Split Sky Rider

Chapter 1193 - "White City" in Antarctica

Many knight novels contain the clichéd plot of a dragon snatching a princess, and the cultural world of the Slan Dynasty on the Sky Star is no exception.

There is a princess in the Silan Dynasty, and there is a dragon among Chen Fei’s friends, but it is too much for a female dragon to snatch the princess.

"Look how scared you are! People with girlfriends are different!"

Her Royal Highness the Princess covered her mouth and laughed, her maid and shadow guard all turned a deaf ear to her, as if they heard nothing. Only Her Royal Highness the Princess's close friends knew that there was actually a bit of rebelliousness hidden in her character.

In order to maintain the royal image on weekdays, one must always maintain a virtuous and dignified personality. However, in front of the younger brother of the Chen family, one can put down his airs without any scruples. The opportunity to joke is quite rare, and there is no need to worry about the sudden collapse of his personality and shocking the people of the dynasty.

Heseman Brown and Dang Weijun looked at each other. They never expected that the princess of the Slan Dynasty would be like this.

After Chen Fei made up his mind to return to Blue Star, he would try not to come to Cangkong Star again. Every time he met Princess Lin Ziyu, nothing good would happen, so he had to avoid her.

On Socotra Island, watching the "Star Gate" appear again, Monk Sanhao, who was personally staring at the projection location, also saw Her Royal Highness Princess Lin Ziyu of the Slan Dynasty on the opposite side of the "Star Gate".

If the other party didn't come, it would be a diplomatic incident if they came. Of course, if it is not reported, it will not count. You can freely decide the scale.

I just don’t understand what’s so good about the hot wind in Socotra Island. Even the monks got tanned.

Fifteen minutes later, the "star gate" projected to Socotra Island disappeared, and the second coordinates of the Sky Star were successfully calculated.

If it weren't for the "planetary-level computing node" with the golden dragon core as its core, the amount of calculation alone would be enough to make Chen Fei feel overwhelmed. Even a conventional supercomputer cluster, even at full load, would take a long time. The Neanderthals at the time also spent a lot of time and energy to obtain some coordinates of the blue planet.

Supercomputers have always been big energy consumers, and this will not change with the continuous upgrading of technology and the increase in computing power. They consume a large amount of energy every minute and every second, and usually require energy towers to supply energy separately. Ordinary civilian power grids or crystal energy networks simply cannot afford such energy extraction.

The scheduled location of the third "Star Gate" is not on the Morning Star Continent, but in the ice and snow of Antarctica. There is also Antarctica on the Sky Star, which is much larger than Antarctica on the Blue Star. At the beginning of the unification of the entire planet, the Slan Dynasty set up a secret base here. On the surface, it is a scientific research station, but in fact it is a doomsday base that can accommodate 100,000 people.

With the help of the S-level space-powered mutant Heseman Brown's supernatural skill "space teleportation", he first moved from Morning Star Continent to Chongyang Continent, then to Milei Continent, and finally reached Antarctica. He took a small transport aircraft and flew for more than an hour before arriving at his destination located in a large snow-capped mountain range.

The outdoor temperature is about minus 108 degrees Celsius. If there are no proper insulation measures, it will only take three or four seconds to get frostbite, one minute to get severe frostbite, and five minutes to get complete hypothermia. Even a god cannot save you.

The small transport aircraft set up a protective force field and, braving the cold wind and snow, landed on a sliding terrace extending from the mountain, then returned to the interior of the mountain along with the terrace.

The entrance to the cave where the terrace is located slowly closes. From the outside, it still looks like rugged rocks, making it extremely hidden.

Although the thick rock layer and artificial insulation layer isolated the external cold, the air convection caused by the brief exposure to the outside world caused the room temperature inside the terrace to drop sharply. Large areas of white frost quickly climbed up the walls and the ground, and a crystal ice shell also appeared on the surface of the small flying ship's hull.

“It’s so cold!”

He is Lord Jia Ma of Blue Star. His northern latitude is equivalent to the Northeast region of the first sovereignty, but it is not so cold as to reach minus 100 degrees Celsius. Perhaps only the center of the South Pole of Blue Star will occasionally have such extremely low temperatures. Even a cow might be frozen to death if it pees.

The Dang Wei army, who usually wear individual tactical armor, are immune to cold and heat, so this little bit of low temperature is nothing. The "Dragon King" assault-type individual heavy armor can even adapt to lower temperatures.

The current room temperature is minus 28 degrees Celsius, but the heat from inside the mountain is constantly replenishing, offsetting the incoming cold current bit by bit. It won't be long before the temperature rises above zero, and the places covered with thick white frost will become wet water stains.

Shadow guard Liz Gina put on her headset to contact the person in charge of the base, waiting for a reliable guide to come and pick her up.

The maid Feidani clasped her hands together and held an alchemical tool in the shape of a short staff. The crystals inlaid on it glowed faintly, causing the temperature within a three-meter radius to quickly rise to a pleasant 20 degrees Celsius. The surrounding coldness lingered with clear boundaries, but could not invade this range.

