Mechanical Alchemist

In fact, sometimes the crisis is too big to bear, but it makes people feel less oppressive.

As far as Su Lun would rather be a pirate than a prince, he would rather be a pirate than a prince, and the sense of crisis of the plane invasion is even worse than an enemy like the "Ten Legendary Hunters".

So is Chijo.

This young woman who is addicted to gambling only has the way of the sword in her eyes. After hearing the information, the only change in her is that the restrained sword intent in her eyes has become sharper by three points.

Su Lun sorted out the information and told Mr. Jing through the communicator.

My senior sister is the one who bears the banner of the plane war, so give her a headache for those information.

It was not an accident of a big battle, but brought a little episode to everyone in the Dawn Regiment, and everyone returned to their normal sailing routine.

Su Lun and Qianjo seldom had time to spare, so they sat on the mast of the sailboat, poured some sake from Shanyin, and drank it.

The sea breeze was blowing, and the afterglow of the setting sun cast a fiery red glow on the sea.

There is also a light taste of leisure and leisure in the sea breeze.

However, let's talk about it.

While drinking and chatting with Qianjo, Su Lun was also replaying the previous battle in his mind.

Beheading four seventh-level magicians with his own hands also gave him an accurate concept of the extraordinary system of the alien plane.

Alchemists are a group of people who seek the truth. With the reference of combat power, most of the doubts dissipate in an instant.

Extraordinary power is always obtained step by step, and the powerhouses of the alien plane, except for the illusory god rank, seem to be no longer scourges.

"Legion Wars"

Some war images appeared in Su Lun's mind.

It was a world of pure magic fighting spirit, without any machinery, not even artillery.

But when the ten thousand legal groups confront each other, tens of thousands of mana are unleashed, which is more exaggerated than the power of ten thousand cannons.

And magic is not limited by the barrel, flexible and diverse.

What about [Meteor Fire Shower], [Storm Art], [Earthquake Art], [Tsunami Art].

It doesn't hurt or itch to use it by a single mage, but if it is really used by a group of mages, the power... I'm afraid it can destroy cities and lands in minutes, and wipe out all life!

Below the god level, in front of the top corps of that plane, they are all cannon fodder.

Thinking of this in his mind, Su Lun felt more and more that his "legion puppet style" had a bright future.

And there is another great news that he also found his [Gargoyle] Tianke magician in the battle just now.

[Activated Silver] This god-level material has almost perfect resistance to all types of magic, so although the mage legion is powerful, the picture of really encountering the gargoyle legion is not too beautiful.

And Gargoyle can engrave almost any rune, that is to say, it can have the effect of any rune puppet.

I really want to get thousands or tens of thousands of gargoyles by then.

Incorporation?

The scene of a group of gargoyles attacking the corps with their physical bodies is exciting just thinking about it.

As soon as Su Lun thought of this, his brows frowned: "However... where can I find so many [activated silver]?"

His gargoyle was collected in the Burial Land where Barrett was before, and there may be more silver mines underground there. But it's too dangerous to even consider now.

"I don't know if the Marfa Empire with a well-developed mining industry will have any clues"

Su Lun thought of something, and he could only hope that this trip to Mafa would yield something.

A few days later, the Dawn Regiment sailed to the edge area marked on Luying's official sea chart.

"Nuggets Island" is in this uninhabited sea.

It is said that this sea area is often haunted by giant monsters of the deep sea, and there is also a harsh and changeable climate.

No merchant ships pass by at all on weekdays. Even if there are adventure ships and fishing boats that were blown away by the storm, it is never heard that any of them came back alive.

Over time, even pirate ships would go around that dangerous sea area.

And there are countless such dangerous areas in the West Sea, and no one cares.

Now that Su Lun knows that there is a secret base here, it is not difficult to guess that the news is that Grand Duke Raphael deliberately created protective rumors.

It was already close to the destination, and Su Lun did not stay in the captain's room to practice.

He stood at the bow of the boat with a rune black umbrella, keeping an eye on everything nearby.

The black crows in the sky shared their vision, and they could already see the huge island more than twenty nautical miles away.

That is "Nuggets Island".

The island is lush and lush, and it looks no different from an ordinary deserted island.

The Eternal Night made a big circle on purpose, bypassing the west side of the island and approaching, avoiding Raphael's densely fortified area on the east side of the island.

