Chapter 529 Evacuation
If the entire mission was arranged by Sentinel Prime, then he was indeed very thoughtful.

The Amethyst Forest is located in a remote area, with no living creatures or natural enemies, and the upper space seems to be connected to a magma layer, continuously heating the crystal pillars.

The nascent mechanical civilization could obtain cheap electricity for a long time through a technology similar to molten salt thermal storage, enough for them to grow into adults and start climbing the technology tree again.

(Copperplate engraving books have been generated in the city's buildings. The level of technology is roughly equivalent to that of astronaut Will's era. Radio communication, chemical engineering, mechanical manufacturing, etc. are all available. With some effort, they could even create nuclear power plants and artificial satellites.)

The whole process may take ten or even decades, and after that, they will have to rely on themselves.

Li Sheng looked down at the town thoughtfully. The enemy had not left the mechanical civilization with overly advanced technology. Mastering the technology to drastically change the surrounding environment would only attract the attention of other killing fields and bring danger.

It's better to develop slowly in a secluded corner.

As for the sudden misfortune, the information integration glasses clearly show that the tower in the city center, which is disguised as a clock tower, is actually a towering, sleeping war colossus comparable to a high-level superhuman.

If outsiders discover this city and perceive its weak defenses as an opportunity to bully and invade, then...
The war colossus would suddenly awaken, rise from its clock tower, and destroy all hostile targets in sight with terrifying firepower composed of naval guns, torpedoes, missiles, lasers, and even hydrogen bombs.

'In the game "Civilization," the villagers shared with you that nuclear fusion technology is actually real.'

Li Sheng silently complained to himself, casually instructing the mechanical civilization not to reveal their location information to the outside world, including his own. Then, he and Gray Rain boarded the Edge Fighter and left the Amethyst Forest.

Before leaving, adhering to the principle of seeing things through to the end, he and the Frog God used the levitation engine to move tens of thousands of tons of amethyst rocks back to their original position, sealing the passage that had been opened by the speed of light.

When mechanical civilizations are able to drill out of the rock layers on their own, they will probably only have a certain ability to protect themselves in the battlefield.

Flying back to their dreamland along the same route, Li Sheng and Gray Rain leisurely stepped off the fighter jet. Only Wanli Fengdao, Griffin, and Mianyue remained on the scene. "Where are the others?"

"Claudia withdrew after completing her mission. Reyes and White Horse Tombstone were seriously injured, so they returned to Earth first and then went to the battlefield for emergency treatment. They set up the beacon and left."

With only one arm remaining and covered in blood, Wanli Fengdao used his teeth to open a tube of glue, applied it to the severed shoulder to stop the bleeding, and declined the bear-goblin arm that Li Sheng offered him.

At this moment, the colorful mist of the Land of Dreams spread out again, engulfing all the metal structures that had fallen from the Alpha Python.

A kilometer away from the colorful fog, there is a modular building resembling a small signal tower standing on the ground.

This is a beacon, made by GOC. It's inexpensive and can emit radio signals like an airplane's black box.

The difference is that the black box can only work for three months after a power outage, while the beacon sends a signal every few hours, thus extending its working life to two years.

If there is sunlight, geothermal energy, or other energy sources nearby, it can even operate for more than ten years without supervision.

Help the scattered exploration teams across the battlefield increase their chances of finding this place.

Once found, the person who set up the beacon will be given a reward based on the value of the special location.

The griffin looked at the giant metal structures that were faintly visible in the colorful mist, then turned away with a hint of regret and said earnestly, "The Fungus King and the Centipede have also evacuated. Thank you for your help this time."

She and Mianyue exchanged information and learned that this mission was actually a three-in-one operation. The appearance of the Alpha Python was not an accident; it was part of the mission itself.

It's truly remarkable that the players managed to survive, and completing the mission is pure profit.

"It's just mutual help."

