Foreign thriller "Adventures in the Ice Sea"

1February 3, 983, sunny and sunny, is a rare good weather in Antarctica. Two scientists, carrying survey instruments, walked happily to a silver-gray helicopter. One of them is Jiang Jialun, a 46-year-old marine biologist in China, and the other is Burke, a 29-year-old Australian bacteriologist. They set off by helicopter from Davis Station, Australia's Antarctic base, to visit Alice Strait.

Two scientists were about to board the plane when blaise, the stationmaster of Davis Station, caught up with him from behind.

"Lun Jia, you forgot to bring the life-saving farmers again!" "Life jacket?" Jiang Jialun and Burke smiled at each other. They looked at the clear sky with a clear expression and told the stationmaster of Braise that there was no need to bring life jackets in such good weather.

"No, in the Antarctic, everything can't be careless. Here, everything after two hours is unknown! " Jiang Jialun and Burke took the life jacket, put it on, made faces at each other and got into the cockpit of the plane.

The plane rose into the sky, and two scientists looked down from the helicopter and saw icebergs of different shapes standing on the vast sea. The sun shines on the iceberg, which is like white peony flowers blooming on the blue grassland. Jiang Jialun, who likes photography, raised his camera and was about to press the shutter. The pilot's broadcast voice sounded in the cabin: "Attention, the plane has begun to descend over Harris Strait. Please get ready and wait for landing. Distance from Davis Station 10 km, temperature minus 2 degrees Celsius ... "After the plane landed. Jiang Jialun and Bai walked out of the engine room and shouted to the driver, "It's only ten o'clock now, and everything is normal! Please come here to pick you up at five o'clock in the afternoon! " The pilot listened, nodded and flew into the sky.

Jiang Jialun and Burke ran to the lonely red hut built on the rock, where clothes, food, radios and all the shipping tools were stored.

They fished out a special wooden boat with a flat head and put it into the sea. In 50 minutes. They have put everything necessary on the boat, and at eleven o'clock sharp, they went to sea.

Jiang Jialun manipulated the tiller and firmly grasped the course of the ship. He looked everywhere, relaxed and happy, and there were sparkling icebergs everywhere, pieces of ice floes as white as jade, seals sometimes probed to breathe, seagulls sometimes dived into the water ... Burke bent down again and again to put the sounder into the sea to measure the depth of the ocean. Everything is so smooth, everything is so beautiful, the South Pole is so docile, and there is no sign of anger.

However, it didn't take long for the clouds to accumulate thicker and lower, and almost approached the sea. The blue sky turned gray. Jiang Jialun looked up and seemed to feel something. Suddenly, he shivered-the vast Antarctic sea, only their lonely boat, the white world, only the two of them! Besides, they can't contact anyone! 15 minutes passed, 1 1 20 minutes or so, a gray cloud belt. Suddenly, like a fierce dragon, close to the sea, quickly jumped on them! Before they felt anything, the huge wind threw the boat into the suddenly rising Wolf's Tip Valley. The blue sea water suddenly turned into horrible black, and the white sky instantly rolled with dark clouds. The wind roared, the bad waves rolled, the visibility suddenly dropped to zero, and the temperature suddenly dropped from MINUS 2 degrees to MINUS 15 degrees. The Antarctic Sea turned against two helpless people for no reason.

"Karen, the stern is flooded!" Burke exclaimed in the storm.

"quick! Burke, fasten your life jacket! " Jiang Jialun locked him up.

Then, the tiller failed! In the blink of an eye, the engine died! The boat let the wild waves without relatives scuffle and fly to an iceberg.

Jiang Jialun shouted: "Quick! Jump into the sea, jump into the sea! " Burke jumped, and then Jiang Jialun jumped into the sea. In a flash, the fierce wind and waves mercilessly swallowed them both and beat them unconscious. The cold sea water * * * touched Jiang Jialun's skin and bitter juice poured into his mouth. After entering the water for 30 seconds, he quickly recovered his mind and woke up. He realized that this was a disaster! Burke is missing. The ship may have been smashed to pieces. Jiang Jialun himself is about to be thrown into the arms of death by huge waves. He was thrown by a huge wave and hit head on. He surfaced again and again, thinking hard, he wanted to get rid of the clutches of death, he wanted to live! He looked down and saw the fiery red orange, and the red color of the life-saving farmer ignited his hope. He remembered that the braise in soy sauce stationmaster gave him this life jacket before he left, which gave him hope for life. Now, he will try to get out of danger and live to see the stationmaster of braise in soy sauce.

