When Guangyan first came to Fog Harbor, he saw waste wood and garbage everywhere, and thought to himself, it was as tattered as the rumors.

It is said that this was once the site where the old god Hotaru made lanterns, and all kinds of defective and failed products were dismantled and thrown everywhere.

Over the years, the mountain of garbage has risen to a size large enough to be called a piece of land.

In order to further observe the Lantern Clan, the Firefly God surrounded this place after a slight transformation. Shrouded in thick black clouds from the gods on all sides and in the sky, the Hotaru ordered the Lantern Clan to make crowns of light and sky lanterns day after day to be selected by the other gods.

Since God Yao took over this world, the Lantern Clan is no longer under house arrest. In the underground carbon capital, the lamp family can complete the new life safely and simply.

The light flame trampled on the garbage ground under his feet, but it was quite sturdy.

Fog Harbor is not a good place to be.

But if it's really a really good place, I'm afraid I won't get this opportunity.

After all, Brilliance is still a criminal serving a prison sentence.

"Mr. Light, although Wugang is not as good as many places, there are many kinds of materials here, and you can use local materials." The assistant lamp system is optimistic.

"Hmm."

Guangyan nodded: "It's quiet and spacious here, and it's a good place to place a step shifter." Let's get moving, reassemble and install the device. ”

As soon as it gave the order, the Lantern Clan and the White Bone Ancestors began to get busy.

The five mobile forts were driven into the demarcated positions, and the white skeleton and support poles on the forts were unfolded, and the distance and frame from each other were fixed.

Then, the Lamp Clan and the White Bone Ancestors combined the crystal pipe with the copper base to connect these extensions into one.

After the installation, 15 Shell Skull Calculators performed algorithm testing and trial operation of the stepshifter.

As the floodgates opened, the tiny tricolor insects moved through the crystal pipes, giving a steady stream of calculations.

"Input is normal."

"Storage is normal."

"The output is normal."

"Calculations are normal."

The four main functions were confirmed to be fine, and Lightflame ordered everyone to start scanning and importing the data first.

Since it is a newly established [Fog Harbor Stepper], it is necessary to collect and store all the data of Fog Harbor first. The length, width, height, area, cloud thickness, light requirements, etc., of each area must be recorded.

In the center of the fog harbor, the [Ripple Valley] adjacent to the stepper is still under construction.

In charge of this project was the White Bone Engineer Mereb.

It studied under the Apostle Long Ji, a researcher and dragon maker at the Academy of Arcane Arts, and one of the founders of the Bone Dragon.

To the famous Mereb, the light flame remained polite.

"Mr. Mereb, I wonder how long it will take for Ripple Valley to be completed?"

The researcher looked through the project record book in his hand and said: "Now it is the second phase of the project, which mainly focuses on disaster prevention and local reinforcement, and it will be completed in three to five days." ”

Lightflame breathed a sigh of relief.

"But there are still three phases to finish, and the third phase is filled with wind element and light element crystal structures, and those crystal structures have to be sent by the Abyss Quartet."

"Recently, because Lord Jushen has built three ripple valleys in a row, the crystal structure reserves of these two elements are a little tight for a while. However, according to previous experience, as long as the abyss side comes, we will be able to complete the installation and commissioning in about fifteen days. It's just that there is no crystal structure now, and we have to wait. ”

Mereb's words poured cold water on him again.

Lightflame turned her head to think.

Slow down, slow down.

Anyway, the ripple body experiment can't be done in a moment.

"Mr. Lightflame, you're amazing."

Mei Lebu changed his words and said with a smile: "In just three years, I have changed from a pure newcomer to the person in charge of a regional step shifter. ”

Lightflame could only smile awkwardly.

Mereb doesn't seem to know her own situation.

Also, he has been doing research and engineering in the research institute all the year round, and he is busy, and the gossip may not be particularly concerned.

Speaking of which, it was a somewhat magical thing for a light-gathering beast and an undead life being born with the light element to be able to stand together and discuss engineering cooperation.

Thanks to the fourth-generation [Twin City Armor] invented by White Castle, a new crystal structure has been added, which can seal the elemental power into the crystal structure and prevent the power from leaking.

This not only reduces attrition, but also allows elemental creatures to meet people in a visible, safe form.

"Mr. Lightflame is an elemental elf, I don't know where my hometown is?"

"I am also from the Kingdom of the Resurrection."

"It's a fellow countryman."

Mereb was shocked, and then said happily: "Why don't you say this, I didn't expect that there would be such a powerful person as you in the kingdom." The kingdom has lost a great talent! ”

Flame Heart said that if I hadn't run fast, I would have been captured by the kingdom.