Li Sheng waved his hand, saying that he wouldn't have been able to pass the level without the non-human players providing gas cylinders and helping to draw fire.

"But then again, I'm still a little curious."

Sitting on the rock, Mianyue squinted and asked, "What did that astronaut Will say to you last?"

It is known that the Land of Dreams is Will's memory, and that Will became a Level 40 Transcendent after his hometown was destroyed. Furthermore, even tens of thousands of years after his death, he continued to push forward a certain plan.

She wasn't worried about Will's resurrection. First, there was no conflict of interest between them; when Will became a superhuman, Mianyue's world was far from being chosen by the killing field. Second, the time span of tens of thousands of years was simply too long. Even if Will could be resurrected using his remaining essence, he would definitely not be the Lv40 he once was.

"this one"

Li Sheng chuckled, "In the last moments of his life, he asked me to help him find his computer, which he had left behind somewhere, restart it, and delete his browsing history."

"So this is the kind of restart you're talking about? What do you mean by leaving a clean reputation in the world?"

Wanli Fengdao rolled his eyes. He knew Li Sheng was talking nonsense, but since he didn't want to talk about it, so be it. "I'm leaving. Let's talk in the friends channel."

"We set up a beacon, and then we removed it."

Mianyue stood up from the rock, took out a scarecrow hanging on a wooden frame from her backpack, and stuck it on the low slope next to Caiwu.

The scarecrow appears crudely made, wearing an ill-fitting handmade sweater, but it actually emits intermittent psionic signals that travel hundreds of kilometers away.

Although the two worlds have different technological approaches, their underlying ideas are similar: both use beacons to provide directional guidance for exploration teams.

The layman sees the spectacle, but the expert sees the details. From the frequency and distance of the scarecrow's psionic broadcasts, one can know that there is no technological gap between the world of the griffins and modern Earth.

"Is this convergent evolution?"

Gray Rain, with a wise expression, squinted and pondered: "Mammalian whales and dolphins, and reptiles like ichthyosaurs, have evolved streamlined bodies to adapt to the underwater environment, just like fish."

The pangolin in Asia and the anteater in South America have evolved the same long, thin tongue to hunt termites.
When I play games, I always encounter teammates who are just as bad as me.

You're quite proud of yourself, aren't you?
Mianyue, Wanli Fengdao, and the others had strange expressions. After a brief farewell, they all disappeared from the spot.

Seeing that Li Sheng was still standing there, Hui Yu asked in confusion, "Aren't we leaving?"

"One last thing."

Li Sheng took out an NFC card, swiped it against the Corridor of Heat Death, and summoned the Frog God, instructing it to release an anti-gravity field towards the depths of the colorful mist in the Land of Dreams.

Rumbling--

Large, mountain-like metal structures floated up, slowly releasing a thick, colorful mist under the guidance of gravity.

The vast majority of Alpha Python's exoskeleton was absorbed by the Dreamland, wiped away as if by an eraser. Even so, the salvageable metal parts amounted to 200,000 tons.

"Top Secret Knife Run Dreamland, 48 Hours, 200 Million Kilograms of Beauty Evacuated."

Li Sheng rubbed his hands together frantically, directing Frog God to pack all the metal parts into the automated warehouse, and beckoning Gray Rain back to the electronic pet egg.

Before returning to the real world, he looked around and threw the signal station and scarecrow into the colorful mist of the Dreamland to prevent the expedition team from discovering the place and affecting the nascent mechanical civilization in the distance.

The land of dreams returned to peace. Just half a minute after Li Sheng disappeared, a human-shaped figure draped in tattered cloth, whose face was obscured, slowly approached.

He stared at the spot where Li Sheng and Hui Yu had disappeared, saying nothing, then suddenly raised his wrinkled hand.

The signal station and scarecrow, which had been thrown into the colorful mist, flew out of thin air and re-entered the ground.

Drip, drip, drip.

Electromagnetic waves and psionic signals still echo across the wasteland.
