Chapter 1078 Quantum Laser Drilling Equipment
Landing on the Antarctic coast is just the beginning of the journey.
Antarctica is vast and endless, with countless iceberg islands, and the Antarctic coast is thousands of kilometers away from the Antarctic inland mountains at the very center of Antarctica.
Moreover, in Antarctica, there are only a handful of countries that can establish scientific research stations in the inland of Antarctica. The United States, Russia, Japan, Germany, France, etc... Scientific research station at Qiong a
.
There are 4 most important points in the Antarctic region: pole, freezing point, magnetic point and high point.
The first three points are occupied by the United States, Russia, and France.
The last high point belongs to Kunlun Station.
Therefore, the Kunlun scientific expedition team followed by Gong Siyu and Yu Nai is a top-notch polar scientific expedition. However, in addition to Kunlun Station, there are Great Wall Station and Zhongshan Station in China.
The final area where the frozen lake is located is in the inland mountains of Antarctica, on the ice sheet not far from "Ice Dome A" of Kunlun Station.
But Kunlun Station is located in the inland Antarctica at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, where the oxygen content is only about 60% of the rest of the world. Not only that, the temperature of "Ice Dome A" is very low, even if the summer average temperature is at -30℃ about.

Before they disembarked, Miyajiyu and Yuno, who landed on the Antarctic coast, collectively put on polar cold protection equipment, carried luggage, and carried satellite communication phones and high-tech equipment such as remote sensing detectors.
There are special personnel on the icebreaker responsible for unloading the materials, and there is a snow material transportation convoy stationed at the South Pole to transport all the materials to the Kunlun Station in the inland Antarctica on behalf of the scientific expedition team. However, the private materials of Miyajiyu are left to them Bring it yourself.
Twelve snowmobiles transported more than 600 tons of materials to Kunlun Station of Ice Dome A.
Each snowmobile pulls 4 to 6 sleds, and the entire fleet is two kilometers long, like the same train.
"Mr. Gong, we have to go to Zhongshan Station first. There are fixed-wing aircrafts that can go directly to the inland Antarctica. Otherwise, if we hike and ride with snow, it will take us at least 10 days to reach the inland ice mountains."
Zhongshan Station is another domestic Antarctic scientific research site.
From Pei Tianning’s mouth, Gong Siyu learned that the original inland environment where Kunlun Station was located was too harsh, so after the completion of Kunlun Station, it will rely on Zhongshan Station, 1,280 kilometers away, as a support base to transport materials.
In the snowfield zone, the progress is very slow, because of the dangers, if you are careless, the ice sheet is cracked, forming huge glacier cracks, or encountering an avalanche disaster.

Time passed by unconsciously.
In a blink of an eye, Gong Siyu and the group of them came to the Kunlun Station in the inland of Antarctica to stay temporarily. It has been seven days a week.
During the polar day of Antarctica, even at night, the sky here will not be dark.
From the first three days of arrival, everyone has an extraordinary desire to explore this uninhabited snowy land. Every day they drove a snowmobile to go laps, or follow the scientific expedition team to the ice field where the frozen lake is located.
To the seventh day today.
Yuno and Aluo no longer want to leave the comfort zone of Kunlun Station.
Because the Antarctic Inland Ice Dome A, where Kunlun Station is located, is a no-man’s land for thousands of kilometers, and the landscape is extremely monotonous. It is all white, giving people a feeling of isolation and even more annoying. It is the strong light of the extreme day that can cause people to suffer from snow blindness, that is, temporary blindness, but fortunately, Ji Yuno and the others are not ordinary people, and there is no such problem.
Bai Feiran agreed to borrow Pei Tianning’s laser drilling equipment, which was expensive. It was originally a new type of high-end equipment equipped with a private oil mine owned by the Miyaji Group in the Atlantic Ocean. In ten days, it was successfully transported to the top of the deep ice drilling in the frozen lake ice sheet.
The quantum laser equipment originally used to drill deep-sea oil fields was transported to Antarctica to drill ice.
The frozen lake is a prehistoric lake at 3,262 meters under the ice.
The last 500 meters are left after the 3,262 meters of ice drilled through.
Bai Feiran not only brought the laser equipment, but also equipped with engineers who specialized in operating the machines.
This day, seven o'clock in the evening.
In the extreme day, the sky is cloudless, blue and clear, there is no wind on the ice sheet, the temperature is minus 36 degrees, and the air is thin.
Miyajiyu was wearing a black snow suit, a windproof and glare-proof snow goggles, and Yuno, wearing a bright phosphor polar suit, was standing on the ice of the frozen lake, watching silently An engineer is installing laser drilling equipment.
Surrounded by the scientific expedition personnel from Kunlun Station, headed by Pei Tianning, they were all very excited.
Because this device sent charcoal in the snow, it allowed them to explore the true face of the prehistoric frozen lake.
But compared to the scientific expedition team.
Gong Siyu, Ji Yuna, Ji Ruchen, Liuyun and the others are much calmer.
All wearing windproof goggles, standing on the side, sitting on the ground with flowing clouds, A Luo lay lazily on the snowmobile, Angelica was playing with Yunxiao, Feng Jinxuan led Alu to pee, Gong Youen They are constantly taking selfies, and Bai Wuyou and his men are forming a circle, standing around the ice drilling, knowing that the center of the sea is under the frozen lake, waiting for the ice to be penetrated, find someone Time, dive.
On the ice surface of the frozen lake is a circular ice well with a diameter of 1.5 meters.
Now this ice well is more than 2,700 meters deep.
"This hole has been drilled for several years! I haven't penetrated the ice layer of 3200 meters. Now the technology is more and more advanced. The speed of quantum laser equipment is not known how many times faster than our ordinary drilling equipment. Stable and unstable, the ice sheet we are currently in is fairly stable, but once it is subject to fluctuations, the ice sheet will have cracks. If it falls into the cracks, it is not a joke."
Pei Tianning was careful and cautious, and kept telling engineers to be careful.
"What's under the ice sheet?"
Ji Yuno asked curiously.
"There are tertiary glacial rifts and glacial mountains, but they have been permanently frozen under the ice layer and can only be seen by detection and scanning, but if the inland cracks, once you fall, it will be like falling into the abyss, you will lose your life. Yes, I can't save it."
As soon as Professor Pei Tianning’s voice fell, the engineer responsible for drilling deep ice wells turned on the quantum laser drilling equipment. The dazzling blue laser formed countless rays. Following the image of the ice layer transmitted back by the detector, laser drilling began. Without hesitation.
Not far from Professor Pei Tianning’s left hand, there was a snow field research vehicle parked with a military tent outside.
As the laser continued to deepen into the ice, Yuno went into the tent out of curiosity and saw the remotely controlled engineer manipulating the drilling equipment to observe the depth and condition of the ice drill through the computer screen transmitted by the detection equipment.
It is difficult for Ki Yuno to imagine that the thickness of the ice layer is more than 3,000 meters, and the depth of the frozen lake may be even deeper. Then, what method should Miyajiyu and the others use to dive into the depths of the frozen lake? To find the inner earth hidden in the depths of the frozen lake?
