As soon as he thought of Mark, Mark came running, and David wondered if he had awakened some kind of psychic link or something.

Soon he knew that he had made a mistake, and Mark had obviously discovered something special and hurried to find him.

"What's wrong?"

"Follow me!"

David did not delay, and followed Mark directly out of Fort Glamorgan, and came to the Winter Alchemy Workshop located northeast of the Winter Fortress.

This is one of the more special buildings in Winter Town, which is very close to the Winter Fortress, and is protected by both the Winter Fortress and the Winter Barracks, and is located in the core of Winter Town.

The location also shows its importance, in addition to the various alchemy products made by Pierre Newton and Will Turner, the Winter Alchemy Workshop also has an important role - to conduct research!

In other words, the Winter Alchemy Workshop is also the research center of Winter Town, and the current research focus of the entire Alchemy Workshop is crystal ore, a specialty of Winter Town!

Mark suddenly and hurriedly found David, also because of the amazing changes in the crystal ore.

The crystal ore was originally "planted" at the back of David's cabin, sheltered by a wooden shed.

With the establishment of Fort Glamorgan and Fort Winter, of course, this arrangement could not be continued, so the location of the crystal mine was moved to its current location, which is the northeast location of Fort Glamorgan.

and established an alchemy workshop in the area where the crystal mine is located.

In order to ensure the absolute safety of the crystal mine, the crystal mine was placed "underground", so after coming to the alchemy workshop, David had to take the elevator with Mark to the underground space specially arranged for the crystal mine.

As soon as he walked into the underground space specially arranged for the crystal mine, David was immediately shocked.

It's about the size of a basketball arena, and it's reserved enough height to say it's underground, and if you turn on all the lights, you'll feel like you're entering a huge arena.

Originally, there were only a few crystals, but they were very small in this empty space.

But at this time, David would not have this thought, the crystal ore in front of him occupied almost half of the space, and the huge, towering crystal was very imposing, and if you looked closely, you could even see the light flowing slowly on the crystal.

David looked at the large cluster of crystals in front of him, and then at Mark beside him, "These are crystals? When did you find out about this?"

"I found it when I came to check the ore on a routine basis." Mark was also taken aback, seeing that the crystal ore suddenly became so large and so big, and he thought that something had changed.

Fortunately, the crystal mine did not continue to grow larger, and the meaning of bursting this underground space was to burst, and Mark, who came back to his senses, immediately realized that something must have happened to David, so he hurriedly called David over.

Walking to the huge crystal ore, David stretched out his hand and brushed it on the crystal ore, and the feeling came from the previous crystal ore was similar but somewhat different.

The similarity refers to the feeling of peace, but the difference is that the energy contained in these crystals seems to have become even larger.

"Have you changed anything lately? Or what's changed in Eva?"

Mark, who calmed down, also returned to normal IQ and immediately guessed a few possibilities!

The appearance of the crystal mine is related to Eva and David, and the later upgrade of the crystal mine is also related to David, so the change of the crystal mine at this time, if you want to say that it has nothing to do with David, Mark must have smoked his mouth to let him reorganize the language.

In this regard, David had nothing to hide, and directly briefly talked about the situation between himself and Eva.

Mark's face was full of incredulity when he heard this, and David thought that he thought that this was the reason why the crystal ore had become so large and huge, a bit too nonsense.

Unexpectedly, Mark focused on other aspects.

"You just ate Eva?"

「……」

"You two are always getting tired and swaying around like no one else, I thought you two would have gotten together."

「……」

It's all true, but why does it sound so uncomfortable?

Mark knew that the joke was almost fine, and then turned the conversation in the normal direction: "But is that just the reason? The growth is exaggerated."

"It can't have anything to do with Eva's mastery of the Light, right?"

"Oh?"

Eva has truly mastered the Holy Light, which is completely different from the previous kind of pure Davy infusion and replenishment of the Holy Light, and now Eva has truly stepped into the ranks of the transcendent.

"Could it be that because Eva has become stronger, the crystals born because of Eva have also become stronger and more numerous?"

David didn't know if Mark's guess was correct, after all, he didn't have an accurate answer.

But no matter what, Eva once again gave herself a surprise, she originally thought that the crystal ore production was too low, but now I don't know how many times it has increased, and I don't have to worry about the reserves of crystal ore anymore.

"That's what a mine looks like!"

happily touched a few more handfuls of crystal ore, feeling the surging energy in it, and the products of all the staff in Winter Town using crystal ore technology seemed to be not far away.

