Chapter 3603 The End of the World
The overwhelming media coverage and the widespread praise online delighted Helena and the entire Nordic government. No one had anticipated that seizing this opportunity would generate such a massive impact.
Online, besides praising Helena's decisiveness and courage, many analyzed her actions since her ascension to the throne. Looking back on her journey, people discovered that this young and beautiful queen had taken each step with remarkable composure and determination.
Beautiful, composed, capable, and righteous, Helena possessed almost all the qualities a royal family aspires to, naturally boosting her popularity.
The mastermind behind all this, Charlie Wade, had quietly landed in Ushuaia, Argentina's southernmost port city, known as the "end of the world."
After landing at Ushuaia Airport with three beautiful women, the four smoothly entered the country as Nordic citizens.
The crew of the Nordic research vessel were already waiting outside the airport.
The message he received was that several meteorologists from Northern Europe were temporarily traveling with their ship to Antarctica to deploy a batch of climate monitoring equipment before returning.
This was because the Nordic research station wasn't a permanent one; if they announced from the outset that someone was going to stay for the winter, it would be seen as tantamount to suicide by these researchers. The message would likely spark discussion among them before Charlie Wade even arrived, and he wouldn't have time to use psychological suggestion to resolve the issue.
Charlie Wade's Scandinavian identity is Jimmy Lewis. He and three beautiful women had just exited customs when they saw a middle-aged man holding a sign that read "Jimmy Lewis." Charlie Wade approached him and said, "Hello, I am Jimmy Lewis."
The man was surprised to see that the meteorological experts were of Asian descent, and that all four of them were Asian. He stammered, "You are Mr. Lewis? Then... then these three must be the other three experts traveling with you, right?"
Scandinavia is not a country with a large immigrant population, so Asian tourists are common, but Asian immigrants are much rarer. The meteorological department is not a sector where Asians have a significant advantage, like the power sector. Therefore, the arrival of four Asian meteorological experts was indeed somewhat unbelievable to the staff member who was picking them up.
Charlie Wade smiled and said, "That's right, it's the four of us who need to board the ship. When does our ship depart?"
The man snapped out of his reverie and explained, "Mr. Louis, our research vessel is currently waiting in Ushuaia port for refueling and supplies. The original departure time was 7:00 AM three days later, but the Drake Passage has been very rough lately, so we may have to wait here for a couple more days until the waves subside."
He quickly added, "By the way, Mr. Louis, you four can come with me to the dock to board the ship later. We've prepared four..." "The research vessel is large and has good facilities. Since we're mainly picking up people this time, there aren't many people on board, so it's relatively quiet and comfortable."
Because going to Antarctica involves passing through the Roaring Forties, where the winds and waves are among the worst in the world, Antarctic research vessels from various countries use large-tonnage hulls capable of withstanding even stronger winds and waves, with displacements generally exceeding 10,000 tons. These vessels have very ample internal space, carrying large amounts of fuel, supplies, and research equipment, and can accommodate at least a hundred people. Since there aren't many people on board this time, the rooms are naturally very spacious.
Charlie Wade had originally thought it would be better to find a comfortable hotel in Ushuaia for a few days before boarding the ship at the port.
But then she thought, although Wu Feiyan's plane had never been to Ushuaia and had always traveled between Buenos Aires and other parts of the world, this place was not far from Buenos Aires and was close to the territory of the Breaking Qing Society. Whether it was herself, Lin Wan'er, or Yun Rugo and Song Ruyu, they were all people that the Breaking Qing Society was eager to find, so it was not appropriate to be too conspicuous. Moreover, Asian faces were not common here, and four Asian faces together would be even more eye-catching.
So Charlie Wade agreed to the suggestion. After collecting all the luggage, the four of them boarded the minibus he had driven and headed straight for Ushuaia Port.
They carried a total of ten suitcases, most of which Lin Wan'er had asked Helena to prepare. She knew that Charlie Wade, Yun Rugo, and Song Ruyu would spend most of their time cultivating, and that time would pass in the blink of an eye for them, while she would have to endure several months in the harsh polar night. Therefore, she naturally prepared more luggage.
March in Ushuaia is autumn, with relatively pleasant temperatures. Charlie Wade saw many backpackers on the road, each carrying huge, professional-looking backpacks. Their outdoor gear was mostly brightly colored, adding a unique touch to the streets.
Charlie Wade asked the middle-aged man who picked him up at the airport curiously, "Are all these backpackers tourists going to Antarctica?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "These backpackers are tourists who just returned from Antarctica and the South Shetland Islands before winter. The Antarctic tourist season is from November to March each year. Only during these four months are commercial expedition cruise ships going to Antarctica. After this season, all commercial expedition cruise ships are not allowed to enter the Drake Passage. It's already late March now, which is almost the last window for returning. After these tourists return to Ushuaia, some will directly leave Argentina by plane." Some people choose to stay in Argentina for a while before leaving.
He then explained to Charlie Wade, "Ushuaia is the most important stepping stone to Antarctica, handling over 90% of Antarctic tourists. Therefore, its tourism industry is very developed, accounting for 40% of the local GDP. Half of the city's jobs are for the ships and tourists traveling to and from Antarctica, and at least 100,000 people travel to Antarctica from here every year."
He smiled and added, "However, it's not peak tourist season for this small city right now, because Antarctica is about to experience its polar night. Ordinary tourists will gradually depart from Antarctica over the next two weeks." "The evacuation is underway. Many professionals from the summer research stations have already begun to leave. We need to return from Antarctica by early April, so the four of you will only have three days, at most five, to process the equipment."
Charlie Wade asked, "How many days will it take for the ship to reach our research station from Ushuaia?"
The other person thought for a moment and said, "If it's fast, it might take two and a half days; if it's slow, it might take three and a half days."
Charlie Wade then asked, "Are the other research stations around our station summer stations or year-round stations?"
The other person said, "The research station we're going to is close to..." In the Antarctic interior, within a radius of tens of kilometers, are almost entirely European research stations, all of which are summer stations. This is because the closer to the inland areas of Antarctica, the harsher the environment becomes, so year-round stations are mostly built on the Antarctic Peninsula and surrounding islands.
Charlie Wade felt slightly relieved. Before coming, he had researched the Antarctic winter climate and knew that Antarctica's climate was peculiar. After entering the polar night, the winters there become so cold that even air movement is greatly restricted. Therefore, during the polar night, the Antarctic continent rarely experiences wind or snowfall; it is almost entirely a long, cold, and clear night. In contrast, Antarctica in summer is windy and snowy.
Antarctic winter nights are those with temperatures below -80 degrees Celsius, no wind or snow, a sky full of stars and the aurora borealis, and an extreme tranquility.
In such a cold and clear environment, the visibility would certainly not be too bad. Under the stars and the aurora, the visibility would be at least several kilometers. If there were other countries' permanent stations nearby, it would probably not be so convenient for those people to come and go. If there were only the four of them left within a radius of tens of kilometers, then everything would be much simpler.
