"Master, do you know where your energy comes from?" Ryan's eyes rolled, trying to figure out the energy first, after all, he was also struggling with this now.

"The entire institute is powered by an energy extractor, which operates around the clock and is sufficient to supply the entire institute with enough energy."

Ryan's eyes lit up, how could this thing feel similar to the [Alchemy Core] that Liman had studied?

"Does this energy mean magic?"

"In a way, yes."

After getting the answer he wanted, he suddenly wanted to see this extractor, maybe it could give Liman some inspiration?

"Where's the device?"

"In the core control room, can I open it for you?"

This service is simply too worry-free, and the decisive choice is.

With a slight shaking, a crack appeared in the metal sheet wall on the left side of the lab, which slowly opened to reveal a less spacious room.

"You've been illuminated."

As soon as Ryan walked in, the voice of the controller rang in his ears, and the next bright light lit up the room.

It was also covered in a full metal plate, and there was a large enclosed device in the center that was slowly rotating, and Ryan could clearly feel that the concentration of magic here was very high.

There were some strange workbenches around, and he couldn't see any effect.

"It seems to be really similar to the [Alchemy Core], although its function is more simple, it can directly absorb magic power as an energy supply.

If the [Alchemy Core] is also compatible with such a function, wouldn't it be a permanent fixed energy output station? ”

Ryan rubbed his jaw, he only needed to connect one such energy station after another, and he could achieve grid coverage similar to that in his previous life.

At that time, devices such as rune lamps will no longer need to use precious pure magic crystals as energy sources, and only need to be connected to the network to achieve the same effect, and if you add a blocking device and use it as a switch, it will be perfect.

Moreover, according to this line of thinking, its use will be infinite, after all, rune technology is still developing, but everything is the same, it needs energy!

In addition to the crystal bombs that need to be easily carried, if you make any "rune furnace" or "rune refrigerator" in the future, you can use it, which is much more convenient than magic crystals as energy.

After all, the mana capacity of the crystal is limited, and it is not, as long as it is connected, it can have a steady stream of mana as an energy source.

"What happens if this thing is removed?" He had already started to think crookedly.

"Warning! Warn! Your idea is dangerous, the Extractor is a top-secret device, not only is it the energy core, but it is also connected to the Lab's self-destruct device, and if dismantled, the entire Institute will be reduced to rubble. ”

Ryan's eyelids twitched, good fellow, this thing is so dangerous. And it's top secret, he originally wanted to ask about the design drawings, but now it seems that he doesn't want to think about it.

He circled around the machine twice, but found no trace of the rune, which means that it was a pure magical technology creation, and it was not the same road as the rune.

But there are all the laws in the world, and they all lead to the same end.

The two can definitely learn from each other, and they can't be dismantled, and he can find an opportunity to do it again in the future, and bring Liman with him.

Leaving professional things to professional people to do is always a little rewarding. It's just that before he can put it into action, he needs to take control of the control core of this institute so that he can bring people in.

Whether it's doing research or moving materials, you can't rely on him, he's the boss!

"How do you control the core of the Institute?"

He is now accustomed to asking the master, which is more convenient than Du Niang in his previous life.

"The research institute is currently uncontrolled, your authority is qualified to control it, please turn left."

Ryan turned around and found a square workbench facing him, with a circular hole in its center, and a six-sided crystal glowing with a warm yellow glow slowly rising into the air.

"I'm in control, please place your palm." The voice of the controller came from the crystal in front of him this time, and Ryan was greatly surprised, he didn't expect it to be a physical entity.

Put the palm of your hand on it, it's not big or small, just enough to be able to hold it, it feels a little warm, and it's quite comfortable.

"The palm print has been put into storage, and the identity information has begun to bind ......"

"Data Update."

"Race: Terran

Sex: Male

ID: 052001

Permissions: S-level.

Hats off, dear host. ”

"Huh? That's it? Ryan was a little surprised, he thought it was complicated.

In fact, the person who can enter here has at least a level of authority or above, and the level A is already a high-level authority, and he can directly take over the research institute in a state where no one is in a state of control, not to mention Ryan, who has a higher authority?

Being able to have S-level clearance already says everything, there is no need for extra steps at all, if it weren't for Ryan's lack of number and palm print information, he wouldn't even have to press his hand, and the controller would just update the data directly.