Even as the Crystal Ore grows larger and stronger, Wintertown's appeal to the Autobots will skyrocket, and the Autobots should be able to use this pure, attributeless energy to replenish their consumption.

Even...... With ample renewable energy, it seems that you can recruit the Decepticons?

After all, not all Decepticons are like Megatron, otherwise there would be no Decepticons jumping ship to the Autobots. In addition to their belligerent personalities, some Decepticons simply want to survive.

David provides them with an environment to survive and a position that allows them to better utilize their abilities and values, and it doesn't seem impossible for the Decepticons to join Wintertown.

There's time to talk to Optimus Prime about this topic, and it's not clear what the Autobot leader thinks about this kind of thing?

He had to figure this out, after all, recruiting the Decepticons was just an idea, and the Autobots were now increasingly connected to Wintertown.

David didn't want to upset his existing allies with a help he hadn't yet received.

Standing here and watching for a while, watching Leonard, Howard and the others also ran over after getting the news, expressed their amazement, and hurriedly took samples and tests, wanting to observe how much the energy intensity in the crystal ore of the same size has changed compared to the past.

The location of the samples was also marked and recorded, and it was prepared to judge the growth rate of the ore through continuous observation - if it was still growing at the same rate as before, combined with this huge volume, the yield would be amazing.

In that case, Winter would be able to say goodbye to normal ammo and use all powerful ammo with crystal powder.

While several scientists were busy, David stopped by and told Mark about the sheriff.

"I'm interested in becoming the sheriff of Wintertown, but I don't have much time left before I leave Mars."

The ship and rescue team have been dispatched on the other side of the earth, and there are not many days left before the rescue team arrives on Mars, and he will board the rescue ship and return to Earth.

Unlike the original story, the team that came to the rescue this time was not Mark Watney's original group of companions, and he was completely unfamiliar with these people.

What's more, even if he was familiar with him, he wasn't prepared to reveal the secrets here in Winter Town, and he didn't think it would do him any good to talk about these things.

In order to hide this secret, it is not convenient for him to disappear from the ship frequently when the spaceship sails back to Earth, and the safest thing to do is to stay on the spaceship honestly until he returns to Earth smoothly.

"I'm also going to take advantage of this long voyage to cultivate my shamanic knowledge." What is the effect of cultivating the way of a shaman in the universe? Feeling the spirit of the stars? Dark matter spirits? Cosmic Storm Spirit? The Spirit of the Great Channel?

"It's a pity, it looks like Elizabeth has to be in this position."

Elizabeth is also a very capable person, who can turn Jack Sparrow around and become the Pirate King.

He came from a wealthy background, and he can be regarded as seeing him after coming to Winter Town

Well-informed, being a sheriff of a town is more than enough.

Even if there is something you don't understand, you can ask your father Weatherby Swan directly.

Instead of directly making Elizabeth the sheriff, it was actually Weatherby Swan who wanted to avoid suspicion.

He is already the political officer of Winter Town, his son-in-law Will Turner is also one of the current heads of the Alchemy Workshop in Winter Town, and his daughter is the sheriff, and the Swan family is simply the first family existence in Winter Town.

Weatherby Swan, who had lived in officialdom for a long time, felt that this was not a good thing, it was too eye-catching, and it was easy to arouse the suspicion of the lord.

David could guess some of Weatherby's thoughts, and out of respect for the administrative officer, David never let Elizabeth take on any position.

I really can't think of a suitable candidate now, and even if a suitable newcomer comes, it will take some time to learn and adapt to the life of Winter Town before I can actually take up the post, so I just let Elizabeth take office.

"In addition to Elizabeth, you can also get the Autobots to help patrol the town."

These tall Cybertrons are still very intimidating when they wander around in human form, and the effect may be better than that of the puppets in Silvermoon City.

"Elizabeth Swan is in charge, and with the newly recruited vigilantes, some Autobots, and Jenny Turtle, this team should be able to solve the security problem in Wintertown."

The solution to the law and order was determined, and the substantial increase in production of the crystal mine made David feel very good, and when he returned to the office, he kissed Eva fiercely by the way, and the kissed Eva was inexplicable but very happy, and the smile was called a bright one.

With business done with that, David began to think about the expedition to the north again.

This time he wasn't thinking about the equipment, but about the members!

In addition to Krausa, he is also ready to call out Medivan, and if there are any mysterious traps or problems there, the Ex-Guardian is a good solution.

"Who else do I need to call?"

Suddenly, David suddenly had the feeling of teaming up to brush up on dungeons......
