It Is Alive

"New material low-temperature testing... Oh, I forgot about this. I only did half of it. Later, I need to put it outside to test its low-temperature fatigue resistance."

"Let me see, where's the experimental vat...?"

Magellan turned around, only to see Bai Ye holding the experimental vat out to her.

"Is this it?"

"The outer pocket was at minus forty-three degrees Celsius for six hours, and it still retained its elasticity."

Muttering to herself, Magellan placed the material into the experimental container.

"There are actually quite a lot of supplies here... Self-heating food, dehydrated vegetables... and canned fruit. Let me take a look at this... Dried beast meat? Huh!"

While helping Magellan look for the experimental vat, Bai Ye had noticed the supplies piled up around the station and bent down to inspect them curiously.

He had not expected the reserves to be so abundant.

On the desolate polar icefield, a camp stocked full of supplies could indeed bring people a sense of security and satisfaction. There was no doubt about that.

"Hehe, Bai Ye, I can't possibly use up all these supplies by myself. They were prepared so that the people living at this observation station could hold out until next year's research season!"

"Ahem, at the moment, I'm the only one willing to come here... This is my job—the entire Northern Icefield." There was no pride in Magellan's expression, as
