Chapter 1707 The Pearl of the Atlantic Ocean (Second update, please subscribe)
The troubles in the world seem to never stop. Big things and small things, there always seem to be all kinds of things happening in the world.

Compared to the outside world, the Falkland Islands, located in the southern Atlantic Ocean far away from human civilization, seem to be far away from the troubles of the world. Although more than ten years ago, the governance of the Falkland Islands was divided, the United Kingdom retained the governance of East Falkland Island, while the West Falkland Islands and its affiliated islands were leased to SEA for space monitoring.

Initially, West Falkland Island only had a space monitoring station, but with the construction of airports and other facilities, the workers of that time stayed on the island. They raised sheep and even planted fields on the island, and built ports. The fishery industry also flourished. Gradually, with the prosperity of the industry, West Falkland Islands developed from a place with a population of only a few hundred people into a small city with a population of tens of thousands.

After years of development, this small town now has a prosperous scene, so much so that some people even think that it is the pearl of the Atlantic.

Of course, if it develops for a few more decades, this may become possible.

After all, this place has its own unique industries.

Fisheries are the lifeblood of this small city. It is not just about deep-sea fishing, but more importantly, breeding. After years of development, West Falkland Island has become the world's second largest Atlantic salmon breeding base.

In the early morning of West Falkland Island, the sea breeze with a salty and humid smell gently brushed across the sea. The sky was a little pale, and the sun had not yet risen completely, but the sea was already sparkling.

Wang Hekun stood on the deck of the feed boat, chatting and laughing with his colleagues, holding a thermos cup in his hand, the heat rising in the cold air and dissipating in the morning breeze.

"The wind today is quite kind, not as rough as last time."

Wang Hekun said to Lao Li beside him with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits.

It's not just the wind, there's also the Antarctic current. The strong Antarctic current not only brings a large number of aquatic organisms, but also brings wind and fog, and of course, low temperatures, which causes the water temperature here to be relatively low, and this is also the reason why salmon can be raised here.

Old Li laughed and patted him on the shoulder:

"You're lucky, the feed supply will go smoothly today. Let's finish it early and end it soon!"

The feed ship slowly sails towards the salmon farm in the middle of the channel.

From a distance, the central platform of the farm looks like an isolated island, standing on the blue sea of ​​the fjord. Around the platform, ten long black plastic pipes extend outward like tentacles, connecting ten huge steel floating rings. Under each floating ring hangs a deep net fence, and the densely packed salmon are swimming inside, their silvery white bodies gleaming in the morning light.

"arrive!"

Wang Hekun put down the stainless steel thermos cup, walked to the side of the ship, and skillfully directed his colleagues to bring the feed boat to the central platform. As soon as the boat stopped, the feed pump began to roar, and the feed in the cabin was transported to the storage bin on the central platform through the thick pipe.

Several staff members on the central platform had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Wang Hekun and his friends, they smiled and waved to greet them:
"A-Kun, you came quite early today!"

"Of course not, finish the work quickly and go back to rest early!"

Wang Hekun responded while busy checking the connection of the feed pump. His movements were skillful and quick, and it was obvious that he was familiar with this process.

Amid the roar of the feed pump, hundreds of tons of feed were quickly loaded onto the central platform.

The feed for farmed salmon is mainly made of ground fish meal and oil, but krill meal is also added, which helps to increase the fish's feed intake and growth performance, and also improves their appearance. Krill is also a product unique to the Antarctic region and is extremely abundant.

Because the feed loading is done automatically, after connecting the feed pump, Wang Hekun and his colleagues chatted with the staff on the platform. The people on the platform work six days a week and rest ten days a week. Once they arrive at the farm, they will not see anyone else except a few colleagues for six days.

The sea breeze was mixed with a faint fishy smell of feed, but everyone had long been accustomed to this smell.

"This batch of salmon will be available in two months, and they are even bigger than the last batch!"

A staff member on the platform said excitedly.

"It will surely be sold for a good price then."

Wang Hekun nodded and glanced at the floating ring in the distance.

Under each floating ring hangs a huge deep net pen, in which up to 20 salmon swim constantly. These fish are plump, and their silvery scales glitter in the morning light, like pieces of flowing silver.

"This is the largest salmon farm in the world. We are doing big business!"

Old Li said proudly, with a hint of pride in his tone.

Wang Hekun smiled and didn't say anything.

He looked at the salmon circling in the deep net pen, and felt a little complicated. Although these fish were plump, their fate was already determined - to be sent to the table and become a delicacy in people's mouths.

Like many people on the island, he is just a small link in this huge industrial chain. This huge industrial chain is the unique cold water aquaculture technology of SEA. This is the result of many years of research by researchers. The cold water brought by the Antarctic circulation is used to farm salmon in the fjords and nearby waters of the Falkland Islands. In the past few years, salmon farming here has developed into a huge industrial chain.

