Captain Augustus is one of the few commissioners who knows Inuit and has many years of naval experience. Although he is from a B-class college, he was appointed as the captain of the Gulfaksi.
"Teacher younger brother, you see, you can believe what I tell you about the locals. Many of those myths say that there are sayings. Shall we go?"
Finger is timid again.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and looked up and said, "Tell them that ten times the original reward needs to take us 50 kilometers deep to turn back. If they don’t want to, they can leave the sled dog and go by ourselves."
Lu Chen has no habit of forcing others to do things. These Inuit are ordinary people, and the college has no intention of letting Inuit take them all the time.
At this time, another crew member came to Captain Augustus’ ear and said something. Then Augustus looked up. "It has been settled that the reward will be doubled to take us fifty kilometers deep."
Liu Chen turned and waved to finger. "Go back and have a rest first. I’m afraid I won’t have such a comfortable environment to sleep in the next few days."
After entering the cabin, he saw that Chuhang was telling a man something he didn’t understand.
The other is a man in a thick fur coat, short stature, wide nose, black and straight hair, and this is an Inuit.
There are Eskimos, but the Inuit don’t like people to call them Eskimos because this statement comes from their enemy, the Indian Algonquian tribe, which means "people who eat raw meat" and "Inuit" means "human beings" by themselves.
At this time, the man still took a little girl’s hand on his left hand to make Liu Chen wonder and look at Captain Augustus.
"Because of these people’s settlements, this gentleman lost his wife in his early years and has such a daughter to take us with him wherever he goes. It is also a per capita calculation-he is very happy, but he is not willing now because he does not want his daughter to take risks with him."
Augustus aside explained
"Then let the children stay. What are we going to do? Everyone knows that we can’t take the children to take risks."
Lu Chen took a look at the girl with a fluffy hat showing her little face, about nine or ten years old. She was a little short-browed, and some boyish. It is estimated that she is also a wild personality at ordinary times.
At this time, Chuhang seems to have finished communicating with the other party and came to Lu Chen’s side. "After discussing it, they will take us in depth, guide us in the right direction and then return."
"Well, let’s go to rest first. It seems that it’s not too late here at the moment. We expect to leave at 19 o’clock."
Lu Chen knew that ChuHang had little sleep in recent days.
The icebreaker continued to move forward, but the speed was getting slower and slower. Lu Chen, several people in the cabin slept on this heating and were ready to start.
"woof-woof-"
More than thirty Alaska were released from the cabin by Inuit.
These big dogs are happily rolled in the snow by their owners, and their fluffy fur and thick fat layer can make them adapt to the ice and snow environment, but warm the cabin, which is not suitable.
Later, the commissioners helped a lot of materials to be transported by sleigh. The high-calorie food was enough for four people to eat in the snowfield for half a month, and the fuel could keep them warm when they rested.
The Inuit picked up his daughter and said something. Then Lu Chen saw that the little girl was a little lost, but she obeyed and returned to the boat.
Before the Alaskans were tied to sleds one by one, the trained animals suddenly became quiet and waited for instructions from their owners.
Chuhang checked his personal equipment and took a sleigh. finger also teased these big dogs with a novel face, and then took another sleigh. Their sleigh was tied with various materials.
There is also a sled with the widest front and sixteen sled dogs pulling it. The bottom of the sled has been widened, which is a balanced stress surface. This sled does not sit and pulls a black box like a coffin.
Liu Chen walked behind the boat with double knives, and the commissioners saluted and sent them off.
He walked beside Chuhang and took a sleigh to "set out" with the other party.
The sled dog was enough to pull four or five sledges, but it was too heavy to be pulled alone.
Lu Chen originally wanted to go directly with Black Xuan on his back. Anyway, he is full of energy and it is nothing to travel long distances in the snowy field. But there are some places where the snow is thick. It is more troublesome for him to sink in with too much weight on his back.
As the Inuit shouted, Alaska ran happily, and sledges sped on the ice.
After about an hour’s travel, the Inuit man stopped Alaskans from saying something that Lu Chen didn’t understand.
"He said that dogs need to rest."
Chu Hang’s translation way
Lu Chen looked back at Heixuan’s group, and it was really difficult for them to be breathless and unable to run.
So several people stopped to make a fire, and the Inuit took out food and water for Alaska.
After all this, he went to Lu Chen and said a series of words. He knew that this was the person who was involved in the "scientific research"
To be honest, men have always been surprised by this scientific research team. He looks suspicious. Those people on the boat are not like scientists but like soldiers. What is more suspicious is that after arriving at the destination, several young people are actually asked to investigate.
Chu Hang translated, "He introduced himself as Verus."
"Verus?"
Lu Chen feels that this name is quite strange.
"Inuit means fluffy and warm, and their names are very particular, which will bless future generations with a beautiful vision."
Chuhang explained, and then Verus said a string.
"He said that we would have to rest for more than half an hour before we could start and reach the longest distance he was willing to go around the estimated time."
Chu Hang continued to translate.
"You tell him that he can go back in his sleigh when he is deep enough, and we won’t force him to let him lead the way."
Lu Chen gave Verus a broad smile, but the other side shrank its neck.
After a short rest, several people set off again. Liu Chenxin enjoyed the scenery of the snowy plain and felt very novel, but after watching it for a long time, he felt a little tired.
