Chapter 441 New World Science and Technology City
One month later.
Black Tooth Forest, this is an uninhabited area with no markings on the East Wasteland map.
In the dense forest, birds chirped.
But if you look closely, you can find that some birds' feathers on the branches are full of metallic luster.
Not only birds, but also mechanical beetles, mechanical civets, and various bionic animals.
This is the mechanical guard of the base.
A huge human gathering place is under this forest.
The Song family began to plan and build multiple secret bases decades ago, and this "T-11 Chaoyang Base" is one of them.
Now it has the scale of a large underground city.
Now it gathers almost all the cutting-edge mechanical talents in the East Wasteland. This is a base full of technology.
So it now has a new name, called "New World Science and Technology City".
It means that it is different from the technology capital of the decadent old era.
The Science and Technology City is more like a magical steampunk style super mechanical factory.
The city is divided into detailed areas, including planting areas, living areas, production areas, and combat training areas.
Pedestrians wearing external mechanical devices can be seen everywhere.
At this moment, the residential area is located at No. 1002, which is a high-tech apartment.
This is Dong Qi's apartment.
Dong Qi's status in the mechanical city is very special, not only because she is a good friend of Song Can, the head of the Song family, but more importantly, she is already a first-class mechanic in the mechanical field, and she is the first in the training field in the field of mecha combat all the year round.
So Dong Qi has this independent small apartment in the mechanical city.
Ji Xun and Dong Qi have been back to the base for more than half a month, and they have been living here.
At this moment, the whole apartment is flashing with blue magic welding light.
The mechanic's apartment is not only a place to rest, but also a studio.
The apartment is very spacious, enough for thousands of square meters.
But even so spacious, it is densely packed with various equipment and parts.
Various mechanical tools are hung on one wall, and a large number of drawings are fixed on the other wall with thumbtacks. In the room are various large instrument lathes and military-level black technology equipment. There are also special areas for magic equipment and hardcore mechanical workbenches.
The most eye-catching thing is a rusty heavy armor.
Ji Xun recognized this mecha. This is the [Thor Generation], the earliest batch of mechanical armor designed by Dong Qi himself.
Compared to the majestic hunting god armor in the laboratory, this Thor armor is like an antique, simple and dilapidated.
It has long been behind this era.
It is more like a waste that should be put into a furnace and reforged into steel.
But Dong Qi brought it out of Honglou and kept it with him.
Now it is disassembled with steel cables and hung at the most conspicuous entrance of the room to commemorate the time when he embarked on the road of mechanical design.
At this moment, the laboratory is flashing with special welding light.
Dong Qi is wearing a work suit covered with oil, and is concentrating on controlling eight mechanical arms that look like octopus arms to weld a silver arm full of cracks.
This [Spiritual Octopus Mechanical Arm] was made according to the drawings brought out from the other dimension before.
As long as there are drawings, the technical difficulty is not very high, but it is very practical for mechanics.
After Dong Qi came back, he asked the base factory to work overtime to make it, and now it is very easy to use.
On the other side of the room, in the information room separated by glass, Ji Xun was reading various cultivation classics.
Just like in Honglou, the two have become accustomed to this tacit and plain relationship.
Not long after, the welding light disappeared, and a strange black light suddenly flashed in the room.
At the same time, Dong Qi exclaimed in a muffled voice through the protective mask: "Oh my God! Success!"
Ji Xun looked over.
Looking at the isolation chamber, Dong Qi controlled the silver arm to do some simple finger movements.
On the other side, a target made of "Troll Alloy", which is said to be the hardest in the base, was pierced with a fist-sized hole.
Seeing this, even Ji Xun cast a surprised look: "Is it really done?"
Being able to destroy the target means that the black light just now is the dark energy beam that can annihilate everything that he has seen from the mechanical angel.
[Angel Alloy] is completely indestructible. After Dong Qi got the fragments, she was troubled for several days and had no idea how to use them.
But the research on the weapon system of the mechanical angel in the base has achieved certain results. With the [Conceptual Diagram 1.0 of the Mechanical Angel Antimatter Destroyer Device] given by Ji Xun, she had enough technical support and came up with a fantastic idea.
That is to use the fragments as accessories and re-embed them on another mechanical arm with a precise new structure.
Although the spliced mechanical arm is far less stable and powerful than the original one, and cannot completely replicate the functions.
But in theory, it is enough to support the launch of the "dark matter magic cannon", which is enough for now.
She tried repeatedly in the past few days and failed many times.
Dong Qi never gave up.
Just now, a ray of black light shot out from the muzzle, proving that all her efforts were not in vain!
Dong Qi put down the work in her hands and wanted to share the good news with Ji Xun as soon as possible.
She took off her heavy work clothes, revealing her sweaty body, and waved happily through the glass: "Ji Xun, come and see."
Ji Xun also walked out of the data room and came to the workshop.
