As soon as he entered the bridge, a solemn aura was already blowing in his face.

Under the projection of countless changing values, there is a huge steel statue. There were already several people waiting, as if they were in the midst of an impromptu meeting.

When he saw August coming in with Andrea and Huaishi, someone beckoned them to come over.

As you can see, it's not very bureaucratic here, and although the division of responsibilities is clear, many times people are very casual about things that don't matter.

This may have something to do with the overly exuberant idealism among the sublimators.

Everyone is not very in awe and power, and they will not bow their heads in key places inexplicably because of this. Besides, the people who can enter the abyss exploration team are generally dead, and they don't want their lives, so they still care about this?

Even though he was one of the most powerful people in the entire Iron Crystal Seat, August still didn't seem so nervous and excited, and just calmly reported to the middle-aged man above: "The support from the Academy Department has reached the Iron Crystal Seat, but the assimilation degree of the station has increased, so it can only be temporarily abandoned." ”

"Condra, that guy......"

The middle-aged man sighed, didn't say anything, and shook Andrea's hand, "Long time no see, Professor Andrea, it's been hard all the way." ”

"It's a matter of duty. ”

"What about this one?" he said, turning behind Andrea, "a face I've never seen." ”

"Huai Shi, the main lecturer of classical music appreciation in the department, is a newcomer to Ms. Andrea. Huai Shi introduced with a reserved chin and looked around, trying to identify which one in the crowd was the Grand Master.

The middle-aged man with a majestic expression, the smiling lady, the taciturn old man with a stern expression, or the grim-looking young man in the corner?

During the tense and short communication meeting, no one introduced him.

No one here treats him as a guest to be neglected.

To be exact - even Huai Shi herself didn't take herself seriously.

What is this? Who is he? Even if he is a little famous, how can he be famous compared to any one of them? Even if he is very powerful and capable of fighting, what is the miracle of the hell that has just been extinguished with one blow?

Aside from spending a few days in the easy difficulty Yamatai under the protection of the creator's main framework, does he have any experience and resume in Hell exploration that is worth mentioning?

Even the Third Order is only enough to see here, a little better than the students who came to work and do free labor, but the role is still limited.

If you really want to say that it is useful, Raymond, who came to be a driver, is a little better than him.

Andrea was able to bring him in, probably because Huai Shi was the principal's secretary, and she was a little qualified to touch these secrets, so she just brought a newcomer.

In that case, let's talk less, do less, watch more, and listen more.

Be a low-key person and don't get yourself in trouble.

With the intention of being extremely Buddha, he leaned against the statue behind Andrea and quietly listened to the communication between them.

The supply of materiel, the replenishment of food and the loss of personnel.

The speed of use and preparation of inventory, the rotation of personnel and the cycle of research.

In this occasion, which is similar to a daily meeting, everyone can simply breathe and make a report, so that others can have a bottom in their hearts about the departments and fields they are responsible for.

Hearing the end, Huai Shi found that even the Great Grandmaster did not appear here.

Captain Wheel of the Central Engine and Chief Officer, Head of the Exploration Team for external exploration and internal security, Chief of Affairs for the management of supplies and internal coordination, Ship Doctor for the physical and mental condition of all crew members, Lighthouse Observer for navigation and communication, Line Manager for manufacturing and maintenance, and even representatives of alchemists and scholars......

And, with reinforcements here, Andrea, who will assist in maintaining the internal frame of the Iron Crystal Seat.

The eight people here can be said to be already representatives of all aspects of the Iron Crystal Constellation, elites and talents that are rare in the entire realm, and at the same time, they are also experienced in the exploration and openness of the abyss.

When Andrea brought bad news about the Ivy League at the meeting, several people's brows couldn't help but furrow.

No matter how much you look down on this nouveau riche stinky brother as an old-timer, you can't leave it aside and be invisible-no matter what, behind the Ivy League is also one of the six American lineages.

Just like Jixia and Dongxia, the Ivy League has a pivotal position as a new blood cultivation institution and technical department in the American lineage, but it is not the kind of miscellaneous fish that can be disposed of casually.

"Two weeks ago, there were drones that found traces of their forward bases. ”

"They are cautious, and their station is hidden at the other end of the outer ring, just outside of our reconnaissance range," said the commissioner. In the middle, we also had some friction in order to secure the development of sovereignty, and finally a week ago, the other side put forward a request for negotiations. ”

"And then?" asked Andrea.

