Steel torrents pioneering a different world

Chapter 148 Equipment I Don't Understand! Artificial Spirits! Mysterious Colossi! (Bonus Chapter Today, Please Vote!)
Ming Yufei exhaled a long breath of stale air, the air thick with the smell of diesel and gunpowder.

The scene before him left even the squad leader somewhat bewildered.

The roar of tracks grinding against the ground and the low growl of truck engines combined into a torrent of steel that nearly burst the entire camp.

"Am I seeing things? It's only been less than two months, and we've already modified so much equipment?"

Ming Yufei smacked his lips, feeling his throat go dry.

"Squad leader, you don't know this."

Jiang Ruixuan, standing beside him, had a mysterious look on his face, and even a hint of smugness.

Although he was just a new recruit who had just been transferred to the pioneering unit, he had served in the military for quite some time. He had the opportunity to handle several experimental pieces of equipment when he was in his old unit, and now he was showing off to his squad leader.

Jiang Ruixuan lowered his voice and pointed to a row of boxy vehicles: "Those are probably vehicle-mounted infrasound weapons, specifically designed to deal with those tough-skinned behemoths in the beast tide. If you ever encounter them on the battlefield, remember, never expose your body directly to their firing direction. Even if we're wearing protective suits, the experience will be quite unpleasant!"

He turned his head again, his gaze fixed intently on several heavy Dongfeng trucks, the equipment on board exuding a futuristic feel.

"And those vehicle-mounted laser weapons! My goodness... It seems those research giants back home have really solved the problem of strong electromagnetic interference in this other world! They've even brought these things to the front lines. From now on, taking down anything that flies in the sky will be as easy as roll call!"

The electromagnetic problem has also been solved?
Ming Yufei thought about the previous communication problems and felt speechless at Jiang Ruixuan's immature boasting.

If the electromagnetic problem could be solved, they would probably have achieved wireless communication long ago, and would never need to rely on wired connection equipment again.
In this strange world, a single-soldier radio that can communicate over tens of kilometers becomes extremely unstable here, only reaching one or two kilometers.

Jiang Ruixuan was unaware of Ming Yufei's thoughts. He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he could already see the scene of sweeping across the battlefield with these powerful weapons.

Ming Yufei didn't completely believe Jiang Ruixuan's words, but he was in good spirits. Following his directions, he looked at each item and listened to his explanations, feeling wave after wave of shock.

At that moment, his gaze was drawn to a uniquely designed infantry fighting vehicle.

"What's that?" Ming Yufei pointed to the infantry fighting vehicle in the distance. "Why is the cannon barrel so small? And why isn't the barrel caliber perfectly round?"

This question stumped Jiang Ruixuan.

He squinted for a long time, scratched the back of his head vigorously, and looked completely bewildered.

"Uh... this... it might be an experimental model for a new feature, I don't understand it either."

Upon hearing this, Ming Yufei's slight embarrassment at being outshone by the new recruits vanished instantly, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Well, so you've got a moment when you don't know how to brag, huh?

This small moment of pride didn't last long; it was quickly replaced by an even stronger surge of heat.

He looked down at the steel forest again, his eyes filled with longing and emotion.

The scientists in charge of equipment development in the rear were practically a bunch of warmongers.

In order to prepare for the upcoming major battle, they managed to develop dozens of new pieces of equipment in a short period of time.

Among these pieces of equipment are mature models that have been tested in actual combat, as well as new gadgets that have just been commissioned and are ready to be used as testing grounds on the battlefield.

Ming Yufei felt that his tactical thinking had been broadened.

Unfortunately, a lot of the equipment for engineers was missing from these supplies.

If engineering equipment could be updated that quickly, he could probably verify all the construction methods in his mind in another world.

Also, wouldn't it be perfectly safe to use these deadly toys to cover the engineers?

Jiang Ruixuan, who was standing to the side, became more and more excited as he watched, but the reasons for his excitement were different.

He had almost the same length of military service as Ming Yufei, but due to family misfortunes, he harbored a strong desire to earn merit and urgently needed military achievements to prove himself.

This time, such a large-scale deployment of advanced equipment was made from the rear, and their squad was assigned to the combat sequence to assist in the mission.

In his view, this was a golden opportunity.

The opportunity to make a contribution is right in front of you!
Not far away, Battalion Commander Li Jing stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes also scanning the steel torrent below, his heart churning with emotions no less than anyone else's.

