C1758 The secret under the ice sheet
The tunnel was long, at least seven or eight kilometers, but not straight down. At the end of the tunnel was a huge industrial base, a combination of mining and production. In this industrial base, there were not only a large number of engineering robot, but also humans. They were doing jobs that engineering robot couldn't do, repairing, blasting and picking ores.
These human miners were dressed in rags, and some of them even wore clothes that did not cover their bodies. They were doing heavy physical labor while naked. Most of the miners were undernourished, dry and thin. There were men and women, but women here were not given any preferential treatment. They were engaged in heavy manual labor just like the men.
There was also a certain number of blue moon man guards in the industrial base, as well as blue moon man who worked in complex production. Although she could not determine the exact number, but based on her fast detection, Xia Lei's brain could still determine the approximate number. There were around 100 armed guards at the industrial base, 500 battle droid and 200 staff at the blue moon man. There were at least a thousand human miners.
There were no Evil Moon Warrior s, no Lunar-core Legions warriors, just ordinary armed guards and blue moon man workers. The armed forces in this place were simply at the level of a Boy Scouts to Xia Lei, he could do anything he wanted with it.
The carrier did not unload the ore it was carrying into the ore area, but instead headed for a workshop.
A blue moon man worker used a baton to command the engineering robot to enter the workshop, then stopped at a fixed area.
This workshop was not a smelting workshop, but an experimental workshop.
When the carriage entered, a few blue moon man workers walked over.
"I wonder if the amount of black gold in the ores in the new mine is high. If it is, then we will move to the new mine very soon. This place will soon lose its value for mining." A blue moon man said.
"I don't want to stay in this damned place for even a day. I want to return to Lan Yue." A blue moon man said.
"Soon, the Commander Muma has already taken action against the humans. The military channel's news said that the Seventh Army had captured Underground City in Sector 37 and captured over a hundred thousand people. This means that our king is about to be resurrected, and the day of humanity's demise is approaching. " A blue moon man said with a complacent expression.
"Once our king is revived, that means more Lunar-core Warrior will be born. We have to speed up the mining of black gold, or else they won't have any weapons to use." An old blue moon man said.
On the carriage, Xia Lei's heart skipped a beat and he said secretly: "So the energy weapon Lunar-core Warrior used to receive Lan Yue's Sky Curtain's energy transmission was actually made from black gold mined in the Star of Ice? Black gold? "
He had never heard of any 'Black Gold' before, and her spy, Yue Nu 2, who was still on the Blue Moon had never provided him with any relevant information. However, this was not strange at all. Yue Nu No.2 was just a house slave robot with no authority, and the core weapon of the Lunar-core Army was Lan Yue's top secret.
He had never been able to figure out what was going on with the Lunar-core Warrior's energy weapon, but he never thought that he would find the answer here.
"We are not only worth black gold here." A middle-aged blue moon man in a military uniform walked over, "Don't forget, the compound black gold we are producing here is an important material for the construction of Blue Moon, as well as our warships and warplanes. They all need a large amount of compound black gold."
"Commander Hei Sen." A few of the workers of blue moon man lowered their heads in greeting.
"Stop talking, let's go to work. Since you already know that our king is about to be resurrected, then you know how much black gold we need this time. "If you don't work hard now, you'll know that you regret it when you're held accountable." The middle-aged blue moon man officer called Hei Sen said.
A few of the workers from the blue moon man moved. Some of them started up the machines, while others directed the workers from the driver's seat to remove the ores.
The carriage was propped up by an energy lifting device.
When Xia Lei was being lifted up by the carriage, he floated up and looked down at the few blue moon man s in the experiment workshop from above.
"Hurry up, it's best if you can give me the results in five hours." Hathaway left behind these words as he headed towards a corridor.
Xia Lei carried Lan Ji'er to the surface, and then followed Hei Sen into the passageway.
At the end of the passage was a silver alloy door, and at the door stood two fully armed battle droid. Hei Sen walked up to the silver alloyed door to receive a scan, then opened it.
Xia Lei did not wait for the alloy door to close, and pulled Lan Ji'er through.
Behind the alloy gate was the control center of the entire industrial base. A huge monitoring projection was floating in the air above the control center. Not only was there the internal image of the industrial base, but also the external image of the surrounding area. Xia Lei saw a patrol squad on a mountain beside the industrial base. Two blue moon man soldiers and eight battle droid s.
The control center had a dozen or so blue moon man, some were officers in uniform, some were in work clothes, they were also controlling the core equipment or integration system that was related to production.
An officer walked towards Hei Sen, an excited smile on his face. "Commander Hei Sen, there's news from the search party we sent."
"Eh? What news? "
"They said that they might have found the Saint King Lan Ling's Royal Tomb."
