Chapter 358: Reaching the Arctic Circle
On the 30th day of coming to the new world, the new scientific research ship sent by the group arrived at the Arctic Circle, and under the guidance of the American secret army stationed in the Arctic ruins, the 100-meter-long and 30-meter-wide scientific research ship was moored on the huge solid ice.
Dressed in the equipment of the polar winter environment, the scientific expedition team stepped onto the Arctic ice with a large number of tracked engineering equipment, and arrived with them with scientists from all over the world, who did not interfere with the archaeological excavation work, but each country wanted to see the ancient relics that made the United States a scientific and technological power.
The elongated procession moved across the ice, and tracked transporters followed one another, resembling a Siberian train in the howling Arctic winds.
Whoa, whoa!
The tracked armored vehicle with the head poked out of its head, and it was the head of security for the trip, Jérôme, a young officer from the Resident Evil world.
Following the direction of the snowmobile, Jérôme saw a huge gap under the iceberg, a few pieces of building materials frozen into mounds of ice, and the slatted houses where the American GIs lived.
Five minutes later the convoy came to the front of the camp, all the vehicles stopped, and the soldiers and scientists stationed in the camp came out of the camp, which was very small, and the total number was less than one hundred and fifty.
After all, this is the depths of the Arctic glaciers, and it is difficult for ships or planes to transport supplies here.
The people who worked in the camp for a long time had never seen such a long line of convoys, and the giant spaceship that had just floated past the camp.
Fack!
If they hadn't received the news from their superiors in advance, they would have thought that they had been isolated from the world for too long and that aliens had begun to invade the earth!
Even so, when they saw the soldiers of the Polar Armed Forces of the Group wearing snow armor, they still had doubts about the development of science and technology in this world, and how much time they and others had spent in this ghost place.
The white armor stretched the person slightly larger, with an average height of nearly two meters, a full-coverage helmet on the head, two large lenses and an arch-like vertical breathing port at the mouth and nose, which wrapped the heads of these people tightly.
It is understandable, after all, to avoid the cold wind of the Arctic from pouring into the body and damaging the fragile lungs.
Behind the soldiers, how the hell did those boards with no wheels and no propellers run, the soldiers stationed in the polar regions could not figure it out.
"Lieutenant Chico, I'm Costin Best, White House Commissioner! Next, you need to cooperate with our actions, and you can protect yourself in case of danger, we must first find an open space to park your equipment. ”
The entrance to the ancient ruins is a huge hollow, and the underground passages of the ruins are often flooded by cold winds, and the cold wind makes the White House commissioner Costin wrap himself in a cold suit and explain the situation loudly to the head of the camp.
Trembling, he reached into the document bag and tried to take out the certificate signed by the Grand Commander, but he was not used to the Arctic environment, and the feeling of holding with gloves, the wind in the cave blew, and the document in his hand flew into the sky like a white dove escaped from the hands of a magician.
Costin still wanted to recover the important documents, but after taking two steps, he was blocked by passing Polar Force soldiers.
Lieutenant Kochi, who had been standing in front of the entrance of the ruins for a long time, bared his yellow teeth on his face under the face scarf, and shouted: "Don't worry about those few pieces of broken paper, can you just tell me to cooperate like this, I still wait to complete the handover and return to the place where I can warm my legs and feet without preheating!" ”
"Okay, okay......"
Commissioner Costin raised his hands helplessly, then looked left and right, and soon saw the figure that jumped off the tracked armored car, and immediately beckoned back, "Follow me." ”
Then, one after the other, the two of them came to Jérôme, the head of security and operations for the group's trip.
After seeing and introducing each other, Jérôme did not say anything polite, and made sure that all the personnel were present, and with the help of Lieutenant Chico, they parked some armored transport vehicles in an open area, and slowly walked towards the interior of the ruins with the equipment they needed.
According to Lieutenant Chico and the members of the American scientific expedition team who have been in charge of and exploring the site, there are actually a lot of scientific and technological creations inside the ruins, and after careful observation, the possibility that these thousand-year-old incorruptible scientific and technological creations can operate normally is very high.
There are words in it that are incomprehensible to humans, and without sound and references, they are difficult to decipher.
"The space inside is very large, but there are only three important spaces, and we are not sure about the purpose of these places, but ......"