At this moment, Tani suddenly jumped down from the mast and reported: "Mr. Su Lun, the fish said that there are some strange creatures appearing in the sea over there. They should be mechanical creatures. If we get closer, May be discovered."

Su Lun nodded thoughtfully when he heard this: "Yes."

He didn't know, it seemed that the island was undefended, but the mechanical creatures hidden in the sea were the best detectors.

If there are strange humans approaching, not only will they be discovered by the people on the island, but they may also be sunk.

Thanks to Tani's ability to "listen to the voice of sea beasts", otherwise no one would have been able to approach Nugget Island quietly.

But Su Lun also looked at Tani, the number one navigator of the dawn had advanced to the third rank in just a few months.

After the plane channel is connected, the laws of heaven and earth are gradually perfected, and career advancement becomes easier and easier. Especially in the field of low-level professionals, there was no threshold for the first, second and third levels, but now it is as easy as drinking water. As long as the spiritual power is overflowing, almost everyone can advance smoothly.

Tani also became more and more proficient in using his natural abilities after his rank was promoted.

Seeing this, Su Lun didn't delay much, and greeted everyone on the boat: "Brothers, those who are going to rob, prepare to trigger."

"Haha, it's finally here."

"."

With this voice, everyone in the Dawn Group, who had been prepared for a long time, shouted excitedly.

Qianjo also came over, with a sharp expression on his face, "Do you want to go directly to the island?"

"No, let's dive in first."

Su Lun shook his head.

Although the forced landing is not a big problem for the current dawn regiment, he looked at the island in the distance, and he chose the safest method, "I discovered it in the battle of Lingdun before, and the Raphael Mechanical Warcraft Legion An indispensable part is the 'beast trainer'. If I guessed correctly, the great animal trainer among the top ten legendary hunters who has disappeared from public view for a long time should also be on the island. Really let me I guessed it right. In a fight, no eighth-level professional can take him down in a short period of time. And if he is discovered in advance, there may be other changes in the laboratory in the base. We are going to rob property this time, so there is no need to confront him head-on. .”

Chijo also shrugged, "Okay!"

She's not good at thinking things, and with Su Lun around, she didn't think about it.

Everyone entered Su Lun's small void, and Su Lun took out the [Oz Iceman's Shroud] and wrapped himself up. While it was transparent, the breath had completely disappeared.

And it was when the Dawn Mission approached the Nugget Island, underground on the island, in the Secret Mechanics Research Institute.

A technician in a white coat was mysteriously communicating with a guard.

"This is the design drawing of the A3 part of the mechanical monster. You should send it back to the empire as soon as possible during the next supply. Also, ask the military department to arrange a group of people to send it over. There are enough people, and then I will be able to arm myself." Seize the control of this secret research institute. Those equipment and scientific research talents are very important, and will save us decades of research and development time, absolutely no mistakes!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

"One more thing. Recently, there is a mechanical transformation plan for high-level siren in the research institute. I suspect that there are top professionals on the island. You should inform the military department that no matter which intelligence force it is, they must not be allowed to approach the waters near the island rashly! No one should come to test me, otherwise it will interfere with my plan. Once the mines in Old Lingdon are blocked by the military, it will be very difficult to obtain these technologies.”

"yes!"

If someone else is here, they will definitely be surprised by the conversation between the two.

No one would have thought that the secret research base guarded by Grand Duke Rafael had infiltrated the spies of the Marfa Empire.

Su Lun teleported many times and appeared on Nugget Island.

Here is a rainforest climate, tall trees block out the sun.

There are various animals active in the forest, a vibrant scene. Monkeys jumping around on branches, vipers entangled under dead leaves, fish swimming in streams, deer grazing in a daze in the forest.

It seems that they are no different from ordinary tropical islands.

But no one saw that the skin of some animals was scratched off by the branches, and it shone with a metallic luster in the sun.

Quietly, a transparent figure appeared standing on the dead leaves.

The little lizard passing by seemed to have noticed the slight movement, sniffed it, but found nothing, and left again.

Su Lun looked around, his soul fluctuated a lot, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Snakes, rats, and rats themselves have extraordinary perception capabilities. Even with deodorizing potions, humans exposed to the air will be spotted by animals several kilometers away.