This time, he, as the battalion commander, has truly had his eyes opened.

It's said that the research units in the rear are a bunch of madmen born for war. I had only seen sporadic descriptions of this in reports before, but seeing it with my own eyes today, I know it's true.

These people have essentially forged the entire nation's industrial foundation into sharp blades ready to pierce the heart of another world.

How strict are the military's secrecy regulations?
The rules are so strict that some veterans may not even know what organization they are protecting every day from the time they enlist until their discharge.

Li Jingze had heard of a legendary veteran who raised pigs for eight years in the logistics and reclamation troops, turning himself into a renowned pig-raising expert throughout the army. After retiring, he became a local livestock tycoon with a net worth of over 100 million yuan.

Some soldiers who spent their entire lives working with steel and cement entered the construction industry after retiring from the military. Relying on the willpower and skills they honed in the army, they worked their way up to become real estate tycoons.

The military is a place like this; it's a furnace that can turn iron ore full of impurities into steel plates of uniform size and indestructible strength.

But it is also a millstone, which will grind away many unnecessary human flaws.

Discipline is something ingrained in the very bones of this army.

To ensure that soldiers always keep discipline in mind, numerous regulations and strategies were developed.

Human nature is complex and self-interested.

To maintain combat effectiveness, a modern military requires not only extensive laws and military discipline, but also a core ideology; otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee combat effectiveness.

While Eastern armies in modern history were formidable fighters, they were notorious for committing crimes against humanity. In the modern world, militaries have much to learn, not only how to fight, but also why they fight.

With ideology as our shield and military discipline and tactics as our steel, we forge an inextinguishable military spirit.

This is what the military is like!
Li Jingze's thoughts were still lingering on that steel forest when he caught a glimpse of three figures out of the corner of his eye.

The leader had broad shoulders and a thick back, and his steps were steady and powerful. Even though he was wearing combat uniforms that were no different from those of ordinary soldiers, his aura of someone who had long held a high position could not be completely concealed.

Two men followed behind him. One had sharp eyes, constantly scanning his surroundings, while the other wore a smile, his eyes gentle yet profound.

It's a brigade-level command group!
Li Jing felt a chill run down his spine and quickly stepped forward, stopping in front of the three men without saluting.

These are wartime regulations.

To prevent potential decapitation strikes or attacks using bizarre targeting magic by enemies from another world, high-ranking commanders disguise themselves on the front lines, and any etiquette that could reveal their identities is strictly prohibited.

"Report: The vanguard battalion command post has been set up according to plan. Please give instructions!"

The leading commander nodded, extended his hand, and firmly shook Li Jingze's hand: "I am Wu Mudi, the commander-in-chief of this operation. Thank you for your hard work, Battalion Commander Li."

His hands were rough and strong, with thick calluses on the base of his thumb.

"I am Luo Zhen, the commander of this operation." The smiling commander next to him also extended his hand.

"Operations Staff Officer, Zhao Ke." The last person spoke succinctly, simply nodding.

After a brief introduction, Li Jing stepped aside to lead the way: "This way, please, gentlemen."

As Wu Mudi walked, he scanned the firing positions and defensive fortifications set up in the camp, and commented bluntly: "The defensive network of your camp is well-structured and organized. But it seems a bit weak in the face of extreme warfare."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingze's face flushed slightly. He stopped and spoke frankly, "Reporting to Brigade Commander Wu, this is all the resources our battalion can muster. Please give instructions on any shortcomings! We will certainly improve!"

"Haha, don't be nervous!" Wu Mudi laughed and slapped Li Jingze on the shoulder. "This is just a simple defensive force. In the future, this place will be managed as the early command and overall planning core. It's not your fault that the defense here is weak."

"We're here to deliver ammunition to you."

As he spoke, Wu Mudi pointed to a row of heavy trucks that had just come to a stop in the distance, covered with thick tarpaulins.

"See those? The logistics guys just delivered these 'big guys,' get ready to sign for them."

Li Jing looked in the direction he pointed, and his heart skipped a beat.

Wu Mudi's tone turned serious: "Battalion Commander Li, the place we are standing on will be the second nail driven into the heart of the other world. It is close to the front line, but it is within the range of the artillery support force in the rear. It is an excellent second-line forward position, but it also means that we will be the first target of the beast tide."

"We also have to take into account the electromagnetic interference in this world. We must prepare for the worst-case scenario—completely losing contact with the rear and operating independently."

