Monarch of Evernight: Go home at 278

bsp;This is a rock-core jade letter. It can be seen that it was made in a hurry. There is only a self-destruct warning attached to the outer shell, and there is no identification of the recipient. If Qianye hadn't found the Force auras of Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan on the side, he wouldn't have been sure that the recipient of the letter was him.

Qianye input a ray of dawn force and read the information inside.

The two women said they were rescued from the Pond of All Beings and fled all the way back to the fortress. By the time they arrived, the fortress had been destroyed, and judging from the remaining information, the empire's large forces had left the maelstrom. But the empire has been operating here for many years, and the fortress is naturally more than just a building. For example, there is actually a wider space underneath the fortress.

The natives seemed to be doing simple mechanical damage and did not find the secret underground of the fortress. In the underground space, there is also a backup of emergency shuttle parts. They used the remaining parts to assemble a shuttle boat. They originally wanted to wait for Qianye, but another wave of indigenous troops appeared. As a last resort, they had to use a shuttle boat to lure the natives away, and then return to the empire.

In the underground secret room, there are enough spare parts that can be assembled into a new shuttle boat, and the assembly drawings are also stored in the basement.

Although they did not explain who saved them in the letter, Qianye could guess that it was probably Ye Tong. It's easy to confirm. Just wait until Xiao Zhuji wakes up from her deep sleep and ask her.

However, according to the meaning of the letter, the empire seems to have temporarily abandoned this fortress and will rebuild it after a period of time when the maelstrom calms down. According to the current situation, neither the empire nor the dark race can stand in front of the raging indigenous army.

At the end of the message, Ji Tianqing marked the way to enter the underground space. There is a passage in the fortress, but it has been sealed from the inside. The other passage is in a natural cave outside the fortress.

Qianye first took Xiao Zhuji back to the fortress, and then found the entrance passage deep in the cave according to the markings on the map. At the end of the passage is a thick iron door, and next to the door is a row of levers. These pull rods are associated with a series of machines. Only by pulling them in the correct order can the machinery be started and the door open.

This is the most primitive combination lock, and Qianye has to admire those who built the fortress here. When they entered the maelstrom, they could only bring very little with them, at most some precision tools. Everything here, including the most basic tools, is made bit by bit according to local conditions. Even iron is forged in the maelstrom.

Up, down, down, up, Qianye opened the door in order and walked into the underground space.

The underground space of the fortress is partly excavated manually and partly using natural space. The various areas inside are very clearly divided, mainly the material warehouse, a workshop, and ordnance for storing weapons and armor. Food is naturally indispensable. There are actually enough rations to feed thousands of people for three years. It can be seen that when this place was built, its ambition was not small. It was planned to move the imperial army into the maelstrom and completely conquer this side of the world. .

In the parts area, there are several large boxes with eye-catching markings on them. Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan have already prepared the relevant parts and left assembly drawings on the box. At that time, Qianye only needs to assemble it according to the drawings.

Those wooden boxes are all painted with the imperial emblem, and are in eye-catching dark red, indicating that they are the most valuable material category.

Qianye walked around the entire underground base and found that there were not many parts left for the shuttle boat. After deducting the ones Ji Tianqing picked out for him, the remaining parts were not enough to assemble another shuttle boat. What's more important is that there is only one power engine left in the shuttle craft, and there will be no more after that.

The power engine installed on the shuttle boat is the most cutting-edge product of the empire. It is small, light, and very powerful. It is suitable for shuttle boats that need to resist the traction of the void passage. This thing requires a complete workshop system to make it. It cannot be made in the maelstrom. It can only be brought in from the empire.

The Maelstrom opens once every few years, and the number of places to enter each time is limited. What kind of supplies to bring every time makes the military staff think a lot. Power engines are always listed as important supplies, but it is difficult to put them on the list of necessities. After all, the Empire has been operating within the Maelstrom for so many years, and the fortress has never been truly threatened. There is no need to prepare too many shuttle boats.

If it weren’t for the fact that the maelstrom was filled with the best of the younger generation of the Empire, even if one of them died, it would be a heavy loss, and the Empire might not even have spare parts for the two shuttle crafts left.

Qianye moved the wooden boxes one by one to the flat ground outside the cave, which was a natural working place. He opened the wooden box, took out the components inside, placed them in categories, and then started assembling them.

The shuttle boat has a very simple structure. It is a floating boat that can only carry two people. Apart from the space for the man and the power engine, there is no extra space.

Whether it is the keel or the boards on the four walls, each piece is strong and tough, with extremely high strength. It is obvious that the materials used are quite sophisticated. Force arrays are attached to each plate to protect the hull. Although this small shuttle boat is simple, it can be seen that the cost must be high, otherwise how could it withstand the harsh environment of the void passage.

The assembly was not complicated. Qianye completed the entire shuttle boat in just half a day. This kind of shuttle craft was originally designed for people who were not familiar with aerospace craft construction. Of course, it was impossible to build any complex structures. As long as the Force level was high enough and the ability to read drawings was basic, it could be operated.

