What threat did these ordinary icebergs pose to the Atlanteans? This is a question that Tianxiang pondered but could not get any answers.

The Sea Tribes are highly intelligent creatures whose history is far older than that of humans. Although it is not known when the specific civilization was born, in any case, the precipitation time of the Atlantean civilization must be deeper than that of the humans evolved by the ancient apes later. It has played an immeasurable role in the exhibition of science and technology. Therefore, without absolute certainty, it is impossible for Tianxiang to easily declare war on the other side. Even if they have clearly expressed their hostile stance towards humanity. For humans, there are many threats in nature. War, hunger, disease...... Even if it is a sudden death due to a chance accident one day, it is a way to threaten. However, on the whole, the threat that can be made to be felt by a clan leader is nothing more than a specific purpose.

There are not many things that can threaten the Atlanteans in this world. What's more, the Master has specifically pointed out that a certain object hidden in the iceberg seems to possess this absolute power. "The enemy of your enemy is your friend." According to this generational logic, Tianxiang couldn't help but be full of interest in his upcoming operation. If you can get the help of this "threat", make it your own capital against the Sea Clan. It's not a beautiful thing. However, there is a double opposite to everything. Especially a race like the Atlanteans, who are cunning to a few points, cannot easily put their weaknesses in the hands of the enemy. Although, he did not clearly express his antipathy and hatred for them. Why, then, would the Venerable One entrust such a contemplative task to himself? Could it be that the Sea Clan really trusts themselves so much? Is there really an absolute certainty that you will not profit from it and betray?

This is obviously impossible. Tianxiang has not forgotten the threatening words of the other party when he left the bottom of the sea.

In this way, the remaining choices are free. First, the Atlanteans were absolutely sure that they would be able to stop their rebellion "in time" before they could find out the truth. Keep all your hard work for yourself.

Second, the dragons were nothing more than consumables in the eyes of the Atlanteans. Hidden in the iceberg can be very lethal to humans. All the Sea Folk want is for humans to be used as tools to eliminate threats for them. As for the huge casualties arising from this, for them there is no meaning at all. It's like the ancient domestic pig, after dedicating all the skin, flesh and bones of the body to human beings for food. What he got was just the title of "stupid pig". No matter what the result is, he doesn't want to be seen by Tianxiang. But either way, it's an opportunity. An opportunity that is definitely worth trying. No matter how big the loss is, Tianxiang insists on giving it a try. Because he really doesn't want to become a puppet under the rule of other races. A large number of captured aliens were taken back to the northern capital. The long human dragon runs through the entire thick underground passage. On the hunting faces of these Russian descendants, there is hardly any trace of sadness. On the contrary, thanks to the tireless efforts of a large number of overseers, they have come to believe that there is plenty of food waiting for them on the other side of the mountains. The climate there is warmer. There are also many ground insects that can be eaten. As long as you put in a certain amount of labor, you can get an extremely happy life. What's more, his original patriarch Yuna has joined the dragon clan and become one of the many upper-level managers. With her, she has the corresponding support.

Qin Guang needed a lot of labor. This is a request that he repeatedly mentioned in his secret conversations with Tianxiang. Tianxiang naturally will not object. In this way, the 300,000 slaves sent out of Moscow all became the objects of Qin Guang's control. As for whether Qin Guang, who was full of whimsical ideas, wanted to experiment with these poor people or bury them in the ground as fertilizer, it was his own business. Tianxiang didn't want to ask, and he didn't bother to ask. …。

Contrary to the route traveled by slaves. Following the 2nd Division in Xia and Dong and the 4th Division in Guo Bin, Shang Jianming's 1st Combat Division became the third elite unit to leave Longcheng. Arriving in Moscow entirely empty, they will become one of the most useful armies in Tianxiang's hands. The snow-capped ice fields are a striking feature on this side of the city. Especially on winter and summer nights, the aurora borealis floats through the sky with fantastic colors that fascinate everyone who sees it. Because of this, the aliens have given this ice field a poetic name---- Dream Ice Field.

Today, this ice field has pushed the whiteness and beauty of what it once was. From the air, there are black dots all over it, and it turns into a messy garbage dump. Only when you lower the height and look closely at the ground, you will be surprised to see that everything is a special area created by man. Fortifications.