Dong Qi couldn't hide his excitement, his eyes sparkled, and gave Ji Xun a warm hug: "Ji Xun, did you see that? My repair was successful! Hahaha, I told you, my design is fine! The 'Tesla structure' is completely sufficient to support this energy level of impact."
Ji Xun looked at the pretty face with great joy, hugged the sweaty body, and was also relieved: "Yeah. Qiqi is very powerful."
The two knew what this meant.
The newly designed mechanical arm can just replace one arm of the Hunter God Armor. In this way, Dong Qi's armor can be regarded as a secret weapon that can threaten the top strong.
This means that the current base has real self-protection capabilities.
Even if it really encounters the Titan Armor, it may be able to give the other party a "surprise".
This dark energy artillery is enough to break the protective armor of the Titan Armor.
In addition to being excited, Dong Qi was also a little dissatisfied, and muttered: "Ah, it's a pity that the shattering destroyed the original energy-absorbing structure, and the super-god spell was also damaged a lot. My current understanding is that it cannot be repaired. In this way, the power is very limited. I estimate that even if it is a completely stable finished product, it is at most only twice as powerful as the previous shot. And the energy storage time is still very long, and the frequency of use on the battlefield is greatly limited."
"Hehe."
Ji Xun listened and smiled slightly.
This is purely a flaw in the ointment.
The weapon system on the mechanical angel's arm does not use a pre-energy storage energy module like a battery, but is more like a human card master, drawing energy from the universe at any time.
This real-time energy-absorbing technology relies on special materials and those engraved super-god spells.
Ji Xun has seen the angel's body release the dark matter annihilation cannon before. The energy storage time is also not short, but the power is more than ten times that of the experiment just now.
I don't know how powerful the once complete mechanical angel is.
But even at this experimental level, this is already exaggerated.
Whoever is hit by such a shot will die.
As a mechanic, Dong Qi certainly hopes to solve this problem perfectly.
Since she couldn't solve it herself, she pouted slightly, hugged Ji Xun's neck, and said, "Ah, Ji Xun, what do you think we should do?"
This is intimate coquetry, but also some kind of expectation.
I don't know since when, Dong Qi seemed to have a strange feeling in her heart, as if someone could always bring surprises to the dilemma that she couldn't solve.
Ji Xun shrugged, knowing what she was thinking, and joked, "I'm not as proficient in mechanics as you. If you can't solve it, what can I think of?"
Dong Qi didn't think so, blinked, and a hint of expectation appeared in her eyes, and then said, "Do you think that when your secret method of "Lightless Sun" is high enough, can you solve this problem?"
"This"
Ji Xun hesitated for a moment when he thought of this.
Because in his deduction, Dong Qi's statement is really not impossible.
Before in the different dimension of "Thousands of Armies Besieged City", the high priest of Taren, Nanshen, reminded that the magic secret method of "Lightless Sun" has a very special use.
And at that time, Ji Xun also confirmed that this was the source of the mysterious annihilation power of the mechanical angel.
However, at present, Ji Xun has only touched the surface of "repulsion" when practicing "Lightless Sun", and is far from understanding the principle of "annihilation".
The "dark energy" that can annihilate everything seems to be an element that does not exist in this universe.
Except for the [Dark Matter Crystal] obtained from the remains of the angel's body before, at least Ji Xun has not sensed it anywhere else.
This thought made his mind wander.
Dong Qi looked at Ji Xun's pensive expression, but didn't want to embarrass him, and said with a smile: "Just talking casually. It will be solved later."
As she said, she looked at everything in the studio and Ji Xun in front of her, and said with great pride: "I always feel that I will create a more powerful battle armor than the mechanical angel in the future."
Ji Xun came back to his senses and nodded with a smile: "Yeah. I think you can do it too."
There is no limit to technology.
The mechanical angel represents the pinnacle of the mechanical technology of the Talen Empire, but it does not represent the upper limit of machinery.
At least many myths and legends of goblin civilization, dwarf technology, and some strange technological civilizations can make gods and demons pale in comparison.
The two looked at each other, a man and a woman alone, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Dong Qi was wearing only thin underwear under her heavy work clothes, which was now soaked.
The thin material seemed to have no cover at once, and it had a hazy touch just right.
Ji Xun supported her and pinched her naturally.
Dong Qi had a slight smile on her face, letting the unbridled big hand go, but she said in her mouth: "Ah, a lot of sweat too."
As she said that, she thought of something and smiled again: "Besides, isn't your friend of the Allied Commander coming today? You can go out after taking a shower."
Ji Xun heard this and looked at the time, "Yeah. That's right."
The teleportation array was built a few days ago, and this secret base in Donghuang has a direct connection with the Old Continent.
The living environment in the Old World is very bad, and the bases often have to be moved during guerrilla warfare, which is not suitable for large factories at all.
And there are not so many equipment and technicians.
