Volume 19 Chapter 105 Underground River System Reconstruction Plan
Although I really wanted to imitate Noreen, that was basically a dream, so I didn’t think much about it. Besides, Noreen didn’t give me time to think about it!
"President, how do I open this?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it." I was afraid that Norin would smash the box as well, so I ran over and released the seal on the outside a few times, then overturned the box to the ground, and the god naturally rolled out of it.
Seeing the immortal rolling outside the box, Noreen immediately moved forward excitedly, but after just two seconds of observation, she turned to me again in confusion and asked: "Huh? Didn't you say two? Still? Is there one?"
"Here." I took out the sealing stone from under the box, injected magic power and threw it away. The stone erupted in the air with unimaginable bright light and then suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the person sealed inside The gods also fell out. But unlike the guy on the ground who looked like a corpse, this guy was jumping around all over the ground like a fish out of water. Of course, it was useless even if he jumped up and down, because his hands and feet were locked tightly by the rings of light, and he couldn't break free at all.
I walked over and kicked the guy who was jumping around on the ground and said, "Be honest. The seal on your hand is the seal given to you by the big-wheeled Peacock Pluto. Unless your divine power exceeds that of Peacock Pluto, you can't earn it." open."
"Woo... Wuwu..." The guy on the ground not only didn't stop after hearing my words, but started struggling even more fiercely. However, during his struggle, I noticed that a ball of light that looked like a gag was stuffed into his mouth, making him unable to even scream.
Ignoring the guy's yelling, I said directly to Noreen: "How do you feel?"
"Why isn't this guy moving? Is that guy jumping happily?" Noreen squatted next to the guy whose memory had been wiped like a child playing with a bunny, poking his face with her fingers.
"This guy has just been given some 'potion', and now he has no memory, so he is basically like an idiot. But don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with his thinking ability. It's just that his consciousness has been washed away."
"Oh, that's it. But do you still have that 'potion'?"
I looked at Noreen in confusion and asked, "Why do you ask this?"
"I want to give him some." Noreen pointed at the guy who was still jumping around.
As soon as he heard that he was about to give himself medicine, the guy on the ground jumped even harder, and kept making whining noises from his nose, as if he wanted to struggle and escape. Of course, unless he suddenly activates his potential and becomes a super god, he will just have to let us toss him here.
"Huh, why are you two running so fast?" I was talking to Noreen about the potion when the two Jiaha finally arrived. Of course, the main reason is that Jiaha's speed is too slow. After all, his huge size cannot make him go fast.
"Are these the two gods?" Jiaha, the demon puppet, saw the two guys on the ground as soon as he came in.
"It's these two guys. Just now Noreen said that this guy's memory should be erased, what do you think?"
"Don't wash them all. Leave one to be washed out and the other to be washed separately. You can just experiment with the difference between the two souls. Anyway, after the control core is finally synthesized, the original ideology will be distorted. Even if it has partial memories, it will not show the original Characteristics of that soul.”
"That's just right. One of these two gods has washed away the memory of the other. You can use it now."
After hearing my words, the demon puppet Jiaha immediately came over, picked up the two gods, turned around and walked towards the research room, and Jiaha and Norin quickly followed, while I turned around and left.
Designing and manufacturing a constructed creature is a very complicated task. Even if there are ready-made materials and technologies, it cannot be done immediately. Therefore, there is no use for me to stay. I might as well get busy with other things first. .
After leaving the research center, I did not stay in Essinger. Instead, I handed all the newly acquired supplies and magic pet eggs to the guild's logistics department for collection and inventory, and then went directly to the underground river. Here we have now captured three underground cities along the underground river in one go, plus the fortress city outside that acts as a bridgehead, making a total of four cities. In addition, in addition to these four cities, I finally discovered that the cave where the divine power is located can also be used as a secret base with a little modification. Calculated this way, our guild is equivalent to having five cities starting work at the same time. This workload is really not small.
Of course, no matter how much the city builds, it doesn’t really matter to me. The Frost Rose Alliance is not a small guild where the president has to take care of everything. We have a specialized division of labor. Things like building a city, not to mention me as the president, even the two vice-presidents Hong Yue and Ying don't have to intervene, because this matter is managed by the logistics department, which means it is Rose's matter. .
Although it is not my responsibility to build the city, I still have to come here, not to command the construction workers, but to find that mysterious creature.
The reason why I found that cave before was because our guild's expedition team was attacked, and then after I arrived there, Xiao Longnu was also attacked by an unknown creature. Later, in order to find that creature, we accidentally discovered that There are many caves with sources of divine power. However, although we found a large number of mutated creatures in the cave, none of them could match the creature that attacked the little dragon girl before. Therefore, I am certain that the creature should still be in the underground river.
