It took Richard a short time to move to his new residence.
It took about half an hour to clean up the dust in the residence and settle in.
In a flash, night falls.
…
night.
Halfway up Mount Vesuvius, in the town of Pompeii, 200 meters underground at No. 1248 Stone Building.
Richard was in a corridor that sloped downwards, with dirt and rocks in front of him, solidly blocking his way forward.
Richard stretched out his hand and pointed it at the soil and rocks, and the free energy elements from the source of magic in his body surged out.
"brush!"
A ray of earthy-yellow light flew out from the palm of his hand and hit the mud and stone. The mud and stone shook quickly and turned into fine powder with a "crash" sound, flowing all over the ground like sand.
Richard stepped forward and raised his hand. The powder flew up from the ground and flew around. It was compressed by the force to the walls of the corridor, which not only solved the storage problem but also strengthened the strength of the corridor.
After doing this, Richard's expression didn't change much. He stretched out his hand and continued to aim at the mud and rocks blocking the corridor further forward, and continued to cast spells.
In this way, the corridor continued to advance forward, first diagonally downward, and then became horizontal and westward.
About half an hour later, Richard cleared away a section of mud and rocks again and turned to look behind him. A faint blue light appeared in his eyes, activating his gaze eyes and scanning the surroundings.
"Now, it should be 220 meters below the stone tower and about 130 meters to the west." Richard said to himself, "This place is still about 50 meters away from the belly of the volcano, which is more suitable for use as an energy source. Transformation point. Of course, it is safer to look at the drawings for details."
As Richard spoke, the dim light in his eyes disappeared, he turned his hand and took out the space suitcase. Open it on the ground and enter quickly.
…
Garden of Eden.
Richard walked in and walked straight to the main laboratory.
There was a scroll on the circular table in the main laboratory. When Richard opened it, he saw many lines and number marks drawn on it, like a construction drawing.
After looking at the content on the scroll for a few times, Richard pressed a point with his finger, looked around and said to himself: "Well, this location is indeed very suitable as an energy conversion point. Next, get through Go to the tunnel in the belly of the volcano, draw out the heat energy from the belly of the volcano, and convert it into equipment before it can be used.
When the time comes, a new nuclear raw material purification assembly line will be established near the energy conversion point and work simultaneously with the assembly line in the Garden of Eden, which can greatly improve efficiency. In this way, as long as there are no problems at the Shambhala uranium mine, enough weapons-grade enriched uranium will be available within a few months. "
After speaking, Richard nodded slightly, turned around and walked out of the main laboratory, ready to leave the Garden of Eden and return to the outside world to continue working.
He thought about it and first opened up the selected location outside to form a cave to prepare for the establishment of a new nuclear raw material purification assembly line in the future.
And when he was about to leave, he thought of something again, turned his feet, and turned into the No. 3 Research Room where the ancient tree species Ximu is located.
In Research Room No. 3, Ximu stood quietly. Ever since he informed the other party to stop absorbing energy from the void before the war, the other party had remained like this. He didn't know if it was because he was sleeping or just out of boredom.
Richard walked to the other party and knocked on the tree trunk a few times to wake him up.
The bark of the tree twisted, and a human face appeared from the trunk. Ximu asked unhappily: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just want to inform you that the vacation is over. From now on, you can continue to absorb energy from the void." Richard said.
"Okay, I got it." Ximu responded without much excitement. The tree trunk shook, and arcs flashed on the branches on the crown of the tree. After a while, the arc became densely packed, covering the entire canopy. The arc then passed downwards, injected into the energy controller along the wires, and then transmitted to the outside of the room to work.
Richard walked to the energy controller, looked at a few readings on the instrument, made some simple operations, and made sure there was no big problem. He nodded, turned around and walked out.
"Hey, kid, wait a minute." Ximu suddenly stopped Richard at this time.
"What?" Richard stopped, turned to look at Ximu, and asked, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, has the trouble you encountered before been solved?" Ximu asked. As an advanced being, he had already guessed that when Richard asked him to pause energy absorption and move his position, he encountered No small trouble.
After listening to Ximu's words, Richard raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment and said, "It's solved, don't worry, and I also got a lot of gains."
"Not a small gain? So what is it?" Ximu asked.
"If a new external energy source is developed, the energy it supplies will not be weaker than yours." Richard said, "This is a good thing for you. With this energy source, I will build a set of energy sources outside." The new equipment can double the production of some products to meet my needs. In this way, you no longer have to worry about me building energy-absorbing towers to occupy your room."
"Is that so?" Ximu responded. Seeing that Richard was about to walk out again, he asked strangely from behind, "But why do you have to build new equipment outside? Doing so will waste a lot of your time, right?" ? Wouldn’t it be easier to move the new energy source you found here and supply energy to the equipment here at the same time as me? "
After hearing this, Richard shook his head slightly and said, "I'm afraid not. The energy source outside is not an immortal creature like you and cannot be moved."
"Then what if you keep your space props turned on and introduce energy from external energy sources? In this way, wouldn't you also be able to supply energy to the facilities here?" Ximu said.
"Huh?" Richard frowned, thinking carefully about Ximu's words. According to Ximu's suggestion, he could just build an energy conversion device outside and transmit the converted energy to the Garden of Eden for use.
This can indeed save a lot of time, but there are also some problems.
"It is indeed feasible to bring in energy from the outside, but the burden on the energy system here will increase and it will easily get out of control." Richard said.
"You don't have to worry about that," Ximu said, "As an advanced being, I can not only provide energy, but also stabilize the energy to ensure that nothing happens."
"You seem to be very enthusiastic about this matter." Richard suddenly glanced at Ximu thoughtfully and said slightly warily, "I'm a little curious about what good this will do for you."
"Of course there are benefits." Ximu's tone did not change and he said, "If you really want me to help you stabilize your energy, I won't help you in vain. I request that my contract period be reduced, at least... one... half a month! "
"Reducing the contract period by half a month? Is this your purpose?" Richard did not eliminate his suspicion, looking at Ximu with burning eyes, "Why do I feel that you are more like keeping the space props open to provide you with escape condition?"
