160: Chapter 160 Great Wall Station, Jiang Qiuzhi

These hundred-plus pieces of black porcelain had been placed inside the aircraft carrier's sealed compartment.

They were prepared to be transported all the way back to the Dragon Kingdom for slow and careful study.

"Magnetic storms, black porcelain of unknown origin... Honey, the Pacific Ocean isn't very peaceful right now."

Looking at the secured black porcelain, Xue Yao gazed at Jiang Chen with a worried expression.

Although she carried an electric current and her physical constitution could already withstand most physical damage.

She still couldn't resist magnetic storms on a planetary scale.

As for Jiang Chen, he had only managed to escape the magnetic storm and break free from its pull thanks to multiple power boosts.

Jiang Chen nodded: "It's not just the Pacific Ocean. Didn't our colleagues in the Great Northwest complain in the Nantianmen Project chat group that they couldn't achieve a perfect state in the magnetic confinement experiment, which is why Controlled Nuclear Fusion hasn't been realized yet?"

"Do you think if things keep developing like this, the entire Earth's magnetic field will become chaotic?" Xue Yao asked worriedly.

First, there was the aircraft carrier deviation in the North Pacific, and then the magnetic storm in the South Pacific.

Now, the magnetic confinement experiment in the Great Northwest is failing to succeed.

All of this indicates that the Earth's own magnetic field seems to be undergoing some kind of mutation.

Jiang Chen looked up at the sky.

Although it wasn't night and no stars were visible above the Pacific Ocean at this moment.

Jiang Chen still spoke with a look of longing: "That is why humanity's future ultimately lies in the stars and the sea."

"Although Earth is the cradle of humanity, staying on Earth forever is just like how your mom would get annoyed if you stayed at home after summer vacation... One wrong move and you'd face natural disasters like the Lion's Roar or a visit from the broom."

Uh!

Xue Yao was gazing at Jiang Chen with admiration, looking at his handsome profile as he spoke seriously and gazed at the stars, and she was practically turning into a fan girl.

Suddenly, the conversation took a turn.

How did staying on Earth become the same as being annoyed by your mom for staying home after summer vacation?

"But it does seem like that; whenever I went home for summer vacation, my mom would get annoyed with me if I slept until eleven," Xue Yao nodded in agreement.

Then she asked Jiang Chen: "So, Honey, what name do you plan to give our future baby? Should it be related to the stars and the sea?"

"Are you sure you're pregnant? You're already thinking about baby names?" Jiang Chen laughed.

"Definitely pregnant."

"Hmm... I haven't thought about it yet."

Jiang Chen also began to ponder what name to give their future baby. Generally, a child's name contains the expectations of their parents.

Jiang Chen loved the sea and yearned for the stars and the universe; perhaps he could think in that direction.

However, he hadn't decided yet, so he set it aside for the moment.

...

The Sister Li aircraft carrier fleet dispatched the Tongtian Aircraft Carrier fleet.

They let the Tongtian Aircraft Carrier take responsibility for transporting the wreckage and black porcelain back to the country.

Meanwhile, Sister Li and the Chiyao Aircraft Carrier continued to head south, sailing towards the Antarctic continent.

With the advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative, a large number of countries joined the plan to jointly develop the Antarctic continent.

However, the more countries that participate, the more deterrent force is needed.

Currently, only the Dragon God aircraft carrier fleet is sailing in the Antarctic continent.

Although the United States no longer had the power to deploy forces here, Sister Li still led the Chiyao Aircraft Carrier to the waters near the Antarctic continent.

They were preparing for a routine meeting with the Dragon God aircraft carrier fleet. After all, it had been over a month since their last rendezvous.

[Received, mission will be completed.]

Inside the command room of Sister Li, Xue Yao also received some other tasks from Commander Tang Ze.

"Honey, I need to go to Great Wall Station to bring some things back to the country."

"Are you coming with me?" Xue Yao asked Jiang Chen.

She had already reported to Commander Tang Ze about going to the Antarctic continent to rendezvous with the Dragon God, and Commander Tang Ze had given her a few other temporary tasks.

Go to Great Wall Station?

Jiang Chen was a bit surprised. He had thought they were just going to cruise around the Antarctic continent. He didn't expect her to have to go to Great Wall Station.

Great Wall Station, as one of the Dragon Kingdom's scientific research stations, is located inside the Antarctic continent.

From the continental landing port to the research station, it takes five hours even by plane. If one were to travel on foot, it would take over half a month.

"I'll accompany you; we can't let the baby catch a cold." Jiang Chen touched Xue Yao's belly.

Although her belly didn't show any signs yet, Jiang Chen knew that once she was pregnant, her body would react.

At that time, if he wasn't by her side, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable.

So Jiang Chen chose to accompany her to the Antarctic continent.

"Honey, love you, mwah." Xue Yao leaned happily against Jiang Chen.

It was September now. The weather was gradually turning cold.

Fortunately, the Sister Li aircraft carrier fleet had a regular supply of seasonal clothing, so there was no need to worry about freezing like a dog when they arrived at the Antarctic continent.

Furthermore, for this trip to the Antarctic continent, Xue Yao had calculated the timing well.

It was September now, and in another twenty-some days, it would be around the Autumnal Equinox.

The Autumnal Equinox, around September 23rd, is when the Antarctic continent begins its polar day, lasting until the Vernal Equinox of the following year, around March 22nd.

The so-called polar day means twenty-four hours of daylight. There is no night. The polar night is the exact opposite.

Xue Yao chose this time to go, just in time for the polar day.

The polar day is also the most suitable time for scientific researchers to go out. Otherwise, during the polar night, most of the time is dark, which is inconvenient for field research.

The Sister Li aircraft carrier cruised slowly.

Twenty days later, the Sister Li aircraft carrier, carrying a small fishing boat, slowly arrived at the landing port in the South Indian Ocean region.

This landing port had a military harbor for aircraft carriers to dock. There was also an airport nearby, which could fly directly to the research station.

With the advancement of the Belt and Road Initiative, the Dragon Kingdom planned to set up a few more landing ports nearby.

However, they were still in the process of infrastructure construction.

[The Sister Li aircraft carrier fleet and the Chiyao Aircraft Carrier fleet are about to enter the landing port.]

[Hurry up and break the ice nearby.]

On the first day of the polar day, near the landing port, a large group of workers were operating large icebreakers to clear away the ice, icebergs, and other things that would hinder the aircraft carriers from entering the port.

On board Sister Li, Xue Yao had put on a warm coat.

Although it was only September 23rd, they had arrived at the Antarctic continent, and it was extremely cold.

She stood on the deck, watching the aircraft carrier getting closer and closer to the port. She was holding a pregnancy test stick in her hand. It showed two red lines. She was pregnant.

And this day happened to be September 23rd, the Autumnal Equinox.

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Chen immediately jumped out of the cockpit and came to the command room where Xue Yao was.

"Pregnant?"

"Mm!" Xue Yao nodded heavily.

Jiang Chen looked at the two red lines on the pregnancy test stick. His eyes lit up with joy as he said.

"I suddenly thought of what to name the baby."

"Let's call it, Commander Jiang Qiuzhi!"
