Eternal hell, eternal red.

Under the boundless red light of hell, the hell camp seemed orderly. Everyone performed their duties. After completing the last things, everyone had to evacuate.

"Hey! Over there, please be gentle! If you break it, you won't be able to afford it if you work for another ten years!" a foreman shouted.

"Put it here, yes, and then put it on. Be careful, the shell is very heavy." Another group of technicians was directing a group of workers next to the Styx water absorption device of the water plant.

Everyone is busy, the technicians are trying to do the last thing, the workers are putting out the last wave of force, and the soldiers are standing at the last post.

The entire water plant has basically been completed, and the unfinished parts are just unfinished.

It is said to be a water plant, but when you actually see it, you will know how terrifying this empire's huge project costing tens of billions of gold coins is.

Yes, it is not as simple as a "water plant".

The entire "water plant" itself is almost the same as a small city, enough to accommodate 100,000 people to live and work.

When Lu En passed by the water plant, wasn't there a merchant city here? This water plant will only be bigger than that time.

A magnificent city floating in the sky.

Countless mechanical gears and electron flow wires form a perfect form, with countless magic powers rolling over it, and silver-white brilliance falling from the top, as if seeing the Milky Way falling from the sky, connecting heaven and earth.

The shocking floating city requires countless huge amounts of energy just to make this city float. Every second of operation, hundreds of billions of magic powers are swallowed up and spit out. It can be said that every time this city exists,

In one second, it consumes countless magic powers, enough to live on for thousands of people!

The River Styx does not flow on the ground, but in the sky, underground, underground, everywhere, flowing down the river, ignoring gravity and any obstruction, swirling and swallowing all souls.

Therefore, the Styx Water Plant is naturally also in the sky.

It's a floating city hovering in the sky

It has begun to really operate. I don’t know how to describe it. Just like a clock and a single-tooth carry machine, the transmission between magic power and exquisite mechanical structures drives the entire city. These machines are all interconnected structures, floating.

Surrounded in the air, it can be rotated and disassembled at will. Through a specific center, the three mutually perpendicular coordinate axes around it can be rotated at will.

When this thing is actually running, people can feel a mechanical order that arises spontaneously.

The entire water plant is completely automated and does not require anyone to control it. All magic arrays and mechanical devices operate automatically. This is the wisdom of a civilization. Countless sages use different solutions to select the optimal solution and combine it together.

It is the crystallization of the wisdom of the smartest people in the entire world!

At present, this thing has not been officially connected to the Styx River. It will only be officially launched after the shell is assembled on the ground, installed in the air, and has sufficient resistance to the corrosion of the Styx.

Lu En stood underneath the entire camp, looking up at this great project.

No matter how dirty and ugly the empire is, if it can stand on top of the world, it must have something worthy of praise.

Blood, rotten flesh, despair, death, all filthy things were trampled under the soles of the empire, allowing it to raise its arms high and show its most glorious side.

Look, what a beautiful building.

Impeccable and flawless, no matter how you look at it, this is an exquisite machine that is logically self-consistent and loops endlessly. It can run for a hundred thousand years without stopping if left alone.

Push, pull, rotate, and follow the established procedures. After the entire water plant is connected to the Styx, it will perform its originally designed functions.

The whole scene is extremely spectacular. It is like thousands of gears starting to move. Hundreds of millions of parts and guides each operate accurately according to their own routes. Within a few seconds, this magic circle the size of an entire city is activated.

, floating freely in mid-air.

"So beautiful." He said to himself.

"It's very beautiful. This is his brainchild." A rickety old woman walked up behind Lu En.

Long ears, an elf-style hollow skirt, and sudden waves of magic power.

The great elf sage, Anya.

"He? Daedalus?" Lu En didn't look back, still staring at the magnificent building in the sky. Tens of thousands of professionals, countless expenses, a great creation that took a full eighteen years to build, even if the empire has grown in a short time.

It is impossible to create a second one inside.

This short period of time is measured in units of hundreds of years.

"Yes, do you know why I established diplomatic relations with humans? Do I even acquiesce in that little girl Yinye marrying a human?" the great sage said, his tone was very familiar. He had never spoken to each other before, but now he seemed to be an old man.

Like friends.

"Is it because of him? I heard that when you were unwilling to communicate with humans, even if the Immortals took action personally, they never broke through your defenses. You do not have level 10 existence, but the elf civilization has existed for as long as humans have.

Ten times that, he must have his own methods." Lu En said.

He did know this. When the Immortal had a conflict with the elves, in the end, the elves were unscathed. Only a forest was burned down, but the Immortal shed five drops of blood, and most of it was taken away by the Night Familiar.

Or rather steal.

"Forgive me for not being honest about this." The sage smiled kindly and did not continue the topic.

"However, it is indeed because he, Daedalus, was an unimaginable human being. When he died, I was both happy and sad. But overall, I was mostly happy. You know, the empire is in the heavens.