Her Royal Highness the Princess then walked out leisurely, wearing casual clothes and standing in the constant temperature barrier maintained by the alchemical tool, completely unaffected by the cold.

"The daily temperature outside here is around -80 to 100 degrees Celsius, and can even reach -140 degrees Celsius at its lowest. It is unlikely that any intelligent species will come here, and the nearest settlement is at least 1,200 kilometers away."

Princess Lin Ziyu knew this secret permanent base in Antarctica very well. After all, it was also an important refuge for members of the royal family.

Nearly 10,000 people, men, women, old and young, live inside the almost hollowed-out mountain. The Slan royal family merged several settlements of intelligent races in Antarctica and settled them here. All of them are feathered races. The isolated life, adaptability to the harsh cold environment and dependence on supplies allow the residents here to maintain their loyalty for a long time.

There is no shortage of energy within the base. There is the Target low-temperature nuclear fusion energy tower to maintain long-term energy supply, and there are abundant geothermal resources as a supplement. People living here even have inexhaustible hot springs to use.

As the leading feather tribe went deeper and deeper, the view suddenly became clear. In the heart of the icy and snowy Antarctica, inside the mountains there were not only brightly lit towns as bright as day, but also plantations. Lush and thriving green plants could be seen everywhere, and the temperature remained at around 25 degrees Celsius.

Princess Lin Ziyu's personal maid, Feidani, had long since put away the alchemical instrument that she used to maintain the surrounding temperature, and only used it briefly when she walked out of the flying ship.

An old man from the Feather Clan with white hair and beard came to Princess Lin Ziyu, stopped, then half-knelt on the ground, touched his chest and bowed his head, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, welcome to the White City of Antarctica."

"White City" is the name of this secret permanent base in Antarctica.

Princess Lin Ziyu nodded and said, "Please stand up. Hello, Lord Knight, are you okay?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The White City located inside the mountain is almost closed, with no strangers coming in or out. Apart from daily external surveillance, only some important places inside have armed guards. Therefore, even if the city lord came out to greet them at this moment, there were no security personnel arranged.

"Thanks to your highness, I am doing fine."

Knight, the old city lord of the Feather Clan, stood up quickly. Although he looked old, he was still strong. He continued, "The young men just killed a cold abyss beast near the southeast 331 Unfrozen Spring. It's a good opportunity for Your Highness to have a taste of it."

Although the Antarctic continent of the Sky Star is freezing cold, it has abundant geothermal resources, including hot springs, caves and grottoes that are not invaded by ice and snow, and craters that spew out thick smoke and magma all day long, providing survival resources for the creatures here.

Even in the ice and snow, there are still tenacious algae and various lower plants that strive to absorb some substances needed for survival, and are not affected by the severe cold of more than 100 degrees below minus Celsius. The special ecological chain system formed by this, any member of which has a unique way of survival.

The Southeast 331 Unfrozen Spring is named after a hot spring 331 kilometers southeast of the permanent secret base "White City". Such a name can be used to find guidance back to the base when lost. The hot spring that never freezes is also the area with the richest animal and plant resources on the Antarctic continent. The Hanyuan Beast is one of the few large predators in this icy and snowy land, and most of the Feathered People living here have hunting skills. The Hanyuan Beast is a rare top prey.

Even though they can be self-sufficient in White City through planting and breeding, and with the regular supplies from the Slan royal family, as a permanent base, there will definitely be no shortage of survival supplies, but the Feathered Tribe living here will still go out hunting from time to time.

"It looks like we are in for a treat."

Princess Lin Ziyu looked at Chen Fei and introduced: "Organisms that live in cold environments are rich in fat. The meat of the Cold Abyss Beast is particularly tender. Whether it is stewed, fried or roasted, it is very delicious. Even for me, it is rare to eat it a few times."

Although geothermal energy can maintain a certain level of ecological resources, Antarctica is still a barren land compared to other continents. As a predator at the top of the food chain, the number of cold abyss beasts has always been scarce, and they are good at moving deep in the ice and snow. It is rare for the Feathered Clan of "White City" to successfully hunt one.

"Then I'll have to try it."

Chen Fei followed the princess and ate and drank for free, feeling at ease, just like going out for fun. He and Mr. Brown looked at each other, and they both had some interest in the meat of the Hanyuan Beast.

It only takes about ten minutes to install the "Star Gate", and the rest of the time can be used for sightseeing, eating, drinking and having fun.

At this moment, a dozen young men from the Feather Clan, with ice chips constantly falling from their bodies, walked out of a passage, holding up their railgun battle rifles, and shouted loudly towards the huge space of the town inside the mountain.

"We hunted the Frost Abyss Beast today, let's all come together!"

The peaceful and tranquil Feather Clan town suddenly became lively, with people flapping their wings and rising into the sky from all directions, flying towards the location of these Feather Clan youths.

City Lord Knight smiled and said, "Haha, they are back!"
