Chapter 716 Desperate ‘Accomplice’

The gray-red steel wall goes straight down, and the embedded light strips illuminate the giant passage layer by layer, dozens of layers, nearly a hundred layers, thousands of layers, and the long passage is like a spiral that repeats itself, with no end in sight.

Here, containers loaded with various heavy materials are fixed on the rails. Driven by electromagnetics, they fly forward, whistling back and forth, and above the tracks, cameras are under the control of the central AI, constantly monitoring the operation of the entire passage.

Thousands of meters underground, this place has been transformed into a busy factory, with tens of thousands of autonomous units performing their duties, constantly unloading various goods from the tracks and transporting them to designated locations. There are also extended robotic arms there to assemble these large modules. The precision equipment, about 200 meters high, slowly embeds with the surrounding interfaces, and then makes a crisp sound in this empty underground.

‘Emerald Dragon-B109’

The large steel wall of the underground space is engraved with clear words by laser, and there is a silhouette of a flying dragon on one side. Behind this wall, two ‘Peace Messenger-A1’ type six-level mechas are quietly placed. They are the backbone security force of this factory. The various weapons they use are specially customized, and they can fight at full strength without causing harm to the structure of the underground space.

In every corner of the factory, technicians in light green and white hold terminals and testing instruments to monitor the construction process here, and then check and verify whether it is qualified. There are about 1,000 of them, and this is just this single large workshop. The entire underground base has about 6,000 technicians and 4,000 auxiliary personnel, a total of more than 10,000.

In addition, in the entire underground space, from time to time, you can see people patrolling in silver-white special windbreakers, ring goggles, and lightsabers and guns on their waists. Behind them are white signs of a moon surrounded by three pairs of prismatic wings, indicating that they belong to the "Silver Wing" Guard, which is responsible for monitoring the space here to prevent spies, hackers, and secret thieves from sneaking in and destroying.

There are nearly 200 such complete underground factories in Jade Skirt. Currently, about 120 have been put into operation, and it is expected that 300 similar factories will be built in the second batch.

The stairs protruding from the gray steel wall are as inconspicuous as small black ants. At this moment, Tilan is wearing a gray hooded cloak and standing on this staircase, looking at the towering structure being placed not far away. Because it has not been encapsulated yet, you can see the dense and delicate parts and circuits, as well as various equipment in this hundreds of meters high structure, like an extremely complex maze.

She then moved her eyes to the floating autonomous units that were constantly flying back and forth inside. They extended their slender mechanical arms to weld and rivet the entire structure, and completed the final laying and packaging.

On the ground, about 2,000 red and black automatic trailers transported various accessory boxes to designated locations to open them, and then many autonomous units grabbed them and sent them to the locations where they needed to be installed. The whole process was orderly, and the various units in the seemingly chaotic environment cooperated with each other without any collision.

"In two days, this underground factory will be fully built, and then it will be able to produce the main equipment required for the dragon vein system." The accompanying staff introduced to Tilan.

"Yes." After visiting here, Tilan nodded slightly.

Since the establishment of the 'Emerald Dragon' organization, about 1 million technical backbones have been mobilized from various star regions to join the Dragon Vein Plan in three months. After three years of technical verification, this number will exceed 30 million, and similar factories will be built in 14 star regions to expand production. According to estimates, the final implementation of the Dragon Vein construction project in the entire southern star region will require about 8 billion people to participate, which accounts for about 0.76% of the total population of the entire southern star region, including industrial manufacturing, commissioning and installation, security protection, operation and maintenance, emergency response and many other links and industrial chains. If the clothing, food, housing, transportation, entertainment, medical education and other links of these personnel are also counted, the number of people involved will increase several times.

Everything is starting to get on track. What she needs now is just patience. In Tilan's concept, seemingly heroic and urgent violent means often bring many side effects and troubles, and real change, like a slowly rising tide, will flatten and crush the stale world with a slow and unstoppable momentum.