As a light-gathering beast, it is born with a deadly threat to the life of the undead, and after the birth of the light flame, it hides in XZ to avoid being discovered by the skeleton army of the resurrected kingdom.

If caught, he will be sent to a special city to avoid civilian casualties.

In fact, it is house arrest and imprisonment.

In order to run towards freedom, Guangyan found a wind collector in Sand City, and entered Sand City as a resident of the Mystic Kingdom under the introduction of the other party.

As a result, before his ass was hot, he was arrested by the agents of the [Investigation Bureau].

The reason was that he had falsified his identity and was suspected of illegal entry.

The agent made his route clear, making Lightflame feel his scalp tingle, and it turned out that everything about himself was under their control.

The light flame went around and around, and it was just a different place to go to jail.

He served three years in prison.

Martyrs can go to prison, but he doesn't feel anything, but he is more worried about being sent back to the resurrected kingdom.

Just when the light flame was desperate, the god of the moment launched a recruitment of calculators for the worlds, regardless of identity and past, as long as they meet the requirements, they can join the Bay of the Casting Sun.

There are two requirements for this.

One is light elemental or wind elemental beings, or mages and scholars who are proficient in both elements.

The second is to be able to accept uncontrollable risks and high-intensity computing work.

The treatment given by the gods is to forgive all existing crimes, the right to permanent settlement in Zhuri Bay, all-inclusive food and housing, and a generous salary.

Lightflame immediately filled out the application form.

Throughout the Shacheng prison, more than 20 convicts responded to the recruitment. However, only Glare Flame passed the inspection requirements of the Shell Skeleton Calculator who came to recruit people and entered the probationary period.

He learned that this was the beginning of the challenge when he arrived at Casting Sun Bay with the calculator.

The 33 trainee calculators during the probationary period need to pass a one-year normal work and meet the theoretical and practical standards of the stepper and stepper machine in order to become a qualified calculator.

The light flame is day and night, just studying and practicing the technology.

For him, it's a lot better than going to jail.

Casting Sun Bay is a very simple place, where the calculators take turns on duty, and they can go on vacation to other worlds during their vacations. Although the working period is busy every day, the holidays are very lenient and the salary is very high.

In the end, only 7 people remained in this batch.

After becoming a full-fledged calculator, Guangyan passed the assessment of the moment god two years later and won the position of the new head of the step shifter.

At this point, he learned that it turned out that Jushen personally recruited people for the purpose of researching and developing a special object called the ripple body.

This thing cannot be seen by the naked eye, it will jump in the valley of ripples and connect everyone.

By connecting and synchronizing, it drives people to create more valleys of ripples, allowing them to have a larger range of jumps.

Lightflame has also tried many field tests.

It felt weird.

It's like being knocked unconscious by a stick and waking up to find yourself digging for dirt and rocks, and I don't remember anything about that short period of time.

The moment god has configured the fourth-generation [Twin City Armor] for calculators like Light Flame to facilitate the use of wind and light elements to experiment with ripple bodies.

But the Flame of Light found nothing.

The only effect of his use of [Concentrating Technique] is to make the Ripple Body more active.

This is true not only of the light element, but also of the wind element.

These two elements can add fuel to the fire, but they cannot control the ripples.

The god of the moment sent down an oracle.

- From now on, the area will be divided and long-term directional experiments will be carried out with a stepper.

The Bay of the Casting Sun is divided into three divisions.

The central area is personally controlled by the god of the moment, and it is also where the stepper of the Casting Sun Bay is located.

The new pot area was built, and Mumford, the Shell Skull Calculator, was in charge of arranging the steppers and building the Ripple Valley in the area next to the Wonder [World Pot].

The new fog port area is in charge of the calculator Guangyan, and the others are the same as above.

……

Mereb's words cut off Luminous Flame's thoughts.

"The Ripple Body is such an amazing thing that it can cross the borders of the world and travel between so many worlds. If it can be made controllable, not only will Lord Jushen give him a rich reward, but Lord Yaoshen will probably look the other way. The first person to do it must be a person who will go down in history. ”

Brilliance couldn't laugh a little.

How easy is that?

The more you learn about the ripple body, the more you realize how difficult this is.

Otherwise, Jushen would not have recruited people to seek more algorithmic variables.

……

After the completion of the construction of Ripple Valley, the entire Wugang District became even busier.

Blaze led the calculators through the first round of five tests.

The results are consistent with before.

Momentarily disconnected mental consciousness and uncontrollable physical behavior.

Whether it is the elemental fairy, or the lamp clan and the white bone ancestors, it is the same result.

Inside the step-shifter, the tricolor insects and shell cockroaches were not affected.

