Terra 1590.11.30.

Corsican Islands: Celestial Expedition in the Alki Mountains.

The sun shines through the blue sky on the top of the mountains, the pinnacles of the peaks shimmer in the sunlight, and the forests in the mountains seem to have been hit hard, and the trees have fallen down, forming a labyrinth of forests. Nearly all man-made structures and start-up facilities between the valleys have been destroyed, and the buildings are reduced to rubble, rubble and smoke remaining.

And the clouds that originally shrouded this crazy mountain range have completely dissipated at this moment.

"The Inner World has collapsed!?"

As a geologist at Miskatonic University, Dr. William has never seen any storms and waves.

However, today he had to admit that a geoinner world that hosted two civilizations had collapsed in less than two months, and it was the first time he had seen two civilizations announce such a thing as GG together.

"Well, the Core Sun is still well preserved, but due to the earthquake and tsunami, the containment of the Core Sun will take a certain period of time. Our task today is to complete the inspection and handover of Corsica with the Lord, and by the way, deliver to him the ruined machinery excavated from the heart of the ruins. ”

"Oh, by the way, this is the geological inspection report of Corsica during this time, and after you read it, you will know that the inner world has really collapsed."

Hansa, the senior researcher of the Kingdom of Heaven in Corsica, handed over the report in his hand to the professor of the University of Mitsu who was still in shock, he was actually shocked himself, they had been investigating the Inner World well, but the fourth sword-wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom suddenly stopped their investigation project, and asked them to quickly withdraw from the Inner World, he initially thought that the other party was going to start interfering with the development of civilization by force, and it might be a matter of military attack.

Unexpectedly, the sword-wielder directly destroyed the two civilizations in the center of the earth, and blew up the world in the center of the earth.

Angel of Calamity, Angel of Death...

Sure enough, there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.

At the same time as Hanseatic complained, Dr. William had already taken the report submitted by the other party.

————————

"It's terrifying, it's just the aftermath, [the crowner] are monsters." Dr. William smacked his tongue after reading it.

The earthquake and tsunami that struck Corsica in the past three days really made the local residents and researchers stationed here feel that the end was coming, although they did not know what the specific cause was, but it was certain that it was related to the fourth sword-wielder of the heavenly kingdom who was active in the area, and the past of this lord was too impressive.

Especially the special attack attribute of where to bomb is not able to give people a sense of security.

"By the way, what is the sword wielder doing during this time, I have recently seen a lot of super large salvage engineering ships sailing on the sea, obviously the regional government has issued a ban because of the tsunami and storm, but these engineering ships are still moving towards the core area of the storm, I looked at the ship sign, it seems to be your heavenly salvage ship, so it is convenient to tell me what these salvage ships are going for?" Dr. William suddenly asked Hanseatic curiously.

"All I know is that they were ordered by the Honkai Authority, and the internal report says that they went to that area to salvage and recover the waste waste." Hanseatic replied.

"What kind of garbage needs to send so many super large salvage ships." Dr. William smacked his lips again.

"Who knows."

Thundered~

As the two researchers spoke, a loud roar rang out from the sky, the sound of a helicopter's engine and the spinning of the propeller.

Dr. William looked up and saw a majestic and mighty armed transport plane flying overhead, its appearance large and imposing, four turboprop engines roaring, piercing through the clouds, the sun's rays shining on the metal surface of the fuselage.

The aircraft has a relatively large wingspan with slightly upturned wingtips, helping to reduce aerodynamic drag and improve fuel efficiency.

Dr. William immediately recognized the model of the armed transport aircraft, the [KC-13 Angel], which is the most common military aircraft on the front lines of war and in conflict zones.

"Let's go, the lord is down, follow, aren't you going to ask him for a sample of the creatures of the inner world?" Hansa woke up Dr. Wilhelm, who was slightly stunned.

As he spoke, Hanseatic stepped forward first, and Dr. William immediately followed.

The KC-13 navigated through the mountains, its underwing hardpoints empty and unloaded.

The plane continued to fly forward, looking for an open area suitable for landing.

In a clearing between the mountains, the KC-13 angel began to descend slowly. Its landing gear slowly extended, touching the ground.

The dust was blowing, and the plane gradually slowed down with the use of the brakes.

Eventually, the KC-13 landed completely in the clearing, and the engine sound died down.

When the two of them came to the plane, the load compartment door slowly opened, and with a loud mechanical sound, the door began to slide down slowly.

When the door opened, a bright ray of sunlight poured into the cabin, illuminating the load area.

A familiar young man with golden hair and golden eyes was getting off the plane with a smile, and Hansa was just about to say something, when Dr. William on the side had already come to the side of the blonde young man, and enthusiastically stretched out his hands to hold the other party's right hand and shook it up and down.

"Lord Abraham, I have been waiting for you so hard, the creature you promised me before..."

"I know, I'll bring it to you."

Xia Xiu pulled out his right hand held by Dr. William with a little disgust, and then casually took out six capsules with red on the top and white on the bottom from the phase space of the [Möbius Ring].

"This is the six native creatures I chose for commercial value, all of them are extrasensory creatures, and many of them have evolved senses beyond the norm due to the light characteristics of the inner world. For example, the [Echo Bat], which has super ultrasonic positioning capabilities, can fly freely even in the darkest places, and the [Heat Extinguishing Snake], which can sense the small temperature differences in the surrounding environment and hunt prey based on this information. ”

He threw the creatures he had collected in Inner Earth to the enthusiastic Dr. William.

