Ten minutes later, the starships landed on the apron in the middle of the base. Groups of fire spirits and blood monsters quickly disembarked and dispersed around.
"This old guy Gu Mu isn't too bad after all!" The second clone got off the flagship, looked around carefully, and smiled.
I don’t know whether it was because they retreated too hastily or because they planned to come back later, but many facilities in the base were not dismantled.
Even the defensive formations on the alloy city wall and the protective shield system of the pyramid are generally intact.
"General, give us two days, three days at most, to ensure that the formation and protective shield can be repaired."
The thousand craftsmen and several high-level formation masters who came from Wentian Sect were very happy.
When they saw the second clone coming, they patted their chests with confidence.
I just thought that if I finish the practice as soon as possible, I can go back early and leave this dangerous place.
"Okay!" The second avatar nodded and pointed at the three thousand fire dwarves he specially sent: "Not only must you repair it, but you must also teach daily maintenance and repair techniques to my people, otherwise the backside will be broken.
, I even asked you to come!"
Although the fire dwarf's skills are very strong, they are a bit biased, especially because they are not familiar with the formations and techniques commonly used by the sect alliance.
That's why he specially hired a group of technicians from Qiao Yong.
The sequelae is that Qiao Yong now hides when he sees him, as if seeing the god of plague.
"General, don't worry, we promise to give you everything we have and we will never delay anything!"
"Yes, yes, for the sake of our lives, we don't dare to hide it secretly!"
A group of people nodded vigorously. Although they looked down upon these alien dwarves with four arms, they could only accept it for the sake of their own lives.
"Okay, I, Chi Man, am not a stingy person. If you satisfy me, everyone will get a reward!" The second clone said with a promise that I am a good person, and secretly added in his heart.
I still want to go back and dream about it.
I'm afraid your master Qiao Yong doesn't even dare to think that you can go back.
Soon, the three-legged Golden Crow flag was raised on the architectural pyramid in the center of the base, and because it was close to the mountains behind it, the impact of infrasound waves in the base was very small.
The second clone manifested a new portal behind the pyramid on the destroyed portal.
After trying it and it could open normally, he felt relieved that even if he encountered danger, he would have a way out.
"Big man, take your people and follow me to the mine."
The second clone was still very curious about the floating stone mine. After an hour, the shielding formation of the stronghold was barely functioning, and he happily took a group of blood monsters to the mine in the back mountain.
"Hoho, boss, why are these rocks floating in the air?"
Not far from the back door of the camp, the big man was dumbfounded. Not to mention him, the second clone was also surprised.
Among the green plants as far as the eye can see, a bare road leads directly to a cave a mile away.
Surprisingly, there are many pieces of gravel floating in the air one or two meters high, as if they are weightless.
When a gust of wind passes by, it drifts with the wind, but it will automatically fly back to its original position.
"Is this the raw floating stone ore?"
The second clone stretched out his hand and gently grabbed a piece, gray in color, about the size of a fist, and without any weight.
But there is a special radiant energy that wants to flick the hand away.
With a hard squeeze, with his strength, even a piece of black iron can be turned into slag, but the gray stone in his hand only lost some dust.
It is also strange. When it is in lump form, it has no weight and floats in the air. When it becomes powder, it has weight and falls down like sand.
"Let's go in!"
The second clone took a deep breath and his eyes gleamed.
That's right, the finished floating stone mine he had seen was this kind of gray soil.
After being purified again and smelted with other materials such as metal, it also has the ability to float.
One of the most important materials for making starships, and the most scarce strategic resource for all the major forces, is this, a dust-like existence, inconspicuous, but better than gold!
Entering the mine, it looks no different from an ordinary cave, except for some extra gravel floating in the air.
There are piles of skeletal remains on the ground, some of which are humans and some of which are tauren. This one is easier to distinguish because the tauren have horns on their skulls.
The cave wall is made of light brown rock with dark green vines growing on it. Occasionally, you can see pieces of irregular gray floating ore embedded in the rock.
"The density of the ore here is too low, keep going in!"
The second clone continued to move forward with an inappropriate expression, and he was not surprised at all.
The Shaking Sky Sect abandoned its base after being attacked by tauren. The bones outside had long been eaten by giant bats, and only the bones in the mines could be preserved.
It is strange to say that all bats on Earth like to live in dark caves, but giant bats like to sleep on the ground and hatch eggs like old hens.
He was also speechless. Earth's biologists were absolutely confused when they arrived here.
"Zhizhizhi,"
After walking about a thousand meters inward, there were two forks downwards, one on the left and one on the right. The fork on the left was silent, and some small sounds could be heard on the right.
A bit like a bug, a bit like an animal like a mouse.
"Ho ho, boss, there are rats on the right." The big man sniffed his nose vigorously and wagged his tail happily.
As blood monsters, their favorite food is black rats. Not only is the meat delicious, but it is also fat and fat, just like eating meat dumplings.
"It's a gold-eating rat, you can't talk about it."
The second clone opened the ten-mile sand table and took a look. His eyes were slightly bright, and he turned and walked towards the fork on the right.
According to the Shili sand table, the mine tunnel on the left side has deviated from the ore vein and is an abandoned mine tunnel.
The mine tunnel on the right is only on the mineral vein, and there are densely packed small dots moving around.
If he guessed correctly, it was a gold-eating rat, a rare species of rat raised by humans and used exclusively for mining. It is rare to see it on the market.
Its characteristic is that its claws and teeth are sharp, and it also has a special ability that can break through many very hard ores, making it very suitable for mining floating ores.
"Ho ho, I don't like gold-eating rats. They pierce their mouths when they eat them. I like bamboo rats!" The big man shook his head unhappily. He preferred the fat bamboo rats to the sharp-toothed gold-eating rats.
"You foodie, gold-eating rats are a rare species, and one can be exchanged for a group of bamboo rats!"
The second clone cursed angrily, turned a corner, and saw several half-meter-tall, metallic black-haired mice, staring curiously with their small eyes.
When he found out it was a human being, his little eyes lit up. Instead of running away, he happily gathered around him, shouting "Zhi Zhi Zhi".
