Chapter 126 Digging All the Way Down to the Center of the Earth

"By the way, Nini, there is one more thing. I want to ask you who is in charge of the construction now?"

"I'm not sure either. You can ask in the group. I'm basically only responsible for the development of spells and the casting of steam engines."

As she spoke, she tossed the newly cast parts into the bag.

When the banshees first came up, they basically worked together. At that time, Zeus was really short of manpower. He didn't have the idea of ​​keeping these banshees for free, so he left some work to Ash, who was in charge of all the work.

Later, when the factories were basically stable, the banshees no longer assigned work to each other, but moved closer to a hiring system. He delegated workshop projects, and the banshees could choose to come to work on their own. Points were issued based on the workload, which was the virtual currency created by the banshees.

This of course led to a decline in organization, but now is not wartime, and he does not have any urgent production tasks, so why bother with such a high level of organization?

What's more, with the mental connection, it is quite convenient to organize the banshees. Now they can freely choose their favorite jobs, which is more efficient.

For example, Nini studied magic day and night, and often called Xius through a mental link in the middle of the night to tell him about her new discoveries.

Xius called out a few times in the mind link, and Una responded, saying that she would come over soon.

This was somewhat beyond Hughes's expectations.

"Oona is here to do the construction? I thought Ash would be in charge."

"Ash, she's only interested in fighting. She has no passion for research or construction. Oh, by the way, there's a contaminated wolf she's researching right now, but I think she's keeping it as a pet."

"As a pet?"

"Yeah, she has trained the wolf to follow orders although I don't know what the use of a wolf is."

Hughes stroked his chin. Indeed, what use could a polluted wolf be? "Lord, you called me?"

A somewhat timid voice sounded from the depths of the underground palace. Xius and Nini turned their heads and saw Una approaching.

"Yes. I heard that you are now in charge of the construction?"

"Master, lead!"

She suddenly became a little nervous, subconsciously waved her hands, and said haltingly, "Not really, I am the leader. I really like architecture more, and I spend more time on it. Gradually, people come to ask me when they have questions."

“That’s amazing.”

Una's face turned visibly red, and the tip of her tail scratched the ground, making a hole in the smooth surface. At this rate, she would soon be able to carve out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

"Has she always been like this?"

Xius calmly opened the mind link and began to chat privately with Nini.

"Well, Oona is indeed a shy person, but she is very talented in architecture. I don't understand those things, but the things she built look very comfortable. Look, the palace over there was built by her."

Zeus glanced into the distance. That was the underground palace in this huge cave. Zeus had been down there many times and had seen it built from beginning to end.

At first, this was just a natural cave. The Banshees dug out a few rooms to use for rest and to store supplies.

Later, Zeus moved the wine-making workshop down, and the banshees dug through the middle of the cave, turning it into a huge hall, surrounded by various functional rooms and workshops.

Finally, after the banshees no longer assigned work in a unified manner, some banshees who loved architecture, or loved digging holes underground, quickly built this place into a huge palace, and its appearance was changing at a rapid speed every day.

Today's palace has gone through countless iterations. The overall design style is cold and sharp, with a large number of sharp angles around the building, giving it a weird aesthetic.

Why does it feel a bit like the place where the villain boss would live?

"Oona, I actually have a project I want to give you."

"Oh, me?"

"Yes."

Hughes drew a three-dimensional picture of Castel in his mind and sent it through the mental link.

"Take a look at the private message. This is the structural diagram of Castel. Is it okay?"

"There is a slight deviation, the southern volcano is not quite accurate. This is good."

She made some minor revisions and sent it back.

"Let me see. Hmm, not much difference." Xius nodded. "Where is the Abyss you went to before?"

When Nini and Una heard the word "Mingyuan", the expressions on their faces gradually became serious.

"It's in the south, not far from here, but very deep. Why do you ask this, Lord? The Abyss is now full of pollution."

"What I want is pollution. Now that physical pollution can basically be used as fuel, the source of pollution needs to be solved. I'm considering starting from here."

Hughes pointed to the southeastern part of the island.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

".Dig down, open up a passage to the Abyss, and then pump out the pollution inside."

Nini and Una gasped.

The structure of Castel is somewhat like a pyramid, and the part that is exposed above the water, that is, the land, is just the top of the pyramid.

And below is the main body composed of huge rocks, volcanoes, etc.

The place that Hughes drew was the road that went through the rocks all the way down to the abyss after avoiding the volcano.

"How is this possible? You want to dig into the Abyss?"

Nini opened her eyes wide.

"Yes, so I wanted to come and discuss this with you."

"This is too crazy, how..."

"No, I think it's theoretically possible." Una suddenly spoke up, interrupting Nini's words. "There's solid rock underneath this location. If we just dig a passage down, it shouldn't be difficult."

She looked carefully at the picture in the mind link.

"I don't know much about construction. Will it be dangerous? Like digging into lava or water?"

It is true that Zeus had never dug an underwater tunnel. This experience he gained from digging mines in the game.

"It's not dangerous. If it's lava, just use the flesh and blood magic. You'll just get hurt. If it's water, just block it. We are underwater creatures."

As she spoke, Una patted her tail.

"I'm just curious, after this channel is dug, how will the pollution be brought up?"

"We can use a steam engine. The Type II has already been successfully used in the factory. We can just build another one to extract the pollution. It doesn't even have to be that complicated. We can try to use the pollution's living properties. Remember the wolf that was used to lure out the pollution?"

Nini and Una looked at each other, and their eyes lit up.
