Three Gorges.
A sudden military exercise directly blocked most of the areas upstream and downstream of the Three Gorges Dam.
The ship freight center with the Three Gorges Dam as its hub carries an astonishing volume of freight every day. A one-day suspension is a huge loss, so basically if it is to be suspended, it needs to be announced several days in advance.
But this time it was different. At the same time as the announcement was issued, the army had directly taken over the upstream and downstream, no ships were allowed to pass, and even the surrounding land areas were blocked. Within just a few hours, all the idle people were waiting. Clear them all out!
Internally——
A garrison base in the Three Gorges.
"Captain, tell me, who is the big shot here this time?" The soldier with camouflage on his face asked curiously, "Suddenly there was such a big movement. I heard that the surrounding area was cleared, and Arrange for us to pick you up at the airport again? Do you need to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance? "
"As you said...what other big shots have you met before?" the captain asked.
"I've seen that student of yours last time!" the soldier replied.
"You have a good memory... So it's really 'again', huh?" The captain nodded, "However, my answer is the same - I don't know."
"Oh..." the soldier responded, having nothing to do. After a while, he asked again, "Captain, who is that student of yours? The whole thing happened last time in a fog, and he was still confused. I signed a confidentiality agreement..."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Those things are not what we should be concerned about. As soldiers, we only need to obey orders. We only need to know what we need to know. Don't know what we shouldn't know!"
The captain's face darkened: "My students are my students, and I don't know about the others... Okay, it will probably take some time to arrive, so prepare to line up to greet them!"
Not long after, a camouflaged armed helicopter flew over and stopped on the tarmac.
So, as if the old days were reappearing, as the door of the armed helicopter slid open, two very familiar people stepped out of the helicopter first... The eyes of this group of special forces widened.
It wasn't because of the good looks of the man and the woman, or because two people dressed like they were on vacation came to such a grand occasion, but because they all knew the man and the woman!
"Mo Qiuran?" The captain was the first to be unable to hold back. His huge surprise overshadowed his professional instinct, "Why is it you again?"
So the boy who jumped out of the helicopter glanced at the captain, and through the thick oil paint, he recognized a familiar face, and a surprised smile appeared on his face: "Instructor? Why are you here too?"
"Of course I'm here. I'm now responsible for the security here, and I was arranged to pick someone up today...wait, you are the one?" The captain finally reacted mid-sentence.
"Ah, if nothing else happens, it should be us." Mo Qiuran scratched his head and smiled, "We are here under the orders of our superiors this time... Sister Tang, what are we here for?"
Halfway through, Mo Qiuran seemed to have forgotten what to say and looked at Tang Zi aside.
"Water quality inspection." Tang Zi said.
"Ah, yes, yes, water quality inspection! Water quality inspection!" Mo Qiuran nodded as if suddenly enlightened and said to the instructor.
Instructor: "..."
As the most elite team of the special forces stationed here, the tasks they are responsible for today have already been explained by their superiors.
It was said that they were asked to take the people who came for inspection to board the warship, go to the destination, and then conduct diving operations. However, they were not included in the diving operations. The order they received was that they could only guard the ship and everything must be done. The person who is handed over is free to do whatever he wants and follow the orders... The authority is simply ridiculous.
Then he heard what Mo Qiuran said... came to inspect the water quality?
Your water quality inspection requires conducting such a large-scale emergency military exercise without any advance notice, and also requires diving operations?
This naturally sounded like an excuse. Although the instructor was very curious about Mo Qiuran's true purpose of coming here, they also signed a confidentiality agreement before this operation, so they did not continue to ask.
However, it is particularly strange that the students who were taught back then have suddenly become big leaders who need to be sent by their superiors to receive them solemnly.
"If that's the case, then get ready to go...are you two alone?" the instructor asked.
"Of course not, there are several people this time..." Mo Qiuran turned back and looked in the direction of the helicopter. At this time, the helicopter's propeller had gradually stopped, and there was no such loud noise as before, "Hey! Vice principal, senior and junior schoolmate ! It’s time to get off the plane when we arrive!”