"I don't think much has changed."

"From now on, you can control any part of the institute as much as you want with your palm prints.

It has been detected that the institute is currently in semi-lockdown, will the lockdown be lifted or further blocked? ”

"What's the difference between these three states?" Ryan was a little puzzled, he knew that the institute was blocked, but what does it mean to be semi-blocked?

"Semi-locked, all passages of the institute are closed, high-level clearance is required to pass through, the guards are on alert, and anything that does not have sufficient clearance to try to break in will be considered a threat and eliminated.

When the blockade is lifted, it is open, and the creatures within the set permission can pass at will, and the guards enter a dormant state and can be actively woken up.

Further blockade is a complete lockdown, and on a semi-blockade basis, no living creature other than the top head of the institute is allowed to enter or leave, and once it enters the range of the guard, it will be considered a threat and eliminated. The controller dutifully replied.

"Isn't this a state of defense? Well, you can convert it into an open state and let Alan and them in, and take as many precious metals as you can with them.

Then switch to semi-lockdown so I don't have to worry about anything breaking in and wreaking havoc when I leave. ”

Just as he was about to put it into practice, the controller suddenly warned: "Warning, it is not recommended to switch to open mode for the time being, according to the report of the No. 1 guard, there are unknown battle fluctuations, it is recommended to open the full blockade state to destroy the invaders." ”

Ryan was stunned for a moment, the battle fluctuated? Could it be that Allen and they got into something with it?

He hurriedly said, "Can the No. 1 guard take the initiative to attack?" ”

"Yes, there are no authorized personnel on site. Solution: Wipe them all out. ”

Ryan then remembered that this institute looks at everything with permission, and Allen and they don't have any authority, and in the eyes of a man-made thing like a guard, they are no different from beasts, and they will definitely be wiped out if they make a move.

He suddenly stopped hoping and hurriedly rushed out.

Outside the gate now, it was a purgatory-like scene, with foul-smelling blood all over the ground, and the corpse of the one-horned monitor lizard covered the ground with a thick layer.

And Allen they are not comfortable, they have already killed eight people, their weapons have been cut and bladed, almost everyone is injured, and the consumption is more serious or physical strength, most of the soldiers are already at the end of the crossbow.

Xiyue's magic power had been exhausted, and she had already put down the longbow in her hand, took out her dagger and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat.

A fourth-level monitor lizard struggled to squeeze in through the blasted hole, its huge body in stark contrast to the first- and second-level monitor lizards around it.

Kavin swallowed, feeling a little dry in his throat, if they had just met this big guy, they could still have overcome it, but now that they were almost out of ammunition, it was impossible to stop it.

"My lord, if you don't come out again, we'll all be done." Carven couldn't stop praying in his heart, and now he could only put his hope in Ryan's.

"Hiss......"

The monitor lizard spat out its long tongue, and the foul-smelling slime dripped on the metal floor, emitting a puff of green smoke that was chilling.

With a few random claws, it pushed aside the monitor lizard that stood in front of it, and rushed towards the already collapsing army formation with a few legs.

The two brave shieldmen tried to stop them, but they were directly knocked away by the monitor lizard that was impacting at high speed, and the whole person flew out and slammed into the wall, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

At this moment, Ryan, dressed in heavy armor, finally arrived, and he rolled over the crowd, picked up a large shield on the ground, and slammed into the monitor lizard.

"Click......"

The big shield was suddenly shattered, and the monitor lizard's single horn slammed into Ryan's body, Xiyue and the others were suddenly shocked, with the impact of the one-horned monitor lizard, this time it was enough to penetrate the thick steel plate, and Ryan must have been fierce and unlucky.

Unexpectedly, the sharp unicorn collided with Ryan's body, but it did not penetrate, but only reversed. Instead, Ryan grabbed its horn with one hand and raised his sword with the other and slashed it down.

With the addition of the source liquid, his strength was almost infinitely close to that of the Great Knight, and this blow directly cut the unicorn horn that the unicorn monitor lizard was proud of in half.

"Hiss"

The one-horned monitor lizard was immediately hit hard, and quickly roared and retreated, and blood dripped from the broken corner.

