Chapter 887

If you want to develop the infrastructure of the territory, as long as you can collect a steady stream of resources, you have enough time to build.

It only took a little over two months for the little Hope Village to develop to the current size of the town.

And these are just the results of the development of only a thousand people in the village.

Now that the number of people has soared to 10,000, the speed of development is bound to increase.

The only thing missing are more resources, and... time!

"Now that we have found the location, let's gather our hands, and we will set off to open this ruin tonight."

Su Mo gave orders, and Pei Shao left as well, both of them seemed a little impatient.

Of course, it's not surprising that it behaves like this.

In fact, this is the first time I have found the location of the ruins since I came back and searched for more than ten days.

Su Mo originally thought that the location information of the underground ruins he got from the ruins was detailed enough.

There are not only various reference objects, but also the distance in meters from the reference objects.

It's not a problem to find some and dig some before the next disaster strikes.

But actually.

A third-level Yan Kingdom ruins that store a large number of construction machinery.

According to the collected information, there is a hill next to the ruins, and there is a crooked neck tree on the top of the hill.

Walk 800 meters in the direction of the crooked neck tree and dig underground, and you can dig about 20 meters to the entrance of the ruins.

And even if you can't find this crooked neck tree, it's not a big problem, there is a stream on the other side of the ruins.

Follow the most turbulent part of the stream to the south for about 1,500 meters, and you can also locate the specific location of this ruin.

With such a detailed positioning method, Su Mo thought that he could drive it with a certain degree of certainty.

But now let alone the crooked neck tree, even the barren mountain is gone.

As for the creeks, it is a fantasy. Who can see where streams will be formed in the future when the land is covered with ice and snow.

Another level 4 East Pole civilization relic excavated by Tianyuan Territory itself contains many pharmaceutical preparation facilities.

The location of this ruin was not positioned using landmarks, but the most accurate coordinate method that was almost impossible to make mistakes.

But the facts are still cruel. The exploration team followed the coordinates and dug three feet, even digging a lot beside it.

The entrance to the ruins that was supposed to appear was as if it had disappeared, still without a trace.

"Only based on the current discovery, it is not enough to assert that the ruins came from the game, and they are not always fixed under the ground of the New World. More places must be explored..."

Su Mo thought secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but feel a headache for the plan he had made before.

In the past few days since he came back, he has not formally held an overall planning meeting on the future development of the territory, in order to open up the nearby ruins before the disaster strikes.

At that time, based on the excavated things, the development direction of the Tianyuan Territory in the second half of the year will be formulated.

It's a pity that people's calculations are not as good as heaven's calculations. Now all the ruins have disappeared, and all plans have been disrupted.

If it wasn't for the discovery of this ruin, it would be a headache if the disaster forecast came two days later.

"Moore, come with me"

"Keep the Oreos for housekeeping."

Put on the equipment, go up to the second floor, one person and one bear go to the ground.

...

Six o'clock at night.

The expedition team organized by more than a hundred masters filed out along the west side of Tianyuan Territory, and their figures disappeared into the darkness.

Su Mo personally led the team, and all the people entered the Demon Soul Clan's territory carelessly, crossed it, and headed for the location of the adventurer's ruins.

Bright Empire.

The scattered Western-style pointed cone houses are located on a snow-covered land, like a kingdom of ice and snow.

Black and gray intertwined bricks and tiles, metal-style decorations, various remodelers walking back and forth on the road making bang bang noises, and a pregnant woman with a belly sitting on a mechanical carriage.

This is Patirojo, the center of the territory of the Bright Empire, and it was also the top ten super gathering place in the territory during the previous disaster relief.

The imperial scouts in charge of patrolling, whose eyes have been transformed into metal prosthetic eyes with night vision capabilities, are standing on the high wall at the outermost edge of the city, scanning the surrounding area.

The city was noisy and noisy, and groups of soldiers who had remodeled their heavy armor walked by to maintain order.

As far as the current strength is concerned, the Guangming Empire can undoubtedly be ranked in the top five.

