Chapter Eighty-Nine: Hickstu's Early Warning (1)
The next day, Duck got up early in the morning and came to the briefing room early to wait.
The second one was George, who greeted him warmly: "Morning, Duck, it can't be that you didn't sleep last night, right? β
"I can't stay idle. Even if you don't have a task, it's good to know how your work is progressing. β
"Then sit down. β
After a while, everyone came and greeted Dark. Duck smiled and waved to everyone, and although he smiled a little reluctantly, he did have a smile.
Isabella and Riley caught him in the middle of each other, as if they had made an appointment.
Duck laughed.
George began to give a briefing.
At present, the Cult of the Dark God is growing rapidly in the North Sea region. Whether it's the headquarters of Fort Bagpipes, the Stamford Floating Island purchased from Jacques, or the main base of the Whiskening Ice Field, progress is rapid.
"The Whistling Ice Fields are the smoothest here, and the production plant of the Cruel Angels has begun to take shape. The next step will be our central work. A strong force under our direct control must be created. If you have any good ideas, please feel free to share your opinions. β
Riley spoke first: "Over the past month, we have disabled and transformed the Xenomorph Storage Room and the Biochemical War Beast Research Institute in Atalantis, turning them into efficient slime cultivation rooms. Now that Thunder Slime and Steel Rock Slime have been integrated into our technology system, combined with the Slime Training Room, we are expected to solve the problem of lack of magic energy and defense system within half a month. β
"The biggest problem?"
"Raw materials. The original plan was to take advantage of the superstitions and traditions of the Jagenke people and preemptively exploit the seabed deposits, but," Riley couldn't help but glance at Dark, "for some special reason, those rich ore areas on the seabed have now become dangerous radiation zones, and the cost of mining is much higher than buying directly from Jacque. β
Duck's expression was as usual, and he looked pampered.
Ramos said: "With such a big sea, is there no other mine to mine except the radiation zone?"
"It was Booth who did it. Booth unleashed the Diving Carrier, what we call the North Sea Troll. They have carried out destructive autonomous mining of mineral deposits on the seabed, digging up intact veins to pieces. Mining is even more difficult than mining in the radiation zone. β
Duck couldn't help but ask, "Two questions." First, why not just use the Nucalair reactor, and second, is there a way to remove radiation? β
The others whispered.
Ramos explained, "The Nucalair reactor is the technology of the Atalantis, and its magic energy output is very powerful, but who knows if there will be any after-effects?"
Duck shook his head, "I don't think it's dangerous, it's not related to mind control at all." Think about it, no one cares about it, and it can still operate autonomously on the seabed for so many years, which shows that it is technically feasible and mature. Putting a short path and not going around the long distance is not the spirit of the researcher. β
This time Ramos was adamantly opposed: "Before we imitated the Psychic Hive, most people thought so. Without...... You'll be a madman, and we'll be slaves to Booth. β
Duck didn't flinch: "I've heard George say an Oriental proverb: 'A guy who doesn't eat because he's afraid of choking is a fool.'" 'The Nukalel reactor is just a pure magic energy generator that doesn't involve any mind control - if it does, it's a surprise. Mr. Canedy knows everything about it, so why don't you ask his opinion?"
George bowed slightly at Canidy.
Kanidi said calmly: "The magic energy output of the Nukalel reactor is too high, and the lack of supporting facilities is easy to leak the magic energy. In fact, the reactors on the seabed have been operating at the lowest possible power. β
George added, "In other words, using it rashly could cause a lot of magic energy to leak and create a bunch of epic creatures?"
"Not only that, but the sudden increase in the output of massive magic energy must attract the attention of those who are interested. We may have solved the problem of lack of magic energy, but we have to face more unknown new troubles, and it is definitely not as simple as choking - my advice is to use this technology as an alternative. β
Duck thought about the Epic Slime in the sewers of Snell Harbor and nodded in agreement, "Got it, so what about the second question?"
George said: "Radiation is a very special kind of magical energy, and the matter it penetrates will be polluted and also produce radiation. It decays over time and eventually becomes harmless, but this natural process usually takes a hundred years. We can't wait. β
Dark's chair under his ass was shifted, "So, the current method isβ"
"Dispatch the Cruel Angels' Machines 2 and 3, with the assistance of the Deep Sea Team and the Deep Blue Team, to destroy the underwater air cushion controller and inject seawater into the Nukalel reactor to isolate radiation and avoid reuse by outsiders. β
"Sounds like a reactive approach - what's going on with the number three?"
"Wilde, he has his own cruel angel, has been experimented with several times, and he is very well adapted to it. β
Isabella looked at Duck with some concern, she was afraid that the name would irritate him.
Dark's expression was the same: "Once the air cushion is destroyed, it will be difficult to rebuild, is it really going to smash the heritage of all the Atarantis?
George and Canedy shook their heads together.
"Since the essence of radiation is a special kind of magical energy, it must be reused. The nature of the 'pollution' you just mentioned is interesting, and maybe the technological system of the Atalantis can't solve this problem, so how about a different way of thinking?"
George Qi said: "What idea?"
"Pillars of Hydra. It can extract minerals deep underground, and it can also absorb a lot of magical energy - Kutbarozze's prototype can absorb all the thunderbolts, and I don't believe that it will not be able to deal with the radiation after the transformation. Ladies and gentlemen, why can't we think of a radiologically contaminated substance as a mineral with special magical powers?"
Everyone was stunned, and then they all bowed their heads and began to think about the feasibility.
Communication Towers - Defense Towers - Psychic Towers - Pillars of Hydra, four levels, from high to low, form a unique construction and development system of the Cult of the Dark God. Among them, the Pillars of Hydra are the super alchemy crucibles. Integrating the alchemy technology of the ancient Noziks, it can extract a variety of minerals from the ground and crystallize on the roots of the earth's roots, and if the area has more magical energy, it can also combine magical energy with minerals to create a large number of strange items.
Duck continued to think big, "I'm curious to see what would happen if you combined this special magical energy of radiation with certain minerals. Then turn these radiated magical minerals into weapons or armor......"
The shock in everyone's hearts cannot be overstated.
George coughed lightly, "Be careful, don't digress." Work something out. β
"I'm sorry," Duck said, "if this idea can become a reality, then all it takes is the Cruel Angel to dive to the bottom of the ocean and build the Pillars of Hydra in the air cushion." As soon as the first one is built and operational, the radiation zone will gradually shrink and the safe zone will gradually expand. We have access to both seabed resources and a unique set of equipment materials. β
Isabella was surprised and delighted: "Dark, how did you come up with that?"
Duck smiled faintly: "Alchemy is like a tree, knowledge is its sunshine and rain, continuous moisture, there will always be a day when it will blossom and bear fruit." Then again, it's just a pipe dream, and there's still a lot to do. β
George said, "Then, now that the vote begins, please raise your hand if you agree with Dark's plan...... Very good, unanimously passed. Soβwhat's the matter?"
A guard hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in George's ear, George's brows furrowed, and he said to everyone: "Everyone, Hickstu, the holy envoy of the Cult of Light, has arrived outside the door, he has brought some key information, this is the end of today's meeting, and the relevant plan will be issued later this afternoon." Dark, Isabella, Canedy, and Riley stay and adjourn!"
