I became the Martial Saint of the Wasteland

"I don't like those monsters."

The red-haired woman took off her scarf, revealing a face with frostbite marks.

Then he immediately checked the equipment he carried with him.

Including a laser dagger and two special single-shot pistols that can fire small plasma bombs.

There are not many weapons that can be used in extremely cold environments.

Outdoors in the Arctic, grenades can't even pull the tab.

Most fuses also don't fire.

The mortar will shrink due to cold, and the shell has a 70% chance of not exploding.

If you touch most metal objects with bare hands, your skin may stick to them.

In addition to deep space and polar models, most conventional power armor will also be greatly affected here.

For flesh and blood, heat is more difficult to endure than cold.

But the opposite is true for mechanical creations.

Low temperature environments can have a significant impact on most mechanical reactions.

Normally intact power armor can withstand external high temperatures of thousands of degrees Celsius for a short period of time.

But in an environment of dozens of degrees below zero, its own mobility will be greatly weakened.

A currently recognized concept:

The lowest temperature in the universe is -273.15 degrees, which is absolute zero.

The maximum temperature is 142 billion billion billion degrees.

These are measured through particle vibration.

It is supported by complete thermodynamic theory.

Hot and cold represent the kinetic energy of vibration of all particles in an object, while temperature is just a general form.

When a particle reaches absolute zero, it means it stops vibrating completely.

Using a more magical concept, it can be understood as "time stopping".

"Relax, Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlyuchenko..."

"We are here to seek help from Noah on behalf of the committee."

The elegant man sat on the horizontal chair of the capsule train, took out a pair of electronic lenses from his arms and hung them on his right eye.

The data stream refreshed rapidly in the mirror.

"Just call me Lyudmila..."

“And it’s not a request for help, it’s a deal!”

The woman emphasized with some dissatisfaction, and immediately looked at the pipeline lines passing quickly outside the car window.

They are currently rushing to their destination in a maglev tube at a speed of 450 kilometers per hour.

The journey takes approximately 5 minutes.

Symbols of planets and ships can be seen everywhere inside the capsule train.

This is part of Noah's base.

In the vast and lonely Arctic Circle, Noah is the king here.

Beneath the thick ice, Noah's base resembles an ant nest.

Hearing the woman's complaints, the gentle man just shrugged.

It's very warm inside the car, and the oil on the top is constantly emitting heat.

The somewhat irritable red-haired woman also lost her interest in arguing.

To survive in extremely cold areas, it has almost become an instinct to reduce conversations and activities.

Along with the slight hum from the magnetic track outside, the capsule train began to slow down.

at this time.

The man suddenly spoke.

"Lyudmila, maybe you will have a chance to be transferred to the Pan-Asian United this time."

"Haven't you always wanted to find your sister who disappeared after the war?"

"If I remember correctly, she is a mechanic in the logistics team of the Special Mobile Corps in the Far East."

"Based on the regional situation after the great destruction and the information fed back by the Mobile Corps."

"There's a good chance she'll survive."

"So maybe you can try to fight for it."

The gentle man's words made her thoughtful, but in the end she didn't answer.

"Ding!"

The capsule train came to a complete stop.

The hatch opened, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside made both of them shiver.

Even if you are as arrogant as Noah, you cannot achieve indiscriminate heating in such a huge base.

After leaving this confusing capsule train and crossing the simple internal platform, the destination of this trip is not far ahead.

Heavy rail doors separate the inside and outside.

However, the two people with temporary identity keys only stood still for a moment, and the track door opened automatically.

"Welcome to Biochemistry Laboratory No. V."

"Weapons and high-power nuclear fusion fuel rods are prohibited in this area..."

"Please accept inspection in the designated area, leave the weapon to Tasudo for safekeeping, and then follow the instructions to enter the sterile disinfection workshop in an orderly manner."

A melodious and soothing announcement sound appeared.

The language was Russian, which they were most familiar with, and the pronunciation was very standard.

They came to the inspection area marked with a circle on the ground.

Let’s start with a set of various scanning devices.

Then flexible tentacles emerged from the pipes at the top.

