Chapter 1750 Farewell to Lahirien
Looking at the mother stone that had become the foundation stone of the "vaccine", Hao Ren couldn't help but sigh: "This process sounds really reasonable... This is pretty much the working mechanism of the immune system."
"Sometimes the universe does indeed operate like a living thing, and many things in the world are interconnected," the data terminal said leisurely from the side. "The blood bar is getting longer and longer, and the face is getting thicker and thicker. It's almost the same thing..."
"Your metaphor is very problematic..." Hao Ren glanced at the data terminal, "And the health bar is getting longer and longer. What the hell is it - a bug!"
"I just wanted to force a rhyme... but it didn't work out."
Hao Ren twitched his lips and returned his focus to the vaccine: after being inspected, the black obelisk had been packed into a large storage container by construction machinery, and then the container would be transported through space. Transported to the Temple of the World Tree, where it was properly protected and further studied. He asked Leah about the next arrangements for the vaccine: "By the way, how do you plan to use this thing?"
"The specific application method will depend on the more detailed analysis report later," Leah thought for a while, "but after reading the preliminary data, I do already have an idea. That mother stone has the characteristics of information replication, maybe we can By using it as an 'information source' and broadcasting it on a large scale in the Crazy Lord's activity area, the effect of the vaccine will weaken the Crazy Lord's infectivity and suppress its spread speed, and these two points are its biggest advantages. The danger lies. If used properly, we can effectively control the scale of the battlefield during the final battle."
Hao Ren said softly: "If it can succeed, that would be great... Being able to control the scale of the battlefield and the spread of pollution can reduce countless losses... After all, many planets in the Dream Plane have begun to recover ecologically. Those It’s not easy for the planet to catch its breath.”
"The Heart of God also needs to be transported away," Vivian looked in the direction of the Heart of God. Now the floating debris around the Heart of God has almost been salvaged, and the construction machinery is busy on the Heart of God. Countless thrusters and jump generators have been installed, giving this thing the ability to move on its own. "But taking such a big thing out of the center of Lahirion... will have no impact on the planet." What?"
"It has almost no impact." Hao Ren shook his head. "Lahrain's situation is very special. Its earth center has long lost connection with the rest of the planet. Moreover, the planet's geothermal system has been cooling for many years, and there are rarely more violent geological conditions on the surface. Movement, the only changes in the earth's crust are also affected by divine power rather than the center of the earth. Of course, our engineering work here will indeed cause some changes in the deep environment of the world's rift, but the Lahirien have never been exposed to it before At this level, whether the environment here has changed has little impact on their development - at most we can make a database of the original environmental parameters here and hand it over to several countries on the surface, and wait until they develop to the point where they can analyze these data in the future. Let’s look at it as a historical record.”
After that, there were a few calm days.
The Heart of God was successfully transferred to the dream plane, and further research and transformation projects on it were officially launched. The analysis of the "vaccine" was also progressing smoothly. Due to the full authority of the Heart of God system, the progress of these works was even The good ones are somewhat unexpected.
But these things are a bit far away for those who stay in Lahirion.
The sudden war caused unimaginable catastrophic damage. The power of "annihilation" is unimaginable by ordinary people who know nothing about the turn of the era - no natural or man-made disaster in the world can compare with it.
Although the war ended in victory in a short period of time with the help of "foreign allies", the Dragon Empire, which was the source of the annihilation outbreak, was still severely damaged. The central region of the empire almost became a corrupt wasteland, and most towns Nine out of ten rooms are empty, and the closer you get to the ruins of the imperial capital, the more complete the destruction is - if you look at it from the air, it looks like a dark flower of corruption is blooming in the middle of the empire, and the festering earth is centered around the imperial capital. Radiation spreads, and wherever the black scorch marks reach, there are no lights of civilization left.
The situation is better in the northern and southern regions: Earl Nahum in the south immediately raised troops based on Ash Mountain City, quickly expelled the Black Sword Knights in the surrounding small and medium-sized towns, and built a large number of, as if, in the wilderness. The honeycomb-like layers of isolation zones, this well-prepared operation saved a large number of people in the south. Although the monster army tore a lot of holes in the defense line built by Earl Nahum, at least several important towns were spared. The situation in the north is even better. The Northern Army took the initiative. Although it was frustrated and retreated to within six provinces, after the Guardian Army joined, their advancement never stopped, and they were corrupted from beginning to end. None of the forces could penetrate into the six northern provinces, but only left some scars on the border.