And any small animal on this island may be the "eyeliner" of the animal trainer.

Su Lun found a direction without any soul fluctuations, and teleported again.

Looking again, it has appeared in a claustrophobic cave.

Stopping to expand the range of perception, he muttered in his heart: "There is a very powerful soul wave lurking on the island, it seems that this is here."

From the appearance, there is nothing unusual about this island.

But according to Su Lun's perception, several monsters with at least sixth-order soul fluctuations were found on this island with a radius of several kilometers.

This is very abnormal.

It is not surprising that there are high-level monsters on the island, but it must also follow the basic supply and demand ecology of the natural food chain.

This island can't support so many high-level monsters.

This abnormal situation makes it easy to speculate that the only result is that the high-level monsters on this island are domesticated here.

"In other words, the secret base is underground here."

Su Lun recognized this and confirmed the location.

According to the information stripped out before, it is only known that this island is Raphael's research base, but they don't know how to get in.

Raphael's base fighters and scientific research personnel are always absolutely separated, which has kept his base from being discovered by outsiders for so many years.

Although he didn't sense the underground space, Su Lun wasn't surprised either.

The only reasonable explanation is that the research base is hidden very deep.

He carefully arranged the isolation formation, and then summoned the wax figure of the earth element.

It was like looking for the altar of the Outer God in Lingdun. As the wax figure became elemental, Su Lun's whole body also merged into the soil.

He didn't intend to look for any entrance, but simply drilled directly into the ground.

It sank all the way, but fortunately it was not found.

After descending about two thousand meters, Su Lun suddenly sensed a huge space underground.

And in that space, there are dense soul fluctuations.

"found it!"

Su Lun was overjoyed.

After confirming a position, and then teleporting, the person has appeared in a bustling mine city.

"It's really an underground mine. And it turns out that the traces are hundreds of thousands of years ago."

Su Lun climbed on the rock wall and looked at the ancient mining traces.

In other words, the mine is still an ancient relic.

It existed before Grand Duke Raphael came to mine it.

Seeing the mine pit, Su Lun was also a little moved. Grand Duke Raphael was really lucky. Not only did he discover Old Lingdun, but also the remains of this ancient mine pit.

This underground space is several hundred meters long, and in the distance is an underground city that is almost entirely made of steel.

In Su Lun's perception, there are a lot of humans in the city, estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.

With such a dense population of humans, Su Lun didn't have to worry about being discovered.

After observing for a while, he tore off the shroud, changed his clothes by tricks, and put on a dirty miner's attire.

After another teleportation, he had already appeared in an empty room in a high-rise building in the city.

Su Lun stood by the window, staring at the busy street downstairs.

The city is like a super-large "steel factory", with steel pipes everywhere, and there are many tall buildings of ten or twenty floors. But almost all buildings are steel structures, and the air is filled with a strong smell of rust and exhaust gas from ore smelting.

The city is full of steam boilers emitting white smoke, and large and small smelting workshops are everywhere. It is not difficult to see that the overall degree of mechanization of the city is very high, but the technical level is not too advanced.

The whole city is like a steel monster hidden deep in the ground, constantly swallowing stones and gold.

"There are so many rare metal resources, how rich is this vein?"

Su Lun appraised it, and the houses and buildings here are not ordinary steel, but alloy steel that is expensive outside.

Those rare metals are not extracted, but they are directly used to build houses?

The only explanation is that the mines here are so extravagant that they can be squandered like this.

The corners of Su Lun's eyes twitched slightly, and his heart became more and more looking forward to: I'm afraid this time I'm going to make a lot of money

Looking at the past, not far from him is a super-large ore refining factory.

There are countless workers working in the workshop building, they refine the ore into metal ingots, and then load them into trucks and transport them away.

When Su Lun looked over, he happened to see the boiler of a steam train roaring on the exclusive track for ore transportation leading to the factory workshop.

"crack", "crack", "crack".

Mine carts pulled loads of ore in.

Su Lun looked at the colorful ores exposed in the carriage, narrowed his eyes slightly, and was surprised: "Rainbow ores? The quality is so high!"

Rainbow veins are worth not just referring to a certain kind of ore, but referring to some rich ore mixed with rare metals.

Magic pattern brass, mithril, black iron, rebar

These rare metals are mixed together to reflect a variety of brilliant colors.

