ALL NOVEL Chapter 418 The engine roars!
Nearly half a month has passed since several disappearances occurred in the Starry Night Kingdom overnight.
The one-month deadline agreed between Xia Zuo and the Faceless Man is getting closer and closer, with only the last seven days left.
In the southern part of the Wildhammer Kingdom, on a desert burned by the sun and high temperatures, everywhere is filled with the smell of scorched earth.
Breathing in the air here is as dangerous as kissing a flame.
The southern border of the Kingdom of Wildhammer is divided according to water resources.
It is limited to the river extending to the southernmost point, and the territory north of the end of the river is the kingdom's territory. There are no river resources that can be directly accessed in the south, and the unity is abandoned by the kingdom.
Across the border, 50 kilometers south, in an absolutely deserted place with no trace of human activity, a large group of blood servants covered in reflective alchemy cloth were inspecting the newly built heavy weapons launch platform under the command of flesh and blood clones.
In order to ensure that heavy weapons can operate normally in a hot environment, Xia Zuoduo spent some time and modified the core components with [Blood Dissolves in Iron] to ensure that every launch process can operate normally with an abundant supply of vitality.
After using the [Space-Time Phase Simulator] to deduce the consequences of accepting Little Golden Wattle Flower's proposal, Xia Zuo finally decided to accept the sacred oath proposed by the other party and become an ally with the Golden Wattle Flower tribe, and let them help him transport heavy weapons.
The process of swearing an oath was unremarkable, with no ceremony and no witnesses.
Xia Zuo and Little Jin Jinghua were like playing house, reciting the oath face to face and swearing by their own names.
This seemingly hasty oath is extremely powerful.
After Xia Zuo formed an alliance with the Golden Wattle tribe, he was surprised to discover a strange phenomenon in the [Space-time Phase Simulator]:
No matter what plan he makes before deducing the future, "Xia Zuo" in the future timeline will definitely carry the Little Golden Wattle Flower!
When Xia Zuo asked little Jin Jinghua about this phenomenon, the other person smiled proudly and did not reveal more.
At this point, the oath was officially established.
The Golden Wattle tribe assisted Xia Zuo to eliminate future troubles.
As a price, Xia Zuo will have to use a magic clone to carry the Little Golden Wattle Flower from now on. If you have the opportunity to go to other planets in the future, you should also take the little Golden Wattle Flower with you. This is the ethnic fire left by the Golden Wattle Flower tribe around Xia Zuo.
The Golden Wattle tribe's method of transporting heavy weapons across the ocean is simpler than Xia Zuo expected.
They sent a group of plants with bead-shaped fruits to come to Xia Zuo, and Xia Zuo stuffed the alchemy bags containing heavy weapons into the hollow fruits.
This plant with huge fruits, because of its juicy and delicious pulp, was sent to the Botanical Research Institute in the Eastern Continent for cultivation to study the feasibility of artificial cultivation.
Xia Zuo's flesh and blood clone waited for a moment near the Botanical Research Institute, and several earthy brown tree roots emerged from the soil, handing the fruits containing the alchemy bags into the flesh and blood clone's hands.
A total of 60 brand-new heavy weapons, full of 500 cubic meters of full-power ammunition, were brought to the Eastern Continent by the Golden Wattle Flower tribe without even falling to the ground. This directly increased Xia Zuo's chance of winning in deducing the outcome of the battle by 5%, which is considered to be a good thing. Worth it.
One kilometer south of the southern border of the Kingdom of Wildhammer, within the area numbered 899 to 903.
A fleet of earth drilling vehicles carrying drill bits is driving slowly.
One of the underground drilling vehicles broke away from the team, stopped at the border line, drilled holes in place, and hid it underground.
The remaining underground drilling vehicles continued north, directly above the Faceless Man's underground base.
Today is the best time to fight the Faceless Man. This is the conclusion Xia Zuo came to after repeated deductions.
