Live Wilderness Adventure - Chapter 635 But if the caliber is 1 point smaller, I'm not at ease.

Walking in the huge seed bank, everything is full of science fiction.

It was as if he had stepped into a huge spaceship carrying the hope of mankind and escaped into the universe. The sounds around him were monotonous and terrifying, except for the sound of the motor running by the cooling machine.

Far from the gathering place of human life, it is also far from unstable factors such as the vortex of war.

The remote location and harsh climate are the hometown of polar bears. These unfavorable factors for human habitation can keep the "seed bank" away from various external threats.

The permafrost zone is ideal for long-term storage of seeds without being affected by temperature changes. Change the air in the cellar every winter, but if for some reason this is not possible, permafrost also keeps the seeds fresh and safe to store. decades.

Finally, there is stable geology. The possibility of earthquakes here is zero. The location of the seed bank is more than 130 meters above sea level. Even if the ice sheet in Greenland melts, or the ice in Antarctica melts completely, and the sea level rises by 61 meters, it will be safe and sound. .

In addition, Longyin City has a good wharf and airport, which provides convenience for countries to transport seeds here.

There is no better place on earth to build Noah's Ark than here.

"The seed bank started construction in March 2007 and was officially completed on February 26, 2008. At the completion ceremony, President of the European Union Executive Committee Jose Manuel Barroso, winner of the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize Nearly 150 people from 33 countries including Wangari Matain and Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg attended the ceremony."

"That time was also the one with the largest number of visitors, and almost no one could come in after that."

"The Global Crop Diversity Trust will provide technical guidance, seed delivery and management."

"According to the safety design mode of the National Gold Reserve Bank of Chouguo, a seed bank is built at the end of the tunnel, and a layer of 1-meter-thick concrete slabs is built around the tunnel and the seed bank. Powerful airtight doors, 2 airlocks, the overall strength can resist earthquakes, nuclear weapons and even asteroids hitting the earth."

Even if someone does want to sabotage the seed bank, it's not easy.

The island where the seed bank is located has so far no commercial flights.

Even Bi Fang himself had to make a boat when he came here.

"The area where the seed bank is located is often seen by polar bears, which can be said to be the natural 'security' of the seed bank, because all outsiders who enter their territory are regarded by polar bears as 'undesirable'."

"Fairy Wood"

"The locals seldom come here on their own initiative, because it is really dangerous. In fact, if Mr. Fang hadn't come here today, we would have driven to pick you up."

There was some helplessness in Barrett's words. According to Bi Fang's flight, he had just arrived today, but he rushed over without stopping for the whole day, leaving them little time to prepare.

"Haha." Bi Fang scratched his head, "No wonder I saw a lot of polar bears on the hillside when I came here."

Barrett has an old grudge.

Even the builders of the seed bank need to be kind to the polar bears, feeding them, and defending them with guns, so that they can be at peace with them temporarily.

Besides Bi Fang, who else in the world dares to run around in the wilds of Svalbard alone?

Polar bears can be seen on almost every hillside, and if you are not careful, they will become the ghosts of the bears.

[666, seeing Lao Fang running over by himself, I thought he was going to come here, thinking it would be quite dangerous...]

【plus one......】

[It turns out that I think too much, Lao Fang is the way of an abnormal person's way]

Going to the end, Barrett also showed everyone this year's new seeds.

The seeds are contained in a sealed glass test tube and look very ordinary.

"This February was another volcano, another flood, and another locust plague. The seed bank was filled with another 60,000 seed samples, which is considered to be accelerating the accumulation of samples."

"very beautiful."

Bi Fang praised that in the transparent resin tube, the carefully calculated seeds are densely accumulated together, and the size and shape of each seed are almost the same, which has a unique beauty.

"While these boxes have little monetary value, they may hold the world's food security, as well as the balance of biodiversity."

Putting the seeds back into the storage box solemnly, Barrett took Bi Fang away from the warehouse, and the audience was even a little reluctant.

Before I knew it, I had been here for nearly three hours.

Returning along the original road, through the long corridor, Barrett closed the doors and returned to the original small room.

Barrett carefully opened the outermost iron door, looked through the crack for a long time, and confirmed that there were no polar bears outside and that the environment was safe before taking Bi Fang out.

Barrett's task is to act as a tour guide, and the entire seed bank does not need to be guarded, so they just leave together.

Walking outside the dome, the sky is already dotted above.

As soon as the audience's eyes moved up, they couldn't move away.

[Wow, why is this starry sky so beautiful? 】

Following Bi Fang to the north and south, the audience in the live broadcast room had never seen any starry sky. The clearest one should be the one in the desert.

But even that time, it was far from being comparable to the starry sky at this time.

Under the black curtain, densely packed, full of stars.

Clarity.

It is obviously dark night, but it reminds people of the word Clarity this time.

Even without a flashlight, you can see the general situation around you clearly.

"It's a pity that there is no aurora tonight." Bi Fang sighed, "The aurora is very common in Svalbard, and this is the only place on earth where the aurora can appear during the day."

"At this time, tourists from all over the world will come here to enjoy the gorgeous Northern Lights. From early spring to autumn, Svalbard will have 99-141 days of polar day phenomenon. At this time, there will be a daytime sunshine miracle, but unfortunately we have no chance to see it. ."

Bi Fang slightly regretted that UU reading www.uukanshu.com followed Barritt on the snow and came to the off-road vehicle parked on the other side of the seed bank.

No wonder I didn't see it when I came.

Bi Fang suddenly realized that the off-road vehicle was parked on the other side when he came, and was blocked by the wedge-shaped seed bank exposed outside the mountain.

Get into the car, turn on the heater, and it's a lot warmer all of a sudden.

At this time, the temperature outside the car was minus eight degrees.

While waiting for the engine to warm up, Bi Fang also found the gun holster under the rear seat with sharp eyes.

Barritt noticed Bi Fang's gaze, picked up the holster, took it apart, and revealed the whole picture.

"CR308, caliber 7.62×51mm, AR rifle developed by German Heinel Defense Company." At a glance, Bi Fang recognized the model of the gun.

"That's right." Barrett was surprised by Bi Fang's professionalism, but then he thought about the identity of the other party, and he felt that it was not surprising, "This rifle fires medium-caliber full-power ammunition. When attacked by polar bears, it can have enough power. Lethality, a 20-round magazine is enough to put one end down."

"The scientific research station in your country is basically equipped with this kind of gun, a three-meter-long polar bear. If the caliber is smaller, I don't think it is reliable. In fact, I'm not sure if a magazine is enough."

Barrett has obviously dealt with polar bears, but he has no obvious understanding of the power of guns and the defense of polar bears.

There are very few people who have beaten polar bears this year.

"Actually, it's not that exaggerated." Bi Fang smiled.

There are many photos of the establishment of the Great Wall Station in Huaxia in the early days, and many of them have foreign gun guards on the outside.

The polar bear is strong, but if the twenty rounds of medium caliber bounce with full power, it will become a sieve.