"It's all good things, if it can be cultivated properly, the investigators of the University of Michigan can be equipped with one in the future, which will greatly reduce the casualty rate of teachers and students!" Dr. William said something that didn't sound good,

"Then I wish you all the best in your cultivation, but you need to sign a technology sharing contract with the Honkai Authority first. I'm not doing this for free, and your research results should be shared with Heaven in real time. ”

Xia Xiu expressed his blessing to Dr. William, and by the way, he backhanded and shared the overlord contract drawn up by [Adam] to Dr. William through the pedigree network, and Dr. William, who was carried away by the enthusiasm for research at the moment, just glanced at it and signed the contract enthusiastically.

Xia Xiu nodded with satisfaction after seeing Dr. William sign the contract.

Most of this contract is normal, and he is not a demon after all. Therefore, he only put forward more than 100 million Party A's needs in terms of overtime and free technical overtime in the contract, as well as related service requirements.

After successfully adding a new social animal to this beautiful land, Xia Xiu happily followed Hansea, who signaled that he needed to speak further.

Hansa led Xia Xiu towards an area controlled by the Authority's [Executive] and the local Angel Squad.

This area is surrounded by bright yellow markers and fences for warning and control.

On the signs with yellow and black stripes, the words "Quarantine area (high pollution source), no entry" are clearly marked.

The internal environment is tightly controlled, with dedicated entrances and checkpoints nearby, supervised by medical and security personnel, who wear personal protective equipment, including masks, gloves and gowns, to minimise potential risks.

After Hansa showed his ID, he continued to walk inside with Xia Xiu, neither of whom was wearing protective equipment.

The former is open [Wall of Sighs], while the latter is simply unnecessary, and the Crowned One itself is a high-risk source of infection for action.

"The [Ancients] you transported from Inner Earth some time ago are stored here, because of the high contamination and mistress virus on them, Eden has approved a batch of resources for in-situ containment in the area, and we will build a new containment site here to contain them." Hanseatic reported the situation to the fourth sword-wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom on the side.

"Well, this is the best, after all, there is a core sun below, and a new containment site can be built here, so as not to attract some unnecessary 'mosquitoes' to come here to collect wind, by the way, the confidentiality agreement has been signed, right?" Xia Xiu nodded first, and then asked rhetorically.

"All the members signed confidentiality agreements, including the U-M expedition team."

"That's the best."

Xia Xiu was very satisfied with Hansea's treatment, with his back to the Kingdom of Heaven, some trivial matters could be solved with a trench, just a direct trench, and the Kingdom of Heaven itself was synonymous with a trench.

The two chatted, and soon, Hansa led Xia Xiu to the destination of the trip, a storage room dedicated to the storage of the body excavated from the collapsed inner world.

"We've dug up the handover items you wanted, he's in a pretty bad condition, and the soul inside is on the verge of shattering, and the only way to repair him is to go to the Cogwheel Orthodox [Great Industrial Church]." Hansa pointed to a humanoid machine lying in the storage room and said to the blonde youth.

"Well, I know, you go and get busy with your work first, just leave this machine to me." Xia Xiu nodded, and then replied.

"Then I won't bother you." Hanseatic bowed and walked out of the storage room in amusement.

When Xia Xiu was the only one left in the storage room, he slowly focused his gaze on the mechanical prosthetic body lying flat.

The brass humanoid robot lay silently on a metal plate, and the shattering of his body up to 80 percent made him look extremely haggard.

Every part bears the marks of the battle—dented steel plates, missing screws, and the obvious parts that have been forcibly welded back.

"The surviving constructs of the city-state, I hope you won't let me down." Xia Xiu looked down at the brass machine, and then raised his right hand.

"Relic of Authoritarianism: Shattered Flame—"

Puff~

Xia Xiu's right hand, controlled by an extraordinary power at the moment, burned with a strange flame, which was a fire composed of countless block data, each square seemed to contain a special power, and it was constantly flickering and beating, as if they were constantly talking, interpreting the invisible information between each other.

[Tinder source start-]

[Connecting to the Mars Lineage Network*&&**Puff~]

[Unauthorized Persons!! 】

[Identification failed: Electronic channel closed!] 】

"Sure enough, the authority of the Mekkami is not so easy to steal, and there is still a think tank [McCann] on Mars, so the [Electron Channel] of the Mekhan's Source will not be easily opened for me." Xia Xiu muttered in a low voice.

Three days ago, when he began to devour the fire, he could vaguely feel the roar of a dragon coming from distant Mars, which was the roar of McCann, the Gear Orthodox Church think tank that was lodged on Mars, warning the Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven.

It was precisely because of the presence of [McCann] that it took him three days to swallow the fire completely.

[Broken Flame Source Detected!] 】

[Yes/No to start the repair——]

At this moment, the feedback from the data fire broke Xia Xiu's contemplation, and in the face of the option, of course he chose yes, the purpose of his coming here was to repair this machine.

Xia Xiu channeled this flame of data to the ancient brass machinery.

The flame tenderly caressed the almost dilapidated organism, it roamed between every crevice, every nick, as if to give it warmth, but also to listen to its past. Each data cube is like a small life, permeating every cell of the machine, transmitting an ancient and mysterious power.

The flow of data is like the water of life, and those ancient and silent gears, cables, and parts seem to feel the breath from the future, and begin to awaken under the burning of data. The long-dormant parts began to move slowly under this mysterious force, the rusty surfaces began to smooth under the moisture of the fire of data, and the broken parts were reshaped in an incredible way, as if time had been turned back, bringing the brass machine back to its former heyday.

The aura in the brass machine began to flicker, and the parts that had been silent in the shattering and silence for so long seemed to be reborn, gaining an energy as incredible as that of the blonde youth. A harmonious sound woven by machinery and data reverberates in this ruined place, not only as a revival, but also as a dialogue that transcends time and space.
