Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

"..."

Cocolia looked at Einstein's eyes seriously through the screen, then glanced at Tesla who was sulking beside her. After thinking for a while, she felt that there was nothing wrong with this, so she nodded and said,

"In that case, I will be waiting for you both in twenty minutes."

Chapter 165: Anti-entropy in action!

The meeting between the two sides went much more smoothly than expected, which was both unexpected and reasonable.

This does not mean that the two factions have really reconciled. On the contrary, they are still sleeping in the same bed but having different dreams and are wary of each other.

However, in this nearly ten thousand-meter-deep abyss, the conflict between the two factions seemed somewhat insignificant in the face of the might of nature. Moreover, when it came to exploring the ruins, the interests of both sides were highly aligned:

For the two doctors, it would be great if they could successfully explore the ruins here; but before that, they must first ensure safety.

Not only do they and their group need to evacuate safely, but the Honkai energy dormant here must also be kept safe.

As for Cocolia, although her purpose is not pure, it does not conflict with the requirements of the two doctors - to safely open this underwater relic, bring it under control intact, and begin to seek to open the door to the quantum dimension.

This process is best completed quietly to avoid attracting the attention of destiny and competing with you for this precious historical relic.

Because of this, Cocolia did not want to cause any trouble. After simply listening to Dr. Einstein's calm statement and pondering for a moment, he waved his hand and completely agreed with the opinions of the two doctors. He also agreed to carry out the subsequent formal excavation of the ruins in full accordance with the plan of the two doctors.

After all, wasn't the reason they were brought in from the beginning to allow these two scholars to give full play to their professional expertise?

Cocolia, who is determined to become the leader of anti-entropy, does have this basic judgment and measurement.

Of course, the most important thing is that she is confident that in this deep sea abyss, even if these two doctors dare to play any tricks, they will never be able to escape from her palm.

Therefore, in the next few days, Dr. Tesla and Dr. Einstein, according to the drawings and calculation results they had drawn in the past few days, carried out a thorough risk investigation and excavation around the entire ruins with a caution similar to that of "bomb disposal".

Finally, in this deep sea water that had long been stirred into turbidity, the ruins whose general outline had been excavated finally showed its magnificent shadow.

"This is truly a huge miracle."

Several new models of Titan mechas gathered together. They were painted in different colors to distinguish them. Einstein's slightly sighing voice was heard on the communication channel of one of them.

These Titan mechas were the ones that Tesla, Einstein, and Cocolia rode. They were clustered together with several escort mechas, standing on a relatively flat reef, looking down at the magnificent building complex in the distance that was illuminated by countless high-brightness searchlights as bright as day.

It's like a sleeping underwater city!

"Next, we will officially open this ancient relic and the scientific equipment within, which far surpasses modern civilization. The once unreachable quantum dimension will soon be within our reach!"

Cocolia said with some excitement that she had paid almost everything for the scene before her, even making a deal with the devil.

"Next, as long as we activate the barrier system of the ruins, we can isolate the ruins from the outside world. We can then drain out the seawater and begin the cleanup and excavation work."

Tesla also said with some emotion,

"It's incredible to think about it. Those life-support systems, which have been buried for a generation, are still intact. They only need to be injected with the energy needed to operate... Tell them to be gentler!"

When he said the last sentence, Tesla almost roared it out.

Nearly a thousand meters away, there stood a huge Honkai energy engine, connected to it by several thick cables, stretching towards the sleeping ruins.

What made Tesla unable to hold back her anger was seeing several mechas violently digging out the soil that contained abundant Honkai energy and filling it into the engine fuel chamber.

"If you damage the engine, we don't have another ship's powerhouse to dismantle for you! Moreover, if you accidentally activate the dormant Houkai energy here, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Don't worry, Doctor. They used materials excavated during the preliminary excavation and dredging of the ruins. They were originally stored in a safe place as you requested. Now they are just recycling waste. They have not touched the unstable and dangerous areas you mentioned."

Cocolia smiled confidently and said calmly,

"Before this mountain of 'fuel' is completely consumed, we simply need to enter the core area of ​​this ruin and open the gate to the quantum realm. It will then draw energy from that quantum ocean, completing a self-sufficient energy cycle—and thus will not touch the dormant Honkai energy outside."

"It's better to do as you said..."

Tesla said sullenly that the feeling of being humiliated and unable to fight back made her extremely uncomfortable.

The last time I felt this aggrieved was when Lin Wei verbally abused me and I couldn't fight back...

It’s so uncomfortable!

