Chapter 834 Another Form of Burning
Kane does not believe in gods.
Moreover, even if you believe in a god, its divine power is not simply transformed by the power of faith.
The power of faith, or a special type of spiritual energy with the same frequency, is always used as a power to control extraordinary power. God uses it to create divine power, part of which is used to feed back to believers, and part of it is reserved for personal use. This is also an industrial operation.
In any case, using divine power consumes extraordinary energy.
So when Kane decided to use divine power to face the current battle situation, the Xeon AI told him directly after the calculation that if he used it wastefully, the reserve of supernatural power would be lower than the warning value in a few hours. If you don't withdraw, you will be in danger.
As far as Kane's large fleet is concerned, it is still relatively expensive.
Although it was completed in a few days, these few days were laid out in the first 90 days of the third hundred-day rest.
The magic industry has not yet started, so it can only produce ordinary energy. If the fleet is destroyed, if he wants to rebuild it, he will have to rest for a hundred days.
The problem is that the law card system is a pure supernatural power operation, which consumes a lot of energy. If it is rebuilt, it will definitely aggravate the problem of supernatural energy, which has a large gap.
The conservation of energy determines that if he can't go all out or take down Dark Cybertron in a short period of time, then his opponent should be able to use various methods to collect the energy lost on Dark Cybertron.
This can be seen from the fact that Dark Cybertron only has pure metal.
Other substances can probably be converted into energy or useful materials by the other party. Kane guessed that the other party probably has something like a "chaos furnace", which is more like a salary king than him.
Moreover, he can no longer return to the main material plane, nor can he go to the inner plane. The astral world is similar to the depths of space, but the specifics are different. Generally speaking, it is more dangerous. Once lost, he will fall into a similar star cluster or a star cluster In the void of millions of light-years in between, not to mention how difficult it is to come back without special means and energy for the return trip, even if you can come back, the years have passed.
The time flow rate of the outer plane is different from that of the main material plane. It can be said that the more chaotic the side, the greater the difference in time flow rate, and sometimes even time blind spots appear, where time has no meaning. You feel that you have stayed for a short while, but for the main material plane, it may be tens of thousands of years.
This is another reason why Kane loves Dark Cybertron. Here, he has the highest time synchronization rate with the main material plane.
So the situation Kane is facing now is also quite embarrassing. Before he came, his abacus had already been played very loudly. He tried not to use extraordinary energy, so he used the energy sea on the scientific side to explode, and the nuclear fusion kept washing. Thinking about losing in terms of output and quantity, the extraordinary power is mainly used to maintain the equipment, and it is hard to be exhausted by the opponent's infinite puppets. This is really a dog.
However, Kane finally decided to use divine power.
It's not for venting, but to completely hammer the slaughter value of this operation.
Just as he needs superhuman strength, energy is also of high and low grades to his enemies.
Kane estimated that the evil energy that eroded the mechanical monster was the other party's extraordinary energy.
This kind of energy can only be accumulated naturally, and cannot be converted through ordinary means. At least the nuclear fusion energy thrown by him cannot be converted into extraordinary energy. For other elements, the energy of the optical science side is not enough.
Therefore, how many mechanical monsters are killed is not the point, but how many are purified.
He can also take the opportunity to recycle some waste. The mechanical monster also has three strange substances. Although it is a negligible trace amount, it can still make up some when the quantity is up.
Generally speaking, whenever he initiates a military operation, he must have a beginning and an end. At worst, if he fights him for ten or eight years, he will be able to kill the opponent after all.
After all, he also used extraordinary power in battle. If the expenditure of each war is greater than the harvest, it is very likely that the opponent will be completely revived.
The reason why he said this is that Kane believes that with the strength of the opponent, he did not go around making troubles, but has been embarrassed in such a cold and dead place like Dark Cybertron. It is not unwilling but unable. It should be trapped here up!
