In order to build a fifth scientific research station in the planned 60 days, the builders of the new station in the Ross Sea worked overtime every day under the Antarctic polar day and intense ultraviolet radiation.
Among the 104 builders of the new station, the youngest one is a post-00 generation, his name is Xie Shuaishuai. Despite his young age, he already has many years of experience in engineering. Now, the most common thing he says is "I screw in the Ross Sea". In order to grab time, at 7 o'clock in the morning every day, Xie Shuaishuai began his busy day.
Xie Shuaishuai, member of the new station construction team of the 40th Chinese Antarctic Expedition: My name is Xie Shuaishuai, and when my parents named me, they felt that one handsome word was no longer enough to describe me, so they added one more. I am 22 years old, from Weinan, Shaanxi Province, and I am the youngest member of the Antarctic expedition. I have been doing engineering for 5 years, and I will do all these in steel structure installation, electric welding, and hoisting command.
Xie Shuaishuai, member of the construction team of the new station of the 40th Chinese Antarctic Expedition: This is the road we go up the mountain and the road to work, and the one in front is our new station, and we should go home after walking for dozens of days.
Xie Shuaishuai, member of the construction team of the new station of China's 40th Antarctic Expedition: In April last year, when I was still working at the Xi'an construction site, the leader called me over and asked me if I wanted to go to AntarcticaWhat can I do in Antarctica? Later, when I looked at the drawings or something, we could do this, and we have all done it.
This is my job, and at a height of almost 20 meters above the ground, I can see the snow-capped mountains and the sea, as well as penguins and seals.
Xie Shuaishuai, a member of the construction team of the new station of China's 40th Antarctic expedition: We have pre-installed the components in Xuzhou, and then marked the front and back of our components, and made holes.
Xie Shuaishuai, member of the construction team of the new station of the 40th Chinese Antarctic Expedition: The location of the new station is in the Ross Sea, and I have been screwing in the Ross Sea for one day.
Tired is a little tired, the working time is a little long, but, the weather, the weather here is very bad, the more bad the weather is, the weather is good in the past two days, try to drive out a little more of the work behind, and the back will be easy to do.
Life here is very simple, there is no Internet, no game hall, no KTV, before coming, my parents also said, let me work hard, don't be ashamed.
Xie Shuaishuai, member of the construction team of the new station of China's 40th Antarctic expedition: I now know that I am working on the fifth Antarctic research station in our country, I have seen the renderings after completion, it is very beautiful, this is the most important and meaningful project I have ever done, after I go back, I want to tell all the people I know about these experiences, I think, they will definitely envy me, and I will be very proud!
