Chapter 598 The Core of Gushing Water

The Siren City of Nasatorn is about to wake up from a hundred years of chaos and darkness, and before that, it must find a way to deal with the many messes in front of it. The palace area and control module in the center of the city were reduced to ruins in the big explosion. A large bright fire and continuous energy turbulence shone on the ruins like a wandering torch. Sirens are constantly coming out of buildings all over the city. Many of them have just recovered from their mental out-of-control state, while others have just been released from their cages by their out-of-control compatriots. The Queen and her Home Ministers will probably have to spend a lot of energy to sort out the chaos in social order - but this is a small problem compared to the whirlpool on the large retaining wall.

"I still remember what happened when I was entangled with that monster. Some of its sporadic plans sometimes enter my mind through spiritual connection." The Siren Queen looked at the large vortex uneasily, "It uses Our Kraken's magic technology... and a mysterious technology were combined to create this huge portal. Nasatorn's energy core and a set of devices that extract energy from the earth's core provide it with initial energy, and it The way it operates is like a living thing. After it grows to a certain stage, it starts to maintain its own operation... It is like inertia and cannot be terminated. And anyway, it was not designed with an emergency stop button from the beginning. .”

Shakeela's expression was grim: "Once this vortex collapses...will it blow up Nasatorn? Or will it blow a hole in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean and destroy the entire planet?"

"No, it's worse than that," Hao Ren said quickly while reading the scan report sent back by the data terminal. "It won't blow up the earth - it will blow up the entire real world. It's a bigger The hole is enough to cause the real world and another universe to annihilate each other. Of course, the situation may be slightly better, for example, the disaster area will be limited to the Milky Way..."

Soma asked subconsciously: "What's the difference?"

Hao Ren shrugged: "It doesn't make any difference, the ball is dead anyway."

The data terminal projected a holographic image of a giant vortex, with complex energy diagrams and radial lines next to it, showing the energy structure around this huge portal: "The Siren Queen is right, it has begun to sustain itself. At this time, it is cut off Energy supply can only slow down its growth. Moreover, this thing is integrated with the city's large protective wall, and I don't think there is any way to pry it off."

Yzaks said in a muffled voice beside him: "Then cut off the energy supply first. At least we can have more reaction time."

The Siren Queen thought for a moment, then turned around and swam behind the ruins of the palace: "Follow me, let's go to the energy core."

After just a few steps of swimming away, she turned around and said to General Vanessa, who had just returned from the Giant Turtle Rock Platform and was still a little confused about the situation: "Vanessa, take your people with you to release those aliens and appease them first. Their emotions, I will go meet them in person later, the mess we made this time is too big."

Vanessa nodded confusedly and took the order, then raised her head and glanced at Hao Ren and the others: "I remember that I was sent to a very strange place. There are many people with mechanical tentacles there..."

"Vanessa, go get down to business first," the Siren Queen urged from behind. "There are many people who are more confused than you. Also, don't mention the tentacles for a while... This is not a pleasant word."

The Siren Queen led everyone towards the energy core of Nasatorn. On the way, they kept encountering the Sirens who had just regained consciousness and came to ask for instructions. She has been assigning tasks methodically and quickly along the way. These tasks include counting personnel, releasing citizens who are still imprisoned, restoring the functions of the core control area, and counting losses. All these arrangements were accurate, and there was no trace of her being trapped in chaos for hundreds of years. Hao Ren was very impressed when he saw this: "Your queen is a resolute and resolute person, she looks very chic."

"She has always been like this, but she is a very easy to get along with after work." Shakira walked beside Hao Ren with a happy expression on her face. "We haven't seen each other in a hundred years... It's really wonderful that everything can return to normal." It couldn't be better."

The group of people came to a shell-shaped building behind the ruins of the palace. This building had many columnar facilities that protruded from the ground and looked like U-shaped joints of large pipes. The outside of these facilities is an alloy head, and its sides are curved crystal walls that can be opened, which is reminiscent of some kind of artistically designed elevator. Everyone followed the Siren Queen and swam into one of the facilities. Then the circular floor under their feet suddenly disappeared, and a brightly lit pipe appeared in front of everyone.

The powerful pressurized water pushed everyone into the pipe, and Hao Ren found himself following the water to a certain place.

"This is our elevator - it is also the urban transportation system," Shakira smiled happily. "This is a large transfer station. The water flow can take you to many places. Oh, ordinary races may not be able to stand this, but for That’s pretty comfortable for a Kraken.”

"Um...I feel fine," Lily scratched her chin, "But why do I feel like it's like flushing the toilet's sewer pipe..."

Everyone around him immediately glared at this husky who couldn't speak with his brain.

Nangong Wuyue followed closely behind the Siren Queen. She couldn't help but asked cautiously: "Queen, do you know a siren named 'Elsa'?"

"Elsa?" The Siren Queen frowned and turned her head, "Who is she to you?"

"She is my mother," Nangong Wuyue said quickly. "I asked Shakira and Soma, but they were not impressed by the name - but my mother should be one of the siren messengers who came ashore."

The selection of the couriers who came ashore was very confusing. Many of them were selected on the whim of the Siren Queen, and many of the couriers were not registered when they came ashore, so the couriers themselves were not sure about the list of companions. Shakira and Soma had never heard of the Nangong siblings’ mother’s name.

"Elsa... I remember her. She was a girl with a weird temper. She was very courageous. She always went to the sea outside to bring back some strange human relics. She liked Viking things very much," Siren The Queen can actually remember the name of an ordinary siren, "How is she now?"

"She... disappeared. She disappeared with my father. Our secluded place was attacked by an angry spirit, and the whole family disappeared out of thin air." Nangong Wuyue's voice deepened, "This is my brother next to me. Our father is a Witcher."

"...It seems that a lot of things have happened on the land," the Siren Queen looked at the two siblings who would attract attention no matter where they are placed in surprise. "Oh, the Siren has no prejudice against the demon hunters. What have you experienced as brothers and sisters? It’s regrettable, but I believe that Elsa, as a siren, would not die so easily, and she must have been reborn somewhere.”

At this time, the speed of the water in the pipe dropped rapidly, and then a stream of water in the opposite direction rushed from under the feet. At the same time, a large number of precise and powerful small vortexes were rolled up on the walls of the pipe to steadily fix everyone in a certain position. An arc-shaped crack opened on the side of the pipe, and light shone in from outside the crack.

"This is the energy source of Nasatorn. We call it the core of gushing water."

The Siren Queen pointed at a brilliant ball of light and said.

Outside the pipe is a huge fan-shaped hall that looks like the inner cavity of a shell. The four walls of the hall are lined with neat vertical pipes and ridges, while the inside of the hall is filled with bright but not dazzling blue-white light. This light comes from the wonderful thing in the center of the hall: it is a large sphere with a diameter of more than ten meters. On the surface, you can vaguely see lines like water ripples, and its interior is as clear as crystal. And in this piece Around the huge crystal, more than ten transparent pipes vertically pass through the ceiling and floor of the hall. In the pipes, you can see bright light flowing like water.

This is the source of Nasatorn's power - it's incredible that it has been running continuously for more than 10,000 years. As a creation of a mortal race, this is an amazing achievement.

"This is directly below the palace. Originally, there was a main pipeline extending directly from here to my palace." The Siren Queen pointed to a pipeline in front of the gushing core. The pipeline is currently in a dim state. "I can Absorb the power of the energy core and make a series of emergency controls on it. But now that the pipeline has been blown up, we can only use the backup system here to cut off its connection with the large retaining wall."

"You want to close the big barrier?!" Shakira exclaimed.
