The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Under Sylvia's resentful gaze, Leo moved towards the place where the explosion first occurred in the smelter.

At the beginning, some workers who were being evacuated could be seen on the road, but as he approached the center of the explosion, the people had completely disappeared, only a few bodies of the victims on the ground that were too late to take away.

The surrounding air has been shrouded in black-red molten iron mist, and the temperature is as high as in a smelting furnace. Any ordinary person who enters this area will be instantly burned to death by the surrounding molten iron mist. Gas, internal organs will be cooked.

Leo didn't care about this environment that was fatal to others. The spiritual energy around his body easily dispelled the high-temperature molten iron mist around his body and filtered it into ordinary air.

Although in his current physical state, he would not cause any harm to himself if he directly breathed and touched the molten iron mist, but the clothes on his body were just ordinary clothes. If he did that, the clothes would be directly carbonized and burned to ashes He didn't want to turn around and deal with the matter here, and then appear naked in front of Sylvia and her subordinates.

Soon Leo came to the center of the first explosion, next to the ruins of the submerged molten iron pool smelting furnace, looking at the molten iron pool in front of him, which looked like a lava lake, constantly rolling under the action of invisible forces, producing scorching heat and highly toxic gases.

The sunken molten iron pool smelting furnace is a new steel smelting furnace technology that just appeared more than 20 years ago. It belongs to the exclusive technology of the Church of the Hill King. Its heating source is the never-ending lava underground. The clergy extract the heat from the lava through a special method, inject it into the molten iron pool embedded in the ground, melt the ore, and then use a special separation technology to separate the impurities and send it into the lava, leaving only The purest molten iron is used for secondary smelting.

Undoubtedly, the implementation of this technology has enabled the Church of the Hill King to continuously obtain a variety of high-quality metal materials, and has also greatly reduced its dependence on high-burning trees.

Sylvia obtained the information of this technology through some means more than 20 years ago, but she found that the key points of this technology are in the heat conduction magic of the Church of the Hill King, and other people cannot imitate and copy it, so she also He didn't take this technology seriously any more, and all the information was collected in the archives of Castle Black.

At that time, when Leo was working on various research projects of his own, he would also look through some materials in Sylvia's archives to find inspiration. At that time, he saw this technical information on the sinking molten iron pool smelting furnace.

He can naturally see that the core of this technology is the magic of the Church of the Hill King, and he can't do anything about it, but he can use some very ancient primitive smelting technology of the Earth Federation combined with the extraordinary power of this world to deal with this smelting process. Some modifications were made to the furnace so that the smelting furnace can still operate without relying on the heat of the underground lava.

Of course, no matter the size or energy efficiency of such an improved smelting furnace, it cannot compare with the smelting furnace of the Church of the Hill King, and it still needs to provide various types of high-burning charcoal and other fuels, and people with extraordinary powers are required to control the smelting furnace. The rune magic circle.

At that time, Leo did not tell Sylvia his idea, but planned to give her the technology after it was completely perfected, as a surprise for her.

However, until he participated in the ceremony of the Sea God Church, he only designed the main structure of the melting furnace, the construction plan, and the lowest rune magic circle. As for the control core rune magic circle and the secondary control structure, he hadn't added it yet. He went in, and he didn't show this information to Sylvia, but kept it in the archives room, and put it together with the original smelting furnace technical information of the Hill King Church.

Now seeing this molten iron pool that was exactly the same as his own idea, Leo knew that Sylvia should have found that document, and had completed the missing parts of that document in the past twenty years.

Leo scanned the molten iron pool and the surrounding ruins through the mental net, was able to see every detail on the fragments, and reassembled the fragments into a complete blast furnace in his mind.

Although in his eyes, there is still a gap between the completed part and the final technology he envisioned in his mind, and because too many extraordinary powers, such as shaman, wizard, abyss, etc., are mixed in its secondary control structure, This can make the heat supply of the smelting furnace extremely unstable.

If he hadn't seen the real cause of the smelter's explosion through the Eye of Reality, perhaps after restoring the situation at the scene, he would think that the explosion was caused by the unstable design of the complement.

His attention didn't stay in the smelting factory restored in his mind for too long, so he shifted back to the molten iron pool, and at this moment he re-opened his spiritual vision, arousing the power of the eye of truth.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the center of the molten iron pool is just a piece of tumbling molten iron, but in the eyes of Leo, there is a giant standing in the tumbling molten iron. The half body of ten meters high made Leo standing by the pool look a bit small.

I saw that the giant kept waving his arms to stir the molten iron, causing a large amount of molten iron to turn into molten iron mist during the agitation, and then followed his roar without any sound but full of energy waves, towards Spread around.

Leo could see that the giant was very angry. He seemed to want to pull his lower body out of the pool, but a stronger force held him back, making him stuck here and unable to move. This bad state also made him more and more anxious and angry.

Maybe it was his anger that focused all his attention on the molten iron pool below him, or maybe he was just an illusion formed by power without any wisdom, and it was more likely that Leo, who had restrained all the fluctuations of power, looked like just a An inconspicuous bug, Leo standing by the pool did not attract the giant's attention at all.

Just when Leo was thinking about how to deal with this giant, his mental network suddenly sensed that several people were approaching, and among those people was neither Sylvia nor Sylvia's subordinate witch, and Those few people seemed to know what kind of environment they would face, and they were wearing a completely enclosed thermal insulation suit, which made them not in any danger for a short time after entering this hot area.

After discovering that those people looked prepared, Leo immediately had a guess in his mind, so he moved a little bit and hid his figure in the ruins.

