Chapter Seventy-Nine: Preparing for War
In a corner of the wilderness that has not been blessed by the stars tonight, steel spears are everywhere.
This military base is already under full martial law, and all the forces that can be put on the table have been deployed.
Mines, power grids, sentry posts, the number of patrolling teams inside and outside the base was more than tripled this night.
As a teacher born in Russia, the supreme leader of this base smelled something unusual early.
It was a night when he was restless.
It's not just that there's a patient lying in the base's special observation room at the moment who doesn't know when it's going to turn into a ball of fire, and it's not just because of the orders that came from above.
This teacher, who once begged for a living in the sea of blood in the sword mountain and climbed step by step from the big head soldier to the current position, always felt that something would happen tonight.
"Have you checked everything?!Wipe my eyes tonight!"
Several adjutants conveyed orders on behalf of the Russian division commander, and an atmosphere of imminent battle soon spread throughout the barracks.
"Buzz~!"
At about twelve o'clock in the night, a strange sound was heard in the distant sky, far and near, and the lieutenant fired several flares into the sky.
"It's a Sentinel Transport!"
Through the binoculars, they could see the appearance of the comer, and several lieutenants immediately screamed in their hearts.
Damn, if you don't come sooner or later, you just come when you detain a mutant in the base, what does that mean?!
"Division commander! Massive sentinels are coming towards us from ten kilometers away!
Underground, in the base, the secretary who got the news is asking for the teacher's opinion.
10 kilometers is not too close, and if the mutants in the base are disposed of at this time, there will be no reason to take this base even if the sentries are suspended above the base.
"Load him up and get him out!"
The teacher didn't hesitate at all, as if he knew what to do in advance.
When it comes to sentinel robots, a 'high-up' like him definitely knows more than a junior like a secretary.
He knew what they were here for.

"Jingle bell~!"
The secret stronghold of mutants in the cave has turned upside down, all kinds of metal materials and pipelines are constantly flying in the air, and the sound of gold and iron is constantly ringing, as if someone has invited an indoor symphony orchestra.
"The position of the conduit should be a little more skewed! Hey, hey, hey, not in that direction! The position of the No. 9 rectangular column is also incorrect!
Controlling the flying metal all over the house was Magneto, Mo Xie took the drawings and 'overseer' on the side.
The band is a good band, but this conductor is too slight.
"Hey, this drawing is so complicated, can't you just simplify it when you designed it?!"
The thankless Magneto rarely lost his temper, and he even laughed in the face of Mo Ye's 'crooked'.
"Damn, the simplified version is fine! You give me enough 'energy cores', not much, a few hundred are enough! I'll help you get it in minutes!"
The people in the stronghold deliberately set aside a large space for these two 'best', and only Rogan and Professor X can see some clues about what these two people are busy with, except for the parties involved.
This must be some kind of energy furnace, right?
Logan felt that what Magneto was assembling was similar to the inner core of the Sentinel Robot, that it was much larger, and if there was a shell capable of carrying it, it would probably be a giant standing tall in the sky - of course, it was just an exaggeration.
The machine that Magneto and Mo Xie were assembling was only about three or four meters high, three or four meters wide, and three or four meters longβbecause it looked like a ball three or four meters in diameter.
There are many hollows on the entire sphere, and the lights in the stronghold shoot down from the roof of the cave, and it is easy to cast dappled light and shadows on the ground through the sphere.
ββ¦β¦β
As soon as he heard that hundreds of 'energy cores' were required, Magneto immediately stopped talking, and for a while, only the voice of the 'overseer' oppressing the 'working people' was left in the cave.
β¦β¦
"Finally better......"
About an hour later, Mo Ye sighed as he looked at the large orb in front of him.
The 'Electromagnetic Energy Cooker' is complete!
Mo Xie carefully checked it three or four times with his perception, and finally confirmed that he and Magneto had indeed built the furnace exactly according to the instructions on the drawing, and then nodded at Magneto.
"Connect the wire, after the initial charge is completed, this thing can borrow the energy of the geomagnetic field to run on its own, and within 100 meters of the 'electromagnetic energy stove', the charging speed of the 'high-pressure particle cannon' can be increased by 50%!"
Mo Ye patted the outer surface of the energy furnace and casually connected a few wires.
"Zizi~!"
After a burst of electric sparks, the core of the energy furnace suddenly emitted a soft golden light, which was faint at first, like a candle flame would go out, but it quickly stabilized, and the brightness continued to increase.
"It worked!"
Unlike Mo Ye's physical perception, Magneto didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he saw this scene.
He couldn't believe that he had succeeded in bringing the technology on the drawing to life - at least half of the content on the drawing was something he couldn't understand.
"What's next for us? Atomic Resonance Generator?"
Magneto rubbed his hands, and a pair of old eyes stared at the drawings in Mo Ye's hand.
If he had some doubts about the value of these drawings before, now he has completely believed them.
Believe, and then regret.
He regretted that he hadn't been able to meet Mo Ye earlier.
The person he regretted meeting Mo Ye earlier was Professor X.
Magneto believed that if he had been able to get acquainted with Mo Xie earlier, or even when Mo Xie's 'energy endowment' ability had not yet been lost, I am afraid that the pattern of the entire world would have changed.
"If I had gotten acquainted with this person earlier, where would the mutant brothers still be displaced and almost wiped out?!"
Magneto sighed, but on second thought, it wasn't too late.
"I'm afraid that the manufacturing conditions of the 'Atomic Resonance Generator' cannot be reached here, so we will make more 'high-pressure particle cannons' and improve them at the same time!" Mo Xie said, while he looked at the time.
It's 11:25 now, and it's very close to the 'Lonely Mountain Regiment' in the original historical process.
As time approached, the ominous creepy feeling in Mo Ye's heart became stronger and stronger.
He knew that they had to seize every minute and every second to strengthen themselves.
"Magneto, I need to double the caliber of the gunfire, and the rest of the parts must follow!" Mo Xie held up the drawings with his mental strength, and he pulled out a few drawings from them, "I have left the other drawings here for you! These copies are a little flawed, I'll revise them~!"
He grabbed the blueprint and swaggered out of Magneto's workshop.
