National Star Sea Era...

Chapter 714 Eighty-Five Years
In fact, there are several other enslaved creatures in the [Dimensional Space Stone], including a seventh-level star-eating wolf and a seventh-level nightmare soul.

With these two, it is enough to activate the concealment and illusion properties of the [Illusion Stone]. The reason why the True Spirit Tower was chosen as the power source is that the life energy fluctuations of the seventh-level overlord are still too large. The moment it is summoned, there is a certain probability that it will be detected by the surrounding detectors.

The Mountains of Truth are extremely vast, and even a ninth-order mechanical life form cannot fully monitor them, but this does not mean that the "Father of Truth" will completely let it go.

In fact, on the way of escaping into the air, the Void Demon had discovered many small mechanical insects hidden in the depths of the forest.

There is no doubt that these mechanical insects are most likely the products of monitoring. Although their number does not seem to be large and only a few can be found at intervals, this fully proves that the "Father of Truth" is by no means without any arrangements in these Mountains of Truth.

In the underground cave, the power source of the Tower of True Spirit taken out by the sixth-level Void Demon is completely different. As an energy supply device developed by countless generations of wizards of a hegemonic civilization, it is also an absolutely high-end one among a series of energy supply devices. Its internal energy source has long been absolutely stable. Before it is activated, it is exactly the same as an ordinary thing.

Soon, the Void Demon used the energy in his body to prop up the golden [Illusion Stone]. When the illusion field covered the entire underground cave, the power source of the True Spirit Tower was also activated.

With the continuous energy supply from the True Spirit Tower's power source, the strength of the illusion field stimulated by the golden [Illusion Stone] became more and more amazing. However, this was not enough. The Void Demon summoned the seventh-level Star-Devouring Wolf and the seventh-level Nightmare Soul in the [Dimensional Space Stone] together. When the two of them also put their own energy into the [Illusion Stone], the power of this golden wonder was further stimulated.

Until this time, Song Chi estimated that the concealing ability of this illusion field should be sufficient, and then he commanded the sixth-level void demon to activate the "Projection Emperor Stone".

Buzz!
Intense spatial energy surged in this underground cave, and the projection of a star destroyer with a length of 18,000 kilometers quickly condensed above the cave.

In other words, the concealing ability of the illusion field is strong enough, otherwise such a big commotion would definitely attract outside attention.

Outside the [Floating Land of Truth], Song Chi had a change of mind as he had already escaped from the interior of the Tianxu Cangqiong, which had already traveled millions of light years away.

The "virtual-reality conversion" feature of the [Imperial Tomb Projection in the Virtual Sea] component has been activated.

At the same time, the projection of the star destroyer above the underground cave space gradually turned from virtual to real.

When the projection of Tianxu Cangqiong was completely solidified, Song Chi appeared at the gradually opening hatch. He waved his hand and pointed, laying a space anchor point on the ground in the middle of the cave space.

After doing this, the solid hull of the Tianxu Cangqiong disappeared again, but soon Song Chi himself appeared out of thin air in the underground cave space.

At this point, the second step of the plan to sneak into the floating land of truth silently was also perfectly completed.

A faint light flickered between the eyebrows, and the Tianxu Cangqiong was summoned out from the ancestral orifice of the fire.

After boarding the warship, Song Chi began to consider the related matters of the subsequent third step plan.

The third step of the plan is very simple. While trying to avoid being discovered, try your best to explore the floating land of truth under your feet.

This is a ninth-level floating land. Although its foundation is not as rich as that of the Demon Snake Floating Land, it gathers the essence of the entire truth mechanical civilization. The value of the resources and rare objects it contains is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The key is that the [Father of Truth], including the ninth-order combat forces of the Truth Mechanical Civilization, are all located on the front line of the battlefield, which provides Song Chi with an excellent opportunity to strike.

"Xinghai Giant Ape Civilization, you guys need to show some strength..."

