Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 716 Desperate 'Accomplice'

The long gray-red steel wall extends straight downwards, and the embedded light strips illuminate the giant passage layer by layer, dozens of layers, nearly a hundred layers, and even thousands of layers. The long passage is like a repeating spiral with no end in sight.

Here, containers loaded with various heavy materials are fixed on rails. Driven by electromagnetics, they speed forward and whiz back and forth endlessly. Above the tracks, cameras, under the control of the central AI, monitor the operation of the entire channel at all times.

Thousands of meters underground, this place has been transformed into a busy factory. Tens of thousands of autonomous units, each performing their own duties, continuously unload various goods from the tracks and transport them to designated locations. There are also extended robotic arms that assemble these large modules. The precision equipment, about 200 meters high, slowly embeds itself into the surrounding interfaces, and then makes crisp sounds in this empty underground.

'Emerald Dragon-B109'

The large steel wall of the underground space is engraved with clear words by laser, and there is a silhouette of a flying dragon on one side. Behind this wall, there are two "Peace Messenger-A1" type sixth-level mechas quietly placed. They are the backbone security force of this factory. The various weapons they use are specially customized and can fight at full strength without causing damage to the structure of the underground space.

In every corner of the factory, technicians dressed in light green and white hold terminals and testing instruments, monitoring the construction process here, and then checking and verifying whether it is qualified. There are probably more than 1000 of them, and this is just this single large workshop. The entire underground base has about 6000 technicians and 4000 auxiliary personnel of various types, a total of more than .

In addition, in the entire underground space, from time to time, you can see people patrolling in special silver-white windbreakers, wearing circular goggles, and with lightsabers and guns on their waists. Behind them is a white logo of a moon surrounded by three pairs of prismatic wings, indicating that they belong to the "Silver Wing" guard, which is responsible for monitoring the space here and preventing spies, hackers, and thieves from sneaking in and causing damage.

There are nearly 200 such complete underground factories in Feicuiqun, of which about 120 are currently in operation, and it is expected that 300 similar factories will be built in the second batch.

The stairs sticking out from the gray steel wall are as inconspicuous as tiny black ants. At this moment, Tilan, wearing a gray hooded cloak, stands on the stairs, looking at the towering structure being installed not far away. Because it has not been encapsulated yet, one can see the densely packed and extremely delicate parts and circuits, as well as various equipment inside this hundreds of meters high structure, like an extremely complex maze.

She then moved her gaze to the floating autonomous units that were constantly flying back and forth inside. They extended their slender robotic arms, welded and riveted the entire structure, and completed the final laying and packaging.

On the ground, more than 2000 red and black automatic trailers transported various parts boxes to designated locations for opening. Then, many autonomous units grabbed them and sent them to the locations where they needed to be installed. The whole process was orderly, and the various units in the seemingly chaotic situation cooperated with each other without any collision.

"In two days, this underground factory will be fully built and can then produce the main equipment needed for the dragon vein system." The accompanying staff introduced to Tilan.

"Yeah." After visiting here, Tilan nodded slightly.

Since the establishment of the 'Emerald Dragon' organization, within three months, about 3 million technical backbones have been mobilized from various star fields to join the Dragon Vein Plan. After three years when the technology is proven to be mature, this number will exceed 100 million, and similar factories are planned to be built in 3000 star fields to expand production. According to estimates, the final implementation of the Dragon Vein construction project in the entire southern star region will require the participation of about 14 billion people, which accounts for about 80% of the total population of the entire southern star region. It includes many links and industrial chains such as industrial manufacturing, commissioning and installation, security protection, operation and maintenance, and emergency response. If we also take into account the food, clothing, housing, transportation, entertainment consumption, medical education, etc. of these personnel, the number of people involved will increase several times.

Everything is starting to get on track. All she needs now is to wait patiently. In Tilan's opinion, seemingly heroic and hasty violent means often bring many side effects and consequences, while real change, like a slowly rising tide, will flatten and crush the stale world in a gradual and unstoppable manner.

