Chapter 1134: Chapter 914: Shifting Strategies: Invite the Sage Prince for a Visit

The Guardian God emerged from the machine unit once again and condensed into human form.

Then, Chifanda and Cui led the way, surprisingly not to the surface, but right next door to the Crystal Warehouse.

A blaze of fire greeted them, and Chun suddenly realized that this was the true underground smelting plant! The molten iron flowing in the pool was like the lava of Hell.

Tie introduced: "Mainly, the weather here isn’t very good, and this is also to avoid potential enemy attacks, so the main structure is built underground. The surface is primarily for rough smelting and smoke venting..."

Then Tie pointed to a machine extending down from the surface: "This is our metal cutting machine, modified from a ship’s anchor winch."

Chun looked at the machine, a bit puzzled: "This seems to be just a section of a ship’s hull?"

Tie laughed: "Yes, but it’s not important. What’s important is the hinge structure modified with a rope saw, which can extend and lengthen to the surface, allowing nearly a thousand Evil Spirits on the island to pull the rope and exert force..."

A manual version of an electric saw, right? Okay, that’s not important either.

Chun asked with interest: "What about the diamond drill bit?"

Chun found it hard to imagine how the Heart of the Ocean, such a large piece, could be tied into a rope saw. That was Siren’s lifeline; how could they be willing to use it for such rough work?

Tie said: "Go up to the surface and take a look!"

Chun then discovered that there were stairs on the ship’s hull-converted cutter, and the stairs indeed led straight to the surface workshop.

The Dragon Mother was lying beside the machinery, with a section of her chain also stuck in the machine. Outside the machine, a long pull rope extended out of the workshop.

Tie pointed to the wheel in the machine: "This is it!"

Chun thought it didn’t seem like it, not that big: "This one?"

Cui said: "Actually, it’s something the Guardian God had me replicate using Divine Stone Crystal Ore. Although we couldn’t replicate the original, it can be used as a diamond! Plus, the replication process has greatly enhanced my jewelry skills. Based on Tie’s earlier research on alloy steel components, a No. 6 diamond drill bit is required."

Ah, so it was a replica! It even had a number. That’s reliable.

The Dragon Mother said: "I can’t wait!"

Tie laughed: "Then let’s get started!"

Outside the factory, hundreds of Evil Spirits gathered, grabbing the rope as if in a tug-of-war.

With a command from Tie, the Evil Spirits pulled the rope, causing the wheel to rotate and the diamond drill to emit sparks like an arc welder. Meanwhile, another duct on the machine sprayed a cold air to freeze the chain.

Chun’s alternate self had seen this cold air on a Void Empire warship: "Liquid nitrogen?"

Tie laughed: "Yes, it’s used for fire extinguishing on high-end warships. We didn’t seize much, but it’s enough to saw off this chain."

Within a few short minutes, the thick chain was sawed open, incredibly powerful.

Tie didn’t just idle by and asked the Guardian God: "Esteemed guest, let me see the blueprint to prepare the mold in advance."

The Guardian God directly showed: "Look here! The component diagrams are as follows..."

Tie was indeed stunned: "Is this the structure of the Machine Spirit? I think..."

Chun hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

Tie laughed heartily: "I’m not very knowledgeable about machinery and most afraid of creating precision parts, but this is different. It feels very robust, perfect for me to manufacture! Making a few units in two or three days might not be a problem."

Chun got excited: "How many units?"

Chifanda said: "Actually, two units are enough. They mainly assist the Old Turtle in accelerating turns. Four units are optimal, but any more and there won’t be enough energy supply."

Tie laughed: "Still need to make more; the lack of energy supply now doesn’t mean there won’t be any in the future."

Chun truly was full of emotions. I didn’t need to do anything; it’s only been a month, and the island’s technology—no, it’s clear I’ve time-traveled a hundred years, giving the island a century’s worth of technological reserves!

The key point is that everyone on the island is working fervently, and it seems there’s no such thing as a salary. It’s completely driven by the idealistic enthusiasm of the Evil Spirits for production.

In the midst of the bustle, Siren returned: "Dear guests, rest assured, the nearby Radiation Demons have been successfully driven away, and a fresh dinner is prepared. The guests can dine at any time."

Tifa couldn’t help but ask: "Are all these seafood from the Algae Sea?"

Siren laughed: "Of course not, they’re just near Old Turtle. Because of the Algae Sea’s enclosure, many sea fish gather in the vicinity of Old Turtle, forming a relatively clean fishing ground."

Tifa was relieved: "I see!"

Chun said: "Let’s wait until the Dragon Mother’s chains are undone before eating."

Siren laughingly asked: "Oh? What about Mr. Raven?"

Ah...

Chun embarrassedly said: "I’m mechanical, I should be recharging."

Speaking of which, quite a bit of energy was consumed along the way, especially when interfacing with Ditiss.

Cui said: "My Crystal Warehouse has sufficient energy, but it cannot guarantee conversion rate and might be slow. Shouldn’t Mr. Raven recharge first?"

Chun thought for a moment: "Alright. If my recharge is slow, everyone should eat first."

In fact, only Tifa as a normal human could eat normally.

So Cui led the way, and Chun followed, returning once more to the Crystal Warehouse.

At this moment, it was just Chun and Cui, and Cui, tired of pretending, spoke with a slightly displeased tone: "City Lord!"

Chun embarrassedly said: "What?"

Cui sighed: "Bringing this Guardian God called Metatron over, can it be kept secret?"

Chun sighed: "After Siren hijacked the Prince’s airship, there’s no way to keep secrets here. The Empire should have airship positioning and will come looking sooner or later. It’s better to strive to win the favor of this Guardian God."

Cui said: "Actually, it was only when we were nearly finished mining the Divine Stone ore that we decided to take the risk and seize something. Our escape route is also planned, escaping through the Alternate Space below this Crystal Stone Ore. The replicated power is more about aiding the Old Turtle in boosting speed rather than Void propulsion, as some Dark Sea spaces themselves can also be defined as Void."