Huge electric wheel saws cut smooth thin lines through the ice. Divide it into neat ice bricks. According to the designated area, it is stacked into several wide and thick tunnels through the ice field. The crevices of the ice bricks are filled with shaved ice chips and water, making them an excellent adhesive comparable to cement. Ice is a very common thing here. With the strength, it can transform into anything you want. Fixed gun mount walls, thick individual bunkers, low firing points that are flat in appearance but in fact capable of firing in all directions, and electric cannon firing positions that are hidden in the shadows with only tiny observation holes。。。。。。

All of them are masterpieces of ice. From Moscow to the iceberg on the ice field barrier, Tianxiang has set up three lines of defense. With Shang Jianming as the first combat division as the main force, together with some alien forces loyal to Yuna, they became the combat force that filled it. This is nothing more than a possible preventive effect for the next step!

In addition to the defensive line, the section along the way from Moscow to the fortress of the city, after the departure of the latter group of prisoners, was at the request of Tianxiang. The dragon soldiers planted a terrifying number of mines in the deep snow. From the day the mines were laid, the routes of passage between the two places should only be detoured by other cities. Or take a plane to and from the air. The reinforcement of the fortress is still continuing, and the rail grain cannon is a trump card in Tianxiang's hand, and it is also an effective weapon to suppress a possible rebellion. Of course, in order to prevent possible emergencies, Tianxiang still made bad plans. At the beginning of the opening of the underground passage, the sappers had already planted a large number of high explosives in it. Once one side is alive, the entire passage is immediately engulfed in flames and heat. It's impossible to escape from it. But in Tianxiang's view, this is actually not stable. After summing up the opinions of various parties, he finally decided: to add a certain number of small tactical nuclear weapons to the existing explosives. The ancient ruins that connect the north and south of the two regions through the mountains have been completely turned into a defensive weapon full of death threats. That's about all that can be done. All that's left is to eliminate the potential threats hidden in the iceberg for them, as the Atlanteans demanded. Although until now, Tianxiang did not even have a complete idea of what the threat was.

Excavation has become a matter of concern to Tianxiang now. After a battle with the aliens, the 11th Panzer Division was once withdrawn to the northern capital for rest. After making up for the shortage of personnel and equipment, they were released from the Mozambican Food Division two weeks ago after receiving the absolute guarantee of air logistics forces. The task is also very simple. It is to escort all 500,000 foreign slaves to the ice field. It is up to them to take on the entire work of excavating the icebergs. The slaves came from a fiefdom southwest of Moscow. Their lord was the high-ranking humanoid who had been mentioned in Petrovsky's confession. Tianxiang has never had any good feelings about this creature. And this inexplicable feeling naturally continues to the people under its rule. With the idea of "I'd rather kill 3,000 by mistake than let go of one", he finally decided that all the remaining middle-aged laborers in his territory after eliminating the old, weak, sick and disabled would become necessary coolies for digging icebergs. In doing so, it is already very benevolent. Tianxiang did not have time to conduct a possible human-like investigation of these hundreds of thousands of people one by one. He must find out what the secret lies in the iceberg. Therefore, after simply being equipped with the relevant warm clothing, the huge labor force is like a long queue. From the original territory, it slowly extends towards the location of the iceberg. These people could die. The cold climate and the dangers of working are great threats to them. But in Tianxiang's opinion, this is already a "benevolent" decision made by himself. After all, these people are not their own people, and they will not be grateful to themselves. They are just a swarm of human locusts that do not produce, do not irrigate, do not produce any food. Although the exhibition of the dragons requires a large number of slaves. But too many slaves are also a burden. There is absolutely no such thing as eating for nothing and not working. Even if you eat the dead, you have to pay for it. What's more, he didn't order these people to be killed. I'm just asking them to dig up the iceberg with all their might. As for the possible casualties in it, it was entirely due to their own carelessness. From this point of view, the final decision of life or death actually lies with these aliens. The high-pressure water cannon, which is powered by electric energy, is a common tool for alien mining of icebergs. The scene of tens of thousands of water guns spraying together was extremely spectacular, and the white mist rose up in the cold air, forming a blurred barrier of vision. In the white mist, the huge ice is also shrinking its size at the same level as it flies. In the deafening sound of ice cracking, it finally turned into a mess of fragments on the scattered ice field. …。

In just one day's effort, the entire iceberg that Tianxiang saw last time was gone. The efficiency of the slaves' labor was indeed commendable. However, the size of the iceberg is frighteningly large. Judging from the images taken by satellite, the newly disappeared iceberg is just an inconspicuous corner of the entire mountain range. Looking at the rolling white blur on the photo, Tianxiang only felt as if a big stone had been pressed on his chest, making him unable to breathe through at all. God, such a large area, let alone 500,000 people, even if all the aliens are conscripted, plus the original various labors in the dragon clan, the number of slaves that can be used is only a few million. At this level, I want to smash all these huge blocks of ice apart. It will take at least a few decades. What's more, I don't have so many electric water guns in my hands for use. Even if there were, we wouldn't be able to get enough energy to drive it for a while.

