I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield-Chapter 573 - 456: Cold Tree Barrier (Part 3)

On Mingwang Planet, the daily temperatures hover around minus seventy to eighty degrees, dropping below minus one hundred twenty degrees during the polar night. Even with the Empire’s most advanced thermal wear, ordinary people cannot survive, let alone live and work stably.

But now, the barrier supported by the Cold Tree has completely broken through this limitation.

The temperature inside the barrier has risen to over minus forty degrees and is gradually climbing. This is close to the winter temperatures of ordinary planets, allowing people in basic thermal gear to function normally.

What does this mean?

It means that the Ice Extreme Pass is no longer just a battlefield for Spiritualists, but can truly become a "habitable" stronghold, where all activities can proceed undisturbed by the cold. In the future, it could even attract more people to migrate to the Ice Extreme Pass, forming a stable community.

Chambers of commerce and individuals who previously hesitated to invest in Mingwang Planet due to the extreme cold will undoubtedly flock here once they learn of such a "warm place" at the Ice Extreme Pass. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

By then, the Ice Extreme Pass will not only solve its own funding and energy problems but also become the commercial hub of Mingwang Planet, drawing resources from the entire planet.

More importantly, the Ice Extreme Pass is just the beginning.

He has already planned in his heart to open up more strongholds on Mingwang Planet in the future, letting the Cold Tree Barriers flourish everywhere. With the unique Talent of the Void God Master, he will establish stable Teleportation Arrays between each stronghold, linking them into a network.

By that time, what was once a remote, overlooked Ice Extreme Pass will become the center of the entire Mingwang Planet, unrivaled by any other base.

And the key to all this lies in Lan.

Only Lan’s power can activate the Cold Tree and support the barrier.

This means that the value of the Cold Tree is absolutely unique—even if other forces obtain the Cold Tree seeds, without Lan’s power, the trees cannot survive or form a barrier.

This is not only the advantage of the Ice Extreme Pass but also the most precious card in Qin Tian’s hand.

Qin Tian took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and turned to Lan with a sincere smile: "Lan, thank you. You’ve helped me a lot."

Lan nodded lightly: "No need to thank me. Seeing these trees related to me might also help me recover my memory."

For him, awakening the Cold Trees was just a trivial task, yet it unexpectedly made him feel a "connection" with the external world—this vague sense of familiarity was his first tangible touch with the "past" since awakening.

Qin Tian looked at Lan, secretly grateful that he had chosen to take Lan away from the Secret Realm; it truly was the right decision.

Then, with a thought, more Cold Trees emerged from the Yang Space, landing steadily in several areas of the Ice Extreme Pass like blue stars.

The Cold Trees were evenly planted.

This time, without waiting for Qin Tian to speak, Lan raised his hand proactively, letting pure cold Energy, like fine rain of light, fall on each newly planted Cold Tree.

The trees, which had just touched the ground, instantly came alive, with roots quickly embedding themselves in the frozen soil, branches swaying gently, and blue crystals on the branch tips shining with scintillating light, resonating with the existing Cold Trees.

As the number of Cold Trees increased, the light blue barrier that originally covered half of the Ice Extreme Pass began to expand outward, rippling like a wave, eventually encapsulating the entire Ice Extreme Pass.

That layer of light blue "shield" hovered above the Ice Extreme Pass, as if draping this ice-sealed stronghold with a gentle Armor, completely isolating the harsh winds and cold outside.

Inside the barrier, the temperature rose visibly and quickly from the initial minus forty degrees to stabilize around minus thirty degrees in just a few minutes.

To those who have lived on Mingwang Planet for a long time, this temperature is almost synonymous with "warmth."

The soldiers shed their heavy thermal wear, comfortably moving about in light combat uniforms.

The darkness of the polar night still engulfed Mingwang Planet, yet the Ice Extreme Pass stood as an exception amid this blackness.

Inside the barrier, the bright white light of ice lamps intertwined with the blue glow of Cold Tree crystals, illuminating the interior like daylight.

Soldiers no longer had to guard against wind and snow but could rotate and rest in the warmth, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

In the residential area, even some soldiers in charge of logistics had lit a stove, preparing to cook a pot of hot soup.

Before this, no one dared imagine such a scene during Mingwang Planet’s polar night.

Qin Tian looked on contentedly at all this; the foundation for the development of the Ice Extreme Pass had been laid. It would now depend on his strategies and methods.

However, before doing so, he had some minor troubles to address.

Qin Tian glanced toward the area outside the pass, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
