Bai Yujing took the Center out of the room in the base and played with it in his hands. Since the heating was on inside the base, Bai Yujing also took off his down jacket and wore only a blue sweater.
"Ding dong!"
"Main mission released: Find the D-Class Anomaly Merfolk, reward 100 points. Failure to complete the mission will result in a deduction of 200 points. If points are insufficient, previously exchanged items, skills, and enhancements will be revoked." The system finally reached the threshold for mission determination and issued the task.
"Side Quest One: Find the legendary Atlantis Ruins, reward 100 points!"
"Side Quest Two: Find a living Merfolk, communicate with them, and learn about their culture and background, reward 50 points!"
Bai Yujing carefully observed the mission panel and suddenly noticed an additional Territory Block. However, its color was currently dim, indicating that it was not activated yet; he was unsure what it meant.
"Knock knock knock!" There was a knock at the door. Bai Yujing opened it to find Liu Xinwu and a young man wearing glasses, who looked scholarly and gentle. Bai Yujing glanced at them and let them both in.
"This is Wen Feng, as I mentioned before. He is responsible for this generation's topographical mapping work and knows this area very well!" Liu Xinwu immediately introduced the person beside him to Bai Yujing.
Wen Feng immediately became embarrassed: "No, no, you overestimate me. My work mainly involves surveying along the coastline; I rarely have opportunities to go deep into the interior. The scientists and researchers who came before wanted to go inside were all taken by Brother Liu."
Liu Xinwu quickly said, "But you are the most familiar person with this place. We need you to help us design the fastest and safest route to our destination."
Wen Feng replied, "Really? You guys really want to go inside? It's almost winter now; even the coastline is filled with dangers. After a while, our Research Station will close because supply ships won't come here anymore as the sea begins to freeze. Even icebreakers cannot break through the thick ice layers to reach us. All Research Stations are starting to reduce their permanent staff for winter hibernation. Coming here at this time is really ill-timed!"
Liu Xinwu immediately said, "This is a mission, Wen Feng!"
Wen Feng nodded: "Alright, I agree to join you. But you need to tell me where your destination is so I can design a route for you!"
Seeing that Liu Xinwu had convinced Wen Feng, Bai Yujing immediately said, "Since Wen Feng has agreed, let's hold a meeting with all members of our expedition team. I will outline our objectives for this trip!"
Everyone gathered in a shabby conference room, with various blackboards on the walls. In the center was a sofa surrounded by several wooden chairs, and everyone was looking at Bai Yujing standing on the stage. Although they had received their mission and been repeatedly instructed by their leaders, none of them, including Liu Xinwu, knew what the objective of their trip was.
Six pairs of curious eyes were fixed on Bai Yujing. Each person was filled with questions about why they had been brought together in this place, risking so much. The blackboard was wiped clean, and Bai Yujing leaned against it, organizing his thoughts.
"I know everyone is very curious about the purpose of our trip. Let me ask first, has anyone seen the recent news? What is the most significant event related to our country lately?" Bai Yujing asked everyone.
"Our country shot down the United States's third-generation high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, Aurora!" Li Xiang immediately responded.
The chubby Liu Hai thought for a moment and said, "Our country's materials science has made significant breakthroughs, leading to a series of technological innovations domestically, including in engines and aerospace technology!"
Bai Yujing nodded: "I won't keep you in suspense. This is because our country has discovered something left behind by the Prehistoric Civilization. After conducting research on it, we obtained results. Our mission is to find the actual site of this Prehistoric Civilization. Just think about it: even a single ordinary object left behind can significantly promote technological development. If we can find its complete existence, what kind of impact would that have on the entire world? So do you all understand the importance of our mission?"
After hearing Bai Yujing's words, everyone became restless. Wen Feng immediately stood up: "How is that possible? White Collar Team, are you sure you're not joking?"
Bai Yujing leaned against the wall and said, "Are you sure the country would spend such a great cost to gather all of us in Antarctica, risking entering the heart of Antarctica during winter just to tell you a joke?"
Liu Xinwu quickly pulled Wen Feng down into his seat: "Listen first; don't speak out of turn. Have some discipline!"
Wen Feng quickly nodded and sat down: "I just... I just got a bit excited. If this is true, all of us here could very well be recorded in history as contributors to human scientific advancement. This is truly amazing!"
Li Xiang said, "I estimate that White Collar Team will already be recorded in history. That object left behind by the Prehistoric Civilization, it must be what White Collar Team discovered!"
Bai Yujing nodded in acknowledgment. When it was confirmed that this was real, everyone's eyes lit up with excitement. To be part of such a significant event made everyone feel passionate about contributing to human scientific development, potentially being included in textbooks and becoming heroic figures.
Wen Feng hesitated to speak, and Bai Yujing immediately noticed: "Wen Feng, if you have any questions, just say them directly!"
Wen Feng couldn't hold back any longer: "Can I ask, what is the name of this Prehistoric Civilization, or where is its site located?"
Bai Yujing nodded, took out a map from his backpack, and placed it on the Blackboard, securing it with magnets. "You may have heard of this Prehistoric Civilization; it's called Atlantis. The location we can currently confirm is marked by this circle on the map."
Bai Yujing pointed to a small red circle marked on the map. It wasn't very conspicuous, but it was the result of multiple calculations. Wen Feng immediately adjusted his glasses: "It seems our luck might be good; the location is between Prince Charles Mountain and the South Pole, where we have a Research Station—our country's first inland research station in Antarctica, Kunlun Station. However, this red circle has too large a range; searching for it will be incredibly challenging!"
Bai Yujing nodded: "I understand the difficulties involved. However, I want to tell everyone that we are not the only ones searching for Atlantis; there are others looking for it as well. What we can confirm is that we have gained an advantage. If we fall behind even slightly, we might lose this advantage or even have it taken away by others! Therefore, we must be the first to find this place before anyone else, do you understand?"
"Moreover, although the area is large, let's not forget that Atlantis is a city of Prehistoric Civilization. I believe its area won't be too small. As long as we are careful, we will surely discover some clues. Searching for a city's ruins within this entire range isn't as difficult as we imagine!" Bai Yujing encouraged everyone.
Then Bai Yujing looked at Wen Feng: "You just mentioned that we have an inland research station here, right? Where is it located?"
Wen Feng stood up and walked to the Blackboard, pointing to a location on the map: "Right here, near Dome A, which is the highest point of the Antarctic ice sheet. It's about seven or eight hundred kilometers from our target location, but that's already very close. If we set off from Zhongshan Station without any resupply along the way, it's almost impossible for us to complete this mission."
"Although Kunlun Station isn't large, it has all the necessary facilities. We can first establish ourselves there and safely search for our target location. This is a significant advantage for us because there are hardly any other countries' Research Stations in this area!" Wen Feng said excitedly.
Bai Yujing was also very pleased: "Well done! How many people are at Kunlun Station?"
Wen Feng shook his head: "No one. The environment there is too harsh; only two months a year have people stationed there. It's currently vacant!"
Bai Yujing nodded: "Then let's prepare and head to Kunlun Station to establish ourselves before entering inland Antarctica!"
