Chapter 128 Chat

The scientists stopped discussing and headed straight for the snowmobiles.

The remaining three snowmobiles on this side of the crevice had already traveled quite a distance before rushing towards the crevice.

At this moment, the motorcycle flying over the crevice was carrying two people, and when it took off, it had already reached a speed of 320 kilometers per hour.

At that speed, the snowmobile easily carried the two people across the crevice, which was more than four meters wide.

The remaining two followed suit, and like the motorcycle, they also flew across the great crevice at the same time.

Just as the three motorcycles were waiting for the last one by the crack, the last one finally landed.

The snowmobile crashed heavily near the crevasse, but just as it hit the ice,

The ice surface near the crevice was already overburdened and began to crack. Unseen by them, chunks of ice were breaking off from the crevice walls.

The ice chunks were breaking off at an increasingly faster speed, gradually affecting the ice surface, and cracks began to appear on the ice under the three snowmobiles.

The ice surface shattered in an instant, just like an avalanche, very rapidly.

The last motorcycle that flew by came to a stop after braking for more than 20 meters.

The last team member carrying the equipment stopped the vehicle and looked behind him.

What happened next horrified him: the ice where the three motorcycles were located was slowly sinking.

The team members on the three motorcycles above had no idea that this was happening.

"Old Chen, come here quickly and move closer to me. You're descending with the ice!"

Run! The ice is breaking!

The five people on the three motorcycles couldn't hear what was said; the strong wind drowned out their words.

Someone vaguely heard words like "ice surface," "broken," and "run," and being cautious, this person immediately looked down at the ground.

The ice on the surface where the motorcycle was standing already had large cracks; it wouldn't hold for long before it completely shattered.

They would fall into the bottomless crevice as the ice broke apart, and would eventually be declared missing.

"Everyone, step on the gas and run towards Lao Liu! If we don't run now, we'll really perish under the Antarctic ice!"

I ordered us to head towards Old Liu's location, at top speed!

Everyone looked puzzled, but they all obeyed the captain's orders.

The moment the three motorcycles started moving, the ice beneath them finally gave way and began to crack in large areas.

The next scene was like something out of a movie: three motorcycles were running ahead, with a huge chasm chasing after them.

By the time the three motorcycles reached the last one, the crack had stopped expanding.

All six of them breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, they hadn't been buried alive.

"Holy crap, that's so exciting! It reminds me of Han Ziang driving a truck at breakneck speed across the ice."

"Hey, it really is! We've really escaped death, haven't we? This close call was all thanks to this Teng Liu motorcycle!"

This is truly worthy of Teng Liu! May the Ice and Snow Goddess bless us!

When I get back, I'm determined to get this whole thing from the dashcam footage.

I'm going to post this on Kuaishou and Douyin International to share our brush with death.

After saying that, the group burst into laughter, which dispelled their previous fear.

The appearance of this crack not only affected this expedition team, but also caused casualties to Antarctic expedition teams from other countries.

Li Zhenhua, far away in Kyushu, was completely unaware of these events; he was in the factory smelting new materials.

Preparing the materials is not simple; a slight mistake can result in a batch of waste materials, which is, of course, unavoidable.

Fortunately, he also had this analytical eye to assist him, which greatly reduced the scrap rate.

Meanwhile, in the warehouse where the raw materials were stored, there were already piles of materials that he had successfully smelted, including high-temperature resistant materials, ultra-wear-resistant materials, and so on.

They're all piled up here, waiting to release the internal stress.

He continued preparing materials without stopping for a moment.

Upon returning to the research station, the six members of the Antarctic team immediately reported what they had encountered to their superiors.

At this moment, everyone at Kunlun Station knew what had happened to them, because the dashcam in the car had faithfully recorded their ordeal.

This thrilling scene became the center of discussion at the Antarctic station, and their second topic of conversation was their outstanding contribution.

The snowmobile that successfully brought the six people back was the "Tengliu - Ice and Snow Goddess Snowmobile" produced by Kyushu Mythical Beasts Company.

Of the six, the team member who said he would post a video did indeed do so, capturing all the events that had happened to them and posting them on Kuaishou International.

On Kuaishou International, when people saw the video posted by this team member, everyone thought it was a trailer for some movie.

The video was thrown down, but it didn't make a ripple on the vast internet.

And so, the incident gradually faded from people's view online.

As the year drew to a close, Guo Shugui returned from out of town.

This was also the most leisurely time of the year for the three of them.

The three of them were sitting on an open space in the factory area of ​​the county town. There was a barbecue grill in the middle, and the three of them were sitting on a small table with a pitcher of fresh beer in front of each of them.