The opponent's situation is like this, so it is natural to take advantage of the illness to kill him, not just to kill the opponent inattentively, and finally help the opponent out of trouble.
You must know that the other party is dark-oriented, and he can't guarantee that the other party will not be able to use tricks like the death painter to draw special two by killing death.
As for how the opponent turned into a life-and-death enemy, to put it bluntly, it was the choice of the camp. He is order, and the opponent is chaos, and Dark Cybertron, which he regards as the foundation of the next step, cannot but argue.
Kane was standing on the Sword Throne of the Mystic Fort to use his divine power. His divine power looked like the light of a furnace, but it also revealed the sacred characteristics of holy light. On the whole, this divine power was like a super huge drop Water droplets precipitated and fell from the bottom of the Mystic battleship.
When it fell, it was like a torch falling into a sea of oil, a blazing flame appeared, and then spread rapidly, illuminating the inside of the cage made up of mechanical puppets in a short period of time, and turning everything in sight into a sea of flames.
The holy flame is blazing, and the mechanical monsters contaminated with this flame will be ignited, then scurry wildly in the burning, and finally fall into the sea of flames.
More mechanical monsters were ignited, and they were so dense that the situation of passive fire transmission became more and more severe.
Seeing that the cage was about to collapse into a heap of hot ashes, the mechanical monsters began to kill each other. Anyone who was ignited became the target of the attack. The mechanical monsters also had the ability to strike from a long distance. The energy shooters were a minority, and most It is a throwing weapon, which is very powerful, and sometimes it can directly cut the target into two pieces.
With the organized and comprehensive massacre, the situation of being spread fire was finally suppressed.
At the same time, Kane has sent engineering ships and supply ships down into the sacred sea of flames to collect purified metals.
The ships are facing the metal lake melted by high temperature, and temperature control is a basic ability for these ships and the workers on them. After all, they will be Kane's servants from a certain angle.
The ship is moored in the flaming metal lake, extracts the liquid metal, condenses it into a standard unit of metal ingot, then packs it, and stuffs it into the space folding warehouse.
Not only engineering ships and supply ships, but also other ships can hold a lot. When the ammunition is fired, there will naturally be space.
And it can also be sent to the main material world through the space door in the ship.
As far as the material universe is concerned, metals are relatively rare in general. Under the background that energy is basically not considered, the account can still be settled by dumping such resources through space gates.
The most important thing is that if these purified metals cannot be taken away, they will be corroded by evil energy. Considering the opponent's ability to absorb energy and use materials, Kane decided to try not to leave opportunities for the opponent. This is his 'tail'.
There were no miracles in this war in the end. Kane's fleet finally retreated due to insufficient extraordinary energy, and the amount of metal transported and taken away was calculated in billions of tons.
Deep in the dark core of Cybertron, someone seemed to be able to see the still burning lake of liquid metal through the thick layers of metal mantle.
After a little calculation, he came to the conclusion that if there were no accidents, within five years, he would exhaust his last strength and be killed by the opponent.
He smiled, as if death were a trivial matter to him. In fact, being able to face the end with a semblance of rationality is indeed not a bad ending in his opinion.
He looked at the companion stars of the Dark Cybertron again, those huge cold metal objects that used to be battleships, the battleships he commanded.
"It's really a nostalgic time. I haven't thought of these memories for a long time. It seems that I am indeed going to die. This can be regarded as a flashback"...
Kane's large fleet arrived in the Silent Wilderness after withdrawing from Dark Cybertron.
If Dark Cybertron is compared to 12 points, Silent Wilderness is 1 point.
If Dark Cybertron is compared to the lawful neutral Mechland, then the Silent Wilderness is a lawful neutral and good Xanadu.
It's just that the outer plane has been completely eroded, and without the good land, the silent wilderness has been reduced to ghosts and monsters.
Kane knew that the outer plane was like the skin of the human body. A person's physical condition, the color, elasticity, and gloss of the skin were the dominant judgment criteria.