“Therefore, this cannot just be an initial command post.” A near-fanatical light gleamed in Wu Mudi’s eyes. “I want you to build it to the standards of a fortress, an iron fortress that can withstand countless beast tides!”

Li Jingze felt a surge of heat rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

To build a fortress!?

What a magnificent and insane plan this is!
Seeing his excited expression, Wu Mudi nodded in satisfaction, a smile spreading across his face: "Is there anything you want to say?"

"Report! Our engineering battalion will absolutely complete the mission 100%!" Li Jing straightened his chest and roared.

“Alright!” Wu Mudi nodded emphatically, raising his chin at him. “Then what are you waiting for? Take your men and come with me to collect the goods. Let me show you what a ‘low-cost, rapid deployment defense system’ really is.”

"I'm afraid that after you finish reading this, you'll wish you had more legs."
-
Just as the frontline troops were preparing for a major operation, Deng Dakang, far away at the rear base, also obtained what he had been longing for—he received a fresh blood sample from an elf and incredibly fresh, active skin cell tissue from Gong Pengfei.

He carried a portable cryogenic storage box and hurried out of the office. Just as he turned the corner of the barracks, he stumbled upon a scene that made him slightly stunned.

He knew several of his old acquaintances.

Consultant Chen and Consultant Zhou, both with an air of otherworldly wisdom, were currently dressed in full tactical gear, practicing gun handling and tactical evasion with a serious-looking Wang Hu.

Consultant Chen, in particular, rolled sideways without noticing the stones under his feet, turning into a gourd-like shape. When he got up, he was covered in dust, and his helmet was askew.

"What new supernatural power are you two practicing?" Deng Dakang stopped and teased.

"Ahem!" Advisor Chen quickly straightened his helmet, patted the dust off his clothes, and explained in a serious tone, "Professor Deng, you flatter me. I was just reviewing tactical coordination. I can't let myself cause trouble for the soldiers after I get to the front lines."

He spoke lightly, but inwardly he was suffering.

Old Chen considered himself to be very skilled in martial arts, but no matter how good his skills were, he was afraid of encountering a magical attack of love around the corner.

If I were to be ambushed by a mage or something similar on the battlefield, I would need to fire a burst of bullets at the enemy as quickly as possible.

If he were to be killed in return, he would lose face for Wudang Mountain in another world.

"Oh? Then you'd better practice hard, or you'll hurt your back."

Deng Dakang waved cheerfully, stopped teasing them, and turned to walk towards the other end of the base.

The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a solemn expression.

After passing through three heavily guarded sentry posts, he arrived at the entrance to a biological laboratory buried deep underground.

He solemnly handed the cryogenic chamber to the assistant researcher who came to greet him.

Where is Professor Zhong Zhenguo?

"The professor is still in the core laboratory; he's been working for six hours already." The young assistant researcher's eyes also betrayed his exhaustion.

Deng Dakang glanced at the tightly closed alloy door and said in a deep voice, "Give this to Professor Zhong and tell him that the material is very new and that we hope he can solve those mysteries as soon as possible."

“I understand!” The assistant researcher nodded emphatically.

After seeing Deng Dakang off, the assistant researcher carried his suitcase and went through five disinfection procedures before finally entering the core area of ​​the laboratory.

The assistant researcher pushed open the heavy, airtight alloy door, and a unique smell mixed with disinfectant and instrument heat wafted out.

Inside the core laboratory, a huge shadowless lamp cast a cool light, making Professor Zhong Zhenguo's shadow appear long and thin.

After some time apart, this titan of the biological community had a brighter head, and the few remaining white hairs were even thinner, giving him a rather "strong" demeanor.

Clearly, his recent research work has taken a heavy toll on him.

"Teacher, Professor Deng asked me to give this to you."

Zhong Zhenguo slowly raised his head. His bloodshot eyes appeared somewhat cloudy under the light, but when he saw the portable cryogenic chamber in his assistant's hand, a terrifying light flashed in his eyes.

He snatched the box away in one swift motion, unlike someone over sixty years old.

"Where's Lao Deng? Is he hiding from me again?" Zhong Zhenguo asked without looking up as he unfastened the lock on the box.

Professor Deng said he had other work to do.

"Busy? I think he's afraid I'll ask him for a piece of research!"

Zhong Zhenguo snorted and opened the box.

The lid was opened, and cold air wafted out.