The instructors and team members on the side couldn't help but fell silent again after hearing this. This series of names... So, is it some special operation code name?
They couldn't help but feel relieved. Although this code name sounded a bit strange, it at least had something to do with such a grand battle...
Otherwise, such a large military exercise was just to make room for a man and a woman who looked to be in their twenties. It was really... Although they knew that the other party was capable and not simple, they subconsciously couldn't accept it.
Then they saw four people, an old cowboy, a slovenly science man, a swordsman, and a clingy school girl getting off the plane.
In an instant, an idea came to my mind... It might as well be just the man and woman just now!
Even though I know it’s impossible, it still makes me think... this is some kind of small tour group going on vacation. It’s definitely true!
No matter what they were thinking, they still completed their mission according to their responsibilities, brought the group of people to the warship, and sailed away according to the location given by Mo Qiuran.
…
June is the season of frequent heavy rains, but today is a rare good weather. The sky is clear and the breeze is gentle on the river, which also makes people feel better.
on board.
"What I mean is, since we don't need to go into the water at all, why do we have to come here? In fact, it seems that it is too late to go back by helicopter..." Finger said.
"Because science and technology are now advanced, senior, you can directly tell us whether we have found anything valuable based on the real-time signal transmission screen here.
After all, the information obtained is only a general direction, but you still have to look for the details yourself. Such a large area is almost like finding a needle in a haystack. "
Mo Qiuran said: "Of course, senior, you can go down and accompany us."
As soon as Fingel said this, he didn't dare to say "Since there is signal transmission, it's actually okay for me to stay at the command base to help you see", otherwise he would be really worried about Mo Qiuran directly Pull him down.
The old cowboy simply stopped talking. Strictly speaking, what Fingel said was actually the same as what he wanted to say. After all, a master-disciple relationship can be said to be a true black man.
…
"According to the intelligence, the most likely location is the location of Baidi City." Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the old cowboy began to work.
In fact, it is difficult to tell whether he wants to leave or stay. After all, as a master of alchemy, it is absolutely impossible not to be interested in the Nibelungs, the legendary ancestor of alchemy and the Lord of Bronze and Fire.
It was even supposed to be fanatical.
It's just that the old cowboy insists on his character of being greedy for life and afraid of death, so he doesn't seem so excited and expectant.
As for the reason, it is not very clear.
"Baidi City? If there is a city, it should be an obvious target, right?" Xia Mi asked. Although her style of painting looked like a young couple who traveled with Chu Zihang, but I am still very concerned about the progress of things.
Of course, her and Chu Zihang's status in the team at this time is almost the same as "credit pendants". After all, there are Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi for fighting, Old Cowboy and Fingel for analyzing intelligence, and there is not much else. role.
"It would be nice if it was that simple. First of all, it is certain that basically all the dragon kings' residences are in the Nibelungs, and the only way the Nibelungs need to interact with the outside space is that [ Door】.
When certain conditions are met, the [door] will open, and inside is a layer of space created by the first generation species, like a brand new world...the kingdom of the dead. "
"If this door originally existed in a physical form, it would probably have been submerged by the rising water levels due to the completion of the Three Gorges Dam...
After all, even the first generation species could not imagine that humans could create such miracles. "When the old cowboy said this, his tone was full of emotion.
"The approximate place should be here," Fingel stopped messing around and started to work. What he is looking forward to most now is probably to go back after finding the place, so he tapped a place on the map. explain.
"The northeast and southeast of here are mountains. What is above the water is the white ground, and what is below the water is Chijia Mountain, forming a [gate] structure. Opposite is the original Caotang River, which passes through a valley.
According to Feng Shui, this is the place where mountain dragons and water dragons meet, gathering the energy of yin and yang, so the ruins of Baidi City should be here, and the entrance... is probably also within this area. "
"Okay, senior, I didn't expect you to know Feng Shui!" Mo Qiuran praised in surprise.
"Hey, I understand a little bit, but it's not worth mentioning." Fingel showed a proud expression on his face.
