The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 737 Steel Domain

Lin Tianci didn't know how deep underground he was, but he didn't think it would be too deep. After all, he only walked along the winding tunnel for more than ten minutes before reaching the end.

And stepping on the all-metal bridge, the only troublesome thing is the hot wind blowing up from the bottom of the rift valley, with a strong smell of engine oil.

Sai Li said that under that abyss should be a factory in the steel field, if you want to save trouble, you can jump directly...

Brother Lin suddenly felt that walking was a very good thing for his physical and mental health.

The bridge is not long, and it will end at more than [-] meters. Lin Tianci stepped through the circular doorway first, and behind it is a space of about [-] square meters.

Everything including the walls is made of metal, and it looks like a whole piece of metal plate is pasted on it, with almost no gaps visible.

Facing the direction of entry, there is a similarly circular door, but it is much larger than the door opening when entering.

Traces of re-polishing can be seen on this silver-gray door. It used to be engraved with the belief world tree of the ancient elves, but now it has been replaced with a pattern of several gears arranged in combination.

"On the left, there is a hidden compartment that can be opened."

According to Sally's instructions, Lin Tianci stretched out his hand and pushed it, as if pressing a button, there was a feeling of rebound in his hand, and a square object popped out.

It looks like a three-inch screen with a slightly red backlight.

"Just put your finger wearing the north wind ring on it and shake it. This is a small device for opening the door. I guess Lawrence and the others should use other keys to get in. If you just enter the door, the permissions required are very high." Low."

Isn't this a smart lock?
It is not a big news on earth, but in the world of magical background...

The ancient elves are really crazy.

Take the North Wind Ring and shake it on the screen-like device, it emits a long beep, and the red backlight turns green.

At the same time, the round metal door blocking Lin Tianci's eyes split from the middle, split into four neat and uniform petals, and slowly retracted into the door frame with the sound of hydraulic pressure.

It is unscientific that such a sci-fi door was actually made by a group of intelligent creatures playing magic.

If you think about it carefully, when technology has developed to a certain level, it is actually no different from magic.

As soon as the door was opened, Lin Tianci saw a three-meter-high iron-gray thing lying across his field of vision.

It barely has a human shape in appearance, and because of its wider body, even if it is three meters tall, it looks a bit short and fat, that is, it is particularly stocky.

This is an iron golem, used by the ancient elves to move bricks.

When he encountered this thing just after entering the door, Lin Tianci could only complain about his bad luck, and immediately opened his posture to start fighting. Hetty stepped back a few steps to make room for Lin Tianci to ensure that he would not cause trouble.

And then Sally said:
"Don't rush to do it, look, what is that iron golem doing?"

At this time, the door was fully opened, and Lin Tianci saw a lot of metal fragments and parts on the ground, as well as a lot of blood, and even some corpses dressed up as soldiers.

The iron golem that Lin Tianci saw just now was holding a square metal bucket, picking up parts on the ground into it.

Is this cleaning...

However, such a big movement of opening the door would naturally be noticed by the iron golem. It turned its burly body, and looked at Lin Tianci with the face of "just have a face", and the gemstones in its eyes gleamed red.

It doesn't look like a welcome at all.

Immediately, the iron golem moved its feet and approached Lin Tianci with the sound of thumping, and stopped about five meters away from him.Makes a sound that sounds like electronic synthesis.

"Visitors, please indicate your permission, without permission, you will not be allowed to enter."

The voice is an ancient elf language, and you can directly understand the meaning of the language without learning it.

"Show it the Ring of the North Wind."

If Sai Li hadn't said that the iron golem was not in danger, Lin Tianci would have almost slapped the brick on it, and raised his right hand upon hearing this.

The iron golem's eyes lit up with a layer of azure aura, swept the North Wind Ring up and down, and then said:

"Welcome back, the highest authority has been obtained."

"Ymir used to be the person in charge here, and he has the authority to control the entire factory."

After explaining a sentence, Sai Li spit out the ancient elf language to the iron golem:
"Take us to the main control room."

"Order accepted."

After speaking, the iron golem put down the metal barrel, turned around and walked forward step by step, as if to lead Lin Tianci and them.

After the iron golem got out of the way, Lin Tianci saw the real whole picture inside.

This is a corridor of unknown length. Just like the gate, it is all inlaid with a whole piece of metal plate, about five or six meters wide, and the top is painted with lighting runes. They are still working well, emitting white light It illuminates everything clearly.

— This of course also includes corpses.

Lawrence and Xie Xiuyun were obviously not as lucky as Lin Tianci when they came in. They didn't have permission to enter, not even visitor permission, so they were regarded as intruders.

Along the way following the iron golem, you will see the corpses of several soldiers every few meters. Some of them seem to be crushed to death by heavy objects, while others seem to be cut by sharp objects. One is miserable, playing mosaics in this scene can be considered a blessing.

