Chapter 3615 Guanghan Zhenren
When Wu Bolin arrived at the Japanese Antarctic research station, the straight-line distance between him and Charlie Wade was approximately 400 kilometers.
Like the Nordic research stations, the Japanese station was surrounded by desolation and had few neighbors.
The problem lies in the sheer size of Antarctica. When a limited number of countries establish a limited number of research stations there, they all leave room for their own and other countries' future development. Being too close to other countries' research stations would not only hinder their own future development but also potentially affect the secrecy of certain missions.
After all, Antarctic research is not simply about investigating the local environment and flora and fauna.
Like space exploration, Antarctic research is not only about science but also about a country's strategic planning and even the development of certain strategic technologies.
For example, both the United States and China have tested their Mars rovers in Antarctica. This is because Mars itself is a planet with an average temperature of only around -60 degrees Celsius, and Antarctica is the closest place on Earth to this environment. Furthermore, Antarctica has many glaciers and hills, which share significant similarities with the terrain of Mars.
Because Antarctic research expeditions from various countries utilize a wide range of cutting-edge technologies, they rarely choose to cluster together.
The Japanese research station is much larger than those in Northern Europe, but even so, Wu Bolin couldn't hide his disdain as he looked at the low-rise buildings under the polar night starlight.
Especially when he saw the characters for "Showa" written in Chinese characters outside the station, his face contorted with contempt and extreme displeasure.
Suddenly, he conjured a palm-sized miniature sword from his wrist, infused it with spiritual energy, and activated its array. The tiny sword, less than a foot long, suddenly seemed to be enchanted, instantly growing larger and longer into a gleaming sword a full 1.3 to 1.4 meters long.
This sword didn't actually grow that long; it was simply the spiritual energy activating the array that conjured this sword form. With this sword formed from spiritual energy, it could cut through iron like mud and shatter mountains and rocks.
Wu Bolin, wielding his longsword, lightly swung it at the stone tablet inscribed with the words "Showa Station," instantly smoothing the inscription. Then, with a flick of his sword, he left three elegant, freehand cursive characters on the tablet: "Wu Han Palace."
Wu Bolin wasn't well-educated and couldn't think of a grander name. He figured if the legendary Guanghan Palace on the moon truly existed, it would probably look something like this—cold, dark, and gloomy.
However, this place wasn't for Chang'e; it was to become his temporary residence for a while. So, he simply changed one character in a rather vulgar way, making it Wu Han Palace.
He reasoned that "Wu" represented the Wu family, "Han" (cold) was the most fitting word for this place, and "Gong" (palace) signified his extraordinary status.
h more pleasing.
He secretly thought, now that Wu Han Palace was there, this was his place of practice, and he naturally needed a Taoist name.
After much thought, since he already used Wu Han Palace as the name of his Daoist temple, he might as well use Guanghan Zhenren (Master Guanghan) as his Daoist title—it sounded majestic, ethereal, and full of profound meaning. So, he summoned Kikuchi Kohei and instructed him, "Kikuchi, from now on, everyone who sees me must kneel on one knee and respectfully address me as Guanghan Zhenren, including you. Understand?"
The power of psychological suggestion is to completely eliminate any ambiguity and maximize execution.
Kikuchi Kohei immediately knelt on one knee without a word and respectfully said, "I pay my respects to Guanghan Zhenren!"
"Ah," Wu Bolin felt much more refreshed.
Despite being a highly respected elder in the Poqing Society, he had never truly experienced any real sense of honor. He began his seclusion in his youth, meditating cross-legged for over a hundred years. His consciousness was almost constantly within his own sea of consciousness, completely immersed in his own world, far more lonely than Sun Wukong, who was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. At least Sun Wukong had a shepherd boy to bring him fruit; he hadn't had anyone to talk to during his years of seclusion.
After emerging from seclusion, although the members of the Po Qing Society treated him with great respect, he could sense that that respect wasn't out of blind obedience, but rather out of their subservience to Wu Feiyan.
This made him feel like a star actor in a theatrical troupe back then. Although everyone in the troupe bowed and scraped before him, they were all the troupe owner's men; they had no loyalty to him, and he held no real power within the troupe.
Now it was different. These dozens of Japanese research team members, including Kikuchi Kohei, were all loyal henchmen. In this "Wu Han Palace," he was the undisputed leader, and he didn't need to live in Wu Feiyan's shadow at all.
So he immediately said to Kikuchi Kohei, who was kneeling on one knee, "Go, call everyone over and have them all pay homage to me!"
Kikuchi Kohei respectfully replied loudly, "Your subordinate obeys!"
He then immediately went to gather everyone.
Although those people didn't understand Chinese, Wu Bolin's psychological suggestion to them was done through Kikuchi Kohei speaking in Japanese, so they were absolutely obedient to Kikuchi Kohei.
So, the group immediately gathered in the freezing square.
In front of the "Wu Han Palace" stone tablet, Kikuchi Kohei told them in Japanese to learn the pronunciation of eight Chinese characters after him.
The Japanese are not particularly gifted in languages, which can be seen from their daily learning of English and their learning of the Chinese phrase "识时务者为俊杰" (a wise man knows when to yield). So, the group racked their brains to learn the pronunciation of these eight characters, taking a full twenty minutes.
Wu Bolin was also patient.
With his hands behind his back, he stood on the platform in front of the stone tablet, looking down at the group of people practicing pronunciation in small groups. Kikuchi Kohei kept running and weaving among them, constantly correcting their pronunciation problems.
