"Councilor Xu Le, this thing..." Suppressing her shock, Duo Min acted like a curious young girl in front of Xu Le.
Duomin looks very attractive with her inexperienced and hazy eyes. Combined with her excellent looks, she is very attractive to ordinary men.
But unfortunately, Xu Le is not an ordinary man...
"Oh, this thing is the operation process of Guangming Soap Factory. Did they let you in?"
Xu Le pointed outside the factory with an unfriendly attitude, as if he was worried about his research.
Minduo felt somewhat dissatisfied when he saw that his subtle seduction had no effect.
Perhaps these researchers are just wooden, and to seduce them, perhaps some more explicit actions are needed.
"We had an appointment for an interview yesterday. We were supposed to do an interview and promotion for the Ancient Gods together, but you didn't come, so I found this place."
"Did I say that yesterday? Sorry, I forgot."
Xu Le still frowned and looked a little absent-minded.
"Is Councillor Xu Le confused about the research?"
"Yes, there is a problem with the energy conversion of the furnace, @#￥%!..." Xu Le began to talk about a series of strange formulas.
These formulas are far-fetched and sound very profound.
Duomin didn't understand at all.
In fact, it was normal that she didn't understand, because Xu Le himself didn't understand and was just chatting.
Moreover, a lot of the content was just Xu Le's own nonsense. If he were asked to repeat what he had just said, he might not be able to say it again.
"Councilman Xu Le is really professional. You have become a councilman, but you are still so devoted to research. You are really an amazing person."
“The position of councillor is just to provide convenience. My ideal has never changed, which is to become a researcher who will make the history of Zion remembered.”
There was longing in Xu Le's eyes.
Pure, too pure.
The more Duomin looked at Xu Le, the more certain he was: a pure researcher.
It is hard to link such a person to the Lighthouse Golden Tree incident, but it is not completely certain now...
And as for Xu Le himself, it would be easy to deal with him with rough means, but that would be a waste of his value.
He brought many surprises to the city and was very loyal. It would be difficult to persuade such a person to rebel.
However, it does not prevent the Temple from taking some of the results from him.
For example, this strange device that converts ancient sounds is worth further investigation.
"Councilman Xu Le, will my coming here have any impact on you? And the scene I just saw..." Duomin hesitated to speak.
“Oh, it’s okay, these things have been developed for a long time, and the specific confidentiality level is not very high. They will be announced after a while.
However, this device still has great hidden dangers. Until these hidden dangers are resolved, the announcement will have to be temporarily shelved.
In short, I have to give an explanation to the people of Zion."
Seeing that Xu Le couldn't stop talking about the people of Zion, Duomin nodded quietly, and unknowingly, the direction of the test had changed.
"Well, Councillor Xu Le, if there is no confidentiality agreement, can I take some photos here?"
"Well, sure. There's nothing to keep secret here."
Xu Le did not lie. The construction of the furnace, the seals, and the runes that transfer energy were not very rare things.
It is not even as valuable as the several forbidden techniques of the Red Moon Temple, so there is really no need to keep it secret.
There is actually only one thing that really needs to be kept secret, and that is the tree in the core room of the furnace.
The other stuff doesn't matter at all.
But Duomin didn't know. Not only Duomin, but even many people working in the furnace didn't understand what the core of the furnace was.
"Thank you, Councillor Xu Le, thank you so much."
"Well, it's okay, you can visit as much as you want. I still have to continue working, so I'm afraid I won't have much time to entertain you."
"OK."
After watching Xu Le leave, Duomin began to take pictures of the furnace frantically.
Shoot this way, shoot that way.
She made full use of a woman's passion for taking photos and took a lot of photos from various angles.
In her opinion, this was just a crazy way of collecting intelligence.
…
After saying goodbye to Duomin, Xu Le did not use the Cross-Boundary Gate, mainly because he was afraid that the fluctuations in psychic energy would attract the other party's attention.
There is no time to go to the office, Li Wen has been waiting here for a long time.
He already knew about Duomin's arrival.
