Chapter 1277 empty body
It is impossible for the Tifeng people to be excluded from the various achievements achieved by the "Gate Plan". This not only includes the exploration of the Kingdom of God itself, but also various unexpected discoveries during the exploration process. As one of the initiators of the project and one of the main leaders of the alliance, Gao Wen certainly has no intention of kicking his allies away in this situation.
But now he suspected that the origin of the "steel land" might be related to the sailor, and might even be able to be related to his original nature in space, so he couldn't help but worry - he was worried that this exploration journey would have unpredictable situations, and all this might not be suitable for display to a stranger.
Although Melita Pernia is not a "person" of the Cecil Empire, she is at least a well-known friend in terms of personal relationships and has some understanding of the matter of the Descendant. The situation of Windsor Mapel is different. Gao Wen knows nothing about this scholar of Tifeng - he doesn't know what uncontrollable reaction this lady would have if she showed too many special features on the steel land or activated some Descendant technologies.
Daniel, who had never spoken much, stood up at this moment.
"I'll go," the old mage glanced at his former apprentice, "You are a scholar-type mage who is used to researching in a stable environment and cannot handle exploration actions that require adaptability and experience. It has nothing to do with how strong your personal strength you have. I still have some adventures after leaving the Royal Mage Society."
He paused and looked at his other apprentice: "And I can bring Mary with me."
Windsor Mapel looked at his mentor a little surprised, with a little hesitation on his face until Daniel added inadvertently: "There is a top technical official who can take charge of the overall situation outside the 'door'."
"Yes, your suggestion makes sense, I understand," Windsor immediately reacted and nodded to his mentor solemnly, "Then I will take the technical supervisors outside to respond, you must be careful."
Daniel nodded slightly, while Gowen just stood by one side with expressionless face, while on the other side, Melita Pernia was handing the two young dragons to Noreta.
"You stay here with two little guys - there is no need to let Meli and Norey take risks if you have nothing to do with the Deep Blue Rift," she said to her friend very seriously. "If everything goes well, we will be back in two days."
"Take good care for yourself, protect yourself, and adapt to the situation." As a dragon who has experienced the coming-of-age ceremony together, Noreta has no nonsense at the moment, but just reminds his friends to pay attention to safety. "Tao Wen's opinion is the main focus - he has a lot of connection with the Settlement's legacy."
"Don't worry, I know - I have a 'heart-to-heart relationship' with him." Melita laughed, reached out and pressed the two young dragons who were looking at her curiously, and then rubbed Noreta's long snow-like hair hard. Before the latter got angry, he quickly ran to the side. A gorgeous light curtain fell from the sky. Under the light curtain, the slender female figure began to quickly change to the dragon form.
In the sea of sand and dust in the distance, huge steel giants were still carrying a stunning momentum and constantly moving towards the border of the Kingdom of God. The layers of silver-white alloy armor and the glimmer lines on the edge of the armor belt were becoming more and more clearly visible in the dark. The sea of clouds was undulating, and the quicksand was carried up by the edge of the steel land and slipped like a waterfall. A low roar sound came from far away. The roar was not loud, but it made people feel the huge energy contained in the depths of the "steel land", which made people who heard it for the first time frightened.
A vague feeling suddenly surged from Gao Wen's heart. He subconsciously looked at the steel giant that was gradually approaching the closest point. In the huge oppressive force that was coming, what he saw was the countless light flowing inside the giant giant and some unexplained illusory projections - this feeling was very similar to when he came into contact with the tower of tide-reverse tides.
This thing is indeed the legacy left by the setter, and... it is also "alive", just like the Sky Station or the Tower of Tide Against the Tide.
Heavy footsteps came from behind, and Melita, in the form of a dragon, walked to the fragmented edge of the Kingdom of God. She lowered her head and stared at the tiny "passengers" under her feet with a huge eye that condensed the magical light. Her voice rumbling: "I'm ready, come up."
