Zhang Houde took out some more rice wine from the kitchen warehouse, and finally everyone drank so much that they staggered and supported each other back to the dormitory.
At the Ice Dragon Base, it was the first time that the canteen did not provide meals at noon and in the evening. However, no one was affected by this incident. Wang Zhigao was busy all night and slept until the evening before getting up. Ouyang Ji often forgot to eat and sleep when doing research, and did not come to eat, not to mention that he had his own small kitchen. Zhao Fei and the other three girls did not have to worry about the problem of eating.
Zhang Le slept until more than five o'clock in the evening and woke up the earliest. Although he drank a bottle and a half of white wine, he did not have the hangover that was common in the past.
The whole base was silent, with only the sound of the strong wind blowing the reflector in the center of the square. He came to the square with a hang glider on his back.
Putting on the exoskeleton bracket and buckling the two wings, Zhang Le began to experiment how to fly into the sky. He first imagined the take-off action of a bird in his mind, and then began to look for a suitable place to take off.
The square of the Ice Dragon Base is close to a square, with a length and width of 100 meters. The wind was blowing from the south at the Ice Dragon Base. Zhang Le walked to the northernmost end and stopped.
Stretching his arms, he felt the wind direction, and then began to jog. Halfway through the square, he realized that he had forgotten to flap his wings, so he had to go back to the starting point.
After taking a deep breath, Zhang Le rehearsed the action in his mind, and then began to flap his wings quickly. His enhanced body was indeed strong. Before he started running, he had already lifted Zhang Le off the ground by flapping his wings alone.
Zhang Le adjusted his body posture according to the wind direction and continued to flap his wings quickly. His body was getting higher and higher, and flapping his wings became easier and easier, just like a bird flying in the sky, without flapping its wings, it could glide with the wind.
But the good times didn't last long. A whirlwind suddenly passed by, and Zhang Le stumbled and fell straight down. Fortunately, he was calm and immediately flapped his wings quickly to stop the downward trend.
But this also scared Zhang Le into a cold sweat. You know, this place is about 40 meters above the ground. If you really fall down, the consequences will be disastrous.
People who play hang gliding usually have a small parachute to prevent emergencies. There is one in the warehouse. But Zhang Le didn't carry that thing. He felt that he was very different from people who used hang gliding. After all, he had wings like a bird. Have you ever seen a bird that was affected by air turbulence and then fell to death?
Flying has always been the dream of mankind, but Zhang Le is probably the first person to fly like a bird without external power and only rely on human power.
The higher he flew, the colder the air became. Originally, for the convenience of flying, he only wore three layers of thermal underwear. Although his body's resistance to cold was greatly increased after strengthening, Zhang Le still couldn't stand it. According to Zhang Le's visual estimation, his absolute altitude was more than 1,000 meters.
Just as Zhang Le was about to fall, he saw a black dot in the distance, which looked like a ship, but this black dot was stationary.
He wanted to fly over and have a look. The short training had already enabled him to master the basic flying skills. But reason prevailed because his hands and feet were almost out of control due to the cold.
When falling, Zhang Le deliberately passed over Zhao Fei's laboratory and landed easily on the square.
Since most of the houses in the Ice Dragon Base have transparent roofs, Zhang Le's actions really attracted the attention of Zhao Fei and others.
Soon, Zhao Fei, Cha Xiaoxia and Zhuge Chen walked out of the laboratory. It seemed that Zhuge Chen had completed the enhancement. Looking at Zhang Le with two big wings, the expressions of the three were extremely wonderful.
Zhang Le pressed his index finger on his mouth and signaled the three to go to the laboratory first.
In Zhao Fei's lounge, the three listened to Zhang Le's introduction and were amazed.
Cha Xiaoxia was even more eager to try. After completing the comprehensive enhancement of her genes, she was confident that she could do it.
Zhuge Chen could only sigh in despair. She had not undergone strength enhancement, so her body might not meet the requirements. She also knew that only Zhao Fei, Zhang Le and Cha Xiaoxia had completed comprehensive enhancement.
Only Zhao Fei exclaimed loudly: "I have seen many people with genetic enhancement, but you are the first one who can become a birdman in the end."
