A few days later.
Time [7:33:01] Today's weather: light rain
The snowstorm that had lasted for days finally cleared.
Not a single snowflake remained in sight on the Wasteland.
It was as though they had never appeared at all.
Light rain pattered against the windows with crisp taps.
A pure-white train traveled across the Wasteland.
At that moment, Ye Qiyan was in the Water Storage Carriage.
He looked at the pool of ice-blue liquid before him and nodded in satisfaction.
"Finally done."
The pool contained Ladirien's blood.
Over the past few days, Ye Qiyan had been trying to modify the Water Storage Carriage.
He had bought a few things from the Black Market and the Trading Platform, then performed Ascension on this pool separately before it could finally store the blood.
Eternal Frost could automatically produce one kilogram of blood each day, while the pool held all the blood it had previously absorbed, totaling roughly a thousand kilograms.
Ye Qiyan had done this because he had discovered that the blood's uses went beyond enhancing ice-attribute lifeforms.
It could also serve as a cooling lubricant for the Mechs, and even ensure that they remained unaffected by any external temperatures throughout combat.
This was because Ladirien's blood would automatically regulate their temperature down to freezing point.
As machines, their temperatures would rise again with even the slightest movement.
But to avoid accidents after their temperatures dropped to freezing point outside combat...
Ye Qiyan had used Future Construction to produce several Blueprints built around Ladirien's blood.
Ultimately, he had selected one for Ascension, obtaining a brand-new Armament designed specifically for the Mechs.