At one moment, Wu Bolin suddenly understood what kind of life Wu Feiyan had lived for the past few hundred years. She was an empress surrounded by tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people! And she sat on that throne for hundreds of years!
If only he could have the chance to live as freely and happily as her for hundreds of years.
In the sub-zero temperatures, Kikuchi Kohei managed to break out in a sweat. The sweat fell onto his eyelashes, where it froze into ice crystals in the cold wind, eventually forming two thick, icy eyebrows on his eyelids.
He rushed to Wu Bolin, knelt on one knee like a Qing Dynasty lackey, and said, "Reporting to Guanghan Zhenren, all members of the Showa Station are ready!"
Wu Bolin frowned and questioned, "Say it again, what station?!"
Kikuchi Kohei then noticed the three Chinese characters on the stone tablet behind Wu Bolin and quickly corrected himself, "Reporting to Guanghan Zhenren, it is Wu Han palace who is ready!"
Wu Bolin was satisfied and coldly said, "Since you are ready, then let's begin!"
Kikuchi Kohei, like a conductor of a symphony orchestra, turned to look at the crowd, waved his hands, and the crowd shouted in extremely strange accents, "Zaixia Canjian Gong Han Zhenren!"
The crowd shouted with great enthusiasm, and the white mist they exhaled rose up at the same time, merging into one, which was quite a spectacular sight.
Wu Bolin was momentarily stunned, thinking that he had misheard. He was Guanghan Zhenren, how could these Japanese people insist on calling him Gong Han Zhenren?
He initially thought these Japanese were deliberately being disobedient, but then he realized that didn't make sense. They'd already been given psychological suggestions; even if he made them stand naked in minus fifty degrees Celsius, they wouldn't hesitate for even half a second. It was clearly a language barrier.
So, with a dark face, he said to Kikuchi Kohei, "From today onwards, teach them to speak Chinese for six hours every day, and each person is only allowed three hours of sleep!"
Kikuchi Kohei immediately replied loudly, "Yes, sir!"
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of kilometers away, the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology was unaware that members of their two research teams, along with the crew of their only heavy icebreaker, had become Wu Bolin's lackeys.
Since learning that the research vessel had safely arrived in Antarctica, they hadn't paid much attention to the research teams, assuming they were only carrying out routine tasks and that these professionals would smoothly complete the handover of personnel and supplies in the next few days.
Three days later, when the research team members' Chinese proficiency had significantly improved, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology received a message from the research vessel.
The research vessel experienced a mechanical failure and needed to be repaired on-site before it could begin its return journey.
Officials from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) were puzzled. How could a brand-new research vessel break down so soon after arriving
in Antarctica? Normally, minor mechanical problems wouldn't affect normal navigation and were repaired on the go, but this vessel was completely immobilized and required repairs in Antarctica. They immediately contacted the research vessel, expressing their biggest concern: "Can it return before the coastline freezes beyond its icebreaking limit?"
Captain Matsushita Heikichi replied: "It's unpredictable. Please prepare for the possibility that the research vessel may not be able to return this winter."
MEXT immediately erupted in chaos.
Leaving dozens of people and a ship stranded in Antarctica wasn't particularly dangerous, as the ship and research stations had ample supplies, enough to keep them there until the Antarctic summer.
The crucial question was: who the hell could afford the embarrassment?
While the news of the research vessel's departure didn't garner widespread attention, it did attract interest from polar enthusiasts and the families of the expedition team. If they didn't return, it would be a disgrace to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) if the news got back home, and a disgrace to the entire Japanese scientific community if it got international attention.
This wasn't just the MEXT being overly anxious; there was precedent. Not long ago, two American astronauts were stranded in space for 286 days due to a Starliner malfunction, their planned eight-day mission ending in a shocking 286-day ordeal. The image of one of the astronauts, emaciated to the point of being skin and bones, shocked the world, nearly causing NASA to lose face. With American astronauts stranded in space and Japanese researchers stranded in Antarctica, this would be a major blow to MEXT.
Although the tradition of seppuku (ritual suicide) for those primarily responsible for the disaster is less common in Japan these days, the tradition of suicide by hanging still exists. For example, Yasuhiro Sato, the person in charge of the Fukushima nuclear accident, knew he had made a grave mistake and ultimately chose to atone with his death.
If a major blunder occurred during the polar expedition, resulting in an international scandal, the pressure on the person in charge, while not as immense as that of Yasuhiro Sato, would still be at least 70-80%. The public pressure would be unbearable for most people.
Therefore, the person in charge convened a top-secret internal meeting. After some discussion, they decided to request the Antarctic expedition team members and research vessel crew to inform their families that they were on a secret scientific mission in Antarctica and would not be able to return home for a short period. They also requested that they maintain a unified narrative and never mention the ship's malfunction.
To appease everyone and ensure full cooperation, they even offered a ten-times-daily-pay rule: for every day they stayed in Antarctica beyond the original plan, they would receive ten extra days' wages, continuing until their return.
The expedition team members and crew had completely submitted to Wu Bolin and were truly indifferent to money. When Wu Bolin asked them to agree, they immediately and without hesitation agreed.
The unanimous and prompt agreement from everyone moved the high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to tears several times. They believed their researchers' dedication was unparalleled in the world. Reassured, they immediately announced that Japan would launch its largest and longest-running Antarctic winter scientific expedition in history, leading the Japanese public to believe there was some major discovery that couldn't be revealed yet, causing a frenzy of excitement online.
Little did they know, it was all the work of Wu Bolin, the "Real Person of the Moonlit Night."