Hei Sen was stunned for a moment before asking excitedly, "Is this true?" All these years we have been searching for the Saint King Lan Ling's Royal Tomb but have not been able to find anything.
"I'm not sure yet, but the search party said the chances are high. Right, they also sent back a video. Legion Commander, take a look. " The officer activated his communication device and a small-scaled projection mapping appeared in the space in front of him.
Xia Lei shifted his gaze onto that small-scaled projection mapping. He had originally controlled his emotions, but after seeing it, he couldn't help but become excited.
It was a flat surface of ice that stretched as far as the eye could see. It did not look like a plain, but a frozen sea. This was because it was too flat. There were no protruding mountains, nor uneven valleys. Even if it was a flat plain, it could not be as flat as this. There was only a frozen sea.
A few blue moon man wearing cold-proof clothing stood on top of a piece of ice. Behind them was a large ice cave that was dug out using engineering machinery, as well as a pile of stone bricks placed beside the ice.
What made Xia Lei extremely excited were those stone bricks, because they were not ordinary rocks, but star stones with blue energy glow!
There was no need for any more evidence. Just by relying on that pile of starstone bricks, one could confirm that this was the Saint King Lan Ling's Royal Tomb!
Lan Ji'er's hands began to tremble, her ability to control her emotions was clearly inferior to Xia Lei's.
Xia Lei could feel her nervousness and excitement. He lightly pulled her into his embrace, then whispered into her ear. "Don't be nervous, don't be agitated.
His words allowed Lan Ji'er to calm down a little. She also went close to Xia Lei's ear and whispered: "Can I talk?"
Xia Lei smiled, "No problem, these guys are just ordinary blue moon man. I used my energy to isolate the light and sound, so they couldn't see us or hear us. If you're nervous and excited, you can talk to me. "
"I have a feeling that this is the Saint King Lan Ling's Royal Tomb." As expected, Lan Ji'er opened her chatterbox, "I thought that Saint King Lan Ling's Wang Ling would be in the Imperial Capital's Ruins, but I didn't expect it to be in the sea."
Xia Lei replied, "Saint King Lan Ling is a person who is rich in intelligence, how could he possibly have her king's mausoleum built within the ruins of the imperial city? The place he chose must have been a place that others would have never thought of, a place that was extremely difficult to find. In the sea, who would have thought that his Royal Tomb would be in the sea? "
"But blue moon man found it."
"That Hesse fellow said that they have been searching for many years." This planet is not big, with blue moon man's current technology and equipment, it would not be strange for them to be able to find it. " Xia Lei said.
At this moment, a member of the search party spoke up. "Reporting to Commander Hesse, we have discovered these stone bricks from the bottom of the sea." This kind of star stone plays an extremely important role in the Ahimis's civilization, so we have reason to believe that the Saint King Lan Ling's Royal Tomb is right under our feet. "
"Hahaha!" "Continue probing. I need a definite result."
"Yes." The member of the search party said, "Commander Hei Sen, do you want to report to Lan Yue?"
After a moment of silence, Heshan said, "No need. We'll report this when we have a definite result." If it was a fake intelligence report, then the moment it was reported, it would no longer be a good thing. Believe me, if I am certain that I have found the Saint King Lan Ling's grave, everyone here will be richly rewarded and awarded with honors. "
"Yes, we will give a definite result as soon as possible."
"I'll be right over." Hei Sen couldn't wait any longer. "Prepare a flying ship for me immediately!"
Xia Lei's line of sight fell upon the location marked on the projection mapping.
The officer turned off his communicator and asked tentatively, "Commander Hesse, can I pass through?"
"I need you here. Stay here and wait for my good news." After saying this, he walked towards another alloy door of the Hessian Control Center.
The officer who provided the information looked annoyed, but he did not dare to let it out.
Xia Lei pulled Lan Ji'er's hand and followed. When Hei Sen opened the black door and walked out, he and Lan Ji'er also walked out.
Behind the alloy door was a warehouse.
Seeing the scene inside the warehouse, Xia Lei was shocked, there were at least tens of thousands of tons of so called black gold coins inside the warehouse.
In the center of the warehouse, there were several metal boxes. The boxes were locked. Xia Lei's line of sight landed on the few chests, and his eyes jumped a little as he entered the mode of projection. His perspective, however, was deflected once it penetrated the metal box.
He suddenly understood what was in the box. It was the one that made the energy weapon for the Lunar-core army ? ? Black Gold!
Hei Sen strode towards the end of the warehouse. A gigantic alloy gate had already been opened, and a small military ship slowly descended. It rested on the platform.2
Hei Sen laughed coldly. "This time, even if I want to be undeveloped, I won't be able to do so. No one can compete against me for this enormous sum of credit!"
A cold smile surfaced on the corner of Xia Lei's mouth.
