Alien Dust

Chapter 361: Universal Network
……

Early in the morning, Wu Hen climbed up the mechanical ladder step by step.

The entire underground working area of ​​Steel Eagle City is like a small kingdom, with countless slave workers living in it.

Even though they were all labor slaves, they were divided into different levels.

The closer they are to the ground, the more reasonable the resources allocated to them.

In fact, during the days when the people of Prison Town were working, Iron Eagle City was hunting crazily, and they swallowed up a mining town and three forestry villages one after another.

With the addition of new slave workers, more than 3,000 people in the prison town also moved to the upper level, closer to the sunny ground.

In the past, everyone basked in the warm sunshine every day, ate the freshest food, and did the simplest and most rustic work. Life was peaceful and comfortable.

But now, just being closer to the sun and feeling the warmth coming from the earth's surface, everyone feels a long-lost sense of happiness. When they think that only by working harder can they return to their original lives, everyone keeps saying words of encouragement.

Wu Hen followed Le Wei and quickly ascended to the ground city area.

He looked along the neatly arranged city streets and saw a majestic mountain range. The ground of the entire city was level with the tops of these towering mountains, and the fog that filled the city was the clouds from the sky.

The blue sky is within reach, and even the sun is a size bigger than usual. On some special city observation decks, you can even look through two special glass screens and directly overlook the vast land below through the layers of underground work areas. Mountains, rivers, lakes, canyons, and green forests are all in sight...

At first Wu Hen thought that Iron Eagle City was resting on the top of the mountain most of the time, but he never imagined that this city was hovering in the sky most of the time.

The huge city is truly like a majestic eagle, bathing in the scorching sun and patrolling its territory like a king.

Although all the high-rise buildings are uneven, they present a streamline as a whole. They are the soaring feathers of this steel city, which not only house countless citizens of this city, but also provide high-altitude floating wind power for the entire city. As the wings flap slowly, the Eagle City, where tens of thousands of people live, continues to fly at an astonishing speed.

There is not a single giant machine or dark engine device to be seen in the entire city. On the surface, it is not much different from a minimalist city, and the city layout is similar to that in Home. However, Wu Hen, who has lived here for a while, knows that this is a realm that is far from being achieved by Home's technology. It is hard to imagine that such a huge object can travel at a speed even more exaggerated than a fighter jet, and any means by which it can create impact kinetic energy that exceeds that of a super meteorite. The most incredible thing is that its internal structure is quite flexible, which violates the resistance in Home's physics.

Is this dark energy?

How do they discover it, how do they obtain it, and how do they use it?
When their home world first fell into an alien dimension, much of humanity's technology became obsolete, and even the most powerful firepower was not enough to contend with the predators in the alien wasteland. In addition, the alien's divine finger shook the entire human cognition, causing humanity to live in fear of the cosmic cultivators for a long time. It also set off an undercurrent of technological uselessness, causing more and more people to devote themselves to the alien evolution and abandon the technologies they had worked so hard to develop.

But the facts have proved that technology is still extremely powerful. The most important point about its existence is that it creates every individual life equally, allowing some people who are naturally disadvantaged to kill gods as long as they master technological weapons.

In a true technological powerhouse, even gods and immortals have to behave themselves. Anyone who dares to abuse their extraordinary powers will be thrown into a biochemical pool to generate electricity for them like a battery.

"No wonder the higher-dimensional insects want to implant the fear gene into the entire human race."

"Among the myriad human races, some technological humans are truly terrifying. This Iron Eagle City should have the power to hunt down the black rhinoceros beetle."

This means that humans, who have mastered powerful technology, are still at the top of the cosmic food chain, but the humans in Nuwa's home world are still in a low dimension and need to go through various disasters before they can evolve.

Passing through the bustling minimalist urban area, Wu Hen discovered that the prosperity here was very similar to that of his hometown city, with beautiful green plants planted everywhere. The beautiful purple-blue vines and verdant street forests concealed the smell of steel and concrete.

From this we can see that people love technology because it can bring a more convenient and refined life. At the same time, people also have a psychological aversion to technology and do not want their lives to be filled with technological products. The cyberpunk future city looks quite gorgeous and incredible at first glance, but in fact it goes against people's aesthetics... People's aesthetics will return to nature. Even if it is a city of steel eagles, its living area is covered with a large amount of vegetation, and artificial smelting materials are reduced as much as possible as far as the eye can see. They will hide all heavy machinery and engines in invisible places underground.

Of course, as people enjoy the convenience of technology and yearn for the return of beauty, there will inevitably be a group of people who are forced to accept the roar of machines, industrial pollution, and the radiation and mutation of technology.

Standing in this extremely prosperous silver-gray city, Wu Hen could not feel at ease to feel the beauty of this place. After all, he came out from underground and knew that all the people here were stepping on the flesh and blood of the lower-class slave workers...

