161: Chapter 161 Times Have Changed, Alien Spaceships

"Commander Jiang Qiuzhi?"

"Haha, this is a nice festival."

"However, we're still not sure if it's a boy or a girl."

Xue Yao touched her belly; although it was still completely flat, she couldn't help but rub it, as if the baby were about to start kicking.

"Regardless of whether it's a boy or a girl, Commander Jiang Qiuzhi is fine, after all, it's a traditional solar term designated by our ancestors."

Jiang Chen said.

The Day of Autumnal Arrival is one of the twenty-four solar terms of the Dragon Kingdom.

It was used by the ancients to calculate agricultural seasons.

It has nothing to do with gender.

It can be used for both boys and girls.

Xue Yao tilted her head.

"Then what if it's twins?"

Twins?

Jiang Chen pondered: "Commander Jiang Qiuzhi! Jiang Zhiqiu."

"Fine, I'll try to have triplets!"

"Twins are enough; three against two isn't fair!"

"Hee hee!"

The two were enjoying a sweet moment.

The Sister Li aircraft carrier had already sounded its long horn to enter the port.

"Welcome, Commander Qin!"

"Welcome, Mr. Jiang!"

Xue Yao and the others got off the aircraft carrier.

Commander Li Jing of the Dragon God and the person in charge of the landing port were already walking towards them.

"Hello."

"When will you arrange for us to go to the scientific research station?"

Xue Yao asked directly.

This time, she was going to the Great Wall Station to collect some samples to bring back to the country for research.

These samples were painstakingly studied by the scientific research personnel during the polar night.

Being able to bring them back to the country as soon as possible was, of course, the best outcome.

Commander Li Jing waved his hand and said to the two: "No rush, the transport plane hasn't returned yet, everyone should go into the base to warm up first."

Commander Li Jing was very familiar with the area.

After all, he frequently patrolled the waters near the Antarctic continent and knew the situation around the landing port like the back of his hand.

Under the guidance of Commander Li Jing, the group entered a cold-proof military base.

Meanwhile, a few miles away.

Some foreign scientific researchers participating in the Belt and Road Initiative were working near the landing port.

These people were some engineers from Western Europe.

Back home, they could have earned high salaries.

However, their countries wanted a share of the dividends from the Dragon Kingdom's development of the Antarctic continent.

Thus, they sent some engineers to the landing port to participate in infrastructure projects.

Those who were unwilling to come would face salary cuts.

So, these engineers, carrying some resentment, began infrastructure projects on this frigid Antarctic continent.

"This continent will sooner or later belong to us in Western Europe."

One engineer was drinking vodka to warm himself up, feeling somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

This kind of harsh infrastructure project should be left to the people of the Dragon Kingdom to do.

While they should just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, only responsible for giving orders.

How could they make engineers like them come here to do odd jobs?

Another engineer also said: "Exactly, with our intelligence, we should be responsible for remote command, not getting down here ourselves... Damn it, this environment is too harsh, I want to go back to Western Europe and lie down while exploiting other countries."

"I miss it too."

A group of white engineers grumbled and muttered.

Just at this moment.

The long horn of an aircraft carrier entering the port sounded.

They all stood up and looked towards the landing port.

Their expressions were startled and suspicious.

"What's that sound?"

"It sounds like an aircraft carrier entering the port."

"Is it the Dragon God? But didn't it sound once when it entered the port before? Why did it sound three times this time?"

These white people couldn't help but climb up to a higher building to look at the landing port.

Soon.

Under the light of the polar day, they saw two major aircraft carrier fleets, the Sister Li and the Chiyao Aircraft Carrier, entering the landing port together.

"It's not the Dragon God, it seems to be other new aircraft carrier fleets!"

Looking at this massive fleet, the white people were dumbfounded.

Previously, there was only one aircraft carrier patrolling this Antarctic continent.

This had given them some courage to complain.

But now, two more aircraft carriers had arrived...

"Sigh, the situation is gone, the situation is gone!"

After their shock, the white people suddenly lost their momentum.

Under the deterrence of absolute power, even if they were dissatisfied, they could no longer harbor any thoughts of resistance.

"Get ready to work!"

Just at this moment.

A Dragon Kingdom engineer wearing a white construction helmet notified the group of white people.

A white engineer muttered: "It's only nine o'clock, why are we starting work already?"

"What, do you want to start work at ten and get off at three?"

"Gentlemen, times have changed. The good old days of drinking foreign wine, sitting with your legs crossed, and ordering others to do the work are over."

"Hurry up and advance the project."

"If you delay the work."

"I'll have your company transfer you back!"

The Dragon Kingdom engineer walked away after speaking.

There are plenty of countries that want to participate in the Belt and Road Initiative.

If these pampered Western European engineers are unwilling to participate, we can just replace them with another country.

"..."

The white engineers had no choice but to start working.

Being sent here was the will of their company.

If they were sent back, they probably wouldn't be able to stay in their company back home either.

In the afternoon.

Xue Yao and Jiang Chen, who had rested in the military base for half a day, walked out of the base.

"The transport plane has arrived at the airport, let me take you there."

Commander Li Jing greeted them.

A specially made Antarctic jeep drove over.

"Commander Li Jing, you take my staff there, my husband and I will take the small fishing boat."

Xue Yao said to Commander Li Jing.

Commander Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and he said: "Commander Qin, the Great Wall Station is even colder than our landing port, and there are rain and snow storms. Are you sure you want to take the small fishing boat?"

Although Commander Li Jing knew that the small fishing boat could fly, there was a distance between the landing port and the Great Wall Station.

He was a bit worried that the small fishing boat might get lost or encounter rain and snow storms.

However.

Xue Yao insisted on flying over in Jiang Chen's small fishing boat.

"Alright then, I'll have the transport plane lead the way for you the whole time."

Commander Li Jing thought it over repeatedly and finally agreed.

The staff went to board the transport plane.

And Jiang Chen took Xue Yao back to the cockpit of the small fishing boat.

Jiang Chen opened the cockpit, and the two sat in side by side.

Then he closed the cockpit.

He turned on the air temperature regulation system.

Soon, the temperature settled at twenty-three degrees, which was most suitable for a pregnant woman.

"The small fishing boat still gives me a sense of security."

Xue Yao leaned on Jiang Chen's shoulder.

Waiting for Jiang Chen to take off.

"Let's go!"

Jiang Chen patted her head.

He piloted the small fishing boat to the airspace near the airport first.

And as the small fishing boat took off from the sea surface.

Ten Horse Terracotta Warriors also followed and hovered in the air.

"Holy crap! What is that?"

The Dragon Kingdom scientific researchers at the landing port caught a glimpse of it and were instantly stunned.

"It looks like Terracotta Warriors... Not sure, let me look again!"

The researchers discussed it spiritedly, finding it very novel.

Come to think of it, they often saw the Dragon God test-fly some oddly shaped carrier-based aircraft, icebreakers, and other new types of equipment, but this was the first time they had seen such black technology with a small fishing boat shape, wings, and finally, being pulled by Terracotta Warriors.

And the white engineers who were working not far away.

After looking up and seeing ten Horse Terracotta Warriors pulling the boat flying past.

Were even so scared that they blurted out Chinese from the depths of their souls.

"Holy crap!"

"Alien spaceship?!"
