Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 636 What is Privilege?

We have to hurry up and do a cruise in the middle, hoping to arrive before dark. "

Bi Fang put the documents and the magnetic card back into the inner pocket, zipped it up, and started trotting in the direction of the seed bank.

[Before dark? Is it far away? 】

[When I got off the plane just now, it was just light, Lao Fang is planning to run all day? 】

【Fang Shen: I can last a whole day】

【Really, I don't believe it, come and try (pull up the skirt)】

[You guys are stupid, this is in the North Pole, there is polar day and polar night, it is October, and it will soon enter polar night, and the daytime is very short! I guess only a few hours! 】

"That's right." Bi Fang smiled, "Every year from November to February, the Arctic Circle will enter the polar night, and there will be no daylight. This is also the most difficult part of my survival."

Bi Fang plans to start the live broadcast of Survival on October 15.

According to the Bureau of Meteorology, this year's polar night will begin on November 2.

In other words, Bi Fang only has less than 18 days to build a safe house that can survive continuously, after which Eternal Night will be ushered in.

Until February 13th, there will be no sunshine in the entire Arctic Circle.

Humans are diurnal animals.

Without the sun, one can imagine the difficulty of finding supplies in the dark!

And because there is no largest source of heat radiation, the temperature of the entire Arctic will continue to drop.

hiss!

The audience gasped, so scary?

[I always thought that the polar night is 24 hours of total darkness, and then there are a few hours of sunshine. . . 】

[Yongye, it sounds like the end of the world in a novel. 】

[It's so scary, how many months of dark nights? Can a person really survive a hundred days in this environment? Even the Inuit can't do it, can they? 】

It is hard for the audience to imagine, how can a person spend a hundred days in the dark night?

The road became more and more deviated, and within half an hour of walking, there was no one around.

Leaving the human city, the temperature has been dropping. After getting off the cruise ship, Bi Fang had to put on a hat to resist the wind and snow and move forward, leaving deep footprints with every step.

Surrounded by pure white snowfields, if it weren't for the footprints along the road, some people even wondered if Bi Fang had lost his way.

As the sun was about to sink, a rectangular wedge of concrete appeared at the end of the snow field, in stark contrast to the snowy scene, casting long shadows under the white snow, resembling a huge battleship with only the mast sticking out of the sea.

Bi Fang took off his hat, rubbed his hands together, and took out the thermometer.

Sixteen degrees below zero.

It was desolate and windy all around.

"Fortunately, it's not particularly cold, and we finally caught up before sunset." Bi Fang let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, from the time of departure to the present, only five hours have passed.

In early October, the days have become very short.

"Let's go, let's hurry over."

Bi Fang pulled his feet out of the snow and ran towards the seed bank.

After walking into the audience, they found that the fortress has a strong futuristic atmosphere. The square wedge-shaped appearance looks like an alien spaceship buried under the snow-capped mountains.

The frontmost layer is full of irregular reflective lenses, which look a bit like glass, reflecting faint blue light.

On the slopes of the snow-capped mountains behind, a few polar bears hovered above, watching Bi Fang, an outsider, from top to bottom, like the defenders guarding the seed bank.

If the distance between the two sides was not more than 300 meters, Bi Fang would definitely run first to show respect.

Bi Fang stepped onto the short bridge made of barbed wire and came to the gate of this doomsday seed vault. Before he could swipe his card, he heard the sound of the mechanism turning.

The door opened automatically, and a man with curly hair and eyes came out. Seeing Bi Fang shaking his phone, he smiled and took off his gloves: "Welcome, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Hello." Bi Fang's eyes were sharp, and he saw that his live broadcast was displayed on his mobile phone. It seemed that the other party was indeed waiting for him.

The man turned sideways, giving way to one person.

Bi Fang entered it and looked around curiously. It was the first time he had seen the interior of the seed bank. What he saw was a small tunnel-like room filled with the sound of electrical and cooling equipment running. There is another door with a password switch on it.

The man led Bi Fang to the door and introduced himself along the way, making him very acquainted.

Cowper Barrett, a pedantic man with black-rimmed glasses, made him look learned.

"So you are the caretaker here?"

"Guardian? Oh, no." Barrett shook his head. "The seed bank doesn't need a keeper. I just took on the role of 'tour guide'. To be honest, I only got here one day earlier than you."

Bi Fang was stunned.

Barrett said: "Only a few hundred people have visited the seed bank after it was built. There is no one on duty. Everything is running automatically. In fact, if it really needs people to guard it to ensure stable functions, then we need to doubt it. It’s not really able to operate automatically under the doomsday crisis.”

[Wow, that sounds so cool]

【Real leather】

[It smells like that. 】

The two quickly came to the gate. Seeing that Barrett was about to enter the password, Bi Fang hurriedly covered the camera lens of the drone.

Barrett smiled: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you see it, we will revise it every once in a while."

[That is, can there be more trust between people? 】

[Damette, Lao Fang, you don't believe us! 】

Bi Fang shrugged helplessly, and lowered his right hand that was blocking the camera.

With the sound of the air valve deflated, the door slowly opened.

The strip lights slowly turned on, and everyone couldn't wait to see that there was a long concrete tunnel inside.

Barrett led the way: "When it was first established, the workers dug a 120-meter-long tunnel inward to reach the permafrost inside the cave, which is the one we are walking through now."

In the long tunnel, Barrett's voice echoed, empty and far away.

The two walked together, and the drone followed them, capturing everything in it, feasting the audience's eyes.

They have only seen such futuristic technological scenes in movies, but they never thought that they would actually exist in reality.

"This seed bank is indeed a frequent visitor in the movie, and it appeared in the Wandering Earth." Barrett saw the barrage and responded jokingly.

【Damn it, my mother said why it looks so familiar, it really does】

【Real cow】

[Stop talking, I've already started building a bunker in the yard, ready to deal with the doomsday]

[You still have a yard? Dead dog now! 】

"Mr. Bi Fang is the first tourist to set foot here in the seed bank this year." Barrett took Bi Fang through the long tunnel and told a news that surprised everyone.

"The first one?"

"There is no one on duty in the sample library, and it is only opened 2-3 times a year to accept samples and receive visits from important guests. So far, only a few hundred people have visited."

"Crown Prince Magnus of Norway visited the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in person. During the period, he proposed to take a look at the 'core area' of the Seed Vault, which is the storage room, but was rejected."

"Former Ugly President Carter came here with the staff of the Save the World Foundation, but still failed to enter the 'heart' of the seed bank."

The audience froze.

This place, Lao Fang just brought them in like this?

[What is an important guest (tactical retreat)! 】

Passing through this circular corridor more than 100 meters long, I finally came to a room with a slightly wider area. In front of me was a large iron door that was frozen, and behind the door was a warehouse for storing seeds.

The door slammed open, and Barrett's voice was solemn.

"Welcome to 'Noah's Ark', Mr. Bi Fang."