What she seeks is not only the prosperity of the Rose Federation for the next few hundred years, but also hopes to use this as a stepping stone to gradually integrate the power of the entire civilization, constantly explore new possibilities, and break away from the muddy cycle of the past.

It’s just that the latter is still too far away from now, and many people find it difficult to understand and believe it. There are not many people with foresight. In fact, as technology becomes more and more advanced, it will become more and more difficult to see this complex and diverse world. And if you want to transcend the current era and see what the world will look like decades later, it requires a vision and imagination that transcends genius.

Releasing her fingers, Tilan turned around, walked down the steel stairs, and entered the inner passage.

"Now, let's go to the next location."

"Yes, Lord Tilan." One by one, the members dressed in silver-gray windbreakers followed closely and walked into the passage inside the wall.

----

Cuiyue Star Region, the planet where 'Cuiyu Huaguan' lives.

Different from the "Harp Crown" that is everywhere in the academy, the scenery inside the Green Rain Crown is beautiful. It is a planet where many nobles in the Federation settle. It is also the headquarters of many organizations, and many discussions and meetings are held here.

Under the quiet shade of tall trees, a small boat glides calmly on the water. The lake here reflects the sky and tree shadows, like colorful and beautiful emerald amber.

Some leaves fluttered on the water surface, and occasionally a bird flew over the water and pecked at the small fish in the water. The process was peaceful and natural.

Going down through the clear lake water, more than ten meters underwater, the huge banquet hall separated by a transparent dome is now brightly lit. Beautiful waiters are walking around, serving the distinguished guests who have come here for the gathering.

Next to this underwater building that looks like a large water lily are several connected ancillary buildings, which are arranged in an orderly manner on the bottom of the lake, like carefully embellished underwater gems.

At this moment, in one of the small flower bud buildings, logistics service personnel in different clothes were rushing back and forth. They were busy preparing various delicious dishes, and there were also many drinks and beverages ordered by the guests. In a small room beside the passage, two middle-aged men were quickly changing their makeup in front of the mirror. They looked to be in their forties or fifties a few minutes ago, but soon with the help of various magical props, they became like young men in their 20s.

"I haven't used this technique for almost 20 years, and today I'm a little rusty about it." The dark-haired man applied a special foundation under his eyes to finish his makeup, making his skin color gradually closer to his neck and hands so as not to be too abrupt.

"Prince, you are really old. Now you can only dress as a young man of twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. If you are younger, you can't hide it from those high-level extraordinary people." The man next to him complained while doing the same thing.

"I remember that was our fourth collaboration. You dressed up as a cool 4-year-old magician and charmed countless young ladies at the banquet. I was so envious at the time. I'm afraid you can't return to that state now." The two talked about the past.

"You have no right to criticize me. And who was the unlucky guy who gave you the name 'Adam Amy'?" After taking care of the problems with his face and hands, the black-haired man began to pack up the various items in front of him.

"This is not some unlucky guy. This is the pseudonym I use within this organization. I have been using it for sixteen years."

"Sixteen years can do a lot. What surprises me is that you haven't figured out their background in sixteen years?" Prince believed that his companion was once a top agency agent who had handled countless shocking cases, so infiltrating an organization in the gray area was no problem at all.

After the makeup was done, the man looked at the handsome young man in his early twenties in the mirror, straightened his chestnut short hair, and then replied: "You know, there are many extraordinary abilities in this world that cannot be concealed by simple technical means." "I have told you before that this church is extremely well organized, far surpassing other underground dark forces. In order to keep it secret, they don't even use electronic networks to communicate and store information."

"For 16 years, I wanted to find out the truth about the test tube. I followed the clues and came into contact with them. After that, I spent a lot of energy and time before I reluctantly joined them and became an external member."