The same is true of annexation. When Iron Eagle City annexed Prison Town and other villages, the means it adopted were so barbaric and without any principles. Once you know that they always follow this mode of operation, you can only sigh that their plundering method has brought them strength, and you can't feel awe and good feelings for them from the bottom of your heart. The way the warden Levi handled it was more humane, and the residents of the small village also unconsciously integrated into it, and there was harmony and love.

Wu Hen is one of the explorers and navigators of Nuwa Shenduan.

Naturally, we will also look for lives with similar ideas in this alien wasteland and make friends with more cosmic allies with the same ideas.

"Warren, do you want to be mayor?" Wu Hen suddenly asked while walking on the road.

"Mayor? Don't underestimate me. Even if you give me a capital, I can easily control it. Please change the way you address me in the future. The warden is only temporary. I am the head of state!" said the warden Le Wei.

Wu Hen's thoughts were in a mess for a moment, and it took him a long time to remember what he was about to say: "Our town has been broken down into the raw materials of this Eagle City. I don't know which street or which engine it has been mixed into. The only way for us to take back the town is to seize power and usurp the throne and become the mayor of this Iron Eagle City." "Good idea, then you have to assassinate the mayor, the deputy mayor, the six senior officials of the Energy Institute, the nine chiefs of life command, the ten chiefs of combat command, all the strategists of the decision-making court, all the directors of the senior technical departments, and kill the presidents of the conference courts in each district... As for the dozens of mayors at the same level as me, you don't need to do it. I can stand out from them myself." Le Wei said unhappily.

If the upper echelons of Iron Eagle City were compared to the imperial palace, and all the senior officials were courtiers, then Le Wei, the mayor in charge of the prison, would be a ninth-rank official. Even if the entire court was wiped out by the immortals, it would be difficult for him to make the decision.

"Aren't you and the mayor classmates?" Wu Hen asked.

“So what? Can the careers of those with backers and those without backers be the same?” Le Wei said unhappily.

"Do you have any way to be promoted to the Energy Institute? To start up such a large city, a large amount of dark energy is needed... Although constantly replenishing energy by plundering is a good survival mode, if we can adopt safer collection methods and reduce unnecessary plundering wars, wouldn't we be able to be more prosperous and powerful?" Wu Hen began to put forward his own suggestions.

This land is full of spiritual energy!

As expected of Cang Chu Shendu, the quality of spiritual energy is extremely high. Wu Hen knows clearly where they are located, and he will definitely be able to find more majestic spiritual veins. What he lacks now is a legal collection authority. He does not want to be issued a universe wanted order by the Daxuan Dynasty.

"If we win this battle and play a key role, there should be hope." Le Wei reacted quickly and immediately understood Wu Hen's hint.

Le Wei remembered that when he arrested Wu Hen, Wu Hen was planning to collect a dark energy spring.

But dark energy springs are extremely illusory, and it is difficult for towns and cities with advanced exploration equipment to find a spring...

"I will do my best to help you." Seeing that the old man understood, Wu Hen didn't say anything more.

"Do you have any hidden talents?" Levi asked in a low voice.

"It may be difficult for me to fight against Iron Eagle City or defeat Grand Canyon City, but I think I still have the ability to tip the balance of victory towards one of them." Wu Hen showed enough confidence.

"I understand, hehe." Levi nodded.

"The future head of state."

"No, no, future Imperial Master."

The two complimented each other and planned a beautiful blueprint for the future.

But once they entered the armory which was similar to a workshop and looked at the mountains of metal ammunition and the rusty weapons that needed to be sorted like garbage, the smiles on their faces disappeared in an instant, just like two workers who had just returned from shopping and dived into a dark electronics factory to tighten screws, going from heaven to hell.

"These weapons are already a stage behind the times. Even if they are reloaded, they won't be of much use. My mediocre old classmate always likes to waste manpower on these meaningless things." Levi complained while working.

"Are these Iris missiles on the wings?"

"They are all antique weapons. The person in charge here obviously doesn't understand how they work. If there were experts in antique technology, they could bring out their value. Antique weapons can penetrate some protective layers and play a miraculous role in battles driven by dark energy." Levi said.

"I have friends who are very proficient in it." Wu Hen said.

The "antique weapons" mentioned by Levi are actually the most advanced thermal weapons technology of the human beings in their homeland, which are basically installed on the Emperor Mecha.

Wu Hen himself knows nothing, but he has an entire scientific team led by Li Feng behind him.

"Do you have a way to get some pure Yuanyou? It doesn't have to be a particularly high-grade one. I can use it to transmit information."

"Just spend money to buy it. I have some savings."

"Then I'll find an antique expert to handle it for you. You can conduct a virtual scan of all the weapons here and then transmit them to me." Wu Hen said.

"Okay." Levi went to the main control room and quickly downloaded the information of these antique weapons. "You are not a Xuanzhen practitioner, so why do you make friends with this kind of people? Do your friends have virtual projection technology?"

"Yes." Wu Hen nodded.

"That's great, it's like being connected to the cosmic network!" Levi nodded.
