Chapter 123 The alarm that sounded quickly
Two great elders of the Shen clan with different personalities were talking, and a "standard" demon clan leader came towards him. While walking, the soles of his feet and the ground made a sound of steel colliding, making a bang.
It turned out to be a steel giant!
The two elders of the Shen clan knew that this was a demon of the Machine Armor clan who had completed the transformation of his body.
He was obviously a great demon of the level of a ten thousand men, but he was five times taller than the two of the Shen clan. However, the steel demon stopped respectfully in front of Taotao and Jiejie and saluted.
Then he moved away from the side carefully.
"Wait," Taotao called him, "Your voice is not right. It's because the friction of the transmission mechanism near your left leg is too serious... Didn't you use better engine oil?"
The captain ten thousand men shook his head blankly, and Taotao scolded: "As the Machine Armor clan, he is so unrespectful to machinery! It's outrageous. Have you fallen into depravity? Do you think that as long as you rely on magic, everything will be fine!"
The head of the Wanfu did not dare to argue at all, and quickly lowered his head to admit his mistake, which made Taotao nodded with satisfaction: "The son is a good teacher, so he went back to the warehouse to collect No. 9 engine oil and special products. He said it was my permission."
After the ten thousand men left respectfully, the two great elders continued to move forward.
"Why has the magic circle here not been arranged yet?" Jie Jie suddenly frowned and looked at an empty room next to him.
"Do you know why you are only ranked fourth and I am ranked third?" Taotao said, "because I am a purely big engineer, and you... are not just a big engineer, but also a big arcane!"
"Are you... praising me?" Jiejie said in confusion.
"Of course not! I mean you are not focused enough!" Taotao refuted, "As the great elder of the Shen clan, he actually ignored his clan's principal and wasted your talent in engineering machinery to study arcane techniques? Are you still counting on being able to fight the great demon of the ten thousand men in person?"
Jiejie said coldly: "The clan leader is the best arcane master."
“…Anyway, only machinery is the right way!”
The two of them argued and moved forward, and finally arrived at the destination - a huge space at the end of the passage.
The power core of the steel fortress is endless here, with only dense mechanical devices, thick steam filling it, like a sea of clouds. From time to time, huge pendulums whistling down from the "clouds" and disappearing in the sky on the other end...
The roar of the huge gears rotating like thunder, rumbling across this space.
This situation is shocking.
The two great elders of the Shen clan looked at the magnificent scene in front of them, revealing joy and joy from the bottom of their hearts.
They stopped for a while, then stepped onto the steel suspension bridge and walked towards the core area of this core space.
At the end of the suspension bridge is a secret room made of brass.
Taotao and Jiejie cooperated and skillfully opened fifteen locks and seals, and finally opened the door of the secret room.
The room was unexpectedly clean and tidy. The flat ground and four walls were paved with some kind of opaque crystal material. The ceiling was also made of the same material. A circle of light strips were inlaid around it, emitting a cold but soft blue light.
The whole room was empty, with only a sudden operation table standing in the center.
It is not difficult to imagine that this is the control center of the entire fortress.
The mechanical devices inside the huge space outside supply the operation of the entire fortress and the energy required for combat.
But there is still one step away. The last step is to let this fortress, this medium-sized interface move! It can freely navigate the universe and the boundary river.
This requires more powerful power energy, some more advanced and completely different power sources.
Today, the two great elders of the Shen clan came for this.
"Have you brought the stuff?" Jiejie asked.
"Of course, what do you think?" Taotao asked back, then reached out to take out a box the size of a palm from his pocket.
Considering that the Shen tribe is generally small in size and put in human hands, the box is probably only half the size of a palm.
Looking at Taotao's dirty pockets, Jiejie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "That's how you treat the 'artifact'?!"
"Don't care, I promise it's in perfect condition!"
Taotao opened the box, but there was a brass gear inside, with a simple and exquisite shape.
This gear has a texture and has some weight, but you can see that it is slightly suspended a millimeter above the velvet lining, and is slowly rotating.
Taotao stretched out his hand solemnly, and the gear, which was about five centimeters in diameter, still did not contact his fingers - he took the gear out through a millimeter invisible barrier.