"This is not a simple church. Their top leaders have the ability to read minds like a singing girl. Lies are useless in front of them. Moreover, this church is extremely good at psychological research. There are many hypnotists and professionals in the church. Their core members are all trained by themselves since childhood, and they do not recruit external personnel for promotion."

"In these sixteen years, I have been in dangerous situations several times and was almost seen through by the members. Later, I was able to get through with the help of some 'treasures' left behind by the past."

"Now I can't make any more rash attempts, so I need your cooperation."

"According to my inference, even if the elites of the Inquisition come, it will be difficult to find the true core of this mysterious organization."

"Their core members are extremely devout, and even have a spirit of self-sacrifice. They are not the kind of fanatics who are blinded by thoughts, but are extremely rational. If science is a religion, they are probably members of a sect."

"Why do you think such an organization is the culprit for the destruction of civilization? How can they have such great power and lead the world to the destruction you mentioned?" Prince had finished organizing his thoughts at this time.

"There are too complicated things to explain." The man next to him sighed.

"It is like a butterfly gently flapping its wings upstream of time, bringing a terrifying storm downstream."

"They are an organization with great determination. They can spend the energy and time of several generations for a goal, and the subsequent successors will not forget the mission left by their predecessors and will continue to devote themselves to it."

"This makes their actions like the undercurrent at the deepest point underwater, guiding the world to change slowly and patiently."

"If you still don't understand, let me explain."

“If you know a girl will become a singer in the future and you want her to work for you, the best way is not to bribe or force her after she becomes famous, but to use various visible and invisible events when she is young to gradually move her thoughts and opinions in the direction you expect. In this way, even if you never have any contact with her again after she grows up, the influence will still exist, and without any push, you can make her eventually work for your goal and achieve your expectations.”

"Tsk tsk, this method is inexplicably to my taste. It's a pity that I'm only one person and can't accomplish such a large layout and influence."

"So, they have controlled a certain singer? This should be quite difficult, because before a singer awakens, no one knows that she has a talent. Once awakened, she will be surrounded by the eyes and patrol officers of the Inquisition. Those guys are the safety plugs specially left by Aimura Lin to protect the safety of the singers."

"Yes, it is difficult to control the songstress, but it is much easier to influence certain established high-ranking personnel."

“Children of politician fathers tend to follow a similar path, as long as they influence their children.”

"Also, after the singers become famous and adults, do you think they will stay at the bottom and live with ordinary people?"

"Basically not. They will inevitably come into contact with the heirs of various large groups or politically prominent families. Although this is not a first-hand influence, people are like this. If they spend a long time with a certain group, they will easily be assimilated."

"Wait a minute, are you sure this is possible? Anyone with a little knowledge of mathematics will know how large a scale and number of people this would require. It is simply not something a gray organization can hide or remain anonymous."

"Also, even if we can influence children in their childhood, this perspective cannot conflict with real life, because people change, and all kinds of experiences bring about huge variables." Prince shook his head. He is a psychological expert and understands the difficulty.

"You don't need to affect everyone, Prince. You just need to deal with a few key points and find a breakthrough. I told you that they have many people who are good at telepathy and hypnosis."

"This world is huge, but there are only a few people who can truly decide the direction of this world, and the songstress is one of the top few among them. Their ultimate goal is to use the songstress to achieve their hidden goals."

"Sounds evil." Prince walked towards the exit, preparing to enter the busy back kitchen passage.

"But they think they are very kind and extremely noble and great." The companion also wiped the water stains on the table.

"Evil, or selfishness and greed, cannot transcend the terror of life and death, so the power they can generate is often limited."

"But kindness is not like that. The more noble and great the ideal is, the more it will attract those truly pious and fearless people. They hold the best wishes and accomplish things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand."

"But who defines kindness, and who guides it? So this 'kindness' eventually becomes an accomplice in certain desperate situations."

"It took me many years to understand the meaning behind that prophecy, which is why I regret it now."

"One day, you'll understand me, Prince, and--" He whispered the name.

"Tilan"
