Wooden houses and dwellings built into the mountainside utilize natural caves.
In the middle of the settlement, there were some barracks that were clearly made of composite panels.
There were even a few gray reinforced concrete buildings all around.
Watchtowers, fortifications, crisscrossing dirt roads...
The entire gathering area was well-organized, giving people a sense of strict military-style management.
It's not just a place for people to live, but also a place for them to work.
In some relatively flat areas, there are dozens of huge greenhouses covered with transparent materials.
Through the thin film, patches of vibrant green vegetation can be faintly seen.
As far as the eye could see, there were many pedestrians moving along the dirt road.
People dressed in thick winter clothing walked on the roads and busied themselves between buildings, far outnumbering those at the high ground outposts Han Ning had seen.
The entire settlement was estimated to have at least five thousand people, resembling a small town.
"Tsk, I never expected there to be such a place in the frozen mountains..." Chairman Wu exclaimed in amazement.
He knew of the Sword of Judgment, but seeing such a large and orderly encampment still shocked him.
This sight was even more shocking than the barrier outside.
Professor Ye carefully examined the greenhouses and building layout in the distance, muttering, "Self-sufficient ecological agriculture, modular buildings, and traces of heavy industry... No wonder it's the military."
Lynx stood aside, quietly waiting for the emotions of these outsiders from the Biyun gathering area to subside.
Only when Han Ning turned his gaze to him did he speak: "Chief Han, please come with me. The Commander-in-Chief and Captain Li are waiting for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the tightly closed wooden door in front of him suddenly opened, and several imposing figures walked out.
There's still so much to learn in Chapter 277.
As the heavy wooden door at the entrance opened.
A gust of wind carrying the smell of disinfectant blew towards us.
The man on the left is Li Feng, still dressed in his sharp combat uniform with a sword at his waist.
A half-step ahead of him was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his early forties.
This man had a square face, thick eyebrows, and calm yet sharp eyes that seemed to see right through people.
He wasn't wearing a military uniform, just a dark gray combat suit. His posture was as upright as a pine tree, and his steps carried an aura of iron will.
The energy fluctuations emanating from its body had reached the Black Iron level, and were far more condensed and substantial than ordinary Black Iron level energy.
He's clearly a big boss-level figure.
“Chief Han, welcome to the Sword of Judgment.” Li Feng spoke first, turning to introduce the middle-aged man beside him, “This is Lieutenant Colonel Zheng Weiguo, the commander-in-chief of our Sword of Judgment.”
Lieutenant Colonel?
Although for ordinary people, a colonel is already a very high-ranking military officer.
But Li Feng is already a colonel, while the leader of the Sword of Judgment is only a lieutenant colonel.
Hmm... Looks like I've arrived in another world, where strength and ability are everything.
The people in the Biyun gathering area had different thoughts in their minds.
At this moment, Zheng Weiguo stepped forward and offered his hand to Han Ning.
His hands were broad and thick, his knuckles were large, and his voice was deep and powerful.
"Chief Han Ning, I have long admired you. I am Zheng Weiguo."
"As soon as Captain Li returned, he praised you and your Biyun settlement highly. Meeting you today, I can see that you are indeed extraordinary."
His gaze swept quickly over Han Ning and Chairman Wu and the others behind him, with a scrutinizing tone, but no malice, more like a habitual assessment of a stranger.
"Commander Zheng, Colonel Li, you flatter us. We came here with a learning attitude." Han Ning shook hands in response with neither humility nor arrogance, and briefly introduced Chairman Wu, Zhao Kai and others behind him.
Upon hearing the introduction, Zheng Weiguo nodded gently to everyone and then said:
"It is a blessing for mankind that the Biyun Cluster can take root and develop in this mountain range and has talents like you."
"Everyone, please don't be shy. Since you're here, we're all friends. Why don't you all take a stroll around the gathering area first?"
"it is good!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Zheng Weiguo and Li Feng personally led Han Ning and his group on a tour of the Sword of Judgment's base.
We passed through that heavily guarded mountain pass.
Their first stop was a large training ground converted from a natural cave.
Hundreds of awakened individuals are undergoing intensive training here, with shouts, sounds of energy colliding, and the roar of machinery filling the air.
The training programs are diverse, including not only simple physical fitness, combat, and melee weapon training, but also targeted training for different ability attributes.
