Chapter 569: The Dead Alchemy Civilization, Forbidden-Class 【S-1 War Alchemy Dragon】

“So this is a Bio-Alchemy Civilization?”

Yu Yuan walked through the Shadow Dimension, gazing at the alchemical settlement in the real world, and couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

It was clear that the core of this settlement was the castle at its very center.

The large area closest to the castle was occupied by various alchemical machinery, factories, biochemical furnaces, cultivation pods, and nutrient fluid transport pipelines.

There was even a sizable zone dedicated to housing those bio-alchemical vehicles.

For instance, the bio-war-beast vehicles, nearly ten meters tall that he had seen before, or the Vanguard Combat Units, and so on.

These alchemical bio-vehicles were also present in the areas outside the settlement.

They were presumably there to guard the settlement's safety.

It was likely that with the death of the ‘Scorching Underground Castle’, every single one of these alchemical vehicles left behind in the city had died simultaneously.

Perhaps due to the nature of the Biological Alchemy Technology, even though several days had passed,

not a single one of them showed any signs of decay.

The entire settlement had ground to a halt.

A profound silence reigned.

On the settlement's walls, there were numerous defensive weapons, but like those alchemical creatures, all their operators were dead.

The entire defense system was completely paralyzed.

Only those alchemical machines continued to run according to their programmed routines.

Yu Yuan stepped out of the Shadow Dimension and entered the real world.

He walked into the 【Living Cultivation Pod】 area.

Dozens of transparent cultivation pods, each two meters tall, were neatly arranged in rows.

A third of the pods were already empty. The remaining two-thirds were filled with a pale green liquid, inside which were soaked humanoid creatures, curled up in a fetal position, clearly modified by alchemy.

Pale skin, robust bodies, sharply defined muscles, and all of them were completely bald.

But the most noticeable feature was the three socket-like interfaces on the back of the head, neck, and spine of these humanoid creatures.

Yu Yuan knew they must be neural interfaces.

Jiu Feng had already had people dissect the Living War Beasts that were previously killed by the Ice Crystal Spider Fiend.

They had already determined that these humanoids were the pilots of the Living War Beasts, and it was through these interfaces that they interacted with and controlled the beasts.

However, these modified humans were also dead.

He looked around, his gaze eventually settling on the ancient castle at the center of the settlement.

“I’d better loot this castle quickly. This world’s environment is actually quite suitable for vampires and werewolves to live in. Maybe Hammond can make use of this settlement.”

Yu Yuan placed great value on technological integration and reuse.

Since Hammond possessed alchemical technology, Yu Yuan saw no reason to waste it.

The subsequent actions went very smoothly. Perhaps they were extremely confident in their defensive capabilities, as he encountered no traps at all upon entering the castle.

What surprised Yu Yuan the most was discovering a massive library inside the castle.

It housed a vast number of books. Judging by their titles, they mainly focused on biology, machinery, and alchemical engineering.

——【Introduction to Living Engineering】

——【Carbon-Based Atlas: Encyclopedia of Carbon-Based Life Forms】

——【Symbiont Implantation Standard Protocol 5.0 Revised Edition】

——【Case Analysis of Biological Alchemy Accidents】

…

These books were clearly inherent technologies of the 【Bio-Alchemy Civilization】, forming a complete system.

“Jackpot!”

He immediately opened the Motel and began transporting these books.

Although Yu Yuan had already conceived the idea of turning this place into an alchemical laboratory,

he didn't have time to set it up now. He decided to take these books back first.

Yu Yuan then continued to sweep through the castle.

He successfully found the castle's treasure room, which was piled high with various biological materials.

All these biological materials were stored in special containers. In another area were some mechanical components and metal ingots.

Yu Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

What was this about? Why was this guy's collection room filled with all sorts of materials?

No equipment. No buildings.

Then he walked to the very back of the collection room, which was a display hall.

On the display screen was a blueprint for an alchemical dragon flying through the air.

It was the Western kind of dragon, with a pair of large, leathery wings.

But this dragon's body was encased in machinery. Its head, claws, wings, chest, and tail were all wrapped in silver mechanical armor.

This mechanical armor wasn't simply draped over the dragon; it had been fused with it.

Beside it was the data information for the blueprint.

…

Yu Yuan stared at the densely packed blueprint information, feeling numb.

“Holy shit…”

What the hell was this?

Was this something a Bronze-tier player could build?

He thought back to the 【Mechanist Supremacy】, a Gold-tier faction, and their ultimate biological annihilation weapon they had created—the Mechanical Apostle Unit 23.

That mechanical construct was built to ‘imitate’ a god. Back then, Yu Yuan felt they were trying to create an artificial god.

Now, looking at this 【S-1 War Alchemy Dragon】, it essentially achieved a similar effect to the 【Mechanical Apostle Unit 23】.

Yu Yuan’s fingers kept sliding across the display screen, which then showed every manufacturing detail and requirement for the 【S-1 War Alchemy Dragon】.

His heart was pounding wildly.

The more Yu Yuan looked, the more shocked he became.

He was now absolutely certain that this blueprint was definitely not something you could obtain from a Bronze-tier Golden Civilization Treasure Chest.

Yu Yuan speculated that even among Silver-tier players, those capable of manufacturing this were exceedingly rare.

Because creating this alchemical dragon would require astronomical resources and effort, definitely beyond what an ordinary Silver-tier player could bear.

This was likely a project only achievable by Gold-tier players.

Similarly, if the 【S-1 War Alchemy Dragon】 were actually built,

it would become a true strategic deterrent for the entire civilization.

Yu Yuan didn’t know about the Gold-tier, but within the Silver-tier, it would absolutely possess an overwhelming, crushing dominance.

“It seems this Bio-Alchemy Civilization was incredibly formidable! This blueprint must be an inherent part of the civilization,” Yu Yuan thought to himself.