Muttering to himself, Song Chi no longer hesitated, and the "Mirage" feature that had long cooled down was activated again. With the help of the golden-quality [Void Membrane], the Tianxu Cangqiong rushed out of the underground cave.

After handing over the control of the warship to the Sky Intelligent Computer, Song Chi clicked on all the information he had previously collected about the Floating Land of Truth.

According to these records, the Floating Land of Truth is divided into two parts, north and south, and then the north and south are each divided into four large regions. In other words, these eight large regions encompass the entire Floating Land of Truth.

Among the eight districts, the District of Truth is the highest core district, in which stands a magical super mechanical city. The other seven districts also have a special main city each.

However, Song Chi immediately excluded these eight super cities from the initial exploration targets. There is no doubt that these eight super cities must be guarded by eighth-level mechanical beasts of truth. In addition, with the blessing of the original will of the floating land, even with the Tianxu Cangqiong in the "mirage" state, Song Chi was still worried about the risk of exposure.

In comparison, the hundreds of mid- and high-level cities outside these eight super cities are Song Chi’s current main target.

South 112 City, the capital of advanced machinery, has more than two seventh-order "Demon Hunting Level" Truth Mechanical Beasts stationed there. There is at least one sixth-order Truth Mechanical Beast production line in the city, and it gathers a large number of mid- and high-level mineral resources.

"It's just you..."

Scanning the information of the highest-level cities, Song Chi quickly selected his target.

The engine roared, and after a jump, it soon arrived at the southern area not far from the underground cave base.

The South 112 City he chose was a high-level city in this area.

Maybe he had enough confidence in the ninth-level floating land shield above his head. Along the way, Song Chi found that most of the mechanical cities on the floating land of truth were not activated, and some even did not have related devices such as city shields.

Because of this, the Tianxu Cangqiong easily entered the urban area of ​​South 112 City.

As a city where various mechanical races and mechanical creations of exaggerated size, and even mechanical behemoths, gather, the city architecture of the Truth Mechanical Civilization itself inherits the rough style. While it covers an area far larger than that of human cities, even the Tianxu Cangqiong, with a length of nearly 20,000 kilometers, has no difficulty in shuttling through it.

This undoubtedly further enhances the convenience of Song Chi's subsequent actions.

"Beep, beep, a new batch of sixth-level mechanical beasts are leaving the warehouse, everyone on alert!"

Suddenly, a series of alarms were sounded in the super-large production base on the outskirts of the city. Then, a seventh-order mechanical behemoth of truth guarding there turned its gaze over. At the same time, a large number of fourth- and fifth-order mechanical tribes and mechanical behemoths entered the second-level alert state.

Soon, under the garrison of a large number of mechanical clans, the super alloy gate of the first-level mechanical processing production line, which was taller than ordinary mountains, slowly opened, and then a new type of mechanical transport ships drove out of it like elephants strolling.

Until the last mechanical transport ship sailed out, no more, no less, exactly a hundred.

The mechanical clan who were on high alert had no idea that right above the factory, a super battleship hidden in the depths of the void was quietly hovering in the sky, and all the actions below were under its full monitoring.

In the main control room of the Tianxu Cangqiong, Song Chi's eyes flickered, and the shadow of his double pupils moved unsteadily in his eyes.

Suddenly, he murmured softly.

"Each mechanical transport ship carries a sixth-level Truth Mechanical Beast..."

The performance of this new transport ship of the Truth Mechanical Civilization is not bad, but it is a standard super-quality product after all. It does not have the absolute isolation effect between the inside and the outside like the Xinhuo battleship. Although it also has a strong sense of stealth, it does not have much effect in the face of the power of the seventh-level double pupils.

These one hundred sixth-level Truth Mechanical Beasts are still not fully formed. Song Chi estimates that these one hundred mechanical transport ships are ready to send them to the City of Truth, where they will be implanted with specific intelligent brains and then sent to the front lines of the battlefield together with the mechanical beasts manufactured by other cities, so as to continuously maintain the balance of the Truth Mechanical Civilization front.