So looking at the situation on the outer planes, one can roughly know the degree of erosion of this universe.
The Silent Wilderness is neither silent nor peaceful, but at least Kane can still understand the things and phenomena here.
First of all it is a platform.
Well, that's the only way to describe it. There is no soil or anything, and it has been occupied by organic roots. These sticky roots look like earthworms. The number and length of them cannot be measured, and they are just like that. Pile up there, and keep wriggling, making people feel that the whole earth is alive.
As for the sky, it is in a slight smog state, and there is even oxygen here, but breathing here will make people feel like they are always sniffing farts. The compound odor is not suitable for detailed description, otherwise it will cause discomfort.
When the fleet appeared here, thick 'braids' protruded from the ground, giving a warm welcome.
These tentacles woven by a large number of organic roots obviously want to wrap up the battleship, and then pull it down from the air.
Without any hesitation, Kane offered a plasma fireball as a welcome gift.
The existence of air makes the shock wave of the nuclear explosion amazingly powerful here, and the result of a large number of explosions is like countless feet stepping into the muddy ground, stinky juice and broken organic roots splash around, and with the shock wave, it is like a surging tide. General spread scrolling.
Kane darkened his face and closed his eyes.
This septic tank + maggot pit is disgusting even for someone as knowledgeable as him. The thought of staying here for a long time to come, and waiting for the supernatural energy to replenish, makes him feel sick.
Those big braid-like root tentacles were blown off, and after a period of silence, new root tentacles were born, and continued to trouble the ship.
And the Grand Fleet can always give a strong counterattack to this.
In this way, every once in a while, the fleet needs to use the method of nuclear cleansing to obliterate a wave of organic roots, and these special life forms seem to be endless, and it will not take long for another batch to grow. The dropped tentacles and juices are also absorbed. Transformed into nutrients that nurture organic roots.
"That's it first." The Fire of the Salary King remained simmering at the source of the fire, and then Kane fell into a deep sleep.
The light source in the hall of the Sword Throne is dim, and there is only limited lighting left, and it still emits a faint coldness.
Correspondingly, the large fleet has also started a rotation system. Most of the ships have fallen into a state of silence, leaving only a part to continue working and fighting. More than half of the battleships are active. They are as busy as hummingbirds. Guard the fleet and attack the Promise Root tentacles that will grow over time.
On the main material plane, an earth-like planet, Kevin Fox, who was accompanying the pregnant Jenny, looked up at the gray-blue sky and smiled slightly.
After all, he was born out of Kane and has a certain connection with Kane. Kane fell asleep, he felt it.
As far as this world is concerned, Kane has been away for more than two months, and the time has entered the second half of December, and the winter in the northern hemisphere is icy and cold.
Kevin still lives in Metropolitan Falls—in the area where the metropolis used to be very expensive, after the high-rise buildings were blown up by the Catholic Poison Tide, the ruins were just removed, and the main view of Falls was artificially restored. It was imitated, and residents were arranged, just to please Jenny and Lana.
Jenny, who is advancing towards the age of 40, insists on having a child, and now she has one, 4 months pregnant. Kevin did not participate in any government affairs or war anymore, he just lived an ordinary life under the name of a doctor.
Of course, his life like this is not common at all in this era. In the world, including the families of superhuman forces, there will never be more than 30,000 families who can live this kind of life.
The only major event in Huo Prison Lingling recently is that it has stopped absorbing foreign population. The total population has just exceeded 150 million, and it has an official name - Investigator Number.
'Fire Prison Collar' is a nickname given by the world. Kane never said that this is the correct name of this land. Now that it has it, it means that its nature has been officially defined.
To say it is a country is better to say that it is a special ark named 'Investigator' to commemorate Kane's first job after he came to this world.
It is almost ready, and before February of the new year, it will go to Lagrange Point and become the first official space city.
As for Hengyue Space City, it is just a functional large-scale space base station in comparison.