With being thrown up by the waves again and again, Jiang Jialun opened his eyes and searched the sea. Where is Burke? Where is he? Suddenly, Jiang Jiabo vaguely saw a figure dozens of meters away. Ah ... Burke is alive! So he waved his hands desperately and tried to shout, but the temperature was too low to make a sound and his teeth rattled. At this moment, the water temperature is zero, and the airflow brought by the cold wind is MINUS 15 degrees. Zero, MINUS 15 degrees, such water temperature and temperature can devour his life instantly. What to do! Jiang Jialun was trained to be a good swimmer in Qingzajiang, Zhejiang Province. At the moment, he swam desperately, trying to find land. Although in vain, he swam hard. The surging waves grimaced and toyed with the struggling Jiang Jialun, as if he wouldn't stop until his insides fell out. Jiang Jialun didn't despair. He thinks he still has the possibility of survival. He didn't want to stop waving his arms.

Finally, Jiang Jialun found himself washed into the sea only 100 meters from the shore by the waves. He struggled to swim to the shore, but it took him a long time to swim 30 meters. This short 100 meter, if he is in the river of his hometown, he can swim across it with a few brushes, but this is in the South Pole, where the zero-degree seawater makes his limbs out of control, his body gradually stiff, his hands twitch and his tight fingers loosen.

His weak physical strength has dried up, but there are still sixty or seventy meters offshore. He looked at the coast near and far away, and had a painful premonition that he could not swim to the shore ... Suddenly, a huge ice floe approached him. The ice floe, like a white lifeboat, slowly drifted to Jiang Jialun, who was about to pass out due to the storm. This is the god of fate waving to him, and he has strength and confidence again, desperate to pounce on the ice floe. He touched the edge of the huge ice several times and cut his hands, feet and calves, but he didn't catch the ice. He felt that the fuel of life was running out, and even if he caught the ice floe, he would never have the strength to climb it. Just then, a big wave lifted him very high and he was thrown off the top of the wave. When he fell, he found that the ice floe was washed to his side by the waves. He seized the opportunity and climbed to Bai Bing with the falling waves.

He lay motionless on the ice, and it took him a long time to remember that he should move his limbs quickly, but his limbs were already stiff with cold. He tried to stand up, but he couldn't. His gloves and boots were long gone, and the broken ice cut his hands and feet, causing a sharp pain. In this desperate situation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Lying barefoot on the snow-covered ice, let the ice ridge continue to tear his clothes like a knife, tear his skin and let the blood flow outward. The only thing that makes him feel gratified is that this huge ice cube is moving to the shore with the tide, one meter, two meters ... taking him slowly to the other side of life ... Jiang Jialun stared at the shore and suddenly saw Burke who had climbed ashore, afraid that Dick was grinning with cold and was rubbing his body. Jiang Jialun couldn't shout it out, so he raised a hand and waved it hard.

But Burke didn't see Jiang Jialun. Jiang Jialun exhausted his last strength and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Burke …" Burke heard the shouts. He looked up and found Jiang Jialun. "But before he shouted out the word" Lun Jia ",a big wave knocked Jiang Lun Jia off the ice, and he was swallowed up by the waves.

Afraid of freezing to death, Keke jumped into the sea and swam to Jiang Jialun.

Burke rescued Jiang Jialun and swam to the shore. The two climbed ashore and hugged each other tightly.

Jiang Jialun trembled and was too cold to speak. He can only express his gratitude to Burke with his eyes.

He shook his wrist and looked at the ticking gold watch. The pointer points to eleven fifty. He thought that they had been immersed in seawater at zero degrees Celsius for 30 minutes, and there was another data spelled out with life in the Antarctic scientific research record.

Just as Jiang Jialun was immersed in the joy of life, Burke suddenly shouted: "Lun Jia, Lun Jia, we are finished, the helicopter ... finished, we are finished ... This is not the beach where our helicopter landed!" "Jiang Jialun buzzing in my head, ah, there is no small house to keep warm from the rain, no food storage room, no equipment to send out distress signals, and nothing. The helicopter won't come for 5 hours, and even if it does, it can't be found ... All this is really worse for Jiang Jialun, who is on the verge of freezing to death. He suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness ... Burke tried to stand up, but his lower limbs were like sticks and he could hardly move. He climbed up to Jiang Jialun, shook him desperately, rubbed his hands, feet and body and repeatedly shouted, "Lun Jia ..." I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Jialun woke up. He accepted the status quo frankly and thought about the way out of danger. After a long time, he was able to speak. He said to Burke, "Burke, we can't lie here. We must get out of here. Even if the plane comes, it can't find us. " Burke nodded and said, "Ah, yes, Lun Jia, what do you suggest?" Jiang Jialun said, "Climb, climb, climb to the highest rock!" " The two scientists encouraged each other and climbed to the distant hillside. Their cut by ice rubbed against the hard rock. Their feet were black with cold, and bright red blood oozed out. Behind them, two people left a long blood trail, dazzling red in the snow.

Crawling, Jiang Jialun couldn't support it any longer. He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and moved bit by bit. Anyway, he thought, at least one of him and Burke should climb the high rock. But before long, he fainted again.