These tentacles are not mechanical, nor are they purely biological. The texture is more like silicone, at least there is no slippery slime.

They flexibly collected all the contraband.

Even the short titanium alloy thorn hidden in Lyudmila's ankle was not missed.

The two of them continued to move forward in silence.

After arriving here, Lyudmila restrained herself a lot and no longer spoke out loud.

It can be seen that this is not the first time for both of them.

Subsequently, they underwent sterile sterilization and put on protective clothing and masks, mainly to prevent contamination caused by the flora in the body.

The more sophisticated a biochemistry laboratory is, the more bells and whistles it has.

But when they arranged to meet in the experimental area, this alone was enough to show how weird the other person was.

However, the two of them have to follow each other's rules.

And what they did was only basic measures, such as the core area of ​​the laboratory, and more rigorous processes.

The entire experimental area is very large.

It is responsible for 42% of the biochemical experimental tasks of the Noah biochemical project.

Standing on the conveyor belt, they finally arrived at Dr. Jon's office.

Through the helmet covered with a filter film, Lyudmila looked at Dr. Jon, who was wearing a simple white coat, and was suddenly speechless.

The other party was not wearing protective clothing at all.

He was holding a steaming coffee cup in one hand while using a brain-controlled device to check holographic documents. He looked very devoted and serious.

He didn't come back to his senses until the two stood there for a while.

"Oh? You are here."

"Jerrod Warner?"

"Lyudmila Mikhailovna Pavlyuchenko?"

After hearing his words, the two nodded slightly.

"On behalf of the Northern Restoration World Committee, I would like to pay tribute to you."

The two acted very formally.

Dr. Jon waved his hand nonchalantly.

"sit down."

"What do you want to drink?"

“Can hand-ground coffee be okay?”

He's a very young guy.

He looks to be in his early twenties, but his tone of voice is extremely mature.

Dr. Jon did not stand up, instead he was greeted by dozens of chaotic tentacles.

"Just clean water."

Jarrod replied politely.

Lyudmila, who was standing next to him, said nothing and just looked at the dancing brown tentacles.

"Bang!" Dr. Jon snapped his fingers, and three tentacles immediately moved into action.

Open the cabinet door, take out the glass, and pour the bottled water into it.

Everything is done in the blink of an eye, very efficiently.

The two sat on the guest chairs.

Dr. Jon's tentacles suddenly retracted under his body.

It felt like he had a dimensional magic box hidden under his desk.

"I have read all the documents you sent."

"Unfortunately, the so-called secret-level biotechnologies of the Northern Victoria Alliance before the war can only be described as backward to Noah."

"What a huge disappointment."

There was no politeness, no unnecessary chatter, he went straight to the point.

"But you still summoned us..." said a gentle man named Jerrod Warner.

This made Dr. Jon twitch the corners of his mouth and say with a smile.

"Jerrod, you're smart."

"I heard that you have an S-level biology major."

"Are you interested in joining Noah?"

“This is the best research facility in the world.”

"There's nothing bad about the Arctic. Occasionally you can take a thermostatic ball to the surface."

But Jarrod shook his head firmly.

"Sorry Doctor, research is not my ambition."

"I just want to save the survivors in Northern Wei."

"The frost is spreading and a new ice age may come at any time."

"Noah's bionic cultivation technology can save lives."

For Northern Victoria, where most of its territory is located in high latitudes, climate changes are particularly eye-catching.

Especially the coming of the Ice Age will make the already harsh living environment even worse.

According to the information gathered, this may be the last summer in Northern Victoria.

The follow-up in other areas will definitely be better than that in Northern Victoria, but they will also be affected by the severe cold.

It's just that most wasteland forces are now unable to monitor global climate change.

Only a few forces will pay attention to the climate, but only around the settlements.

Except for survivors in the Northern Wei area.

This place is sparsely populated.

The trauma caused by the Great Destruction was limited.

It is the first region in the world to complete the reorganization of power.

At the same time, the survivor organization in Beiwei did not show any desire for aggression, but rather kept a low profile.

The reason is also very simple.

All wars require motivation.

Land, resources, population.

Northern Victoria has the most extensive territory in the world and is rich in various resources.

