Chapter 617: Chapter 536: Evacuation
If the whole mission was arranged by the Heavenly Enemy, then he certainly thought it through very carefully.
The Purple Crystal Jungle is remote, devoid of life and predators, and the upper space is suspected to connect to a magma layer that continuously heats the crystal pillars.
The newborn chanical civilization can use a technology similar to molten salt heat storage to obtain cheap electricity for a long ti, enough for them to grow up and climb the technology tree again.
(Copperplate engraved books are generated in the city’s buildings, with a technological level equivalent to the era of Astronaut Will, including radio communications, chemical engineering, chanical manufacturing, etc. With effort, they could build nuclear power plants and artificial satellites.)
The entire process may take ten to several dozen years, and after that, it will be up to them.
Li Cheng contemplated as he overlooked the town, the Heavenly Enemy didn’t leave too advanced technology for the chanical civilization, as mastering technology that would significantly alter the surrounding environnt might attract the attention of other entities in the killing field and lead to danger.
It’s better to grow slowly in a remote corner.
As for suddenly being struck by calamity leading to the extinction of the race… The Information Integration Glasses could clearly see that the high tower in the city’s center, disguised as a Bell Tower, is actually a war colossus that, when awoken, is comparable to a high-level Transcendent.
If outsiders discover this city and think it can be bullied and invaded due to weak defensive strength,
then the war colossus will suddenly awaken, stand up from the Bell Tower, and use terrifying firepower composed of ship cannons, torpedoes, missiles, lasers, and even hydrogen bombs to destroy all hostile targets in view.
‘The villagers sharing nuclear fusion technology with you in the civilization ga turned out to be true.’
Li Cheng silently mocked in his heart, casually instructing the chanical civilization not to disclose their location, including himself, to the outside world. He then left the Purple Crystal Jungle with Gray Rain aboard the Edge Fighter.
Upon leaving, adhering to the principle of being thorough, he, along with the Frog God, used the Floating Engine to return tons of purple crystal rocks to their original place, sealing the passage opened by the Light Speed Elbow Strike.
When the chanical civilization can manage to drill out of the rock layers themselves, they will probably have acquired so self-preservation capabilities in the killing field.
Flying back along the original route to the Land of Beautiful Dreams, Li Cheng and Gray Rain leisurely disembarked from the fighter, finding only Wanli Sealed Blade, Griffin, and Mian Yue on site, “Where are the others?”
“Claudia completed her mission and withdrew, Reyes and White Horse Tombstone were seriously injured and returned to Earth for ergency treatnt at the killing field. They set up the signal beacon and left.”
With only one arm remaining and covered in blood, Wanli Sealed Blade bit open a glue tube, applied it to the shoulder stump for simple hemostasis, and declined the Bear Goblin arm Li Cheng offered.
At this ti, the colorful mist of the Land of Beautiful Dreams surged again, engulfing all the tal structures shed by the Alpha Python.
About a kiloter away from the colorful mist, a small modular building resembling a signal tower stood upright on the ground.
This is the beacon, a product of the GOC, priced cheaply, capable of emitting radio signals similar to a plane’s Black Box.
The difference is, the Black Box can only work for three months after losing power, whereas the beacon sends signals every few hours, extending its operational life to two years.
If there is sunlight, geothermal energy, or other energy sources nearby, it can even run unsupervised for over ten years.
This helps exploration teams scattered across the killing fields to increase their chances of finding this location.
Upon finding it, certain rewards are given to those who set up the beacon, based on the value of the special location.
Griffin looked at the huge tal structures looming in the colorful mist with so regret, then turned his head seriously: “The Mushroom King and Hundred Feet have also retreated, thank you all this ti.”
She and Mian Yue exchanged intelligence and had already learned that this mission was actually a triple play, and the appearance of the Alpha Python was no accidental coincidence but a part of the mission.
The players were lucky to survive, and completing the mission was pure profit.
“Just mutual assistance.”
Li Cheng waved it off. Without the non-human players providing gas cylinders and helping to attract firepower, he couldn’t have cleared the level.