"Then we responded with a saturation attack on their position. The captain said expressionlessly: "Now it seems that our attitude is not resolute enough, which leads them to take chances." ”

......

On the side, Huai Shi couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

Isn't that resolute, what else is resolute? Can you make a big blow up in hell? Wait......

There is no current conservation convention here, and there is no astronomical review, so it can be said that no one knows what happened in the barren mountains and mountains.

I wonder if these guys are really crazy enough to rub a nucleus and pop it out.

Judging from the technical reserves of the Ivory Tower and the instruments on the iron crystal pedestal, it is really ...... Can it be done?

While Huai Shi was thinking nonsense, they had temporarily finished sorting out the current situation and started a new topic.

"Based on the results brought back by the investigation team, our inferences can basically be confirmed. ”

The old scholar representative said, "The land of twilight here should be the super-giant industrial base created by the owners of the Purgatory Factory in the last battle of the worlds-the permafrost hearth.

The whole hell is actually made up of countless factories and assembly lines, no, it should be said that everything here is actually part of a giant machine, and we outsiders are just rubble and dust that hinders the smooth operation of the machine......"

"We're going to war with those Purgatory Factory Owners?" someone asked, "This is a violation of the truce between Present and Hell, and we can't afford to take that responsibility." ”

"No, this hell is now ownerless. ”

The representative of the scholars said: "Actually, haven't we all seen it these days? Since the last time the Purgatory Factory owners were disabled, they have voluntarily retreated into the withering zone, shrinking all their business and status, and even if they know the state of the Dusk Country, they are unable to recover it.

Besides, as long as the key of the sequence has not been registered with the sovereignty, then it is not possible to talk about who belongs here...... Our competitors should be the Ivy League. ”

The word 'that's it' is used very well.

The image shows what kind of status the stinky brother is in the heart of the big brother.

The perennial monopoly of academia has made the Ivory Tower condescending to dismiss all its peers as motley.

Attach importance to it, but look down on it.

By the time the meeting had progressed, the results were clear.

In order to compete for the land of twilight...... Or permafrost hearth, do you want to have a shot with the fucking Ivy League?

The eight people present looked at each other, and after being silent for a long time, they all looked at Huai Shi

As if he was being consulted.

？？？

In a daze, Huai Shi felt a hundred thousand question marks popping up above her head.

Why look at yourself?

Why do you want to ask for your own opinion on this kind of thing?

Just as he waved his hand in a panic and was about to say something, he heard a deep voice behind him.

"Forget it. ”

A hoarse voice with a metallic aftermath sounded, yawned without energy, and sighed tiredly: "I always feel troublesome, just pack up and go home." ”

“......”

Huai Shi stiffly turned his head and saw the 'steel statue' on the pedestal behind him, the contemplative iron thinker actually speaking.

And he was still looking down at him, "Young man, you move a little, you step on my feet." ”

“...... Huh?"

Huai Shi lowered her head, only to find that she had stepped on the instep of the steel statue for an unknown amount of time, and left two large shoe prints.

But in his perception, this should clearly be a pure steel statue, whether it is from the induction of the captive hand or from the alchemy attainment, it should not belong to the category of kinetic energy speaking!

Also, since everyone is looking at him, doesn't that mean...... This statue that has stepped on his feet for a long time is the Great Grandmaster?

Huai Shi almost didn't pump up a breath of cold air, and was dumbfounded.

Andrea nudged him next to him and reminded him in a low voice: "Be polite, don't look like you've seen a ghost." ”

"Yes...... Can ......"

Huai Shi swallowed and foamed, incomprehensible.

"Sorry to scare you, didn't you?"

The three- or four-meter-tall statue urn said angrily: "Ordinary people will be scared when they see me, I know, I'm a little weird...... So, there's no need to worry about not going.

Don't worry about me, there's just an old man here who doesn't make much use of it......"

Mikhail Ivanovich Zaitsev, one of the few great masters in the whole realm, the highest power of the Iron Crystal Throne, sat on the pedestal, but his expression looked a little numb.

Looking at the projection of countless data in front of him, he sighed tiredly: "After all, what is the point of this? life, the universe, the present world, hell, and even everything...... What is all this compared to the vast abyss?

What happens when you get the Hearth of Permafrost? It doesn't make any sense, and all you get is emptiness...... It doesn't matter......"

With his hoarse words, an indescribable depression suddenly enveloped the bridge, and the indissipating sadness and exhaustion weighed on everyone's hearts.

Several people in charge seemed to be used to such a scene, and couldn't help but shake their heads.

Again......
