The Amazing son in law Chapter 7861

When charlie wade heard the faint sound of an engine, the other three girls were completely confused.

Apart from the sound of the wind and the rustling of the wind blowing the ice and snow on the ground, there is no other sound here. How could there be a helicopter?

Moreover, when they arrived at the research station and met with the Nordic research team, they heard them say that helicopters are rarely used in Antarctica during the winter. Unless there is an emergency concerning personal safety, it is absolutely impossible to risk starting them, as a slight mistake could result in the destruction of the aircraft and the loss of life.

However, since charlie wade said he heard it, they all believed that charlie wade was definitely not just saying it casually.

So Lin Wan’er (Alani) said, “Perhaps it’s another scientific expedition team’s helicopter on a mission.”

charlie wade said, “If helicopters are really deployed for the mission, it’s highly likely that someone has been injured.”

As he spoke, he frowned and said, “The helicopter seems to be getting closer and closer to us.”

At this moment, dozens of kilometers away, Wu Hangong’s helicopter was searching along the predetermined route.

They mounted an aerial ice radar on the helicopter and used it at full power to detect the ice sheet below.

Their planned flight path brought them within a few kilometers of the Nordic research station. Because they needed to explore the ice sheet, they had to precisely control the helicopter’s altitude, keeping it as close to the ground as possible.

As the helicopter drew closer, Yun Rugo and Song Ruyu also heard its movements. Yun Rugo asked charlie wade, “Mr. wade, should we go back first, or wait here and see?”

“Let’s wait and see,” charlie wade said. “They’ve flown this far; it doesn’t seem like they’re here to rescue people. After all, in such extreme weather, who would send someone out to carry out a mission this far?”

“Okay.” The group decided to wait and see which country’s research helicopter would be carrying out such a large-scale mission at this time.

Because Wu Han Palace’s scientific research helicopter was conducting exploration, it was not moving very fast. The four of them waited for a long time before a helicopter appeared in the aurora-covered sky.

Although they were still several kilometers away, charlie wade immediately spotted the large red circle on the fuselage and exclaimed in surprise, “Looks like a Japanese helicopter. What are they up to at this time of year?”

Lin Wan’er (Alani) remembered something and said, “When you were in seclusion, I saw some news about Antarctica. It seems that the Japanese research team launched their largest-ever winter research expedition to Antarctica this year. It is said that the research stations are fully staffed or even almost overstaffed.”

“Oh?” charlie wade also found it strange and said, “We’ve been here once before, so we know that even if some countries have permanent stations that are still operating year-round, they are reducing their personnel to ensure sufficient supplies. After all, it’s not easy to supply supplies, and now they can’t even get them in. With Japan launching such a large-scale operation this time, can their supply reserves be used?”

Lin Wan’er (Alani) shook her head: “I don’t know about that, but what you said makes sense. Even if they can bring a lot of supplies through the research vessel, the scale of the research station is limited. Take our current research station, for example. First of all, there is a clear limit to the fuel reserves. Moreover, the construction of the oil storage tank is very troublesome. Not only does the entire oil storage tank equipment need to be transported directly from other continents, but the supporting stabilization equipment and transmission pipelines also need to be transported to the station. The oil tanks need to be unloaded from the ship and transported to the research station. A large pit also needs to be dug to bury them. This definitely cannot be completed in winter. They have not announced any information about the expansion of the research station. With so many people suddenly coming, the fuel and supplies may not be enough.”

“What’s more, they’re using helicopters on such a large scale. I’ve looked at the map these past few days and roughly know the locations of some other countries’ research stations. It’s at least 300 kilometers from the Japanese research station. Their helicopters not only didn’t turn back, but they kept going forward. This trip will probably consume a lot of fuel. Are they just trying to survive? If dozens of people don’t have fuel to generate electricity and keep warm, it could easily lead to deaths.”