Time passed quickly, and it seemed that in just a blink of an eye, it was the right day. The twelve stargates manufactured by Kane in the first stage (before ascension) were all in place, and together formed a land in the air that could accommodate 200,000 square kilometers. super ring.
Under the action of the super magic circle composed of the magic obelisk system, the Investigator rose from the ground at a speed of 4 meters per second. When it was pulled up to about 15 kilometers from the sea level, the superstructure began to enter the star The energy curtain of the door suddenly increased by a few points.
Its final thickness was set at 97 kilometers, making the entire Investigator look like a thick, irregular cake.
When it appeared at the Lagrangian point, the bottom had completely cooled down, and apart from the oversized magic symbol, it did not have a planetary-level propulsion device.
However, the space for relevant internal facilities has been reserved long ago. At the Lagrange point, the super engineering frame is also on standby. As soon as it arrives, it will climb over like the scaffolding of a building.
These engineering racks are made of metal from Dark Cybertron, and people have given it a more understandable name, Super Dock.
The departure of the Investigator is not the end, it will be considered the end only after the planets that have lost tens of trillions of tons are replenished at one time.
The filling is mainly mineral meteorites from the asteroid belt. After being mined, the empty shell collapses and becomes a landfill.
After the Investigator left, the border area was still constrained by a super-large magic circle. There was no seawater intrusion or mud and rock collapse, but a chilling huge abyss of fire remained.
It is an unconventional phenomenon that meteorites are continuously poured and melted. After all, even if a simple fire pit has temperature and no high pressure, meteorites will not easily become lava so quickly.
At the end of the filling, the barrier on the other side of the sea was finally released, and the seawater poured in like a super waterfall, cooling the fire pit, and a large amount of water vapor rose, causing heavy rain and snowfall all over the world.
As a result, the world's deepest ocean abyss was formed here, with an average depth of 35,000 meters, and the global sea level dropped by 2.6 centimeters.
The departure of the Investigator and the formation of the Great Abyss are a staged end for Kane. It was later called the Torch Age. Those who joined the Fire Prison Leader in this era and eventually went to live at Lagrange Point are called fire chasers.
For a long time, the fire chasers have left the right and wrong pit of the earth-like world. People don't know what the fire chasers are busy with, and they don't care about it. After all, people are still struggling in the vortex of the extraordinary crisis .
When there was news of the fire chaser again, it had been many years, and it was a big, big move. At that time, we felt even more alienated from each other. It felt like watching aliens. Some people jokingly called them Martians, and then called them open up.
The Investigator is one of the key points of Kane's second phase of the grand plan. The era of magic industry will be opened by them.
Kane's plan is 10 years from personnel training to a sound system, to the stable operation of the society, which is relatively fast, but with a series of advanced magical technologies, people can continue to study and live in the virtual world even if they are physically resting. The available time is almost doubled, that is, 20 years. He thinks that the problem is not too big. If you work harder, you will not be left behind by too fast changes.
With the Investigator in place, the center of gravity of the space industry chain has also shifted to it. On the side of the Earth-like planet, the power system is getting weaker and weaker. It’s not like giving up. After all, Kane has designed a technical connection stage for them from the beginning, and this is how they get closer. Even if the extra bonus brought by the extraordinary is aside, the science and technology have at least advanced. 50 years.
A more typical representative is the global satellite network system with the Hengyue space station as the core, which includes GPS positioning, communication, climate adjustment and other projects. It can be regarded as the first "shell" project of a planet. The project completed around 2070 still requires the cooperation of major powers around the world.
After the Investigator left, there was a large abyss, or the Great Bay of California, on the west coast of the Federation.
The Greater California Bay itself does not have many mysterious foreshadowings, but the three cities San Jose, Tijuana, and the emerging Bryce City that used to be the transit point for population imports have all become cities with relatively special properties. Called the City of Embers, or City of Ashes.
