Chapter 63 Swearing to Protect Commander Lin
"Yes!" Lin Mo nodded.
"I've found out, there are three ways to use it."
"The first type is the 'daily package' we are using now, which is suitable for short-term, large-scale transmission."
"The second type is per-transaction pricing, based on the volume of the object being transported and the energy consumed."
"The third type is the 'buyout system,' where the buyer can purchase the right to build a permanent portal from the Holy Humans, but the buyer is responsible for the subsequent maintenance and costs."
"Buy it out!"
"We must buy it out!"
Academicians Qian Zhenhua and Liu Chengen shouted it out almost in unison.
A permanent passage connecting two worlds—its strategic value cannot be measured by any cost!
Lin Mo shook his head regretfully.
"We don't have the money right now, so we can't buy it. The elves contracted it for ten days, which came at a huge cost, costing several large treasure chests of treasure."
"But that's normal, considering it's cross-dimensional."
"That's about it. We've arranged to depart with the Holy Humans the next day to return to the Elven race and begin constructing the portal."
The high-ranking official, who had been silent on the screen the whole time, listened attentively and finally smiled.
He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful.
"Lin Mo, you did a great job!"
"Comrades, we must eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. It seems that our long-term goal is now clear."
"Our top priority right now is to use those precious ten days through the portal to safely and intact deliver our expeditionary force to the continent of Terra!"
"The second step is to help the elves win this battle, reclaim Verdant Leaf City, and obtain the World Tree Seed!"
"The third step is to find a way to secure a fiefdom for ourselves, a bridgehead. Then, at all costs, we must build our own permanent astral portal!"
"You need to figure out how to obtain fiefdoms and resources to purchase teleportation portals from the Holy Human Race."
After the chief finished speaking, everyone in the conference room looked solemn and spoke in unison.
"Yes! I will not fail you!"
The chief looked at Long Zhan.
"Comrade Long Zhan."
"Here!" Long Zhan immediately stood up.
"You will personally command the expeditionary force and be responsible for all military operations during this expedition."
The chief abruptly changed the subject, his tone becoming unusually serious.
"However, in all major strategic directions, you must heed Comrade Lin Mo's decisions."
"His safety is the highest priority of this expedition, above all other tasks!"
"If anything happens, the first thing you must do is ensure Lin Mo's safety at all costs."
"As long as he's still alive, we have a chance to start over!"
"Did you understand?"
Long Zhan straightened his legs, gave a perfect military salute, and in a booming voice, pledged his allegiance.
"Yes! We'll protect Commander Lin to the death! He's alive, he's alive!"
The chief nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the crowd.
"Do you have a plan for the portal's location on Earth?"
Dragon Warrior answered first:
"Reporting, sir!"
"I suggest setting up the portal in the underground base of the Arctic theater!"
"That's a military fortress, with the highest level of secrecy and defense."
"In case... something uncontrollable happens in the other world, we can defend ourselves and launch an anti-invasion operation!"
"Agreed." The chief immediately gave the order.
"It's settled then."
"Then all personnel of the 'New Hope' Project Command shall immediately relocate to the Arctic Theater Base."
"Long Zhan, make the necessary arrangements."
"yes!"
The video call was cut off, and the image of the top leader disappeared.
......
The relocation of the New Hope Group was carried out swiftly and decisively.
Lin Mo packed his change of clothes and toiletries into a tactical backpack, and that was it.
On Qian Zhenhua and Liu Chengen's side, it was like a war.
Various precision instruments were carefully packed one by one by professional engineers dressed in cleanroom suits.
Finally, the group boarded a large military transport plane and flew directly to the Arctic.
Inside the transport aircraft cabin, Academician Liu Chengen clutched a silver metal briefcase tightly to his chest, treating it like a precious treasure.
Lin Mo, with his legs crossed, looked at his nervous expression and asked curiously:
"Old Liu, what treasures are in the box?"
Liu Chengen grinned.
"I haven't had a chance to do a full analysis of the Terra samples you brought back. If they get lost on the way, I'll be dead for sure!"
Qian Zhenhua pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and shook his head at Lin Mo.
"Commander Lin, ignore him, that's just how he is. We told him the supplies would be sent over with the equipment, but he just won't listen!"
Liu Chengen snorted and hugged the box even tighter.
The transport plane flew smoothly above the clouds.
Several hours later, the aircraft shook and began to descend.
The view outside the porthole was no longer a sea of clouds, but an endless, desolate ice field.
Suddenly, a mountain on the ice field ahead silently split open, and a straight crack expanded to both sides, revealing a huge tunnel entrance.
Rows of guide lights illuminated the depths of the tunnel.
The transport plane adjusted its attitude and flew precisely into the area.
The plane landed in a brightly lit underground hangar.
As soon as the hatch opened, a blast of dry, cold air rushed in. Lin Mo, who was only wearing a thin jacket, shivered because Long Zhan had told him it would be very cold over there.
Wow! That's quite a temperature difference!
The heatwave on the surface of Bell City can bake a person alive; it's practically another world.
Fortunately, his second-tier physique was already impressive, making him quite different from the temporary military overcoats everyone else was wearing.
Long Zhan laughed:
"The outside temperature on the ice field is minus ten degrees Celsius. Inside the base, the living area is kept at a comfortable 20 degrees Celsius by air conditioning and equipment to dissipate heat."
He looked at the crowd and said in a loud voice:
"Welcome to the Arctic Theater, Base 'Bastion'!"
Several military electric vehicles silently glided in front of the crowd.
"Let's arrange accommodations first. The academicians' equipment will be transported and installed by a professional engineering team later."
The group boarded the vehicle and traveled through the magnificent underground fortifications.
Above us is a ten-meter-high rock dome, illuminated by a huge LED array that makes it as bright as day.
The walls are made of thick composite materials, and there is a super explosion-proof door every few hundred meters.
Countless soldiers and engineers drove construction machinery, moving back and forth in the wide passageway in a busy and orderly manner.
Lin Mo stared wide-eyed.
The car drove downhill and stopped in a secluded residential area.
The dormitory is a private suite, about 100 square meters.
The decor is simple, and all the furniture and walls exude a sense of solidity, clearly indicating that earthquake resistance has been taken into consideration.
"Everyone, put down your luggage and meet at the restaurant in five minutes."
The restaurant was lush with greenery, and dinner was plentiful.
Dragon Battle Introduction:
"This is the exclusive canteen for the New Hope team. No outsiders are allowed in our activity area. It's safe, and you don't need to worry about leaks."
After the meal, Long Zhan called Lin Mo aside.
