Man in the Ark: Revitalizing Kazdel

With the social butterfly Muirseth as the livelier in the meeting, the originally serious and heavy atmosphere was relaxed and lightened.

Roy looked up and down at the capable and energetic old man Kuranta.

Mariam was also secretly observing the Sarkaz Demon King, who was rumored to have extraordinary powers, with all kinds of thoughts surging in his mind.

"Andnet Mariam, Director of the Rhine Life Sciences Research Department, greets you."

Old man Kuranta has a respectful expression, his upper body leaning forward, his left hand behind his back, and his right hand extended forward.

"Hello, Director Mariam, welcome to Kazdel." Roy stood up and shook Mariam's outstretched hand. Her fingers were thick and strong, and her palm was covered with rough calluses.

He is indeed a practical scholar who has been conducting scientific research in harsh environments for many years. You can see it from his hands.

After the handshake at the first meeting, Roy introduced Elqi to Director Mariam.

"This is Elki. As a member of the Cyclops tribe familiar with the glacial environment, she will serve as the joint scientific expedition team's guide in the Sami Icefield area."

"Hello, Mr. Mariam." Elki smiled and nodded without saying anything else.

"Hello, Miss Elki. During my expedition to Sammi, I heard stories about the Cyclops from the locals."

"I believe that with you as the guide of the scientific expedition team, this joint expedition will surely yield gratifying results."

The rumor of the Cyclops, which spread among the Sami tribes, is full of mystery and weirdness.

It is said that they have special abilities. Not only can they predict good and bad luck, but they can also communicate with the legendary beings in Sami legends and receive the protection of the ancestral spirit Anma.

When making plans for the Sami Ice Field expedition, Mariam planned to recruit several experienced Sami locals to serve as guides for the expedition team.

Because the non-ice field environment is complex and full of dangers, the expedition team's operations will be extremely difficult without the guidance of local people.

Unexpectedly, Kazdel had already selected the right candidate in advance. It seems that the authorities attach great importance to this joint investigation operation.

It seems that this meeting and conversation should be able to achieve good results.

"Mr. Roy, I have prepared a detailed plan for this joint scientific expedition to the Yinfei Icefield. Please review it."

Mariam pulled a thick folder from her briefcase and placed it on the table. She crossed her arms and waited silently for the person in front of her to flip through it.

"I've already heard about Director Mariam's abilities from Director Muirseth."

"I wonder how far you and your team have progressed in exploring the Yinfei Ice Field?" Roy picked up the document and asked while flipping through it.

"We passed through the Black Forest, crossed the Winterfang Mountains, and stepped into the Inferi Icefield. Soon, we lost our way. Finally, it was the warriors of the Sami tribe who saved us all..."

Talking about the team's exploration experience in the Infe Icefield, Mariam's eyes lit up like a bonfire on a winter night, and her tone became more and more excited.

"Ahem..." Roy coughed lightly, interrupting Mariam's narration. "Director Mariam, I have a basic understanding of the contents of the plan."

"The information about the ice megastructure in here should have been provided by your general manager Christen, right?" Roy asked, pointing to the long paragraph of text enclosed in brackets in the plan.

Mariam realized that she had just lost her composure, chuckled awkwardly, and after quickly gathering her thoughts, she began to explain.

"Yes, I don't know how the commander-in-chief obtained this information, or whether he conducted any field research. Therefore, I remain skeptical of the authenticity of the information."

"Well, Director Mariam's spirit of seeking truth from facts is truly admirable." Roy nodded with satisfaction, closed the document, and passed it to Elki.

"Thanks......"

"Director Mariam, I have another question." Roy tapped the table with his fingertips and looked sharply at the old man Kuranta opposite him.

"Please tell me."

Mariam did not avoid this at all, and looked at Roy calmly.

"If you don't get Kazdel's support, will you still continue with your original plan?"

"I believe that the tentacles of civilization can get closer to the end of the Inferi Icefield. Moreover, the team has received support from the Rhine Life Force. I will not stop moving forward."

"Haha... Your answer is pretty much what I expected. I believe that in our subsequent cooperation, we can achieve a mutually satisfactory result."

"On behalf of all members of the scientific expedition team, I would like to express my gratitude to you."

......

As time passed, a brief meeting and conversation concluded. Kazdel and Rhine Life reached a preliminary agreement on cooperation. Specific details of the collaboration would require further negotiations.

The information previously provided to Christen about the Far North Star Gate has now lost its timeliness.

At Roy's instruction, Elki shared information about the demonic collapse body and the rootless flower with Mariam.

Mr. Kuranta is very interested in the botanical properties of the rootless flower and hopes to observe the real thing with his own eyes.

Unfortunately, the rootless flowers that Elki collected from the boundless sea of flowers had already been consumed after many experiments, leaving only video data.

But it doesn't matter. Once the joint scientific expedition team enters the depths of the Yinfei Ice Field, the rootless flower, as a mild collapse phenomenon, will often appear in the surrounding environment.

Compared to the rootless flower, the demonic collapse body is what is truly worthy of attention. The existence of these non-human creatures violates the physical laws of Terra.

If one wants to understand the devil, one must abandon common sense and establish a new scientific system based on the subspace, which is extremely difficult.

After the meeting and conversation, Roy, as the host, invited Mariam and his students to have lunch together to experience the special cuisine of Kazdel.

Muirseth exchanged contact information with several young and lovely juniors, sat among them enthusiastically, and recommended several restaurants and gift shops worth visiting.

Before the expedition departed, the colleagues would stay in Kazdel for a while. As a senior, it was natural for Muirseth to look after the new colleagues.
