Whether Qin Luofei believes it or not, the facts are undeniable.

He could only suppress his suspicions and say, "Alright, get ready, I'll take you back by plane later."

"Finally, we can go back... Oh right, have we found out why those sharks went crazy?"

Qin Luofei looked embarrassed when Liu Kai raised this question.

Considering his great contribution today, I gritted my teeth and decided to reveal some information.

"The cause has been found, but... this matter is classified as confidential, and I only know the basics."

Liu Kai became interested and quickly adopted a listening posture.

Eavesdropping on secrets is such a fascinating thing.

"Hmm... It's said that some unknown virus invades the brain, and infected hosts lose their rationality and become much more aggressive."

"Holy crap? Zombie virus?"

Liu Kai's expression changed, and he couldn't help but utter the extremely absurd word "zombie".

Qin Luofei rolled her eyes at him.

"Don't worry, this virus won't infect humans, and it doesn't spread through biting."

Liu Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, that's good."

The bitter cold and apocalypse were bad enough; he didn't want to experience something like a biohazard crisis.

Qin Luofei continued to recount all the information she knew.

"The statement that it cannot infect humans is not accurate. It should be that the vast majority of animals, including primates, will not be infected."

"But it is very effective against some carnivores that are already very fierce and large in size."

"For example, lions, tigers, bears, sharks, crocodiles, and the like."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kai, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly thought of something.

He quickly asked, "Can cats and dogs get infected? Like tabby cats and huskies?"

Qin Luofei looked at him curiously again: "Why are you asking this? Do you have cats and dogs at home?"

"Yes."

"Tsk tsk, you're doing pretty well. Others are struggling to fill their stomachs, and you're keeping pets? Don't worry, cats and dogs are too small and not suitable hosts for this kind of virus."

"Don't tell anyone what I'm telling you, or it will cause panic."

Hearing that cats and dogs were vaccinated, Liu Kai felt relieved.

He patted his chest and assured her, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."

...

There was still some finishing work to be done at the oil production platform, so Qin Luofei did not personally see them off.

Liu Kai boarded the helicopter alone and disappeared into the vast night.

Airplanes are much faster than snowmobiles.

Soon after, Liu Kai saw a conspicuous campfire on the ground in the distance.

Five soldiers are diligently guarding the diesel fuel in the garage.

Hearing the roar of the engine, they all ran out and stood in line to welcome it.

They have received orders to hand over the diesel fuel.

They also learned about Liu Kai's heroic rescue "highlight moment" and were filled with solemnity and respect.

As he stepped off the plane, they all gave him a solemn military salute.

Liu Kai smiled and waved to signal everyone not to be so serious, then strode towards the garage.

What he cares about now is the 800 tons of diesel he earned after a hard day's work.

But what he saw surprised him slightly.

There was also a silent generator running continuously inside the garage.

The extended power supply is connected to 15 square patches with sides of 1 meter, which are attached to 15 oil tanks respectively.

Liu Kai was unsure of the function of these patches and was momentarily at a loss.

A sergeant who had been standing guard outside walked up to him and began to explain.

"Mr. Qiu, these are two extra items that the higher-ups requested you to receive as a gift: a 150 kW diesel silent generator and an ultrasonic defrosting device."

After saying that, as if afraid that he would misunderstand, she quickly added, "Don't worry, the diesel fuel that the generator is currently using was delivered separately."

"Oh? This is good stuff."

Liu Kai's eyes lit up.

Ultrasonic defrosting is not a new technology; it is commonly used to defrost food and requires water as the vibration medium.

The method that can defrost without any medium and simply by applying a patch is definitely high-tech.

Unexpectedly, the usually thrifty official was surprisingly generous today.

Perhaps it's because of his outstanding performance.

The sergeant continued, "This machine is extremely efficient and consumes little energy. It can not only defrost, but also prevent freezing."

Liu Kai nodded in complete agreement.

Through scanning, he had already seen that the 15 diesel tanks with defrosting pads had almost completely melted into liquid.

"Hehe, please thank the leader for me, I really like it."

"Mr. Qiu, you're too kind. You deserve it. Well... if there's nothing else, we'll take our leave."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

After exchanging a few polite words, Liu Kai watched as the soldiers boarded the helicopter and left.

He turned to look at the uniquely shaped patch device, his smile barely concealed.

It has to be said that this official gift really touched his heart.

In this terrible cold snap, besides food and clothing, the most important things are thawing and preventing freezing.

The high-tech instrument's function of defrosting diesel fuel is secondary.

An even better way to use it is to attach the patch directly inside the mining rig!

It can not only accelerate the loosening of external permafrost, but also speed up the mining process.

It can also reduce the diesel consumption required for insulation of mining machines and reduce the probability of damage to mining machines due to low temperatures.

Thinking of this, Liu Kai was in a great mood.

Even the fatigue from a long day seemed to dissipate.

After confirming that no one was around, he swept all the items that filled the entire garage floor into his pocket.
