Steel steam and flame

Groat was ready to smile, then to cut off the contact. But he waited, and the fact that he didn't reply to the last sentence immediately prevented Perkins from pressing the button to disconnect. Perhaps he felt the suddenly silent atmosphere from the communication. He remained silent and waited for a reply.

After a few breaths, Grote spoke with worry, "You are right."

"What do you mean?" Perkins was confused by the sudden words.

"There are indeed a large number of monitoring equipment around the factory, and the enemy also has professionals who are proficient in communication technology. This is correct." Grote replied, "During the contact a few hours ago, the enemy approached and touched To my unfolded spiritual perception; this time, not long after the contact, the spiritual perception was touched again, and the number increased a lot. The enemy began to lose patience. In their eyes, the factory inside the mountain was completely black, and they urgently needed to supplement a large amount of information in order to Give them peace of mind.”

"Tomorrow evening is the time point, I agree. Just judging from the current situation, you not only need to consider whether the time point will be postponed to night, but also whether it will be advanced. Remember to contact Cassia to inform this situation, otherwise it will There is a time lag. What I mean is that if the situation you are worried about occurs, it is acceptable to lose the initiative, but if you want to recover time, it should be impossible for you and me alone."

Perkins spoke in a serious tone, "I will notify Cassia and always pay attention to the situation of the factory inside the mountain. I will also ask Li Suman to speed up her journey. She is nearby, and the help she can provide is to a certain extent far away." More than the two of us.”

"Then... we'll meet again tomorrow evening. Let's lighten some of the burden on the engineers of Unlimited Communications Company." After Grote finished speaking, Perkinz answered in the affirmative and cut off the contact. At the same time, the figures of the three enemies that appeared in his perception also disappeared one after another, and the factory returned to its original tranquility.

After continuing to monitor for a few minutes, after his mental perception was no longer touched, Grote returned to the silence just now, patiently and with an inorganic silence, silently feeling the passage of time.

On the other side of the factory, Defoni, who had gone to the warehouse area, stood in front of the ferocious head of the Ultimate Dragon. He clenched his fist and knocked it, and a crisp sound slowly floated around.

"No matter how many times I look at it or how many times I knock it, they all sound good and are good things." Praising himself, Defoni went to the external console aside, pressed the numerous buttons one by one very skillfully, and then went to the distance. Manually open several main line valves.

Then there was a slight buzzing sound in the air, and the Ultimate Dragon lying on the steel cargo shelf immediately seemed to have the breath of life. As a polymer of dead matter, it does have an inexplicable layer covering its body, making the silver-white outer armor seem to become much more shiny.

Defoni stopped to watch, and while following the process and time sequence, he controlled the external console to enter the preheating state. He also admired this huge and exquisite work of art, with a smile gradually filling his face. The more he looked at it, the more he felt the beauty of the ultimate dragon.

Why was this beautiful thing made like this? In his heart, Defoni had been thinking with joy and happiness more than once. The Mechanical Dragon Project has been implemented for a long, long time, but no resources have been found. To this end, he made a lot of efforts in the Far Sea Commonwealth, but in the end he failed to achieve anything.

When the red star came, the problems that had troubled him for a long time seemed to be solved in a short period of time without any obstacles.

Until now, whenever I stop to look at the Ultimate Dragon and think about the pile of mechanical dragons lying in another large warehouse nearby, I can't help but sigh. This time, it is no exception.

He observed the various data displayed on the external console until they all reached the preheating state range one after another, and the buzzing in the air quickly restrained itself into the interior of the Ultimate Dragon. At the same time, several weak and slender light strips also appeared on the body of the ultimate dragon.

It is a light blue band, starting from the tip of the tail, extending to the ferocious head, and disappearing among the pile of huge eyes without any light - a pure mechanical eye, based on biotechnology, with Made of a large number of sensing devices; one is a complete dragon eye, cultivated and provided by the Avalon Organization. It is currently installed quietly in the eye socket on the other side, wrapped and protected by a translucent eye mask. With.

In addition, the temperature of the Ultimate Dragon's chest increased by two to three degrees. From the perspective of the spiritual perception and energy light flow network, Defoni could see a seemingly nonexistent light existing there. At least the air there would be slightly distorted for no reason.

After walking around for several times to make sure that all the values ​​were stable and there were no problems with the inspection, he went back to the control console and kept it in this state. Then he reluctantly went to the warehouse nearby and started to make the remaining mechanical dragons. Also go to the preheating state.

Only separated by a few walls, the huge gap between the Mechanical Dragon and the Ultimate Dragon has already made the look in Defoni's eyes disappear a lot, and the joy and happiness overflowing in his body has also become lighter - he has seen better things. , although he doesn't dislike it, the mechanical dragon that he had been thinking about in the past is no longer so attractive to him.

It's better to be the Ultimate Dragon. This is something that Defoni will always choose the same option no matter how many times he makes the choice.

Still going to the head of each mechanical dragon, Defoni clenched his fist and struck it, and the clear sound reverberated before he started to start it and enter the preheating state. Then follow the standard procedures and conduct careful and thorough operations and inspections to ensure that each mechanical dragon can maintain preheating.

After completing this step, it was already more than three hours later when Defoni rested. He returned to the warehouse where the Ultimate Dragon was located, and when he saw that there was no problem, he left in a good mood and went to the tarmac. Defoni closed his eyes, as if to feel the passage of time, his body and mood completely relaxed, and he lay down on the hard ground to rest.

Although I felt the passage of time, I didn't feel that a long time had passed. When Defoni opened his eyes for no reason and sat up with confusion, the light around the entire tarmac seemed to dim.

In his mental perception, he observed the wall clock in a hall on the management floor not far away, and immediately determined the time at this moment through the positions of the hour and minute hands——

Evening, six thirty-two.

After resting for a long time, Defoni realized something. He stood up, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on a hundred meters away. While sighing with a smile, a white flower no bigger than an adult's fist grew out of nowhere, and it was slowly unfolding its white petals.