This is especially true after a major population reduction.

The resource indicators per capita are extremely high.

City ruins are less difficult to rebuild and explore.

Due to species and population distribution, the number of alien species and ghouls in Northern Victoria City is much lower than in other areas.

Even the aggressiveness has been reduced a lot due to the low temperature all year round.

The only thing that poses a serious threat is drastic changes in climate.

Due to the abundant chemical energy.

The Northern Victoria Alliance started early in the application of nuclear energy, but developed later.

The related technological applications of nuclear fusion are far less mature than those of the Pan-Asian Federation and the Star Alliance.

Even if you build an underground shelter, it will be difficult to survive for a long time.

At this time, if we can get Noah's technology, everything will be solved.

Technologies such as bionic generators and bionic petri dishes are the pinnacle of the combination of mechanics and biology.

The ice age may come at any time, maybe this year, maybe next year. According to the rhythm calculated from meteorological data, it will not exceed three years at most.

No matter what, they must seize the time and take action.

"All right."

"Well, let's get down to business."

Dr. Jon sat upright and added: "The technology you gave us is not enough to exchange for bionic cultivation technology, but the mastermind has a new commission that it can entrust to you to complete."

Having said this, he suddenly stood up.

But there are no normal feet under his body but large clusters of tentacles.

It's like an octopus, except it has more tentacles than an octopus.

It looks more like a withered bouquet of flowers.

"Why do you Noah like tentacles so much?"

Somehow, Lyudmila asked.

This made Dr. Jon look at her seriously for the first time.

"Flexible and efficient."

His answer was concise and to the point.

Then, surrounded by tentacles, he arrived at the information platform on one side.

The holographic projection appeared, and countless light particles converged into a vivid image of the planet.

Dr. Jon twirled one of his tentacles.

Finally stopped in an area.

The tentacles drew a circle on it.

"This is the East China District of the Pan-Asian United Nations."

"The Mastermind needs to collect some unique biological samples."

"The target is probably in human form, with a mature civilization and class system."

"Has control of some pre-war shelters and technology."

"That's their signature."

"What you have to do is to obtain no less than 30 living samples and 600 tissue samples."

“As for the upper limit, the more the better.”

“The more you can bring back, the more Noah can give you!”

"The corresponding list is here."

Dr. Jon introduced neatly.

I don't think they would refuse at all.

Jerod looked calm, as if he already knew the result.

Lyudmila was speechless and returned to the role of guard.

After the simple handover of information was completed, Dr. Jon solemnly reminded.

"You'd better bring more people."

"You can choose by sea or air."

"Noah's branch in Pan-Asia United East China can provide you with the necessary material support."

Jerod nodded: "We will handle this commission."

He picked up the clean water and took a sip, knowing clearly why Noah came to them.

Because Northern Victoria's territory is adjacent to the Arctic Circle.

It is more convenient for both parties to communicate.

And Beiwei has the best expulsion sonar.

There is more confidence in bringing the samples back to Noah’s Arctic base camp.

Although Noah has branches all over the country, the organization is relatively streamlined.

Therefore, there are many bionic monsters that are not suitable for walking on the surface, but there are only a few specialists who can handle things seriously.

What's more, those commissioners also have another mission, which is to recruit talents for the base camp.

What's more, the mastermind... also needs proper nourishment.

Outside the Arctic, Noah kept a low profile.

The two sides hit it off almost immediately and both have reasons to cooperate.

After finalizing the details, Gerold and Lyudmila left the biochemical laboratory.

After taking off their protective clothing and masks, taking back their weapons, they boarded the capsule train again.

"See, I said you have a chance to go to the Pan-Asian United this time."

"The initial period of this mission is four months. If there is no major change in the temperature zone by then, the mission will continue until the next year."

"But whether you can lead the team in person, you have to apply to your superiors first."

Lyudmila didn't speak, and Jerrod put the scarf back on himself. At the same time, he carefully took off the electronic lenses and kept them close to his body.

They have to rush back to the research station on the edge of the Arctic within a week.

At the same time, he took a submarine there and returned directly to the mainland of Northern Victoria.
