Chapter 568: Exterminating Insects (6) (Ask for Recommendation Tickets!Ask for Monthly Tickets!)
Traction City has put the brakes on it!"
"The Scorching Ray Staff is in place!"
"The percussion drill is full of fuel!"
"The inclination of the shield machine has been modulated!"
"The commandos are equipped with a staff that turns mud into stone. ”
......
While confirming the report, Shay quickly calculated the various detailed parameters. Argon lights on the track maintenance deck illuminate the entire deck, and workers are banging and banging all the time.
They cut the spare steel deck into shape to serve as a makeshift shield cover and then curvature it with spray guns and hammers, they tested the parts of the percussion drill to make sure the camshafts and conveyor belts didn't get stuck by accident, and they bundled dozens of scorching rods into a cluster and carefully extended them through the working holes drilled into the deck.
All the craftsmen were preparing in an intense and orderly manner, until the driving wheels of New Prosperity had braked and the moving fortress had moved forward for hundreds of yards by inertia, and they began to dig beneath the frozen ground as they had done before.
That's right, they're digging underground, too - like the worm demons who are trying to rescue the Acid Mist Worm Hatchery, a third of the workers in the Traction City have turned careers to become "miners". It's just that the tools they use are much more advanced than those of the worm demons. The artisans first fired scorching rays with their cluster staffs, melting the hard, frozen surface layer. The drill bit of the percussion drill was then stretched out, and a tunnel was excavated in the softened earth, and the gravel with ice ballast was transferred by the conveyor belt to the crawler maintenance platform, which was then thrown over the conveyor belt to the outside of the traction city.
The tunnel is not perpendicular to the ground, and there is an angle of about 30 degrees between the percussion drill and the ground. At each distance down, the TBM follows and fills in a section of steel plate support to prevent the tunnel from collapsing. In order to strengthen the opening, the tunnel was constructed in this way for the first dozens of yards. When it reaches a deep enough point, the entire tunnel is dug horizontally, and at the same time expands to the sides to form an underground cavern.
At this time, Shay sent a commando team to use the "Turn Mud to Stone" staff to transform the walls, dome, and floor of the cave** into hard granite. The TBM was now useless and was pulled out as a link between the tunnel entrance and the maintenance deck of the towing city, allowing the craftsmen to get up and down.
With the help of the right equipment and various spell items, the entire project lasted less than two hourglasses before it was almost completed. The artisans dug a huge underground cave beneath the city, which was basically enough to temporarily house the entire population of the new prosperous town.
Thanks to the involvement of many experienced tundra dwarves, they also designed several well-concealed ventilation passages for this hiding cave. If the entrance to the cave is blocked, widen one or two ventilation passages, and the people inside will be able to escape in time.
Just as they were entering the final stages of their work, the Devil Legion and the Xenoplane mercenaries in the New Prosperity Town had already been notified and had lined up to assemble in the bowels of the city. In addition to these soldiers, some of the equipment was also dismantled and piled up in the courtyard here, temporarily guarded by an elite devil's guard.
"The construction below is over," Quis, who had been guarding the lower deck, immediately received Shay's summons, and immediately ordered the army waiting in the bowels of the city: "Open the passage to the lower deck, release the net ladder and track facilities, and everyone line up and follow the signs to enter the underground fortifications!"
With his order, Prosperity Town, a city where all the people are soldiers, immediately executed it. The passages between the decks below the bowels of the city have all been opened, and in order to improve efficiency, Quest even ordered people to break through the decks one by one. The mortal mercenaries, who could not fly or teleport spells, quickly climbed down using the net ladder that hung from the edge of the breach in the deck.
The Devil Legion is much more convenient, at least those devils who are asked to evacuate will basically use teleportation spells, and after a few scouts determine the spatial coordinates of the hiding cave, they have used spell-like abilities to quickly enter the underground fortifications. It took less than an hourglass hour for the entire army of the new prosperous town to retreat.
"It's time. ”
After confirming that the city of Traction had been emptied, Quest immediately teleported to his audience room. The tower in the heart of the new prosperous town was shaking slightly because of the howling wind outside. Those Bato generals were all waiting here, and there were also nearly 10,000 special operations teams composed entirely of mid-to-high-level demons such as horned demons, bone demons, and blood armor demons, who were also hiding in those vacant houses, waiting for Quis's orders at any time.
"Liftoff, let's go and give those guys a head blow!" Quiz sat down in his seat and slammed the arm of his chair with his hand. The words accompanied by a strong spiritual suggestion instantly resounded in the ears of every devil left behind. All the past came to the back of the minds of the Batzu group, and they all cheered for revenge on the Worm Tyrant and Stim.
Under the influence of the Mither Core, two super-large circles covering most of the newly prosperous towns were immediately activated. Thanks to the combined effects of the Gravity Reversal and Utern's Levitation, the entire superstructure of the Traction City was light. The crawler plinths and urban intestines, which have undergone modular modifications, have been unfastened one after another to fasten the superstructure connections.
The engines in the core were still working, but they were powering the hundreds of propellers that had been installed to tow the bottom of the city's superstructure, and the lift provided by those propellers had eased the burden on the Mither core, while also allowing the traction — well, it might be more appropriate to call it a floating city now — to rise a little faster. The steam catapult device used to deliver the Golem Legion has been converted into a series of spouts around the Floating City, which can be used to adjust the direction and angle of the city's flight.
Braving the wind and snow, the city rose higher and higher, and it didn't take long for it to pierce the clouds of the Acid Mist Canyon plane. Walking out onto the balcony of the audience room, Quest saw the sun that had not been seen in many days. Although the miserable green glow was not bright, it still made the Blazing Sun Crystal in his body become active, and the young blue dragon began to feel the energy that slowly increased.
"It's a good sign," Quess thought to himself.
