[Chapter 218 A True Family Owns a Mine]

As soon as he thought of Mark, Mark came running. David wondered if he had awakened some kind of spiritual connection or something like that?

He soon realized that he was wrong. Mark obviously discovered something special and came to find him in a hurry.

“What’s the situation?”

“Follow me!”

David did not delay and followed Mark out of Fort Glamorgan and came to the Winter Alchemy Workshop located northeast of Winter Fortress.

This is one of the more special buildings in Winter Town. It is very close to Winter Fortress and is protected by Winter Fortress and Winter Barracks. It is located in the core of Winter Town.

The location also shows its importance. In addition to Pierre Newton and Will Turner making various alchemical products, the Winter Alchemy Workshop also has an important role – research!

In other words, the Winter Alchemy Workshop is also the research center of Winter Town. At present, the research focus of the entire alchemy workshop is crystal ore, a specialty of Winter Town!

Mark suddenly hurried to find David because the crystal ore had undergone an amazing change.

The crystal mine was originally “planted” behind David’s cabin, covered by a wooden shed.

With the establishment of Fort Glamorgan and Winter Fortress, of course, this arrangement could not continue, so the location of the crystal mine was moved to the current location, which is the northeast of Fort Glamorgan.

An alchemy workshop was built where the crystal mine was located.

In order to ensure the absolute safety of the crystal mine, the crystal mine was placed “underground”, so after arriving at the alchemy workshop, David had to take the elevator with Mark to the underground space specially arranged for the crystal mine.

As soon as he entered the underground space specially arranged for the crystal mine, David was immediately shocked.

It was about the size of a basketball hall, and enough height was reserved. It was said to be underground, but if all the lights were turned on, it would only feel like entering a huge stadium.

Originally, there were only a few crystal mines, which seemed particularly small in this empty space.

But David would not have such an idea at this time. The crystal mine in front of him almost occupied more than half of the space. The huge and towering crystals looked very imposing. If you look closely, you can even see the light flowing slowly on the crystals.

David looked at the large cluster of crystal ore in front of him, and then looked at Mark beside him: “Are these crystal ore? When did you find out about this?”

“I just found out when I came to check the crystal ore situation.” Mark was also shocked. Seeing that the crystal ore suddenly became so many and so big, he thought something had changed.

Fortunately, the crystal ore did not continue to grow and burst the underground space. Mark immediately realized that something must have happened to David, so he hurriedly called David over.

Walking to the huge crystal ore, David stretched out his hand and brushed it over the crystal ore. The feeling he felt was similar to the previous crystal ore, but also a little different.

The similarity refers to the peaceful feeling, and the difference is that the energy contained in these crystal ores seems to have become more massive.

“Have you changed recently? Or has Eva changed?”

Mark, who calmed down, also returned to normal in IQ, and immediately guessed several possibilities!

The appearance of the crystal ore is related to Eva and David, and the subsequent upgrade of the crystal ore is also related to David. So if you say that the change of the crystal ore at this time has nothing to do with David, Mark will definitely slap him in the face and ask him to reorganize his words.

David had nothing to hide, so he simply told Mark about his and Eva’s situation.

Mark was incredulous after hearing this. David thought he thought it was a bit ridiculous that the crystal ore had become so large and huge due to this reason.

Unexpectedly, Mark’s focus was on other aspects.

“You just ate Eva?”

“…”

“You two are always there, rubbing against each other, I thought you two had been together for a long time.”

“…”

Although it was all true, why did it sound so uncomfortable?

Mark knew that the joke was almost done, and then turned the topic to the normal direction: “But is it just this reason? The growth is too exaggerated.”

“It can’t be related to Eva’s mastery of the Holy Light?”

“Oh?”

Eva has truly mastered the Holy Light, which is completely different from the previous one that relied solely on David to infuse and replenish the Holy Light. Now Eva has truly entered the ranks of the extraordinary.

“Is it because Eva has become stronger, so the crystal ore born because of Eva has also become stronger and more numerous?”

David didn’t know whether Mark’s guess was right, after all, he didn’t have an accurate answer.

But no matter what, Eva gave herself another surprise. She originally thought that the crystal ore output was too low, but now it has increased many times. She no longer has to worry about the crystal ore reserves.

“This is what a mine looks like!”

He happily touched a few more crystal ores, feeling the surging energy in them. It seems that the time is not far away for all the staff of Winter Town to use products made with crystal ore technology.