Flames, frost, earth, rocks, air currents, and even mental interference are all carried out in an orderly manner within a specific isolated area.
Many training facilities are inlaid or engraved with simple runes to reinforce, measure, or channel energy.
"Tsk, this scale..." Zhao Kai's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but whisper to Han Ning, "Boss, our training ground is like children playing house compared to this."
"Moreover, they also obtained rune inheritances from another world, but they don't seem to be as advanced as ours. They should be the inheritances of fishmen or other deep-sea races."
In the Biyun gathering area, people holding different positions observe different things.
Zhao Kai, from the combat team, was naturally looking at the overall strength and training status of the Awakened Ones.
As researchers, Cheng Rui and others naturally looked at the runes depicted on the training equipment.
As they observed, they whispered among themselves about which aspects of the Sword of Judgment they could learn from, then took out their notebooks and quickly took notes.
In no time, everyone's notebooks were filled with notes.
After leaving the training ground, they visited the planting area located deep in the mountain.
This is not a traditional open-air farmland, but a series of neatly arranged, brightly lit, huge artificial greenhouses.
The greenhouse employs multi-layered, three-dimensional cultivation technology to simulate different light and humidity environments, cultivating a variety of selected crops.
Many technicians moved around the room, recording data.
It is equipped with a simple irrigation system, a constant temperature system, and even special lights that mimic sunlight, ensuring stable production even in extreme environments.
"Food and medicine are the foundation of survival," Zheng Weiguo explained simply. "We have invested a lot of resources in this area to support the consumption of several thousand people."
He was quite proud of these things.
It is truly remarkable that so many things can be grown on frozen ground where it is slippery to the touch.
Next is the military industrial area.
The security here is noticeably tighter.
Through the protective glass, you can see several simple production lines inside.
As expected of the Sword of Judgment, it even has protective glass.
These production lines are quite special.
The primary productive force is not machines, but awakened individuals with special abilities.
That's what Han Ning saw.
There are awakened individuals who can manipulate metal and directly shape the parts.
Fire-type ability users do not directly release flames, but rather control the temperature of the flames to melt metal.
Earth-type ability users simulate a stamping press to process blanks made of special materials, while perception-specialized users are responsible for quality inspection and fine-tuning.
At the end of the production line, bullets gleaming with metallic luster and shell casings are being produced in an orderly fashion, while in another area, propellant is being carefully mixed and loaded.
Despite being allies, Han Ning and his team were not allowed to enter the production line for a close-up look.
He only caught a few glimpses of her through the window before Li Feng took him away under some other pretext.
However, Chairman Wu and his group weren't particularly interested in this kind of small-scale arms factory.
Now that everyone has the technology of the Origin race, they don't have much time or energy to focus on developing their own technology.
The main reason is that they lack a large number of professionals in related industries.
It belongs to soil that has not been studied.
Next.
They also briefly inspected the logistics support, medical, and living areas.
The entire Sword of Judgment base gave Han Ning and his team the impression of being efficient, orderly, and disciplined, making the most of limited human and material resources, and demonstrating the discipline and planning of the military in every aspect.
"Indeed impressive." Han Ning exclaimed sincerely, "In comparison, our Biyun Cluster is more like a scattered pioneering camp. There is a significant gap in overall management and systematic planning."
Zheng Weiguo shook his head: "Different situations lead to different paths. You are taking the route of coexisting with elite troops and nature, which is equally admirable. The fact that you were able to train so many experts in such a short time is truly astonishing."
After the tour, everyone was led to a spacious conference room to take their seats.
After drinking the tea, Zheng Weiguo's expression became slightly more serious.
"Welcome again to everyone."
His gaze swept over the six people in the Biyun gathering area.
"Captain Li should have already briefed Chief Han on the current situation."
"The Kuroshio Current threat is imminent, and the monsters in the water are putting too much pressure on us. All human forces must put aside their differences and cooperate sincerely."
Chapter 278 The Navy's Requirements
"The reason for inviting everyone to this high-level meeting is to discuss the final plan for the 'Deep Tide Decapitation' operation, to pool our resources, and to act together."
"However, we can talk about this later..."
He paused, then changed the subject, looking at Han Ning:
"According to Captain Li, Chief Han is looking for a special kind of fish that seems to have dark red or grayish-blue scales and a shape similar to a manta ray?"
