At this time, people all over the world are sleeping.
Time is unified in the metaverse, and there is no time difference.
Squeak...
The heavy iron door of the underground fortress opened, and the steel slid on the rusty rails, making a harsh noise from friction.
In the virtual world, everything still changes according to established "laws". Apples will rot and metals will rust. Everything is the same as in the real world.
The light inside the fortress shines out, and from a distance, it looks like a giant flashlight.
Xiao Ran came out first.
He turned around and said something.
The light immediately dimmed, so dark that only the figure of the other party could be seen, and the face was blurred.
Xiao Ran listened intently, but there was no movement within several square kilometers.
Not even a mouse.
Thousands of mechanical mouse scouts sent by the enemy had been wiped out by 100,000 ant mechanics.
Xiao Ran walked aside.
Yao walked out second.
Under the dim light, her figure looked particularly slim and toned.
She wears a silvery-white light battle suit that changes to black depending on the environment. Her suit is a combination of genes and metal. It is a strange intelligent life form. It is also in the process of continuous evolution. Soon, it should evolve
Stealth function.
"Brother?"
Yao asked softly, with a sense of uncontrollable excitement in her tone.
She is becoming more and more like a girl.
Xiao Ran thought happily and uttered two words.
"action."
"yes, Sir!"
Yao nodded, turned around and waved.
Zhang Laohu led an army of thousands of people and marched out in all directions.
Everyone was carrying a big iron box on their backs and holding something like a chimney in their hands.
15 minutes later.
Zhang Huhu came back from running and reported.
“Everything is in place!”
Ge Ye and Yuchen also ran out of the fortress, Ge Ye reported.
"Ready!"
Everyone looked at Xiao Ran, trying hard to see his expression clearly in the dimness.
He was as calm and smiling as before.
Nothing makes people feel more at ease than a leader who is as stable as Mount Tai.
"Then," Xiao Ran said, "let the enemy witness the miracle!"
"Yes!" everyone said together.
Ant Mechanic is out!
The speed is 10 times faster than usual, like a white river rushing out.
Yao had already positioned himself on the ground.
The ants communicate with each other through wireless signals and can break down the tasks in a very short time. Each ant knows exactly what it should do.
This is a mechanical group that has achieved a high degree of self-organization.
"Self-organization" and "self-evolution" are the two major characteristics of future mechanical life.
Quickly clear and level the site.
The foundations of the pyramid gradually appeared.
5am.
The ant mechanic begins to carry steel bricks.
As Regina initially calculated, seven ants carrying a steel brick weighing more than 500 kilograms could carry 14,285 bricks at a time.
Xiaoru Zeng naively asked a question: Can't we make more ant mechanics?
This question is indeed very childish.
Within limited space, time and resources, the more ant mechanics are not the better, but there is an optimal efficiency ratio.
Less is not enough, and too much is useless.
Xiao Ran's powerful mind has long been able to discern everything and control everything.
The appearance of a young man and the wisdom of thousands of years create a unique person from ancient times!
It's just that he habitually conceals his own strength.
Just like in legends, gods often incarnate as a mortal, even a beggar.
But he didn't hide his innocence.
Yesterday, he took Smith and Yao for a ride, which caused a stir among the residents of the fortress. Oh my god, the saint actually has a playful side!
That guy Smith is really pitiful. The saint showed compassion towards him, which just proves that the saint is so big that he can hold up mountains and seas.
However, Yuchen, Regina and Xiaoru felt quite disappointed. They had agreed to go for a ride together, but the eldest brother took Yao to have fun first... Hey, it's not a big deal, but saying it out loud seems to be petty...
6:23 am.
Steel bricks have been stacked to a height of 1 meter.
Under the dim dim light, the silver light shone.
The square steel foundation with a height of 1 meter and a length of 199 meters is shocking to people. It feels extremely heavy and solid.
I can't imagine how majestic the 99-meter-high steel pyramid must be!
Xiao Ran ran around the foundation and checked it carefully. He found no problems and it was exactly the same as the design drawings.
He was very satisfied and said to Yao.
"It's time to release the smokescreen."
"yes, Sir!"
Yao bowed to accept the order and issued the order.
Thousands of people deployed 1,000 smoke machines in all directions and activated them at the same time.
The large iron boxes they carry are actually pulse-type air sprayers, which can quickly absorb moisture in the air and turn it into mist, which repeats the cycle.
A few minutes later, the entire homeless camp was shrouded in heavy fog.
People can't see their fingers.
The next work is left to the ant mechanics.
They don't need sight, and fog and darkness have no effect on them.
"Everyone in your place!"
Yao shouted and people rushed to their posts.
Or monitor sky movements through radar.
Or stick to the laser cannon position.
Or add lubricant to the machine.
Or send the waste to an energy converter.
Or cook food for nearly ten thousand people…
Everyone is busy and busy with unparalleled passion.
Yao and Ge Ye went back and forth to inspect and coordinate to deal with various problems.
…
Around 9:30 am.
In the villa.
Xiao Ran finished his breakfast, holding a cup of strong tea and sipping it carefully.
It's not expensive tea, but ordinary jasmine tea.
His father, Xiao Feng, was a rough man who never did anything arty and drank the most common jasmine tea on the market.
This simple family tradition was passed on to Xiao Ran, and he became accustomed to the taste of jasmine tea.
Yuchen, Regina and Xiaoru sat aside and looked at him.
"Why don't you go to school yet?" Xiao Ran asked in surprise.
"I am the principal. The teachers and students have made arrangements and everything is normal." Yuchen said.
"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable today, so I asked for leave," Xiaoru said.
Xiao Ran said "Oh".
In the final analysis, both of them were just looking for excuses to accompany Xiao Ran.
It was up to them to say what Xiao Ran could say to such a white lie.
"I'm ready, brother," Regina said, "You can take me on air patrols to fight against the Flying Knights!"
"Recuperate for two more days, Regina, don't be anxious, you are preparing your strength." Xiao Ran said.
The three girls were silent and watched him drink tea.
soon.
Yao's voice came from the intercom.
"Brother, there are flying motorcycles in the sky, about two hundred of them."
"receive."
Xiao Ran replied, smiled slightly at the girls, and said.
