"Is it set up?"

"Everything is ready to go. Early in the morning, in a corner on the outskirts of the city, Mia straightened up and raised her thumb in response to Shuer's inquiry, under her feet, a huge magic array was glowing with a faint light, the light on the magic circuit gradually faded, and soon, the ground returned to normal, and there was no difference between it and the surroundings, only a mage who is proficient in magic could perceive it, and there were faint magic fluctuations here all the time, and once activated, it would produce corresponding effects.

"Very well, then the final preparations are done. Shul nodded, "You can contact the town hall and get ready to get started." ”

Around Mia, the other six shadow chasers were watching, and even Delia was watching the completion of the magic array. In the past few days with the shadow chasers, the little girl will no longer be surprised by this, in her heart, it is normal for these strange new friends to flicker around them, isn't there a stupid person who plucks an acorn from his hair and wants to trick himself into tasting it, no matter what they do beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Of course, having said that, it was a very novel experience to witness such a complex magic array gradually taking shape in front of her eyes, and the beautiful and terrifying light blue big sister in the girl's eyes obviously didn't do anything, just stood in place with her eyes closed and her arms open, and as a result, countless glowing lines extended outward from under her feet, layer by layer of rings, crisscrossing lines, and magical symbols that could not be understood between the lines, all automatically generated under her feet. The girl listened to the uncle's introduction, this thing is called the teleportation circle, which can make people appear directly in the center of the circle from a location dozens or hundreds of kilometers away, which is everyone's last retreat. Delia didn't wonder why the Shadow Chasers had left a way out, because she knew that they were about to take her on an adventure that would be watched by the whole world.

Yes, going deep into the heart of the mechanical camp, climbing the Tower of Babel, searching for lost pre-war technology and materials, and finding a way to find the weaknesses of the mechanical camp, this is the content of the big adventure, and this is also the agreement reached in the talks these days.

The cross-world exchange meeting lasted for three days and ended only yesterday, and this is the result of the pursuit of efficiency on both sides, and if it were normal and did not have ten days, I am afraid that it would not have been finished at all.

Because the two sides really don't know each other's situation at all, especially on the local side. The Shadow Chasers can also use the city network to get some insight into the state of the Brown Star, at least the state that has been publicly available for decades, but the local side really has no way to learn about another world that is separated by distance, so it is impossible to negotiate anything, so both sides spend a lot of time introducing each other's situation, and this part is the main content of the talks.

During the three-day talks, the Brown Star side showed enough sincerity to share almost all the information, in Shure's words, that is, to use us, if it succeeds, this information will be completely meaningless, and if it fails, the dead will not leak secrets, of course they are generous. Of course, this is just talking, because the whole Brown Star attaches great importance and the sincerity of the information The Shadow Chasers did receive it, unlike the previous meeting with the president, this meeting, they learned a lot of things that they simply could not understand from the city's open network, so that many speculations no longer stay in the speculation stage.

Sure enough, just as the shadow chasers guessed, there was no capital area at all, and the brown people did not find out about this fact at first, but as time went by, the communication links between the sky cities were re-established, and the various cities summarized the amount of resources allocated each year, and found that these resources were not at all supported by a so-called capital area, and if you want to mine resources of this type and scale, the area of the capital circle must cover at least one-third of the brown stars to achieve it, and if you can really control such a large area, there is no need for humans to shrink on the sky city。

Soon after the cities confirmed this conclusion, the mechanical faction revealed their true colors, and they were not as vicious as people had previously thought, but only absolutely sane. The mechanical camp knows that although it is far superior to humans in other aspects, its most fatal weakness is that it does not have the same creativity as humans, and if a civilization loses its creativity, it is equivalent to losing its future.

Therefore, in order to make up for its own shortcomings, the mechanical camp has captive the remaining humans and let them study new knowledge on their behalf, the so-called mechanical invasion, just to put pressure on the human side and let humanity burst out to its maximum potential on the verge of despair. It wasn't until the human found out about the problem that they simply jumped to the front desk and talked to the human camp, and the two sides reached a tacit understanding of serious inequality.

