The Amazing son in law Chapter 7854
Wu Bolin (Bick), who became the master of Wu Han Palace, reorganized and restructured the internal structure of Wu Han Palace.
First, he ordered the demolition of a nearly 100-square-meter polar laboratory, clearing out all the items inside, and then used it as his own bedroom.
It was called a bedroom, but it was actually a place for meditation and cultivation. After all, for someone of his level of cultivation, sleep was no longer a necessity of life.
Secondly, he merged the dormitories of the Japanese research team members. Previously, some leaders could stay in single rooms, but now they have all been converted into four-person rooms. The dormitories closest to his palace have been completely emptied, thus creating an additional layer of physical isolation between him and the others.
However, Wu Bolin (Bick) did not remain immersed in this empty fame and the illusion of being worshipped by dozens of people.
After a simple internal renovation, he asked Kohei Kikuchi to find the largest and most detailed map of Antarctica and began to plan future exploration directions on the map in search of the legendary Gate of Ascension.
He instructed Kohei Kikuchi to mark the area within a 50-kilometer radius of all Antarctic research stations on a map using a compass, based on the situation of human activities in Antarctica, and then to mark the area within a 100-kilometer radius of the South Pole using a compass as well.
Looking at the scattered circles on the map, Wu Bolin (Bick) focused his attention on the areas furthest from the circles, or areas where no circles appeared at all.
He felt that modern people had been exploring Antarctica for many years, and these research stations and the area around the South Pole must have been explored by them. Even if there were any relics of cultivators, they would probably have been discovered long ago. Therefore, he planned to ignore these places and focus on those places that were rarely visited by humans, or even places that were almost impossible for humans to explore.
At first, he thought he would go alone, since as long as he was on land, this kind of environment would not be a problem for him at all.
But he soon realized a serious problem: he had difficulty finding his way in the polar night of Antarctica.
Besides, with so many free laborers from Japan, why not make the most of them?
So, he used a red marker to circle several areas on the huge map, and then pointed to the nearest one and asked Kikuchi Kohei, “How long would it take us to drive here?”
Kohei Kikuchi measured the distance on the map with a ruler and then calculated it on a calculator. He said, “Reporting to the master, it is about 300 kilometers to here. However, we need to go around some mountains, so the total distance is about 400 kilometers. The snowmobile will need two days to travel.”
Wu Bolin (Bick) said calmly, “Four hundred kilometers is too far to cover in two days. Go and organize a team of ten people in three cars. We’ll set off in two hours and must arrive within 24 hours.”
Without any hesitation, Kikuchi Kohei immediately said respectfully, “Yes, Master, I will make the arrangements right away.”
Two hours later, a ten-person team had assembled in the courtyard of Wu Han Palace.
They prepared three tracked snowmobiles, which are very large and each can fit ten people.
Wu Bolin (Bick) rode in one car, while Kikuchi Kohei drove, and the rest of the passengers rode in two other cars.
Three snowmobiles drove out of the camp and headed towards the mountains hundreds of kilometers away.
Wu Bolin (Bick)’s vehicle was in the middle of the convoy. He didn’t rush to meditate and cultivate. Instead, he sat in the passenger seat, looking at the vast ice-covered continent around him, and asked Kikuchi Kohei, “Kikuchi, how thick is the ice sheet in Antarctica?”
“Ice layer?” Kohei Kikuchi paused, then said, “You mean the ice cap, right?”
Wu Bolin (Bick) waved his hand: “It’s the same thing. I just want to know how thick this ice layer is between the ice layer and the actual land.”
Kohei Kikuchi thought for a moment and said, “The vast majority of flat land in Antarctica is made up of ice sheets formed entirely from frozen seawater, with an average thickness of over two thousand meters.”
“Two thousand meters…” Wu Bolin (Bick) was somewhat shocked.
