Zhao Xiaolong directly mentioned another matter: "This time, the greatest contributor to Great Xia's extraction of resources from the Primordial World is Mr. Spirit Crows."

A Yu suddenly realized: "No wonder Mr. Spirit Crows received the Highest National Hero Medal."

Zhao Xiaolong wanted to explain, "Mr. Spirit Crows has made many contributions to Great Xia, and this medal was not just for this one achievement."

But he didn't have a chance to say it.

Because the image on the television screen suddenly switched.

Earlier, it was an endless Arctic Icefield, with cold winds stirring up swirling snow dust.

Now it became an Underground Ice Cave.

The Ice Cave looked spacious and bright, with a diameter of at least ten meters, and its walls were perfectly round.

Two rows of people in cold-resistant suits stood neatly on both sides, forming two long rows.

But none of this attracted the attention of the three children.

They were staring intently at the end of the Ice Cave.

There stood a pale blue light curtain, its surface constantly rippling like water waves.

Zhao Xiaolong couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow!"

Cai Cai asked with a face full of wonder, "What is that?"

A Yu shook his head, "I don't know."

The host's voice floated out, answering their question: "Dear audiences worldwide, the light curtain you see before you is a great miracle of the Canglan Star."

This commentary voice was filled with extreme excitement.

"I am very honored to tell you that this is a portal leading to the Primordial World. Beyond this door is a dangerous place called the Cold Abyss.

"Recently, countless tragedies have occurred on the Arctic Icefield, with tens of thousands of superpower users perishing and hundreds of thousands of civilians losing relatives.

"And the source of this tragedy is the Cold Abyss, illustrating just how terrifying this place is.

"However, today, our top powerhouse, Mr. Spirit Crows, used his powerful supernatural abilities to open this door to the Cold Abyss.

"The Canglan People's understanding, exploration, and even conquest of the Otherworld all begin with the light curtain you are seeing..."

The spirited and vigorous words deeply affected the three children.

The Great Xia people had accomplished something that other countries could not, establishing Great Xia as number one in the world, which filled them with a strong sense of pride.

Hence, all three little faces were brimming with pride.

The host suddenly introduced a twist.

"However.

"According to the information I have, today is just an experiment, primarily aiming to verify the feasibility of cross-border development.

"After this experiment concludes, the development work will temporarily come to a halt.

"It is estimated that in six months, Great Xia will establish a group named 'Cold Abyss Development Enterprise.'

"By that time, Great Xia will officially begin the in-depth development and utilization of various resources in the Cold Abyss."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaolong suddenly understood, "I get it! Today's experiment is an advertisement."

Cai Cai was puzzled, "What does advertisement mean?"

Zhao Xiaolong explained, "I heard from my sister that Great Xia plans to develop the Primordial World with some friendly countries."

A Yu blinked and asked, "Why take other countries along? Great Xia is so powerful; can't we do it ourselves?"

Zhao Xiaolong recalled his sister's words and said, "Other countries must pay a certain price to earn the qualification to join the Cold Abyss Development Enterprise."

Cai Cai glanced at her classmates and praised, "You know a lot."

In fact.

Great Xia's willingness to take other countries along is far more than just an exchange of interests.

Zhao Xiaolong was just a child, and even if Zhao Xiaoying knew something, she wouldn't tell him much.

The deeper significance is that through such cooperative means, countries willing to cooperate with Great Xia will be brought into Great Xia's sphere of influence.

On the other hand.

Countries unwilling to join Great Xia or work with them, like the Carmenia Federation, will face various suppressions, both openly and secretly.

This "recruit some, suppress others" tactic is a method with which the Great Xia people are very familiar.

At this moment.

In the television picture.

The speed at which the halo ripples increased markedly.

Many people quickly gathered and congregated under the halo.

Zhao Xiaolong instinctively sat up straight and, feeling a bit nervous, said, "It looks like it's about to start."

The two girls sat together, even their breathing sped up a touch.

After a few seconds.

The host quickly glanced at his watch and said, "It is estimated that in ten seconds, the first batch of caught fish species from the Cold Abyss will pass through this portal.

"Audiences worldwide, please stay tuned; the Great Xia Expedition Team will appear in front of everyone."

Zhao Xiaolong unconsciously chanted the countdown:

"Ten!

"Nine!

"Eight..."

The two little girls, full of anticipation, followed along in the countdown.

"Seven!

"Six!"

When they counted down to "Two."

The ripples on the light curtain suddenly grew larger.

A brawny man shouted, "Prepare!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Dozens of phantom fish suddenly darted out from the light curtain.

They flew a short distance, shadows turning into physical forms, "thud thud" onto the ice surface.

The three children were completely stunned by this sudden scene.

Their mode of appearance was just too bizarre.

Zhao Xiaolong snapped out of it and shouted, "What big fish!"

The two girls echoed with their exclamations.

"So beautiful!"

"What kind of fish is this?"

The fish that passed through the light curtain were all of the same species, generally over three meters long.

By Canglan People's standards, they were undoubtedly large fish.

Each fish was covered in crystal-like scales, with tail fins trailing several flowing ribbons, appearing exceptionally beautiful.

The host began to excitedly narrate again.

"Audiences around the world, what you are seeing now are fish species native to the Cold Abyss. They are called 'Silver Cold Fish.'

"According to information from the Jiuzhou Legion, Silver Cold Fish are one of the three main fish species of the Cold Abyss."

Along with the narration.

An interesting scene unfolded.

Dozens of Silver Cold Fish seemed to sense a threat, with their bodies rapidly emitting tendrils of cold mist, quickly concealing their forms.

The brawny man shouted again, "Take action!"

A group of already prepared superpower users retrieved metal nets and used their power to throw the nets into the cold fog.

These individuals were experts in the physical element, each one accurately ensnaring several Silver Cold Fish with the nets.

Then.

The superpower users tightened the metal nets, binding the Silver Cold Fish tightly.

The metal nets emitted subtle vibrations, exuding a faint red glow, and the Silver Cold Fish soon fainted, the fog dissipating along with them.

The superpower users quickly hauled the Silver Cold Fish out, placing them into metal containers.

Another group of soldiers rushed over to transport the metal containers away.

The three children felt as if their eyes were opened to a new world.

The magical nature of the Otherworldly fish far exceeded their imagination.

The method used by the Great Xia Expedition Team to catch the fish also captured their undivided attention.

The host continued, "Viewers, the most distinctive feature of Silver Cold Fish is that when threatened, they release extremely low temperature cold qi.

"The mist you saw just now is that low-temperature cold qi, with temperatures reaching startling levels below minus one hundred degrees Celsius.

"In some respects, every Silver Cold Fish from the Cold Abyss can be seen as a mutated lifeform.

"Ordinary means are ineffective against the cold qi, so the Great Xia Expedition Team prepared an alloy metal net infused with 'Fire Crystal.'

"Fire Crystal is a type of primordial matter extracted from the Celestial Mountain, perfect for resisting the extremely low temperature cold qi..."

Soon after.

The light curtain began to ripple once more.

This time, more Silver Cold Fish appeared, numbering over two hundred.

The superpower users methodically cast nets and caught the fish, and shortly thereafter, the second batch of fish was caught cleanly.

The three children watched in excitement.

The host also shouted with great enthusiasm, "Viewers in front of the TV, this is the first time in human history for batch fishing of Otherworldly fish species."
