The ice thickness of Arctic glaciers is about 2-4 meters. The thickness of the glacier where the 249 scientific research station is located is thicker, reaching a maximum thickness of four meters.
After Huo Yu walked into the basement, his eyes widened in disbelief.
The depth of the entire basement reaches four meters, and the floor is made of double-layer tempered laminated glass.
This is a kind of safety glass made through multiple processes such as tempering, high pressure, and heating. This kind of glass is used in the glass planks in some scenic spots, and it is very strong.
The basement covers an area of about 100 square meters, and under the white lights, you can have an unobstructed view of the seabed.
Seawater is colorless, but due to its selective absorption and scattering of white light, seawater appears blue.
Huo Yu steps on the tempered glass and looks down as if he is on the blue seabed, giving him an immersive feeling.
There are various marine creatures under your feet that are attracted by the light, swimming around the light cast by the tempered glass, seemingly unaware that they are being watched by the humans above their heads.
Huoyu even saw an Arctic glow jellyfish that was one meter long and emitted a rainbow-colored halo.
Put the little fish on the ground and it immediately starts to have fun, happily jumping towards all kinds of marine creatures.
Huo Yu let out a long sigh.
The scenery in front of me is so stunning, but it's a pity that I can't share it with others. After all, the origin of this basement is difficult to explain.
If you can start a live broadcast at this time, you will definitely attract a huge number of fans!
Huo Yu was not in a hurry to leave here, but sat on the ground and watched the little fish play one-sidedly with various creatures in the water.
Being in this ocean world, Huo Yu felt that his soul was washed clean by the blue water, and his heart felt peaceful.
Nature is the most brilliant psychiatrist. It can always cleanse the human heart and save lost souls unknowingly.
Unfortunately, most people in modern society are unwilling to get close to it, nor are they willing to be healed by it.
After staying in the basement for about an hour, Huo Yu returned to the bedroom with Xiaoyu, who was still full of emotions.
The little guy is still young and his body is too immature, so it is best not to play too much.
After checking the conditions at the outpost and preparing a rich dinner for myself, the sky became completely dark.
After dinner, Huo Yu stretched out and walked out the door.
Outside the door is an endless snowfield, with solid ice covering the winding coastline and towering snow-capped mountains.
In the starry sky, thousands of stars shine with their own light, but they are filled with a peaceful and lonely beauty.
This kind of starry sea-like scenery can only be seen in the Arctic where there is no light pollution and no haze.
What he saw in front of him was no worse than the sea view in the basement. Huo Yu immediately started the live broadcast, preparing to attract a wave of fans.
Huo Yu's fans received the live broadcast reminder and entered the live broadcast room in confusion.
"What happened? The anchor added the broadcast?"
"Conscience anchor, are you still broadcasting at such a late hour?"
"I happened to be eating, and I wanted to find a TV series to accompany my meal!"
"Wow, so beautiful!"
Huo Yu smiled mysteriously at the camera, put his index finger to his mouth, and then pointed to the sky.
The camera moved with Huo Yu's fingers, and a brilliant picture of the sea of stars appeared in the live broadcast room.
"Oh my God, so many stars!"
"The sky is filled with stars. It turns out that this kind of scenery really exists on earth."
"Thank you anchor, I have never seen so many stars in my life."
"Can there be an aurora? I really want to see the aurora."
"The anchor should be very happy living here!"
We can't blame the viewers in the live broadcast room for making a fuss. Indeed, few people who grew up in the city have seen such a scene of stars filling the sky.
The limit of magnitude visible to the naked eye is magnitude 6, and the total number of magnitude 6 stars is less than 5,000. In fact, people with good eyesight can see stars above magnitude 6.5.
Limiting magnitude refers to the faintest magnitude that a telescope can see.
Assuming that the stars are evenly distributed, only more than half of the stars can be seen in the northern hemisphere, which is estimated to be about 3,000.
3,000 may not seem like a lot, but in the night sky that can be observed with the naked eye, it is almost a sky full of stars.
But due to light pollution and atmospheric pollution, the number of stars that can actually be seen is far less than this number.
In ordinary rural areas, without light pollution and atmospheric pollution, the limit magnitude is only about 5th magnitude.
In cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the ultimate magnitude is only 3, and only more than a hundred can be counted in the whole day.
At this moment, Huo Yu noticed that an audience member named [Light Chaser] in the live broadcast room asked another question about the aurora.
Huo Yu was very impressed by this viewer. Every time the show started, he or she would ask questions such as whether they would see the Aurora.
He must be an aurora enthusiast.
Huo Yu thought for a while and then said: "The Northern Lights are not available all year round. In the northern hemisphere, they only appear around winter."
"It's March now. There is a possibility of an aurora, but it's not very likely."
Looking at the barrage in the live broadcast room, the [Light Chaser] seemed to have stopped talking.
Huo Yu didn't care and said to himself: "Aurora is known as the greatest light show on earth. I have never seen this unique natural phenomenon in high latitudes."
"In Finnish, the Northern Lights are called 'fox fire'. People believe that the Northern Lights are foxes running on the tundra, and the sparks produced by friction are reflected in the sky."
"Of course we have known for a long time that the aurora is a natural phenomenon, and there is no scientific basis for the Finnish statement." Huo Yu smiled slightly, "But this does not affect its romance."
Huo Yu looked up at the sea of stars and continued to say to the audience: "I once heard the legend of the Arctic fox and the Northern Lights. It seems to be a tacit romanticism between humans and nature."
"September, when the cold nights fall over the fields and hills.
This is the season when the arctic fox appears.
The arctic fox's tail streaks across the frozen land, and the aurora rises instantly.
The northern night sky shines brightly, like lightning without thunder.
Please remember this when you gaze upon the Northern Lights.
You will feel the light splashing out deep in your soul and flowing to every corner.
The aurora becomes crimson and the night becomes more romantic.
It is said that when you see the Northern Lights, happiness will come as promised."
The gentle voice of the Huoyu sounded in the polar night, telling the legend of the Northern Lights like a poem.
There were only a few barrages passing through the live broadcast room, and everyone seemed to be in a state of romantic intoxication.
Until a barrage broke the peace in the live broadcast room.
"Anchor, turn around quickly, behind you is——"
Huo Yu looked back.
A brilliant and colorful light appeared in the sky.
It is like an elf in the night sky, floating lightly, dimming and brightening at the same time, emitting red, blue, green and purple light.