"Absolutely. The entrance should be at this location, but over thousands of years, it should have been covered up due to changes in terrain and accumulation of sand. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why it was not discovered during the inspection before the Three Gorges Dam was built." The old cowboy nodded in agreement. What Fingel said.
"How deep should it be specifically?" Mo Qiuran asked.
"Currently, the water depth is about fifty meters. As for the depth of the entrance... Thousands of years of changes are too long. It is meaningless to rashly infer. The entrance may be hidden under a thin layer of water. Under the sand, it may also be buried tens of meters deep in the mountains." The old cowboy shook his head and answered.
"Unless there is an instrument that can detect far underground and can detect a large amount of bronze, there is no way to accurately determine where the entrance is," Fingel pondered for a while and said, "The Palace of the King of Bronze and Fire , must be made of bronze."
"What if it is detected through the spirit of speech?" Mo Qiuran asked.
"If it is a word spirit, in order not to cause too much damage to the surroundings, it is best to use a detection type of word spirit. In this case, the word spirit [Snake] should be the most suitable." Fingel replied.
"Yan Ling·[Snake], for the releaser, is to release the flashing snake in the brain to explore and obtain information. After research, the conclusion is that it is similar to controlling biological currents for exploration." Xia Miju He raised his hand to answer, then patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "Phew, I finally found a topic I can interrupt in!"
"Yes, and in a low-resistance environment, the distance between this word spirit is astonishingly large, such as on rainy days, on railroad tracks, or inside water bodies." Fingel nodded, "The most extreme example is the naming of this word spirit. and what the discoverer created.
Nikola Tesla once used this voice spirit and amplification coil to detect the Tunguska explosion in Siberia even though he was in the United States. It can be understood that his domain covered the entire earth at that time. "
"But the powerful magnetic field disorder of the Tunguska explosion itself was also one of the reasons." The old cowboy waved his hand, "There is no need to boast so mysteriously... That kid is just lucky!"
For other people, this sentence would probably be regarded as treason or disrespect for the seniors, but for the old cowboy, this was not the case. Everyone just looked at each other, and then remembered the old cowboy's true age. , all fell silent.
Given this person’s age, there seems to be nothing wrong with calling Tesla “that kid”…
"Okay, the topic is off topic. Does this mean that as long as you have the ability to detect metal in a large range, you can roughly find the corresponding location?" Mo Qiuran asked.
"Theoretically, this is true, but just finding it is not enough. The intersection is probably covered by thick sand and gravel, and it will take some time to dig underwater to reach it," Finger replied.
"There's no need to worry. If I find the location, I'll have a way to get there." Mo Qiuran waved his hand, "If that's the case, then get ready to get started!"
Fingel was silent. In fact, he was planning to talk about another thing, which was about the candidate for the dive.
According to the regulations of Kassel Academy, the Executive Department prohibits male-female relationships between people who cooperate underwater...because deep diving is a very dangerous thing.
Relying on an oxygen bottle and a custom-made wetsuit with a layer of nanomaterials, a water pressure equivalent to dozens of atmospheres, and only relying on a single wire to keep in touch with the human world, it is easy for people to become overly nervous. Emotional factors can easily lead to unpredictable consequences.
But after thinking about it, Fingel did not say these words, because he suddenly thought of Mo Qiuran's strength... A person who can kill Odin single-handedly, even if he encounters a fully resurrected form underwater What about the King of Bronze and Fire?
Aren't you still killing people?
In the final analysis, regulations are made to protect the weak...
It would be great if I had such strong strength at that time...
Fingel was silent.
…
Naturally, all kinds of equipment had been completely prepared before Mo Qiuran and the others arrived. Otherwise, it might take time to prepare, but with the strength of the national machine, we want to prepare diving equipment and tailoring within a few hours. Customized wetsuits and more, it couldn’t be easier.
Soon, Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi, who had changed into diving suits, jumped into the river.
Originally, Mo Qiuran planned to hold Tang Zi for the famous 'you jump i jump', but because there were too many people around, Tang Zi refused his request...
