258: Section 258

Influenced by this.

The second phase of the Black Armor Company has officially assembled!

Meanwhile, in the original story, the Taotie, who wreaked havoc and caused nearly half the casualties on Earth, are still lingering in the curvature channel of the Great Worm Bridge!

Su Ming silently withdrew his gaze.

Current node.

The more mysterious the angels are, the less Karl and his subordinate factions dare to act rashly.

For no other reason than that the existing data has become invalid.

Continuing to target the angels, or even Keisha, is very likely to invite inexplicable strikes and lead to a crushing defeat!

Especially after the Astral Express appeared in the world, Karl became even more well-behaved...

Just then, the simulated Keisha opened her eyes, and her main consciousness immediately came online.

"What is the situation with Alpha-4?"

"As you can see, the climate imbalance caused by the magnetic pole shift—the Astral Express's feedback indicates that this planet will face a four-million-year ice age!"

Keisha rolled her eyes. "As if I didn't know that!"

"Hmph!"

"The angels' Eye of Insight isn't blind yet!"

"I know all that. The question is, how do you intend to handle this fragile native civilization?"

Su Ming looked enlightened:

"There's no need to handle them. The rescue is because for every additional civilization in the universe, the future possibilities of the Known Universe gain another point of vitality!"

"Furthermore, the Circle of Reason has taken root here."

"Even if it's just for the harvest of sentient beings' hearts, I cannot ignore their extinction."

Upon hearing this.

Keisha breathed a sigh of relief:

"You scared me to death; I thought you were going to rule over them."

Su Ming shook his head:

"That's too much trouble. I'd have to be crazy to do that."

He didn't have such great ambition, and he scoffed at the title of cosmic hegemon.

As far as he was concerned.

Having the angels as a direct subordinate force was enough.

Any more was not only unnecessary but would also easily ruin Su Ming's current plans!

You must know, in his future plans, even the Trailblazer group were just tool-people 0.8!

"What about the geothermal furnace? Lieyang, the Super Gene Academy, and even Liang Bing can't tell, but I know that thing was something you remotely air-dropped into Akivili's secret room through the Circle of Reason!"

If it were just about saving a civilization, given Su Ming's personality, he wouldn't have bothered to pay this much attention to it!

Su Ming smiled and stated frankly:

"This? It's a bit of an experiment of mine regarding Order!"

"Coincidentally, the first geothermal furnace has successfully landed, so let's watch its performance together!"

He waved his hand, and a starlight projection immediately appeared.

On it.

In a sub-zero, ice-covered landscape, there was a basin surrounded by mountains on three sides, rich in underground river resources.

Under the operation of the Trailblazer, a 300-meter-tall, punk-style furnace drilled through the mantle, allowing geothermal energy to be successfully captured by the furnace!

"Clang!"

Chapter 298: Thirty-Six Ice-Gas Cities! The Great Sage of the Void Realm

Atop the mountain peak, Liang Bing stood alone in the cold wind.

"See that, Karl? Lieyang's Wu Zhao and Super Gene Academy's Teacher Liu have all arrived. Whoa, I almost missed the Shadow Island you secretly formed. That flashy guy in the cloak is your simulated clone, right?"

"Tsk tsk, I don't know who it was back then who kept insisting on stopping me from boarding the train."

The more Liang Bing spoke, the angrier she became, just before she couldn't help but want to curse.

Karl chimed in at the right moment:

"You know, Liang Bing, people like us shouldn't be the first to enter the fray!"

"Pfft!"

With a scoff, Liang Bing gave him no face at all and mocked:

"Order doesn't matter. I think you guys are just scared witless by that bitch Keisha!"

"Hmph!"

"You're always used to feeling inferior in front of that bitch."

"But I'm different. I am chasing freedom every single moment!"

Karl felt helpless. Here she goes again!

There's no one around!

Get a grip. No matter how passionate you are, no one is going to bow down to you.

Sighing, Karl immediately changed the subject:

"Their probing is reasonable. The angels are becoming increasingly mysterious, and the appearance of the Astral Express has only exacerbated the anxieties of all parties!"

"Liang Bing, I still stand by my point."