His eyes swept over the one hundred sixth-level truth mechanical beasts. It would be a lie to say that he was not tempted. Right now, the Song family can only mass-produce the fifth-level Moro Sky-Escape Mecha, which can no longer keep up with the pace of the Tianxu Cangqiong. If he could replace it with these sixth-level mechanical beasts, it would be pretty good.

The key is that this kind of truth mechanical beast is tough enough. As long as the number can be increased, combined with the "fully automatic sub-brain intelligent machine" feature of the [Qiongtian Intelligent Brain System], it will definitely be a strong trump card.

However, in comparison, Song Chi was more interested in what was inside the super-large alloy portal. If he guessed correctly, this closed mechanical factory made entirely of super alloys was where the production line of the sixth-order truth mechanical beast was located.

Although one hundred level six truth mechanical beasts are tempting, compared to a production line that can continuously produce truth mechanical beasts, it goes without saying which is more important.

Just like that, in front of the seventh-order truth mechanical behemoth not far away, taking advantage of the moment when the super alloy portal was wide open, Song Chi quickly controlled the Tianxu Cangqiong and rushed in.

"Sure enough, this is the production line for the Level 6 Truth Machine Beasts..."

Passing through the alloy portal, Song Chi saw the super mechanical device inside the mechanical factory that was still running continuously. All the parts needed for a finished sixth-order truth mechanical beast can basically be produced on this entire production line. After that, it only needs to complete the corresponding assembly and intelligent brain implantation, and a standard sixth-order truth mechanical beast will have conventional sixth-order combat capabilities.

This time, Song Chi's eyes revealed an undisguised enthusiasm. He was extremely envious of this entire production line. As long as it could be moved back to the Dragon Ridge Continent, the Song family would be able to mass-produce this kind of mechanical combat beasts immediately.

In less than two seconds, a lot of thoughts emerged in his mind. In the end, reason overcame desire. Song Chi did not choose to attack, but instead created a space anchor point inside.

After doing this, he immediately controlled the Tianxu Cangqiong and turned away.

He knew very well in his heart that with the seventh-order truth mechanical behemoth from the outside world guarding it, if he dared to take direct action, the existence of the Tianxu Cangqiong would be immediately exposed in the next second, and might even be transmitted directly to the front line.

There are still many places on this floating land of truth waiting for him to explore first, and Song Chi does not want to bring back the "Father of Truth" so early.

That was the content of the fourth step plan after all.

However, this does not mean that he has given up on this production line. The spatial anchor point he has established speaks for itself.

His method was very simple. He would first take note of this place, and then wait until the fourth step was officially started. When the [Father of Truth] was too busy to take care of other things, he would ask the three ancestors to send the battleship clones over and try to dismantle the production line of this sixth-order mechanical beast completely.

After leaving, Song Chi quickly went to the central area of ​​the city below, where was the core secret library of this advanced mechanical city.

Like the rugged style of the city itself, the core vault of this mechanical city also occupies an incredibly large area. When the Tianxu Cangqiong entered it silently, it did not cause any collision.

As the core secret vault of a city of advanced machinery, there are naturally a large number of mechanical clans guarding the outside. Not only that, a layer of mechanical blockade light curtain is also set up at the entrance of the secret vault itself.

Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for outsiders to enter this core vault space quietly without alerting the thousands of people outside, including the second seventh-level truth mechanical behemoth in the city who is personally guarding it.

However, the fact is that Song Chi did it so easily.

At this moment, the Tianxu Cangqiong had already quietly entered the secret vault and was searching the vault for various items at full speed.

All thanks to one component.

A golden flash component. [Starlight Flashing Stone Talisman]

To be more precise, it is the "Starlight Flashing Escape" feature of the [Starlight Flashing Stone Talisman] component.