Not long after, those people came to the side of the iron pool, and saw that the leader was dragging a slate-like thing in his hand. When he approached the iron pool, the slate emitted bursts of purple light, and these purple lights seemed to scan Light waves swept over the pond, and the giant that ordinary people could not see originally appeared in front of those people in the form of a purple giant as if dyed with a layer of color after the purple light swept over.

After seeing the appearance of the giant, those people immediately became extremely excited and excited, and they had a quick conversation in a language that Leo had never heard before, and then they each took out some things that seemed to be some kind of sarcasm. Items full of ceremonies were placed around the iron pool, and then some kind of prayer began to be chanted along with the leader.

Although Leo has never heard the language of these people, it can still be heard from the details of their voices that they should be from a certain tribe in the wasteland, and the shaman ceremony they are currently performing should be a simplification of a high-level shaman ceremony Version, although the ceremony is simplified, the various wonders used in the ceremony are not ordinary.

From the energy fluctuations that Leo emitted from those ritual wonders, he could feel that each of these wonders was definitely a high-quality goods. If they were placed outside, even the old underground forces might not be able to come up with such a one-off. Many exquisite items.

At this time, the praying and chanting of several people seemed to have entered a mysterious state, and special energy fluctuations began to be produced in their prayers. This energy fluctuation did not spread around but concentrated on the iron in front In the pool, there was a burst of resonance energy with the surrounding ritual wonders.

And the giant wrapped in resonance energy in the iron pool seemed to be appeased, and gradually calmed down from his anger, and seemed to be able to hear the singing, and turned his head towards the few people by the pool.

Seeing that the giant reacted to his chanting, those people seemed to become extremely excited, and the speed of chanting also increased a lot.

However, they didn't expect that their every move would be completely watched by Leo who was not far away, and Leo who already knew the situation felt that there was no need to watch on the sidelines any longer.

So, he saw that he condensed into a thunder gun in his hand at an extremely fast speed, and just in case, he also injected the power of a crystallized soul gun into the thunder gun.

Although Leo used psychic energy to isolate most of the dissipated energy, the power of the thunder gun was too powerful to be completely sealed by his isolation psychic energy, so a wave of the power of the thunder gun dissipated.

This power was not felt by the few people beside the iron pool, but the giant in the iron pool discovered this power that could threaten him.

He who was already calm immediately became extremely angry. He waved his hands quickly, turning the molten iron rolled up into a huge molten iron fist and swung it towards Leo's position.

The sudden change was completely beyond the expectations of those few people. The power and influence generated by the giant's attack brought great shock to their hearts and bodies, making them stop singing the prayer involuntarily.

However, before they recovered from the shock of the giant's power, they saw a long thorn-shaped lightning drilled out from the place where the giant's molten iron fist was facing, and collided with the molten iron fist. It was as easy as tearing paper and shredded the molten iron fist, and instantly hit the giant in the molten iron pool.

The giant under attack didn't even have a chance to let out a scream, so it collapsed and disappeared in front of several people. At the same time, the tumbling iron pool quickly calmed down, and cooled and solidified at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, the power hitting the giant did not completely disappear because of the giant's collapse, but its remaining power was scattered around along the ongoing shaman ceremony.

Although it is only the remaining residual power, it is still not something that ordinary transcendents and strange things can resist. Those valuable exquisite strange things burst instantly under the impact of the remaining power, and at the same time, the high-quality strange things are connected through rituals Under the impact of this force, those people were knocked down without any resistance. Two of them died directly, and the others fell into a coma. Get up on the ground and escape from here.

He may still not understand what happened just now, but he is very clear that this place is very dangerous for him now.

However, before he recovered from the terrible state of paralysis and schizophrenia, he saw a pair of very ordinary traveling boots appearing in front of him. He looked up, and what caught his eyes was a man who looked The seemingly ordinary man was looking down at himself.

He quickly realized that what happened just now was done by the person in front of him. The strong curiosity in his heart drove him to resist the discomfort in his body, and asked, "Who are you?"

"Leo Dodd." Leo looked at the person in front of him who could withstand the residual force of the thunder gun without falling, and replied simply.

However, after hearing Leo's name, the man immediately thought of something, looked at Leo in surprise through the isolation mirror, and said, "Aren't you already dead?"

However, he didn't wait for Leo's answer to this question. Leo leaned down, stretched out his hand and pressed on the opponent's neck, knocking him out directly, and then resisted these people out of the area. The scorching hot area came to an open space outside.

With the disappearance of the giant in the molten iron pool, the invisible force that caused the continuous accidents in the entire smelting plant also quickly dissipated. The boilers and equipment in other places did not explode or be damaged again, and the dust flying all over the sky also slowly fell. The entire smelting plant It also gradually appeared in front of the public.

Although, after the explosion, some people speculated that the smelter may be over, but after seeing with their own eyes that nearly two-thirds of the smelter's factory area has been turned into ruins, both the employees in the factory and the bystanders outside the factory were all killed. I was too shocked to speak.

At the same time, Leo also found Sylvia who was instructing his subordinates to ask for work in the ruins through the spiritual network, and used the spiritual link to tell her that there was a discovery here.

After hearing the news from Leo, Sylvia immediately stopped what she was doing, and led several witch subordinates to rush over to where Leo was.

When she saw Leo standing in the open space and the people in heat-insulating suits lying under his feet from a distance, she immediately understood what was going on, and she didn't ask much when she came to her. He directly took off the hood of one of them and saw the appearance of that person.

"It really is them."