The Faceless Man's base is located about 500 meters underground. The section from the ground to the underground caves is entirely composed of hard rocks and strange protective formations.
In the timeline from [Future.36] to [Future.318], "Xia Zuo" sent a team of hematin servants to sneak into the underground. After countless failures, he summarized the entire underground protection system structure.
An extremely detailed distribution map of the protective array has been engraved in Xia Zuo's mind and distributed to the flesh and blood clones responsible for drilling into the ground.
The drilling convoy dispersed after arriving at the predetermined target location, and nine vehicles began drilling from nine different directions.
Eight relatively small earth-drilling vehicles carry ultra-high-speed alchemical drill bits, which are more maneuverable and can drill down at extremely fast speeds to open up a tunnel about one meter wide.
Like gophers digging holes, they stirred up dust and gravel that were flying all over the sky, and quickly burrowed into the ground. The low rumbling roar accompanied by weak earth vibrations spread along the border of the Wildhammer Kingdom.
Don't worry about the sound and vibration of drilling into the ground alarming the Faceless Man.
At this time, the Faceless Man was in a critical period of deep meditation, and it was difficult to wake up from meditation. It was for this reason that Xia Zuo chose to take action today.
The only thing that will hinder the movement is the protective array underground.
The fast-moving small ground drilling vehicle is used to destroy the energy nodes of the protective array.
After they drilled straight down to the designated depth, they immediately turned around and moved horizontally. They used multi-enchanted drill bits to break open the metal outer wall of the protective array. They penetrated directly into the core of the array amidst the head-scratching noise and used the rapidly rotating drill bits to hit hard. The ground shreds the radiant energy nodes.
"Bang bang...bang..."
The faint sound of node explosions came from the dark hole.
The only super-large earth drilling vehicle left on the ground immediately turned on its full power.
The alchemy engine made roaring air waves and explosions, and dazzling fire rushed out from the engine's exhaust pipe, doubling the temperature of the surrounding air.
The power of the hydraulic transmission rod is surging, and the eight metal brackets placed around the earth drilling vehicle are inserted into the ground with a bang. A dozen metal grapples are ejected from the brackets and embedded in the ground, stabilizing the ground drilling vehicle in all directions. Chassis center of gravity.
The extremely heavy all-metal enchanted drill bit is eight meters high and weighs up to 1,300 tons. It can no longer be driven and transported by physical means. It can only rely on the anti-gravity array configured on the super-large underground drilling vehicle.
"Boom! Boom!"
The alchemy engine roared ferociously, like a furious beast.
The anti-gravity array was filled with several times of energy, and the giant drill slowly changed from a lying position to a vertical position under the traction of the mechanical arm.
The metal warehouse plate where the giant drill bit is placed is cracked, allowing the giant drill bit to look straight down into the ground.
"Boom boom boom!"
The alchemy engine trembled violently, overloaded with energy, and sprayed flames.
A regular magnetic field appears in the anti-gravity array, attracting the permanent magnet inside the giant drill bit, and using the powerful magnetic field to make the giant drill bit spin rapidly.
The dull accelerating sound of "buzz buzz buzz" became more and more rapid, and the mechanical arm and anti-gravity array were gradually unable to restrain the huge power of the giant drill.
The flesh-and-blood clone standing in the cab of the super-large earth drilling vehicle beat its chest in salute to the endless desert and shouted:
"For the master's victory!!"
The mechanical arm instantly decoupled from the giant drill, the alchemy engine exhausted the last bit of energy from the energy storage device, and the anti-gravity array failed at the same time.
The giant drill bit, which had lost its restraints, came into close contact with the earth with its fierce attitude and indomitable momentum.
A large area of ground collapsed due to the contact of the giant drill bit. The super-large earth-drilling vehicle was instantly swept into the tunnel by the airflow stirred by the giant drill bit. Anything in direct contact with the giant drill bit was turned into powder in just 0.1 seconds.