Inside lay quietly the blood sample, along with some skin and hair specimens of the elven creature he had longed for.

After examining it closely, he frowned. "That's it? Not even a single elf's recipient egg cell?" he muttered, his face full of disdain and grievance. "Oh well, I can't be too greedy for a project that I begged and pleaded for."

He complained, but his hands didn't stop; he carefully removed a very small number of specimens and placed them into the equipment...

This time, he's going to perform life cloning...

Elf life forms are very special. They have their own energy absorption and circulation system, their bones are dense and light, and their pineal gland in the brain can resonate with magical particles, giving them extraordinary power.

Not to mention their lifespan, which is extremely attractive to humans.

Because of the extreme scarcity of elf research subjects, Zhong Zhenguo had to apply to higher authorities to clone elf subjects and cultivate new species through hybridization, attempting to combine humans and elves, at least to test genetic traits and see the difference between theory and reality.

Of course, among the various applications submitted, those involving mating with humans were directly rejected.

The idea of ​​extracting female elves' egg cells for cloning was also rejected; only projects involving partial cell cloning of elves were approved.

The technology of modern cell cloning of living organisms has existed for a long time, but it has been strictly managed and regulated in recent years due to ethical and safety concerns.

Another world, elves, and long lifespan—these three buffs are key choices for sweeping all kinds of obstacles into the dustbin of history.

Then, the life experiments on cloning elves and researching the secrets of elves began.

There are several methods for biological cloning in the Earth era.

Typically, a somatic cell, usually a skin cell or embryonic cell, is selected from a donor animal, and its nucleus is extracted. This nucleus contains all the donor's genetic information. Then, an egg cell is obtained from the recipient animal, and its nucleus is removed, leaving the cytoplasm, which contains important factors that promote nuclear development.

Then, the nucleus is transplanted into the donor cell's nucleus, which is then transferred into the enucleated recipient egg cell. The two cells are then fused together using electrical stimulation or chemical methods to form a reconstructed embryo.

Then comes embryo culture and embryo transfer!
By culturing the reconstructed embryo in vitro and allowing it to develop to a certain stage, such as reaching the blastocyst stage, the embryo can be transferred into the uterus of a surrogate animal to continue developing until delivery.

The aforementioned cloning method cannot be perfectly solved due to the scarcity of the Elf Appendix and numerous other issues, but gene-level cloning is possible.

The next generation of technology uses gene recombination technology to combine specific genes with vectors, which then proliferate in host cells to obtain a large number of identical gene fragments for gene function research and the production of useful substances.

In any case, all they need is the long lifespan of elves, not the new race of elves.

Although new technologies have many uncertainties, gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 have made rapid progress in recent years. Although scientific journals, and even journals such as Life and Science, are full of fabricated papers, the feasibility of this technology is undeniable.

Once the specific cell clones of the elves are successfully developed, humanity will be able to obtain countless experimental specimens.

This is what it means to encounter difficulties and then overcome them.

If there are no fairies, create them and use them for scientific research.

Perhaps the only drawback of cloning sprites is that they require a lot of time and the progress is not particularly fast.

Unfortunately, there's only one rare, living female elf. Although various dissections have been performed on the other elves, the sample size is simply too small!

Even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice!

It's already quite good that the various factions didn't fight over the Pokémon specimens.

In another world, on a relatively high mountain nearby.

The site where ancient civilization ruins were discovered a few days ago on the mountain peak northeast of the reclamation team has now been completely transformed.

The deafening roar of bulldozers and heavy trucks transformed the area originally intended for a radar station into a massive open-air excavation site.

Was the discovery of the ruins causing a delay in the construction period?

nonexistent.

As the sons of a nation obsessed with infrastructure development, stopping construction is out of the question; they'll just be digging the foundations while simultaneously conducting archaeological excavations.

This underground complex is not large, at most the size of a villa area, but its structure is quite ingenious, resembling a personal refuge.

The archaeological and construction teams worked in two shifts, around the clock, with astonishing efficiency, and quickly turned the area upside down.

During the trip, Professor Dou Hanwen of the archaeological team was overjoyed, having made a great discovery.

He not only discovered some broken porcelain pieces and some clearly alloy-made utensils beneath the ruins, but also found a very small amount of small molecule compounds that were not completely decomposed by the high temperature in some of the accumulated melted corners, such as polytetrafluoroethylene!

