wang Duoyu was also quite surprised.

Antarctic cod are not uncommon; in fact, their team had caught some just a few days ago.

However, those cod were only about 70 or 80 centimeters long, and the largest one was no more than 1.3 meters long.

This nearly three-meter-long Antarctic toothfish is likely not only the largest known Antarctic toothfish, but may even be a super king of fish.

"Never mind that for now, Lao Yuan, you guys find the right opportunity and get this behemoth up." Wang Duoyu nodded, no longer worrying about anything else. Let's get the behemoth up first.

I've heard that Antarctic cod is delicious, and I've tried it before.

But this enormous Antarctic cod, while its flesh might be tough, who knows if you've never eaten it?

Anyway, they had eaten cod that were over a meter long before, and the meat was tender and delicious, with excellent taste, which was no less than that of small fish that were only a few tens of centimeters long.

So Wang Duoyu didn't care about anything else and just wanted to catch them first.

With the combined efforts of Yuan Zuliang and his team, the Antarctic toothfish king, which was about three meters long, was finally retrieved and brought onto the deck.

The Antarctic ship they were on was an icebreaker, extremely sturdy and very large.

The deck is naturally very spacious.

A fish over three meters long appeared on the deck, attracting a crowd of onlookers and making the deck feel crowded for a moment.

Wang Duoyu smiled and didn't chase them away.

Those who came out with him were either guides from Antarctica, experts, security personnel like Yuan Zuliang, as well as crew members, cooks, doctors, and so on.

There was no other way; they were coming to Antarctica, so Wang Duoyu naturally needed to be fully prepared.

It's impossible that he came alone.

If any accident occurs while traveling in Antarctica, you will definitely need a doctor's help.

If any accidents occur to the icebreaker during the entire trip, repairs will naturally be needed.

A chef is indispensable, after all, Wang Duoyu can't just eat a few bites during the entire voyage.

"Yes, that's the Antarctic toothfish. My God, this is the first time I've ever seen such a large toothfish."

Antarctica has the Antarctic toothfish, and the Arctic has the Arctic cod.

However, this Antarctic guide had never seen such a large cod before.

Based on his experience working in Antarctica for over ten years, and considering the legends he had heard about Antarctic cod before, this was indeed the first time he had ever seen a three-meter-long Antarctic cod.

It's so rare.

"If we sold this, we could probably get a lot of money from it, right?"

Someone gasped and immediately shut up, because the weather in Antarctica was so cold that inhaling made his throat feel like it was being stabbed.

Great!
Do you think the professor would sell?

Wang Duoyu certainly wouldn't sell it; he didn't need the money.

Besides, he himself would like to try such a huge thing.

But there's no rush now, let's take some photos and videos to remember this moment.

Only then did the chef begin to process the enormous object.

More than half an hour later, Wang Duoyu returned to the restaurant. Looking at the cod that had been served, he took the first bite and his eyes lit up.

It's pretty good.

It tastes great.

After eating, the rest of the food will be frozen and preserved with blue ice. We'll bring it back to Harbin and let our family try it.

With such a large fish, and so many people in the Wang family, each person would probably get about one or two pounds on average.

Because we've already eaten about half of it.

After all, Wang Duoyu was willing to share with Yuan Zuliang and the others. Although it wasn't much, it was enough to have a full meal.

After experiencing the Antarctic toothfish, Wang Duoyu's subsequent travels became much more boring.

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the Little New Year in the south, he decided to leave Antarctica and return to Ice City.

Because there really isn't much fun left.

However, when he arrived in Ushuaia aboard an icebreaker, he encountered trouble.

Rewind a week, and the CIA headquarters in Washington received a top-secret intelligence report: Wang Duoyu had appeared in Argentina.

Although Wang Duoyu was traveling on a plane belonging to the Want Want Group, according to public information, it was a modified Boeing 747.

However, one of the co-pilots, while resting, logged onto the dark web and saw a bounty on the Want Want Group's boss.

The reward is ten million US dollars.

If the information can be verified, then you can receive this bonus.

So the co-pilot took a risk and found his son, arranging for him to complete the transaction.

The father and son worked together to take away all the gold worth ten million US dollars.

Yes, the co-pilot was very cunning; he didn't ask for US dollars in cash, but for gold.

Although gold is not currency and cannot be used directly.

However, gold can be melted down and refined to prevent it from being discovered by the CIA.

Because the CIA now has a lot of methods, such as location tracking chips, which can be melted into gold or hidden in banknotes.

In conclusion, the co-pilot was unwilling to take risks, which is why he chose to conduct the transaction in this manner.

After the transaction was completed, the co-pilot left with his family, intending to find a place to live under an assumed name for a while.

With so much gold, his family could live a very good life.

The CIA was overjoyed after obtaining this intelligence.

Director Vittorio Fleming personally issued an order to confirm whether it was indeed Wang Duoyu!
After several days of detailed investigation, it was confirmed that a super-rich individual had chartered a ship and two other private icebreakers to travel from Ushuaia to Antarctica.

After this was confirmed, more than 500 CIA agents gathered in the city of Ushuaia in just two days.

Moreover, they arrived here in a clandestine manner, carrying out a secret mission.

In other words, the outside world had no idea about this.

Five hundred CIA agents arrived, and they had only one purpose: to 'invite' Wang Duoyu to visit the United States.

When the icebreaker arrived at the Ushuaia port, Wang Duoyu was still immersed in the joy of returning home for the holiday, and without hesitation, he used his mobile phone to make a video call with Liu Xiaoli and the others.

But before Liu Xiaoli could answer the video call, Wang Duoyu could already hear gunshots coming from outside. The next moment, Yuan Zuliang and the others started knocking on the door.

Wang Duoyu immediately hung up the video call.

"Professor, something's happened. Someone attacked our icebreaker," Yuan Zuliang reported as he walked in with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Wang Duoyu's expression immediately darkened.

"Then let's find a way to get ashore first, and arrange for someone to draw fire. I'll notify someone to come pick us up right away."

Want Want Group also has many subsidiaries in South America, especially mining companies.

In order to drive away the Japanese zaibatsu, Wang Duoyu had many Chinese people sent here by the Want Want Group, so a relatively large force was built up here.

However, most of the military equipment is concentrated in Brazil, while Argentina doesn't have as much.

Nevertheless, Wang Duoyu's appearance in Ushuaia made Want Want Group very nervous. Their strategy of appearing relaxed on the outside but being tense on the inside has attracted a lot of people to Ushuaia.

However, the people at Want Want Group's Argentina branch were quite lacking in intelligence gathering.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been attacked before realizing something was wrong.

If their intelligence capabilities were even slightly better, things wouldn't have come to this.

Even now, we don't know who the people who attacked the icebreaker are.

Wang Duoyu didn't blame anyone too much. Now wasn't the time to deal with this matter. He wanted to get ashore first and leave these people behind.

It's not very good at sea.

"Yes, Professor!" Yuan Zuliang nodded seriously, looking outside.

Zhao Xianyou, Zheng Enxi, Zhang Xuji and their group are all battle-hardened special forces soldiers who have experienced this situation countless times.

The icebreaker's weaponry wasn't too bad, but it couldn't compare to that of the CIA agents.

They have submachine guns and machine guns, and they're even heavy machine guns. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a war.

This shows that these people are really crazy.

As CIA agents launched a fierce attack, causing many crew members who couldn't escape to fall, Wang Duoyu had already contacted the head of the Want Want Group's Ushuaia branch. After issuing the order, he instructed the Nuwa AI system to help gather intelligence. (End of Chapter)
