Qin Che, of course, couldn't show favoritism, so he nodded to Zhang Yi and turned to join the backpacker group.
Several years have passed, and the backpack troops have developed a mature combat system. They have been on the battlefield and killed the enemy, and the people assigned here this time are all veterans.
They possess precise shooting skills and quick reflexes, and have an extremely high level of mastery over hydrogen battery backpacks.
They were all ace pilots.
Among them were meritorious veterans who had killed countless enemies, as well as exceptionally talented geniuses.
Qin Che also reviewed them one by one.
"As you all know, in the next few days, you will be accompanying me into the ice field along with Vice Minister Li's troops."
"Now, our advance team has already made progress at the southern end of the Imperial Ruins!"
"Next, I need to open a passage between Bow City and our jungle outpost, and I will need your assistance!"
Everyone shouted in unison, including Li Zhanhuo and his soldiers: "Yes!"
With a wave of his hand, Qin Che led tens of thousands of troops deep into the icy plains.
These people had just arrived and hadn't rested. They were about to set off immediately. Neither side said anything. The Supergenome was full of energy and didn't shush at all. The backpackers followed the team directly in the air, each carrying the most advanced equipment currently available in Lingbi.
3rd generation rapid fire, one for everyone.
Fourth-generation individual soldier armor, as well as watch-worn radar and in-ear communicator.
It can coordinate in the air and maintain communication at any time.
With more people, the ice field no longer seems so dangerous.
Qin Che put all the supplies needed by the soldiers into his personal space, so the entire army was almost lightly equipped.
Nothing happened for a month.
Backpackers and gene teams march very fast, but they also have to take care of outpost garrisons; they are all ordinary people.
Although they were all wearing anti-freeze armor, it was still much heavier, which slowed down their march several times.
Qin Che didn't urge them, after all, the ice field environment was harsh, and what he needed was not efficiency, but to ensure the team's morale.
At this very moment, the sun rises in the east.
As they marched deeper into the icy plains, everyone could see sheer cliffs on the horizon.
"Is that a sheer cliff?"
"My God, it's so high!"
"It pierced straight through the clouds; it's truly a masterpiece of nature."
The soldiers' eyes popped out of their sockets, utterly shocked, their mouths agape.
Even Li Zhanhuo stared silently ahead, his eyes somewhat vacant.
This cliff is much higher than the walls of Lingbi.
Standing tall on this icy plain, it resembles a colossal pillar reaching for the sky, sending chills down one's spine.
"We're supposed to climb over a sheer cliff? How are we supposed to possibly make it up there?"
"Oh my god, do we have to climb up there...?"
"In any case, isn't this exactly why we marched here!"
Although the soldiers rarely complained, they were still somewhat confused when they saw this wall of despair.
Qin Che looked at Li Zhanhuo.
He had discussed this matter with Li Zhanhuo before setting off.
This expedition into the ice field is for development, not for war. The more than 20,000 people present are all laborers!
"Listen up, everyone. For the next period of time, we will be stationed at the foot of the cliff and we will be carving a staircase into it. This is our way into the Imperial Ruins!"
"Did you understand?!"
"Understood!" The entire army responded in unison, their earth-shattering shouts almost making the icy plains tremble.
Qin Che nodded with pleasure. "Very good, the soldiers are all in high spirits."
Li Zhanhuo turned around and ordered everyone to come and collect the tools.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Che pulled out a large pile of shovels and electric drills from his personal space, stacking them into several large mountains.
Before everyone could be shocked, Qin Che shouted, "I will assist you all. Don't feel it's difficult. It may only take seven or eight days to carve a passage through the cliff!"
After saying that, Qin Che reached out and summoned a dense array of shovels that rose into the air. He then used his extraordinary ability to manipulate objects to begin carving into the cliff face.
The soldiers were utterly shocked by what they saw.
Li Zhanhu urged them two or three times before they gradually caught up.
Qin Che stood with his hands behind his back, his body floating in the air, secretly regretting his actions.
If Li Xin is to be stationed at Gongcheng, he must be brought here.
His molecular scissors were perfect for carving out stairs.
Over the next few days, the soldiers established a camp at the foot of the cliff, and the construction of the stairs gradually took shape.
With Qin Che using hundreds of shovels, efficiency was greatly improved.
The soldiers simply followed behind Qin Che and chiseled out the stairs. Of course, they also encountered hard ice layers that even electric drills couldn't break through, which Qin Che broke through directly with his Three Flame Sword, a move full of violence.
With extraordinary help, the workload was indeed not too heavy.
At this moment, Li Zhanhuo was standing at the foot of the cliff, ordering people to start fires and cook. Meanwhile, Qin Che had taken out rations and other resources and piled them up to the side, enough to feed the entire army for several months.
"Once the road is built, supplies can be transported to Gongcheng continuously."
"Only then can the Bow City outpost be truly revitalized and become a stronghold."
Li Zhanhuo nodded: "Your Highness is right."
"But we still need to build a road at the foot of the cliff at the jungle outpost, which is the most efficient way to transport goods by car. Then we can build a transfer station here, or build some cableways and freight elevators. Once we reach the top of the cliff, we can connect the road to Bow City to maximize the efficiency of our transportation routes."
Qin Che patted his shoulder: "You know a lot."
Li Zhanhu smiled and said something modestly.
"Starting from Bow City, after stationing troops and developing and establishing facilities, we can then explore further north."
"We may encounter more enemies and more powerful Yin generals, but as long as we can unearth the imperial technological heritage, that is more important than anything else."
Qin Che sighed.
Technology relies on archaeology... especially this kind of imperial technology, which he really craved.
If it can be fully developed and deployed to the Central Plains battlefield, Lingbi may become the biggest winner.
He just wants to quietly make his fortune, then wait decades before shocking everyone...
