Chapter 17: Breaking the Ice)
Most of this scientific research station is buried deep underground to avoid the coldness on the ground. There are countless turns of the deep corridors. There are air-tight alloy cabin doors half a meter thick all over the way. I don’t know how many secrets there are behind these cabin doors.
Chang Hao counted his steps silently along the way. So far, they have taken 1,747 steps, which has been more than one kilometer away. This shows how big this scientific research station is. Fortunately, their contingent has an electronic map of this scientific research station, so that they will not lose their direction in the twists and turns like a maze.
After the crowd of dragon servants, everyone finally arrived at the generator and started the backup power source here. The snow-white light quickly poured out from the high place. The dark corners before were now visible. With the English prompt sound of "The liquid nitrogen freezing system is online" on the center console, everyone felt a breath in their hearts.
Price continued to lead the team to advance to the core position of the scientific research station without saying a word.
What led them strangely was that there were many dragon servants ambushing the way to the generator, but the road to the core operation area was unobstructed and no trace of the dragon servant was seen along the way.
"Are they dead or are they afraid of these lights?" Chris looked at the light tube that kept flashing due to unstable voltage on his head.
"None are not." Chang Hao whispered: "This place is getting closer and closer to the core area of the scientific research station. After all, the Dragon Master is just a servant and is not qualified to get close to this place."
Chris, who claimed to be extremely determined, took a deep breath of the dry air in the mask. When he thought of seeing the mythological dragon with his own eyes, he couldn't tell whether he was nervous or afraid, and his hand holding the gun shook gently.
Seeing this, Chang Hao smiled, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will bring you back intact."
Chris grinned with bitter corners. Although he did not refute on the deck that day, he always believed that these two young people were the burden of this action. But now it seems that their elites, known as the British Royals, are the ones who are dragging their backs.
After walking through the last corridor filled with various instruments and supplies, he climbed out of the well like a group of dark ants, and his vision suddenly became clear.
There are five or six core working areas of football fields that are large enough to fit the abdomen of the iceberg. The huge engineering equipment is full of here. It is not difficult to see from the traces of dense excavation on the abdomen of the iceberg that the staff here have tried various methods. They want to drill a small gap directly into the interior under the iceberg, so as to take out the specimen and start research.
Judging from the various abandoned diamond drills scattered all over the ground and an extremely narrow gap, they should have succeeded, but unfortunately they opened Pandora's Box.
Chang Hao looked at the huge black shadow in the iceberg, and his pupils subconsciously tightened.
The real objects and photos sometimes look different. Chang Hao finally understood why the photos in the archives were a little blurred, because the breath of that guy in the iceberg has been subtly transforming everything here since then, even modern instruments.
Chang Hao said without hesitation: "Test the radiation concentration here."
Chang Ge's heart was thrilled, and he immediately took out the radiation detector to start testing. After a change in the number on the instrument, he stopped at the 0 position. Her heart was then relieved.
Chang Hao shook his head slightly. It seemed that modern technology had not yet developed to a sufficient level. He looked at Hathaway and said, "What are your plans next? Recycling the research data here?"
Hathaway nodded with a serious expression, "Recycling research data from the scientific research station is the first task, and the second task was originally intended to bring back the research specimens in the iceberg as much as possible. But now we know that this iceberg is simply Pandora's cartridge, and we must not let this iceberg see the light of day again. We must destroy it."
Chang Hao nodded in contemplation. This should be the best way at present.
The special forces team began to install C4 explosives around and in the corridors. Hathaway restarted the computer group in the core operation area to export research data. The research data was unexpectedly huge and took about ten minutes to completely copy it.
Chang Hao asked Chang Ge to be with Hathaway, and he walked towards the bottom of the iceberg.
He stretched out his hand and touched the iceberg with the expected coldness and unexpected touch. No matter how you look at it, something that should be ice does not feel like ice at all.
Chang Hao felt something was wrong, so he picked up a small diamond drill probe from the ground and smashed it hard at the "iceberg". With a bang, the contact surface was still as smooth as a mirror, but the diamond on the drill probe had completely broken into debris.
"You try stabbing it with a sword." The voice of the sword spirit suddenly rang in Chang Hao's mind.
"This thing is ridiculously hard. Are you sure you won't collapse the sword blade?" Chang Hao was slightly stunned and couldn't help but care.
The sword spirit only sneered and spit out the word "hehe".
"Okay, whatever you say is what you say." Chang Hao shrugged helplessly.
From the perspective of others, Chang Hao pulled himself at the foot of the iceberg like an autistic patient. After talking to himself for a while, they saw Chang Hao pulling out a sword out of thin air like a magic trick in his hand and stabbing towards the iceberg again.
Puff! Chang Hao widened his eyes. The scene of the sword blade shattering as he expected did not happen. On the contrary, the Yuehong sword easily cut into the butter block like a hot knife.
"This sword is really strong and sharp. You can easily pierce such a hard thing." Chang Hao held the Yuehong sword in his palm and stroked it carefully, and said in surprise: "The texture of this sword must be that jade cannot be wrong, but the texture of jade is mostly soft and crisp. According to legend, weren't jade artifacts and even jade swords used for sacrifices and burials in ancient times? Could it be really used in actual combat? You must know that I only dared to use a little bit of strength to meet the enemy with my sword before, for fear that the sword would be broken if I had a stronger strength."
"Hmph, that's because you've seen too little." The tone of the sword spirit was full of pride, "Huangdi had a precedent for using jade as a soldier at that time. The jade in ancient times was extremely hard and could store a lot of spiritual power. However, people in later generations believed that jade was only used for sacrifices and burials, and would not be used in actual combat, but because they were short-sighted and self-righteous, they had never seen real ancient jade."
"After that being said, what are these ice-like things?" Chang Hao looked up at the phantom in the iceberg, afraid that the thorn just now would alarm the monster inside.
"Actually, I can't be sure what this is. The only thing I can be sure of is that these ice-like things contain a lot of resentment, which is definitely not formed naturally." The sword spirit was a little depressed. He vaguely remembered what this was, but after thousands of years, he had many things that he could not recall at all.
Chang Hao didn't know the sword spirit with great powers, and he was no longer interested in exploring the truth. In any case, this scientific research station will soon be hidden in the world and listed as a forbidden area. The secret here may be silent under the snow forever.
Just as Chang Hao was thinking this way, he was about to turn around and leave, he looked up again by chance. This time, he saw something different.
The huge black shadow in the iceberg, which was originally like a statue, lowered his head without warning and stared at him. Two black flames called greed quietly rose from the position of his eyes.
Chang Hao's hair was exploding all over his body. He was about to shout out, but the huge iceberg was covered with cracks in an instant, and the next moment, the black shadow had already broken through the ice!