Lieutenant Chico led the way through the dark tunnels as he introduced the new expedition team to the sites that had been discovered.
Lieutenant Chico's words were halfway through with a hint of hesitation, but he continued, as if he deliberately pretended not to care, "You know, one of the people sent to this ghost place is that they must be atheists. I didn't know why they were making such a weird request before I came, until I actually came here and saw the frozen.
You must not understand what kind of dreams I have every night, haha, I dreamed that I was on the ice, being chased by demons, and my mouth was crazy and shouting 'God, God~!' Hahaha! Originally, there were 180 people stationed here, but now only 123 people remain, and in 3 years, 57 people committed suicide!
Many people are frightened, or simply frozen out of their brains, in short, more and more people are hallucinating, saying that something is whispering in their ears, in fact, I have also dreamed that something is talking in my ear, but I am a staunch scient! I told them that it was just because of the psychological hints I gave myself after seeing too much.
Hahaha, I also remembered how hilarious it was when Lorence clutched her crotch and cried and shouted for her mother......"
It's been a long time since Lieutenant Chico has spoken to a normal person, he is the head of the camp, and he can't show weakness in front of his soldiers, or lose his majesty.
Otherwise, those frozen zombies might have killed the entire battalion just because they looked ugly.
That would be too funny, a group of corpses that have been dead for an unknown number of years, and have only survived to the present day by relying on the "refrigerator", have killed more than a hundred people lying there!
They didn't interrupt Lieutenant Chico's ramblings, they knew how difficult it was to hold out in such a polar environment, so they were willing to listen to the conversation.
There's also 20% of the content in it that is useful, isn't it?
Suddenly, the members of the expedition team stopped, and they came to the first open space, which was an open field made up of stone pillars carved with various strange symbols.
The scientists who were originally stationed here seemed to use this place as a storage place for corpses, and a large number of red demon remains were lying in a space of hundreds of square meters, and all the corpses that Lieutenant Chico and his soldiers had been able to find and dig up over the years were here, neatly arranged, and the eyes were extremely shocking.
This open space is like a square wrapped in ice, and the main body of the square is made up of stone slabs underground, as well as giant stone pillars that have broken or collapsed around the perimeter.
The symbols on the stone pillars instantly made the scientific expedition team following behind want to get closer to check, and the neatly placed corpses on the ground were better than peeled oranges, and the thirst for juice made them ready to move.
"Here are all the alien corpses we can collect, and the rest of the corpses are either frozen in the ice and can't be dug up, or they're too broken to carry."
Lieutenant Chico pointed to the many literal "zombies" neatly placed in the square, and then pointed back to the passage deep in the ice cave.
"Go ahead and see something else?"
"Let's keep walking."
Jérôme nodded, stopping the expedition that was anxious to do anything to the corpse on the ground.
Now it's time to walk through the terrain of the entire ruins, scan the structural map, and check the route information.
You need to have a general understanding of the ruins to know how to proceed.
Soon, the group came to the second open place, and the light of the flashlight illuminated a huge space that winded upward, in which there were many stone pillars, and the center of the stone pillar was an empty field, but in the center of the field there was a strange array carved on the ground.
These formations look like some kind of ancient human sacrifice site, but when you move up a little further, you can see a gate made of alloy molded in the ice, and the shape of the gate is not as sci-fi as humans imagined, but rather retro.
The sharp raised spikes and the half-cut cast-iron skull in the center resemble the gates of some kind of castle in medieval Europe.
More of the gate is in the ice, and there are a lot of rocks under the ice, but for a long time, everything here is almost submerged in the sea, and to get deeper into the ruins, you need to dig through the ice that is several meters thick.
They also saw Lieutenant Chico try to do this, and a large part of the ice covering the metal gate was dug open, giving them a glimpse of the iceberg of the ruined buildings.
In addition, there are details throughout the site that tell the story of this relic from a distant time, the scratches on the stone pillars, the hollow craters in the ground, and the broken limbs that had been embedded in the ice walls and had become completely integrated with the ground and had not been dug up by Lieutenant Chico.
Dada!
Jérôme walked to the huge uneven ice wall, his vision lowered, and he half-crouched down to see a cloudy yellow eyeball frozen on the shallow ice.
