Cataclysm King.

Chapter 441 New World Science and Technology City

  One month later.

Black Teeth Forest, this is an uninhabited land without any markings on the map of the Eastern Wasteland.

 In the dense forest, birds were chirping.

 But if you look closely, you can see that the feathers of some birds on the branches have a metallic luster.

Not just birds, but also mechanical beetles, mechanical civet cats, and various bionic animals.

This is the base's mechanical guard.

  A huge human gathering place is under this forest.

The Song family began to lay out and build multiple secret bases decades ago, and this "T-11 Chaoyang Base" is one of them.

Now it has the size of a large underground city.

Now almost all the cutting-edge mechanical talents in Donghuang are gathered here, and it is a base full of technology.

 So it now has a new name, called "New World Science and Technology City".

 Methods that it is different from the technological capital of the decadent old era.

Technology City is more like a magical steampunk style super mechanical factory.

 The city is divided into details, including planting areas, living areas, production areas, and combat training areas.

 Pedestrians wearing external mechanical devices can be seen walking around everywhere.

 At this moment, the residential area is house number 1002, which is an apartment full of technology.

 This is Dong Qi’s apartment.

Dong Qi's status within the Mechanical City is very special, not only because she is a good friend of Song Can, the head of the Song family, but more importantly, she is already a first-class mechanic in the field of machinery, and she is also trained in the field of mecha combat. The one who is always number one in the field.

 So Dong Qi owns this independent small apartment in Machinery City.

Ji Xun and Dong Qi have been back at the base for more than half a month, and they have always lived here.

At this moment, the entire apartment was flashing with blue magic energy welding light.

 The machinist's apartment was not only a place of rest, but was often also a studio.

 The apartment is very spacious, covering an area of ​​over a thousand square meters.

However, it is so wide and densely packed with various equipment and parts as far as the eye can see.

Various mechanical tools are hung on one side of the wall, and a large number of drawings are fixed with thumbtacks on the other side of the wall. In the room are various large instrument lathes and military-grade black technology equipment. There is also a dedicated area for magic equipment and a hard-core mechanical workbench.

The most eye-catching thing is a rusty heavy armor.

Ji Xun knew this set of mechas. It was the [Thunder God Generation]. Dong Qi once designed the earliest batch of mechas.

Compared to the majestic Hunting God Armor in the laboratory, this Thor Armor is like an antique, simple and dilapidated.

 It has long lagged behind this era.

 More like scrap that should be put into a furnace and reforged into steel.

 But Dong Qi took it out of Honglou and kept it with him.

Now I broke it down using a steel cable and hung it at the most conspicuous entry point of the room to commemorate the time when I embarked on the path of mechanical design.

At this moment, a special welding light flashes in the laboratory.

Dong Qi was wearing greasy work clothes and was concentrating on manipulating eight octopus-like robotic arms and welding a silver arm full of cracks.

This [Smart Octopus Mechanical Arm] was made from the blueprints brought out from the other-dimensional space.

 As long as there are drawings, the technical difficulty is not very difficult, but it is very practical for machinists.

 After Dong Qi came back, he had the base factory work overtime to get it out, and now it is very easy to use.

On the other side of the room, in the reference room separated by glass, Ji Xun was reading various cultivation classics.

Just like they had been in Honglou, the two of them had become very accustomed to this kind of tacit and peaceful relationship.

Not long after, the welding light disappeared, and a strange black light suddenly flashed in the room.

At the same time, Dong Qi exclaimed angrily through his protective mask: "Oh my God! It worked!"

Ji Xun raised his eyes and looked over.

Looking at the isolation warehouse, Dong Qi was manipulating the silver arm to do some simple finger movements.

On the other side, a target made of "Troll Alloy", which is said to be the hardest in the base, had a hole the size of a fist.

Seeing this, even Ji Xun cast a surprised look: "Is it really done?"

Being able to destroy the target means that the black light just now is the dark energy beam that I have seen the mechanical angel that can annihilate everything.

[Angel Alloy] is completely indestructible. After Dong Qi got the fragments, he was troubled for several days and had no idea how to use them.

But it happened that the base's research on the Mechanical Angel's weapon system had achieved certain results, and with the [Mechanical Angel Anti-Matter God-Destroying Device Concept Diagram 1.0] given by Ji Xun, and enough technical support, she came up with a wonderful idea. way to think about it.

 That is to use the fragments as accessories and remount them on another robotic arm with a sophisticated new structure.

Although the spliced ​​robotic arm is far less stable and powerful than the original version, it cannot fully replicate its functions.

 But in theory, it is enough to support the launch of the "dark matter magic artillery", and this is enough for now.

 I have tried repeatedly in the past few days and failed many times.

 Dong Qi never gave up.

Just now, that ray of black light shot out from the muzzle, proving that all her efforts were not in vain!

 Dong Qi put down his work and immediately wanted to share the good news with Ji Xun.

She took off her heavy work clothes, revealing her sweaty body, and waved happily through the glass: "Ji Xun, come and see."

Ji Xun also walked out of the data room and came to the workroom.

