Steel torrents pioneering a different world

Chapter 11 The snowstorm is too cold! (Please read on and add to your favorites)

Leaving aside the mysterious 0.03 percent unknown gas, the significant difference in the nitrogen-oxygen ratio in this other world is enough to prove that the ecological environment of this world is different from that of Earth.

In an oxygen-rich environment, the world could very well give rise to creatures much larger than those on Earth.

If native humans exist in this world, their average height and physical abilities might far exceed those of humans on Earth.

Zhao Chong thought to himself!

The combat team remained highly vigilant, looking around to protect the scientific expedition team as they conducted preliminary scientific exploration.

Zhao Chong carefully observed his surroundings and, after confirming that there were no immediate biological threats, turned to Vice Captain Wang Jian, who was getting out of the car: "Proceed according to plan!"

"Roger that!"

Wang Jian nodded, then attempted to retreat.

He stopped abruptly when his body touched the portal.

The information that had suddenly appeared in his mind resurfaced, causing a look of realization to cross his face.

Sure enough!

"Captain, just as expected, after contacting the time portal, a countdown appeared in my mind, showing that it would take 24 hours to return."

"24 hours?" Zhao Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

Another team member walked over, sensed the information in his mind, and added, "Captain, me too!"

Zhao Chong stepped forward and slowly approached the portal that emitted a faint light.

After sensing the information, Zhao Chong completely relaxed.

"As expected, there are restrictions. There are no restrictions on entering, but there are restrictions on returning. Fortunately, it's only for 24 hours!"

"Team Leader Su and the others' predictions were accurate. No wonder the missing military dog ​​just lingered by the door and couldn't return. Given the intelligence of a military dog, it couldn't understand the countdown!" Xiao Zhou said with a smile.

"According to the plan, I will try to transmit important information to the command center. Everyone else, stay alert, and be careful in the sky too! Beware of any fantastical creatures that may appear nearby," Zhao Chong decisively ordered.

"Captain, fantasy creatures?"

“Yes, since this is a Western fantasy world with magic, there will naturally be magical creatures. Some magic is very sensitive to the rule of the sky. Let’s first visually assess the surrounding environment. For now, we should prioritize caution and safety.”

They carry "bionic flapping-wing drones" used for special reconnaissance. These drones are almost indistinguishable from animals and have extremely high stealth capabilities.

However, the wind and snow are very heavy here, and the electromagnetic interference is strong. With the wind and snow still blowing, the small drone will probably lose its flight and become useless.

For reconnaissance of space and surrounding areas, it is best to use medium-sized drones.

But releasing that thing not only makes it large, but also very noisy.

It's best not to reveal their presence until you've confirmed that the area is safe.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chong looked at the time portal behind him again.

As he moved 150 meters away from the portal, the thick portal faded almost visibly.

The portal to another world, standing tall in the snowy landscape, was almost an integral part of that space.

"Is this the domain and disguise of a spacetime portal? Is it to prevent us from the other world from seeing us?"

“A discovery completely different from the modern world.” Li Xiang frowned as he left the space-time portal area and saw the portal’s disguised changes.

"Since things have come to this, let's first survey the surrounding environment. Let the professionals handle the professional tasks!"

"Ok!"

Teammates have already gone to nearby high points to set up watch posts, while the warriors in the time portal area have begun to load ammunition onto the Sharp Eagle drones, ready to launch them at any time to provide them with high-altitude fire support.

If they had brought fiber optic drones, that would have been great. They thought that military drones were already strong enough against interference, but they didn't expect the electromagnetic interference in this other world to be so abnormal, almost reaching the level of full-channel interference.

The special forces consisted of only 12 people, including a research and combat team of 4. However, they carried enough supplies, such as oxygen, to sustain them for six months of combat using combat vehicles and robotic dogs.

The use of drones and other high-altitude reconnaissance equipment is very effective in this snowy environment. If they do discover supernatural creatures attacking them, they are prepared to strike first.

Even in environments with strong electromagnetic interference and heavy snow, medium-sized anti-interference military equipment can ensure the safety of the surrounding environment for several kilometers.

