After discussing with Mary, Duanmu Huai returned to his room, logged onto the foundation's website, and requested them to enquire whether the Royal Academy planned a scientific expedition to the Antarctic.

The foundation's information resources were impeccable, and it didn't take long for Duanmu Huai to receive a response. According to the information they had gathered, the Royal Academy indeed planned to conduct geological surveys in the Antarctic. However, as previously mentioned, the Antarctic wasn't a destination for everyone. Apart from the time required for such a trip, the astronomical cost was also a deterrent. It seemed improbable that an institution under the royal patronage like the Royal Academy would shell out such a hefty amount to sponsor a group of people going to dig up rocks in the Antarctic.

However, thankfully, this kind of purely altruistic research expedition itself wasn't difficult to get approved. The only issue lay in the financing.
