People often read that whales were found stranded somewhere, and after a great deal of effort to get them back to the sea, they still died.

This was because the whales were really too heavy, and their ribs could not even support their own weight on the shore. Only by leaning on the sea's buoyancy could they guarantee that they would be fine, and once on shore, it would often happen because of their weight breaking their ribs, so even if they were sent back to the sea to die, it would not be strange.

Actually, Xiao Peng was right when he said that the Arctic Dew Whale was the rarest whale in the world. According to the classification, the rarest whale in the world was not the Arctic Dew Whale. The last, in particular, is known to exist only in the accidental discovery of the corpses of two dead whales.

Xiao Peng's group captured a female Arctic humpback whale. After seeing that it was fine, Xiao Peng told it to leave. It took a whale about ten years of age to mature and reproduce, and 25% of its young would die in the process of growth. With the help of the Awakening Technique, this female should have grown up.

Although the net had been dragged for a long time, it did not have many fish. There were only a few cod fish, flounder, etc., only around 3-4 tons in size. Xiao Peng didn't intentionally search for a school of fish since he had bumped into the net himself.

However, Xiao Peng didn't care about these fish being harvested. His purpose for coming here this time was the big golden fish and not these small fish in front of him.

On the other hand, Wang Xuan and the rest had disappointed looks on their faces, "Boss, there are too few fish here. We've been dragged for so long yet we caught so little fish." We've lost a lot from this net fish. "

Xiao Peng laughed, "In the sea, anything is possible. If there really are fish everywhere, everyone would have gone to be a fisherman. Come on, everyone, let Hill and Ivan fix us some good food. Let's eat our fill and go to New Olsen! In the evening, other than the people on duty, everyone can have a drink! "

"Long live the boss!" The crew cheered. The group, who had been in a bad mood due to their poor fishing, was instantly overjoyed. They had been floating on the sea for so long, but now they could finally go ashore again.

After a night's journey, the Vladimir finally reached New Olsen, on the Spitzbergen Islands: the location of the Yellow River Station at China's Arctic Station.

The Spitsbergen Islands are made up of many islands, and this is Norway's territory. But in 1925, 51 countries signed an interesting treaty: the Svalbard Treaty.

According to international practice, if you want to acquire territorial rights to a piece of land, you should have two minimum conditions, namely, 'first discover' and 'effective administrative management'. But for the Spitsbergen Islands, neither condition exists.

The Spitsbergen Islands were first discovered by the Dutch explorer Valencia, who unfortunately did not have time to return to his country to report that he had died on Nova Terra due to hunger, cold, and scurvy. Before his death he wrote an expedition report, but did not state whether he had 'declared, in the name of His Majesty the King, his ownership of the Islands'.

Ten years later, Henry Hudson, the British explorer, came here and found a large number of whales and walruses. Oh. Although he was Finnish, Zenden represented Sweden on an expedition here.

As resources were discovered here, wave after wave of Europeans came to start their own business, the largest of them being the Norwegian and the Russian. They hunted whales and bears, dug mines and mines, and even established a city here, the present capital of the Spitsbergen Islands. This was also the city that was built by humans at the northernmost tip of Earth.

As the interests of the Spitsbergen Islands grew, there was a problem with ownership of the country.

In terms of the power of first discovery, this place was discovered by the Dutch, but there is no evidence that the Dutch said it was Dutch territory.

It seems, then, that Norway and Russia were more important in terms of 'effective administration,' but in those days Norway was limited and Russia was in a state of civil war.

This was undoubtedly the best opportunity for the European and American powers who were unwilling to give up the Spitsbergen Islands. In the end, the countries had to bargain and finally came to an agreement, which was the Svalbard Treaty. The treaty made the Spitsbergen Islands the first and only demilitarized zone in the Arctic.

The Treaty recognized Norway's "full and complete sovereignty", but citizens of the States parties were free to enter. Conduct legitimate production and commercial activities within the framework of compliance with Norwegian law.

