"Only when the environment remains harsh can the sky be an oasis in the desert, a harbor in the waves, and the only Garden of Eden after the Dark Ages."
“For hundreds of years, we have strictly controlled the armed forces deployed within the canopy, maintained just the right amount of deterrence, accurately adjusted material rations to ensure the vitality of the free market, allowed gangs to exist legally, and acquiesced in the circulation of arms to avoid large-scale riots. Armed groups, initiatives like this, there are many more.”
“We rely on the people of Downtown to run Downtown.”
"Everything Xi'an has done is to ensure that Xiacheng District can continue to be the spark of civilization."
"Now, it's up to you if and when you change."
"Brother, think about it, and then tell me your decision."
Until he arrived at the moon and stepped out of the spacecraft, his brother's words kept echoing in Li Liang's mind.
After waking up, he also had questions about why there were sandstorms roaring outside the sky all year round, and why the radiation after a nuclear war could last for so many years. According to the common sense of a thousand years ago, it didn't make sense at all. In addition, Xi'an had such a high With the level of science and technology, why doesn’t it change the earth’s environment?
Now that he knew the truth, he was shocked and seemed to be nothing surprised.
This is what Xi'an would do, and this is the decision "Li Liang" would make.
Only now, the choice is in his hands.
Stopping the sandstorm and radiation seemed to be a choice that did not require hesitation, but after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that under the current situation, once the residents of the Lower City learned the truth, they were likely to riot immediately.
Fortunately, the canopy is currently closed, and there is still time to make long-term plans.
"Li Liang?" Cain's voice came.
Li Liang raised his head and looked around.
This is the canyon on the far side of the moon where Dros's headquarters is located.
K and Cain were standing not far away, looking back at him.
"Well, here we come," Li Liang chased after him.
The spacecraft stopped directly outside the command headquarters. In front of it was the trapezoidal pyramid, with a large number of androids coming in and out.
When they reached the door, Zero Four greeted them.
"Owner."
Li Liang nodded: "Where is Anqiao?"
"Ms. Li Anqiao is at the mine."
"Well, take us there."
Under the leadership of Zero Four, the three of them went down the stone steps.
The platforms on both sides of the stone steps were no longer as empty as before. Many Zhuosi people were working in front of the light curtain. After noticing Li Liang's figure, they all stood up and raised their hands in Xi'an salute.
These are the Dros people who were selected by Li Hao and are willing to support Li Xiaozi to become the leader of the valve. The rest of the Dros people are all imprisoned in the mechanical city in the upper city of the moon, and are guarded by androids.
However, the Dros command largely remains of symbolic significance, and new headquarters for the Interstellar Expeditionary Force and the Deep Space Defense Fleet are being built on the ruins of the Western Mines.
The reason why Anqiao stayed here was to take care of the Li child and stabilize Zhuos internal affairs, and also to keep an eye on the Yaling gold mine.
According to Teemo, Yaling Gold is an associated metal formed when spiritual cores condense. It is very rare. Li Shuang also mentioned just now that it was precisely because of the metallurgical method provided by the Time Observer that Xi'an was able to use Yaling Gold. Create the Needle of Asia.
In addition, Yalingjin has many uses. At least as far as he knows, the membrane covering Zhuos headquarters is Yalingjin. The manufacturing of the sky curtain, the upper city, and many spacecraft engines are also inseparable from Yalingkin.
Because Machisas's magic talisman array was engraved on Yalingjin, its stability far exceeded Dododisar's expectations, and it was able to persist until he returned from the spiritual world.
In the future, the value of Yaling Gold to humans will even exceed the value of the Spirit Core Mine compensated by fairies.
Deep inside the headquarters, a large number of armed robots are arranged in a stepped stadium-like space, and they are advanced versions of the guard robot corps. Although they are similar in appearance to those on the earth, they all have the ability to transform. It is said that these are also Yalingjin. properties possessed by a certain alloy.
Take the elevator down to the mine deep underground. Onkyo is already waiting beside the elevator.
"Mr. Li Liang," Anqiao, who was wearing a black uniform with gold epaulettes, stood upright and made a standard raising of hands salute.
When I met Onkyo for the first time, this woman was dressed in ancient costume and had a peach-like face. She seemed to be smart and capable, without showing any ambition. But at this moment, after killing Andre with her own hands and taking control of the marginal business department, the new president's The sharpness in his eyes was revealed.
"Yeah," Li Liang nodded and walked towards the exposed Yaling Gold Mine in the distance.
K and Cain looked around and were surprised by the vastness of this underground mine.
Under the dome that is hundreds of meters high, there are densely packed mechanical arms and criss-crossing transportation devices. Countless androids are manipulating a special cutting equipment to cut out the raw Yaling gold ore.
There is a passage that continues downward on the wall of the pit on the other side. From time to time, bionic people come out. Apparently there are other mines of similar size below.
Li Liang came to the wall of the pit directly opposite the elevator. There was a polished circular area where Machsas's magic talisman was originally engraved. It had long since disappeared, leaving some burn marks.
He reached out and touched it, felt it carefully, and found that the spirit could not penetrate the Yaling Gold.
This special metal is estimated to be used in magic and Taoism beyond imagination. Human beings may use it to make engines and protective shields, which may be overkill...
He came to the nearest "miner" again. The cutting equipment in the hands of the android looked very much like a hand-held power saw used for logging, except that the saw blade seemed to be made purely of energy and shone with a dazzling blue light.
Zero Four came to his side and introduced: "Currently, forty-five mines are being mined at the same time, and the daily mining volume can be maintained at about twelve tons."
Li Liang asked casually: "Why use this manual cutting method?"
"There are other impurities of unknown composition in the raw ore, and their distribution is irregular. Some impurities will react violently with the energy knife of the power saw, so it is not suitable for cutting with large equipment."
"Oh, how big is this Yaling gold ore?"
"It has been measured that it covers an area of about 50,000 square kilometers and weighs about 2,180 trillion tons."
"Trillion?" Li Liang was stunned, "Trillion tons?"
"Yes, 2180 trillion tons."
Li Liang looked around.
How long will it take to dig based on this daily output?
It seems that in addition to conducting theoretical research on magic and Taoism, there is another urgent priority, which is to find an efficient mining method for Yaling Gold. First, dig out this solid lump.
"Anqiao," Li Liang turned around and shouted.
Anqiao, who was talking quietly to K, quickly approached.
"Deploy another fleet from the waters of Zhenjie Fort," Li Liang said solemnly. "Take strict precautions to prevent any problems from happening in this mine."
"Understood," Anqiao bowed.
At this time, a small figure ran out of the elevator, nimbly bypassed the mechanical equipment, and rushed towards it.
Li Liang spread his hands and picked her up.
"Dad..." Child Li leaned his head on his shoulder and whispered, "Are you coming to pick me up?"
Li Liang sighed silently: "Well, I'll take you to play."
"Okay!" Child Li grinned, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Will everyone go?"
"Both go."
Li Liang put her down, took her hand and said, "Let's go see what Dr. Xisen is doing."
