The mountain sat motionless in the shop. The loud noise coming from the city of gears seemed to be absent to his ears.

Ever since the mountain sent those who carried out the plan to the roof of the building, he had been waiting for something. The success or failure of the plan is no longer relevant.

The motionless mountain suddenly turned his head, and he heard footsteps, very familiar footsteps, and then a familiar figure appeared at the door of the shop. The owner of the figure hesitated and walked into the shop.

"Yun, you're back so soon, is it because the plan didn't go well?" Shan asked, although he already had the answer in his heart the moment he saw Yun.

"The Device Club has manipulated the Skywalk, and they have taken control of the Sky Explorer. "No, it should be said that they have adjusted the location of the Sky Explorer and the closing device. The Sky Explorer on our side became a shut-off device, and the shut-off device on their side became the Sky Seeker Tower. ”

"It's actually this kind of means. Shan didn't show much surprise, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "What about the planners?"

"The cast escaped, and both the Giant Mouth and the two fuels refused to proceed with the plan, or I could have taken them to the Device Club to have a look. Yun replied truthfully, with unwillingness in his tone.

"Well, I've worked hard for you, let's go and rest first. I'll take care of the rest. Mountain said.

Yun nodded and went back to his shop.

Shan sat for a while, combed through the information brought by the cloud, got up and walked out of the shop. There is not much difference between what was expected and what happened, but how to deal with it must be carefully considered. The mountain walked quickly and slowly in the screw alley, where he was going now, where Catherine had often gone before—the warehouse of the boss's hand. Since the old wrench has made a prediction, it must be time to think of a way to deal with it.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse in the boss's hand, through the rows of tall, dimly lit metal shelves, the half-human-tall machine puppet in the center of the warehouse is still busy. Yama walks over to the circular table and watches the robot puppets make different contraptions.

"You're not going to carry out the plan, how can you have time to come here?" the metal mouth flew from the shadows, hovering over the mountain's head.

"Let me hear your thoughts. "Sure enough, the plan went wrong, and the device club got started." ”

"What did they do?"

"Take control of the Sky Explorer. Actually, I don't understand, what is the benefit of doing this? Do you independently probe the exit of the box? This seems to be beyond the capabilities of the Device Club. ”

"I had earlier guessed that the installation club had a connection to the outside of the box," said the metal mouth. This time, I am afraid that their actions are the result of a coalition with the forces outside the box. ”

"There is no evidence to prove your previous speculations. ”

Metalbeak was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Since we can have a technical agreement with the Nest of Steel, so can the Device Club. ”

"Do you suspect they're connected to the Nest of Steel?" Shan stopped looking at the machine golems and looked up at the metal mouth.

"The Nest of Steel is a huge force, and there won't be only one person who has the ability to enter the box. ”

"What you say is always speculation. ”

"This is a good opportunity to confirm my suspicions. The metal mouth flew down and stopped on the mountain's shoulder, and commanded in an inaudible voice for nearly a minute.

Yamabian nodded as he listened, and when the metal mouth was finished, he asked, "Are you sure you want to do this, what if this has nothing to do with the Iron Nest?"

"If it doesn't matter, you should let the Nest of Steel know that there are other forces outside the box meddling. The metal mouth flew up from the mountain's shoulders into the darkness of the warehouse, its voice coming from afar, "Maybe the Nest of Steel is waiting for us to tell them what happened here." ”

Shan gets instructions from the boss's hand and returns to Screw Alley. He walked into the repair shop, walked around the mountain of piled parts, and sat on the edge of a metal bed grinding a part.

Shan stepped forward and said, "We need to activate the long pass cannon." ”

Tu put down the parts, got up and walked to the metal cabinet next to him, and took out a few square metal plates from inside. "That's all there is to it, and there's only a limited amount of information that can be burned. ”

Shan nodded, thought for a while, and said: "You just carved these words: 'There are forces outside the unknown box intervening, and the Tower of Exploration is seized', 'No assistance, difficult to fight', and 'Quick assistance'." ”

Holding the carving knife in his hand, he quickly burned it on the metal plate as he listened, and metal shavings splashed out from under the carving knife, and even brought out a lot of sparks.

The mountain stood beside the soil and watched, and after each metal plate was carved in the soil, the mountain would pick it up and wash and read. The fine lines on the metal plate are so intricate that it is impossible to make out the words from them. I don't know how the soil used to weave the words spoken by the mountain into these tiny lines. After the mountain finished reading the metal plate, it was put back in front of the earth.

After the soil has completed all three metal plates, the mountain has also been inspected. The two of them took the metal plate and walked together towards the back of the metal bed, and there was a small rectangular door in the wall behind the metal bed, and there was a narrow passage through the door.

After walking in the hallway for a minute, the mountain and the earth came to a room with a semi-dome. A large, thick pipe that required two or three people to hug it poked out from the semicircular roof and pointed to the sky, and the walls of the pipe were carved with rows of metal lines, each of which was connected by a special circular brushwork. Bursts of soft blue light light light up and transmit in turn between the rows of lines, which seems to be very regular and rhythmic.

Underneath the tube is a base that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, and a humanoid robot golem is embedded in it, and its lower body is integrated with the base.

"I'm short on time. "A voice came from the direction of the roof. The mountain and the earth looked up at the same time, and saw the metal mouth fly out of the darkness hidden by the round pipe, hovering in front of the two of them.

"It takes time to make a dashboard. Shan said, then motioning for Tu to hand the carved metal plate to the humanoid robot puppet on the base.

The humanoid machine golem took the metal plate, and suddenly opened its mouth and stuffed all three metal information plates into its mouth. A crack cracked in the base, and as the gap expanded, the humanoid robot golem slowly sank into the gap.

The gap swallowed the humanoid machine puppet and closed it again, and a muffled "boom" sound came from the pipe.

Metalbeak said, "I've gotten word that the Device Club is preparing to launch the Sky Explorer. ”

"It's been so long, I thought the Sky Explorer had been launched. Mountain said.

"No, it doesn't look like they were going to launch during the scrap cleanup. ”

"Then we can send a message to the Nest of Steel before they do. ”

As if to cater to the mountain, the "boom" in the round pipe stopped abruptly, and at the same time, the entire pipe body emitted a dazzling blue light.