We will build this underground river system into an underground city cluster in the future. It would be too unsafe to leave such a monster there, so we must capture it as soon as possible or kill it directly. If not, at least expel it. Only living things will do, but we can't let it wander around our city.
When we arrived at the city at the exit of the river again, the scenery here was very different from before. First of all, all the messy ruins in the city have disappeared. The empty city ground has basically been organized into a large flat land, and in many places, even the markings of buildings and streets have been drawn. It’s just that the laying of foundations and pavement has not yet begun.
Inside the city, only building ruins had been cleared, but outside the city it was a different story. Since we plan to turn the cities next to the three underground rivers into ship research bases in the future, we definitely need a waterway to connect them to the Yangtze River. Originally, this underground river was connected to the Yangtze River using underground pipelines, and we didn't plan to just build submarines, so the pipelines definitely couldn't be used. In order to allow ships to enter the river and then from the Yangtze River to the sea, the construction team of our guild is stepping up the excavation of the connecting water channel connecting the underground river and the Yangtze River. Judging from the current progress, the waterway will be completed in two or three hours at most, but if it is to be navigable, it is estimated that it will be impossible in two or three days.
In addition to the construction work of waterways, there is also a large area on the side of the city close to the Yangtze River where pits are being dug. According to the design goals, the ships designed in the underground river city will eventually be assembled and built here. Therefore, in addition to being the entrance fortress of the underground river research base, this city is also a super shipyard itself. What is it like? Things like docks and floating docks are necessary facilities, and they must be built large enough.
In addition to these internal facilities, the city wall may be the fastest built in the entire city. Originally, the city wall was a defensive circle composed of three straight walls and the mountain behind it, but now our guild has built only two walls. Because the city has been greatly expanded, the entire city is now backed by a cliff, and the front stretches all the way to the Yangtze River. Therefore, as long as two straight walls are built on both sides of the city, it will basically meet the needs.
Judging from the current construction progress of the city, it is estimated that a decent urban structure will not appear in three to five days, but once the infrastructure is completed, the subsequent work will be much faster.
After roughly looking at the building conditions in the city, I came to the entrance of the underground river, and then summoned Night Shadow and entered the underground river.
It is obviously different from the last time I came here. The previously dark underground river is now equipped with a lot of lighting facilities, and there are many people sitting on boats on both sides of the river to detect the hardness of the walls and cave roofs of the river. Those guilds didn't pay attention before because they didn't have that kind of technology, but our guild doesn't dare to be careless. The natural environment in "Zero" is subject to natural disasters such as earthquakes just like in reality. It would be bad if the river collapsed due to shocks caused by earthquakes or battles. Therefore, our people are now checking the structure of the river section by section. The parts with good hardness can be ignored. Some rock sections with thin rock layers or incomplete structures must be reinforced. In addition, in addition to the rock formations on both sides of the river, things like stalactites hanging upside down from the cave roof must also be disposed of as soon as possible. The largest ship that the previous guild ran here was only more than a thousand tons. With the width and height of this river, there was naturally no problem. However, our guild may need to build larger warships here in the future. The stalactites hanging upside down on the top of the river, which are often seven or eight meters long, are really a huge safety hazard, so they must be removed as soon as possible. Of course, the stalactites on the roof of the cave need to be dealt with, and the reefs below the river channel also need to be removed. In short, the river must ensure that ships of the level of super battleships can pass through smoothly.
In addition to the base structure of the river channel, our construction workers will install two to three traction tracks for the river channel. It is obviously unrealistic for large ships to move under their own power in narrow waters. Ships are not cars, and it is very difficult to move them laterally. In reality, tugboats are generally used to solve this problem. However, tugboats are generally used in ports. Although the port is not very wide compared to ships, it can still turn around and so on. Although the width of this underground river is not low, it can barely allow a super battleship to pass through. If a tug is used, it will be inefficient and very dangerous. Therefore, we plan to install two sets of traction tracks on the bottom of the river or on the top of the river channel. When a ship enters the river, just connect the rigid towing rod to the bow and stern of the ship, and the towing slides above the head or under the water can be used to stabilize the hull and ensure that the ship passes through the river in the most reasonable route without worrying about an accident. Scratch incident.
Although this design is indeed good, the amount of work is only a little larger, so the workers will probably be busy for a while. Fortunately, even after our base is completed, it is impossible to start shipbuilding immediately, so the delayed completion of this facility will not affect the work of other departments.
After crossing the river channel under construction in front, the back part is obviously much quieter, and since the construction has not yet reached this side, there is no lighting. However, it doesn't matter whether there is lighting or not, because a little further through here is the original location of the city of chaos. Of course, although this was originally a city of chaos, it is now occupied by us. Since we need to rebuild most of the city facilities, we even plan to change the city name, but we haven’t decided yet what to change. That’s all. Fortunately, the system allows the city name to be changed within a week after the city is completed, and we haven't even finished the construction yet, so we don't have to worry too much for the time being.