Ice is indeed the best cloak for preserving these ancient things, and the eyeballs look as fresh as if they have just been stuffed in.
The last space of the ruins, which was located underground, had to go down through a crack tunnel of broken ice, and after sliding through the tunnel for hundreds of meters, they reached the last open space that had been discovered in the ruins.
This is clearly the main battlefield of the ruins, and the huge war bunker reflects the shock of history in the light of the flashlight, and the war bunker, which is mostly covered in ice, mixes cold technological creations with ancient European architectural styles, and does not give people a nondescript feeling, but is very natural.
The well-preserved lifting platforms, connected to the exposed parts of the bunker, have not been cleaned up, and the most pristine images have been preserved.
The scientists of the scientific expedition team finally couldn't hold back their excitement, took out various equipment to take pictures or probe, released mechanical flying insects, and drew the outline of the bunker.
The samples of monster corpses scattered along the winding road seem to be more numerous, more complete, and more bizarre.
A tawny monster with a head like an insect with sharp claws, a brain spider seen on the moon, a humanoid monster with a body covered in gray-white cuticles like a warrior wearing armor, and a one-eyed monster with giant horns on both sides of its temples......
There are many kinds of monster corpses, all of which are hideous and terrifying in appearance, and most of them are humanoid, except for most of the unspeakable monsters.
There are also some non-humanoid monsters lying on the ground, which greatly enriches the confrontation between the arms of the battlefield of this ancient ruin, and also greatly increases the difficulty of the scientists of the scientific research team to decipher the true situation of the ancient ruin war.
After all, none of these creatures look like one species to each other, and there are so many of them that it is doubtful that they can cooperate to attack a city together.
Biology is a very rigorous discipline, and now if you look at the scene of the great alliance of seven or eight monsters scattered on the battlefield of ancient ruins from the perspective of the biological foundation of the world of human beings or the Avatar world, they will definitely be overloaded.
The combination of these monsters is as strange as letting humans fight the starry sky with orangutans, monkeys, dogs, and giraffes.
But this question is left to the scientists of the scientific expedition to think slowly......
After visiting the entire part of the ruins that had been discovered, Jérôme waved his hand and asked everyone to return the way they came, as far as possible, without touching anything here.
Jérôme is actually a scientist himself, and he often studies the semi-mechanized transformation of animals, so it is really difficult to serve as an officer on the group's scientific research ship without some scientific talent.
After making sure that everyone was back on the surface of the ice safely, they began to expand their camp in the snow and ice, preparing for a long-term camp.
Terrain excavation began, and they wanted to dig up all the ice that covered the ruins and preserve the intact ruins for investigation.
Maybe there's a more efficient way than mining......
Suddenly remembering something, Jérôme stopped the construction of the camp and happily got into the armored car and drove towards the research ship.
Soon after, an application for special equipment for a special project was approved, and the Ministry of World Development began mobilizing from the Resident Evil World of the Headquarters.
Twenty days after the parties coordinated, the core components of the scaled-down beta version of the Star Destroyer Cannon hauled by a large-scale transport ship appeared over the North Pole of the New World.
The group has been researching the weapons of the J-star, and the leaders of this weapon research are the weapon engineers in various worlds who are gradually keeping up with the development progress.
Because the expansion of a certain group often uses the means of selling anxiety to get other worlds to buy their group's works, so they sell and sell, and most people in the group also believe in anxiety.
It does exist, the Marvel World Earth has been invaded, and the Zombie World Earth has been completely uninhabitable by the virus.
Therefore, the weapons that can destroy the planet have become important, so the engineers in the design bureau often hold online discussions about what kind of weapons should be used to destroy a planet.
Some people want to create a virus that works according to the program, a low-cost biological weapon that will kill life.
There are those who want to use a large amount of antimatter annihilation to create antimatter bombs.
Of course, there are also more traditional and most common fantasies, the inertial idea of using high temperatures to melt through the surface to detonate the core of the planet.
But according to Colonel Quacky, who comes from the world of Avatar and the future earth, it is very difficult to destroy a planet, and there is actually no way to destroy the planet in the future.
The plan of melting through the earth's core and causing an explosion is not feasible, but if it doesn't work, why not do it?
That's not good, they have to do it, and they have to do it well, and they have to succeed!