The reason why it is called so is naturally because it is close to Zhuzhechi. During the period of absorbing the population of Huo prison collar, it has accepted too much radiation management from Huo prison collar, and gradually has the shadow of Huopao collar management system, combined with the local The situation gradually has its own style, which is obviously different from other human cities.
Another important reason is that when the Investigator left, it did not take all the facilities and industries with it.
For example, the Channel Islands, St. Nicholas, San Clemente, and Santa Catalina. These islands have geothermal metal mixed mines. They extract geothermal heat and use it to obtain hydrogen isotopes deuterium and Tritium is the earliest nuclear fuel used in the Fire Prison.
In addition, the use of electromagnetic equipment to obtain metals from lava is also an important industry, which solved more than 60% of the metal gap in the fire prison collar in one fell swoop.
There is also the magic reformed dock system originally established in the metropolis port.
This dock can only build some dual-purpose ships in the atmosphere, which are useless to the Investigator, and they are all left in the end. Like a super large oil drilling platform at sea, standing on the edge of the ocean, it is called Sea Abyss Island.
These facilities are already obsolete for Kane's system, three are not worth two, but for this world, there are not many facilities that are still operating well under the extraordinary crisis, continuously producing products, Naturally, it has enough influence.
So just like some people said with emotion: "The king of salary is gone, but the remaining fires are still there, including those Huoying communities. They have formed a new coalition government. It's not easy either..."
It's really not simple, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the heart of this organization called the Ember Community, Bryce City.
Kane planned to build a super civilian market with the characteristics of the Fire Prison Collar a long time ago, as a window for the Fire Prison Collar to interact with the outside world.
The main reason for having this idea was that he was still some distance away from touching the power ceiling of the highest limit of the main material plane. He didn't know the existence of the gods, and he didn't expect to be able to eat it all, so he made a plan based on at least five or seven years in the main material plane.
Under such a background, after the Fire Prison Leader completes the population absorption, the reception station will be closed, but there is a need to interact with the outside world, so it is necessary for the window city to appear.
He is also aware of his urgency, his management style is too cool and not suitable for invigorating the market, so his window city is a flea market-like large free trading city, both mundane and extraordinary.
It is impossible for this city to be placed in his jurisdiction. After all, the system of the Fire Prison is like that. He is not going to engage in two governances, so it is the outer fringe cities, which is similar to the three. But in fact, he must occupy part of the management authority, so that Maintain self-interest.
After making a plan, it was time to choose a location. I originally planned to arrange it in Las Vegas. After all, the city of Las Vegas is only 40 kilometers away from the border line of the Fire Prison, and the terrain there is not bad.
After thinking about it, forget it, being too greedy for the land will cause a lot of trouble, although he is not afraid, there is no need to make trouble deliberately. In the end, he decided to put the future super civilian market in Bryce City.
From the metropolitan area to the east, there are four international expressways, which are No. 15, No. 40, No. 10 and No. 8 from north to south.
Among them, Highway 10 passes through Bryce, and 150+ kilometers eastward along the way is the famous city of Phoenix in Arizona.
To the east of Bryce is the border of California with the Colorado River as the watershed. The surrounding terrain is open, and it is connected to Ripley and Palo Verde in the south. Surrounded by mountains and the Gobi, it itself relies on the feeding and development of the Colorado River.
Kane finally decided to place the window city here.
But because the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, he flew away before the project was completed, and according to his new order, Bryce became the location of the new industrial park.
The new industrial park, which aggregated and fully upgraded all the secular industrial systems in the original metropolitan area as a concrete embodiment of technological connection, naturally took up the banner of the industrial center of the Ember Community after the Investigator left.
It’s not very big by itself, but don’t forget that the more than 70,000 Huoying communities around the world are equivalent to its branch factories. Also, Kane’s Menzoberranzan City has not left due to technical reasons. Just below the town of True Falls, less than 70 kilometers away from Bryce...