“This design is indeed ingenious and imaginative.”

Although Einstein spoke in amazement, her tone remained calm.

"It's just strange. Although this massive facility sank along with Mu Continent in the disaster caused by the Ninth Herrscher, it's so well-preserved. Why didn't the people of the previous civilization rediscover it and continue using it?"

Einstein found it difficult to understand.

All the ruins previously unearthed by both Anti-Entropy and Destiny were urgently closed and sealed off 50,000 years ago, on the eve of the demise of a once glorious civilization, leaving them for future generations. Each relic is filled with tragedy and helplessness.

But the ruins before us are different. Although the former civilization at that time was becoming increasingly difficult, it was far from being destroyed.

In this case, how could this giant scientific research facility, which is so well-preserved and of such self-evident importance, not be rediscovered, wiped away all the blood and tears, and continued to be used in an era when everyone was trying their best to keep civilization going?

"Furthermore, based on the information you provided, Ms. Cocolia, this relic has its own life support system and protective devices to isolate it from seawater. I even suspect that it was originally a scientific research institution hidden deep underwater, rather than being hastily buried here with Mu Continent."

Einstein's tone remained calm, although she felt a sense of unease in her heart.

"Hehe, who knows? Maybe those guys, like you two, are frightened by the destruction buried here."

Cocolia's eyes were filled with urgency. She was too lazy to think deeply about these things and directly killed the topic.

"Okay, stop wasting time and get started."

As she spoke, she issued instructions to the mecha operating the equipment in the distance.

Suddenly, the huge furnace began to hum rapidly, and the surging heat was greedily plundered by the surrounding cold sea water, forming a string of huge bubbles that floated upwards;

Most of the remaining energy quickly flowed along those thick cables to the dormant ruins on the other side; the surging energy was rapidly injected into the system that had been dry for 50,000 years!

"Om..."

There was a tremor in the earth, which made the sea water even more turbid; the ruins slowly opened their eyes like a sleeping giant in mythology.

The two doctors had no time to appreciate this unique and magnificent scenery. The vibrations transmitted to them through the mecha under their feet had already made them terrified. They hurriedly checked the detection systems installed in various areas, holding their breath and staring at the complicated numbers without blinking. They made sure that the values ​​never rose to the dangerous red line, but instead slowly fell back to the original number after a brief shock, and then they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"This guy……"

The two doctors looked at each other across the screen and gave each a wry smile.

"What a madman!"

After all, if it is true as Cocolia said, that the people of the previous civilization decided to reluctantly abandon this precious scientific device because they were afraid of the Honkai energy buried in this deep sea; then the answer it points to is almost only one: the Ninth Herrscher incident of the previous civilization was an unfinished project!

The Ruler whose power was gravity, the moment he was born, announced his arrival by tearing apart and sinking an entire continent; does this mean that the enormous amount of collapse energy that was brought with him at his birth, enough to destroy the continent, was buried in this deep sea along with the dead continent?

After all, completely resolving a Honkai disaster is far more than just defeating the Herrscher who caused it; secondary Honkai disasters, Honkai beasts that appear out of nowhere and wreak havoc everywhere... these are all extremely difficult problems.

Perhaps it was because the previous civilization had suffered a series of heavy blows that it did not want to and could not excavate this facility and reuse it.

The purpose was to avoid triggering the Honkai energy that had been so hard to submerge in the deep sea; otherwise, they might face another shock no less severe than the arrival of the Herrscher—only this time there would be no true Herrscher...

And now, they and their group were actually going to carry out such a dangerous excavation and exploration here, which, in the minds of the two doctors, was no less than opening the gates of hell; and Cocolia was actually so confident about this?

Where the hell does she get that confidence from?

Tesla forced herself to suppress the urge to curse; at this moment, she and Einstein had a common question in their minds: Where did Cocolia get the information from, and why did she know so much about this relic?

They even knew exactly what kind of facilities were there, and their job was to constantly verify the authenticity of Cocolia's intelligence and confirm that those facilities were still intact and reliable!

"How did she do it?"

The two doctors were completely baffled. It was as if a survivor who had worked or at least lived here had presented her with an absolutely accurate map as an eyewitness!

But how is this possible?

There are so many mysteries here that the two doctors are increasingly hesitant to act rashly.

If we accidentally provoke Cocolia and completely break down the currently harmonious cooperative relationship, the consequences will be unimaginable in this dangerous place!

There is no turning back once the work has begun. We have come this far. Even though the two doctors know that they are most likely being cheated, they can only bite the bullet and accompany Cocolia all the way to the end.