{Starlight Flash Escape: Consumes 1000000 psionic points, including but not limited to ignoring space blockade, warship confinement, forbidden magic field, time freeze and other control or blocking effects, and flashes in the specified direction. The current maximum flash distance is 9 light years, and the cooling time is constant at 50 years.}
If it weren't for this characteristic, how could Song Chi deliberately come up with this third step plan?
If you want to quietly plunder the top resources on the [Floating Land of Truth], it is not enough to just rely on the concealment priority. If you want to start plundering, you must first be able to access these top resources, right?
The "Starlight Flash Escape" solves this problem perfectly.

As for its 50-year cooling time, that's not a bad thing. The cooling reduction provided by the lv90 [Time Chessboard] and the lv80 [Posha Meditation Seal] can directly reduce 50 years to 2 years.

Although it is still not short, compared with the civilization war between the Truth Mechanical Civilization and the Star Sea Giant Ape Civilization, which often lasts for tens of thousands of years, it is enough for the Tianxu Cangqiong to be used countless times.

However, there is a prerequisite, that is, the resources in each secret vault cannot be moved too much, otherwise once a secret vault is opened halfway, the news of the theft will spread immediately.

This also prevented Song Chi, who was inside the secret vault at the moment, from taking any action.

【Truth II Alloy·589 tons】

【Truth I Alloy·6700 tons】

【Mixed copper mother ore·2.8 tons】

[Obsidian Ore·38 tons]

[Ninth-level floating land origin 150 strands]

[Seventh-level master true spirit 60 copies]

[Golden Holy Land Wonder Item: Metamorphosis Magic Stone]

[Red Wonder Intelligent Brain·Red Sun Intelligent Brain Device]

……

Looking at the various resources piled up in chaos in various places in the secret vault, Song Chi's eyes moved rapidly, thinking about which ones were suitable to take and which ones were best left alone.

First of all, the golden sacred object [Metamorphosis Magic Stone] must not be moved. It is placed in the most conspicuous position in the secret vault. As long as the door of the secret vault is opened, it can be seen at the first glance.

Therefore, if it was really taken away, it would be easily detected later.

More than twenty minutes later, when Song Chi returned to the underground cave residence through the space anchor point, peace had returned to the core treasury of South 112 City.

From the outside, it seems that there is no change in this core treasure house, but in fact it is not the case.

Those seemingly unchanged piles of resource ore have more or less multiple holes inside them. Although they appear to be unchanged on the outside, a lot of them have actually been looted.

In addition, Song Chi also took away many orange, red and silver-level rare items from certain corners of the secret vault, including some high-level floating land origins, dominant true spirits, etc.

These things may seem the same as before, but in fact something is missing inside.

In the cave station, Song Chi made a statistics.

I found that I had looted quite a lot of things this time. Although the quantity of each item was not large, the total value was considerable.

【Truth II Alloy·45 tons】

【Truth I Alloy·350 tons】

【Mixed copper mother ore·0.4 tons】

[Obsidian Ore·6 tons]

[Ninth-level floating land origin 20 strands]

[Seventh-level master true spirit 15 copies]

[Red Wonder Intelligent Brain·Red Sun Intelligent Brain Device]

[Orange Wonder Brain·Transformer Brain]

……

One thing is worth noting. Perhaps it is because there are a large number of ordinary intelligent computers in the civilization itself. Over the years, a large number of rare intelligent computers have been born within the territory of the Truth Mechanical Civilization. Although they are basically of red or lower quality, their value is not low.

At least for a Xinhuo battleship, the auxiliary role that an intermediate intelligent computer component can provide is very significant.

Song Chi originally wanted to keep all these rare intelligent brains and distribute them to the core members of the tribe later. However, the reaction of the [Qiongtian Intelligent Brain System] was much greater than he had imagined. In the end, he could only integrate all the rare intelligent brains he had obtained into the [Qiongtian Intelligent Brain System].

After devouring and fusing several pieces of rare intelligent brains, the evolutionary trend of the [Sky Intelligent Brain System] became more and more obvious. Song Chi estimated that if it could devour two or three more red-level rare intelligent brains, it should be able to evolve to the golden sanctuary quality.