On a table next to the low table, there were two one-year-old lambs, with the lamb meat already prepared.

Two women were busy cutting meat at the table. One of them was Li Yun, and the other was Wang Mei, Liu Xiaodong's black belt girlfriend.

The two women were chopping food, chatting and laughing, and it was unclear what they were discussing that made them laugh so brightly.

The three of them sat together chatting while enjoying their fresh beer.

"You two are so unfair! You're just trying to tempt me, don't you know that?"

"So you think you're showing off by having women, huh! Next time I'll definitely bring two!"

Guo Shugui was clearly exasperated as he made his sarcastic remarks, and Liu Xiaodong immediately retorted with insults.

"Get lost! What's the background of the person you called? And what about those two next to him?"

If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all, or you'll drag me down with you!

I don't want to go back and have Wang Mei give me a good kick so I can finally get some sleep!

Li Zhenhua looked at Guo Shugui, and the meaning in his eyes was quite obvious.

The three chatted and laughed, and after the two women cut and skewered the meat, the three of them began their barbecue.

The five people grilled and ate, while the three men added another item to their conversation: they were discussing the company's development for next year.

"Let me start. This year, our company produced a total of over 40,000 motorcycles of various types..."

Liu Xiaodong began by recounting his work over the past year, and after summarizing, he moved on to his plans.

"That's the situation this year. You can see it in the financial statements, Mr. Li."

The plans for next year remain largely unchanged; they will still revolve around the two main business areas.

Another issue is the Spring Festival lottery. We will be holding the lottery at midnight on New Year's Eve.

Thirty winners were randomly selected from among the owners of the White Tiger car, and the prize was a watch made by Lao Li. If you ask me, these winners really got a great deal!

The two people on the other side listened attentively to his story, but their hands never stopped eating skewers. Eating skewers doesn't conflict with anything else!

Guo Shugui then summarized his work and explained his plans.

Then it was Li Zhenhua's turn to talk. He had a skewer in one hand and a beer in the other, and he was having a great time.

Finally, he wiped his mouth, cleared his throat, and then spoke.

"Ahem~, it's my turn, isn't it? I haven't accomplished anything particularly remarkable this year."

Basically, they redesigned a motorcycle and developed an engine for another manufacturer.

I haven't achieved much in our main business of motorcycles.

This is my summary of the past year!

After hearing this, Liu Xiaodong and Guo Shugui glared at him through gritted teeth.

This is what you call not achieving anything? And yet, the two of them were almost worked to death. If he had made any great achievements, who knows if they would have worked themselves to death!

"Damn it, Zhenhua, stop talking nonsense. If you keep saying that, I'm going to beat you up!"

Shugui and I are well aware of what you've done over the past year, except for failing to fulfill your role as chairman.

You're doing a pretty good job as a research scientist!

After Liu Xiaodong finished speaking, Guo Shugui nodded frantically to the side.

Then Guo Shugui spoke up and asked him questions.

"Zhenhua, you've caused too much trouble this year. It's fine if you cause trouble, but it's what made Xiaodong and me cry."

This year has been exhausting, please don't cause any more trouble next year! Please!

Guo Shugui looked pitiful, like a stray dog ​​that had been abandoned, with helpless eyes.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Guo Shugui seemed to remember something, and his helpless eyes turned into fear.

Looking at Li Zhenhua, he said in a trembling voice, "What have you been tinkering with lately? I suddenly have a bad feeling about this."

I think you're going to cause us two a lot of trouble, keeping us busy from the beginning to the end of the year!

Tell me the truth, how accurate is my premonition?

Although he initially expressed genuine concern about new products, as he regained his senses, his subsequent words were actually a test.

To test what Li Zhenhua had done and whether it would turn them back into donkeys in the production team!

"Your premonition is very inaccurate. You should just focus on your work. To be honest, that's what I'm telling you."

The things I've been working on this time won't show any results in the short term.

At my pace, it would take at least a year.

Then you'll see how I shock the world!

After hearing his words, the two felt more at ease. Although it was said to shock the world, they were both satisfied after knowing that he wouldn't cause any trouble for a year.

"Alright, now that you say that, we're half relieved. But if you cause trouble again next year, we'll fight you to the death."

And are we getting our share of profits this year? I'm really looking forward to taking that money home so my dad can acknowledge my achievements!

Guo Shugui looked at Li Zhenhua with anticipation.

"How could we not distribute dividends? We'll each contribute 200 million, with 50 million going to employees as year-end bonuses."

The remaining amount will be split among the three of us. That works out to 22.5 million each. Is that acceptable?