Small molecule compounds also have names, such as various types of plastics.

Plastics can generally exist in powder form for hundreds of years, and polytetrafluoroethylene is a relatively stable compound. It is quite a miracle that a lot of plastic material was found in this ruin.

This proves that the level of industrial sophistication of the civilization that inhabited this place before its destruction far exceeded expectations.

Of all the discoveries, the most valuable were several stone sculptures that were full of artistic merit.

Perhaps due to bad luck, most of the upper body of the stone sculpture was completely destroyed, but the lower body of many stone sculptures miraculously retained some of its shape.

When put together, the exquisite craftsmanship and smooth lines of the stone carving become even more apparent, especially the depiction of legs that resemble those of a human but are much thicker.

Although they are quite different from humans, their artistic talent is absolutely exceptional.

"These stone legs, wow, if they hadn't been destroyed, they would have been such a beautiful work of art."

Lang Junshi stood on high ground, watching a huge crane lift a wrapped piece of relic debris onto a truck. Satisfied, he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

After this major discovery, their notorious reputation as the "bird droppings class" has finally been somewhat mitigated.

He had even begun to fantasize that if he could achieve some more merits, the shameful title of "Bird Droppings Squad" might be directly promoted to a positive one.

After all, there are precedents for this in the military; during World War II, some units even honored carrier pigeons and dolphins as heroes.

Why should those who can farm, compost, and discover ancient civilization relics not be worthy of respect and admiration?
The more Lang Junshi thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.

These days, people are used to seeing all the real heroic deeds on the internet. On the contrary, it's these "bird droppings gangs" with a bit of a morbid curiosity that get explosive publicity once they make a great contribution.

The Fierce Tigers, the Falcon Team, and the Diamond Class all have to take a backseat.

At that time, the three words "Bird Droppings Class" will be a symbol of glory! Countless new recruits will fight tooth and nail to get in!

"Squad leader! Squad leader! Stop grinning like an idiot. Professor Dou is calling you. He says he's going to assign us a new task."

With their discovery of the ruins, they are now sending even more forces here.

The bird droppings team will assist Professor Dou Hanwen in his research tasks, taking care of things like running errands, construction, and protecting the safety of the research team.

A young soldier came running up, panting, interrupting Lang Junshi's reverie.

"A new mission?" Lang Junshi stubbed out his cigarette, his spirits lifting. "Let's go!"

The two hurried to the makeshift tent, where they saw Professor Dou Hanwen wearing reading glasses, his face almost pressed against a freshly cleaned stone carving base, his expression as excited as a child.

"Young Master is here! Come quick!"

Professor Dou waved without looking up.

"The material of this stone sculpture is very special. It is not marble, but a kind of crystalline rock that we have never seen before. It has an extremely high density and would be very beautiful as a building material. Based on our deduction, there must be similar relics nearby. If we encounter such crystalline rocks in the future, we can report them. These things can be used as raw materials for art. If they were put into the Western sculpture world, it would probably cause a sensation."

There are many types of crystalline rocks, such as marble, which is an excellent decorative material.

Pure white natural marble allows for greater versatility in architectural styles, and its natural texture is superior to that of synthetic materials!

Lang Junshi went closer and saw that next to the cleaned stone carving, there were many papers with twisted, pictographic characters written on them.

"This is...writing?"

“Yes, it is very likely the script of that lost civilization.” Professor Dou Hanwen’s voice trembled slightly as he pointed to a line of incomplete alien script. “This should be an inscription from a master sculptor or a sculpting factory, similar to sculptures on Earth! The stone carvings we have discovered all have different inscriptions on the bottom.”

"Hiss... Professor Dou, can we find the complete writing system of this lost civilization in this ruin?"

"It's too difficult. This civilization is very advanced. Some of their storage facilities have long since moved beyond stone slabs and stone materials, and have adopted more advanced storage technologies." Dou Hanwen adjusted his glasses, rubbed his tired eyes, and then looked at Lang Junshi. "Young Lang, this time you'll have to accompany this old man around the area as much as possible, and thoroughly explore the places nearby that might contain ancient ruins."

"Professor, wherever you say we'll go, we'll go!"

"well!"

"Squad leader, squad leader, time to eat! Time to eat!"

"Hey." Lang Junshi smiled and looked at Professor Dou: "Professor, how about we grab a bite to eat first!"

"it is good!"
-
The extreme winds of this other world seem to have no end in sight.

