Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 719 - 409. The most severe challenge since the Age of Calamity
The deep night has completely enveloped Guangren City.
The current expansion speed of the extreme cold cyclone has already become very slow.
Experts from the Carmenia Federation believe that it won’t be long before the frost disaster area starts to shrink and then gradually disappears.
All major media outlets in the Dongli Kingdom have started repeatedly broadcasting this news.
At this moment.
A massive army is stationed on the outskirts of Guangren City.
This is the Federation Army deployed from Hanlai Base.
A total of two divisions, with a total number of 22,000 soldiers, more than 2,000 tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, repair vehicles, and other vehicles, completely surrounding Guangren City.
Wilson, dressed in camouflage cold resistant suit, squeezed into the cargo compartment of a military truck, feeling like a pig being transported to the slaughterhouse.
This feeling is really terrible.
He chewed gum, listened to the howling of the extreme cold cyclone, and couldn’t help but curse, "Fxxk!"
Last year, all major powers around the world began a massive military expansion, and with the Federation having 800 million people, it decided to expand by 20 million.
Wilson had just lost his job at that time, so to get by, he signed up to join the Federation Army.
After two months of brief training, his infantry company was dispatched to the distant Dongli Kingdom.
After spending a month adapting here, he started to feel that Dongli Kingdom was quite a good place.
Because, once out of the base, wherever he went, he saw faces that were cautiously wary.
There were also numerous Dongli special service industry practitioners around the base, much cheaper than within the Federation.
Moreover, Wilson neither had a wife nor a girlfriend; he could have fun however he wanted, making him feel that staying in Dongli Kingdom was truly enjoyable.
But now, he feels very dissatisfied.
Wilson exhaled a breath, complaining, "Ordering us to Guangren City in the middle of the night to face the cold wind, those bastards above really don’t consider us as humans!"
The surrounding soldiers nodded in agreement.
While military cold resistant suits are more warming than the civilian version, and the cargo compartment is a closed structure with heating inside.
But the temperature in this area has dropped to minus eighty degrees, and is also affected by the extreme cold qi, it is practically as cold as an ice cavern, freezing the soldiers to the core.
At this moment.
Orders simultaneously echoed in the communication headsets worn by everyone: "Attention everyone, orders from above have come down, all troops enter Guangren City."
This was the voice of the company commander, "Hanks".
Hanks is over forty, and is quite caring towards his subordinates, so everyone calls him "Papa Hanks", or directly "Papa".
"Vroom!"
The truck shook, and slowly started moving.
Wilson exhaled a breath, muttering, "I believe patrolling the frost disaster area is better than staying idle in the same place."
The other soldiers nodded in agreement.
Everyone had the same thought; staying idle in place truly is a torment.
Papa’s voice continued to sound: "Everyone, the frost disaster area contains a high concentration of extreme cold qi, if you feel something’s not right, immediately insert the ’Fire Demon Fuel Cell’, understand?"
Upon hearing "Fire Demon Fuel Cell", Wilson immediately showed a constipated expression.
A nearby soldier named Old Hei whispered, "I won’t use that damn thing."
Since entering the Superpower Era, Great Xia has continuously produced black technology.
Though the Carmenia Federation isn’t as strong as Great Xia, they have also developed quite a few black technologies.
The Fire Demon Fuel Cell is one such example.
Its core material is an extract from the Red Fire Coal Mine.
A Fire Demon Fuel Cell about the size of a palm weighs less than half a kilogram and can release up to five kilowatt-hours of energy.
Such powerful energy storage capability surpasses even Great Xia’s Super Crystal Battery.
Therefore, when this battery first appeared, the media of the Western Hemisphere, led by the Carmenia Federation, praised it to the skies, proclaiming it as the "greatest invention of the 21st century".
Unfortunately, shortly after, the Fire Demon Fuel Cell fell from its pedestal.
Because this thing has a serious flaw.
When the extract from the Red Fire Coal inside the battery reacts, it releases a strange scorching heat to the outside.
If the reaction lasts beyond a certain limit, and the scorching heat accumulates to a certain degree, it could ignite surrounding objects.
This prank has gone too far!
Therefore, many people mockingly refer to the Fire Demon Fuel Cell as the "Arson Battery".
Scientists of the Federation have tried many improvement measures, but have been unable to solve this problem.
Because it’s an inherent characteristic of the extract.
If the extract is treated to remove this characteristic, the battery’s energy storage capability would significantly decline.
Nowadays, Western Hemisphere media rarely mention the Fire Demon Fuel Cell.
Nonetheless, Carmenians have found an application scenario for the Fire Demon Fuel Cell.
The Federation Army placed a large order to equip its soldiers with this battery to power their cold resistant suits.
Due to the battery’s ability to emit scorching heat, its cold resistance effect is exceptionally good.
As long as the battery is not used continuously for too long, there not much worry about fire.
But the soldiers are reluctant to use the Fire Demon Fuel Cell.
Because the scorching heat accumulates within the human body, causing many strange side effects.
Such as dry mouth, like water blisters forming on the tongue or mouth, or heat rashes spreading across the body; making it impossible to sleep at night, or causing nosebleeds, hair loss, and constipation.
There’s even an unspeakable side effect - impotence.