Even as the crystal ore becomes larger and stronger, Winter Town’s attraction to the Autobots will also soar. The Autobots should be able to use this pure, attributeless energy to replenish their own consumption.

Even… with sufficient renewable energy, it seems that I can recruit Decepticons?

After all, not all Decepticons are like Megatron, otherwise there would be no Decepticons jumping to the Autobots. In addition to their belligerent personalities, some Decepticons simply want to survive.

David provides them with an environment to survive and positions that allow them to better display their abilities and values. It seems that it is not impossible for Decepticons to join Winter Town.

I can talk to Optimus Prime about this topic when I have time. I wonder what the Autobot leader thinks of this matter?

He must figure this out. After all, recruiting Decepticons is just a concept, and the Autobots are now getting closer and closer to Winter Town.

David didn’t want to cause dissatisfaction among existing allies because of a help that he hadn’t gotten yet.

He stood here and watched for a while, watching Leonard, Howard and others run over after getting the news. After expressing their amazement, they hurriedly took samples and tested them, wanting to observe how much the energy intensity in the crystal ore of the same size had changed compared to the past. The

sampling locations were also marked and recorded, and they were prepared to judge the growth rate of the crystal ore through continuous observation. If the growth rate was the same as before, combined with this huge volume, the output would be amazing.

In that case, Winter Town could completely say goodbye to ordinary ammunition and use all powerful ammunition with added crystal ore powder.

While several scientists were busy, David talked to Mark about the sheriff.

“Although I am very interested in becoming the sheriff of Winter Town, I don’t have much time left before I leave Mars.”

The Earth has already sent a spacecraft and a rescue team. There are not many days left before the rescue team arrives on Mars. Next, he will board the rescue spacecraft and return to Earth.

Unlike the original plot, the rescue team this time is not Mark Watney’s original group of companions, and he is completely unfamiliar with these people.

Besides, even if he was familiar with it, he was not going to expose the secrets of Winter Town. He didn’t think it would be good for him to tell these things.

In order to hide this secret, it was not convenient for him to disappear from the ship frequently when the spaceship sailed back to Earth. The safest way was to stay on the spaceship honestly until he returned to Earth smoothly.

“I also plan to use this long voyage to practice my shaman knowledge.” What would be the effect of practicing shamanism in space? Feel the spirit of the star? The spirit of dark matter? The spirit of the cosmic storm? The spirit of the giant attractor?

“It’s a pity, it seems that only Elizabeth can take this position.”

Elizabeth is also a very capable person. She can play Jack Sparrow around and become the pirate king. She

has a good family background and is well-informed after coming to Winter Town. She is more than enough to be the sheriff of a town.

Even if there is something she doesn’t understand, she can directly ask her father Weatherby Swan.

She didn’t directly let Elizabeth serve as the sheriff because Weatherby Swan wanted to avoid suspicion.

He himself is already the political officer of Winter Town, and his future son-in-law Will Turner is also one of the current heads of Winter Town Alchemy Workshop. His daughter is also the sheriff. The Swan family is simply the first family in Winter Town.

Weatherby Swan, who has been in the officialdom for a long time, thinks this is not a good thing. It is too eye-catching and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the lord.

David can guess some of Weatherby’s thoughts. Out of respect for this political officer, David has never let Elizabeth take any position.

Now I really can’t think of a suitable candidate. Even if a suitable newcomer comes, it will take some time to learn and adapt to the life in Winter Town before he can really take up the post, so let Elizabeth take office.

“In addition to Elizabeth, you can also let the Autobots help patrol the town.”

These tall Cybertrons are still very deterrent if they wander around in human form, and the effect may be better than the puppets in Silvermoon City.

“Elizabeth Swan is in charge. The newly recruited security personnel, some Autobots and Squirtle, this team should be able to solve the security problems in Winter Town.”

The security solution was determined, and the substantial increase in crystal ore production made David in a good mood. When he returned to the office, he kissed Eva hard. Eva was inexplicably happy and smiled brilliantly.

After finishing his business, David began to think about the adventure to the north.

This time he was not considering equipment, but members!

In addition to Krauser, he also planned to call Medivh. If he encountered any mysterious mechanisms or problems there, the former guardian would be a good solution.

“Who else should we call?”

David suddenly felt like forming a team to brush the dungeon…
