The barren land is covered with gray gravel and loess. It seems to be a forbidden zone for life. Even weeds can hardly grow here. The strong wind drags up huge waves, smashing them hard on the smooth reefs, breaking them into countless bubbles, and repeating this process over and over again.
This is a somewhat monotonous and dead land, with few traces of life and only endless desolation. In this cold tone, cold buildings rise up one after another, like a wildly growing steel jungle. In the midst of the iron color, a striking red is burning. Along with the meshing of gears, heavy hammers continue to smash the red-hot metal, bringing up bursts of sparks.
The Horn of Raging Waves Naval Base is a secret naval base established by the Purification Agency. At the same time, it is also a huge industrial zone. After Old Dunling was severely damaged, the production focus of the Machinery Institute and the Perpetual Motion Pump was also transferred here to continue to perform their functions.
"You dug out the lacquer antimony in this kind of damn place?"
Lorenzo stepped on the gray gravel. The strong light was scorching. He squinted his eyes and observed the place with difficulty.
"It's desolate, but it's a treasure trove," Merlin followed Lorenzo and introduced the place to him, "You didn't investigate it carefully last time you came here."
"Of course, I can hardly remember that time."
Lorenzo muttered that it was here that he met Zuo Zhen when he was planning the Deus Ex Machina, but for the safety of the plan, he forgot about it afterwards.
Now everything is over, and the lost memories have been restored a lot, but every time he thinks of this place, it always seems a bit blurry, making it difficult for Lorenzo to see its appearance clearly.
Coming back here again and looking at all this, Lorenzo had the feeling of a puzzle being put back together, peeling off the missing details and constantly filling in the gaps in his memory.
"This is the second heart of the Purification Agency. Speaking of its origin, it can be traced back to the Glorious War."
Merlin stood aside and spoke slowly.
"how?"
Lorenzo didn't expect that this place was actually related to the Glorious War.
"At that time, the situation in Invervig was critical, and the army of Gaulnalo was about to reach Old Dunling. In order to continue the battle, once Old Dunling fell, this place would be used as a new position... You know what happened afterwards. We won, but the construction here was not put on hold. Instead, it was accelerated a lot."
Listening to the crash sounds echoing in the industrial area, bursts of thick black smoke poured out from the chimneys. They piled up together, hovering in the sky, refusing to dissipate for a long time.
"This place is rich in mineral resources and close to the coast. Not to mention that I also dug out crude oil from it and refined lacquer antimony from it."
"So it's called the Second Heart?" Lorenzo looked around. "What's here? Some kind of giant cannon? With just one shot, it can launch us all to the Seven Hills?"
Lorenzo looked a little sad. He had trouble sleeping along the way because there were too many things bothering him.
Putting aside those trivial matters, what he cared about most was the next journey. The Well of Sublimation had begun to become restless, and no one knew what the final outcome of the Seven Hills would be. More importantly, Lawrence had set sail. This guy had acted earlier than Lorenzo and others, and he was very afraid that he would be slower than Lawrence.