What she seeks is not only the prosperity of the Rose Federation for hundreds of years in the future, but also hopes to use this as a step to gradually integrate the power of the entire civilization, constantly explore new possibilities, and break away from the muddy reincarnation of the past.

However, the latter is still too far away from now, and many people now find it difficult to understand and believe. There are not many people with foresight. In fact, as technology becomes more and more advanced, it will become more and more difficult to see this complex and diverse world clearly. If you want to transcend the current era and see the world in decades, you need to surpass the vision and imagination of genius.

Releasing her fingers, Tilan turned and walked through the steel stairs and turned into the passage inside.

"Now, let's go to the next place."

"Yes, Lord Tilan." One by one, the members in silver-gray windbreakers followed closely and walked into the passage inside the wall.

————

Cui Yue Star Region, the planet where the 'Cui Yu Flower Crown' lives.

Unlike the 'Harp Flower Crown' that is everywhere in the academy, the scenery inside the Cui Yu Flower Crown is beautiful. It is the planet where many nobles in the Federation settle. It is also the headquarters of many organizations, and many discussions and meetings are held here.

Under the quiet shade of tall trees, a small boat glides calmly on the water. The lake reflects the sky and the shadows of the trees, like colorful and beautiful emerald amber.

Some leaves flutter on the water, and occasionally birds fly over the water and peck at small fish in the water. The process is peaceful and natural.

Going down through the clear lake, more than ten meters deep, the huge banquet hall separated by a transparent dome is brightly lit at this moment, and beautiful waiters shuttle through it, serving the guests who come here to gather.

Next to this underwater building that looks like a large water lily are multiple connected ancillary buildings, which are arranged in a staggered manner at the bottom of the lake, like carefully decorated gems in the water.

At this moment, in one of the small bud buildings, the logistics service staff dressed in different clothes were rushing back and forth. They were busy preparing various delicious dishes, and there were also many drinks and beverages ordered by the guests. In the small room beside the passage, two middle-aged men were changing their makeup quickly in front of the mirror. They looked like 40 or 50 years old a few minutes ago, but soon with the help of various magical props, they became like young men in their 20s.

"I haven't used this skill for almost 20 years, and it's a bit rusty today." The black-haired man used a special foundation to apply to the bottom of his eyes, finishing his makeup, so that his skin color and neck and hands gradually approached each other, so as not to be too abrupt.

"Prince, you are really old. Now you can only dress up as a young man in his twenties. If you are younger, you can't hide it from those high-level extraordinary people." The man next to him complained while doing the same thing.

"I remember that was our fourth collaboration. You dressed up as a 17-year-old cool magician and charmed so many young ladies at the banquet. I was so envious at that time. I'm afraid you can't recover that state now." The two talked about the past.

"You are not qualified to say anything about me. And which unlucky guy did you get the name 'Adam Amy' from?" After dealing with the problems with his face and hands, the black-haired man began to pack up the various items in front of him.

"It's not that unlucky guy, it's the pseudonym I use in this organization, and I have been using it for sixteen years."

"Sixteen years can do a lot of things. What surprised me is that you haven't figured out their details in sixteen years?" Prince believed that the companion next to him was once a top firm operator, who had done countless shocking cases, and it was no problem for him to infiltrate an organization in the gray area.

After the makeup was done, the man looked at the handsome young man in his early twenties in the mirror, straightened his chestnut short hair, and then answered: "You know, there are many extraordinary abilities in this world, which cannot be concealed by technical means alone."

"I have told you before that this church is extremely well organized, far surpassing other underground dark forces. They don't even use electronic networks to communicate and store information in order to keep it secret."

"For sixteen years, I wanted to find out the truth about the test tube back then, and I came into contact with them. After that, I spent a lot of energy and time before I reluctantly joined them and became an external member."