Jiang Jialun opened his eyes and felt his body temperature getting lower and lower. He saw the blood left by Burke and knew that he had climbed forward. Maybe he has reached the hillside. However, at this moment, I am dying and can't move a step. He knew that death was approaching him, and he couldn't wait until the plane came to save them at five o'clock in the afternoon.

He closed his eyes painfully and thought a lot. As a scientist exploring the Antarctic, he knows how severe the cold is. Cold can kill people! Without protective measures, when the human body encounters extremely cold temperatures, the blood of the limbs will flow to the body cavity and gather around the heart, making people feel numb and then tremble. When a person's temperature drops below 30 degrees, he will die, and all rescue measures will be of no help ... Jiang Jialun really doesn't want to die like this. He tried his best to search in his mind to see if he could think of any way to get himself out of danger. Finally, he remembered that he had studied Qigong in China. Try it, maybe you can maintain your life for a while! He silently luck, strengthen the blood circulation. He stayed in the abdomen and used qi to increase heat and maintain life. He ruled out all other thoughts in his mind and ignored the question of life and death. In this way, he kept breathing, maintained blood circulation, and maintained a weak fire of life. He persisted for several hours and finally lost consciousness.

At this point, a sharp p * * * echoed at Davis Station in Antarctica. People are dumbfounded, which is a signal that someone has been killed! Braised webmaster sullenly, staring at the meteorological cloud picture just sent. He knew that there was a rare storm in Alice Strait. He asked a staff member: "The helicopter really didn't find the target on the sea?" The staff replied categorically: "Yes, at five o'clock in the afternoon, the plane arrived at the appointed place on time, neither seeing people nor finding any ships." Blaise waved down and said, "Order the plane to descend, search the coastal area of Alice Strait carefully, and report immediately if you find anything!" But he knows in his heart that this rare storm will devour all life, and he wants to escape bad luck unless there is a miracle.

Suddenly, the voice of the helicopter pilot came from the radio: "Davis station, Davis station, the target was found on the rocks on the west bank of Alice Strait!" " "Braised stationmaster rushed to the front of the operator, grabbed the live drum and loudly ordered:" Land immediately, save people! Please tell me the details ... the driver replied, "It seems that only one person is lying on the rock, wearing an orange life jacket." ... the stationmaster of braise in soy sauce asked eagerly, "alone?" who is it? The driver said, "Burke." ... is afraid of grams! It seems that he is still conscious ... The stationmaster of braise in soy sauce asked again, "What about Lun Jia?" After rescuing Burke, keep looking for his family, and be sure to find him! "I don't know how long it took, but the stationmaster of braise in soy sauce heard the report again:" Davis Station, Davis Station, Lun Jia was found, he was unconscious and his hands and feet were black ... "。

Braised stationmaster said decisively: "Save people at once and hurry back to China!" Soon, two scientists in distress were sent to the Davis station clinic. The clinic is made up of two layers of iron sheets with insulation sponges. For the sake of * * * the wounded's mood, and for the convenience of frostbite recovery, everything here is red, with red walls, red roofs, red medicine boxes and red medicine bottles ... Burke and Jiang Jialun's frozen clothes have been torn off and soaked in a bathtub full of warm water.

Burke was quickly out of danger. After all, he is young and strong.

Jiang Jialun has been in a coma with a temperature of only 30 degrees.

Dr. Peter anxiously said to the scientists around him: "He is very dangerous, very dangerous, and 30 degrees is the dividing line between life and death." Jiang Jialun was surrounded by his foreign colleagues, and everyone looked at the brave China man anxiously.

Dr. Peter comforted people and said, "I hope a miracle will happen." I hope his body temperature will not drop in warm water. " Half an hour later, Jiang Jialun opened his eyes. He pursed his mouth slightly and said, "Where's Burke?" Everyone told him that Burke was saved and the situation was better than him. Jiang Jialun closed his eyes confidently again.

For several days, while Jiang Jialun was still dying, comrades from China State Science and Technology Commission, State Oceanic Administration and other units were anxiously waiting for his news.

A miracle happened. Jiang Jialun, who was in danger but sober-minded, suddenly remembered that there was China Yunnan Baiyao in his backpack. He knew that the red pill in it was a life-saving pill, and he asked Dr. Peter to feed it to him. After two hours, Jiang's vomiting stopped. After a while, he felt much better.

The panacea of the motherland showed great power in the Antarctic and saved Jiang's life. He was finally out of danger.

Soon, polar winter came, and Jiang Jialun stayed in the South Pole. With tenacious perseverance, he overcame frostbite and avoided amputation.

On a warm spring day, he returned to the motherland with his Antarctic expedition report and papers, and the motherland awarded the Chinese Antarctic expedition warrior a second class merit.