"Tomorrow, the Ancient God Seed Plan will be announced and launched simultaneously. Don't we need to deal with this nail in the Red Moon Temple?"
Facing Li Wen's question, Xu Le just shook his head:
"It's not that we don't need it, it's that we can't. Zion doesn't have enough strength."
"Yes, Zion does not have enough power. It can even be said that the other three city-states were established with the support of the Red Moon Temple."
"Lord Li Wen, Zion is just like the Lighthouse. There are also masters from the Red Moon Temple stationed there, right? Have you seen them?"
At the lighthouse, Xu Le met Yu Long.
Yu Long is the garrison personnel left behind by the Red Moon Temple at the lighthouse. As a level 7 master, she has the ability to guard the entire lighthouse.
According to the support policy, Zion should also have such a person.
The guy who escaped and died during the last furnace construction should have been killed by the Guardian of Zion.
However, Xu Le was not sure whether such resident characters could be considered as guardians of the city.
Maybe it was the observer.
“Such a person does exist, and because of the relationship between Zion and the Red Moon Temple, more than one person was sent to guard the place. I remember there were two.
I haven't seen them specifically, but according to some intelligence, they should be a man and a woman, both of whom are relatively old."
"Two? That would be even more dangerous..."
"What are your thoughts now?"
"What is Uncle Li asking?"
"I'm not interested in the affairs of the ancient gods. Tell me about the plans for Sky City. We'll be ready to start construction soon.
As the chief designer, you should also reveal something to us, such as the overall direction."
Li Wen looked at Xu Le, although Xu Le told him about the plan for Sky City.
But there are only construction plans, no future urban planning.
Now that we are preparing to start construction, we still have to ask Xu Le, the chief designer, what he thinks.
To put it bluntly, if you have something to say, don't fart now. Don't look back when the house is half built. If you say you want floor-to-ceiling windows, that would be bad.
"There are no specific requirements for the overall planning of Sky City. If I have to mention some requirements, it's just one: don't fix the external framework."
"Don't fix the external frame?" Li Wen was a little curious. This request sounded quite strange.
"The main idea is that if there is a need to expand, Sky City can continue to expand based on the original main structure and become unlimited in size."
After hearing Xu Le say this, Li Wen felt even more strange.
"Why make a sky fortress so big?"
"If Zion were a safe city, it wouldn't need to be so big, but unfortunately, our safety is in the hands of others."
"Then according to your idea, how big should this sky city be?"
Xu Le hesitated for a while before slowly saying:
"It will be enough to accommodate the entire population of Zion."
"What? Are you kidding?" Li Wen, who was always calm, also felt that Xu Le was daydreaming at this time.
The sky he understood was a large floating fortress.
A floating military fortress, used for both offense and defense.
This will provide Zion with strong military protection.
In fact, Xu Le’s original idea was the same, but as time went on, he felt that this was not enough.
A military fortress cannot protect Zion.
The Zion people are valuable to him and Li Wen. Most of them support themselves and have long been influenced by the Zion ideology.
So there is no way for the people to be abandoned.
Don't abandon, don't give up, then you need protection.
The strongest force that Xu Le can support is the evil god, the Nail of Death, which Chi Xiao deposited in the Mother Tree Realm.
This level 7 creature could barely be summoned by himself for the sake of Chixiao, the mother tree.
However, it is almost impossible to expect it to fight to the death.
The two masters of the Red Moon Temple stationed in Zion are like two knives hanging over one's head.
Without high-end combat power, Zion would never be able to confront the Red Moon Temple head-on.
Only under certain conditions can Xu Le have the capital to deal with top masters, and that is the lighthouse.
Use towering trees to protect the floating city that flies into the sky.
A city that actually flies in the sky, rather than an aerial fortress, this is what Xu Le is thinking now.
"I'm not kidding, Uncle Li, this is a serious thought."
"Have you ever thought about how much steel, stone, and various building materials would be needed to build such a city
Once it reaches the size of a city, it will definitely need greenery, which means it will need soil, trees, and so many other things.”
"Uncle Li only needs to prepare the soil, trees, and building materials. As for the steel construction, I will ask others to help."
