Are there even bigger secrets hidden in the fortress?

No one can clearly say that even Carmier, who had worked in the Disobedience Fortress and had even been sealed for thousands of years with the Disobedience Fortress located in the Shadow World, did not know the whole picture of this huge plan and the huge building.

The disobedient fortresses at that time had very strict authority control and access control systems. Each area in the fortress had its own person in charge and was controlled by a fortress review team with the highest authority. Although these areas and departments jointly implemented different parts of the disobedient plan, they were actually semi-isolated from each other. Unless they were approved by the highest evaluation team and conducted a series of extremely complex inspections and "purification" procedures, personnel in each area were strictly prohibited from moving. According to Carmier's memory, it was very difficult to obtain such permission. It was basically only possible in extremely special circumstances. Ninety percent of the people in the fortress had never entered an area outside their scope of responsibility...

With such strict internal control, Gao Wen could only think of one reason: in order to prevent being infected by the power of the gods.

Now, thousands of years have passed. According to Carmier's speculation, in addition to the remaining god samples in the fortress and the fortress-related facilities, the entire fortress should have been completely evacuated, and all things related to gods will not be left. However, in some areas, less important research materials and "safety samples" should still be sealed. Gao Wen was curious if he continued to send people to explore in depth, what else could he find in that huge ancient facility.

Byron nodded, preparing to continue exploring the mission of disobedience to the fortress, but Saldrin next to him suddenly interrupted: "Wait a minute - can the mission of exploring the fortress be handed over to me and the 'Iron Ranger'?"

Gao Wen looked at Saldrin, who explained: "The combat corps is getting bigger and bigger, and there is a new round of expansion and training plans recently. As one of the commanders of the combat corps, the Byron Knight is no longer suitable for performing this exploration mission in person. It is better to hand it over to the newly established Iron Rangers - this kind of mission performed by the squad in an unknown environment is just in line with the positioning of the Iron Rangers, and I can use it to train my newcomers."

"Well...yes," Gao Wen thought for a moment and agreed with Saldrin's statement, "Then this task will be handed over to you. Byron, you can hand over the previous exploration progress and detailed information. In addition, Saldrin, you should make more preparations before departure. This task is not urgent and you can set off within a week. The southern and eastern regions that disobey the fortress are seriously abandoned, and the situation is complicated and unclear, so don't act rashly."

Facing Gao Wen's advice, Saldrin nodded seriously - although he is a high-level ranger with rich experience and powerful strength, he will not take it lightly when facing an ancient ruin with a history of a thousand years.

...

After the meeting of the Lord's Mansion, Saldrin did not return to the military district's headquarters, but came to the machinery manufacturing station located in the eastern part of the territory.

Today, the machinery manufacturing institute has been expanded and transformed several times and is no longer a simple manufacturing plant, but a large-scale facility integrating R&D, testing and manufacturing. The machinery manufacturing institute has two large laboratories and several workshops with different functions. The blueprint drawn by Gao Wen through knowledge deduction and the "simulated test site" of the Yongmian Network is the industrial products that have been gradually transformed into deeds in these laboratories and workshops, and pushed to the entire territory.

Solderin came directly to the "Craftsman Hall" of the Mechanical Manufacturing Institute - this is the heart area of ​​the entire Mechanical Manufacturing Institute. This circular hall is located in the wooden shed when the Mechanical Manufacturing Institute was first established, but its current appearance is far from what it used to be. The wide-area hall is distributed in an orderly manner, but the most eye-catching is the circular platform in the center of the hall, slightly higher than the ground. The ground is about ten meters in diameter and there is a small pit in the center. Apart from this, there is no facilities and equipment. Only many different kinds of metal ingots are piled up everywhere in the platform, and the sunlight from the patio directly above is shining on the center of the platform - it is empty.

Saldrin did not see Nicholas Egg on the "Mechanic Round Stage", but only saw many busy "Master Bachelor" nearby (the name of some Cecil people to those magic technicians who specialize in studying machines). He curiously came to a mechanical bachelor in white work clothes: "Aren't Mr. Egg?"

The mechanical master with a big beard and thick hands and feet was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Mr. Dan... Oh, do you think the director? The director has just gone out."

Saldrin frowned: "Where has he been?"

"On the Gear Square," said the Bachelor of Mechanics, a place with a very distinctive feature of the industrial area, "He must be still here in the past."

Saldrin couldn't imagine what Nicholas, who usually never leaves the machinery manufacturing institute except for dealing with metals, would always go to the crowded square to do, but he still thanked: "Is Gear Square... OK, thank you."

Then he left the machinery manufacturing site and rushed straight to the gear square.

The Gear Square is not far away. It is located opposite the Machinery Manufacturing Institute and the Steel Foundry. Between the square and several factories is a special shrub wall used to absorb noise. After passing the square, there are several main residential areas where workers in the factory and their families live. Every day, workers living in the residential area will go through the entire gear square and shrub wall to work in the factory. On weekdays, the square is also an important place for the residents of the factory to spend their time.

The shrub walls used to isolate factories and residential areas were planted and catalyzed by Pittman and his apprentices under the instruction of Gao Wen.