In the outside world, a purity of more than "20" is already a valuable bonanza.

Now these high-purity ores are identified, and they are generally of the highest purity of "purity 25", "purity 29", and "purity 27".

If you really want to sell it to the outside world, a car is worth millions of lisos.

Looking at the numb eyes of the workers, is this just ordinary ore?

"No wonder"

Su Lun's eyes were extremely hot.

In an instant, he knew why Grand Duke Raphael was so financially able to produce those hundreds of thousands of mechanical warriors!

The value of a mine right now is absolutely incomparable.

It seems that the Rafael family has been operating here for decades, who knows how much wealth they have accumulated!

Su Lun observed silently from a high place for a while, teleported again, and walked out of an alley, quietly blending into the crowd of people on the street.

"It actually has such a large scale."

Su Lun was also surprised when he looked at the bustling city in front of him.

The memory was blurred for a moment, and I thought I had returned to the underground world of Old Lington that never saw the light of day.

But things are different here.

Old Lingdon used to have an ancient city relic, and its main industries were mechanical military industry, biological research, and wilderness hunting and treasure hunting. Although the industrial chain was deformed, it was similar to a normal city.

And this place is purely an underground pit dug out by mining, and then a densely populated city has grown out.

Moreover, just looking at the disgraceful attire of the people on the street, the occupation structure here is also very single, almost all of them are "miners"!

Hundreds of thousands of miners!

Su Lun sensed the space structure, and found that there is a cobweb-like passage in the ground, and the mine does not know how deep it has spread.

He walked all the way, and saw some shops selling basic materials and alchemy knowledge, but most of them were mechanical modification shops.

Miners are highly likely to be physically disabled, so miners with mechanical prosthetics can be seen everywhere on the streets here. There are also some "advanced miners" equipped with mechanical exoskeletons, which do not seem to be for combat functions, but for more efficient mining and handling of heavy objects.

There are pharmacy stores, food stores, stores for daily necessities, hotels, taverns and public baths for entertainment.

The business ecology in Steel City is already perfect enough to sustain the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.

Su Lun walked all the way through the street.

In soul perception, there are also all low-level professionals and ordinary people.

Miners don't need too much fighting ability, along the way, they didn't even see a Tier 3 professional.

Grand Duke Raphael controlled the [Sun God Stone], which is necessary for advancing to the fourth level. No one in this mine can break through the fourth level.

People's skin color is pale because they don't see the sun all the year round, but their facial features can tell that not only people from all over Luying, but also people from Mafa.

The source of population is obviously slaves brought from various places.

It was exactly the same situation in Old Lyndon.

In addition to miners, pedestrians on the street also have a few professionals who wear weapons. Listening to their conversation, it was the "hunting team" responsible for hunting the cave-dwelling monsters in the mine.

When Su Lun was wandering on the street to observe, he heard the noise and turned a street. He happened to meet a hunting team returning to the city that smelled of blood.

The leader was a third-tier bearded man.

This was what Su Lun had seen as the strongest professional in the city.

Those people walked along the way, and people greeted each other like welcoming heroes.

"Hey, Captain Mark, you're back. Have you cleaned up those damned crypt rats in T5 area? No more monster corpses, the cannery has been short of meat recently."

"Of course. Not only the giant rat group was killed, but also a new vein of purple gold was discovered over there. Oh, the folks who will be assigned to mine there next month will be happy, not only can they complete the monthly payment task of the city lord, At least there’s a lot of money left over.”

"Haha, brother Mark, this mission is completed, your contribution points should be able to enter the inner city guards, right? Oh, then you will really have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime."

"Uncle Ward, I would like to borrow your good words. Your family's Ike seems to be joining the hunting team this year, right? I will let my teammates take care of it then."

"Oh, thank you very much. You go home quickly, your beautiful wife Joanna is waiting for you."

"Hey. I'll go now, and I'll ask you out for a drink next time."

"."

It's just some very ordinary neighbors chatting, and the folk customs are simple.

These conversations may sound incredible to outsiders.

But Su Lun, who came from Old Lingdun, was very touched.

These "miners" had their memories wiped out, and they didn't even know there was an outside world.

If there are no outsiders, they will stay in this "underground world" for a lifetime and reproduce.