In addition to the Sharp Eagle, the Rainbow 905, a military-grade hand-launched reconnaissance drone, was also brought out. This new generation of drones has a loiter time of 1.5 hours and a reconnaissance radius of 7 kilometers. When it flies to an altitude of 300 meters, the sound generated on the ground is reduced to 10 decibels, almost inaudible to the human ear, similar to ambient noise.

While the soldiers were scouting and keeping watch over the surroundings, Zhao Chong stood at the edge of the time portal, trying to convey information through gestures!
Whether looking from the modern world or from another world into the modern world, it's as if we're looking through frosted glass.

Although the colors of the modern world appear distorted and blurry when viewed from here, one can still make out the general outline if one looks closely.

However, on the other side of this modern-day portal, several striking colors stand side by side, yet they do not interfere with each other. This is an emergency communication color-coding chart devised by the think tank, primarily for use in case the two worlds are unable to communicate and for emergency communication between them.

Zhao Chong took out a red flag and a purple flag from the package, and together with his teammates, they slowly began to slide according to the pre-arranged special body language rules!

"Red flag indicates an error; purple flag indicates temporary inability to return!"

Then, they used standard military flag-flying gestures, waving the flags in their hands!

Ten seconds later, he repeated the sequence of actions he had just performed.

They repeated this process several times before finally stopping with their teammates.

Seeing the same action appear on the other side of the time portal, Zhao Chong and Vice Captain Wang Jian and others stared wide-eyed at it closely.

"Headquarters has seen it!"

They continued to wave the message
"Return error, normal return is expected after 24 hours. Multi-functional combat engineering battalion is ready to proceed."

"Headquarters received"

"Reinforcements are on their way." Zhao Chong continued waving. "Li Xiang, go and carry out your mission."

"Okay, I'll get back to work now."

"it is good!"

Li Xiang began to carefully organize the collected specimens, preparing them for preservation and labeling.

Li Xiang dug for about half a meter before finally reaching the soil, and was immediately surprised: "The snow is really thick!"

He looked up at the sky and found that the sun was very large, similar to the sun in the central plains of the earth in late autumn, but the sun was more reddish.

"The sun looks that big. I guess its orbit is different from Earth's."

"Engineer Li, the temperature here is off; it feels even colder than in Northeast China," reported a soldier who was assisting Li Xiang and spoke with a strong Northeastern accent.

"I also feel something's not right! Let's do some basic testing first; we'll have to wait for the high-precision instruments to arrive for more detailed checks!"

Li Xiang is from Beihe, whose hometown is near Hohhot, and he also served in the Northern War.

Logically, their modern, closed-off protective clothing should be very warm and able to protect them from the cold air.

But the bone-chilling coldness made them feel something was off.

In addition, many soldiers said they had a vague feeling of being spied on!
Soon, Li Xiang had collected all the materials: "Captain Zhao, the preliminary data collection and sealing here are complete."

"Very good." Zhao Chong nodded, then ordered Wang Jian, the deputy captain beside him, "Wang Jian, have all the malfunctioning mechanical dogs been retrieved and categorized?"

"Report: Mission accomplished!"

……

Zhu Rihe, the other side of the time portal.

Su Mingjin narrowed her eyes, her pupils reflecting the distorted light and shadow, trying her best to discern every detail.

"...Abnormal...Temporarily safe"

"Return time: 24 hours"

"People safe is good!"

Su Mingjin rubbed her temples: "Just like the third deduction before, it's good news!"

The third reasoning is that modern people who travel through the time portal can only return under certain conditions.

It is currently uncertain whether visitors from another world can travel freely to and from the other world.

She issued the order in a deep voice: "Send more supplies there as planned, and the base construction team can also be mobilized."

Before long, the troops and supplies, which had been waiting in ambush, entered the other world without any hindrance.

Su Mingjin smiled and said, "There's no problem with transporting supplies. I'm going in too."

"Let's wait another 24 hours!" Li Weiguo said from the side. "Let's wait until they come out and confirm the situation before going in. Haste makes waste."

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, I request immediate entry into the other world!"

"No, you can go in after the base is completed in 24 hours!"