The high-level of the human side should keep the secret for the mechanical side, try their best to convince the people that the capital area really exists, try their best to maintain the past cooperation model, and exchange new research results for all necessary materials, while the mechanical side needs to reduce the pressure on the human side, weaken the strength of the mechanical invasion, and ensure the safety of each sky city to the greatest extent, it was an attempt to capture the Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel is the common lifeblood of machines and humans, and human beings need the Tower of Babel to provide energy to support the operation of the Floating City, and the mechanical camp also needs the energy of the Floating City, and they cover almost the entire planet's signal transmission, which is also transmitted by the Tower of Babel. Once the Tower of Babel in a certain place is destroyed, the activity of the mechanical camp individuals in this area will be reduced, and the combat ability will be much less than before, and if some destructive data is directly imported into the system of the Tower of Babel, then these data will spread to the global mechanical camp for the first time, which will have a serious impact on the mechanical camp, and may even cause fatal damage.

In fact, in the past few years, the city in the sky where the shadowchasers are located has been under increasing pressure from mechanical invasions, and it is also directly related to the direct attack on sending spies to try to infiltrate the Tower of Babel a few years ago.

But even so, the city's upper echelons are still unrelenting and continue to try to invade the Tower of Babel. Because the Tower of Babel is the biggest weakness of the mechanical camp, this statement has long been a well-known secret, and the high-ranking people in every city know it. Of course, no one has succeeded so far, so no one can be sure that this will be a target that the mechanical camp deliberately exposes to divert attention, but this is already the only hope that human beings can see, if the status quo continues to be maintained, the scientific and technological level of the mechanical side continues to improve, and the gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger, and human beings will always become captive animals, it is better to fight hard, in case of success, maybe human beings can still have a future.

This information, only the officials in the sky city who attended the meeting knew the inside story, and the others, including the senior officials of the city and the military, did not know about it, and they still felt that every day was normal as usual, which also affected their judgment. So, when the Shadow Chasers appeared, in view of the contradictions between the military and the municipal government, other high-ranking members of the military directly issued orders to attack the Shadow Chasers who were suspected of being members of the black market, so the war broke out and the city suffered heavy losses again.

However, this made them overjoyed by the city's top leaders, especially from the news brought back by the head of the black market, who was also the head of the Ministry of Economy, who saw the greatest hope since the mechanical apocalypse.

These otherworldly people are simply the best candidates to invade the Tower of Babel, their terrifying personal combat ability is enough to crush the combat troops of the entire city, presumably even in the face of the mechanical tide on the ground is enough to protect themselves, not to mention that they also have a lot of strange abilities beyond the scope of understanding, such as often disappearing inexplicably in front of the eyes of the surveillance personnel, etc., the city's high-level leaders agreed that if anyone can fight against the mechanical camp and counterattack into the Tower of Babel, it must be a few of them, so as the talks progress, the more they understand the strength of the shadow chasers, the more enthusiastic the global high-level attitude is, especially the city under their feetIn the end, the attitude can even be described as flattery, and the shadow chasers can see that in order to make themselves agree to help humans invade the Tower of Babel, the city's higher-ups may be able to agree to any request, except for the scientific and technological information that is the lifeblood of the city, of course.

These scientific and technological data are not only the currency of the city in exchange for resources, but also contain the resistance of human beings to the mechanical camp, all cities have unified their views, and the results reported every year are selectively reported, even if the resources allocated in the next year are insufficient, some sensitive achievements must be hidden, so as not to grow infinitely in the mechanical camp and throw away the combat power of human beings. Therefore, even for the shadow chasers, the city's high-level officials still maintain the greatest degree of caution to prevent the leakage of scientific and technological data, but unfortunately they don't know that almost all the scientific and technological materials in the city have been copied into Wei's equipment.

Not only are they very strict, but they even want to get more technology from the Shadow Chasers, so they do not hesitate to ask for a technology exchange, but unfortunately, the Shadow Chasers will never accept this condition.

What are you kidding, although Wei's memory records a large number of high-end scientific and technological materials in her original world, the problem is that those are too high-end, for this world, the vast majority of them are in the air, and there is no possibility of application at all, and the low-level technologies are not worth storing records in that world, so even if the shadow chasers have not succeeded in copying the civilization records of the native world, it is impossible to meet their requirements.

As a result, the hope of a technology exchange is dashed, but the attempt to commission the Shadow Chasers to invade is unexpectedly successful.
