Standing on top of a mountain-like Yuntie, Carl wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.

After two days of sailing, he obtained some pyroxene ore sporadically.

But because the materials were too scarce, he had to put them away temporarily and wait until another day.

He originally thought that Yuntie was a relatively rare material, and he began to doubt whether his previous choice was too optimistic.

Unexpectedly, just after getting up today, he found this abnormally white cumulonimbus cloud under his feet, so he came over to take a look with the mentality of giving it a try.

This test was amazing. The clouds stretching for more than ten kilometers were actually the so-called iron clouds.

This made Carl wonder whether this special material would be very common in the Elemental Plane of Air.

With sufficient materials, Carl then started to do what he was best at - mass production! He first asked the three Iron Ants to help build a production line for mass production of Iron Ants, and then put all the mined Cloud Iron into the first phase of Cloud Iron Ant production.

As new iron ants are assembled, new production lines and mining teams begin to increase gradually, eventually forming a positive cycle.

However, there are still some problems. That is, this area is still unable to perform summoning rituals and spells. The newly created iron ants only have the most basic intelligence and can only perform simple mining work.

Even so, the entire cumulonimbus cloud began to be quickly eaten away by the iron ants.

After the number of iron ants reached a certain level, Carl stopped building the iron ants.

Looking at the spectacular sight of iron ants mining Yunnan iron all over the mountains, Carl expressed the same emotion as before.

"Karl~, it's time to eat~!"

Suddenly, Hope's voice called from a distance.

After taking a look at the bustling construction site, Carl reminded A Da and A Er to be careful of strong air currents that might blow the mined Yun iron away, and then took Xiao Ming back to eat.

Today's lunch is a hippogriff, which is a distant relative of the griffin. The back half of its body is not that of a lion, but of a horse. Other than that, it is basically the same as a griffin.

Although the food Carl had saved was enough for them to survive here for one to two years, since there were animals in this area, it would be a more sustainable development strategy to capture them and eat them first.

"Ouch~, this meat is a bit stuck in my teeth."

Carl chewed the somewhat hard steak and after just two bites, he felt the meat shreds blocking his teeth.

The other people had almost the same expression at this time. In the end, everyone found the food they had prepared and had a barbecue.

"Next time, you can try using the meat of the hippogriff to make stuffing."

Before returning to the mine, Carl made his proposal.

"Alas, I don't know when we can make a usable spaceship, let alone when we can fly out of this forbidden area."

Lamenting in his heart, Carl started building the spaceship again.

…

“Boom—”

In the lead-gray sea of ​​clouds, purple electric snakes were roaming around.

In this harsh environment, a pure white spaceship is trying to cross the sea of ​​clouds.

Fist-sized hailstones hit the hull of the spacecraft with a crackling sound, and from time to time one or two lightning bolts would join in the fun.

The main body of the spacecraft is roughly flat, but it does not appear to be complete.

But despite this, the length of this spacecraft is close to 100 meters.

Its well-streamlined shape gives it extremely low wind resistance, and the oncoming storm does not pose much threat to its gradually increasing speed.

At this moment, inside the spaceship, Carl was sitting in the driving seat, connecting his consciousness with the hull of the spaceship.

His special mechanical talent allowed him to clearly sense the shortcomings of the spacecraft. While flying, he kept those shortcomings in mind and would make adjustments after returning.

Half a month had passed since he started building this spaceship.

Because of neglect, Carl's face was covered with beard.

"The tail structure can be adjusted. As for the ammunition system, I didn't expect it to have problems at the critical moment. Why not just dismantle it? Anyway, this part is mainly used for escaping. Installing too many weapons will affect the speed."

Muttering to himself about the shortcomings of the spacecraft, Carl used his mind to control the spacecraft to make an almost right-angle turn in mid-air, then quickly pierced through the sea of ​​clouds and left the storm.

Returning to the clear area, the spacecraft's speed gradually decreased, and finally hovered in the air.

The magic pattern on the bottom of the spaceship was rhythmically moving. This was a magic pattern that represented the detection of magic, but it was magnified to the size of the spaceship.

As the function of the magic pattern was activated, a radar-like pattern emerged in Carl's mind.

At the 1 o'clock position of his current position, a conspicuous red dot is constantly flashing.

After confirming the opponent's position, Carl immediately changed direction and flew rapidly towards the red dot.

