Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

After hearing Howard's instructions, Om Messiah calculated for a moment and replied, "Master, please give more precise instructions."

"What do you mean by more...precise instructions?" Howard wondered.

"Master, 'Leave here' can be interpreted in many ways. Do you mean leaving your house, leaving this area, or leaving this city? Different commands will correspond to different paths."

Howard: "I want to leave this planet."

After hearing Howard's answer, a buffering circle continued to appear on Om Messiah's screen. After a long while, it replied, "Master, I'm sorry, I can't do that at the moment."

"What's wrong?" Howard asked in confusion. "If you can communicate with machine spirits, why not ask the machine spirit of any ship to let me in and give me a ride?"

Ohm Messiah: "Master, I can perform the operation you mentioned, but I can't find a suitable target at the moment."

Howard: "What do you mean?"

Om Messiah: "Master, I've checked the docking records at the airport. Currently, the only ships docked there are small ones. The only large ship is transporting radioactive materials. Based on my calculations, the chances of you safely leaving this planet aboard this vessel are practically zero."

"Ah, this..." Howard scratched his head, "This is a bit difficult..."

"Master, based on your request to avoid danger, I have another option for you." Just when Howard was in trouble, Om Messiah said again.

"What plan?" Howard asked.

Then the front camera of Om Messiah turned on, projecting the outer outline of the entire Kalimdor Hive. Judging from the outline alone, the Kalimdor Hive looked like a big radish with a well-developed root system buried in the soil.

Howard looked for a long time before he understood why the structural diagram of this hive city was completely different from what he saw with his naked eyes, because this structural diagram also showed the underground part of the hive city. If you only look at the above-ground part, the hive city Alinkado is a huge and steep mountain with several peaks.

At the highest peak of the mountain range, a thin line stretched upward, which was three times the height of the hive city, and at the top of the line was a huge ring.

This is the space elevator and airport of Planet Natt.

But if you look at the structural diagram, you'll understand that, in addition to the above-ground portion, the underground portion of the hive city is equally vast and astonishing. Howard mentally estimated that if the airport's location were in Nate's synchronous orbit, then the highest elevation of the hive city, Alinkado, would likely exceed Mount Everest on Earth and nearly reach Olympus Mons on Mars. The portion of the hive city extending underground would likely have already dug through the Earth's crust.

"Answer the master, you are now in the core area of the upper level of the hive." Om Messiah did not notice Howard thinking too much. As He spoke, He marked the tip of the highest peak of Kalimdor in yellow.

"The resource allocation here is the highest in the entire Kalimdor, but at the same time, it also has the most law enforcers and secret sentries." Then Om Messiah enlarged the yellow area and marked a green dot in the core part of this area.

“This green dot is where you are now,” Om Messiah explained.

Then a straight line extended from the green dot, winding all the way and finally arrived at the location of the space elevator. Then the numbers went up along the space elevator and arrived at the airport.

But there are many red crosses on the path where the green line segment passes.

"If your guess is correct, and there is a powerful person in the hive city who wants to harm you, then you will encounter many interrogations and obstructions if you take this route, especially when entering the space elevator to the airport, you will encounter at least three strict inspections, so this route is not advisable." said Om Messiah.

Howard: “!”

Ohm Messiah: "Master? I just detected abnormal fluctuations in your heart rate. What happened?"

"Om Messiah, I remember in my old world, there was a scientific theory that suggested the outside world could determine a person's thoughts by detecting the electrical activity in their cerebral cortex." Howard suddenly changed the subject. "Om Messiah, do you have this ability? Or something similar?"

Om Messiah paused for a moment before speaking, "Master, I don't currently possess this ability. While it's theoretically possible to read the human brain's electrical activity by connecting to special equipment, without a specific comparison, even if I could read the electrical activity, I wouldn't be able to analyze the human brain's thoughts when those waves were generated."

Howard: "Oh..."

Ohm Messiah: "Master, could you please tell me why you are asking me this question so suddenly?"

Howard looked away and replied, "If you could read human thoughts directly, you could read the tax collector's thoughts just now. Maybe you could determine whether his actions were simple extortion or were directed by someone else."

Ohm Messiah: "I'm sorry, Master. I'd love to fulfill your request, but I simply can't."

Howard smiled and shook his head. "It's okay. Go ahead. Since leaving this planet is such a difficult task, assuming my guess is correct, do you have any good plans for dealing with this situation?"

After the order was given, Howard saw that the yellow color of the upper layer that was originally marked in the outline of the hive structure projected by Om Messiah disappeared. After the mark on the upper layer disappeared, a large area below was marked.

"Master, this area is where the Hive's factories are concentrated, which is the middle layer of the Hive. It is difficult for the upper echelons of the Hive to effectively supervise this area." As he spoke, a green line extended from the green dot representing Howard's residence on the projection of Om Messiah, and finally passed through a bridge-like structure and entered the middle layer of the Hive.

This new route is not only shorter than the previous one, but there is no red cross in the middle of the route.

"There will be no checkpoints on the road from the upper level of the hive to the middle level of the hive. According to my calculations, you can reach your destination safely and easily." said Om Messiah.

"But I heard that the middle level of the hive is very chaotic, and the material conditions are far worse than here. I don't know anyone in the middle level of the hive..." Howard was still a little worried after hearing the advice of Om Messiah.

Ohm Messiah: "Don't worry, Master. I'm here. I'll do my best to help you hide and survive in the middle level."

Howard was stunned for a moment, then looked at Om Messiah and said, "Yeah, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to get here on my own."
