Chapter 1354 Abnormal Contact

Under the guidance of the information sent back by Azarena, the imperial expedition fleet headed by the Winter began to move towards the sea area covered by clouds and mist. As the sun became stronger and the aftermath caused by disorderly turbulence gradually subsided, the The clouds and mist that shrouded the sea gradually dissipated as time passed, and among the thinner and thinner clouds and mist, the "pillar" that seemed to connect the sky and the earth gradually emerged.

Standing on an observation platform at the bow of the Winter, Byron looked at the blue ocean in the distance. In his sight, the "high tower" that had penetrated the clouds and disappeared at the end of the sky was becoming more and more clear. The black shadow, as the sea fog dissipated, it was like a pillar of heaven that fell in front of mortals in myths and legends, pressing down towards this side with a suffocating majestic momentum.

The sound of giant wings beating the air descended from the sky, and the red dragon in mechanical armor flew over from the direction of the tower, hovering over the Winter, and gradually lowered its height, finally accompanied by a loud "bang", Azalena, who had transformed into a human form in mid-air, landed on the "Ting Ji Ping" not far away. The dragon-born lady straightened her long red hair, which was a little messy, and came to Byron briskly: " You see, this stuff..."

"It must have been left by the sailors, and the style is very obvious-this is not something that civilization on our planet can build," Byron said in a deep voice, his eyes resting on the distant sea, "Talrond's The envoys said that the voyager once left three 'towers' on this planet, one of which is located at the North Pole, and the other two are located at the equator, respectively on the sea and on a continent. Our Majesty also mentioned these towers. The matter of the tower... Now it seems that what we have in front of us is the tower located on the equatorial sea."

He paused for a moment, his tone inevitably filled with emotion: "This is really a feat that has never been done before in human history... How far have we deviated?"

"It looks very different from the tower near the mainland of Tarrond," Azalena frowned and looked into the distance, and said thoughtfully, "Although the tower in Tarrond is also very It's high, but at least you can see the top, and you can even fly to the top of it if you are brave enough, but this thing... I tried to fly up for a long time just now, until I reached the limit height that the steel wings can support Still don't see where it ends - it's like the tower goes all the way through the sky."

Byron didn't say a word, just frowned and looked at the tall tower in the distance—the Winter was still moving in that direction, but the tower still seemed far away, and its scale was far beyond human comprehension So much so that even now, he can't see the whole picture of the base of the tower: nearly two-thirds of the "Island of Steel" is still below sea level.

But as the fleet approached the sea area where the tower was located, he noticed that the surrounding environment had begun to undergo some changes.

The waves were becoming finer and smoother than in other places, the color of the water was beginning to lighten, the wind on the sea was weakening, and these changes became more and more obvious as the Winter continued to advance, and when he could almost see the high When he saw the whole picture of the "Island of Steel" under the tower, the whole sea area was as calm as the small pond behind his house.

This is an unimaginable environment in the ever-changing sea, but here... I am afraid that this sea area has maintained such a state in the past ten thousand years.

"Where was the most you got close to just now?" Byron turned his head and looked at Azalena, "Didn't you land on that island or touch that tower?"

"I'm not a fool like you," the red-haired Dragon Seal Witch shook her head immediately and said, "I just flew around a few times, and I haven't entered the range of that island recently. But as far as I know Observe, there should be something 'alive' in that tower and the island under the tower - I saw moving mechanical structures and some lights, and there seemed to be something moving in the relatively shallow water at the edge of the island. "

"...It is normal for the sailor's things to run up to now,

"Byron touched his chin and muttered, "According to the legend of the silver elves, the original elves in ancient times fled from the land of their ancestors and crossed the endless ocean to the continent of Loren. Those who escaped the storm in the tower, and were "cursed" because they recklessly entered the "forbidden zone" in the tower, and became a large number of elf subspecies today... His Majesty mentioned these legends to me, and he thought that what the elves encountered at that time was sailing The tall tower left by the survivors, now it seems... probably the one in front of us. "