"Awakening the demons still needs to be postponed. At the very least, we must first figure out what the source of the angels' various recent changes really is!"

Liang Bing's face darkened:

"Call me Queen Morgana!"

"However..."

"Judging by what you're saying, you don't believe the mainstream theory?"

Karl sighed:

"No one understands archaeology better than I do. Liang... Queen Morgana, you know that in Order to verify the ultimate fear theory, Teacher Zilean and I have searched the entire universe more than once!"

"If there really were undiscovered ruins of a lost civilization, I should have found them long ago."

"So what?"

Liang Bing was very impatient, not knowing if it was because she was annoyed by the words 'ultimate fear' or simply because she found Karl unpleasant.

"Therefore, I am more inclined to believe that the angels have reached a deal with some ancient entity that has been slumbering until now."

"Hiss!"

Come to think of it, that's actually possible!

First of all.

When it comes to archaeological pioneers, Teacher Zilean and his disciple are absolutely unique in the universe.

But so far.

They have only discovered a few scattered ruins from the Pangu civilization within the Milky Way.

If not for that, the ultimate fear theory wouldn't have spread until now.

But if it were a single individual, it would be too reasonable.

A tech-god, infinite lifespan is standard equipment!

If the angels really did make contact with such an old antique, it could indeed explain the angels' increasingly mysterious current state!

"Damn it!"

"That bitch Keisha is truly damn lucky!"

"However, according to what you said..."

"Our plans really should be slowed down..."

"Phew!"

As long as she can listen!

Karl secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't notice the fleeting look of relief in Liang Bing's eyes.

"Alright, tell me, what's the deal with that thing down there?"

"That is indeed a geothermal furnace. It captures geothermal energy, converts it into electricity, and comes with the function of extracting minerals from the Earth's core!"

After a pause, Karl commented:

"The above are the results fed back by the great clock. Data shows that one such geothermal furnace is enough to ensure the normal operation of a city with a population of 800,000!"

"And there are currently a total of 36 similar geothermal furnaces landing one by one!"

Liang Bing curled her lips, asking with an ambiguous smile:

"Do you believe that?"

Karl shook his head without hesitation:

"I don't!"

After a pause, Karl continued:

"My knowledge tells me that these thirty-six geothermal furnaces generally exhibit the phenomenon of being permanently bolstered by a conceptual Order of unknown architecture!"

"Look..."

"Given the consistent style of the person behind the Astral Express, I estimate the truth will soon be made public."

Half an hour later, Karl's speculation was successfully verified.

As the thirty-six geothermal furnaces finished charging one by one, with a 'clang', almost simultaneously, all thirty-six geothermal furnaces shook in unison!

During the process, illusory light-blue lines crisscrossed and formed, then turned into a 3D construction blueprint, rapidly expanding into the surrounding area...

The refugees stranded at the scene were at a loss, but the Trailblazer were jubilant.

"Do you feel that? The surrounding temperature is rising. Clearly, the geothermal furnace comes with a constant-temperature force field!"

"Not just that, look over there!"

"Hiss! That's creating something out of thin air, right?"

"No, brother, that's high-efficiency atomic-level printing technology!"

"Uh, this..."

"Just assume the geothermal furnace has a built-in material conversion component! See this city blueprint overlapping with reality?"

"Yeah, yeah, I see it. Go on, brother."

"Heh, I'm just guessing, but let's put it this way: if the hypothesis is true, as long as there are enough corresponding resources, the geothermal furnace can print out an entire Ice-Gas City on its own!"

"Thirty-six Ice-Gas Cities... wouldn't that be able to accommodate at least thirty million people?"

"Hahaha, as expected of the Astral Express, what a grand gesture... Brother, I come from a high-level aerospace civilization, but even in my civilization, to build a geothermal furnace, we would have to exhaust the power of the entire civilization!"

Liang Bing heard the Trailblazer's conversation, and so did Karl.

But...

Their perceptions were vastly different.

"Unfathomable technical strength!"

Liang Bing's expression was grave:

"Those idiots are talking complete nonsense. There are no material conversion components in the geothermal furnace. What's causing this phenomenon is simply a strange property attached to the geothermal furnace!"
