Chapter 126: Totem City(2/2)
"President?" This player was also stunned when I was caught.
"Where are the people here? What are you doing in a panic?"
The player pointed at the top. "Everyone is busy with the things you brought back. I have to get the parts. You should ask someone else for it." As he said that, the player ran away like a gust of wind.
I ran to the original ground passage, but it was beyond recognition. Originally, the only entrance to the ground in Steel City was a long stone stairway, but now it has become a large group of elevators and countless spiral ladders. Several large elevators loaded with goods on the wall in front are slowly rising. Many players are busy in and out to load things on a parked elevator. A large number of NPCs and players are running up and down like ants on the hot pan, and I don’t know what they are busy with.
Seeing everyone's appearance, I found a lift and followed it to the ground. As the surface appeared in my sight, I was completely stunned. The elevator was actually a warehouse, and the huge space was no smaller than that of the large passenger plane hangar. The room was filled with boxes of all sizes, and groups of monsters pulled flatbeds to transport some boxes outside the warehouse.
I walked out of the warehouse almost unconsciously. The scene outside was even more shocking. The desert at the top of the steel city disappeared, but there was a huge work area like a field airport. The ground paved with steel plates was extremely hard, and some strange buildings stood in various directions irregularly, which felt quite strange. Looking back at the warehouse I walked out just now, its appearance was different from that of the general warehouse. This guy seemed to be a turtle shell clasped on the ground. There were more like bunkers than warehouses.
A large group of people in the huge flat square were building the base of a building, because there was only a foundation. So I couldn't tell what was being built. Just as I was about to walk over, Woma's voice suddenly appeared behind me: "Zi Ri? Are you here so soon?"
"Woma? What are you doing here?"
"You will understand when you look over there." Woma pointed to us.
I turned my head and saw only a huge support frame and a large number of workers. The corner of the warehouse blocked most of the thing, so I had to run over to see. As soon as I left the shadow of the warehouse, I immediately saw the whole picture of the thing.
First I saw a large row of steel arches. The huge metal support frames were extremely huge, and they were all painted with yellow and black stripes, which looked quite powerful. Inside these arches, a giant arch (showing the sound of "saving") hanging was busy on the track. These arches were obviously built to support this arch.
Under the huge arch, an item that has been basically formed is undergoing final assembly. I can roughly see that this is an insect head. I am not an entomologist, and I cannot tell what kind of insect type is just based on this incomplete head.
The insect head is completely welded by metal, and its huge size is very scary. The giant head of the Great White Shark warship has a pair of mouthparts that look like big pliers in front of it, which looks very aggressive.
I suddenly remembered what this was, and looked back at Woma that had already walked up to me. "Is this the military ant fortress? Have you started building it?"
Woma smiled and said, "I started to let them build it when the people from the institute came to show me the little ant totem. The last time you cleared us at the institute, we were so busy. I really don't know why there are so many strange things in your storage space."
"I just don't like to organize things." I smiled and pointed to the huge head: "How do you design sports institutions?"
"In fact, this is exactly what we are worried about." Womao led me to walk there and explained: "The military ant fortress has no moving mechanism at all. If it is in the real world, then I think it should be just a larger sculpture. For example, the mouth like a big tong. It is completely the same as the head. Don't even think about moving it. But the ant totem you brought back insisted that as long as you create the rough appearance, it can make the thing move. We are now worried whether what this guy said is true."
"I think it should be true. After all, deceiving us is not good for itself." I asked at the big head, which is almost finished, "Did you only build one head?"
Woma pointed behind us. It turned out that it was on the back of the warehouse, but now I saw it. There are many arches supporting this place. "There are building the chest of the military ant fortress, and the one behind you is building the abdomen. The two places on the left are building ant legs, and there are already three completed legs in the warehouse over there. It won't take long for us to carry out the final assembly. I hope that the totem is the truth."
"What should I do when I assemble such a big thing? It seems that there is not enough lifting equipment nearby, right?"
"Did you forget that we have gravity resistance devices? Although those things cannot move, they can still be used for straight up and down lifting equipment. If the progress is fast enough, we will see the completed military ant fortress tonight. Whether this steel sculpture can really move will be seen tonight."
When I brought these insect legions back in the rainforest, I was the one who brought back the level 800 mission level they said, otherwise I wouldn't have helped them. These 13 races each have their own race castles, and they don't have to build complex joints. As long as they create the physical appearance, they can use magic to make these big guys move. Although I have doubts, I still believe them for the level 800 mission. Woma and I have similar views, and I am also worried about the authenticity of what they said, so I built one of them first this time. If it can really move, it's not too late to build other castles. If it can't move, it's just to think it's spending money to learn a lesson.
I didn't leave the Gang City all day today, and Rose and the others were here. After seeing them, I showed them the Sifang Zun of the Divine Soldier and told them some information about the really popular new national weapon. Of course, everyone was very happy, but now everyone's mind is focused on whether this big steel ant can move, and there is no sign of excitement.
Due to some minor problems, the construction progress was delayed a little. It was still not completed after dark. A square light driven by magic crystal was lit on the huge square. Large metal ants were quietly crawling on the ground. Groups of workers were busy connecting and adjusting outside the ants and inside the body.
This big ant is not solid, and there is a lot of space inside it. Although it has a strange appearance and low utilization rate of internal space, the final calculated effective area still reached four-fifths of the effective space area inside the Great White Shark. The whole big ant used millions of tons of steel. If it weren't for the reinforced steel ground, it would have been trapped in the sand.
It was not until dawn that the huge metal ants were finally completed. This huge guy is now crawling quietly on the ground, and his body is directly on the ground. The long legs do not support the body, but are slanted on the edges. The black metal surface is painted with some red marks by the workers, which looks quite eye-catching, but the posture really cannot show any momentum now.
Rose handed me the totem again, and they said that for the first time such an important work was of course for me to do it. Everyone pushed me through the gate of the ant's chest and entered the interior of the military ant fortress, which was similar to the inside of the Great White Shark dock. The compact room was arranged in the public area and the vine left a lot of space. Following the stairs, we climbed to the ant's head position of the military ant fortress, and the control room was on the ant's head.
Entering the control room, we took a rough look at the internal environment. This place is not so much a control room, but a hemispherical convex part on both sides of the room, which is the eyes of an ant. However, the eyes of pure steel are not transparent, and we cannot see anything through it. Even the light here is provided by our own light source.
There is a one-meter-high platform in the middle of the room. The top surface of the platform is tilted, like a console, but there is no button here, only an ant-shaped groove. The fool also knows that he must put the totem in my hand in order to activate this thing.