"Then we have to be more careful, this tower is very likely to react to the creatures that enter it - the differentiation and degeneration of the original elves sounds like some kind of drastic genetic information change," said Azalena With a solemn face, as a dragon seal witch, she has the duty of "keeping knowledge and inheriting memory" in the Holy Dragon Principality. The scholar said, "It is said that the towers left by the voyagers on the surface of the planet have different functions. The tower in Tarrond is a 'matrix factory'. The tower in front of us may be related to the ecology of the planet..."

The tower was at last near.

The majestic giant tower was supported between the sky and the sea. It was not until they reached the base of the tower that the officers and soldiers of the fleet realized what kind of colossal monster it was. It was larger in scale than the tower in Tarrond. It is also more complicated, and the base of the giant tower is also larger. The shadow of the tower cast on the sea can even cover the entire fleet—under this huge shadow, even the Winter is set off like a piece of land. sampan.

"How is it? Do you want to go up and explore?" Azalena glanced at Byron next to her, "It's hard to find this thing, so you can't just go around and go? But it may be risky, it's best to be cautious act..."

"I'm used to risks, and nothing is smooth along the way," Byron shrugged, "We need to gather some intelligence, but you're right, we have to be cautious—after all, this is the voyage The leftovers..."

"Then send a small boat to go there first? I observed that there are some extended structures on the edge of the steel island that can serve as docks, just enough to dock mechanical boats. I will send a few dragonborn warriors to provide support for the exploration team from the air."

Byron thought for a while, and was about to nod his head in agreement, but a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Wait, let's go and have a look first."

Byron turned his head and saw Ms. Cassandra, the siren navigator with a tear mole on the corner of her eye, "walking" this way, swinging her long snake tail. Behind her were two other sirens. Byron's sight, this "deep sea ally" who has been working with the Imperial Fleet since Beigang, smiled on his face: "We can start exploring below the surface of the sea, and then go to the island to check the environment. If we encounter danger, we can also It is much more convenient for you humans to retreat directly into the sea than to run."

As she said that, she looked back at the two sea monsters she had brought with her, with a proud look on her face: "And anyway, we can't die easily..."

Byron subconsciously picked up the second half of the sentence: "...just do it to death?"

"Almost the same meaning," Cassandra poked her waist, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the conversation, "Our sea monsters are a race that is very good at exploring. It's a shame to die..."

Byron thought about it and was persuaded on the spot.

A moment later, with a few plops, Cassandra and the two Siren exploration team members who are said to have "rich experience in exotic exploration and violent death" jumped into the sea, and a few ripples quickly disappeared on the water surface , the figures of the three ladies who were as nimble as fish quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

And the seabed scene in the shallow water area near the sky-reaching giant tower was transmitted back to the control center of the Winter along with the magic net terminal carried by Cassandra.

In the picture sent back, Byron saw that they first crossed a sloping seabed covered with gravel and black fine sand. On the seabed, some agile and small creatures could be seen fleeing in all directions due to the appearance of intruders. , Immediately afterwards, there is a "dividing mountain" with obvious artificial traces. The gentle seabed stops abruptly in front of that dividing line. , as well as the giant pipes and pillars buried deep in the canyons, which may have been deeply nailed into the earth's crust.

Under the sea level, the base of the giant tower has a more exaggerated and amazing "basic structure" than the part exposed on the sea surface.

This scene lasted for a while, and then began to move upwards obliquely. The sunlight shining from the sea penetrated the thin sea water, and moved around the three siren explorers like a floating aurora. They found An alloy ramp slanted deep into the seabed, like a pipeline, and then a light flashed on the screen, and Cassandra floated to the surface of the sea, climbed up the steel island, and began to move towards the direction of the tower.