"Xu Le? This kind of thing cannot be done by just two people."
"No, under normal thinking, this kind of thing is indeed not something that one or two people can do, but for some special people, this kind of thing can actually be done, and it is not very difficult..."
Xu Le said it very confidently and calmly.
Li Wen looked at Xu Le for a while before nodding.
"It seems that many things in the extraordinary world are beyond my imagination."
"Uncle Li, there is no need to belittle yourself. Your ability is beyond the imagination of many people. If Zion didn't have you, it wouldn't be so stable and prosperous."
"Oh, don't give me that. I just did what I am good at. Everyone has their own strengths."
“It’s all about making Zion greater.”
“Yes, for Zion.”
…
After Li Wen left, Xu Le stood at the window and observed Duo Min for a while, then told Ai Li to follow her.
Although he knew what was going on, it was still risky for someone from the Red Moon Temple to be here.
After doing all this, Xu Le returned to his private lounge and then hesitated.
“If we want to build a giant sky city, Warlock Luo’s decomposition technique will be useless, and we must ask Chi Xiao for help.
But the problem now is, if you want to find Chi Xiao, you have to enter the realm of the mother tree.
After what happened last time..."
Xu Le didn’t know what would happen if he entered the Mother Tree Realm now, and whether he would be recognized
Is sacrifice still useful
If I enter rashly, will I be attacked by the mother tree
If the mother tree won't attack, then is it possible that it will drive the Death Nail to attack him
Xu Le squatted on the ground and thought for a long time. Finally, he took out a black card - the Black Sheep Girl, held it in his hand, and then held the black stick tightly in case of emergency.
Both the Black Rod and the Black Sheep Girl can quickly turn him into a dark place.
If all else fails, he can just pick up the bucket and run away.
"Almost."
Xu Le entered the spiritual space, came to the Tree of Souls, touched the branches, and felt the trembling of his soul.
Soon, his consciousness sank into the realm of the mother tree.
Tick, tick!
The familiar sound of dripping water was heard, Xu Le glanced at the surrounding environment and breathed a sigh of relief.
Anyway, at least the Mother Tree Realm has not rejected him.
"Let's go and have a look..."
Walking towards the mother tree, Xu Le's eyes brightened instantly.
Not only was he able to come here, but he also met Chi Xiao directly here. She was squatting on a stone, holding her chin with her hand, looking like she was thinking about something.
"I'm not fighting for equipment, what a pity..."
"Is it really such a pity?" After Xu Le muttered to himself, Chi Xiao's voice appeared directly behind him.
Xu Le was frightened.
"Uh, Lord Chi Xiao is really fast!"
"Heh." Chi Xiao sneered, then walked in front of Xu Le.
Boom!
After taking a few steps, there was a sound of something huge hitting steel, and Xu Le took a few steps back, not knowing why.
Then, he saw cracks appearing in the air and the iron plate controlled by Chi Xiao.
The figure of the Death Nail gradually emerged from the cracks in the air, staring at Xu Le with fierce eyes, and its hostility was very obvious.
Xu Le thought to himself:
"It is indeed hostile."
After the Nail of Death was left here by Chi Xiao, his consciousness and spirit were placed on the ancient Yinduo tree, and his condition was actually similar to that of Yama.
Now that it has attacked himself, it is obvious that the mother tree should also be hostile to him.
But the good news is that judging from the attack of the Death Nail, the mother tree itself should not be able to launch an attack.
This is a good thing for him.
"Get out of the way." Chi Xiao glared at the Nail of Death.
The fear of Chi Xiao was obviously greater than the loyalty to the mother tree, and the Death Nail left in disgrace.
Without its threat, Xu Le's pressure suddenly decreased.
"Thank you, Lord Chi Xiao."
"I released it. I have my reasons for attacking you now, so you don't have to thank me. However, between you and the mother tree..."
"Oh, those things are not important. I came here today to ask Lord Chi Xiao for a favor."
"Tell me what you need help with first." Chi Xiao did not agree immediately.
"Help me build a house."
