Chapter 1548 Under the Babel Tower

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The clear sky in the distance, the sea as calm as a mirror, and the huge tower standing in the center of this mirror-calm ocean - no matter how many times he sees it with his own eyes, Byron can't help but be fascinated by the amazing legacy left by this sailor.  Creation is deeply shocking.

    Even though he controls a powerful war machine like the Bitter Winter, even if he has an entire fleet at his disposal, he can't help but feel awe when he comes to the foot of the giant tower that reaches the sky.

    But while this awe came to his mind, he couldn't help but think of what Gawain once said to him: One day, the civilization on this planet will develop to the same height as the sailors, and mortals will also  Giant towers leading to space will be built, giant steel cities will be built outside the atmosphere, and the ships of the next generation will fly across the stars like light. What the sailors can do, all living beings on this planet can also do.

    The Bitter Winter has docked, and Byron took the landing craft to the landing site on the southeast side of the giant steel island. He looked back at the edge of the landing site and saw a part of the large machinery extending from the engineering ship undergoing intense and orderly loading and unloading operations.  A lifting device as tall as the castle's main building extends from the side of the engineering ship to the coast. The anti-gravity runes on the bottom of the transfer pallet shine in the sun. The heavy and huge components are carried ashore lightly and quickly become part of the new dock.  Or sent to the tower after being initially reorganized.

    On the other side of the landing site, you can see a large number of barracks and other base facilities built with prefabricated parts. The towering magic obelisk is slowly rotating on a platform in the center of the base, and the surging energy it releases maintains the base's stability.  operation, while also providing additional energy supplies for the equipment that had just been moved from the dock. Several officers stationed at the base came out to carry out handover work with the imperial fleet, and new supplies were moved into the warehouse behind them.  .

    That base was set up when the "Sky Maintenance Engineering Team" set out, and has been in operation for less than half a year. It serves as the ground command center and logistics support point for the engineering force in space, and also serves as the engineering personnel returning from space.  It is a "ground rest station" for them to take a temporary rest and adjust their status. The people stationed at the base are the most loyal and outstanding soldiers of the empire, and there is a considerable proportion of technical soldiers and mechanical sergeants among them. Although they are unable to do so due to the limitations of the launcher's safety system,  They went to the sky to perform missions, but even during the days they stayed on the ground, they completed a large amount of research and sampling work on the remains of the Voyager while maintaining the operation of the base.

    In Byron¡¯s heart, this imperial research force stationed deep in the vast ocean are all soldiers worthy of admiration. The barracks under their feet are the farthest frontier of the empire¡ªit can even be called the farthest frontier of the civilized world.

    Directly east of the landing site, on another coastline adjacent to the human dock, is another separately constructed coastal facility. The buildings and mechanical facilities there are completely different from the "style" familiar to the land races.  The large number of architectural structures shaped like shells or corals as well as the ubiquitous water tanks and suspended pure water balls make people think of the deep sea, and the beautiful figures busy between those wonderful buildings and facilities (and  (Abstract figure) makes it possible to tell at a glance who created this port.  .

    That was the harbor built by the Sirens, and it was named "Siren". Due to the time difference, Byron was not able to see with his own eyes how this huge harbor was built, but according to reports stationed at the "Imperial Port"  "The soldiers described that the "Siren Port" "rised" from the bottom of the sea almost overnight - the Sirens used some extraordinary technology to transform an old port that was originally located near their capital "Antavien"  It was "plucked" directly from the seabed, then equipped with giant thrusters and driven directly to the waters southwest of Loren, and "installed" on the base of the orbital elevator within a few hours. The scene was said to be quite spectacular.

    Byron deeply regretted that he could not see the construction process of "Siren Port" with his own eyes. In this regard, his Siren friends were very generous. This group of deep-water creatures with deep brains said that they could dismantle the Siren Port and rebuild it.  Going to the Steel Island to "fight" once was just like performing a show for the friendly forces. They were idle anyway Byron thought about it for three days, but in the end he was too embarrassed to accept it.