This transformation method that combines guns and machinery makes them invincible at the current stage.

Even if the price is high, many passing human caravans will choose to settle here.

The reason is to try my luck in this city that never sleeps, to see if I can get a chance to transform myself.

At this time, the sky was almost dawn, and a faint halo rose from the sky.

A few strange birds fluttered up from the ground and landed on the city wall to comb their feathers.

Under the surveillance of the scouts on the city wall, a team of hundreds of people came galloping on sleds not far from the ground.

The first person was making a strange gesture, as if he was conveying some information.

"It seems to be a human team?"

"The human team actually understands the friendly gestures of our empire?"

"It's amazing, it's amazing"

"Cha Cha Wu, go respond to him and see if he can make other gestures."

The scouts who saw the gesture were a little curious, and the team leader pointed one of them to the front to make the same gesture in response.

But it's a pity that the human being doesn't seem to understand other gestures for communication in the empire except for this gesture.

"They seem to be going into town?"

The two sides communicated for a while, and the sled team was getting closer and closer to the city gate.

Chachawu lowered his arms, turned his head in doubt and said.

"Let them in, they should be people who have been here before, so don't make a fuss." The team leader coughed lightly and gave instructions.

If the other party knows other gestures in the empire, then maybe they have to go forward and ask the other party where he learned it from and how many times he has been to Patirojo.

Or if the other party doesn't know anything and comes over in a rampage, then they have to question the other party's purpose and identity.

In the current situation, both sides are very relaxed, saving a lot of trouble.

Soon, the sled team had reached the city gate, and no cyborg soldiers came up to stop them.

"Boss, their defenses are really lax. If we carry bombs, wouldn't they be thrown by him?" While dragging the sled, Pei Shao peeked around the city wall.

"Yup?" Su Mo was stunned and then laughed.

"Don't look at the weak defense of Patirojo. In fact, you are being targeted by at least a dozen high-power assault guns now, believe it or not?"

"Aiming? How is this possible? I didn't see anyone aiming at it?" Pei Shao's peeking frequency increased, and he was puzzled after scanning back and forth.

Although the location of the adventurer's relic is more than 300 kilometers away from Patirojo in a straight line, it is not within the territory of the Guangming Empire, but if you want to excavate the relic, you have to come here to buy some handy tools.

Everyone stayed in the territory and failed to collect much information about the Guangming Empire. Naturally, Pei Shao didn't think that his director had traveled thousands of miles to the mountains to know much information.

"If you don't believe me, well, look at the raised bricks in the fourth quarter in the direction of 25 in your upper right corner."

"Let me see."

Pei Shao raised his head, pretending to move his neck, but actually looked directly at the position where Su Mo dictated.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, you will be shocked when you see it.

Sure enough, on the wall made up of pale silver bricks, the raised bricks in the fourth section turned light black.

At the same time, a strong sense of threat also flowed out from the light black, making one's hair stand on end.

"Although the Bright Empire has skewed the technology tree for upward development, this does not mean that they are not strong. At least for a long time to come, their combat level will be significantly higher than other alien races."

"They put most of their research into real-time combat, which is related to their previous existence and their mission. In short, you can think of them as having 120% of our human combat strategies and 150% of our tactics. Accomplishment, 200% combat performance of the super high-level special operations team to treat." Su Mo said with a little emotion.

Even if the Bright Empire in the ruins never received any support from the Outer Gods, it didn't fall on the frontal battlefield.

At that time, relying on the number of more than 100,000 transformed people, plus the hundreds of thousands of their subsequent transformations to transform alien races.

Even if humans gathered an army of five million and fought several tough battles, they still failed to gain any advantage.

On the contrary, they were forced by the various special warfare methods they used to constantly withdraw their defenses and throw away their armor.

That is to say, after the completion of the missile system construction and the ability to strike beyond visual range, it was only then that the logistics transformation and repair points of the Guangming Empire were pulled out and destroyed one by one, and the opportunity for victory was obtained.