It's just that the northern part of the empire is bitter, cold and barren, and is not a prosperous place to begin with. Therefore, even if it is well preserved, the "value" of the six northern provinces is still not much different from that of the half-destroyed south.
In addition to these places, the eastern and western parts of the empire have also been corroded by the power of annihilation. The situation in both directions is not very optimistic, but compared to the central region that was almost completely destroyed... at least there is hope.
As night fell, Constance finally finished her day's work. She was freed from the heavy and complicated official duties. She opened the door and went to the open-air balcony. Looking at the clear night sky, she took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. .
There is still a faint smell of burnt smell in the air, which is the smell of the earth that has not yet healed.
This is not a gorgeous palace, nor a castle in Frost Snow City, nor even a temporary palace. It is just a dilapidated noble house on the edge of Eagle City. The original owner has fled and died somewhere unknown. , and the residence that was left behind became Constance’s place to stay after some reluctant repairs.
It's better than most places in the city - at least its walls haven't all collapsed.
Constance looked towards the direction of the imperial capital. Of course she couldn't see anything, but she could still clearly remember the scene when the city turned into complete dust: in order to clear away the last remaining traces of the city after his death. A little bit of corruption, and in order to prevent some special monsters that have not yet died from becoming hidden dangers, Leah ordered the city to return to dust. Now the imperial capital has become a black plain. Except for a few rescued precious cultural relics and souvenirs, there are There is nothing left.
Therefore, Eagle City has become the emergency "capital" in such critical moments.
Fortunately, the magic network relay tower in the center of the city is still in use, otherwise Constance would really have to face the embarrassing situation of finally defeating the monster but losing contact with the army and being trapped in the middle of the ruins.
Suddenly there was a flash of light behind her. Constance turned around and saw several "foreign friends" standing behind her.
"How does it feel to be a queen?"
Hao Ren looked at "Her Royal Highness" in front of him and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"I'm exhausted both physically and mentally," Constance said sincerely, putting aside her usual reserve and norms in front of these special friends. "To be honest, I never thought about doing this after becoming the queen... I didn't even think about it. This battle could be fought so quickly and won.”
"I originally went to the battlefield with the thought of dying together, but suddenly I came back victorious. It's normal for you to be confused," Lily waved her hands and said, "I had the same mentality when I first entered Peking University - it was my first time in life. Once I looked at the canteen and was at a loss..."
Constance: "...?"
"Ignore her, she's talking about things from another world," Vivian pushed Lily aside. "As for you...you are definitely not the kind of person who can give up, so keep going."
Constance smiled: "Thank you for the encouragement, it's actually not bad - at least a dozen clones can help me share some of the work. When Archduke Owen recovers and can return the affairs of the North to him, I will be able to relax Quite a few.”
Hao Ren nodded: "Have Charlemagne and Evana returned to Ys?"
"I left yesterday, taking the White City Federation's troops with me," Constance said, and also made a joke, "After all, with Dragon's current situation... we can't feed them."
"I heard that Charlemagne broke an arm," Hao Ren touched his chin, "Originally I wanted to help him take a look, but I heard that you cured him?"
"Biochemical technology and bionic machinery are the strengths of the Dragon Empire, and Charlemagne also specifically asked us to customize a distinctive robotic arm for him, rejecting the suggestion of autologous cloning," Constance's lips raised slightly, " That arm and this war will become his capital, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the future King of Ys."
Leah looked into Constance's eyes and showed approval: "It seems that you are all handling your own affairs very well, and there is no need for us to continue to interfere."
"You have done enough for us," Constance bowed deeply, "Let us walk the rest of the way on our own."
"Come on, keep going," Leah reached out and touched Constance's hair with a gentle smile on her face, "When you walk out of this planet, I will give you a big gift... "
Constance raised her head, but there was no one in front of her.
"A gift..." Constance looked into the distance. In the dilapidated city shrouded in darkness, scattered lights were lighting up. The surviving people gathered together, just like the ancestors who entered the wilderness in the pioneering era. Just the same, clinging to each other and dispelling the darkness with the meager light, preparing to survive the long night ahead.
"Surviving is already a great gift."
After passing through the portal of the World Tree Temple, the fresh and vital air in the temple made everyone unable to help but take a deep breath.
"Is this enough?" Vivian asked, "Their next days will be very difficult. Although the crazy power in many places has been purified, the destroyed land will still take many years to heal itself. De The reconstruction of the Lagon Empire will be more difficult than the pioneering of the past."
"That's it," Leah said quietly, "I believe they can do well, and we... still have things we have to do."