Dong Qi couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, his eyes flashed, and he gave Ji Xun a warm hug: "Ji Xun, did you see it? My repair was successful! Hahaha, let me just say, my design is No problem! The 'Tesla structure' is fully capable of supporting impacts of this energy level."

Ji Xun looked at the happy pretty face and hugged the sweaty body, and was equally pleased: "Yes. Qiqi is very powerful."

 The two of them knew what this meant.

 The newly designed mechanical arm can just replace one arm of the Hunter God Armor. In this way, Dong Qi's armor can be regarded as having a secret weapon that can threaten the top powerhouses.

  This means that the current base truly has the ability to protect itself.

Even if you really encounter a Titan armor, you might be able to give the opponent a "surprise".

This dark energy cannon is enough to break through the protective armor of the Titan armor.

While excited, Dong Qi was also a little dissatisfied and muttered: "Ah, it's a pity that the fragmentation destroyed the original energy-draining structure, and the super **** mantra was also damaged a lot. My current understanding is that it cannot be repaired. Such a situation Come on, the power is very limited. I estimate that even a completely stable finished product is only twice as powerful as the cannon just now, and the charging time is still very long, so the frequency of use on the battlefield is very limited. .”

"hehe."

Ji Xun smiled slightly as he listened.

 This is purely a fly in the ointment.

The weapon system on the arm of the Mechanical Angel does not use pre-stored energy modules like batteries, but is more like human card masters, drawing energy from the universe at any time.

This kind of real-time energy-draining technology relies on special materials and those inscribed super-god incantations.

Ji Xun has seen the dark matter annihilation cannon released by the remains of an angel before. The energy storage time is also not short, but the power is more than ten times that of the previous experiment.

I don’t know how strong the once complete Mechanical Angel was.

 But even at the current experimental level, this is already an exaggeration.

With such a shot, whoever gets hit will die.

 As a mechanic, Dong Qi certainly hopes to solve this problem perfectly.

Since she couldn't solve it herself, she pouted slightly, put her arms around Ji Xun's neck, and said, "Ah Ji Xun, what do you think we should do?"

This is an intimate act of coquettishness, and also a certain kind of expectation.

I don’t know since when, Dong Qi seemed to have a strange feeling in his heart, as if someone could always bring surprises to difficult situations that he couldn’t solve.

Ji Xun shrugged, knowing what she was thinking, and joked: "I'm not as proficient in mechanics as you are. You can't solve it, so what can I think of?"

Dong Qi didn't take it seriously. He blinked, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said, "Tell me, will this problem be solved when your level of the secret technique of "The Lightless Sun" is high enough?" "

"this"

Ji Xun hesitated for a moment when he thought of this.

 Because in his deduction, Dong Qi's statement is not impossible.

　　Previously in the extra-dimensional space of "Thousands of Armies Siege", Talon High Priest Nan Shen reminded that the mysterious magic method of "Lightless Sun" has very special uses.

 At that time, Ji Xun also confirmed that this was also the source of the mysterious annihilation power of the Mechanical Angel.

However, Ji Xun's current practice of "Lightless Sun" has only touched the appearance of "repulsion", and is far from understanding the principle of "annihilation". The "dark energy" that can annihilate everything seems to be an element that does not exist in this universe.

　　Except for the [Dark Matter Crystal] previously obtained from the remains of the angel's corpse, at least Ji Xun has not sensed it anywhere else.

　This thought made my mind wander a little.

Dong Qi looked at Ji Xun's contemplative expression, but didn't want to embarrass him. He said with a smile: "Just say it casually. It will be solved in the future."

As she spoke, she looked at everything in the studio and Ji Xun in front of her, and said with great pride: "I always feel that I will create a more powerful armor than the Mechanical Angel in the future."

Ji Xun came to his senses and nodded with a smile: "Yeah. I think you can do it too."

 There is no upper limit to technology.

 Mechanical Angel represents the pinnacle of Talon Empire’s mechanical technology, but it does not represent the upper limit of machinery.

At least the goblin civilization, dwarf technology, and some weird technological civilizations in many myths and legends can eclipse the gods and demons.

The two of them looked at each other, a man and a woman alone, and the atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.

 Dong Qi was wearing only thin underwear under his heavy work clothes, and it was still wet.

The originally thin material suddenly seemed to have no cover, and it had just the right hazy touch.

Ji Xun supported her and squeezed her naturally.

Dong Qi had a slight smile on his face and let go of his big hands, but he said: "Ah, it's a lot of sweat."

As she said something, she thought of something and smiled: "Besides, isn't your friend, the Allied Commander, coming today? You can take a shower and then go out."

Ji Xun heard this and looked at the time, "Yeah. Same."

 The teleportation array was established a few days ago, and the secret base in Donghuang has a direct connection with the Old Continent.

  The living environment in the Old World is very harsh. Guerrilla warfare often requires relocation of bases, which is not suitable for large factories at all.

  And there are not so many equipment and technical personnel.

 After all, 80% of Donghuang’s top mechanical resources are in the Song family.