Saldrin came to Gear Square and immediately discovered that there might be some activities here.

There was a large open space next to the square. Now many people gathered there, and from time to time there would be cheers and shouts from the crowd. It seemed that some kind of competition was being played in the open space. Saldrin easily passed through the crowd with his skills, and then he could see the scene of fighting in the open space in a hot spot: two teams were running on the rectangular open space, with two colors of cloth tied on their heads to divide into two teams, and some kind of sphere made of animal leather was the thing they fought for. They tried hard to kick the thing around, wanting to kick it into the two rough wooden door frames on the edge of the open space.

The scene was very chaotic, and the two teams of people fighting were almost orderly and cooperated. Moreover, the person who stood by the open space and was not very clear about the rules. He spent most of the time shouting with the audience around him, but these people were still having fun and enthusiastic. The people watching around were also extremely excited and cheering. Many times they were not cheering for the goal, but just for the sudden grimace made by someone on the field or a wonderful fall.

Even though he has lived in human society for seven hundred years, Saldrin rarely sees such scenes, especially among civilians. They may gather together, may cheer for some reason, but they will never devote themselves to such a passionate movement. The reason is very simple: how can civilians and even untouchables who cannot even eat enough to eat, waste their precious physical strength on this movement?

What's more, it's still the cold spring season, and physical strength is particularly valuable.

Saldrin looked at the movement in the open space with a daze, and relevant information slowly emerged in his mind: This... seems to be called football. An old friend invented something not long ago, and after the promotion, it was soon welcomed by the people in the territory...

To be fair, Saldrin prefers several chess and card games invented by his old friends, but he can still feel some inexplicable attraction from the seemingly brutal and rough sports in front of him. This kind of sports... Perhaps the energetic dwarves on the west side of the mainland will be very interested.

At this moment, a bright metal reflection in the crowd interrupted the high-level ranger's thoughts. He raised his eyes and finally found his real goal here - Nicholas egg was floating in the crowd, and the huge and shiny smile in the sun was clearly visible no matter how far away.

After a period of adaptation, the citizens of Cecil's leadership seemed to have completely adapted to this strange-looking "craftsman master". In fact, they have even adapted to the sparks and lightning all the way. The only thing they are not very adapted to is the Siren Miss who walks very well - after all, Tyre goes out too limitedly.

Saldrin quickly walked through the crowd and greeted Nicholas Egg (after all, the cheers around were too noisy): "Mr. Egg, Mr. Egg!"

After shouting several times, Nicholas egg swayed as if he had woken up from a big dream. Then the metal giant ball turned slowly and a buzzing sound came from the ball: "Mom... it's so exciting..."

"Mr. Egg, what's so exciting?" Saldrin asked loudly, "By the way, can we find a quieter place? I have something to ask you..."

"Okay, okay, leave here..." Nicholas egg made a buzzing sound, but his body was obviously not very stable. "You...you help me a little while I'm feeling..."

Saldrin looked at Nicholas's egg's round and balmy body, with a confused face - where can I support this tm?

Fortunately, Nicholas Egg himself did not investigate the details. After Saldrin put his hand on him with a strange expression, he followed the high-level ranger to leave the crowd.

After waiting outside the crowd, the Iron Ball Star Man's condition improved a little, and then he sighed again: "Mom...it's so exciting..."

Saldrin turned his head and looked at the other person: "So what's so exciting?"

"Twenty-two people rushed to kick a ball - sometimes the referees kicked it up, it's too exciting..." Nicholas Egg's tone had a sense of fear, "So football is so cruel..."

Even with the knowledge and breadth of thinking accumulated by Saldrin's seven hundred years of travel, he also reacted for a long time to guess what Mr. Dan meant. The expression of this high-level ranger was unprecedentedly strange: "You...you should feel like we are watching killing people in the street, right?"

"It's more serious than that - you don't kill people in the street, but you don't have more than twenty people killing each one..."

Saldrin's eyes trembled: "I understand your feelings... Then you are still visiting football specifically. Are you looking for excitement?"

"No!" Nicholas Egg's tone was almost crazy. "I just heard that a ball sport is popular in the territory. I thought it was prepared for me. I just wanted to come here to sign up - fortunately I didn't! They don't lack people at all, but almost every team lacks ball..."

The corners of Saldrin's eyes were shaking more and more severely. He looked at Nicholas egg up and down, thinking that the other party didn't have to be so nervous at all. With his size and real weight, he might be able to kick the game if he runs on the field...

But considering the huge stimulation this iron ball star had just been received, Saldrin was still embarrassed to say what she said, but quickly changed the subject: "Actually, I came to you for some reason, please."

"Ah...ah, please let me know if you have something to do?" Nicholas Egg reacted, "What's the matter?"

"You should already know that I am forming the "Iron Ranger", and the lord also gave me a task to design or improve new magic weapons based on the Ranger's combat experience," Saldrin said the seriousness and expression became serious. "I just had a few 'orders' to ask you to help design and design."

"Oh? Can you design magic weapons too?" Speaking of his profession, Nicholas Egg immediately became energetic. The previous mental trauma seemed to heal instantly. "Do you have a concept map or a target demand table?"