After putting the boat together, Qianye put away all the wooden boxes and excess tools and materials, moved them back to the underground space and sealed them, and then carefully removed all traces on the assembly site to prevent the natives from discovering them when they came back. The agency here. This is also a necessary criterion. The ancestors of the empire were prepared, so they had the floating shuttle boat in front of Qianye. Qianye borrowed the benefits from his ancestors, but he also had to think more about future generations.

Qianye carried the little one into the shuttle boat, patted her little face and said, "Don't sleep, let's go home."

Xiao Zhuji reluctantly opened her eyes and murmured: "Go home? Where is your home?"

Looking at the little guy's sweet face, Qianye suddenly felt a little guilty. Over the years, he has been moving around, rarely settling in one place, and the word home has become quite vague. Since Ye Tong's awakening, home has been far away from him.

Xiao Zhu Ji was born with supernatural powers, so she was used to death by Song Zining's evil bastard. During the battle in the Unfallen City, she was even thrown out to block the attack of the divine general. However, when Qianye thought about himself, it seemed that he was no better off. He would take her to the battlefield to poison her, or else leave her alone at home and let her fend for herself.

Qianye sighed softly, entered the shuttle boat, closed the hatch, and entered the Dawn Force on the console. The lights in the cabin lit up one by one, and the roar of the engine immediately sounded. The aerostat vibrated slightly and took off into the air.

Qianye locked his senses on the entrance to the passage in the air, and continued to increase the input force of the protective shield. The roar of the engine became louder and louder. When the strength of the protective shield is increased to the maximum, the shuttle boat flies into the void channel like a meteor and disappears.

This void channel is much more stable than the one in the neutral ground. Although the traction force of the internal space is quite strong, the shuttle boat can still withstand it. The strength of the protective shield gradually decreases and it can still support it for a long time. .

But the so-called stability is only relative. The shuttle boat is like a boat in a storm, rising and falling violently.

Halfway through, the storm began to become fierce, and the strength of the protective shield began to decrease rapidly. It completely collapsed before the exit of the passage was seen.

At this point, it was obvious that the empire had put a lot of effort into this small shuttle boat. The boat was naked against the void storm, but it was still able to maintain its shape. However, cutting marks began to appear on the outer wall of the boat.

Qianye knew that the engine power was insufficient, so he began to transmit his own force through the console to the defense force arrays everywhere, reactivating new protective shields to protect important parts.

At this point, we can see the advantage of making the shuttle craft as small as possible. The designers have long known that the engine power will be insufficient, and the passengers will need to input their own force when necessary. The smaller the boat is, the less force it consumes, so it won't run out of force halfway and die in the void passage.

At this moment, Qianye's total force power is no longer lower than that of a seventeenth-level powerhouse, and even average powerhouses are far behind him. He steered the boat calmly and sailed steadily through the storm.

The exit of the space passage finally appeared, and Qianye's boat flew into the exit like a seabird.

At the other end, the shuttle boat began to slide slowly as if it had emerged from the bubble. Sensing this familiar aura, Qianye knew that he had returned to the imperial world.

In the void outside the window, a continent is slowly moving. Looking from a distance, before Qianye could figure out which continent this was, he saw several cutting-edge imperial warships flying from all directions, surrounding Qianye.

A small warship lay in front, with several strong men standing on the deck. One person said loudly: "Who is in the shuttle boat? Tell me your identity!"

Qianye felt a little embarrassed for a moment, and after a moment he said: "Qianye."

The strong man immediately turned around and gave some instructions, and one person quickly went to the cabin, obviously to send a message.

Qianye sat quietly in the shuttle boat, waiting for news. Before leaving, he knew that the empire would strictly guard the exit of the passage. But logically speaking, with Ji Tianqing and Li Kuanglan's status, it shouldn't be a problem to help him solve this little trouble.

After waiting for a while, another unmarked warship flew from a distance. The warship that was originally blocking the front quietly left, and other imperial warships also flew away, as if to avoid suspicion.

On the unmarked battleship, an old man with a gentle face walked out, his face was white and beardless, and he said in a gloomy and melodious voice: "General Qianye, you are finally back. Our family has been waiting here for a long time."

Qianye was convinced, and drove the shuttle boat to the battleship, and took Xiao Zhuji aboard the battleship. He saluted the old man and said, "I wonder what you call him?"

"Our surname is Yang. In the palace, we work as errands for the queen, running errands." After saying that, Eunuch Yang took out a half-meter-square long box from his waist, handed it to Qianye, and said: " Our visit this time is just to spread a message and give something away.”

Qianye took the long box and asked in shock: "What is this?"

Eunuch Yang ignored his question and said to himself: "My Majesty means that you did a good job this time, so I gave you some gadgets. Take the things, let's do this That’s it.” (.)