After all, with me watching over you, you might be able to get through the level without any trouble.

If we let Cocolia mess around here alone, who knows what kind of trouble she will cause?

"After calculations, we have marked seven points within the ruins. We have also noted their order."

Tesla said gloomily: She is really unwilling to accept it.

"Work in pairs, draining water simultaneously, stopping when the water reaches the marked level. This way, we can quickly drain the water from the ruins while maintaining balance to the greatest extent possible..."

But no matter how unwilling you are, what can you do? You've already boarded the pirate ship, and there's only one way to go!

"Oh? Aren't there seven? What about the other one?"

Cocolia was very satisfied with Tesla's helpless obedience to her at this moment, and asked in a rather nitpicking manner,

"Won't there be any problems with just one mark left?"

"you!"

Tesla was really fed up with this unreasonable behavior, but just as he opened his mouth, Einstein calmly took over the conversation.

"The last remaining mark is naturally the core location of the ruins. It is located at the center of gravity, so naturally there is only one point."

"Haha, that makes sense."

Cocolia was satisfied, and then she said lightly,

"Then let's do as you say!"

From beginning to end, she didn't even take a second look at the drawings Tesla sent her, and just forwarded it as part of the task.

Of course, she believed in the abilities of the two top scientists around her, and she also believed that these two pedantic guys would never do anything bad to her on such an important issue.

It was precisely because she knew these two scholars well enough that Kokolia dared to openly manipulate Tesla so unscrupulously without fearing that she would suddenly turn against her.

You see, she always has a bad temper, but now her face is as red as her hair because of anger, but can't she just swallow her anger and bow her head to me?

How could Cocolia not know that there was danger here?

But precisely because this place is dangerous enough, my plan is safe enough!

"Just wait, it's almost... this is the last step!"

Whether it was the inexplicable ambition in her heart, or the deep concern in her heart for the quantum realm that she could never let go of, they were like the positive and negative poles of a magnet, filling her entire chest.

Cocolia took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then suddenly gave the order,

"The action begins!"

Chapter 166: Overturning the car, causing a big disaster, and taking the blame! (5,000 words)

Although they were scholars and scientists by profession, Tesla and Einstein adapted to their current roles as "engineering commanders" quite quickly, following the fine tradition of "rushing to the front line whether there is something to do or not" that had been upheld for many years by all the top executives of Anti-Entropy except Cocolia.

Because according to the plan, in order to maximize the stability of the ruins' structure, the drainage work needed to be carried out simultaneously in pairs at the six nodes marked on the map. Therefore, Tesla and Einstein took on the responsibility of each contracting three nodes, working separately and coordinating with each other;

Cocolia is responsible for commanding her mecha troops to eliminate the Honkai beasts exposed due to the drop in water levels.

Yes, there are a certain number of Honkai beasts sleeping in the ruins, and this was known to everyone present from the beginning.

But firstly, based on the Honkai Energy response, the number of Honkai Beasts within the ruins was not large. It was still within the manageable range. Secondly, it was Cocolia's stubborn insistence on pushing forward the exploration of the ruins.

At this point, there was nothing more the two doctors could do except to be 300% alert and careful to ensure a successful conclusion of this exploration of the ruins.

"This abominable female vixen, I will teach her a lesson after this is over!"

Tesla gnashed his teeth in his mecha, and after a moment he said in a bad mood on the communicator,

"Hey, Chicken Coop Head, I've finished it successfully, how's yours?"

"I'm ready here too."

Einstein on the screen elegantly drank a Coke he had taken out from somewhere with a straw, while performing various complex operations on the screen and reminding with a deadpan face,

"Dr. Tesla, no matter what the reason, since you've already driven the organization's only Alaharto, please respect the organization's precious assets. At the very least, you should remove your robotic arm when performing operations in the cab."

"Of course I know about this kind of thing, you don't need to say anything more!"

Tesla waved his arms impatiently, forcibly ending the topic.

"3, 2, 1, start!"

The two diagonally arranged working groups pressed the start button at the same time. With a slight vibration under their feet, the sound of waves gradually became clearer and clearer in the sea water everywhere around them. The water level dropped rapidly from the dome at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then stopped abruptly at the marked position, exposing large areas of building debris and the ground.

Also exposed were many Honkai beasts that had been dormant and were now slowly waking up.

"Phew, fortunately, everything went well."

Tesla wiped his cold sweat, then cut the communication channel and shouted rudely,
