An off-road vehicle that was like a heavy tank was speeding in the wilderness. It was extremely fast, but no sound was heard, and even energy fluctuations were isolated.

An invisible force field enveloped the entire vehicle, leaving the entire vehicle without any bumps in the rapid situation. Whether it was a swamp or a hill, the vehicles were walking on flat ground.

Occasionally, a wandering panic beast discovered the traces of the vehicle. After feeling the force field, it would choose to retreat quietly.

If you look down from the void, you will find that the trajectory of the car is completely a straight line, with almost no bending or curvature. The front of the line points directly to the black steel shelter.

The space inside the vehicle is very wide. In the cab is a woman in a tight black leather jacket. She has short elf hair and sunglasses. She occasionally looks in the car through the rearview mirror and spends most of her time focusing on driving.

Except for the cab, the rest of the vehicle was converted into a studio. An old man wearing a black Tang suit and white hair was sitting in the modified studio, carefully flipping through a paper material. Occasionally, he would pick up a pen and write and draw on a piece of white paper, as if he was calculating something.

The information was very thin, with only three thin pages of paper, but the old man seemed to be unable to finish reading it. The white paper that occupied half of the desktop was already full of various complex formulas.

After a long time, the old man put down the paper and pen in his hand and rubbed his somewhat swollen sideburns.

"Shang Yu, how long will it take to arrive at the Heigang Shelter?"

Shang Yu, who was driving, took a look at the car map.

"There are still 47% more species, and you can enter the Black Steel Shelter."

"Professor Jiang, you can take a break first, and I will remind you when I arrive."

The old man shook his head.

"I couldn't sleep before I saw this Duanmu Dragon Elephant. His data were too incredible. If the data was true, the energy problem of our Titan Plan might be solved."

Shang Yu was silent for a while and said:

"I have consulted the information about Duanmu Dragon Elephant. The information shows that he is the Minister of the War Department, the seventh-level fighting domain apocalypse. Without any research background, these information cannot be his research results."

"Of course I know it's not him." Professor Jiang smiled.

"Don't forget that Duanmu Dragon Elephant fought with the Mechanical Royal Court. I heard that it had also destroyed a war fortress on the other side. These things should be the spoils he won against the Mechanical Royal Court."

"That battle also had some problems." Shang Yu said.

"I checked the detailed information of the battle reported by the Heigang Shelter. Under normal circumstances, with his troops at that time, it was impossible to defeat the Mechanical Court unless the commander of the Mechanical Court made a big mistake!"

"According to data from our previous battles with the Mechanical Court, the Mechanical Court's battle rhythm is very rigorous and it is impossible to make mistakes at all. However, in the duel with Duanmu Dragon Elephant, the Mechanical Court made mistakes repeatedly and even the base was bombed by him, which is completely unreasonable."

The old man nodded thoughtfully.

"You mean there is something wrong with this Duanmu Dragon Elephant?"

Shang Yu nodded.

"There was originally a problem in this battle. Duanmu Dragon Elephant, as the commander of the front-line base, must be aware of this, but the war report did not explain it, and he was the most suspicious."

"If Duanmu Dragon Elephant is really wrong, then this information of his may hide the trap of the mechanical royal court."

Professor Jiang shook his head.

"The Duanmu Dragon Elephant may have problems, but these data are definitely not a problem. I have calculated several key data, which is very likely to solve the problems we encounter."

"If there is really a problem with these data, then the problem lies in its source. I have analyzed many of the sixth-order energy cores of the mechanical royal family. Although their key indicators are more advanced than our energy cores, there is still a clear gap from these data."

"Our energy core technology is said to be chasing the Mechanical Court, but it is actually just an imitation. Moreover, because of the data encryption of the Mechanical Court, our imitation has never captured the essence."

"But after comparing this data with the parameters of the Mechanical Royal Court, I vaguely feel that the energy core of the Mechanical Royal Court is also imitating. The object of imitation is the energy core in the hands of Duanmu Dragon Elephant, and their imitation also does not capture the essence."

Shang Yu seemed a little surprised when he heard this.

"You mean, these advanced technologies do not come from the mechanical royal court?"

"This is possible!" Professor Jiang said slowly.

"A long time ago, we found that the research strength of the mechanical royal court is not stronger than ours. The breakthroughs of many ordinary technologies are not ideal, but in those key technologies, they have gone very smoothly. I once suspected that there was an existence that has been guiding the mechanical royal court forward, but this speculation was not confirmed. Until I saw this invitation letter from Duanmu Dragon Elephant, I thought Duanmu Dragon Elephant might be able to give us some tips, which is also the reason why I went to the Black Steel Shelter myself."

"If we can also master the source of this technology, can we break the technological blockade of the mechanical royal court and defeat them?" Shang Yu asked.

"It's not that simple." Professor Jiang shook his head.

"Although the innovation and research of the iron lumps in the Machinery Royal Court are not very good, their cracking and replication technologies are stronger than ours. Even if we get the same advanced technology as the Machinery Royal Court, it will be difficult for us to surpass them."

Speaking of this, the old man paused for a moment, then sighed and continued:

"What's more, under the control of that supreme controller, the Mechanical Court has almost no internal friction, which is a place we will never surpass."

When Shang Yu heard this, his eyes became sharp.

"This civil strife at the Black Steel Shelter has destroyed nearly half of the buildings in the shelter and many high-level people have died. Their unscrupulous internal strife has crossed the bottom line of tolerance of the headquarters."

The old man said helplessly:

"This is also impossible. Although the headquarters is stronger, it needs to deal with the mechanical royal court, the destruction parliament, the dark nest, the land of sinking, the Holy Court of the Doomsday, and the intrigue with the Gate of Truth, the Flesh and Blood, and the Theological Society, and there is no energy to manage these shelters."

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to remember something, changed his subject and asked, "I remember Jiang Ming had been to Heigang Shelter for a while."

Shang Yu was silent for a long time and said slowly: "Eleventh year, four months and twenty-seven days."

"In other words, you two have not met in eleven years, four months and twenty-seven days." The old man said to himself.

"I decided to let Jiang Ming go to Heigang Shelter, which was why you haven't met for so long. Would you blame me?"

Shang Yu shook his head.

"He is your son, and it's your reason for you to let him leave the headquarters."

"Oh!" Professor Jiang sighed.

"Although Jiang Ming has some talent, he is far from you. I don't want him to delay you, so I deliberately let you separate. I didn't expect you to have this stubborn temper."

Shang Yu pursed his lips and stopped talking. He just occasionally lost his mind and remembered his former playmate, close friend, and lover.