Now that the other party can still get the support of the foreign gods, Su Mo no longer dares to think about how much it will cost to take down the Bright Empire.

For at least the next two years, it is necessary to maintain distance and friendship with this "neighbor" who still has some relationship with humans.

Not long after, I took off all the sleds and put them away, and assigned some people to wait not far outside the city.

Su Mo led a dozen people into the city and went straight to the only alchemy workshop in the city that sold items to the outside world.

This is a church-like building with only a small door below to enter, and there is no signboard.

It was around the end of the second year of the wasteland that humans discovered for the first time that there is something special inside after entering here.

It sells some weapons and equipment that were eliminated or replaced by the Guangming Empire internally and externally.

Open the door and enter, there is a pungent smell of engine oil, and there are many dark handprints on the wall.

In the hazy light, a dirty old man with a hunched back and a metal neck, messy hair and beard, and a gray fur coat was sitting behind the table smoking inferior tobacco.

His left hand was placed on the table, transformed into a large mechanical claw, which was slightly opened and closed.

"Hello, I need six pairs of digging magic hands, two geosphere beads, and a smoke bomb if possible."

"Huh? There are still humans who know me?" The old man's yellow eyes lit up from the smoke, reading up and down like a scanner.

"Of course I know, dear Mr. Pepys Mitchell." Somo said in a deep voice.

"Sir?" The old man laughed, baring his yellow teeth, "It's been a long time since anyone would call me Mr. Young human, you are very polite."

"You need these things. If I'm not wrong, you want to dig the ruins?"

"Remains, what do you mean?" Su Mo was puzzled, but his face remained calm.

The information collected only said that the old man was not bad, and that he had to be respected enough to buy something.

As for the others, he had to react on the spot.

"The digging magic hand can quickly dig the ground, the earth beads can detect the metal reaction in the ground to determine the approximate shape, and the smoke bomb can absorb all harmful poisonous gases. You won't tell me to take these three together to build a house? "The old man replied.

"I don't have the complete finished product you want here, only some damaged ruins excavated by others and repaired by me.

If you want to... ahem..."

"What price do I need to pay to buy it?" Sumo asked directly.

Gold coins and precious metals are commonly used in the Guangming Empire. Before he came, he almost emptied the entire small treasury of the territory. It must be enough to buy some handicapped items.

"The price is not a problem. I have detected a strange high-energy metal reaction in you and the person you brought, if you can bring it to me..." The old man's yellow-haired eyes became brighter, and the frequency of the sweeping It is also accelerating.

Following his line of sight, Su Mo turned his head to look back, and his eyes stopped on Pei Shao's flashlight powered by energy stones hanging on his waist.

"You need it?" Su Mo frowned.

"I don't need a lot, as long as you can give me some research, I will give you all the tools you need, and I can tell you some information about the ruins along the way."

"Deal." Signaling Pei Shao to pick up the flashlight, Su Mo snapped out the thumb-sized power stone behind him, and agreed quickly.

The secret of the kf power stone has been spread in the ruins for many years, but I have never seen any foreign race that can crack it and use it.

Not to mention that this bad old man wants to study it, even if the entire Guangming Empire is piled up and studied, it may not be possible to study it.

"Excellent!" Flying Claw took the fragments of Power Stone thrown over, and Pepys grinned and jumped off the counter.

After a while, he took out six pairs of arm-long digging hands and three metal balls the size of palms.

"Young humans, although I don't know where you found the ruins, but I have to remind you that the ruins buried under this land are not only left by you humans. In the past full of disasters, there are also countless people who came here The alien races left their tribal vestiges."

"They didn't die, but slept in these ruins, waiting for the gate to be opened again and return to heaven."

"They don't need to follow the process, they are just suppressed by the controllers of this world from the possibility of self-recovery."

"They are the real outcasts."

"The more you find and open the ruins, the more the world controller will let you get closer to these restraining ruins, hehehehe..."

Old Man Pepys smiled strangely, as if he knew more.

But after he stopped talking, Su Mo came back to his senses, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.
