Chapter 1948: No dogs in Antarctica

The shadows of criminals are everywhere in Ushuaia. It even retains the old guard posts and the small train that used to pull prisoners. Of course, it has now become a beautiful tourist train and a different kind of business card for Ushuaia.
Everything here is very distinctive, even the trees are tilted to one side-because the monsoon here is too strong, all the trees are tilted to one side as if they were drunk, so the locals joked This is the'drunkard tree'.
The reason why this place is called the'end of the world' is actually because there is a Pan-American highway in the Americas, from Alaska to the end here, with a total length of 17,848 kilometers, and there are really many warriors riding bicycles to conquer this road ----- There is no reason why there are few foreigners!
This Ushuaia is close to the Beagle Channel. In fact, according to conscience, the Port of Williams, Chile, across the Beagle Channel, is more suitable for supply. Regardless of the weather and distance, it is better than Ushuaia.
But who will let Chile do its own thing. As we all know, according to the "Antarctic Treaty", Antarctica does not belong to any country on the earth, it is the common wealth of all mankind. Only scientific research stations are allowed over there. But Chile is not convinced, why? So starting in 1940, Chile said that Antarctica’s Antarctic Peninsula was their country’s territory, and planned there to be the
Chile Antarctic Province
administratively. The islands on the west and south of Ushuaia belong to this so-called
Antarctic Province
. '; And the Eagle Nation is not honest. It does not mean that most of the so-called "Antarctic Province" in Chile belongs to the territory that the Eagle Nation and Argentina compete for. Now three countries are grabbing the place here and it is very lively.
Chile knew this was the result a long time ago, and I am afraid it would not help the white-eyed wolf Eagle Country during the Falklands War.
Xiao Peng and the others arrived on St. Martin Street, which is the main street of Ushuaia, where you can find any restaurants and hotels. Because it is the tourist season, there are many tourists here.
The gloomy weather and the old-looking houses always make people feel depressed, but the food here is really nothing, full of Argentinean flavor.
What is the Argentine flavor? That is more meat!
You know, Argentina’s nickname is ‘meat bank’, and people here have a deep love for meat.
For example, meat rolls made of grilled meat slices with vegetables, mint leaves, olives, and eggs. The vegetables taste refreshing and the meat is full of flavor.
In the restaurant Xiao Peng and the others went to, there was a large stove in the middle of the restaurant, and the whole lamb was grilled directly on an open flame on an iron rack. The flame and mutton are in direct contact, and it looks like a wild cooking, but the smell of meat permeates the entire restaurant. After eating a meal, all three of them smelled like lamb. . . . . .
And here they like to sprinkle cheese on seafood and grill them. Xiao Peng and others are not used to this way of eating. The taste of seafood with cheese suits Western tastes.
Xiao Peng also wanted to have fun in Ushuaia for a few days to wait for Emilia, but the weather here was too bad. It rained for several days, and it was getting bigger and bigger. The road was muddy and Xiao Peng didn’t bother to go outside. Ran.
But Yang Meng and the others are not good at it. There is no shortage of girls in any place with a well-developed tourism industry. Sun Pengcheng has such a good physique and his legs and feet have been shaking in the past two days.
"Guys, can you be normal?" Xiao Peng looked at Sun Pengcheng with a haggard face and said, "If this man only indulges himself, he will have kidney deficiency!"
Yang Meng asked curiously: "A man will indulge in kidney deficiency, so what about women?"
Xiao Peng thought for a while and gave an answer: "It's still a man with kidney deficiency."
Yang Meng laughed and said, "No wonder you have been honest these few days. You are afraid that you are newly married to Emilia Xiaojie. When you pay public food, you find that you are running out of bullets, right?"
Xiao Peng pointed out his to him: "Go away, am I that kind of person?"
Yang Meng nodded: "Really, you said Emilia must be unhappy knowing that you are in Antarctica. How can you make her happy by then? It must be sex."
Xiao Peng snorted coldly, "You are so narrow!" Although he chatted with the two of them, he kept his eyes fixed on the laptop in front of him.
"What are you looking at?" Yang Meng curiously leaned over and glanced at the screen: "Oh, it's the scorpion whale."
Before entering Ushuaia, Xiao Peng and the others witnessed the killer whale hunting the carnivorous whale in the sea.
Don’t look at the weight of killer whales, which are only a few tenths of the weight of the killer whales, but the killer whales are the prey of the killer whales. Their hunting methods are also very interesting. it. Then a group of killer whales share their ‘fruits of victory’, which is the tongue of the turtle whales-they hunt the turtle whales just to eat their tongues.
This is not because the killer whale has a unique taste. It is because the turtle whales are too big to eat so much, so they only eat the tongue of the turtle whale.
Sun Pengcheng tilted his head and glanced around and asked puzzledly: "Brother Peng, we have seen killer whale hunting several times along the way. What's so interesting about this?"