Cha Xiaoxia laughed, and Zhuge Chen couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Le told Zhao Fei about the possible discovery of the ship. Zhao Fei was not particularly excited, but just told him to investigate.
"Since you are ready to return to China, maybe you can find something useful in the ship." Zhao Fei casually told Zhang Le.
Zhang Le left Zhao Fei's laboratory and went to the dormitory area, only to find that a group of people were still sleeping.
Woke up Li Jun and told him about the discovery of the ship. Li Jun went to wake up Chen Zhiming and Wang Daqing.
After listening to the introduction, everyone was a little excited. The Arctic has a melting period in summer. It is definitely possible to sail where the ship can reach. Maybe in this summer when the snow melts, everyone can drive the ship back to China. In that case, the return trip will be much safer.
Wang Daqing's arm was only a skin injury. It looked scary, but it was actually not a big problem. When he saw Zhang Le again, he was extremely polite, but he didn't look embarrassed. Chen Zhiming was even more polite.
After drinking together, Wang Zhigao and several people in the security department became closer. Hearing the excitement outside, he also came out. Hearing about the ship Zhang Le mentioned, he also wanted to go and see it.
Zhang Le nodded in agreement first. After all, Wang Zhigao studied mechanics, so it would be helpful for him to go. Except for Li Jun, who had driven a tank before, the other guys in the security department could only do manual labor.
They left as soon as they said they would. Several people woke up Zhang Houde and asked him to prepare some dry food and dried meat.
Zhang Houde was also very excited after understanding the whole story. Maybe there was really hope to return home.
Only then did Li Jun remember to ask Zhang Le how he found the boat.
Zhang Le smiled and said, "You will know how I saw it later. The distance of the boat is at least 40 kilometers."
Everyone was stunned. How did they find it so far away?
Only Wang Zhigao's eyes lit up and showed an incredible expression.
They were all young people. They left as soon as they said they would. An hour later, the fully armed people set off. Each person had a backpack. Because it was expected to take only about five days to go back and forth, everyone didn't bring much. Food, water, tents, compasses, walkie-talkies, binoculars and ice picks were necessary. The rest depended on personal needs. Simple weapons for self-defense were also necessary. In addition to a backpack, Zhang Le also brought a large canvas bag. Only Wang Zhigao knew what Zhang Le brought.
The journey was easy at the beginning. They walked about five kilometers in an hour, but soon, everyone slowed down.
There are high and low places on the ice field. Most of the areas near the Ice Dragon Base are flat, but many places require climbing up and down. Although there are ice axes to help, climbing up and down the slopes is particularly exhausting. Wang Zhigao and Chen Zhiming, who have the worst physical strength, stopped first.
There is no way, everyone can only stop to rest. Among the five people, Zhang Le was the most relaxed, followed by Li Jun, Wang Daqing, and Wang Zhigao and Chen Zhiming.
Li Jun picked up the telescope and stood on a high slope, looking in the direction Zhang Le pointed. There was no trace, and he said puzzledly: "Mr. Zhang, how did you know it? Can you tell me now?"
Zhang Le laughed and said, "I'll open your eyes."
In the strange eyes of everyone, Zhang Le took off his cumbersome thick coat, leaving only two layers of thermal underwear and a layer of leather underwear.
Leather underwear is Zhang Le's latest attempt. After all, flying in the sky is not ordinary cold. Looking at Zhang Le's black leather jumpsuit, Wang Zhigao smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang's outfit is just missing a guitar."
Zhang Le, the leather pants man, took out an exoskeleton from his canvas bag, buckled it on his body, and took out a pair of folding wings, spread them out, and installed them on his arms. The joints fit tightly against Zhang Le's body. If you don't look closely, it seems that Zhang Le really has a pair of wings.
A set of leather pants, with huge gray wings, and a body without a trace of fat, makes Zhang Le look handsome. Wang Zhigao continued to shout, "Dark rock angel, haha."
Li Jun and others didn't know what Wang Zhigao was thinking, but they also felt that Zhang Le's outfit was wrong. This was a huge difference from Zhang Le's usual gentle image with glasses.