Although the harvest was good, the Tianxu Cangqiong ship would have to wait for two years afterwards.

During this period, Song Chi was not just waiting. Two years later, when the buffering of the "Starlight Flashing Escape" feature was completed, he summoned out the mirror battleship that he had canceled in advance. In this way, including the mirror battleship, he will be able to activate "Starlight Flashing Escape" twice in succession.

His target was still the southern district, but this time he chose another high-level city.

The subsequent actions were to repeat the operations two years ago. Although they were exactly the same actions, the effect was not very good. He also easily visited the secret vault in the second high-level city.

After the search was completed, he first returned to the underground cave space using the space anchor point as a transit point, and then continued to remotely control the mirror battleship with the same "mirage" feature activated to set off again, but the target changed again.

With this proven action, nearly ten years passed in a flash. During this time, he successfully visited all the high-level cities in the South District 1, and the accumulated resources he plundered were already quite astonishing.

This was not the end. He then turned his target to the South Second District and continued to repeat this operation.

In this daily life, time keeps passing.

In the blink of an eye, eighty-five years have passed since the Tianxu Cangqiong officially dived into the Floating Land of Truth.

In eighty-five years, Song Chi has visited all the high-level cities in the four major regions in the south, and even the first major region in the north.

Now his target has shifted to the second largest region in the north.

On this day, Song Chi was carefully counting the harvest of more than eighty years in the underground cave station.

The core vaults of all the advanced cities in the five and a half regions, a total of 48 advanced cities, contain the equally valuable special alloys of truth and various rare mineral source stones.

Song Chi alone obtained nearly a thousand rare objects. At present, for a ninth-level floating land, less than a thousand rare objects can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

But don't forget that Song Chi searched with a purpose. Apart from the rare object intelligent brain, all the rare objects he searched were of quality lower than orange. There were as many as 102 red items, 16 silver items, 4 gold items, and even two black items.

In addition there are the origin of the floating land and the true spirit of the master.

In total, he acquired more than 1300 strands of the Ninth-Level Floating Land Origin, and more than five-digit strands of the Eighth-Level Floating Land Origin. He also acquired 240 strands of the Seventh-Level Sovereign True Spirit, 35 strands of the Eighth-Level Sovereign True Spirit, and 2 strands of the Ninth-Level Sovereign True Spirit.

In addition, intentionally or unintentionally, he also obtained more than two hundred sixth-level Truth Mechanical Beasts, and more than a thousand fifth-level Truth Mechanical Beasts, um... the ones that have not yet been implanted with intelligent brains.

These mechanical beasts are all old models, and their combat power is two points weaker than the latest type of truth mechanical beasts. Perhaps that is why they are piled up deep in the secret vault and have not been sent to the front battlefield.

But for Song Chi, these are not important. He has arranged the 210 sixth-level mechanical beasts on the Tianxu Cangqiong. As for those fifth-level mechanical beasts, he has sent them back to the Dragon Ridge Continent through the Zhutianxu Market.

The family's current production of Moro Sky-Escape Mechas is still limited, and many members of the family have not yet been distributed. These fifth-order mechanical beasts can also be of some use.

As for the problem that these mechanical beasts have no control system, there is no need to worry about it. Over the past eighty years, Song Chi has left behind more than dozens of intelligent brain artifacts, all of which have been digested by the Song family. There will be no problem using these intelligent brain artifacts to control these mechanical beasts.

Speaking of this miraculous intelligent brain, Song Chi turned to the [Qiongtian Intelligent Brain System] component. Decades ago, it had transformed from silver to gold.

However, before he could click on its attribute panel, Song Chi's eyes narrowed suddenly.

The three Void Shadow Killer Clan terracotta warriors that he deliberately left in the outside world had just learned a piece of news that secret vaults had been stolen in several major areas in the southern part of the Floating Continent.

In the cave, Song Chi's tightly narrowed eyes relaxed again, but he sighed softly:

"I had originally thought of waiting a few decades, but now it seems I have no choice but to do it earlier!"