    As for now, the "Siren Port" side is also in a very busy state like the Imperial Port side. The "Dinghai Pingbian Mighty General" has docked at the moment, and the amazingly large submarine cargo ship is steaming with great momentum.  The water mist slowly opened the warehouse door, and a large number of strange sea monsters fell into the giant pool next to the dock like seafood unloaded from the cabin. Next to the pool, there was another group of sea monsters, who were directing.  While unloading, they used various fishing equipment to catch their sisters

    At the same time, in a certain "element field" constructed near the submarine cargo ship, you can also see many hazy and large-scale things gradually taking shape.Then he reached out and took the box, but the weird expression on his face did not fade at all: "You actually know how to prepare gifts? Has your brain been affected by something after staying with the Siren for a long time?"

    As she spoke, she took a look at the box in her hand and found that it was just an ordinary rough wooden box with poorly made patterns carved on the surface. It felt like it could be bought at the market for three copper coins.  Anything that cost more than four copper coins would cause the stall to be smashed by passers-by. But after opening the box, she saw a beautifully crafted and shaped coin lying quietly in the dark velvet lining.  Chic brooch.

    It is a blade carefully wound with metal wire. The edge of the blade is jagged and undulating, like a delicate dragon wing. The edge is also inlaid with small crystals. It does not look expensive, but it is indeed exquisite.

    Byron scratched his hair, his face seemed a little embarrassed: "This brooch is made of peas. She said she wanted to give it to you, so I just handed it over"

    Asarena blinked, her expression was unclear for a moment whether she was crying or laughing. In the end, she could only sigh helplessly and shook her head with a "As expected of you" look in her eyes: "Okay, thank Wandou for me.  This is really beautiful, I didn¡¯t expect her to learn this"

    There was hesitation on Byron's face, and he held it in for a long time before finally speaking: "Actually, I have also prepared a gift for you"

    Asarena was startled for a moment and looked at Byron curiously: "Ah where is the gift?"

    "That's the box in your hand," Byron pointed to the wooden box in the Dragon Seal Witch's hand, "I modified it from the pencil box that Wandou had when he was a child"

    Asalena: "?"

    "Actually, I wanted to buy a more elaborate box, but for some reason Wandou insisted on letting me make one myself - I don't know how to do it, so I had to do it this way," Byron spread his hands with a look of helplessness on his face, "  If you think your craftsmanship is not good"

    "The craftsmanship is indeed not good, but at least you made it with your own hands, so I'll bear with it," Asarena interrupted the other party with a dumbfounded look, and then shook her head, "I don't know why you insist on sending a box  ¡­Forget it, I¡¯ll take this thing.¡±

    After finishing speaking, the dragon seal witch paused, and then showed a somewhat troubled look on her face: "I accept it, but I still have to think about how to give you and Wandou a gift in return. Wandou's is okay, and then return to land.  I will choose a gift for her when we are here, but you guy what kind of hobbies do you usually have? I remember that you love drinking, but at your age, it is best to give up drinking"

    Byron waved his hand: "Age is not a problem, I can keep drinking!"

    "Hold on, sir!" Asarena almost took a flying kick, but at the last moment, she considered the dragonborn's kick and stopped it. Then she seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly turned around and ran towards the camp.  Go and say, "Wait here! I have something for you!"

    Byron just watched in astonishment as the woman known as the "witch" walked away, running faster than the charging knight. After a while, he watched the woman rushing back from the direction of the camp, behind her  Smoke and dust were billowing, and there seemed to be something on his shoulders - he didn't see clearly what it was until the other party came closer.

    Asarena is carrying a dark red scale as big as a whole body shield.

    With a "boom", Asarena punched the scales that were nearly a person tall in front of Byron. She held the upper part of the scales and smiled at Byron: "Here is this for you. I just gave it to you a while ago."  Replaced"

    Byron: "?"

    After being stunned for a long time, he finally came to his senses: "Do you dragons always give gifts in this style? Can the scales you shed be used as gifts?"

    "You're still not happy, are you?" Asarena stared, "If we go forward a few years, do you know how much a piece of dragon scale would be worth in the human world? Let alone what was circulating on the mainland at that time.  More than 90% of the dragon scales are filled with gum and then dyed I am 100% true!"

    "This okay," Byron was sweating on his forehead. It seemed like it would be difficult to end the day if he didn't accept this thing, but he was still a little at a loss when it came to this special gift. "But I'll take this."  What's the use of going back"

    "Then I don't care," Asarena waved her hand, "You can use it to sharpen a knife, or put it on four legs and use it as a table. If that doesn't work, you can put a handle on it and use it as a shield - I heard that you  Your Majesty had a similar job back then"

    Byron: ""
