Chapter 22: The Truth About the Heavenly King
Ji Yao looked at the task prompt given by the Reincarnation Paradise, and his heart was shaken.
Ji Yao thought for a while, looked at Tianliu and replied.
"I promised, you can call me Grey Yao."
Tianliu's humanoid projection made a bowing gesture and spoke.
"Director Gray Yao, welcome back, the authority of Research Institute No. 6 has been fully opened."

Ji Yao quickly read the mission information and asked Tianliu.
"I wonder where the Tianwang Six Research Institute is located? How far have I been teleported by space? β
Tianliu's attitude seemed to be a little more enthusiastic, but there was no specific change, and the voice on the radio was still flat.
"According to the location of the director before the teleportation, Research Institute No. 6 will be about 15 kilometers underground."
βοΌ 15 km?! Chi Yao's pupils couldn't help but be shocked, the technical strength of the ancient civilization was even stronger than he expected.
But this depth also made Ji Yao a little puzzled, and he couldn't help asking.
"But I remember that Tianliuling said that this is the research institute for making the Heavenly King, right? Why is it set so deep underground? And why isn't this weapon called the king of the earth? β
Tianliu's humanoid projection turned to point out of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and at the same time, the central device also projected a strange scene.
First of all, a planet with 70% ocean in a starry sky is projected, and there are a series of annotations next to the planet, explaining that this planet is the main planet of the One Piece world.
At the same time, Tianliu's explanation also sounded.
"Director Gray Yao, what you see now is a simulation of our home planet 'Four Seastars' 2,000 years ago, and at that time, a special meteorite visited our home star."
With the explanation of Tianliu, the projection has also changed.
A golden-red meteorite across the sky is dragging its long tail towards the home star, hitting the sea and setting off boundless waves, countless lava splashes out, and quickly cools under the large amount of seawater, and finally forms a circular island shaped like the sun, which is Yuanyang Island 2,000 years ago.
Tianliu's voice continued to sound, and the projected picture also changed into a scene of many people digging on Yuanyang Island.
"1,000 years ago, we discovered the unusualness of this island and found its origin deep underground."
The projection is constantly changing, as the depth of the excavation deepens, and the manual excavation gradually evolves into mechanical excavation.
After the development of the knowledge of demonic patterns, it became an artificial mimic creature, and finally in order to cope with the scorching heat deep underground, people improved the miners into a flaming ant colony with high temperature resistance and strong digging ability.
The alien visitors who led to the formation of Yuanyang Island also appeared in front of Chi Yao's eyes, it was a golden-red ball suspended in mid-air, and the high temperature it emitted had already turned the surrounding environment into a molten place, and the ancient civilization kept a certain distance from the ball to build its circle of strange buildings that resisted high temperatures.
Tianliu pointed to the golden-red orb that was gradually surrounded by buildings in the projection.
"This is the meteorite, which we call 'Yuanyang', and according to the various data we have measured, Yuanyang is like a small sun, emitting light and heat all the time."
"After we discovered Yuanyang, we quickly built a total of ten research institutes next to it, formed a ring to surround it, and continuously exported the energy of Yuanyang through the magic pattern technology, and with the help of the extracted Yuanyang energy, we drove the Heavenly King who created the three major weapons."
"The Heavenly King is an airship equipped with the Flame of the Sun weapon, and the Heavenly King, powered by the energy of the Yuanyang, can shoot countless lasers to instantly turn an island into ashes."
"Yuanyang is an alien object from the sky, and the flying weapon we created with Yuanyang's energy naturally named it the Heavenly King, not the Earth King."
Tianliu's explanation is quite reasonable, and he also uses projection to help explain, so that Chi Yao can better understand.
Ji Yao nodded to show that he understood, and then threw out the next question.
"What about the Heavenly King that was made before? Is there only one Heavenly King? β
Tianliu nodded.
"There is only one Heavenly King, because the difficulty of channeling the Yuanyang energy is much greater than we expected, resulting in the first Heavenly King actually being in a semi-damaged state."
"So the Heavenly King was secured in another facility, and now it should be a ruin, and I don't know about the current situation of the Heavenly King."
Ji Yao continued to ask.
"Is the Yuanyang Stone the energy product of the Yuanyang? You sent the flaming ants in Vein Six? β
Tianliu shook his head and said.
"Director, the Yuanyang Stone you mentioned is only formed by the influence of the surrounding leylines being affected by the escaping Yuanyang energy, not the energy product of Yuanyang itself, it can be called the product of energy residues."
Dense lines appeared around Tianliu's body again, as if he was calculating something.
"As for the fire ant above Research Institute No. 6, it was suddenly activated by an external force."
"Once activated, they follow a preset program to collect high-energy objects and feed them to drive the research institute's control core."
Ji Yao's pupils shrank sharply, and he realized the possibility of some danger.
"External force activation? Can we know what external force activates it? β
Tianliu shook his head and said.
"The institute was operating at its bare minimum until the fire ants provided the energy supply, and all equipment was locked down, and there was no record of activation at that time."
Ji Yao's brows furrowed slightly, and a bad premonition urged him to go back as soon as possible.
Ji Yao immediately spoke.
"Anyway, I've written down everything you said, can I start spatial teleportation now? I need to go back as soon as possible. β
"By the way, after I go back, let the fire ants stop and lurk deep underground to sleep, and they can't reappear without my orders."
Tianliu paused, and then spoke.
"No problem, but I need to remind the director that if you run this space teleportation, the reserve energy of the institute will be almost bottomed out."
"In other words, without the continuous mining of fire red ants to provide energy, I am afraid it will be difficult for you to return here."
Ji Yao raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little tougher.
"I have my plans, and I'm the director, follow my orders."
Tianliu nodded, bowed, and finally spoke.
"Then as you wish, director, there is a knowledge base of our civilization in the core of the institute, and you need to study more and improve your level of tattoos in order to get more authority for the relics."
After saying that, the projection of Tianliu dissipated in the air, the entire room dimmed, the lights of all the equipment were turned off together, and the core of the equipment also detached from the activated state and flew into Chi Yao's hands.