Ryan casually threw away the broken horn and adjusted his blood a little, this time he was also uncomfortable, and the brute force acted on his chest, concussing the internal organs.

Xiyue, Alan and the others were stunned, Ryan was not only fine, but he actually cut off the strongest attack method of the unicorn monitor lizard?

"It's armor, the armor on his body is different!" Xiyue's eyes were sharp, and she could see the extraordinaryness of this armor at a glance.

"What armor can hold this thing back?" Kavin's face was shocked, he had been begging for a living in the Warcraft Mountains before, and he knew the terrifying penetration power of the horns of the one-horned monitor lizard.

"Hiss"

The monitor lizard raised its head and roared, and the dense monitor lizard behind it surged up like a tide.

Ryan was not afraid, holding a war knife to kill the beasts, under the shining fighting spirit, he was as unstoppable as the god of war, blood was splashed with broken limbs, and he killed a pair like chopping melons and vegetables.

The severed horned monitor lizard finally felt fear, and Ryan, covered in flesh and blood, became the most terrifying existence in its eyes.

It turned in a hurry to escape, but Ryan was not used to it at all, and rushed forward in a few arrows, the heavy armor not affecting his speed in the slightest.

"Huh"

He stomped his foot heavily, leaped forward, stepped on the monitor lizard's broad back, and the fighting energy converged on top of his head into an illusory greatsword with the tip downward, stabbing down suddenly.

"Poof"

The spine of the monitor lizard's neck was amputated in an instant, it shook a few times, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, and the low-level monitor lizards around it suddenly rioted and began to flee frantically towards the entrance of the cave......

"Oooh oh...... Banzai! Banzai! ”

The soldiers immediately cheered, heroic, fearless, and powerful. This is the lord they are willing to follow!

"It looks like we're going to be in a bit of trouble, so let's clean up the battlefield quickly, and we'll take refuge in the research institute for a while."

Ryan shook off the blood stains on the knife, turned his head and said to the people behind him, judging from the scale of monitor lizards, most of this group has more than one fourth-level monitor lizard, and it is very likely that they will fall into a siege if they go out rashly now, and it is the right choice to retreat temporarily.

There weren't many useful materials on monitor lizards, except for the unicorn and the beast core, there were only skins, but they didn't have much time, so only part of the skin was peeled off.

As the current de facto controller, Ryan can already give them numbers and permissions, and only needs a minimum E level to enter the institute.

By the time they entered to take refuge, the outside of the institute was already in shambles, and the forces that had participated in the battle earlier had either spilled blood in the mountains and forests or retreated in time.

This is now the gladiatorial arena of the strong! On the battlefield, the six-armed demon ape had two arms torn apart, a hideous wound more than a meter long on the back of the one-horned monitor lizard, and one eye of a silver-winged blue wolf had been poked blind. The battle was fierce.

The corpses of demonic beasts and humans were everywhere, and most of them were crushed into pulp during the battle, and the battlefield was like purgatory on earth.

In addition, there was a mercenary leader riding a leopard and a high-level mage dressed in a blue mage robe, which was tightly covered.

Although among the powerhouses present, the rank of the magician was the lowest, but no one dared to ignore it.

She was also the only one present who was not injured.

The mercenary leader Millons looked at her with some surprise, he was a great knight, but he still couldn't see through it when facing her.

"The Warcraft Mountain Range is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it can still be such a powerful magician."

Powerful magicians are very rare in the outside world, not only because of their scarcity, but also because they are all immersed in the study of magic and the search for truth, and are basically indifferent to the outside world.

"Roar—"

After a brief confrontation, the six-armed demon ape took the lead in attacking, each of its four remaining arms grabbing a thick tree trunk and slamming it into the magician.

I didn't see her make any movements, just slowly raised the magic wand in her hand, a burst of snow-white light shone, and the temperature in the air dropped sharply. On a hot summer day, there were cold snowflakes!

"Blizzard"

Dense snowflakes flew, like a snow-white silk cloth swept towards the six-armed demon ape, and the leaves of the trees crystallized one after another, and the trunks of the trees were covered with a layer of snowflakes.

"Wow"

The six-armed demon ape was enveloped in snowflakes, and in a heart-pounding roar, it was frozen into a giant ice sculpture......
