Overturned Tower

Just when they were hanging and executing traitors in Xiacheng District, they were preparing for a massacre.

At the same time, Russell had entered the place where he had made an appointment with Tokifat.

That was not the branch of Shenzhi Heavy Industries on Happy Island... but when we arrived here, we passed by Shenzhi Heavy Industries.

Then Russell knew why Tokifat was no longer in the company.

——Because the branch of Shenzhi Heavy Industries is not at the level of a "company" at all.

It's a giant monster.

From the outside, it looks like a giant hemispheric stadium...

But if you look further away, you can clearly see that this is an extremely huge "brain" type company, located in the southern part of the entire sky island, in a place named the Apperception Zone. Apart from Shenzhi Heavy Industry, the only company here that is closely connected to it is the "Annealing Nerve Center", a subsidiary of the Hudson Marine Mining Company. Other than that, there is only a dense circle of residential areas and warehouses around it.

There is no doubt that the house prices here are also the lowest.

Shenzhi Heavy Industry is entirely composed of brass-colored matte exterior walls and covers an extremely large area.

Just this huge building... This building alone covers an area of ​​nearly 10 million square meters and thousands of hectares. Nearly one-third of Tianen Park. Even if it is placed on the ground, it can definitely be regarded as a "megastructure", let alone an empty island that lacks space.

Of all the branches, it is undoubtedly the largest. Even Tianen Group itself has no building that is even one-tenth of its size...

In addition to the Shenzhen Heavy Industry, the annealing nerve center next to it is also a huge building, but its size is only less than a quarter of the Shenzhen Heavy Industry.

After entering, Russell realized... that he had far underestimated its size.

Because the space inside is even folded. It is winding and winding like a maze, with more than five hundred layers upon layers...

Even the parts below the ground have been opened up and directly connected to the factory complex in the lower city. It doesn't even have to send the exhaust gas upwards, but is transmitted to other pipelines, forming a maximum utilization of energy and resources.

If you take a skyboat and look at it from the outside of Happy Island, it looks like a brain placed on a huge pallet.

Under the brain, countless pipes are like blood vessels and nerves, connected to the densely packed factories below with extremely complex structures.

Just seeing this building made Russell feel very strange.

——He always felt that this did not look like a technological building that existed in this era.

This extremely large building looks very strange, both in terms of architecture and materials. Not only is its technological content very high, but its costs far outweigh its benefits.

Why make the building look like this?

Just to look good?

And when Russell was taken in for a "visit", his eyes were opened even more...

Unlike the steam-style appearance from the outside, the decoration inside is very consistent with Russell's impression of a "cyberpunk company".

Whether it's the cool colors and high-tech feel, the floors, walls, and ceilings that look like the interior of a ship, or the various screens all over the walls... and the most special "door" here.

Yes, there are no doors within the Shenzhi Heavy Industry company. In other words, every wall is a door.

The walls are all changeable in color and are made of materials similar to LCD screens, but are unusually strong. When Russell was guided towards a wall, he saw that the color of the wall immediately turned translucent. Then before they came over, they separated to both sides, leaving a passage for them to pass. There is no need to stop or slow down in the middle.

Everyone is walking pretty much in a straight line - these walls are constantly opening and closing, not stopping anyone. But only our employees know which way to go... because all the passages here are chaotic, and the strange maze is reminiscent of "brain grooves".

There were people walking around everywhere, but their routes were very different. Hardly any two people walk side by side or in front of one another.

There are less than one-tenth of the human employees here, and the rest are all weird-looking machines. There were even weird-looking robot "men" pushing other-shaped robot "men" past them.

Therefore, it can be said that this is basically equivalent to an "unmanned factory".

But unlike the fully automated factories in Xiacheng District, these are complex buildings mixed with research institutes that require real-time deployment and research by humans and artificial intelligence.

Russell passed through at least thirteen workshops and six research rooms, and saw densely packed three-digit giant pipelines... He changed elevators three times in the middle, and walked down more than forty floors in total... He even suspected that he was almost there. After arriving in the downtown area, they finally arrived at the place they had agreed upon before.

The biggest difference between here and above is that it is unusually quiet.

But as Russell walked, he felt something familiar for some reason.

And this feeling, when he reached the end... he finally remembered it.

——Because right at the end of the room is the passage door that connects the room with the deer head statue.

Silver-gray metallic color, extremely airtight passage door... After the leader grasped the verification device inside, he rotated the circular hatch that split into three petals.

That's exactly the same door!

Even the channels inside are the same color and specifications!

But the difference is that the densely packed wires and tubes of different thicknesses in the deer-headed room always have an old dusty smell.

However, where this other "Tokifat" is, everything is brand new. There are also many wires and pipes here, but there is no dusty smell... because there are many green plants in the corners of the room, so even the air is still fresh.

"I can't go in the back way, Mr. Ultramarine."

The beautiful secretary, whose legs had been modified by high-strength prosthetics, bowed respectfully to Russell: "I will wait here for you to come out."

"Thank you, Miss Bella."

Russell responded warmly and nodded to the secretary of Tokifat.

There was something strange in his heart... Couldn't even Tokifat's secretary see him?

When Russell walked in, his doubts became deeper and he was even a little wary.

Because at the end of this long corridor, there is a dead end. There was nothing here except that the wall he was facing was a screen and there was a chair not far from the screen. There are not even green plants.

Just when Russell walked in front of the screen, the screen immediately lit up.

On the other side of the screen, everything looked the same as Russell's - it even looked like a mirror, only the chair was different.

It was just that Russell was standing in front of a chair fixed on the ground, and an elf boy who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting in a wheelchair.

He has waist-length silver-white hair, and a heavy metallic silver eyeband is fixed on his eyes. It looks like gaming glasses and eye protection. There are many black lines like blood vessels on the eyeband. The end was embedded in his hair.

But what concerned Russell most... was his body.

He has no legs.

In other words, everything below his waist is densely packed with snake-like silver metal tentacles, many of which are like plugs inserted into the chair beneath him.

There are six arms on his upper body. Only one of these six arms is a real arm, and the remaining five are prosthetic hands.

He has two hands with thumbs facing each other, other fingers interlaced, palms facing up, placed underneath as if meditating.

There are also two hands with five fingers facing each other, palms facing down, forming a perfect triangle and placed in front of the chest.

The other two free hands were placed flat on the armrests of the wheelchair like normal people.

He is strangely filled with a kind of opposing divinity and demonic nature... Once you see him once, you will never forget it.

Of all the elf directors Russell had met so far, this was the one that impressed Russell the most.

"First meeting, Mr. Ultramarine."

The young man with long silver hair said warmly: "I am Tokifat."

Chapter 2, here it comes!

I still couldn't help but fall asleep in the afternoon...but I felt much better after waking up!

I hope it won’t get worse tomorrow. This volume already has a lot of words, and I won’t be able to finish it if I take another day off...