This is also a conclusion that has long been reached: the more self-conscious individuals are, the easier it is to be connected and synchronized, and the lower simple beings are less affected by the inability to grasp and understand complex information and behaviors.

Fortunately, the ripple body is now subdued by the power of Lord Yaoshen, but it can be sure that it can be moved or sealed.

The three places, including the Bay of the Casting Sun, the Abyss, and the Kingdom of the Heart, are all studying intensively.

Up to now, the use of ripple bodies is still through the ripple valley, in which the number and intensity of light and wind crystal structures are adjusted, and the flickering caused by ripples to the crystal structures is obtained.

Both calculations and inspections are cumbersome and inefficient.

However, in the process, Lightflame notices something strange.

During two tests of the ripple body, the reaction of the valley of ripples was abruptly interrupted, as if the anomaly had briefly failed.

But it didn't take long for the ripple body to regain its connection effect.

Glowflame inquired about the other two areas, and learned that the situation was the same on their side.

Calculators have their own guesses.

"Maybe it's because you've jumped to a certain area and you're restricted?"

"Maybe it's because the energy consumption is too high, right? We have been doing the ripple body test, and although it is a specific body, it also has consumption, which is related to the crystalline structure of the elements, and will consume the wind element and the light element. ”

"I don't think so. It's not a constant difference in intensity and time, but it just disappears for a while. ”

"Maybe it's Lord Jujin who used some kind of divine might?"

……

The light flame looked around.

If there is anything special about this place, it is that all kinds of dry garbage accumulated in the local area for tens of millions of years are pottery shards, glass, stones, metals and other fragmentary materials that can be preserved for a long time.

There is nothing suspicious.

Flame of Light looked at the crushing black cloud.

From time to time, one or two black creatures of strange shapes sprang out from inside, some of them had many hands and legs, some were shaped like four-legged beasts, some were like snakes or birds, and some were even just spheres or lines.

The Fog Beast is the most different thing from the outside in the Fog Harbor.

Is it because of the influence of the fog beast?

At the request of the Light Flame, the god of Moment helped. He temporarily dispelled the clouds and mist, causing the mist beasts to retreat back to the carbon capital underground, no longer haunting the valley of ripples.

The Ripple experiment restarts.

Sure enough, it became very normal.

However, when he did the comparison test, he found that there was a fog beast on the side, and the ripple body was still jumping normally.

Did you think wrong?

He pondered for a long time, but could not understand it.

One day, Commander Lightflame completed the 117th Ripple Experiment, exhausted, turning over the ice furnace and removing a copper kettle from it. After unscrewing the lid, he leaned over the spout of the pot and inhaled the demonic qi.

Demonic energy can directly replenish the power of elemental creatures.

But then he heard a voice.

"Can I eat that?"

Lightflame looked left and right, and noticed a hand emerging from his shadow beneath his feet.

The hand waved at him and pointed to the pot in his hand, "Can I eat some of that?" I also believe in Yaojin and Jujin. ”

Light Flame placed the pot of liquid demonic qi on the ground, and then the black hand touched the mouth of the pot, and a large amount of demonic qi was sucked away by it, and his fingers twisted around in excitement.

"Thank you."

Glowflame was a little uncertain: "Are you...... Mist Beast? ”

"Yes, I think so."

"Why are you talking?"

"I've learned, I've learned you, I've watched you for a long, many years."

Lightflame was shocked.

The Mist Beast is a life form with a desire to hunt, and although it is an evolution of the thoughts of the carbon people, it is still a Chaos Beast.

This is a well-known thing.

The fog beast in front of him was beyond common sense.

"I'm so hungry."

The black hand gestured and said, "Can I eat them all?" ”

"Please."

It began to feast.

After digesting the entire pot of liquid demonic qi, the black hand clenched his fist and gave a thumbs up: "Thank you, you are really a good person." Without you, I'd starve to death. ”

Brilliance asked, "Doesn't the Mist Beast live for a long time?" ”

"I don't know, I just feel like it's going to drain very fast anyway, and one day I'm like this, always hungry, hungry to death. I looked everywhere for food, clouds, fog, and things on the ground, I ate them all, and it was useless, and I was not full. ”

"And then you guys came over and I found that blinking ball, it was running fast and it looked delicious!"

"I finally grabbed it, and after swallowing it, I couldn't digest it, it was so uncomfortable that I had to spit it out."

Flashing balls, unable to be digested, run fast.

Flame said cautiously, "Is that ball you talking about jumping and flashing in this valley all the time?" ”

"yes, it's flying so fast, I have to stay in the valley to catch it."

The Blaze Man was a little confused.

It turned out that the ripple body was caught by this fog beast and wanted to eat it, so it disappeared for a short time!
