Chapter 633 - 630: Flames and Solid Ice
The rich fat dripped down the venison, emitting an extremely enticing aroma.
Everyone who had been hungry all day felt their stomach acids churning, but upon hearing Bi Fang’s plan, without exception, all stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears.
Where would the next adventure be?
This matter was far more important than eating.
Bi Fang, holding a whole deer leg, tore off a chunk of fatty sinew and chewed it. After a long moment, he swallowed and faced the crowd’s gaze, uttering a single word.
"Arctic."
"I will go to the Arctic."
A gust of night wind blew by, and the fear of coldness etched into their genes made everyone shiver in unison.
The Arctic?
Bi Fang closed his eyes in contemplation, and within the system panel, a new mission glimmered with a faint blue light.
[Mission Name: Icy Tundra]
[Mission Location: Greenland]
[Mission Mode: Survival]
[Mission Difficulty: T6]
[Mission Requirements: No equipment other than system gear may be carried.]
[Main Mission One: Start a live broadcast with a consistent online viewership of over five million.]
[Main Mission Two: Survive one hundred days in good condition.]
[Side Mission: Explore on your own.]
[Guaranteed Reward: Balance Enhancement Coupon*1]
[Time Limit: One hundred and fifty days.]
A one hundred day survival challenge—before this, Bi Fang had never encountered a mission challenge with such a long duration.
Especially since the location was the Arctic, Greenland.
The two poles, north and south, the coldest points on Earth.
Greenland, located within the Arctic, is one of the coldest places there.
The Arctic is different from Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent, boasting the only Antarctic region in the world without human habitation, while the Arctic’s center is not the same—it’s not a continent but a sea—the Arctic Ocean.
The island closest to the North Pole is actually not Greenland but the Svalbard Archipelago, meaning Cold Coast, which is a Polar Region natural archipelago in the Arctic Ocean, under the sovereignty of Norway.
One of Huaxia’s Arctic re
At the time of the Great Ice Age, humans had not yet appeared on Earth, and during the entire human society period, there had been no incidences of a Great Ice Age.
However, some periods have had climate characteristics similar to those of the Great Ice Age, but not as severe. These periods are referred to as Little Ice Ages,
More than three hundred years ago, during the "Little Ice Age" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population decreased by half due to the cold.
Of course, this wasn’t because they were all frozen to death, but rather because crops had difficulty growing, which led to a sharp decline in food production and more people actually died of starvation.
But at the end of the day, it was still essentially a result of temperature changes.
The Ming Dynasty was a glorious era, and many time-travel novels yearn to go back to the past to change everything. But the biggest problem wasn’t Wei Zhongxian or foreign enemies, it was the temperature, it was nature.
Bi Fang stretched out his hand, feeling the searing heat from the fire, and then looked up at the gradually sinking sun.
The fundamental reason Earth can foster life is because of the sun.
Adequate temperatures ensured that water was neither the stubborn glaciers on Europa nor the sulfuric acid rain that falls on Mars, igniting wildfires.
The just-right temperature turned the water into flowing primordial oceans, where countless molecules collided billions of times, giving birth to the first primitive life form.
The root of all these coincidences is the giant fireball in the sky.
Bi Fang lifted his hand, and the setting sun shone obliquely through his fingers, casting several shadows on his face.
Warm and cozy.
