Steel torrents pioneering a different world

Chapter 9: The Vanguard Team's First Arrival in Another World! (Please read on and add to your favorites!)
Near the time portal!
The time portal inside the building, which was originally used for urban street fighting simulations, has been completely transformed!
The original wasteland style has been transformed into a fully enclosed style.

Externally, the military stated that they would make use of the waste and transform the site into a post-production and supply base.

In fact, a huge change has already taken place inside!

This day...

Having completed his quarantine, Zhao Chong, along with his elite special forces comrades, numerous integrated combat troops who would be brought in the second batch to explore the time portal, and many advance teams of scientific expeditions, gathered again, silently awaiting instructions from their superiors.

The area outside the training building had been turned into a temporary drill ground. Li Weiguo stood at the very front of the line, his silver hairs fluttering in the wind.

His steady gaze swept over the hundreds of elites selected by the nation. They were all transferred from various war zones, and many of them were seasoned veterans who had participated in actual combat.

After scanning everyone, Li Weiguo's gaze fell on Zhao Chong's team.

"Captain Zhao Chong!"

"To!"

"You are the vanguard in this mission!"

"Our sole objective is to protect the interdimensional exploration team and make initial explorations of the unknown world beyond that door, while ensuring our own safety!"

He paused, his tone becoming even more serious: "Are you confident you can complete the mission?"

Zhao Chong saluted: "Mission accomplished!"

Li Weiguo slowly raised his hand and gave a standard military salute to Zhao Chong and the equally elite special forces members beside him.

They were the first warriors to set foot in another world, highly skilled advance team members with numerous and demanding missions.

If they can transmit various basic signals back from the other world, then the second batch of infrastructure personnel, combat personnel, logistics and scientific expedition team members will enter, and more troops will rely on their exploration missions to carry out more pioneering tasks.

It can be said that from the moment Zhao Chong and his team entered the other world, regardless of success or failure, life or death, they will have their own page in the future history books.

They will also bring honor to their ancestors, and their family genealogy will be published separately!

Seeing the soldiers' high spirits, Li Weiguo turned to Su Mingjin, as well as the second batch, including Li Jingze and others who belonged to Commander Man.

If Lin Li were here, he would recognize Su Mingjin as the middle-aged policewoman who disguised herself as a local police officer to patrol the hotel last time.

She was also the intelligence chief for this interdimensional operation team, but unfortunately, because she was a non-combatant, she would have to wait until later to enter the other world.

Seeing the determination in their eyes, Li Weiguo's eyes held a hint of expectation: "Team Leader Su, Battalion Commander Li, after the soldiers are confirmed to be safe and whether they can return to their current location, the rest will be up to you!"

Su Mingjin and Li Jing both nodded.

Su Mingjin actually wanted to explore the other world with Zhao Chong for the first time, but her superiors valued her highly and she could only enter after their safety was confirmed.

Seeing that it was time, Li Weiguo instructed, "Comrades, let's set off! For this test, the highest principle should be to proceed with caution."

"Make sure you return safely!"

Zhao Chong, along with special operations soldiers, provided cover for several military researchers to salute.

The group, along with Commander Man and others, watched as Zhao Chong led his team, protecting three combat-capable members of the scientific expedition team, driving snowmobiles and carrying various combat weapons, multi-functional robots, sophisticated detection equipment, and enough supplies to sustain them for a month, into the space-time portal that emitted a faint blue light.

As Zhao Chong and his team traveled to the other world, highly sensitive detectors, photoelectric devices, microscopic device detectors, and recording equipment on the periphery were activated, recording the scene of Zhao Chong's team entering the other world.

"The optoelectronic equipment is still the same as before, exhibiting distortion and warping!"

"The portal is once again absorbing microscopic matter from the air!"

"Huh, the time portal has undergone a huge change, what is this...?"

Under the observation of scientific instruments, the time portal, which appeared normal to the naked eye, now seemed to have turned into a vacuum cleaner, sucking in nearby microscopic matter as if it were a bottomless pit. The crowd surrounding the time portal felt nothing, but the equipment clearly recorded everything.

"After people went inside, the space-time portal underwent a new change, completely different from when the military dogs entered. Is this an energy absorption reaction of the black hole?"

Since the appearance of the time portal, the top scientific research team at the University of Tokyo has conducted countless careful explorations of it.

Unfortunately, the result was not as expected.

The world behind the door is isolated from all known physical rules.

The radio control equipment, once it attempts to connect to the instruments on the other side of the other world, will have its signal instantly cut off, as if it had vanished into thin air.

Electronic products seem to be subject to some kind of restriction in this other world, unable to make decisions and act autonomously.

Humanity has had to abandon the possibility of exploring other worlds through radio remote control, cable manipulation, AI intelligent robots, and other means.

Live military dogs were then deployed, along with well-trained birds, to conduct body detection.

Unfortunately, while the deployment of live animals such as military dogs was successful, they could not be quickly returned to the real world.

When modern human exploration methods failed, reliable teams began to formulate orders for human physical exploration based on the vast, snow-covered, and icy landscapes observed from the location of the time portal.

When Zhao Chong's team and other combat-ready scientific expedition members carried out their missions, they were the ones who signed their wills.

They need to investigate the composition of the air in the other world, whether the military dogs are dead, and why the robots went out of control after entering the other world!

To explore whether life can survive in another world, and whether that world is deadly toxic to life on Earth!
Besides these, there are also the basic physical phenomena of the other world, and how different they are from our own world.

While humans are curious about other worlds, they are also extremely wary of them.

In recent days, the engineering corps affiliated with the University of Tokyo has been working almost non-stop.

The engineering corps worked day and night, operating various types of heavy engineering machinery.

They conducted a thorough cleaning and environmental renovation of the area near the time portal that stands inside the building.

For example, the concrete load-bearing columns that originally obstructed passage were redesigned and specially reinforced.

In front of the five-meter-high and five-meter-wide portal, there are no longer any obstructive man-made obstacles, and the view is now wide open.

Humanity harbors great concern about the unknown viruses or other unpredictable dangerous substances that may lurk on the other side of the time portal.

To ensure everything goes smoothly, this originally ordinary building has been quickly enclosed and renovated.

Several modern, fully enclosed armed isolation rooms have been built inside.

Key locations are also equipped with densely packed fire positions consisting of heavy machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, and remote weapon stations.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this place is located deep in the remote grasslands.

However, given Dongda's terrifying industrial manufacturing capabilities, they could easily build an impregnable steel fortress on this barren land in a very short time with just a single order.

The title of "infrastructure maniac" is well-deserved.

The higher authorities have even made a preliminary decision to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction here under the guise of "building a future battlefield simulation training ground".

Future plans even include building several small city clusters as a strategic camouflage and forward base.

Commander Man stood outside the cordon, watching with a complex expression as the special forces unit, which was not under his command, slowly walked into the portal, their figures gradually being swallowed by the eerie light.

He took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.