“Speaking of which, I’m still sowhat curious.”
Sitting on a rock, Mian Yue squinted and asked, “What did that Astronaut Will say to you in the end?”
It’s known that the Land of Beautiful Dreams is Will’s mory, and after his hotown’s destruction, he beca a Level 40 Transcendent, and even after death, spanning tens of thousands of years, he still pushed through a certain plan.
She’s not worried about Will resurrecting; firstly, there’s no conflict of interest, when Will beca a Transcendent, Mian Yue’s world hadn’t been selected by the killing field.
Secondly, the ti span of tens of thousands of years is too long, even if Will could resurrect with residual essence, he definitely wouldn’t be the Level 40 he once was.
“Well…”
Li Cheng chuckled, “In his last monts, he asked to help find a specific computer of his sowhere, reboot it, and delete the browsing history.”
“So, it’s a restart? What, to keep a clean slate in the mortal world.”
Wanli Sealed Blade rolled his eyes, knowing Li Cheng was bluffing, but if he didn’t want to talk about it, so be it, “I’ll be going now, contact in the friend channel if anything cos up.”
“We’re setting up a beacon and leaving too.”
Mian Yue got up from the rock, pulled out a scarecrow from the Backpack and placed it on a low slope beside the colorful mist.
The scarecrow seed crudely made, wearing an ill-fitting handmade sweater, but intermittently emitted spiritual energy signals, spreading hundreds of kiloters away.
The two worlds have different technological routes but converge on the sa approach, both using beacons to guide exploration teams.
Amateurs see the excitent; professionals watch the subtleties, and from the frequency and distance of the scarecrow’s spiritual energy broadcasts, it’s clear that Griffin and his world’s technology is on par with Modern Earth.
“Is this convergent evolution?”
Gray Rain appeared wise, squinting while pondering: “Mammals like whales and dolphins, reptilian ichthyosaurs, evolved streamlined bodies adapted to underwater environnts just like fish;
Pangolins in Asia and anteaters in South Arica evolved similar long tongues for eating termites;
When I play gas, I always run into slackers just like .”
?? You seem quite proud of that, huh?
Mian Yue and Wanli Sealed Blade showed strange expressions, briefly bid farewell, and disappeared on the spot.
Gray Rain saw Li Cheng still standing there and asked, perplexed, “Aren’t we leaving?”
“There’s one last thing.”
Li Cheng took out an NFC Card, swiped it at the Heat Death Corridor, summoning the Frog God, instructing it to release an Anti-gravity Domain towards the depths of the colorful mist in the Land of Beautiful Dreams.
Rumble——
Massive tal structures resembling mountain bodies floated upward, slowly drifting out of the colorful mist under gravitational guidance.
Most of the Alpha Python’s body shell had been absorbed by the Land of Beautiful Dreams, wiped away like with an eraser. Even so, the salvageable tal components amounted to a scale of 200,000 tons.
“A top-secret blade-running Land of Beautiful Dreams, 48 hours, two hundred million kilograms gracefully retreat.”
Li Cheng vigorously rubbed his hands together, commanding the Frog God to stash all the tal components into the Three-dinsional Warehouse, signaling Gray Rain to return to the Electronic Pet Egg.
Before returning to the real world, he didn’t forget to look around, tossing both the signal station and the scarecrow into the colorful mist of the Land of Beautiful Dreams to prevent the place from being discovered by exploration teams, which could affect the new chanical civilization far away.
…
The Land of Beautiful Dreams returned to tranquility, and just half a minute after Li Cheng vanished, a humanoid figure draped in rags, its visage indistinct, slowly approached.
It gazed silently at the spot Li Cheng and Gray Rain disappeared from, suddenly raising its hand,
causing the signal station and scarecrow, which had been thrown into the colorful mist, to fly back out of nowhere and plunge into the ground again.
Beep, beep, beep.
Electromagnetic waves and spiritual energy signals continued to echo throughout the wasteland.
