The Amazing son in law Chapter 7852
In temperatures below minus fifty degrees Celsius, Kohei Kikuchi managed to break out in a sweat. The sweat fell onto his eyelashes and was blown into ice crystals by the cold wind. Over time, this resulted in two thick, icy eyebrows hanging on his eyelids.
He rushed to Wu Bolin (Bick), knelt on one knee, and said like a Qing Dynasty servant, “Reporting to Guanghan Zhenren, all members of the Showa Station are ready!”
Wu Bolin (Bick) frowned and demanded, “Say it again, what station?!”
Kikuchi Kohei then noticed the three Chinese characters on the stone tablet behind Wu Bolin (Bick) and quickly corrected himself, saying, “Reporting to Guanghan Zhenren, all members of Wuhan Palace are ready!”
Wu Bolin (Bick) was finally satisfied and said coldly, “Since you’re ready, let’s begin!”
Like a conductor of a symphony orchestra, Kohei Kikuchi turned to look at the crowd, waved his hands, and the group shouted in extremely strange accents: “Zai Xia Shen Jian Gong Han Zhenren!”
The crowd shouted with great enthusiasm, and the white mist they exhaled rose up simultaneously, merging into one, creating a truly spectacular sight.
Wu Bolin (Bick) was momentarily stunned, thinking he had misheard. He was the Guanghan Zhenren, so how could these Japanese people insist on calling him the Gonghan Zhenren?
I initially thought these Japanese were deliberately being disobedient, but then I realized that didn’t make sense. They’d already been given psychological suggestions; even if I made them stand naked in minus fifty degrees Celsius, they wouldn’t hesitate for even half a second. It was clearly a matter of language ability.
So he said to Kohei Kikuchi with a dark face, “From today onwards, teach them to speak Chinese for six hours every day, and each person is only allowed to sleep for three hours a day!”
Kohei Kikuchi immediately replied loudly, “Yes, sir!”
At this time, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, thousands of kilometers away, was unaware that members of its two scientific expedition teams, along with the crew of its only heavy icebreaker, had become Wu Bolin (Bick)’s lackeys.
Since they learned that the research vessel had safely arrived in Antarctica, they hadn’t paid much attention to the research team’s situation, because the team was carrying out routine tasks, and they assumed that these professionals would smoothly complete the handover of personnel and supplies in the next few days.
Three days later, when the Chinese language skills of these research team members had improved significantly, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology received a message from the research vessel.
The research vessel experienced a mechanical failure and needed to be cleared on the spot before it could begin its return voyage.
The officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology were a little puzzled. How could a brand-new research vessel break down as soon as it arrived in Antarctica? Normally, minor mechanical failures would not affect normal navigation and would be repaired as it sailed. But now it was completely immobile and would have to be repaired in Antarctica.
So they immediately called the research vessel, expressing their biggest concern: “Can you dare to come back before the coastline freezes beyond its icebreaking limit?”
Captain Matsushita Heikichi replied: “It is unpredictable. Please have the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology prepare for the possibility that the research vessel may not be able to return this winter.”
