"We decided to do it one by one. Let's plant the world tree first. Master Bond, how many spiritual cores are there for the technology to control the anchor point?"
"Equipment plus training..." Bond blinked, "Fifty thousand."
Li Liang showed a harmless smile: "A discount."
"Four…"
"Thirty-five thousand."
Bond froze.
"Having trouble? It's okay. Think about it again," Li Liang turned to ask Robben, "We previously ordered fifty Shifting Star cross-domain battleships, right?"
Robben nodded: "Yes, these spacecraft are currently parked near the jump point."
"Oh," Li Liang rubbed his chin, "I've been wondering if I ordered too much, what do you think?"
"A battleship has more than two hundred spiritual cores, which is indeed very expensive," Robben said seriously.
"Hiss... I spent impulsively," Li Liang asked seriously, "Master Bond, can the battleship be returned? The loss is negotiable. Who made us brothers..."
"Thirty-eight thousand, no more," Bond said helplessly, "otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the bailiff."
"We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about the battleship first..."
"Thirty-five thousand," Bond raised his head with a look of determination, "Just thirty-five thousand, start work immediately."
Li Liang leaned over and held Bond's shoulders, saying affectionately, "Good brother."
Bond's beard trembled, and his eyes were red with emotion.
"How do we need to cooperate?" Li Liang hugged Bond.
"Well, I'll go back to the business group to arrange the design, exploration and engineering teams first. You clear the surface of the spiritual gate and everyone moves to the anchor space."
“How long will the entire renovation take?”
"72 hours to 96 hours, no more than 120 hours at most, the World Tree can be transplanted."
"Very good," Li Liang straightened up, "Send a boat to deliver Master Bond."
More than ten minutes later.
Outside the gate of spiritual principles, above the shallow water.
Li Liang watched Bond's special service ship go away and looked up. In just two hours, Nordrassil had obviously grown in size. At this moment, five assault ships had already thrown out connecting cables to hang the giant star. There are countless trees and drones.
"How long can I hold on?"
Robben replied: "According to the current growth rate, it can barely last 5 days."
Li Liang nodded: "Deploy another robot unit from Zhenjie Fort, so nothing can happen to World Tree."
He knew very well that the reason why Robben did not use the more powerful Lanikea to hoist the World Tree was to guard against the Tifami and possible sneak attacks. Thinking of this, he asked again: "The fifty battleships are equipped with Got a weapon?"
"Yes," Robben said worriedly, "Captain Teemo is currently in the Tifa Secret Merchant Group, but I still feel..."
"How many of our men are on each new ship?"
"Each has a combat task force, eight platoons, each with 40 people."
"It's not enough. Send more. Does the spaceship control system belong to the Tifami?"
"The Tifami people said that the new ship is loaded with the most basic flight program. After we take over, we can install our own control system." "Ask the temple dignitaries for the system, and then select a group of trustworthy spacecraft commanders. In Tifa The secret agent will take over the spaceship before work begins."
"OK."
Li Liang raised his head and looked at the Lanikea: "Is the spiritual core of the fairy's compensation on top?"
"Yes."
"Send a ship to bring them back to Earth," Li Liang looked around, "When the Tifami people transform the spiritual gate, our fleet must be on guard within the range."
"yes."
"Go and get busy. After the arrangements are made, you can come to the anchor space for a meeting."
Robben raised his hand in salute, turned around and got into the special service ship, and set off back to the Lanikea.
At this time.
Allen and Deep Blue approached together.
"Li Liang," Allen came over and whispered, "You really don't consider the K.K.B.? Don't be fooled by the words of the Tifa people. Their shipbuilding is just fine. When it comes to infrastructure and anchor technology, , then it must be..."
Before Allen could finish speaking, Li Liang smiled: "Xi'an has cooperated with the KGB for so many years and has always trusted the KGB. Besides, you and Shenlan are my friends, so don't worry, we will continue Collaborate, deepen, collaborate.”
"Cooperation, yes, in-depth cooperation," Allen kept nodding, "Representatives from the KGB Corporation have set off from Du Yujing and will come to Earth soon."