The people who were scheduled to go to the "Iron Land" to carry out the exploration mission immediately stepped forward, and Gao Wen's eyes swept across the entire exploration team (including Melita as a flight vehicle), and his heart gradually calmed down.
Follower, bad-legged, best friend, brainless fan, senior 25-year-old, intern 25-year-old - the team is very reassuring.
The dragon soared into the air and rushed out of the border of the Kingdom of God with a fierce airflow and a bumpy rush. The people who stayed in the Kingdom of God looked up at the direction where the dragon left, silently looking forward to the safety and smoothness of this action in their hearts.
"I hope that legendary Gowan Cecil can solve this mystery," said Windsor Mapel softly. "The further we go, the more unknown things we see in front of us..."
"The essence of exploration and research is to clarify the boundaries of ignorance and make one more aware of the vastness of the world," Noreta's eyes always follow Melita's figure, but responded to Windsor's sigh. The two young dragons held her thighs with their front paws, and the other tried to hang themselves on her shoulders. "The stupid and shallow people are the most unconfused, because they have never been exposed to things outside their cognition in their lives, and there has never been anything that can make them doubt and think. Only explorers who are ahead will always be with confusion because they deal with the boundaries of civilization every day."
As a profound scholar, Windsor Mapel certainly knew this truth, so she just smiled slightly and looked back in the distance. In a corner of her vision, a fragmented platform decorated with swords and shields on a high platform decorated with swords and shields, Malm Dunit's figure emerged from afar, looking into the direction of the end of the sea of clouds.
This "ghost" who has already coexisted with the Kingdom of God does not always appear in front of people. Most of the time he wanders around other parts of the Kingdom of God, as if he is maintaining and patrolling this quiet "City of Gods". He will not disturb the activities of the explorers here, nor will he actively communicate with those who enter here. However, when the explorers do something that can arouse their interest, he will still appear silently and watch from a distance quietly like this.
What is he looking at? Is he looking at a world that is already unfamiliar to him? Or is he just taking his "Lord" and watching where these mortals who broke into the Kingdom of God will go?
That was not what the explorers were concerned about. Windsor Mapel just glanced at the former Pope, nodded slightly to him, and then withdrew his gaze.
...
The spectacular but unsettling sea of border clouds surging under the dragon and gradually retreated. The "steel land" with silver-white armor and complex structure gradually expanded in view. Amber and Modir both widened their eyes and stared at the destination that was approaching in the distance. Gao Wen patted the scales under his body and asked Melita: "Are you okay? The bumps were very strong when they took off just now-I almost thought you were going to fall."
"I am not very adaptable to the lack of magic in the environment of the God of War," Melita's voice came, "When taking off, you can only use your own magic to fly, and you have to leave the Kingdom of God to fly in the normal way - this process seems to require practice."
"So that's it." Gao Wen nodded, and after knowing the reason, he felt relieved.
The flight of dragons does not conform to "aerodynamics" and does not rely entirely on agitation of wings to lift up the airflow. This is a fact that real "dragonists" are gradually understanding today - these huge creatures must use the airflow and "ripples of magic" at the same time to make themselves fly. The lift provided by flapping their wings is far from enough. The edges of their wings have a complex innate rune structure, so their flight process is essentially a "spoke casting process".
"It seems that the special environment of the God of War Kingdom is also particularly unfriendly to you," Kamier, who was standing beside him, also understood the secret of the dragon's flight. At this time, he said with emotion, "You may not be able to fly for a long time here."
"In fact, it's very tiring to even glide," Melita said helplessly, "but fortunately, everything will return to normal after leaving that place - well, everyone sit firmly and support us, and we're about to land!"
The explorers on the dragon's back immediately tensed their nerves. The next second, they noticed that they passed through a thin transparent energy barrier covering the steel ground. The feeling of passing through the cold curtain was fleeting. After a moment, the dragon's huge body fell on a relatively flat and open metal platform with a small impact.
The air defense firepower that did not trigger any automatic counterattack, nor did the hostile mechanical garrison troops emerge - just like when the Explorer Puppet landed, the bad situation did not happen.
