Hundreds of meters away, a long-tailed lizard twists its body, representing the operator's uneasy mood.
Under the "provocation" of the magic talisman, the conversation between "Brother Qiang" and "Brother Aka" has basically explained their origins. They escaped from the "Deep Blue World" and "Area 13" to the outer earth.
"Fugitives", and the "shelter" that appears many times in "Brother Qiang"'s words confirms another layer of their identity:
Member of the Order of Souls.
Moreover, there is a high probability that he is a member of the "True Soul Order".
This is logical and consistent with some basic facts Ronan understands.
However, the introverted "Brother Aka" is just that. The information revealed in the words of that "Brother Qiang" made Ronan somewhat confused, and he couldn't understand it half-heartedly: The structure in front of him is built on the metamorphic rock formations that rise and fall.
, with a "processing plant" that far exceeds the technological level of earth's civilization, is it actually a "sanctuary"?
Is it the "sanctuary" that Ronan knew about?
It was imitated by his mother Bu Qingwen from the life-saving capsule of the Tianyuan Empire, and transformed from a physical mechanical structure into a spiritual visualization structure; from a "placebo" to suppress human body distortion, it slowly developed into a joint construction of people's consciousness interaction
"Shelter"?
Ronan couldn't be sure.
"Shelter" is transformed from a spiritual structure into an entity, which sounds quite scary, but Ronan, who is "well-informed", can accept it. After all, the source of "Shelter" is a physical mechanical structure, because a certain
For this reason, it would not be surprising to complete another transformation. After all, the "Reclamation Group" is here, and the "Thought Star Cluster"'s technical system is also leaking, so it can completely meet the necessary conditions.
But what is the function of a "processing plant"?
If Ronan understood correctly, this "sanctuary", well, this "lava island" was not originally constructed by the resistance, the "Reclamation Corps" or any other force, but the transformation of "sanctuary"?
Well, this statement is a bit mysterious and cannot be speculated too much.
But the most basic fact is: "Lava Island" is a black box, and this is the case for "Brother Aka" and "Brother Qiang".
The two of them lacked sufficient understanding of the operating principles of "Lava Island" and were confused about its basic functions and had no direction, let alone its essence. The way they used "Lava Island" turned out to be "feeding" and transporting production line equipment.
, components or other scrapped, smuggled omnics, and then feeding them to the lava island, there will be output...
According to this statement, rather than "using", it is better to say that the "lava island" digested, absorbed and grew by itself, and then completed the first and second phase of the project transformation.
After all, Brother Aka and the others are just porters?
It does sound absurd and unreliable. No wonder Aka has reservations about it.
However, that "Brother Qiang" was obviously more determined and fanatical about it, well, a more accurate statement is that he was determined because of his fanaticism.
Ronan has his own unique emotional foundation for "Sanctuary", but he is also somewhat dissatisfied with the performance of "Brother Qiang". In the current environment, in the proven history of the Central Star Region, this kind of religious fanaticism
Behavior and cognition undoubtedly pose huge risks to those involved.
As for the functions displayed by the "Lava Island" itself, as long as there is a "super artificial intelligence" similar to "Aunt Kui" in it, which can fully control the core mechanical equipment, with such a design, the Tianyuan Empire and the Central Sector can completely
Do it...
While Ronan was thinking this, he saw "Brother Qiang" with his metal forehead pressed against the "Heat Dissipation Wall", murmuring that his soul power structure and magic talisman were detected at close range, and it was determined to be a known version of "Shelter"
The structure is clearly embedded in the wall that roars and discharges heat in front of you.
Inside the wall, there must be a matching structure to complete the interaction.
Because at this moment, the invisible protective shield outside "Brother Qiang" was shattered, but his physical and spiritual frame was simultaneously connected to the waste heat discharged from the "heat exhaust wall" and spit out, as if he had also become a "heat dissipation vent"
", has also become a part of the "Heat Exhaust Wall" or even the "Lava Island".
Therefore, his body has been deformed and alienated, but under the constraints of the soul power, it is generally within a controllable range.
The spirit and entity interfere with each other without any difficulty, smoothly and naturally.
Ah this...
Ronan is extremely sensitive in this field. With the help of veterans and the information revealed in his dreams, he has completed the transition from "Placebo" to "Shelter", from the Wilderness Laboratory period to "The Seven Parts" and "The Crossing" in early May this year.
The last contact with the "True Soul Order" and the sorting out of all the structures of the whole process.
Therefore, he quickly discerned that the familiar "Sanctuary" structure was not the latest version currently used by the seven cross-sections, but the 57th version that was three versions apart, that is, the "True Soul Order" and various organizations on the earth.
The last version before the division was cut off from communications.
This version was released in September and October last year, before the collapse of the "True Soul Order".
So, this “strong brother” only came here last year?
Or is it that someone else will teach you later?
I feel that the latter is more likely, because judging from the conversation between "Brother Qiang" and "Brother Aka" and judging from Ronan's current understanding of the situation, the "Lao Gu" they built together with "Lao Gu"
"Lava Detachment" has a history of several years. Last year, the time was not right, and a team of this size could not be formed.