Looking at the garden ring floats on the farm.

Wang Hekun, one has a feeling, he is those fish.

He feels this way because in salmon farming, eggs are collected from broodstock, hatched, and fingerlings, fry and juveniles are continuously raised in land-based facilities. Yes, everything is on land.

In the hatchery, the collected broodstock eggs are grown from larvae from hatching to 5g and divided into dozens of aquariums for vaccination.

Then the fry are raised from 5g to 25g and also divided into dozens of aquariums, where the fish will grow without natural enemies and, of course, without a natural environment.

After growing into fry in indoor pools, they are transported by truck to outdoor pools at coastal freshwater farms.
The salinity is gradually increased to the final stage of fry, which are then transported to sea farms.

It grew into a fish, and here it walked from land to sea for the first time.

Yes, it was finally released into the sea - actually it was still in a cage, just bigger. They never left the cage from birth to death.

The reason why Wang Hekun felt this way was because... he had never left the Falkland Islands, just like those fish.

The morning light shines on the sea, making the waves sparkle. The floating rings and deep net fences in the distance are particularly eye-catching in the sun.

"Let's go, go back!"

Old Li patted Wang Hekun on the shoulder and said with a smile.

Wang Hekun nodded, took a last look at the salmon swimming in the deep net fence, and turned to the cabin. The feed boat slowly left the central platform and headed towards West Falkland Island.

The sea breeze was still blowing gently, bringing with it a salty and humid scent. Wang Hekun stretched out his hand to feel it all. As the ship sailed towards the port, the roar of an airplane was heard in the air; a C141 transport plane was landing.

Every two weeks, a C141 arrives from Cape Town - this is the only communication channel between the Falkland Islands and the outside world.

Because the Falkland Islands are located in the corner of the world, there are no civil aircraft here. Only military transport planes take off and land here to connect the Falkland Islands with the outside world.
The planes come every two weeks, bringing all kinds of supplies needed on the island. Of course, the people on the island also leave the Falkland Islands for the mainland by plane. Of course, they also come to the Falkland Islands from the mainland by military transport planes.
For Wang Hekun, every time he sees a plane in the sky, all he thinks about is when he can take a plane to leave here and go to his prosperous homeland. He yearns for the prosperous metropolises in movies and TV.

Wang Hekun forgot where he was as he watched the plane slowly descending from the sky.

Old Li looked at him and said with a smile:

"Still thinking about leaving,"

"Sooner or later, I will leave Chang'an, Kuching, and Dongning..."

Some people are eager to leave, while others are eager to return.

"Once we're in the Falklands, we're almost home,"

Bai Zhicheng looked out the window at the islands in the sea. When he left Yinglong, he also took a plane from the Falkland Islands.

Now I'm finally going home!

The Falkland Islands are not Bai Zhicheng's home. His home is in Yinglong, where he lives with his father, and his younger brothers and sisters. A few years ago, his father married a Korean wife introduced by someone else, and now he has four younger brothers and sisters.

Of course Bai Zhicheng didn't mind this. After all, it was impossible for his father to be single forever.

Not only did he not mind, he was also eager to see his family.

However, he never made the trip until now, after being away from home for many years, he finally had the opportunity to go home.

"Mr. Bai,"

At this time, a crew member walked up to him and said:
"What a coincidence today. We just contacted the ground and found out that there is a plane flying to Yinglong. We have already contacted them and they will wait for you. You can get on the plane directly after a while and fly for a few more hours to get home!"

The news brought by the officer made Bai Zhicheng so excited that he almost cried out.
"That's great, thank you, thank you, I can finally go home,"

The officer who followed him in thanks looked at the young man in front of him and said,
"Thank you for being there to protect our land. Thank you for your contribution and sacrifice!"

As a soldier, the officer knew very well what kind of sacrifices the people of Yinglong had made. Sometimes, eternity is a kind of sacrifice. They live and guard in a place far away from human civilization.

What are they guarding in Antarctica?
It is the future, SEA's voice and ownership in Antarctica,

Dozens of minutes later, Bai Zhicheng, who got off the C141 transport plane, boarded the C130 transport plane. When the plane took off, he was excited. In a few hours, he would be home and see his family whom he had not seen for a long time!

Just a few more hours!
Bai Zhicheng, who was eager to return home, kept looking out the window. After flying for several hours, the captain's voice came from the cabin radio.
"Okay, fellow passengers, we have now arrived in Yinglong, which is the farthest town from our country's mainland and one of the three towns that are unique to humans."

Finally arrived home. When Bai Zhicheng looked at the earth through the plane window, he was completely stunned - is this Yinglong?
