As they made their way here, Jiang Ruobai's team made a new discovery.
This place is like a transition zone - out of the metal forest, there is a grassland.
Similar to the metal forest, all the plants and animals on the grassland have been metalized.
When Luo Xinglan saw this metalized grassland, he was shocked by the scene before him.
If you don't look closely, it looks like a normal grassland: weeds, bushes, hares, birds... even insects.
But at this moment, they have completely lost their vitality and have all become metallic.
The metal forest we just saw contained no animals, only a dense forest.
It doesn't resemble a forest at all; it's more like a mass-produced product.
Jiang Mingze suddenly pointed ahead: "There seems to be a signal tower up ahead!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing.
Qian Duoduo rubbed his eyes: "Signal tower? Why can't I see anything?"
Sun Zexia: "It's too far away to see clearly, but it is indeed there."
Jiang Ruobai: "That's right, it is indeed a signal tower."
Luo Xinglan: "Why is there a signal tower on the grassland? Do you think that signal tower might be the key to unlocking the secrets of this metal forest?"
Ouyang Aotian: "Why don't you go and take a look and find out?"
Sun Zexia: "Yes, let's go check it out! I've had enough of this metal forest!"
After saying that, he lifted his foot to walk towards the grassland.
Jiang Ruobai stopped him: "Don't rush, don't you think this vegetable garden is also a bit strange?"
Sun Zexia scratched his head: "Huh? What's wrong? It's just a patch of land, isn't it? It's a grassland, isn't it?"
Luo Xinglan: "It's more than that. The metal grassland and the metal forest, one is lifelike, the other looks like a product from a factory assembly line... Don't you have any doubts?"
Sun Zexia's CPU was almost overheating, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Luo Xinglan: "I suspect this is a real grassland, but something happened that turned it into the metal it is today."
Sun Zexia: "Huh? What happened?"
Luo Xinglan looked at the signal tower in the distance: "That should be the tower."
Jiang Mingze felt a chill on his back. "Sister Lan, are you saying that the signal emitted by that signal tower will turn everything into metal?"
Luo Xinglan nodded: "That's right, and our current location should be beyond the signal coverage range. However, this idea still needs to be verified."
Sun Zexia was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly: "What? That signal tower is that scary?"
Luckily, he didn't step onto the grassland, or he would have turned into a lump of metal by now.
Liu Hongtao: "But if, as Xinglan said, this is a place where there is no signal coverage, then how did the metal forest come about? Logically speaking, a metal forest that is not covered by signal should not be metallized."
Luo Xinglan: "I have a hypothesis about the formation of the metal forest. It was probably created by signal towers, and its formation is different from that of the metal grassland."
Liu Hongtao: "Produced by the signal tower? That's an interesting guess."
Ouyang Aotian stroked his chin: "So what we need to do now is to verify Xinglan's idea and see if that signal tower can really turn everything into metal."
Sun Zexia: "I'll do it!"
After saying that, he took out his crossbow and shot an arrow into the grassland.
The arrow had barely entered the grassland when it suddenly plummeted to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
"when-"
It produced a crisp metallic clang.
The result is obvious.
Sun Zexia: "Just as Xiao Lanlan said, the signal can make everything metallic."
Liu Di: "If we can't go inside to check the signal tower, we won't be able to figure out how to de-metallize it or how to get out of here?"
Luo Xinglan smiled confidently: "We can't get in, but someone can."
Liu Di was taken aback: "Huh? Who is it? Didn't you say the signal would make everything metallic? Are there people who aren't affected?"
Everyone looked at Luo Xinglan with confusion.
Yeah, who wouldn't be affected?
Luo Xinglan: "The little robots are made of metal, so they are not afraid of being metalized."
Sun Zexia exclaimed with admiration, "Holy crap, Xiao Lanlan, you're a genius! That's right, the little robot is made of metal, so of course it won't be afraid of being metalized! Hehe, let my little robot give it a try!"
After saying that, he summoned his little robot.
He directed one of them into the grassland.
Amidst the tense gazes of the crowd, the little robot slowly walked into the grassland and moved forward without being affected in the slightest!
"Great!" Sun Zexia said excitedly, "Let's just keep going forward and check out the signal tower in the distance!"
The little robot walked forward on its short legs.
Everyone waited in place, waiting for the little robot to bring back the results of its exploration.
Half an hour later, the little robot came back.
Sun Zexia almost jumped up in excitement: "Why are you back so soon?"
It seems that the signal tower is very far away from here. According to the speed of the little robot, it should not be able to complete a round trip so quickly.
The little robot said: "Master, I haven't walked to the signal tower. If I go beyond a certain distance from you, I won't be able to function normally."
Sun Zexia was a little disappointed: "Ah? So there's a distance limit between you and me..."
The little robot clumsily consoled him, "Master, don't be discouraged. As your level increases, the distance between us will also increase. So as long as you work hard to improve your level, I will definitely be able to reach the signal tower!"
Sun Zexia: “…”
After feeling frustrated for almost half a minute, he looked expectantly at Luo Xinglan, another mechanical maker in the team: "Little Lanlan, what level are you now? Will your little robot be able to reach the signal tower smoothly?"
Luo Xinglan: "I'm level 30, but I'm not sure if the little robot can actually walk over there."
She was also learning for the first time that there was a distance limit between the little robot and its owner.
As for the exact distance, she had no idea.
But I have to give it a try.
She summoned Little Robot No. 2 and commanded it to go to the signal tower.
No. 2 set off in high spirits.
Everyone waited anxiously once again.
Soon, Number 2 returned.
Before Luo Xinglan could ask, it said dejectedly, "Master, I haven't reached the signal tower."
After hearing these words, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