Thinking about it this way, there are really a lot of "escapees" within the "Lava Detachment".
This is the favorite goal of the "Reclamation Corps".
But the question is, if "Brother Qiang" can change the version, can the physical structure of "Lava Island" also be changed?
Converting from the "old version" when "Brother Qiang" and others came over to the 57th version?
During the existence of several versions before version 57, it was the time when the competition for dominance between the "True Soul Order" and the spies sent by Levi was the most intense, and there was basically no "compatibility" option.
But the fact now is that the physical structure of "Lava Island" can completely match the fanatic believers like "Brother Qiang" to complete the comprehensive interaction of spirit and matter... If this is true, it really seems to have some kind of "supernatural power"
.
This is tantamount to automatically making a "configuration" correction. It is based on the structural framework of the spiritual level and the modification of the physical entity. The 57th version of "Shelter" is already the same as the structure of the original "life-saving cabin".
There is a huge difference, even if there is relevant information, it is difficult to copy it.
At the very least, "Aunt Kui" would not be able to complete similar work independently without Ronan's intervention and correction.
Even if she has the highest authority of the "relay station".
Well, when will this "strong brother" leave?
Ronan was suddenly looking forward to the results of his comprehensive inspection and analysis of "Lava Island" after this man left.
This place should be a place known to very few people, at most only a few "escapees". And it is obviously difficult to stay in this ghost place for a long time. Even if you are rotated, you may not be able to make up for the 24-hour cycle - even if you can
Once you have enough, you don’t need to do anything else.
Judging from the whereabouts of "Brother Aka" during this period, this is obviously not the case.
Ronan just wanted to wait patiently for an opportunity.
And that "strong brother", if possible, should also leave a mark to determine his position.
While he was thinking about it, the long-tailed lizard swimming around suddenly froze.
The nearby magic talisman completely transmitted the situation over there. So, Ronan watched "Brother Qiang"'s metal forehead sinking into the "heat dissipation wall" that spewed heat, and then his arms, shoulders... the whole
body.
This situation is even easier and smoother than the previous experience of walking through soft fluid rocks.
On the "heat dissipation wall", even the traces of sinking and cracking quickly disappeared and remained intact.
Can it still be like this?
The magic talisman continued to transmit back the situation outside the "Heat Exhaust Wall", which could be regarded as "recording" the entire process of "Brother Qiang" and "Lava Island" continuing to interact and even integrate.
In essence, it is still the interference between the soul power and the material structure. The details still need to be explained, but it can be basically believed that "Brother Qiang" does not have the ability to forcefully change the material structure. His "shelter" structure can only be considered "open" at best.
The key to Lava Island.
And...it's not over yet!
The "Heat Exhaust Wall" here has been restored to integrity, but a large piece of the "Lava Island" on the other side has clearly been "eaten".
A more accurate description is: This irregular "building" built on metamorphic rock formations 45 kilometers underground is slowly "retreating" into the depths of the soft, hot and rotten rock formations - not rising or falling, nor tilting or moving.
Instead, it enters behind the thick "curtain" and then disappears without a trace.
Okay... officially upgraded to a supernatural event.
But it's not a ghost story.
Ronan could identify it: the material of the "curtain" was "time and space", more precisely, it was a demiplane.
He is very sure. Because he accepted the first "offline test" of external neurons and made this type of plan, digging a hole for himself at the "relay station"; and in the "test time and space", in Pupil Ring-28758
On the asteroid No. 1, at least a thousand hours (Tianyuan standard) were spent carrying out corresponding engineering construction, or simply staying there.
To say that Ronan is an expert in this field may be an exaggeration; but to say that he is a proficient person is definitely not an exaggeration.
But...a demiplane?
Even if the "Reclamation Corps" comes to Earth and has the technical capabilities to establish a "demiplane", does it have the corresponding resources?
If not, how much effort can any force with this "technology + resources" put into crushing the "reclamation group"?
To put it bluntly, if this is not a "demi-plane", what is it?
Some kind of ability to distort time and space?
If this is true, wouldn’t the surveillance signal in the Yuan District explode?
That "Brother Qiang"... how did "Lava Island" do it?
Well, looking at it this way, the possibility that "Lava Island" is a trap set by the "Reclamation Group" has increased again.
After being stunned for a moment, Ronan suddenly realized that now is the time to make a decision:
The magic talisman is extremely sensitive to the spiritual realm, but to fully explore the details of the time and space environment, it is inevitable to go down to the material level, thus losing its concealment.
Now, he either rushes over to investigate or leaves immediately.
The former may also capture traces of space-time distortion and fit, which can be further inferred, but in the unpredictable "demi-plane" surrounding environment, there is a huge risk of exposure; the latter can continue to hide in the dark...
The next second, the long-tailed lizard swung its body and pounced on the area that looked no different from other soft, high-temperature rock formations.
Exposing the magic talisman is the stupidest thing, and Ronan's nesting of identities is not just to have a multi-faceted experience, to stir up conflicts on the "outer earth", to come into contact with the "reclamation group", and to come into contact with the possible existence here
Secret?
What's there to hesitate about?
Even if it is really exposed, the time has come for the value of "New Wildfire" to be reflected.
