Steel torrents pioneering a different world

Chapter 5: The Otherworld Intelligence Gathering and Research Team! Excitement from all regions (Please continue reading, please recommend!)

"Xiao Sun, has the person in charge of this matter been confirmed?"

"This is the list of personnel we just compiled! The person in charge is Mr. Li Weiguo, and the list of scientific personnel has also been released."

One of the advisors produced a handwritten list of experts.

"Oh, it's Xiao Li. He's quite experienced in handling these kinds of things! His coordination of this operation is reasonable. Tell him he can report directly to me in case of emergencies!"

"I only ask one thing: the safety of the people must be guaranteed! If things cannot be done, try to destroy the time portal, but we must never let it get out of control."

"Yes, I will definitely report it properly!"

Twenty-two hours after the order was issued.

Zhurihe Grand Hotel!

Lin Li lay in bed, observing what was happening in another place through the God's-eye view of the time portal.

In just 36 hours, the place where the time portal was discovered has changed dramatically.

Military civil engineering vehicles have been deployed around the area, and a large number of things that make Lin Li's mouth water are also set up around the area.

Soldiers in full-body protective suits completely surrounded the portal.

If dangerous alien creatures emerge from the portal, any carbon-based life form with flesh and blood will be the first to face attacks from weapons of various sizes and calibers.

Lin Li even saw glimpses of some legendary energy weapons.

In addition to short-range firepower spread over hundreds of meters, heavy firepower equipment has been deployed over a radius of tens of kilometers.

In some regions, long-range artillery pieces equipped with "all-nitrogen anionic salt" warheads are in a state of readiness to be activated.

"After preparing for so long, it's going to be really fun when we take action, right?"

Lin Li resisted the urge to immediately send his projection clone down, deciding to act as the system's old man for now.

After confirming there was no movement near the time portal, I took out my phone and happily played the "original series" game!
Dozens of kilometers away.

Inside the makeshift command post at Zhurihe.

As a large number of people from different positions gathered again, the air was filled with the smell of tobacco, sweat, and an indescribable excitement.

The general's star on the military representative's shoulder gleamed under the lights.

The elites who were urgently and secretly dispatched here from various departments had different expressions, some with furrowed brows, others with gleaming eyes.

The leading figures in the scientific community, drawn from top universities, also held their breath in suspense.

All eyes were focused on Li Weiguo, the person in charge of the operation.

At that moment, Li Weiguo was on the phone with his superior.

A few minutes later, Li Weiguo hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

He looked around at everyone and said in a steady and powerful voice, "Comrades, the higher command has issued the latest instructions: the exploration of the space-time gate has been officially authorized."

boom!
The oppressive atmosphere was instantly ignited!

"Great!"

"I've finally waited for this moment!"

After a brief commotion, Li Weiguo raised his hand and gestured for silence, and the scene returned to quiet.

"Gentlemen, this is the intelligence we have gathered through visual observation over the past few dozen hours. Let's brainstorm and share our compiled plans."

The other side of the portal, an alternate world: Visually, it's a forest and snowfield, with a cold climate. No living beings or creatures have been found so far. Simple testing confirms that equipment cannot be deployed into the portal!
Environmental changes around the spacetime portal: None; no microscopic energy aggregation detected… Energy structure around the spacetime portal: Unresolved; various detection instruments confirmed it to be in an energy-absorbing state; various active scientific instruments could not obtain effective feedback…

As each department reviewed the analyzed data, some people began to have their own thoughts begin to stir.

Exploring the portal to another dimension is a huge undertaking, and those present have already put together many plans. However, there has been considerable controversy surrounding the selection of executors for some of these plans.

The appearance of a time portal, destined to change the course of the world, represents the future of humanity in the modern world and is of great significance.

At this moment, whether they are young soldiers or older commanders, they all yearn to make contributions and achieve great things.

The basic and applied sciences, theoretical sciences, biological sciences, and many other academic fields are all eager to discover something from this other world...

That's why who goes first to carry out the mission became the most hotly debated issue!
As the discussion began, a scientist with a refined demeanor and wearing gold-rimmed glasses spoke first.

"Commander-in-Chief Li, the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences has an unshirkable responsibility! In the past few dozen hours, we have assembled the country's top space physics investigation team overnight. We have collected a large amount of data and are ready to conduct precise detection of the spacetime portal itself and its surrounding environment at any time!"

A slightly thin, but exceptionally sharp-eyed middle-aged man beside him continued, "Experts from the Language Department and the Ancient Civilization Research Center of Yuanmingyuan Vocational College are willing to take on the important task of conducting preliminary assessments, cultural interpretations, and even attempting exchanges with possible civilizations in other worlds!"

"Wudaokou Vocational College will provide comprehensive scientific research support and logistical support, including but not limited to environmental analysis, sample testing, and any special equipment that may be used!" a younger, more energetic representative announced loudly.

"The military research team, medical team, and microbiology research team of the Central Army National Defense University are also ready!"

Whether they were leading cutting-edge science or scientists responsible for the military field, they were all enthusiastic and clearly articulated their requests for missions.

While the scientific community remained relatively mild, the atmosphere within the military was rather tense.

"Our brigade is always ready! We are willing to take the lead in exploration operations, paving the way for subsequent troops!"

Commander Man suddenly stood up and said in a loud, booming voice.

His voice was loud, and his dark face, tanned from years of sun exposure, flushed with excitement.

"Commander Man, your brigade is not suitable."

A serious-looking veteran soldier chuckled in a deep voice, “Our Central War unit happens to have another rotation exercise with its elite troops. We have the best equipment and the fastest response, so we should be in charge of the first round of exploration. A brigade of troops will not delay any defense work in the capital!”

"Old Zhou, you're wrong about that."

A burly soldier with an even louder voice immediately retorted, "This is our Northern War territory! The portal appeared in our defense zone, so it's only right that we, the Northern War, should take the lead!"

"What do you mean 'your territory'? That's narrow-minded! This is the sacred and indivisible territory of our great motherland, the common home of our people!"

An officer with a heavy southern accent, dark skin, and a very lean and capable appearance also stood up.

He said emotionally, "Report! If you ask me, our Southern War troops have just arrived here from thousands of miles away to participate in the exercise, and the time portal has appeared precisely in front of our soldiers. What is this? This is destiny! The time portal has chosen our Southern War! Moreover, according to the tradition of the troops, whoever discovers it first gets the mission first."

"Damn it! Fate my ass! Why are you indulging in feudal superstition? You southerners don't consider combat factors at all. You're hundreds of thousands of miles away, and every time you move troops, the logistics supply lines are stretched so long, it's such a hassle!"

"Report, if you ask me, our Central War unit is here by chance. As long as we give the order, our troops can assemble the fastest, and our equipment is best suited to the local environment. Naturally, we should be the vanguard!"

The Chinese side was equally defiant, their spittle practically splattering onto the opponent's face.

“You have a heavy responsibility to defend the capital, so it is not advisable to act rashly,” the officer from the Southern War retorted.

"We only need to deploy one brigade in the Central War Zone; we're very confident. If you ask me, you in the South should be keeping a closer eye on things. The South hasn't been very peaceful lately; what if something happens?"

"Tch! Those few clowns in the South China Sea? They don't need our main force!"

We can easily pull out a combined arms brigade... no, half a combined arms brigade, and we can take them down and make them obedient!

Please entrust the initial battle to our Southern Command! We guarantee we will live up to our mission and complete it successfully!

"Report! This time portal has appeared within our Northern War territory. Logically and morally, we should be the ones to handle this..."