He quickly broke through the sound barrier, and the sound barrier cloud gathered the water molecules in the air behind him, leaving behind a trail of white mist.

More than ten minutes later, the red dot in Carl's consciousness began to move obviously, and Carl began to slow down gradually.

Manipulating the shuttle-shaped spaceship, Carl hovered at a position at the back of the huge spaceship, then slowly descended and completed the merger with the huge spaceship.

"Shh~"

As soon as the two were connected and the passages on both sides were opened, Nia and Hope came aggressively from the inside of the huge spaceship to the part controlled by Carl.

Feeling the arrival of his two girlfriends, Carl suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Carl quickly took off the helmet that controlled the spacecraft and tried to put on a charming smile, but Hope shaved a notch on his beard with the razor he made.

"Karl! You need to take a break! You've been working almost continuously for half a month! We are really worried that you will die suddenly here one day!"

Seeing that Karl wanted to stand up, Nia pushed him back into his seat without saying anything.

He wanted to say something, but Hope, who was shaving him, shocked him with a look.

Soon, Carl's beard was trimmed.

Looking at Carl, who had transformed from a sloppy mechanic back into a sunny boyfriend, Hope and Nia nodded in unison.

"Be obedient and have a good sleep tonight. We have already accepted the fact that we may live here for the rest of our lives, so let's slow down the ship."

Holding Carl's face gently, Nia asked in a pleading tone.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll go to bed soon."

Gently stroking Nia's head, Karl kissed her forehead and stood up from his chair.

With the help of the two, Carl came all the way to the residential area, and was handed a plate of hamburgers by Ying who had been waiting there for a long time.

Carl took it and took a bite, and found that it tasted pretty good. Although the meat patty was still a little bit stuck in his teeth, it was much better.

As if sensing Carl's thoughts, Ying replied in a cold voice: "This is made from hippogriff meat. Mitris and I used the Wind Blast to process the steak. Does it taste much better than the first time I ate it?"

With his eyes wide open in surprise, Carl nodded, then quickly finished all the burgers as if he hadn't eaten for three days, and took the drink handed to him by Ying and took a sip.

This drink has a refreshing aroma and tastes like sparkling water.

Carl remembered that this was the characteristic of the plant juice that Nia found on a floating island.

'Are they really ready to live in this restricted area for the rest of their lives? They've even started developing something like this!'

Carl swallowed all the sparkling water in two times. Just as he was about to explain something, he was dragged into the bedroom of four people by three people.

After a while, a light snoring sound was heard in the room.

"Huh! This guy finally went to sleep. I was so worried that something might happen to him!"

Watching Karl fall asleep, Nia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the bedroom door was opened from the outside, and Mitris and Iris also walked in.

"The gravity device has been debugged. Once Carl wakes up, we can try to keep the spaceship moving. We don't know when we can escape from the current environment..."

Looking at everyone, Iris continued to speak softly with the look of a widow whose husband died just after she got married.

Everyone knew that this was because she had severed the spiritual connection with her own dream spirit and had not been able to adapt, so they did not blame her for posing like this in order to seduce their men.

"In fact, there is no need for him to build the spaceship so big. Even if I turned into a falcon, it would take me a long time to fly from the bow to the stern. The total length of this spaceship must be at least two kilometers!"

Looking at Carl who was almost unconscious, Mitris scratched her hair and spoke a little irritably.

However, the reason why Carl made the spaceship so big was entirely because the cloud iron mine he encountered before was this big.

So in order to pack up all the cloud iron, he just built a huge empty shell for the spacecraft.

Fortunately, Yuntie itself is light in weight and high in strength. Although it is only supported by a basic skeleton, its strength is surprisingly good.

Just as everyone was discussing how to spend the future, Carl met the sun again in the dream world.

…

"Hiss~! I feel like this scene is somewhat familiar, and this feeling of warmth from the sun all over my body... why does this sun feel real?"

Every time he falls asleep, Carl becomes very interested in the sun that appears in the dream world, but every time he wakes up from a dream, he forgets the existence of the sun because of an unknown force.

After being illuminated by the sun in this dream many times, orange-gold lines appeared on Carl's mecha body again.

However, unlike the past half month, this time, the orange-gold lines did not disappear directly after flowing, but instead left traces on Carl's dream body.

This strange situation soon attracted Carl's attention, so Carl tried to chase the sun in the sky.

This time, he succeeded.