Since humans defeated the Scourge army, the snowfall has decreased, but the winter winds remain strong.

The wind carried fine snowflakes, making it necessary to wear glasses to see.

The weather has been so bad that there haven't been many good days in months. While such harsh conditions make solar energy and similar technologies impossible, wind resources are quite abundant.

Zhao Chong squinted as he faced the wind and snow.

The wind howled mournfully, carrying tiny ice crystals that pelted against the goggles with a soft, crackling sound.

Not far away, the engineering team's soldiers were braving the scorching weather to secure a brand-new small multi-unit wind turbine generator to its base.

This is the base they chose, and these structures were built primarily to guard against potential undead calamities in the surrounding area.

"Captain, won't these new guys freeze into ice blocks again after installation?" Little Zhou, who was standing next to him, tucked his neck into his collar and leaned against a boulder that could block the wind, and asked loudly.

The wind is too strong; you can't be heard unless you shout.

"It's hard to say." Zhao Chong's voice was steady. "The logistics department said that this batch is a specially made polar model, with an added active de-icing module and different materials. If it freezes again, the people from the Academy of Engineering will have to come and eat ice with us."

The first batch of wind turbines transported earlier did not perform well after installation. This was because the design only considered corrosion prevention, and as a result, in the extremely cold weather, the blades and bearings were all frozen solid, turning into a few immobile iron rods, which caused considerable distress to the power resources engineers.

Xiao Zhou chuckled, rubbing his hands, which were red from the cold: "That's great, let them experience the feeling of freezing too. I heard the Bird Droppings Squad dug up some treasure, ancient ruins and precious stones, they'll probably be featured in our pioneers' newspaper soon, they're really making a name for themselves. We're here starving while they're digging for treasure, what a life..."

"Stop being so glib." Zhao Chong glanced at him. "That wasn't luck. They risked their lives to find the way. Besides, our work isn't bad either."

Xiao Zhou has been staying here for a few days and wants to go explore the mission.

My adventurous spirit is running high, and I'm eager for battle!

Xiao Zhou had only complained a little, but upon hearing this, he immediately straightened his back: "That's right! Without us guarding this line, even if they dig up a gold mine and open up a sea outlet, they won't be able to transport it back!"

"Captain! Xiao Zhou! Dinner's ready! The food'll get cold if you don't come soon!" The cook shouted at the canteen entrance in the distance.

"Come on, let's get some food! If you're not enthusiastic about getting food, you're out of your mind!"

Today's meal was still mainly the otherworldly seafood set meal, but there were many bright green vegetables on the plates, which made everyone's eyes light up.

Zhao Chong picked up a piece of green vegetable with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Sweet and crisp.

The flavor of the vegetables neutralizes the fishy smell and canned taste of the fish.

After nearly two months of hard work, the first batch of vegetables in the greenhouse has finally achieved a stable supply. In addition to the reserve vegetables from the modern world, the soldiers on the front lines have also begun to have a large number of vegetables grown in the other world on their plates.

The vegetables grown in this other world taste better, and the atmosphere in the cafeteria is noticeably more lively than usual.

Just like today, many soldiers were eating heartily while discussing the newly arrived vegetables, and their morale was visibly rising.

After eating and drinking his fill, Zhao Chong did not immediately go back to rest. Instead, he stood at the edge of the camp and looked towards the distant horizon.

Not long after, a deep rumble came from the wind and snow, and then a convoy of vehicles rushed out from the snowstorm!
"The 100-ton giant transport vehicle is here!"

"Ok!"

After the construction troops worked day and night, the temporary highway that bypassed the Arctic ice cap and was more than 500 kilometers long was finally completed.

This means that humanity's logistical transportation capabilities in this world have reached a whole new level. When heading to the far north to extract oil, some transport teams will need to bring back their previous spoils for research.

One after another, heavy trucks, like steel behemoths, slowly drove into the camp and parked in the designated area, guided by soldiers.

The snow kicked up by the tires carried an unstoppable force.

"I wonder how much good stuff they brought this time!" Xiao Zhou's eyes lit up as he looked at the huge containers loaded on the truck.

According to the plan, some of these supplies were intended for the camp, while the rest were to be transported to the southernmost savage tribes so that they could survive normally.

A smile appeared on Zhao Chong's face.

The arrival of large-scale equipment signifies the beginning of comprehensive exploration and indicates that humanity will take deeper root on this land.
