The Arctic oil and gas field at 78 degrees 53 minutes north latitude and 12 degrees 55 minutes east longitude is a large-scale oil and gas exploration base built by China in the Arctic in 2030.

The Arctic is rich in oil and gas resources. In fact, the Arctic region has 90 billion barrels of oil reserves, 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 44 billion barrels of liquid natural gas in proven resources.

Although this is a huge natural energy reserve, most of the concentrated exploitable areas are located offshore, making extraction very difficult. The countries that are truly capable of exploiting it can be counted on one hand.

Now, although mankind's demand for oil is not as great as before, its derivatives and relatively clean natural gas resources are still pursued by energy groups.

Especially in the cold northern areas, people need more natural gas to resist the cold. In this case, seizing oil and gas resources in the Arctic has become a top priority, otherwise people will freeze when they come...

China's oil and gas base is located in the Spitsbergen Islands in Norway. According to the "Arctic Development Agreement" signed in the 1930s, some countries with outstanding technological capabilities and strong comprehensive strength have obtained the territory they want.

What I didn't expect is that instead of declining in status, it has become a place of refuge after disaster strikes...

While China's interstellar fleet is doing its best to ensure the immigration to Mars, it also allocates part of its strength to the construction of a refuge in the Arctic.

The speed of transporting bulk supplies by land is still too slow. They need to ensure that there are a sufficient number of campsites for people to use after these supplies arrive at their destination. The mission of Starfleet is to build campsites as quickly as possible.

The A-class space capsule used by Starfleet to land on strange planets has been slightly modified to be able to cope with the harsh weather in the Arctic. It is the main building used to build campsites.

After a day of technical verification, the rear began to use the powerful transportation capabilities of Starfleet to continuously transport the main structure of the space capsule to the new base.

The new base was named "Dragon", which represents that this is China's sphere of influence.

In the Arctic continent, the power of various countries and organizations has never been as dense as it is today. Neighbors are simply distinguished by a line. On this line, military patrols from the two countries are often encountered.

This has created a phenomenon where two countries that might not have been able to hit each other with eight poles now have to be wary of each other's people crossing the border.

On the second day of the Global Security Council, the Arctic continent began to become lively. The immigrants had not yet arrived, but the advance troops and construction teams responsible for early warning work had begun to settle in.

Especially around oil and gas bases, various countries have deployed heavy security forces, because in a few days on earth, there will be very few places that can continue to produce energy products, and the Arctic is the last energy fortress.

"Lieutenant Gutayev, I heard that your armed patrol had another dispute with the patrol of the island country? Yesterday it was France in the northeast, and today it is the island country. It was very lively."

The speaker was Ivan Nizhkov, the patrol leader of the first area of ​​the Russian Bear Country Arctic Base. He had just led his soldiers back, compared to the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero outside.

The patrol station in the campsite is much warmer, and there is fragrant black tea here.

"I get angry just talking about it. The area you are responsible for is more comfortable. The patrol line borders China. They have almost no patrols. Just go through the motions."

"Ha, that's just the surface. There are no soldiers like you and me, but they are patrolling with robots, and their eyes are so poisonous that even if you pee on the patrol line, you can't drift over to them.

Otherwise, the unmanned patrol boats in the air will fly in the next moment, and in three minutes at most, the robot guards on the ground will follow.

Robots are not easy to mess with, and they still treat you with kindness? Three warnings are followed by a warning shot.

We are currently patrolling more than ten meters away from the dividing line, does this count as a proactive show of goodwill?"

After Ivan finished speaking, he shook his head. It was not their own initiative to retreat. This order came from the base headquarters. They can fight with anyone, except China.

The soldiers also knew the reason. In today's world, even the former United States and the Ringland Alliance had to bow their heads when meeting them, not to mention the Russian Bear Country, which had already withdrawn from the stage of competition for hegemony.

"Come and take a look at the reconnaissance footage from the high-altitude unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. What the hell is this? Has China built such a large number of barracks in half a day?"

Ivan did not reply. He looked at the screen of the portable drone control terminal, which displayed the project progress of several countries around the dividing line.

While other countries are busy unloading building modules, China has already neatly built a large space capsule ranging from 40 to 80 square meters in a square array of tofu blocks that is easy to identify.

"Is this weird? If you ask me, we and other countries that are suffering should hand over all these projects to China. Our infrastructure capabilities are not at the same level.

And you see..."

As Ivan spoke, he controlled the drone to lock onto a space capsule and then focused on it. Details about the space capsule quickly emerged.

"Did you see it? This is a space capsule. It is originally a multi-purpose residential capsule composed of modules such as a radiation-mimetic lining and a thermal insulation outer layer. It is much more advanced than our simple cabin."

"What is this? Every space capsule has a solar cell sail wing? Isn't this a bit luxurious? There is only half a year of sunshine here every year."

Gutayev is very interested in China's infrastructure. His favorite thing after patrolling is to control this high-altitude drone to "peep" at Chinese military facilities and the buildings inside the Arctic base.

"It should be a standard facility for the space capsule. Wouldn't it come in handy when there is light? Their oil and gas collection base already has a nuclear fusion power plant.

This evacuation base only needs to set up transmission lines.

People are so infuriating, and energy is probably overflowing for them. When the day comes, they can sell the electricity to other countries.

You see, all their work is in an orderly manner. The interstellar fleets in the landing area are following each other. This coordination ability is so strong! A country has been laying out space all year round and the terrifying capabilities formed after building outer space bases are deployed at this time.

It comes in handy..."

"Um..."

Gutayev and Ivan began to flatter each other without reservation. Even though there were no Chinese people in the room, they still enjoyed it.