Even Lin Tianci, who had exercised in the Training Heart Pavilion, felt uncomfortable and frowned.Hetty, who was originally a pampered princess, also resisted the discomfort of nausea and dragged Lin Tianci's cloak forward.

But far from making Hetty back down, she felt that these soldiers deserved it, and hoped that Lawrence could also become this kind of virtue...

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

The automation level of the ancient elves is actually very high. Take the mobile aircraft carrier that Lin Tianci visited before, a military floating city, and its operators do not exceed [-] in total, so just a few people can drive it to kill gods Buddha is extinct.

The same is true of this factory and research institute. The mining and smelting of minerals, and the assembly and manufacture of golems are all completed by automated assembly lines. There is no need for the ancient elves to participate in person. Even if the equipment is damaged, there are special technicians and golems to repair it.

So when Celie said 'take us to the main control room', it certainly wasn't all on two legs.

After walking with the iron golem for about 1 minute, the iron golem turned its body sideways, revealing the opposite space.

Lin Tianci saw a huge transportation network.

This is an excavated underground cavity, and its height cannot be estimated, because Lin Tianci can't see where the bottom layer is.

In this cavity, countless tracks are criss-crossed and arranged densely together. It looks like a mess when you look at it, but in fact these tracks are managed in an orderly manner.

One by one has four legs, and the wheels are on the feet, and the body is more like a table. The machinery travels on these tracks. Some of them carry ore on their backs, and some carry semi-finished parts on their backs.

The twilight is connected into one piece, and it looks like underground stars from a distance, which is also dazzling.

"In the original design of the ancient elves, this place should be a labyrinth with more than a dozen forked roads, but after the iron and steel field took over, they changed it to a more efficient transportation system. They mine minerals underground and smelt them into metals. Send it to the factory to make the parts, and then send it here for assembly.”

The scenery in front of her made Heidi temporarily forget the corpses she saw along the way. The girl really couldn't imagine that there would be such a large and advanced underground facility on the edge of Gray Ridge City where she lived.

Hearing Sai Li's words, Lin Tianci asked:

"You talked for a long time, but you didn't say what the steel field is."

"Didn't I say it? Maybe I forgot, you know how easy it is for me to miss the point when I talk about these topics."

"..."

Dare to know it yourself.

At this time, a table-shaped transport machine slid along the rails and stopped quietly in front of Lin Tianci and Hetty.The Iron Golem also made a please gesture with those stubby-looking fingers.

"Is this thing reliable?"

"Don't worry, you won't be heavier than tons of ore."

After all, I still feel a little uneasy, especially Hetty, if Lin Tianci falls, he can still use the wind force to save his life, and Hetty can only rely on the flying talisman.

The two sat on the machine carefully, and the latter made a beep and began to slide slowly along the track.

"Where did you just say? Oh yes, the steel field."

While moving along the rails, Celie said:

"The ancient elves plan to seal this place for 5000 years, and then dig it up to see if there are any mechanical life forms inside. After all, their average lifespan is about 1500 years, and 5000 years is a long time for the ancient elves, so they will study related All the information on it was sealed and archived. But I didn’t expect that a catastrophe happened during this period, and even the ancient elves were gone, so not many people knew about it, and I happened to be one of them.”

Although moving along the track was smooth, the speed was getting faster and faster. Lin Tianci and Hetty had no choice but to hold the handles on both sides. It seemed that the ancient elves also did the same.

"Under the control of the mechanical brain, the research institutes and factories that are sealed underground still continue to produce, dismantle and maintain the golem according to the established procedures, but there seems to be some mistakes in this process, or coincidences, what are the specifics? I don’t know, how the soul is born is the secret of the Creator. At present, only a certain witch can figure out why the soul is born. As far as the result is concerned, the self-aware mechanical life form that was indeed successfully born within 5000 years of being sealed here, And use the factories and research institutes left by the ancient elves to start 'reproduction', the number is increasing, and a huge mechanical kingdom is gradually established underground. Now what you see is just the tip of the iceberg, this is the steel field. It's just that the ancient elves didn't want these things to threaten them in the future, so they kept a backhand, and all mechanical life forms would not threaten the elves. This means that if you hold the North Wind Ring, you are the king of the steel field , has very high authority."

Then Sally added:
"However, this is not a panacea. After all, the steel field is not full of pure mechanical life forms, and there are also life forms after mechanical transformation. These half-mechanical, half-biological existences are unlikely to obey your orders. They usually do not go to the surface, so Almost no mortal will find them. Lawrence and Xiexiu found it here by relying on the fragments of photocopies left by the ancient elves. There are very few descriptions of this place, just marking the location. But I am different, my There is an original copy of this part of the archive in the clock tower, which we blue goblins once stole during the catastrophe... er, got it by chance."

Okay, I heard you say you stole...