"This is not a simple church. Their senior leaders have the ability to read minds like a singer. Lies are useless in front of them. Moreover, this church is extremely good at psychological research. There are many hypnotists and professionals inside. Their real core is cultivated by themselves since childhood, and also No external recruitment for promotion."

"In the past sixteen years, I have also experienced several dangerous situations and was almost seen through by the members. Later, I barely got through with some "treasures" left behind in the past."

"Now I can't try rashly anymore, so I need your cooperation."

"According to my inference, even if the elites of the Tribunal come, it is difficult to find the real core in this foggy organization."

"Their core members are extremely pious, and even have a spirit of self-sacrifice. They are not the kind of fanatics who are confused, but extremely rational. If science is a religion, they are probably members of a sect."

"Such an organization, why do you think it is the culprit of the destruction of civilization? How can they have such great strength, and how can they lead the world to the destruction you said." Prince also finished sorting it out at this time.

"There are too many complicated things to explain." The man next to him sighed.

"It's like a butterfly gently fluttering its wings upstream of time, bringing a shocking storm downstream."

A correct version at 1619, 1 book, 1 bar!

"They are an organization with great determination. They can spend the energy and time of several generations for a goal, and the subsequent successors will not forget the mission left by their predecessors and will still devote themselves to it."

"This makes their actions like the undercurrent in the deepest part of the water, slowly and patiently guiding the changes in the world."

"If you still can't understand, then let me explain it."

"If you know that a girl will become a singer in the future, and you want her to do things for you, the best way is not to lure or force her after she becomes famous, but to let her thoughts and opinions slowly move in the direction you expect through various tangible and intangible events when she is young. In this way, even if you never contact or communicate with her again after she becomes an adult, this influence still exists, and without any push, you can let the other party eventually do things for your goal and achieve your expectations."

"Tsk tsk, this method is inexplicably in line with my taste, but it's a pity that I only have one person and can't complete such a large layout and influence."

"So, have they controlled a certain singer? This should be quite difficult, because no one knows that any singer has a talent before she awakens, and once she awakens, she will be surrounded by the Tribunal's spies. And the patrol officers, those guys are the safety bolts specially left by Amuraline to protect the safety of the singers. "

"Yes, it's difficult to control a diva, but it's much easier to influence certain established senior people."

"The children of politicians' fathers tend to follow similar paths, as long as they influence their children."

"Also, after singers become famous and reach adulthood, do you think they will stay at the bottom and live with ordinary people?"

"Basically not. They will inevitably come into contact with the heirs of various large groups or prominent political families. Although this is not a first-hand influence, people are like this. If they stay with any group for a long time, it will be easy for them to Assimilated."

"Wait a minute, are you sure this is possible? As long as you understand a little mathematics, you will know how much size and personnel this requires. It is not something that gray organizations can hide and remain invisible at all."

"Also, even if it can exert influence at an early age, this kind of influence cannot conflict with actual life, because people will change, and the variables brought by various experiences are huge." Prince shook his head. Psychologists understand the difficulty.

"You don't need to affect everyone, Prince. You just need to deal with a few key nodes and find a breakthrough. I told you that they have many people who are good at telepathy and hypnosis."

"The world is big, but there are very few people who really decide the direction of the world, and singers are the top few. Their ultimate goal is to use singers to achieve hidden goals."

"Sounds evil." Prince walked towards the exit, preparing to enter the busy kitchen passage.

"But they think they are very kind and extremely noble." The companion also wiped away the water stains on the countertop.

"Evil, or selfishness and greed, cannot transcend the terror of life and death, so there are often limits to the power they can generate."

"But kindness is not the case. The more lofty and great the ideal is, the more it will attract those truly pious and fearless people. They cherish the best wishes and achieve things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand."

"But who defines kindness and who guides it, so this 'kindness' eventually became an accomplice in some desperate scenes."

"It took me many years to understand the meaning behind that prophecy, which is why I regret it now."

"One day, you'll understand me, Prince, and—" He whispered the name.

"Tilan"