On the heavy weapons production platform 50 kilometers away, the flesh and blood clone stood in the temporary command post and shouted to the hematin servant guarding the control station:
"For the victory of the master! Launch! Launch! All launch according to the preset sequence!"
Silent hemonic servants execute their master's plans with precision.
They extend several slender blood lines from their spherical bodies and press the launch buttons on the console in sequence.
The first thing to set off was the alchemy missile, which had a slow initial flight speed and needed more time to climb to a high altitude to accumulate potential energy.
They slowly lifted off from the launch silo, dragging their golden-white tail flames into the clear sky, and soon turned into tiny white dots in the blue sky.
Next to set off was the alchemical sling that flew in a parabolic trajectory. The heavy boulder equipped with the guidance module of the hemogen servant flew out with the help of the energy accumulator woven with tough blood thread.
These boulders are not ordinary rocks.
They integrate a set of universal flame accelerators that can stabilize the flight attitude in the air and further increase the flight speed.
In the crackling spray of sparks, the heavy boulder adjusted its flight posture and landing point at an extremely fast speed, and then output all its power at once, turning into a flaming meteor and heading towards the vertical tunnel drilled by the giant drill.
They set off after the heavy boulder, but the alchemy flying saucer arrived at the entrance of the corridor first.
These gadgets, which are no more than the size of a football, are like buzzing mosquitoes and are extremely annoying to opponents.
Their shells are very elastic, and they will continuously eject in a narrow enclosed space, spraying various energies attached to the surface of objects along the way, eroding everything passing by, and eventually a fireworks display will occur when the energy is exhausted. of explosion.
After being transformed by [Blood Dissolved in Iron], the corrosive energy sprayed by the alchemical flying saucer has turned into a more sinister and vicious poison. More than a dozen deadly and maiming vicious poisons are enough to destroy all the elemental servants in the Faceless Man's underground base.
Each alchemy flying saucer has a hematin servant on it to guide the flight direction. Like a flock of birds flying from the sky, they swarm into the vertical tunnel and follow the giant drill straight into the ground.
Xia Zuo, hiding on the edge of the battlefield, commanded everything remotely.
He took out his pocket watch and counted the time silently.
After deducing hundreds of future timelines, he came to a lot of insights.
For example, the effectiveness of heavy weapons bombardment depends on how quickly the Faceless Man can wake up from deep meditation.
If a normal mage encounters external interference during deep meditation, it only takes three seconds at most to wake up.
Xia Zuo originally thought that the faceless people could also do this, but judging from the performance of the faceless people in the future timeline, the deep meditation of wild elements is obviously different from that of human mages.
It takes a full 5 to 8 minutes for the faceless person to wake up.
The slower he wakes up, the more effective the heavy weapon bombardment will be.
Time passed minute by second, and at the moment when the heavy boulder was about to reach the entrance of the tunnel, the giant drill successfully drilled through the ceiling of the Faceless Man's secret base.
The structure inside the base is not as hard as the outside, so the giant drill bit continues to drill down even when it loses traction.
In the end, it easily penetrated the ceiling and floor of the three-story secret base from top to bottom, and disappeared into the soil under the bottom floor, leaving a dark hole to prove that it had been there...
The alchemy flying disc that followed the giant drill to the underground base bounced around on each floor, splattering purple-black toxic mist everywhere.
Those elemental servant alchemists who were also faceless and made by the faceless people were still executing the last orders given by the faceless people.
They maintained their working posture, allowing the poisonous mist to corrode their clothes, penetrate their bodies, and melt into a pool of foul-smelling pulp in the increasingly intense poisonous mist.
"Good luck."
Xia Zuo showed a smile.
It has been 7 minutes and 13 seconds since the protective circle outside the base was destroyed, and the faceless man who had already received the warning still did not appear.
Obviously, Xia Zuo randomly arrived at a development direction that was more beneficial to him in reality.