So Mo Qiuran's goal was achieved. To be honest, he still liked to see Tang Zi's angry side. After all, it was too difficult to see such a scene in the past.
underwater.
Under bright sunshine and sufficient light conditions, coupled with the fact that hybrids have better eyesight than ordinary people, and the water is not turbid, even under fifty meters of water, you can see clearly without using a search light. Chu.
However, with such a deep distance, all sounds are separated. It is so quiet that one can easily hear the sound of one's own heartbeat. There is no sound at all in the surrounding environment, as if one is the only one left in the world. exist.
In such an environment, even if you have a strong psychological will, you are likely to be driven crazy, or have some abnormal behaviors due to excessive mental stress. Therefore, the rule is that if diving operations must be carried out by two or more people Team formation.
The stone was smoothed by the water, making it even difficult to stand on, but it was not difficult for Mo Qiuran and Tang Zi. They quickly solidified a little ice crystal to fix themselves in place, and then stretched out their hands to explore in the mud.
Mo Qiuran found a piece of pottery with ancient patterns and put it in front of the camera.
"This thing has a history of at least more than 1,000 years. It is most likely a relic of Baidi City. It is roughly in this direction." The old cowboy took a look and replied. As a tomb robbing expert, he has considerable authority in this area. The right to speak.
"How are you going to investigate?" Tang Zi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course... I explored it like this." Mo Qiuran smiled, looked at the shining temporary projection in his projection space, closed his eyes, and chose to use it.
It was an old man in a suit and leather tie. The wrinkles on his face were particularly obvious, and he had thick bags under his eyes. He wore a strange helmet on his head, but his eyes were extremely sharp.
Mo Qiuran recognized this old man.
Eric Lensher... Of course, his other name is more well-known to everyone——
Magneto!
Magneto can control metal through magnetism. At his peak, he can even directly control the magnetic field of the entire earth, thus causing an apocalypse on the level of annihilation.
However, despite clearly possessing such powerful abilities, Lao Wan, also known as Magneto, actually became a living figure.
After all, what he can control is electromagnetic force, one of the four basic forces!
Just look at what happened to Little Flash who has mastered the special fifth basic power of the DC Universe, the Speed Force... As long as Little Flash is not killed before the big event happens, there is absolutely no way to proceed, and when writing about Honkai Impact When the time comes, Xiao Shan directly sacrifices to the sky, in exchange for the universe to restart.
In short, if the electromagnetic force is used properly, it is definitely not inferior to the so-called Phoenix Power or even surpasses it!
But Magneto, who possesses this ability, only knows how to move steel and then smash it.
It can be seen from this that how important knowledge is. If Magneto had been educated since he was a child and became an expert in physics and electromagnetism...then things would definitely be very different. Putting aside everything else, Professor There is no way to stop him, not even Magneto without his helmet!
As this projection was used, Mo Qiuran instantly felt the ubiquitous power that he could control.
One of the four fundamental forces, electromagnetism!
When using this projection, Mo Qiuran regretted it. Such a powerful projection should never be wasted when it is just used to detect metal objects!
Put it this way, what's the difference between you and Lao Wan? At least Lao Wan is a stage person and can create a big scene, but he is only used to detect metal!
Fortunately, the temporary projection can be interrupted and wait for the next use...
Mo Qiuran quickly controlled the power that did not exist in a physical way to extend downwards, and soon touched a huge object, which was obviously an abnormally regular metal body.
So Mo Qiuran opened his eyes, smiled and nodded at Tang Zi: "We found it, about 40 meters directly below us."
"That place should be inside the rock layer." Fingel lamented, "The King of Bronze and Fire actually built his White Emperor City inside a mountain."
"It is not impossible to achieve this with the ability of the King of Bronze and Fire," the old cowboy thought for a while and said, "Word Spirit·[Heaven and Earth is the Furnace], the releaser can be in the center of the realm of Word Spirit, Smelt metal at will to create the shape you want.