China was also a party to this treaty, so Chinese people could freely enter the Spitsbergen Islands and live and work here without a visa.

So, China's only Arctic research station, the Yellow River Station, was established here.

Standing on the dock and welcoming the group was the station master of Yellow River Station.

Coincidentally, this Station Head was also surnamed Yang. After Yang Meng found out, he didn't want to let go of that person's neck. He insisted that this was a talent from Old Yang's family, so no one should fight with him.

Under Yang's guidance, Xiao Peng toured the small town located in the Arctic Circle.

New Olsson was not big. He could walk the entire city in fifteen minutes. There were only two or three stories tall building, but it was actually a scientific research facility with perfect facilities. More than a dozen countries have again set up stations that serve as bases for research by scientists around the world on the Arctic. China rented a house in Science City in 2004 and set up a science station.

Here, as long as you are willing to pay more, you can rent more rooms and continue to rent. The heat and electricity in the rooms have already been prepared. However, don't think that it's easy to set up an examination station here. The cost of establishing one here is extremely high. The cost of electricity is equivalent to one hundred yuan per cycle of electricity. As for the other costs, they were even more frightening.

After all, this was a city within the Arctic Circle, and everything else was extremely difficult to construct. Thus, the price was understandable.

Station Head Yang brought Xiao Peng and Yang Meng to a two storey red building. "Captain Xiao, this is New Olson Comprehensive Building. Let me introduce the managers here."

They walked to an office and knocked on the door. "Come in." A man's voice came from the room.

Station Head Yang pushed open the door, inside stood a tall and burly middle-aged man. Seeing Station Head Yang walk in, he greeted him with a smile, "Station Head Yang, what brings you here? Eh? It seems like these people are quite unfamiliar with each other. Are they all your friends? "

Station Head Yang introduced them, "Al, these people are from China. They said that they had caught a few tons of fish and wanted to give them to us, so I brought them here."

"Your ancestors?" Xiao Peng asked, "Why are you praising me for bringing this up to your ancestors?"

Al pointed to a painting hanging on the wall. "This is my ancestor, Anfield Harold, the great Viking!"

Looking at Old Al's proud face, Xiao Peng couldn't help but start to complain. Your great ancestor? Wasn't it just a pirate? Why was he so proud of him?

This feeling was as if someone in China was proudly introducing to Xiao Peng, "This is my great-grandfather. He became a bandit in Xiangxi and was destroyed by the country." How could he be proud of this place? It had to be said, this was the difference between East and West.

Old Al's name, however, was the standard Wiggin name. His ancestor's name was Harold, and his descendant's name was followed by the suffix Sen, meaning Harold's child. The name of a Viking was so simple and crude.

Xiao Peng looked at Old Al's excited expression and could only follow him. "Oh, a Viking is a brave adventurer!"

Hearing that, Old Al's face was full of excitement, "Right? Station Head Yang, your Chinese compatriots are much stronger than you! We are not Vikings, we are only explorers. "

This time, even Xiao Peng didn't know how to reply. Even though the term 'Viking' was used in Icelandic dialect to mean adventure at sea, the Viking's method of adventure was still somewhat domineering. It was like robbing at sea, robbing at sea, stealing again.

Xiao Peng thought for a moment. "At that time, the Vikings were indeed explorers at sea. There is strong evidence that five hundred years before Columbus discovered the New World, the Vikings had already reached Newfoundland and explored part of the North American region."

Hearing that, Old Al became extremely excited, he embraced Xiao Peng's shoulder, "You are a friend of the Viking, I welcome you on behalf of the New Orson! No matter what, I have to have a drink with you today! At night, the bar, I'll take it! I will let you know more of the descendants of the Vikings! "

New Olsson may not look so small, but he does have a bar, but he only opens on weekends. It was the only official entertainment in New Olsson, and private. Just as Xiao Peng landed on the shore, he saw a few imperial examinees from some unknown country playing football there. In New Olsson, a deserted place, people would go crazy if they didn't amuse themselves.