Daniel was the first to get up and used the floating technique to fall on the platform - he deliberately did not communicate too much with Gao Wen. Although Amber and Victoria here are both people who know the inside story, Modir and Melita did not know about the "Contact No. 25", so at least on the surface, he still had to maintain his identity as "technical representative of Tifeng".
The explorers left the dragon's back one by one. Gao Wen was walking at the end. When he was about to step onto the ground, he couldn't help but look back at My little pony who was leaning down and hanging his wings to the side, and said casually: "You're landing very smoothly this time - I'm ready to roll on the ground for a while."
"I'm not always going wrong!" Melita shouted dissatisfiedly when she heard this, "I just look a little bad - I won't be able to aim for such a big place! And I apologized to you when I fell into the sea last time..."
Then there were a bunch of words such as "limited speed reduction", "safe-avoiding flight", "the dragon clan's forced landing cannot be called a crash" and other words. The platform was soon filled with happy air.
But this happy air did not relax the explorers' vigilance, nor did it reduce everyone's observation ability.
Gao Wen raised his head and saw a translucent energy barrier clearly visible in his field of view, blocking the sea of sand and dust and clouds surging outside. Within the range of view, there are silver-white or silver-gray steel decks extending to the distance, as well as some buildings-like facilities fixed to the deck.
Yes, he used the word "deck" to call this so-called "steel land".
He believed that this thing was a ship, a spacecraft cruising according to the scheduled procedures in the realm of God.
This place is not silent. The buzzing or trembling sounds made by some ancient mechanical devices are always coming from certain directions. These sounds make the intruders realize that something deep in the "earth" under their feet is still surging. Various lights can be seen everywhere on the upper deck. These large and small lights create many dividing lines between the deck facilities. Gao Wen raised his head and looked at the end of the straight metal road in front of him. He saw that the distance was still shrouded in chaos, and some rising light burned quietly in the depths of the darkness - as if the light and shadow generated by the tail flame of some propulsion device.
Amber stretched his neck and looked around, recalling the scene he had just seen on the dragon's back, while whispering to Gao Wen: "Hey, do you think this thing is bigger than our '115 Project'?"
Project 115, the largest war weapon manufacturing plan of the Cecil Empire, is the main body of an aerospace fortress being assembled at the foot of the dark mountains. Its assembly has entered the second half, and although it has not been completed, its scale is already considerable.
That was the largest artificial "installation" Amber could think of.
But even Project No. 115 seems to be difficult to compare with the thing in front of you...even if they only need to compare size.
"This thing is larger in scale, and may even be larger than the scale of the Temple of Stars," Gao Wen said in a deep voice. "This is not something that our current technology can create... Whether it is inside or outside, it exceeds the technological limits of today's era."
"Will this... be left by the setter?" Melita, who had turned into a human form, swallowed with a hint of nervousness on her face, "I feel that her style is a bit..."
Gao Wen did not wait for Miss Lan Long to finish saying: "Yes, this is the legacy of the setter."
Melita opened her mouth, as if she wanted to sigh, but she didn't say it out loud. The others next to her also tightened their faces and focused on this "Ancient Legacy" that was extremely strange and unknown to mortals.
Gao Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. He communicated with the satellite body located in space in the material world and the main system of the Sky Station. After confirming that the connection is normal, he began to try to establish a certain connection with the "giant ship" under his feet that was cruised independently under some automatic program control according to the experience he had accumulated in the Tower of Tide Against Tide.
In fact, he didn't know how to establish a connection, or even whether this thing could respond to himself, but generally speaking... as long as it is the legacy of the setter, there will definitely be some resonance between each other. Even if the authority is restricted, he should receive some feedback when contacting him.
However, he didn't "heard" anything. When he tried to explore his spiritual power into the giant steel ship under his feet, all he could sense was nothingness - this was a cold shell, just running blindly according to the most primitive program settings, just like the simple machines created by mortals in this era... It did not have a "control system" that could respond to the identification signal of the set sailor.