After all, 80% of the top mechanical resources in the East Wilderness are in the Song family.
Therefore, many of the massive materials and drawings found in the Old World are piled up in the warehouse and cannot be turned into physical objects.
And this dilemma is over.
In the past few days, the Alliance Army has also sent a large amount of materials, drawings and equipment.
With sufficient material support, the production line of the God Hunter Armor can also be fully utilized.
Several God Hunter Armors and a large number of other mechanical equipment needed for war can be produced every day.
And this output will continue to grow with the improvement of technology and the expansion of factories.
Groups of mechanical legions are just around the corner.
And it is precisely because of the God Hunter Armor and equipment sent over from the New World Science and Technology City that the situation of the Alliance Army in the Old Continent has become better and better.
One mechanical armor can surely kill a sixth-level card master, and several combined can kill a seventh-level card master.
This not only allows the Alliance Army to rely on survival in the confrontation with the mercenaries of the Southern Continent. They can also use these armors to clear high-level disasters and monsters, and open up some dangerous areas and different-dimensional spaces that they dared not to set foot in before.
As a result, the Alliance Army can harvest more advanced materials.
In this way, a virtuous circle is formed.
But there is a problem.
That is the relationship between the two sides.
The cooperation between the Alliance Army and the East Wasteland New World was initially a cooperation contract between Catalina of the Lionheart Family and Song Can of the Song Family.
This is a business cooperation relationship, not a subordinate relationship.
But in the eyes of any person in power, this kind of business cooperation is not stable.
So Catalina came this time to discuss the future cooperation relationship.
Anyone with a discerning eye can actually guess that as the Alliance Army converges, she must want to make this relationship completely stable.
The best thing is to join the Alliance Army camp as an exclusive military factory.
This is what makes Song Can embarrassed.
Although this "T-11 Chaoyang Base" was built by the Song family.
But the reason for changing the name to "New World Mechanical City" is because Song Can is an ambitious manager, not just a profit-seeking businessman.
He wants to build a free, equal, open and neutral future technology city, which is the best soil for developing mechanical civilization and cultivating mechanical talents.
This is what her great-grandmother once said.
It is also the common concept of countless mechanics.
No matter who is in power in the future, their "New World" will be this kind of pure academic freedom city.
Therefore, it is not appropriate to join any force.
Otherwise, once certain relationships are established, they will lay hidden dangers for many years in the future.
This makes Song Can a little embarrassed.
He knows very well that the East Wilderness has been controlled by the Orlan Royal Court with the Silver Moon Faith. Once the Old Continent Alliance Army fails again, the East Wilderness will no longer have a place for the "New World".
This is a civilization-level interest, not a simple business transaction.
Both parties must cooperate closely for a long time to ensure that both can survive.
Song Can also understands the concerns of the Alliance Army.
In fact, given the current situation of both parties, there is no need to worry about cooperation.
But what if I die?
Or what if Catalina is not the commander-in-chief of the Alliance?
Power will corrupt human nature, this is inevitable.
If the Alliance Army really changes a commander, there will be many variables in the future.
The political intrigue, robbery, and conspiracy of the federal government have been seen too much.
There are still many problems that need to be solved.
So Catalina came in person at such a critical juncture.
This made Song Can feel even more embarrassed.
He had to give face to the Allied Commander-in-Chief.
Even if he refused, he couldn't refuse completely.
Then how should he face this negotiation?
Fortunately, Ji Xun was here.
Just when Ji Xun and Dong Qi were taking a shower and preparing to go out, in Apartment 1001 not far from their apartment, a fat man in a tuxedo was also tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror.
Song Can attached great importance to the upcoming meeting.
Looking at himself in the mirror, the fat man frowned slightly.
He guessed what the negotiation would be about.
And the Allied Commander was very strong.
It would be very difficult to talk.
Song Can sighed slightly.
Looking back, he met Catalina and got the first military order of the Lionheart family because of Ji Xun's matchmaking.
At that time, he was still an inconspicuous steward of the Song family, not the head of the family.
Because of Ji Xun's introduction, he had the qualifications to marry into the Lionheart family at that time.
Catalina's unconditional trust laid the foundation for cooperation.
So in the future cooperation with the Lionheart family, Song Can was grateful for that trust.
However, it was because of this relationship that made him feel embarrassed during this negotiation.
But then, I don't know what he thought of, the clouds of worry between Song Can's brows dissipated, and he said to himself: "Oh, it's a good thing that Brother Ji Xun is at the base, otherwise this negotiation would give me a headache."
And he also learned some gossip about the Allied Commander-in-Chief from some channels.
Thinking of this, Song Can's chubby face twitched, and he grinned: "Hehe, but speaking of it. Brother Ji Xun is still amazing. The 'Silver Mist Rose' who is famous in the federal aristocracy and the Miss of the Lionheart family who is not in the eyes of countless young talents, was actually won by him."
