Yi Gong Xuanran had a wide range of knowledge, and when he saw everything inside the Snake Pan Mountain, he couldn't help but exclaim. What surprised her was not the high-tech products that appeared here, but the sense of incongruity between advanced and backward.

For example, there are recuperative furnaces, but there is no energy supply and maintenance equipment to match them. The huge furnaces, which occupy most of the space in the steel plant, are not powered by nuclear reactors, but by energy batteries connected to the incinerated coal mine and large reactors.

Under the conditions of unevenness, the energy efficiency is maximized. They divert the heat generated by the furnace to the water purifier to complete the water circulation, and the rest of the fugitive energy is collected and supplied to some small production facilities.

These production facilities are very old, and they don't look like they can produce drone parts, but Gong is clear that he sees many robots in the steel mill and underground mines. In addition to the part that was obviously modified from the Heavenly Court drone, there are many robots that are made up of simple parts, and those things that look like a hodgepodge of waste products work well, which is really incredible.

They are not only used for mining, but are also sent to the foot of the mountain to assist in planting. The arable land there is also a bit strange, with a few pieces of fairly fertile land popping up out of thin air, even though the soil around it is extremely poor and there are no active rivers. On this small piece of farmland, two drones are unskillfully manipulated by several workers, watering and fertilizing back and forth, which looks absurd.

The internal structure of the steel plant is clear at a glance, and Gong Xuanran did not find a decent production line in it, and she did not believe that those few earth-made machine tools could make the chips necessary for drones. The number of workers here is small, the technical level is almost zero, and I don't see anyone engaged in design and manufacturing activities in the real sense, so the truth is really as the white dragon who brought him here said, everything in front of me is built by just a few people?

Under her gaze, the white dragon grumbled and laid the canopy flat on the ground. complained to a bald man about the trouble on the road: "If only these two people left each other a token according to common sense, I would save myself from running back and forth with a pig on my back." ”

"You're Xuanzang?" Gong Xuanran asked.

"Not bad." Xuanzang looked at the woman hidden behind the leather trench coat and wood carved mask, and felt that the other party was also looking at him.

Gong Xuanran was silent for a while, looked around, and said, "So, is this the purpose of you and Bailong forcibly abducting the canopy?" ”

"Not exactly. A lot has happened in the meantime, and less than a month ago, we took this place and made it a stronghold. ”

"From the seizure of this steel mill to the scale it is now. Less than a month? Gong Xuanran asked in disbelief, "Even if it is transformed on the original basis, it is too fast." I don't believe that drones are also used in this place. ”

Xuanzang replied: "We have adopted some special means. But most of the work that made these things so quickly was due to the canopy. In addition to these, the early warning system you see outside is also his handiwork. ”

"He had access to all kinds of resources when he was in Gaozhen, but he didn't get to see him do all of this. Even without the restraint of the Immortal Buddha, his personal ability is not enough to accomplish this, so I am curious about what exactly you call a special method. ”

"Before we do that, we have a few things to confirm with you. Although on the way, the white dragon had already told me all about the situation. But we still have a lot of questions about you. Xuanzang glanced at the canopy, which had not yet regained consciousness, and asked Gong Xuanran, "Do you mind if I wake him up?" ”

"Please."

"I thought you would say no. You never showed up during the canopy in the Cloud Stack Cave. After he arrived in Gaozhen, you just borrowed a tavern to keep an eye on him. I thought you wouldn't meet him. ”

However, Gong Xuanran replied: "I didn't say that I would take off my mask." ”

Xuanzang raised his eyebrows. Turning to the Nine-Tails on the other side, he motioned for her to lift the canopy's soul freeze. After Nine-Tails did so, he left the room as he was told. Only a few of them and the Bone Spirits were left.

After Canopy regained consciousness, his body slowly returned to his human form. The speed of his change seems to be directly related to his physical condition, and for him, he was still weak because he was in the middle of a noise attack for the last second. It took him a few minutes to complete the transformation, sat up in a trance, patted his head a few times hard, and then opened his eyes and asked blankly, "Nezha is gone?" ”

"It's been a whole day." Bai Long unceremoniously shook his head and faced Gong Xuanran, "Open your eyes and take a good look, is this your old lover?" ”

Under Xuanzang's explanation, Tianpeng finally cleared his thoughts, looked at Gong Xuanran blankly for a while, and then said: "I'm sorry, I don't remember what that young lady looks like, and you are wearing a mask......"

"Got it, you want to see someone's chest, right?" Bai Long turned his head with a wicked smile and said to Gong Xuanran, "I told you on the way, he only remembers your chest, so do you want to take off your clothes now?" ”

Tian Peng hurriedly stopped: "No, no, no! Please don't make such a request to others, it's too rude! ”

"You don't have to take it all off, what are you anxious about? Besides, I don't know how many layers of clothes you wore in the first place. ”

Gong Xuanran didn't know what the expression was on her face covered by the mask, she just looked at the two of them silently, and then sighed to Xuanzang: "How did you have the courage to let people move their dangerous companions to the tavern when you weren't sure of my identity, so as to lure me up?" ”

"After some speculation, I decided to give it a try, given the possibility of success. Truth be told, among these speculations, the only memory you have of the canopy is the most important. Xuanzang replied with a serious face, so that Tianpeng couldn't help but look away, and then he said, "It's not that I only want to confirm your identity until now, you will choose to save him, which proves that you are the person we are looking for." What I want to know more is, why do you hide your existence from the canopy? ”

"It's very simple, he's sensitive, and I don't want to be exposed because of him." Gong replied.

Xuanzang nodded: "He is indeed the weakest link." Canopy bowed his head and let out a sad sigh. So why help the canopy to regain its human form? Xuanzang asked again.

Gong Xuanran lowered her head slightly, as if she was hesitating about something, and after a while, she replied in her hoarse voice: "It's a favor for him." ”

"We've seen it before? Before I was relegated to the earth? Tian Peng asked in surprise.

"Earlier than that. Because you certainly won't remember, and it's okay to tell you. Gong Xuanran's voice suddenly brought a smile of emotion, "Before you became an immortal, you saved my life." (To be continued.) )