In Douli, we have lost too much, too much."

"Almost all the immortals in the empire, only the Gray Lady, Walder, and the immortals have survived. You don't know this, right?" the elf sage said, with a kind expression and a gentle tone.

"It's really not clear. Then speaking of it, the empire has really become a lot weaker. In my opinion, the Gray Lady is a vain and ignorant old antique. She is obsessed with the glory of ancient times and cannot see the progress of the times. Immortals don't care about anything. The empire

So far, I have not been able to see the real situation. If this were not the case, my movements would be slower and more subtle." Lu En said with emotion.

Lu En has the most intuitive understanding of how powerful the empire is, but now it sounds like the current empire is still weak in the eyes of the elven sages.

But it's true - if the Celestial Realm still maintains control over the base of the empire, if Daedalus is still alive, then he will probably die after a lifetime of hard work.

Terrible, terrible.

"It's not just Daedalus. Many people died when the heaven was destroyed. Do you really think that only a few of the six lords of heaven committed suicide? Why do you think the empire would negotiate with the sea? It was even willing to sell the coast.

Interests in the area? Why do you think Daedalus took the initiative to resign and leave, but was still killed by the god himself?" She said here and sighed: "If you haven't experienced it personally, it will be difficult for you to understand why the empire

There is so much interest in a new workers' union."

"Because they really, really need this. I don't know what the empire thinks, but I know they really need the power of industry." Lu En replied.

At the same time, he raised his hand, and the soil and stones on the ground were forcibly pulled out, turning into two pillars that could be sat up on: "It's too tiring to stand and talk, so sit down and talk."

This is his common trick.

However, Aniya did not sit down. On the contrary, the Elf Sage looked at him with a strange expression.

Then, she waved her hand gently, and these mounds of earth were scattered and turned into dust and blown away.

Immediately afterwards, the Elf Sage seriously took out two very clean and beautiful chairs from his space equipment and motioned for Lu En to sit down.

Lu En looked very embarrassed.

To be honest, this was the first time he encountered someone who found it dirty...it was very embarrassing.

I am embarrassed to sit on the elf-made chair. To be honest, it is definitely more comfortable than the mound. It can relax the lumbar spine. It smells good and is very ergonomic.

To be honest...it's much better than Tudunzi.

Fortunately, the Elf Sage didn't pay much attention to this. After sitting down, she first said: "I am old and not in good health. I cannot sit on a stool that is too hard."

Then, without waiting for Lu En's reaction, she immediately continued: "The empire does need industrial power, but in the past, they were not so impatient. The reason why they are so impatient is not just what you imagine.

It’s just the emperor’s own fault.”

"Do you still know the conversation between me and the emperor? Is the empire's defense a sieve?" Lu En was shocked, what's going on? It doesn't matter if the empire is looked down upon, but why are the elves talking in the imperial city now?

Can you know?

"No, it might be the opposite. We can't see anything in it at all, but the little girl can." The elf sage explained, while lying on the chair very comfortably.

How can I put it...it suits the temperament of an old lady very much.

"Little girl..." Lu En wiped the sweat from his forehead. He found that he couldn't keep up with the ancient man's thoughts. Are all ancient men so out of the ordinary? It seems that Ayouken is like this too?

However, judging from the age of the other party, it seems to be normal. Gray Lady can indeed only be regarded as a "little girl" in front of her.

"So, can you get information from Gray Lady? This matter is not trivial, why are you telling me this?" Lu En immediately returned to the topic and asked Aniya.

"Because I think it is necessary to tell you. After all, we are likely to cooperate in the future. We are consistent in our attitude towards the empire." Aniya said sincerely.

"You know, we have been paying attention to you for a long time, and the real dragons have also been paying attention to you for a long time. You are a very young boy, but you have the idea of ​​changing the world. I don't want to judge your approach. After all, in our eyes,

Come on, you just want to turn the empire into a new elf." Aniya didn't seem to care much about Lu En's thoughts, and just said her own opinion.

Lu En frowned: "Elves? I've heard that you should still have primitive communism. However, what I am pursuing is more than that, primitive communism... To be honest, this is very unstable and is not a lasting one.

social system, but——”

"Okay, what's the use of telling an old man like me these terms that you young people have developed?" Aniya interrupted him, looking a little funny: "Do you think I understand it?"

"...I'm sorry, but I don't know why you came to see me." Lu En was stunned for a moment, and then apologized honestly.

Yes, there is no need to force others to listen to this, you just have to do it, but... what is the intention of the elves?

But at this time, the Elf Sage said: "No need to apologize, we all have our own path to practice. No one can guarantee that his own path is right, but no matter what, we must go on. This is what I believe in you."

reason."

"I have studied your situation very carefully and studied all kinds of information and clues that I can get."

"I have seen you in the poorest places, observed your daily life, and watched you talking to those poor people, talking about their situation and their sufferings."
