Chapter 17: The Battle of the Frozen Lake
The two were more like a dueling at an agreed time, and in all fairness, Ringer thought it was pedantic. But since they have all made their intentions above board, let's do it to the end, don't do some sneaky things, and everything is on the surface.
Ringer is not afraid of the other party escaping, and Schunard also knows the relevant regulations, once he escapes, the matter is not limited to himself, it will inevitably affect his family, and he also understands the difference between beheading and the nine clans.
As far as Ringer observed, Schunard valued his family very much, and would not run away alone and leave it aside. In that case, give the other party a month to get the final thing done.
After sending off the Schunards, Ringer and the female guide cleaned up the dishes together, as for the leftover leftovers, there was no need to worry, although it was not as luxurious as sending the base to a gaseous planet with garbage, but as far as the current human federation was concerned, a modern decomposition factory was not difficult at all.
Naturally, there will be no such thing as making a planet out of garbage for a purpose, it is too wasteful to do this with a planet similar to the Earth, and it is even more impossible to do so with moon-like moons, which are not gravitational enough, and this will only cause space junk.
As for launching to a gas planet like the Gestapo, the reason why the Human Confederation did not do this, Ringer estimates that it is a matter of cost, and there are too many humans on a planet like Ishiva, if it is the same as the base, it is estimated that the nearby gas planets will produce garbage storms, as we all know, the climate change of gas planets is very drastic.
I believe that no one wants to use a telescope to make space observations and see high-speed hurricanes dancing with garbage on gaseous planets, simply put, human society can't do this because there are too many people, so too much garbage is produced.
Before the big war, Ringer chose to relax and did not do impromptu stuffing. Because of the environment in which he grew up, he chose to visit places like botanical gardens and museums to see the unique creatures of the planet Ihiva.
First of all, the most powerful animal of the planet Ikhva, like a snake. The most powerful animal in the shallow waters, something like a large lobster, is of course much larger. Ringer thought it should at least taste good.
Mammals, on the contrary, are not very strong, but the northern ice sheet is the territory of some mammals. But truth be told, mammals will sooner or later play to their strengths and bring other species of animals under their rule.
But that's just a normal evolution, and now that humans have taken over here, things will change. For this planet, humans are accidental. When this unexpected factor appears, the normal survival of the fittest may not appear, and when an animal is about to die, humans may come to the rescue.
Especially now that the Confederate environmental organization is so strong, if it were not for the fact that it did not dare to use too dangerous energy sources on civilian facilities, it is estimated that the coal mines and oil on the planet Ishiva would not be extracted, as Ringer can see from the solar facilities that can be seen everywhere.
"Xiao Ping, what do you think of your life now?" Ringer, who came out of the biology hall, took the girl's hand and asked with a smile.
"I think it's good! Green" Ye Xiaoping raised his head and said with a smile, "Don't you think my hometown is beautiful?" ”
"It's beautiful! I'm asking how you feel about the policies of the Confederate government. Ringer felt that he was doing useless work, this girl had just entered college, and she could observe several problems in society.
At least for now, the planet occupied by humans and the current technology are enough to make most people feel that life is not bad. Although the wealth of the wealthy class has now begun to be measured in trillions, ordinary people do not lack basic needs.
With such a comfortable environment, it is no wonder that Schunard is unwilling to obey the call to go back and choose to leave, thinking that this Ringer forced himself not to continue thinking about it, otherwise he would start to compare the base and the living environment here like Schunard.
"I'm going to have the Northern Ice Sheet in a few days, and I hope you can help clean up the hut I rented before I come back." Ringer sighed and pleaded, "If you don't come back in a week, it may be that I have already left on the ship." ”
"The northern ice cap? It's the coldest place on the planet, and I've heard that temperatures of minus 100 degrees have been detected, so do you want to go on an expedition too? It's dangerous over there, so don't go. When Ye Xiaopin heard the words of some concern, she always felt that there was something in Ringer's words.
"How do you have to feel it, the coldest place on the habitable planet, otherwise this trip is meaningless." Ringer smiled very lightly, didn't seem to see it as a problem, and thanked, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time, and if time permits, I'll let you know before the trip is over." ”
Arrive at the nearest city of the northern ice sheet, and then there is a world of ice and snow thousands of kilometers ahead, listen to the people of this planet, the ice sheet has not actually grown to the limit, I don't know what the limit is like, will it cover the entire Ihiva star?
"Fifteen hundred kilometers in a straight line is the cold pole of this planet, and the local magnetic field is also very active, and it is difficult for many equipment to arrive!" Ringer finally set his sights on a frozen lake and sent the coordinates out, which Schunard was sure to receive.
Putting on the modular armor, the Odin system instantly wrapped Ringer's body after activation, and Ringer threw his right hand back, and the pitch-black hooded cloak unfolded in mid-air and then slowly fell, and four metal chains caught the cloak. Putting away the empty suitcase, Ringer disappeared into the night.
Even if he lived in a cold environment for a long time, Ringer felt that the cold through his bones was somewhat unacceptable. Some people say that after minus 50 degrees, one degree of cold is a huge change. Walking between the ice and snow, Ringer already knew that the temperature had dropped to minus sixty, and he couldn't even feel where the cold was coming from, as if it appeared out of thin air.
Five days later, Ringer arrived at his destination and set up several jammers to block the signal, so that even if there were weather satellites passing by in the sky, they would not be able to detect anything unusual here.
I wanted to cut through a block of ice and wait for Schunard to come to the door, but I haven't acted on it yet. A figure appeared from a distance, it was Schunard, as tall as a javelin, his steps were calm and confident, and even the snowflakes blown by the cold wind hit his eyes, and his expression did not change in the slightest.
Ringer also stepped out, watching as Hunnard drew closer and closer, and finally, stopping above the mirror-like icy lake, the two facing each other at a distance, Schunard holding a long sword with a cross handle, drawing the sword and shining silver, with a lightning bolt mark on it.
Touch! Shonard, who drew his long sword, stuck his sword in the icy lake in front of him, and lifted the hood with both hands, and Ringer watched it all quietly, and under the cloak, the metal chain head loomed.
In an instant, as if the distance did not exist, the two collided together, and the speed of attacking each other was simply dazzling. The Battle of the Ice Lake broke out in an instant.