"Endless power source..." Jiejie also looked at the brass gear with intoxication.
"One." Taotao added.
Jiejie ignored it: "I didn't expect that the patriarch would be willing to take it out and give it to Sophia for use."
"This is also part of the research," Taotao said, "Anyway, there is another one... and, after all, it's His Royal Highness. After all, a princess in our Shen clan has finally appeared, so of course we have to support it with all our strength."
"Okay, put it on quickly." Jiejie urged.
The two of them put the gears to the operating table together.
At this moment, the ground under my feet suddenly trembled...
They immediately realized that this was a common vibration of the entire interface, otherwise the core in this core would not have any trace of shakenness.
Immediately afterwards, a female voice with a metal tremolo sounded out of thin air.
"Alarm, alarm, alarm, alarm in the whole world!" The mechanical sound set in advance echoed in the air, and the origin of the sound was taken from the fifteenth princess Sophia herself.
Zhanzhoujie has been completely transformed into a military fortress, so this level of alarm is not uncommon - at least it will always be used in daily exercises.
However, Sophia is under her command of the mechanical legion she personally manufactured. Only a few demons from the Machine Armor clan live here as technicians, and a smaller number of Shen clan engineers are assisting her in construction and design work. In addition, there are no more demons in this vast medium-sized interface.
So the exercise doesn't need it at all.
This is the first time that this level of alarm sounds!
"Damn it! Is that little girl going to fight? This is too anxious!" Taotao shouted, "Is there anyone who is blind and who actually attacks here?"
Due to the vibration just now and the surprise in their hearts, the two of them couldn't help but shake their hands, and the brass gear fell from their hands and fell on the operating table.
"Leave quickly! Sophia is about to close the core area!" Jiejie reacted, grabbed Taotao and ran out.
Once the fortress is in a state of war, key departments and locations such as these will be completely locked and completely defended. It will also activate the automatic defense system. At that time, any debris that does not belong to the system itself will be attacked in all directions until it turns into ashes!
Taotao seemed to be unable to put down the brass gear, but Jiejie persuaded: "Just leave it here, I can't run away anyway... After the war is over, we will continue to work!"
No wonder Jiejie thought so. Since the core area would be closed, it is undoubtedly the safest to leave the precious brass gear here.
Taotao knew this too, so she quickly adjusted her mindset and ran to the nearest safe house with Jiejie.
Suddenly there was another violent vibration, and the gears fell off the operating table, making a crisp sound, but were covered by the huge noise around them. Taotao seemed to have noticed it, and subconsciously looked back, but did not pay attention to more details.
The brass gears rotated drippingly on the ground, then suddenly changed its movement posture and rolled straight towards the door.
The moment the door closed, it bounced up suddenly and stuck on Taotao's work clothes belt.
Taotao and Jiejie hurriedly ran towards the nearest safe house.
Because the Shen clan's body is really weak, there have always been bad comments about "demon scum". Therefore, ordinary Shen clan demons cannot intervene in frontal battles at all.
Moreover, Taotao and Jiejie are even more powerful elders, and it is even more impossible for them to go to danger easily.
At the beginning of the renovation design, Sophia took these into consideration, so she set up safe houses in many places in the fortress to provide shelter for members of the Shen clan to take refuge in the event of danger.
"The first level of combat readiness in the whole world, the target is about to arrive, the number of targets is one, the center teleportation array is ready..."
The metallic female voice was informed in an orderly manner, largely to inform the two elders. After all, the Mechanical Legion did not need such notice - they were directly under Sophia's control.
"The main gun is charged...the main gun is charged."
"Air Defense System Starts..."
"The army preparation is completed..."
"The fleet preparation is completed..."
...
"Hey hey hey, this is too exaggerated! Is this going to start a full war?" Jie Jie couldn't help but be amazed as he listened to the fortress host's announcement.
As if he heard his sigh, the female voice with metal texture continued: "Target strength level... King! Danger level... Extremely high!"
"The target is coming... Entering alert and surveillance mode... Recalculate the enemy and us judgment..."
"Announcement: Princess Sophia is about to return... The Archangel is ready."
Chapter completed!