 So many of the massive materials and drawings found in the old continent are piled up in warehouses and cannot be turned into physical objects at all.

 This dilemma is over.

In the past few days, a large amount of materials, drawings and equipment have been sent from the Alliance Army.

 With enough material support, the production line of the Hunter God Armor can reach full capacity.

Several Hunter God Armors can be produced every day, as well as a large number of other mechanical equipment needed for war.

 And this output will continue to grow with technological improvements and factory expansion.

 Hordes of mechanical legions are just around the corner.

 And it is precisely because of the God of Hunter armor and equipment sent from New World Technology City that the situation of the Alliance Army in the Old Continent is getting better and better.

 One mechanical armor can kill level 6 card masters reliably, and several of them combined can kill level 7 card masters.

This not only gave the Alliance Army a basis for survival in the confrontation with the mercenaries of the Southern Continent. They can also use these armors to eliminate high-level disasters and monsters, and to open up dangerous areas and extradimensional spaces that they did not dare to enter before.

 As a result, the Alliance Army will be able to harvest more high-level materials.

 In this way, a virtuous cycle is formed.

 But the problem is not that there is no problem.

 That is the relationship between the two parties.

 The cooperation between the Alliance Army and the Eastern Wasteland New World was originally a cooperation contract between the Lion-Hearted Family Catalina and the Song Family Song Can.

 This is a business partnership, not an affiliation.

 But in the eyes of anyone in power, this kind of business cooperation is not stable.

 So Catalina came here this time to talk about the future cooperation.

Anyone with a discerning eye can actually guess that as the leader of the Alliance Army, she must want to make this relationship completely stable.

The best thing is to join the Alliance camp and serve as an exclusive military factory.

 This is where Song Can is in trouble.

Although this "T-11 Chaoyang Base" was established by the Song family.

  But the reason why it was renamed "New World Machinery City" is because Song Can is a manager with great ambitions, not just a profit-seeking businessman.

 What he wants to build is a free, equal, open and neutral future science and technology capital. This is the best soil for developing mechanical civilization and cultivating mechanical talents.

 This is what her grandma once said.

This is also a common concept among countless mechanics.

 No matter who is in power in the future, their “new world” will be the capital of pure academic freedom.

 So it is not appropriate to join any force.

 Otherwise, once certain relationships are established, they will cause hidden dangers for many years to come.

 This makes Song Can still a little embarrassed.

He knows very well that now the Eastern Wasteland has been controlled by the Oran Royal Court with the Silver Moon Faith. Once the Old Continent Alliance fails again, there will be no place for the "New World" in the Eastern Wasteland.

 This is a civilized interest, not a simple commercial transaction.

ˆBoth parties must cooperate long-term and closely to ensure that both parties can survive.

Song Can also understands the concerns of the Alliance Army.

 In fact, as far as the current situation of both parties is concerned, there is no need to worry about cooperation issues at all.

 But what if you die?

Or maybe Catalina is no longer the Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces?

 Rights will corrode human nature, this is inevitable.

The Allies are really about to change their commander, and there will be many variables in the future.

The federal government has seen too much of intrigues, robbery, and scheming in the political arena.

 There are still many problems that need to be solved.

 That’s why Catalina came in person at such a critical juncture.

 This made Song Cancai feel even more embarrassed.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Allied Forces must give him face.

 Even if it is rejection, it is impossible to reject it completely.

So how should we face this negotiation?

 Fortunately, Ji Xun is here.

Just as Ji Xun and Dong Qi were taking a shower and getting ready to go out, in Apartment No. 1001 not far from their apartment, a fat man in a tuxedo was also arranging his clothes in the mirror.

Song Can attaches great importance to the upcoming meeting.

 Looking at himself in the mirror, the fat man frowned slightly.

 He guessed what would be discussed in this negotiation.

 The commander of the Alliance Army was very powerful.

 If we really want to talk about it, it will be very difficult.

Song Can sighed slightly.

 Looking back, it was because of Ji Xun's matchmaking that he got acquainted with Catalina and got the Lionheart family's first military industry order.

　That was because I was still an inconspicuous steward of the Song family, not the head of the family.

 Because of Ji Xun's introduction, he had the qualifications to be a member of the Lion Heart Family at that time.

ˆKatrina’s unconditional trust provides the basis for cooperation.

 Hence Song Can’s future cooperation with Lion Heart Family is grateful for that kind of trust.

 However, it was because of this relationship that this negotiation made him feel embarrassed.

But then, without knowing what he thought of, Song Can's worries disappeared and he said to himself: "Oh, it's a good thing brother Ji Xun is at the base, otherwise this negotiation would have given me a headache."

And he also learned some gossip about the Allied Commander-in-Chief from some sources.

Thinking of this, the fat on Song Can's chubby face twitched, and he grinned: "Hehe, but then again. Brother Ji Xun is still the most powerful, the 'Silver Mist Rose' who is famous among the federal aristocracy, and countless young people The young lady from the Lionheart family, who is not even a talent, was captured by him."