"Okay, let's talk in detail then," Li Liang smiled, "During this period..."
Deep Blue put the game console into his pocket and said: "It is our duty to protect the spiritual door of mankind."
"Yes," Allen added, "we are at your disposal."
"Then the security of the anchor space is up to you two," Li Liang gestured with his hand, leading the two KGB employees towards the transmission channel.
Before negotiating the price with Bond, he first learned about the market price of "anchor control technology" through the KCP. It was basically 35,000 to the end. There were even lower quotes, but the quality of the project was not guaranteed.
We still have to do business with the Tifami people later on. This first transaction has to be treated as a "fracture". It also indirectly tells Bond that the water will flow smoothly. As for the next cooperation with KGB Security Consulting Company, it is to fill the recent void of human defense power. The specific "in-depth" method depends on the sincerity of KGB.
The temporarily established transmission channel became busy. The infrastructure brigade affiliated with the Deep Space Defense Corps was sending all basic materials into the anchor space. At the same time, batches of armed drones appeared in the shallow water one after another, staying briefly and then taking off into the sky.
A few minutes later.
Li Liang, Allen and Shenlan appeared in the anchor space.
Compared to the outside, it is even more chaotic here. Huge containers are being pushed in continuously, and there is no time to dismantle them. The area around the transmission channel has become a container yard. People and robots, and androids are mixed together. There are noisy shouts and the roar of hoisting equipment everywhere. Voice.
After passing through the gap between the containers and twisting and turning, his ears finally became quiet, and Li Liang walked into the communications base.
After the delegation returned, the base continued to function as a communications center, maintaining the connection between the anchor space and the Western Mine Command and the temple.
bass!
A young sergeant major stood at attention and raised his hands.
"What's your name?" Li Liang asked.
"Twin Father God, I, my name is Alex!"
"Relax," Li Liang smiled, "What's the news from Earth?"
Alex stared at Li Liang's face for a moment before coming back to his senses. He quickly picked up a tablet from the console and reported: "First, the technical team sent by the temple will arrive at the anchor space in two hours. Second, , two quick-response fleets affiliated with the Marginal Operations Department will pass through the Gate of Spirituality in one hour and fifteen minutes and rendezvous with the Lanikea, and the order comes from the Joint Staff."
"Well, thank you for your hard work," Li Liang nodded.
At this moment, he found a bit of the feeling of being a commander. Most of the time, a commander does not need to do everything himself, he only needs to give directions.
Boom.
A muffled sound came from outside the base.
Li Liang came outside the base and noticed that a special sealed box was placed not far away by a group of engineering drones. The sound also alerted Cain and his party in front of the anchor point fortress, and they were walking towards the sealed box together.
Further away, the Anchor Point Fortress is being urgently dismantled so that when the Tifami people transform the Anchor Point, the human technical team can clearly observe the entire process.
Looking away, Li Liang also walked towards the sealed box. As he approached, he heard a sergeant major with a loud voice reporting to the group: "Sir, this is the cargo box that was just unloaded from the Lanikea. According to the instructions of the Chief of Staff, The order is placed here.”
"Open it," Li Liang said.
The sergeant major turned around for a moment, raised his palms above his head, lowered his head and said, "Twin Father Gods." Then he turned around and headed straight for the rear of the cargo box.
The proportion of such devout believers in the legion was not high. This was the first time Li Liang encountered a sergeant major performing religious rituals. However, his attention was quickly attracted by the contents of the cargo box.
"Book," Allen beside him shook his head and muttered, "I thought it was a spiritual core..."
However, Cain, who was the first to walk into the cargo box, was surprised: "You said this is a book?"
In fact, Li Liang also wanted to ask this question, because the things in the cargo box had nothing to do with the "books" in his imagination.
The open end of the container was ten meters long and five meters high, with neatly stacked... crystal bricks.
"This is an information carrier for silicon-based organisms, equivalent to paper books for you humans." Allen stepped forward and picked up a brick and looked at it. "The Dickinson and Skylar Alliance, um, that's right."