With the strength of the first-generation King of Bronze and Fire Norton, it doesn't even need to be constructed part by part. It only needs to directly convert tens of thousands of tons of bronze into copper paste... and then directly mold it into one piece! "
"Just think about it, it's an extremely grand and spectacular scene..." Fingel sighed with emotion.
Mo Qiuran thought that he could only control the metal melting and casting of a city. If you want to see it, I can directly control the metal frames of the entire earth to be made!
But that would be the end of the world. It seems that he has no intention of becoming a big devil and destroying the world.
"The question now is how great is the Lord of Bronze and Fire? Shouldn't it be how we should cut through the forty-meter-thick rock formation, break into other people's doors, kick the door open, and then open the great Will the existence be killed?" Xia Mi asked.
"What the junior schoolmate said makes sense!" Mo Qiuran was the first to agree. He couldn't just say that he wanted to surpass Norton casually. After all, it was not easy to show off such a thing... so he might as well just go to the door and kill him. Well!
"It's just a forty-meter rock formation... I can handle it easily! It's just a matter of blowing!" Mo Qiuran added.
"Wait a minute, this is not far from the Three Gorges Dam. Don't use too powerful methods to avoid serious consequences!" the old cowboy couldn't help but remind.
It's not that he doesn't believe that Mo Qiuran can't open the forty-meter-thick rock formation. It should be quite difficult to drill through the forty-meter-thick rock formation under fifty meters of water depth, but compared to In terms of what Mo Qiuran has done...
I guess it's really a matter of blowing one's breath, rather than an exaggerated rhetorical technique.
"Don't worry, I know this well!" Mo Qiuran said.
Then, a golden-red light shone in his eyes.
Speed Force!
Any kind of basic force can achieve incredible things, and the Speed Force, which is the fifth basic force in the DC universe, is even more so... Not to mention extreme speed, there is also - resonance shuttle!
Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, the Speed Force does allow the Terminator to pass through all objects through resonance.
Naturally, this also includes a forty-meter rock formation!
Of course, Mo Qiuran didn't plan to use telescopic force to dig and drive a distance of forty meters, but planned to go down first to check what the situation was like before making a decision.
Mo Qiuran returned to the same place in a matter of seconds, not even a microsecond.
"It's not all rock formations. There is a huge mountain cavity below. Baidi City is inside. If you open the passage and go in, there will be quite a lot of movement." Mo Qiuran said, "The signal line needs to be disconnected. , I will take Sister Tang down directly..."
"Wait... Hey, hey!" Before the old cowboy could stop him, he saw the shocking red words on the display screen... The cable is disconnected!
"This guy's movements are too fast!"
underwater.
As soon as Tang Zi closed and opened his eyes, he found that his position had changed... Hei, who could not see his fingers, and his body suddenly relaxed, and the huge water pressure disappeared.
"Sister Tang, look." Mo Qiuran, who held her hand tightly, said, "Baidicheng."
A ball of flame lit up from Mo Qiuran's hand, and then rose up. The light it emitted lit up the surrounding areas that had probably not been lit up for thousands of years.
That is……
It's hard to describe what kind of scene it was. The light from the flame in Mo Qiuran's hand lit up all directions, clearing away the darkness in the huge space, but it was far from completely lighting up the underground space!
It's unbelievably huge.
Behind them is a hard rock wall with obvious unnatural marks, and directly in front of them is a building that would shock the world if it were discovered by the outside world.
That's a wall of bronze!
The flat bronze wall stretched in front of them until it was submerged in the darkness. It looked like there was no boundary, it was infinite!
And this huge bronze wall is just part of a building... It belongs to a city, a real city made entirely of bronze!
Mo Qiuran's eyes were straightened, as if he was shocked by the magnificent creation in front of him.
Until Tang Zi heard what he said.
"This... is so big... looks so strong... I really want to take it apart..."
(I just woke up and failed the review... I sat in front of the computer without wearing any pants and finished the modification... Please be considerate and wait for the next ten thousand)
(Hmm... seven thousand, rounded up, it’s still ten thousand per day! What is a coding machine!)