Because my destination was not the city of chaos, I moved forward without even stopping and continued passing through the other two dungeons, and finally arrived at the area where Xiao Longnu and I were attacked last time. place.
Since I have suffered losses here before, according to my order, a large number of combat creatures and high-level players have been deployed here, including three mobile angels used against the gods. With such fighting power, even if they encounter a protoss team of less than ten people, they can still fight for a while. If that creature dares to come, I'm sure he'll be in bad luck.
"President? Why are you here?" Seeing me appearing here, several senior players responsible for guarding the place immediately came over.
I looked at the water and said: "Has that thing down here been here since? I still feel that it is not reassuring to put such a monster here. Have you ever heard of a thousand days to be a thief, how have you ever heard of a thousand days to prevent a thief? Yes? It’s not a problem that we are always so heavily guarded!"
One of the players heard the words and nodded: "That's right. Although there is no problem in defending for a short period of time, if a group of standing troops are left here, the investment is too much, and the gain is not worth the loss. "
"So I wanted to come over and see if I could find that thing."
A player who was sent to guard said: "But we didn't encounter that thing again after we arrived, so we can't be sure whether it is still here."
I thought about it and asked, "Have you sent anyone to search the underground cave where the source of divine power was found?"
"We searched, but we didn't find any trace of any large creatures."
"What about the passage?"
"There is a passage, but we feel that according to the situation you described, President, it should be impossible for the creatures fighting you to escape from a hole of that size."
"How big is the passage you discovered?"
The player directly compared the size of the bowl with his hand and said: "It's just that big. Not to mention a giant beast with the same size as a dragon, even a slightly thicker python can't get through it."
"Have you sent anyone to see what's over there in the passage?" I continued to ask.
The player shook his head and said: "No. We only used the air pressure test method to prove that the hole is connected to an open area, and did not go to investigate. After all, the hole is too small, and the player's body cannot fit through it. It is troublesome to use a special magic pet. There’s no way to guarantee safety.”
I nodded and said, "Then you continue to guard here, and I'll go check on the situation."
Leaving these players responsible for guarding the river, I went straight into the cave where I had discovered the source of divine power. There is a big difference here from the last time I came here. The black gold attached to the walls of the cave has been stripped away, and the various gemstones on the ground have basically disappeared. Moreover, because these resource minerals have been mined, the cave appears to be much larger than before.
In addition to the disappearance of the previous resources, the cave walls are currently being leveled. The walls, floor and roof of the cave have been smoothed as much as possible by our guild's construction workers through cutting and filling methods. The surface, especially the ground, is like a square without any ups and downs. Of course, apart from these civil engineering works, the cave is still a cave. After all, even if we plan to build this place into an experimental base, that will only happen after all the infrastructure is completed.
I randomly found a player here and asked about that hole, and I was soon taken to the side of the hole. As the previous player said, this hole is only slightly larger than a mouse hole at most. Normal people really can't connect it with the giant creature that was able to attack the little dragon girl before. but……
"Although I don't know how it got through, it definitely passed through here."
This is what Bailang said after smelling the smell of the cave entrance. Although Xiao Longnu had a fight with that thing before, because the thing was too fast, even Xiao Longnu only saw that the other person was a giant creature with a snake-shaped body and about the same size as herself. However, although its lightning speed can prevent the opponent from seeing its appearance, this does not prevent it from leaving a scent.
The creature and the little dragon girl both left many scars on each other during the scuffle. Part of the scales of the little dragon girl still had fragments of the guy's scales and claws, and the little dragon girl's claws were also stained with teeth. A lot of that thing's blood. With these things existing, with Bailang's nose, it is easy to know whether that guy has been to a certain place.
Ling stood behind Bai Lang and looked at the hole and said: "Now it seems that our target should be a being who is proficient in transformation skills, otherwise we cannot explain the huge difference in the size of the opponent's front and rear. However, based on the current information, we cannot yet determine the creature. Is it possible to change oneself into the form of other creatures, or is it simply a skill that can enlarge or shrink one's own size? But I prefer the latter. After all, body size change is not a too complicated ability, and many creatures can do it. .As for if that guy is really in the first situation, then we have to be careful. As far as I know, the only people who are good at this ability are Erlang Shen and Sun Wukong, and these two guys are famous for their ability. Fight. If the creature that attacked Little Dragon Girl before also transforms into another creature, then maybe this guy will also have the same level of combat power as Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen."
After hearing Ling's conjecture, I was also in a state of sinking. It's easy to punch through this wall, but if the animal hidden behind is really as powerful as Sun Wukong, then things will be very serious. It seems that we have to find some other way.
