Um... am I sitting too close?
But since the girl doesn't mind, why should I say anything?
I explained it to her carefully.
After dealing with temperature, there's still pressure.
The more she asked, the more I felt something was wrong.
"What exactly are you researching?"
"Beneath this base, there's a strange place filled with lava. Although it can generate electricity, the depths are unstable."
No wonder they put the base here; it turns out it can generate electricity.
“The generators there burn out from time to time. We want to make a high-temperature resistant detector to go down and see why it’s unstable.”
"Take me to see it."
"Great! Engineer Zheng will definitely be able to make a good detector."
Ayan Guli was able to take me there directly, without me even having to find the director.
“This mine has existed for a very long time. Archaeologists have been here and say it was left at least a thousand years ago.”
You can tell just by looking at this road; otherwise, who would come here to mine?
We walked all the way to a point about fifty meters away from the lava pit.
This place is like a skylight, with lava below, but it's blocked by the power generation equipment.
"I can't see clearly from here."
As I spoke, I started walking down.
"Engineer Zheng! It's too hot down there, you can't get close."
"I'm fine! You go back first."
I'm not afraid of the heat, because I have royal blood!
It's so hot down there, I feel like my clothes are melting.
I had to use a force field to support it.
I sensed an electronic signal, but it wasn't from the power generation device; the signal was still below.
Following the spiral steps left behind, I am nearing the bottom.
When I got within ten meters, I suddenly felt the heat disappear, and at the same time, I saw a hidden door in the cave wall.
I opened the door and went inside.
Is this... a Shiyan person?
It startled me. There were three people sitting in front of a piece of equipment, and one of them was wearing an alloy headband.
In front of each of the three was a bottle containing the blood of the core machine.
This really caught my eye.
That's exactly what I need right now.
Having Aunt Jun alone isn't enough; I want to have all the women I need.
Peng Jun said that the feeling of watching the woman he loves grow old and die in front of him is too painful.
If I could match other women with these qualities, wouldn't it be wonderful if they could stay with me forever?
I quickly grabbed a bottle, opened the cork, and saw that it was empty.
It's not empty yet; opening the others reveals the same thing.
That's going too far!
Three bottles, not a single drop of the core's blood.
I went up to the device, looked it over, and felt that it was just an energy conversion and power supply device.
A thick wire led underground, with the other end connected to the alloy headband.
Moreover, this device can still operate.
After operating it for a while, I discovered that this machine actually extracts heat from magma for power.
There's also a video behind the operating system.
When I opened it, I saw a person dressed like a skeleton.
He stood weakly in front of the camera: "We both lost our core essence to the master, but the master still failed, and our heart essence was also burned dry."
Without royal blood, this experiment could not have succeeded. I hope my fellow countrymen who come after me will take note.
What is impossible to succeed at?
That's where the crucial video ends.
I went up to the skull wearing a headband and took it off.
Holy crap! This headband is still working.
No wonder the lava would go out of control from time to time; the pressure and temperature of the lava would change once the machine was running.
The key question is, what is this thing for, and how can it burn away the lifeblood of the core?
I can't do without royal blood, but I have it!
I was just considering whether to give it a try when suddenly my hand went numb.
Oh no! This thing can be used without being worn on the head.
I wanted to throw the headband away, but it's like it's stuck to my hand.
I tried to push harder, but suddenly, I felt dizzy and my whole body ached as if it were about to fall apart.
Holy crap! What is this thing?
I haven't felt pain in a long time, but this time, the pain was so intense I felt like I was going to faint.
Neither the King's Blood nor the Core Machine's Blood works well.
No, I can't faint. I still want to get rid of this headband.
"ah……"
It hurt so much that I couldn't help but cry out.
It was a pain that went deep into your bones.
It felt like countless tiny insects were burrowing into my bone marrow.
I endured the pain for over an hour, my clothes were soaked through, and then suddenly the pain disappeared.
"Bang!" I slammed the headband to the ground.
Damn it, you almost got me killed.
Wait a minute! My AI level has actually reached level ten!
Level 10 costs 320,000, and I'm already leveling up?
I'll try... wait a minute, where are my Core Blood and Royal Blood?
He no longer possessed the blood of the Core Machine, nor the royal blood in his bones.
Could it have burned dry?
Damn it! How can you be so irresponsible?
I lifted my foot and, with a "crack," broke the alloy headband into several pieces.
No! Without the blood of the core machine and the blood of the king, I couldn't possibly exert this much force.
It seems bigger than before.
The ground is made of stone, but when I stepped on it, the ground cracked like a spider web.
With another thought, the force field lifted the device up.
It can still connect to electronic devices, and it seems to be even faster.
Holy crap! They're still there, and they're incredibly strong.
No! I need to figure this out.
"I'm sorry!" It was the skeleton wearing the headband just now; I broke its spine.