"We have already landed on the island, General Byron," the voice of the siren lady came from outside the screen at this time, "Many facilities here are obviously still in operation, we just saw moving lights and mechanical structures, and In some areas you can still hear the hum from the building - but other than that it's 'quiet', no dangerous ancient guards and traps... Seriously, it's better than we were back home The tower found on that continent to the south is much safer."

Sirens once explored the southern seas of Antaveen in ancient times, and found a primitive continent full of dangerous ancient machines wandering everywhere, and on that continent stood the voyagers who stayed on this planet It is the third "tower" on the tower, and it is also the tower that Gawain Cecil climbed seven hundred years ago. Byron also knew something about this matter, so he didn't have any special reaction at this time, but asked very seriously: "Are there any biological traces on the island?"

"Yes—although the entire 'island' is made of alloy, you can still see a lot of signs of life in the wet area near the coast, with silted algae and small creatures living in the crevices... oh, I also saw it A seabird! There may be other natural islands nearby... Otherwise, the seabirds would not be able to fly so far. This is probably its temporary resting place?"

Byron breathed a sigh of relief: There are these signs of life, which shows that the vicinity of the giant tower is not a "dead place" where life is cut off. At least outside the tower, ordinary creatures can survive for a long time.

After all...the sea monster is a special race. These deep-sea salted fish that cannot die are not comparable to ordinary creatures in the material world. No matter how lively they are around the giant tower, Byron dare not use it as a reference...

Cassandra led the two subordinates and continued to move towards the high tower. The strong sunlight in the equatorial region shone on the three sea monsters. The scales on the tails of the two Kraken explorers were glowing with strong sunlight, and the faint water vapor was transpiring around them.

"...won't it be dried fish?" Azalena suddenly said worriedly, "I see their heads are smoking..."

"Don't worry, Ms. Azalena," Cassandra's voice came out of the communicator immediately, "In addition to exploring and dying, my sister and I also have a lot of experience in drying out, we know how to Avoid drying out in strong sunlight... we have a lot of experience with condensation and rainfall."

Azalena Byron: "..."

What strange experiences do these deep-sea salted fish have? !

After a long journey of exploration, Cassandra and the two sisters she led finally came to the connection between the giant tower and the base—a seamless alloy ring structure connected the tower body and the base. The steel island below, and around and above the ring structure, you can see a large number of subsidiary connecting corridors, ramps and structures that seem to be entrances.

"Now we have come to the main part of this tower," Cassandra said to the portable magic net terminal hanging on her chest, and at the same time stepped forward and knocked on the huge alloy ring—due to its astonishing scale, To Cassandra, the side of the ring was like a towering arc-shaped metal barrier. "So far, no danger has been found..."

The siren lady stopped abruptly in the middle of her words. She stared dumbfounded at the place where her fingers struck, and saw layers of light blue halos spreading rapidly on the piece of silver-white metal!

"Deep sea! This thing is glowing!"

...

At the same time, in Cecil City, Gawain, who had finally dealt with the affairs at hand, was about to take a short rest in the easy chair in the study, but a voice suddenly sounded in his mind made him bounce off the chair:

"Sensing that the local intelligent organisms contact the lower structure of the orbital elevator of the orbital space station, the preprocessing process starts, the safety protocol 766, the detection-elemental life, the sequence is abnormal, mild and harmless.

"Transfer to process B-5-32, the system remains silent for the time being, waiting for further contact."

Gao Wen jumped directly from the easy chair to the ground, stood there dumbstruck, only one sentence hovered in his mind repeatedly:

What the hell?

After standing still and reacting for a few seconds, he finally realized where the voice in his head was coming from—the guard system of Sky Station!

In the next second, Gao Wen quickly returned to the easy chair and found a stable position to lie down. Immediately afterwards, he quickly concentrated and connected to the monitoring system of the sky station. After a little adaptation and adjustment, he began to move " "Line of sight" moved towards the orbital elevator connecting the space station with the surface of the planet...
