Steel torrents pioneering a different world

No one laughed at him, because everyone's expression was similar to his—speechless with shock.

They are young, high-achieving individuals who have imagined countless possible futures filled with hardship.

But what they saw before them completely shattered all their understanding of the real world.

"Check your equipment and put on your protective suits and winter coats."

Li Jingze's voice broke the shock and silence of the crowd.

No one asked any more questions, and everyone silently took the heavy equipment from the staff next to them.

The moment the protective mask was fastened, breathing became clearly audible, and vision narrowed, as if isolated from the outside world.

"Remember, don't make a fuss. No matter what you see, stay calm. You represent Institute 207, and your director said not to lose face."

"Let's go!"

Qin Longlong followed the group and stepped into the time portal.

An indescribable tearing sensation came from all directions, as if every cell in my body was being stretched, crushed, and then reassembled. The scene before me turned into a chaotic blur of colors, and the concepts of time and space completely vanished at that moment.

The process is very short, it may only take a second, or it may take a century.

When he felt a solid touch under his feet, Qin Longlong suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath.

The dizziness subsided like a receding tide, and he immediately checked his body. Apart from a slightly rapid heartbeat, he was fine.

The others gradually regained their footing, their expressions behind their masks carrying a hint of relief at surviving a disaster.

"Welcome to the Otherworld Pioneers' Camp, everyone."

Li Jingze's voice came from ahead; he was already used to this kind of travel.

Qin Longlong raised his head and began to look around.

They looked around and found themselves surrounded by reinforced concrete.

The glaring lights illuminated the surrounding area as if it were daytime.

"Awesome! Boss, is there really a dragon here?" Senior Brother Li's voice trembled with excitement.

"That's right, but the organization hasn't discovered it yet."

Li Jing nodded, looking around with a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or nostalgia).

"Those seemingly unrelated tasks the research institute assigned you before were all for today. Your brilliant ideas need to be applied in this other world as soon as possible. Everyone, follow me!"

On the way to the nearby airport warehouse, Li Jingze saw a large crowd gathered.

"What's going on with all those people over there?"

Li Jing glanced at it, his lips twitching. "The debate over the uses of magic and science. You guys familiarize yourselves with the camp first, don't ask about anything else! It'll only distract you!"

"All right!"

As the vehicle drove by, Qin Longlong and the others craned their necks to look and discovered two Taoist priests busily working with Seven Star Swords in their hands.

Several older men, wearing thick glasses and clearly scholars, were gathered around, taking notes.

Not far away, they also saw many piles of human bones emitting a faint blue light!

It looks really creepy!
Only after the car drove away did they reluctantly withdraw their curious gaze.

When everyone was led to a somewhat rudimentary hangar, they saw rows of aircraft of various shapes and sizes neatly parked. Qin Longlong's gaze was drawn to a scene not far away.

Several ground crew members were pushing a crudely designed gyroplane out on duty.

That thing is a rapid infiltration aircraft used by special forces. It can carry three fully armed soldiers to quickly launch an aerial assault and is jokingly called an "airborne three-wheeler".

But at this moment, on the simple fuselage of this three-wheeled vehicle, several brackets for mounting machine guns and submachine guns were welded together with steel plates, and long ammunition belts were hanging next to it, exuding a fierce aura of rudimentary steelmaking.

His eyelids twitched at the sight; the modification was so unrestrained, exuding the atmosphere of a big cat's house.

"That three-wheeled vehicle looks so similar to the proposal I put forward before. I remember I suggested installing a Gatling gun, right?" At the time, the higher-ups asked them to come up with some creative ideas, saying that it would be used to unleash maximum firepower in the air.

He suggested installing Gatling guns on three-wheeled motorcycles in the air, and even said, "A Gatling gun can rotate 3,600 times! Even gods would change their faces when they see it!"

Thinking about this, Qin Longlong felt very proud.

"The propeller lift of a three-wheeled vehicle can't keep up with the recoil of a Gatling gun," Li Jing said with a smile.

"Modifying a machine gun on an aerial tricycle wasn't your idea; it was a modification plan proposed by the soldiers who came to participate in the mission. The soldiers' ingenious ideas are great, but these are ultimately emergency measures. We're not like the Russians, who just make do with what we have!"

"So comrades, your research and development task is very arduous."

"Boss," Qin Longlong couldn't help but ask, "with so many weapons hastily installed on these three-wheeled vehicles, isn't this world a bit unsafe?"

“Your observation is very keen.” Li Jingze gave him an approving look. “However, it’s not that it’s unsafe, it’s that it’s extremely annoying. This thing is one of our lowest-cost close-range airspace clearance methods, but its range of operation is limited to a few kilometers around the base.”

"Only a few kilometers?" Senior Brother Wang asked.

"The range of the three-wheeled motorcycle is very long and its endurance is also good, so why is it only used in such a small area?"

This is indeed illogical. Using a drone capable of long-range infiltration to patrol your doorstep is like using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito.
Li Jingze glanced at the sky, a mysterious smile appearing on his face: "You'll find out soon enough."

Twenty minutes later, they found out.

Looking at the snowflakes swirling in the wind outside the hangar, the bone-chilling cold penetrated through the thick winter clothing, causing everyone who had just arrived in this world to shiver.

Looking out, the world was a vast expanse of white, with the raging wind and snow reducing visibility to less than two hundred meters.

Even more terrifying was the indescribable chill that accompanied the snowstorm, as if countless eyes, filled with piercing malice, were staring intently at them from within the thick, impenetrable darkness and snow!

"Will we be conducting research in this kind of environment from now on?"

"Yes! If you regret it, you can go back to the modern world and clean toilets in the logistics department!"

"I think I'll stay here then. I'm not afraid of the cold anyway!"

"Me too!"

Despite not being cold, Zhang, a senior colleague from the south, still shivered uncontrollably while getting used to the work environment.

Fortunately, the indoor environment was good, and Senior Brother Zhang could still bear it.

If he can't even get past the first hurdle, then he really has to go back to the modern world!

After getting a basic understanding of the various locations and memorizing military defense agreements, Qin Longlong heard that there would be live-fire target practice and various military training exercises, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

The modern world!

"Mr. Li, these are the latest data. Would you like me to read them to you?"

Li Weiguo shook his head: "I didn't stay up late yesterday, no need to be so attentive!"

He took the documents from Xiao Wang and began to examine them carefully.

To date, the first phase of the camp construction in the other world has been completed, regardless of cost.

The other world already has a combined arms combat force stationed there, two special reconnaissance battalions, and more than 1500 non-combat personnel.

As our understanding of the other world deepens, a third batch of researchers, namely more specialized weapons research teams, has entered.

The advance team already has enough supplies for these several thousand people for eight months. More supplies are being urgently transported!

As planned, the troops began clearing and exploring an area within a 50-kilometer radius, and will also conduct more detailed reconnaissance of the forest belt and the discovered savage tribe!

"We must do a good job of commending the two Taoist priests, and at the same time, we should expedite the invitation of Taoist priests from other schools."

"Mr. Li, should we invite the Buddhist community?"

“The Buddhist sect,” Li Weiguo smiled. “Let the professionals analyze it, and find a truly accomplished monk in seclusion.”

"Ok!"