There are far more things that make Tianxiang feel annoyed. When I entered the tent with my heart full of thoughts, I spent a cold night in a half-awake and half-asleep state. The next morning, when he stepped out of the tent, he saw that he almost didn't bite the teeth in his mouth. The iceberg, a huge iceberg, has slowly risen from the bottom of the sea after a night. Fills in the positions that were previously hollowed out by the Effort. It stands in front of Tianxiang's eyes, emitting a sparkling brilliance under the sunlight. It seems that the hunter in front of him is laughing at him, and he wants to use such a stupid method to compete with himself.

"The size of the iceberg is huge. They have been around since time immemorial. Due to their weight and size, we can only see a small part of the iceberg above the sea. As for the size of those icebergs immersed in seawater, no one knows。。。。。 For a moment, Yuna's words seemed to ring in Tianxiang's ears. She also finally understood why these Russian descendants living on the Siberian plains were able to survive in the ice and snow for 600 years. The terrible meat that had accumulated under this ice field was indeed enough for them to survive for so long every day. Even, for a longer time.

Rosen's fleet had already left the port of the Eastern Capital, and they had encountered a large amount of melted ice floe on the surface of the sea far from here. In desperation, they had no choice but to return. The impact of the closure of the "Sky Umbrella" is already very clear. However, it will take a long time to wait for all the icebergs to melt on their own. Frustrated, yes. But it did not interfere with the daily work of the slaves. Driven by the soldiers, they had to do the work they had to do every day. Even they themselves don't know how long such a day will last.

Half a month later, the icebergs that had risen from the bottom of the sea were completely excavated. In other words, at the current level, the number of existing icebergs must be increased by at least fifteen times. Or, more. People who do not have access to the seabed to measure can only find out all the quantities of work in such a stupid way. Requests from the Sea Tribes for help in obtaining data on the actual immersion of icebergs on the seafloor were also denied. In Tianxiang's view, this is actually very revealing. The Atlanteans had an unusual fear of the ice. Although I don't know what the reason is, from such a small matter, Tianxiang can get such an answer. After all, it is not difficult for them to obtain relevant data while living at the bottom of the sea, not to mention that the Sea Tribes have mastered many technologies that are far more advanced than themselves. But the fact that they were unwilling to help even such a trivial matter could only explain one reason----- the Atlanteans were simply unwilling to approach these huge icebergs. Perhaps, there is another answer to this question. These arrogant evolutionaries probably don't bother to help themselves who they see as puppets. However, such an unlikelihood seems unlikely. The anxious expression on the face of the Master when he mentioned the "Northern Threat" really left a deep impression on Tianxiang. …。

For these icebergs, Tianxiang's interest is getting stronger and stronger. However, the slow pace of excavation forced him to look elsewhere. A few days later, a convoy of heavy transport planes from Dragon City landed on a makeshift airfield in the ice field. From the huge belly, the handling machinery unloads a pile of tightly packed wooden boxes. It looks heavy, heavy.

In the days that followed, the dragon's engineers began to circle around the boxes. Thanks to their efforts, a strange machine with a thick round mouth at the front and about three meters tall finally appeared in anticipation. As for the contents of the other boxes, they were all taken out and stacked in a makeshift steel warehouse. Aside from their own value, there isn't much to attract them. Dragons are familiar with this kind of thing. As for their name, it is also very simple - battery. Clearly, the purpose of their existence is to provide enough energy for that massive and strange machine.

Alien slaves were certainly not allowed to be mixed into the installation and transportation of machinery. However, they had to make way for the machinery to make way for a wide passage. At noon the next day, under the curious eyes of many slaves, a group of soldiers escorted the machinery placed on the carrier, and slowly came to the ice from the direction of the warehouse. (Frozen meat is not tasty, the taste is terrible, and the meat is completely aged.) Chew like sawdust in your mouth. There is no hint of umami. Lao Hei has already done the test himself, if you don't believe it, you can try it again. To be clear, I eat frozen pork. As for anyone who wants to put a head in the refrigerator and taste frozen brain pulp or something, let me know in advance, and I'll call the police. Maybe the police will be able to smash a few more votes for me. οΌ‰