K probed over and wondered: "Where are the words?"
"Here," Allen pointed to a few carvings, "these grooves are the marks. Different silicon-based biological tissues have different marks. If you look at them more, you can distinguish them. The marks of the Dickinson and Schuyler combination It looks like a peach butt, do you think it looks like it?"
K looked at it for a moment: "It really looks like..."
Li Liang realized that Robben was overly attentive in his work. He had swept away all the books on Avalon's different civilizations. Speaking of which, when Makosik was buying newspapers, he seemed to have seen inorganic creatures selling newspapers. Buy a piece of glass plate-like thing from the machine.
Cain had squeezed in through the gap in the crystal bricks and was making a fuss and shouting something in a dull voice.
Li Liang called for everyone to follow him, squeezed in and saw Cain with short blue hair squatting in the middle of a "flower pot". The flowers in the surrounding flower pots were also blue, and her head perfectly blended into the environment.
Dr. Xisen reached out and pinched a certain green leaf, and said blankly: "What kind of plant is this?"
There is a tall plant growing in each flower pot, with lush branches and leaves, and a blue flower blooming on the top. The only difference is the shape of the flower.
"Book," Allen padded his feet behind the crowd, "That one, like Cain's hairstyle, is the iconic form of 'The Only Great Symbiosis'. If my guess is correct, that book is boasting about it throughout the book. Fungal creatures are mostly suitable as combat pets.”
"What is the only great symbiosis?" Li Liang asked.
"An organization of fungal organisms," Allen hummed as he squeezed forward and looked around, "Well, the collection is quite comprehensive, but unfortunately, they are all books about selling pets. Those fungal organisms are poor and crazy. If you only know a little about psychic technology and know nothing about magic and Taoism, you can only sell yourself. Remember, don’t buy it. If that thing comes to the earth, it will definitely destroy the earth’s ecology.”
"You said this flower has the same hairstyle as mine? Are you blind?" Cain fluttered his hair, got up and continued walking deeper.
Allen accompanied Smiley quite unpromisingly, ran forward and pointed to the shelves on both sides and said: "Everyone, the small bottle above contains the standard pheromones of the 'Spiked Iron Hoof Alliance', and the large jar below contains The Timolaine...hey, don't open it..."
Unfortunately, he spoke too late. Cain held a test tube and pulled out the cork.
A strong smell of creaking nest came out.
Cain immediately plugged the lid, pinched his nose and asked, "What the hell does this smell like?"
"Pheromones," Allen laughed, "We fluid creatures have no sense of smell, hahaha..." Facing the glares of everyone, the laughter stopped abruptly. He put on a serious expression and grabbed the test tube from Cain's hand. , "Humans don't play around."
Before he finished speaking, Li Ru opened a large jar and asked in confusion: "Is there a book in this too?"
Fortunately, the large jar contained some kind of thick, black liquid that had a very bland taste and smelled a bit like asphalt.
"Yes, the information carrier of the Temoleans."
Li Liang said helplessly: "Go further in."
The sealed box was a hundred meters deep. The group of people moved forward, passing through area after area, and saw all kinds of strange "books", including liquids of different colors, nets made of "glass tubes", and some sealed in hollow metal boxes. There are ball lightnings, radiant gems, flickering light spots, and a pile of stone tablets with wet traces on them one after another. There are many piled up together, making it difficult to see clearly. They look like paper rolls and Like some kind of animal-dried leather.
All the way to the deepest place, the long-lost bookshelf finally appeared under the dim light. However, in comparison, only a very small part of the "books" that humans can understand.
The bookshelves are very close together and filled with books of all sizes, with scrolls of different lengths stuffed in the gaps.
Li Liang took out a conspicuous thick book and opened it. The text on the title page changed into Chinese characters: "Universal Language of Titans".
He pulled out another book with complicated patterns. This one was thicker than "Universal of Titans". On the title page was written "Archangel Malaphis: The Secret of the 'Cornerstone' Prime"
Very good.
He closed the book with satisfaction and looked around at the tens of thousands of books.
Knowledge is power, and he felt powerful now.