Xiao Peng said, "I am not watching whales fall, I am watching killer whales."
At sea, the process by which a whale dies and sinks to the bottom of the sea is called ‘whale fall’. A whale’s corpse can feed countless marine life for hundreds of years. The swallowed-tongue whale will then become food for sharks; after sinking into the sea, it will become food for crabs and scavengers. In the end, even if there are only bone shelves or food for microorganisms in the sea. They had seen several whale falls along the way, so Sun Pengcheng didn't find it strange.
Xiao Peng pointed to the photo and said: "I just found out that we seem to have missed several hundred million."
"What do you mean?" Sun Pengcheng was confused.
Xiao Peng said, "Do you think that killer whales are exactly the same? No! There is also a gap between killer whales and killer whales: there are three types of killer whales in the Pacific, namely, resident whales, passing whales and pelagic whales. The killer whales in the Atlantic Ocean are divided into Atlantic I, Atlantic II and Atlantic 1-2. The killer whales living near Antarctica are divided into three types, namely A, B, and C."
Sun Pengcheng asked curiously: "Then what type did we find?"
Xiao Peng said: "I am not sure, it seems to be the fourth type. If my guess is not wrong, it is very likely to be an independent species. In fact, in 1955, more than a dozen stranded tigers were found off the coast of New Zealand. Whales are different from ordinary killer whales, so scientists suspect that there are Antarctic D-type killer whales."
"You mean 1955? How long has it been until now, why hasn't the species D-type killer whale determined yet?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.
Xiao Peng nodded: "The three types of killer whales in Antarctica are often found in Australia and New Zealand, but type D killer whales only exist here, such as the Drake Strait. There are frequent storms here. I want to study this killer whale here. It’s difficult. So to this day, I’m not sure if this is an independent species. If this D-type killer whale is really an independent species, it may be the largest untapped animal left on earth."
Sun Pengcheng asked puzzledly: "How is this different from the killer whale in Qianliyan?"
Yang Meng said, "I don't think it's different except for the small ones."
Xiao Peng nodded and said: "You are really right. This D-type killer whale is the smallest of all killer whales, with a larger head and small and pointed dorsal fin. Scientists who originally studied D-type killer whales said The favorite food of this D-type killer whale is fish, not seals, or such mammals. If the gray whales that we find that prey on gray whales are really D-type killer whales, then we can overthrow the marine life family. Past judgments."
Sun Pengcheng took out a bottle of juice from the refrigerator: "But I don't understand, Brother Peng, what use is it for you to study this killer whale?"
Xiao Peng's eyes widened: "You know what a fart, Emilia is coming, and she is still angry about my coming to the South Pole. Do you think the video we found can distract her?"
Yang Mengle said, "You are full of desire to survive."
Sun Pengcheng said: "Brother Peng, what are you doing so much trouble? You get a few dogs and take them to Antarctica to find someone who is no one to play with a dog sled. I don't believe her and blame her for being romantic. you!"
After hearing Sun Pengcheng's words, Xiao Peng and Yang Meng both looked at him like idiots.
Yang Meng asked, "Why don't polar bears eat penguins?"
Sun Pengcheng looked disgusted: "Polar bears live in the Arctic, and penguins live in the Antarctic! Go to the primary school for questions like you!"
Yang Meng applauded: "Wow, you even know this? Then don't you know that Antarctica is the only continent in the world without dogs?"
"What?" Sun Pengcheng's eyes widened after hearing this: "I watched a lot of movies about Antarctica, and there are dogs in them! Brother Peng, is he kidding me, right?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "I used to think you were smarter than the mackerel, but now I found out that you are a scum, and you even believe the words in the movie? Antarctica issued a dog ban from 1991 to 1994. There is no dog in Antarctica. If you watch a movie that describes a story before 1994, there is a dog in it. But if it is after 1994, it would be nonsense if there are dogs in the movie."
Sun Pengcheng's eyes widened: "I saw the Hollywood blockbuster "The Adventures of the Nanda", played by Paul Walker! Is that fake too?"
"Please, those protagonists in Hollywood movies are alive and kicking with as many shots as possible! Do you think it's fake?" Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "The movie you are talking about, I know, is the story of a group of dogs staying in the South Pole. But it's a pity Yes, the film was shot in the North Pole, such as Alaska, Maple Leaf Country, Greenland. Anyway, the Antarctic and the North Pole are covered with white snow, and most people can’t tell where they caught a few penguins from the zoo. You should know me There is a piece of land in Alaska. Going there in winter is almost the same as Antarctica. I will take you there when I have time. Um... To be precise, all the movies about Antarctica we are making now, except for cartoons, are all in It was taken in the North Pole. Those actors may not have set foot in the South Pole in their entire lives!"
