Ultra: Dragon Sword Journey

Zhao Ming stared intently at the information about the artificial sun sent by Zong Fang, which introduced various aspects of the artificial sun project in detail.

The artificial sun project is a vital part of the Mars atmosphere transformation plan. Its main purpose is to provide Mars with sufficient and suitable light to ensure that the plants planted on the Mars base can survive, thereby gradually changing the environment of Mars.

Successfully placing an artificial sun into Mars orbit is no easy task, as any mishap could lead to unpredictable and serious consequences. To ensure safety, TPC decided to first place it on Jupiter for testing before launching it to Mars.

In parallel with the artificial sun project, the Ice City, an underwater base in Antarctica, has been completed and is now operational. It was built by TPC specifically to combat the increasingly severe greenhouse effect.

The Antarctic region has an extremely important impact on the Earth's climate system, so TPC pays close attention to and records every slight change in Antarctica.

In this way, if any abnormal situation occurs, they can take timely measures to better protect the Antarctic glaciers to resist the impact of the greenhouse effect.

To achieve this goal, the base has installed advanced seawater cooling equipment, which can effectively slow down the melting of the glaciers. Although it cannot completely stop the melting of the glaciers, it can play a significant role in delaying it.

After Zhao Ming packed up the things on the table, he was ready to leave. He stared at Liang and Camilla and said earnestly: "You two should stop worrying about trivial matters. The real thing is to do the work here well." After that, he immediately turned around and left.

Zhao Ming reunited with Koda and Nakajima from the Super Victory Team, as well as Mai, who had never been on a mission before, and boarded the Kulak callsign. In the deep, pitch-black darkness of outer space, two aircraft, representing the most advanced technology from the TPC New Frontier Project, floated in the vastness of the universe.

At that moment, through the porthole of Kulak, callsign NF-3000, a magnificent scene unfolded before his eyes. A silvery spherical satellite, three to four hundred meters long, with a large and a small spherical structure at its ends, was moving in the direction of Mars' orbit.

It is the TPC artificial sun No. 1 experimental machine NSP Campanella, a pearl representing the light of hope for mankind.

"Senior, Koda, all the induction commands for the artificial sun have been input." In front of the communication station with the call sign of the mobile fortress Kurak, Mai raised her head and reported with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are worthy of being the computer genius beauty of the Super Victory Team. You arrived twelve hours ahead of schedule. It seems that my crab meal was not in vain!" Zhao Ming teased with a smile on his face as he looked at Mai.

"Oh...it's actually okay!" Mai's cheeks flushed as she was praised by Zhao Ming and she lowered her head shyly. The little girl who used to be a crazy fan of stars has now grown up and is gradually blooming with charming brilliance.

"Well... our mission is completed, and the rest will be left to the Mars base!" Koda breathed a sigh of relief, and the mission of docking with the artificial sun was finally successfully completed.

Just as everyone was preparing to use the Kulak call sign to return to Earth, Zhao Ming suddenly sensed a strong, rapidly moving wave of biological energy. He hurriedly looked out the porthole and saw a streak of white light, trailing a long flame, rapidly descending towards the South Pole.

"What is that? Is it the same cosmic ray that appeared in Shuliang Lake last time?" Koda, Nakajima, and Mai looked outside with suspicion following Zhao Ming's gaze. However, the light disappeared in a flash at such a speed that they didn't even have time to see its specific appearance clearly.

Zhao Ming's brows were tightly furrowed, his eyes fixed on the disappearing light, able to see through the dark void and the secret hidden in it.

"I just sensed a strong biological energy fluctuation in that ball of light. This is definitely not ordinary cosmic rays." His voice was low and serious. "Perhaps another intelligent life form from the universe is trying to descend upon Antarctica to cause trouble."

Zhao Ming's words made the other three people's faces become solemn. They all knew that the emergence of intelligent life forms in the universe often meant a huge crisis.

"I've just seen the other party's appearance clearly. It's a giant octopus-like creature with a large number of purple tentacles. I guess this should be a biological weapon used by cosmic life forms to invade."

Zhao Ming acted decisively and immediately picked up the communicator to contact the Super Victory Team command center: "Feiniao, listen to me, immediately notify Captain Xibi and the Black Storm Team's Xincheng to issue a Level 2 alert order.

We must understand the purpose of that strange biological weapon. From now on, disconnect all automated network facilities and switch to manual operation. Also, contact the police officers at the Antarctic submarine base and have them remain on high alert. If they detect any unusual movement, they will take immediate action without waiting for orders.

"Understood!" Fei Niao immediately took action.

As Zhao Ming gave the order, the atmosphere within the Kulak callsign instantly grew tense. Nakajima gripped the joystick tightly as he sped toward Earth, his finger firmly on the weapon button, ready to respond to any unexpected situation.

"Senior, do you suspect that the other party might want to control the invasion of TPC main computer through the network of the Antarctic Ice City Base?" Mai asked with a hint of doubt in her voice when she heard Zhao Ming issue an automatic order to cut off all external networks.

"The enemy is emitting a powerful biological energy. It's either a giant monster or an invading biological weapon. Although the computer network system is convenient, it is very vulnerable to such a powerful opponent.

I have a feeling their target is that dazzling artificial sun. If that thing falls on Earth, the consequences will be disastrous..."

Nakajima continued to speculate, "They want to melt the ice in the Arctic and Antarctic, raising the sea level and submerging the land where humans live!"

Mai suddenly realized, "No wonder all those large robots and armor you developed are manually operated. I guess this is your last line of defense in case the TPC network system fails!"

Zhao Ming nodded slightly. "Yes, that's exactly what I was thinking. Humanity's current network technology is simply vulnerable to life forms that possess the ability to biologically invade computers."

While everyone was talking, the Kulak callsign quickly approached the ground and flew towards the TPC headquarters.

At this moment, an unknown lifeform crashed into the Antarctic ocean floor, creating a massive splash that instantly expanded and spread outward. The three monitoring personnel remaining in the underwater base, Ice City, were intently watching the surrounding situation from their screens.

Just now, the TPC Police Chief issued a Level 2 alert order, as large life forms descended from space near the Antarctic base.

To make matters worse, a strange tremor suddenly struck the base. Immediately afterwards, the entire base's network system was paralyzed by a powerful force, and all power was suddenly cut off. Furthermore, the seawater cooling system also stopped functioning at the same time.

At that moment, a team of police officers remained stationed at the base of the underground facility in the Antarctic Ice City. Upon receiving the Level 2 alert order, they immediately began patrolling the base, fully armed and armed, maintaining high alert. Their weapons were ready to respond to any possible danger.

However, just as the police officers were patrolling intensively, the base's operating system suddenly lost power without any warning.

Darkness enveloped the entire base. Due to obstructed vision, the two patrolling police officers did not notice that not far behind them, an emerald green half-fish creature was staggering out from the corner.

The appearance of this half-fish creature made the already tense atmosphere even more oppressive. Its eerie figure moved forward in the darkness, its body covered in green scales, its palms and soles sprouting webbed feet, emitting an endlessly eerie aura.

Those orange eyes emitted a strange and terrifying light in the dim corridor below...
