The next morning, when Roland walked out of the bedroom and came to the castle hall, the Taquila witches who had broken the connection raised their elbows to him, exercising the highest courtesy of the Federation. .
"Good morning, Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality."
"Last night can be said to be the best experience I have had in a hundred years."
"I will look forward to the next reunion with the dream in the decisive battle."
"...What happened last night?" Anna asked curiously after the happy and contented witch of God's Punishment left the castle.
"A sumptuous high-end banquet." Roland laughed. With the cooperation of Tong En, Duoduo swept away nearly half of the food on the table. Thanks to a dinner party of this size, it will never count how much guests eat. Even if it is thrown away, it will be filled with new meals immediately. If it is an ordinary self-service restaurant, I am afraid that the waiter will already be watching. After all, according to the consumption rate of the "invisible pocket", ten mouths are not enough to eat.
"I hear... I'm hungry." A grunt came from Anna's stomach, "When can I eat those things?"
Looking at the blue eyes that the other party was looking forward to, Roland couldn't help but reached out and touched her head, "In a few years, it will definitely be possible."
High-end delicacy is mainly reflected in the ingredients. The reason why modern people can enjoy the delicacies of mountains and seas from all over the world relies on the developed transportation network. If you want to eat fresh sea urchins from Bishui Port in Neverwinter, you must at least double the speed of inland ships.
Of course, even if the technology fails to meet the requirements in a short period of time, as long as he can make a final decision in the decisive battle and completely drive the devil out of the fertile plains, it would be good to take the Seagull to go to various places in Greycastle for honeymoon and enjoy special food.
Breakfast is the usual egg bread, plus a cup of Chaos drink, which is not too tempting for Roland, who has also eaten and drank a lot in the sea of dreams. However, thinking that the Taquila witch still had to rely on high-heat dry food shaped like chewing wax to supplement his body's consumption, he still ate the contents of the dinner plate.
After breakfast, Anna quickly said goodbye to him and set off for the North Slope Research Laboratory. Whether in Neverwinter or on the front line, she rarely had free time. In fact, most of the members of the Witch League are like that. Back in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, he could see familiar figures passing by from time to time in the vestibule. The witches have fully integrated into the city and are working with ordinary people to create the future they want.
At this moment, Nightingale pushed open the door and walked in.
"A letter from the Daqing Port Garrison." She put a thick paper package on the desk, "I saw Sean holding this when I was downstairs, so I brought it here."
"So heavy?" Roland picked up the paper cutter.
"It should have been delivered by sea." Nightingale walked behind him and took out a bag of dried honeydew fish from the drawer. "I have checked and found nothing out of the ordinary."
Roland opened the paper bag and dumped the contents out. In addition to the letter paper and a stack of sketches, there were several sealed bags of "stones". In terms of appearance, it is basically similar to the sample presented by Rex last time.
He quickly glanced through the contents of the letter and couldn't help frowning. The report of the First Army shocked him. The so-called ancient ruins are not just a small area of the cave at the bottom of the sea, but the normal state all over the cape!
After receiving his order, the Daqing Port garrison immediately took action. According to the instructions of Sinbad of Mojin, they buried a large amount of explosives above the sea cave and directly blew the entire cave roof upside down. The enraged iron-clad giant scorpion broke out of the ground, and then was surrounded and beaten by several machine gun squads and mortar squads on the bare sand, and was beaten into a hornet's nest before climbing ten steps.
This result is not unexpected, the real surprise is the subsequent clean-up exploration work.
The engineering team's measurements showed that the explosives caused the ground to sink in different depths in a radius of hundreds of meters, which far exceeded the expected effect of the explosives. From the accompanying hand drawing, he saw that the huge sand surface formed a sliding slope, as if the whole earth had collapsed.
After that, the First Army carried out several blasts, and organized manpower to move sand and dig holes. Finally, 16 exploration points where "stickman relics" could be excavated near Daqing Port were found. If they were connected into a line, The coverage is enough to hold seven or eight seaports.
Due to the limited manpower, the sand people only cleared three slumps in a month, but the results obtained were strikingly similar. All of them were covered with a five-to-ten-meter-thick "stone wall" under the desert. , and in places that are not filled with stone tablets, you can see clusters of green grass spitting out.
After flipping through the vivid hand-painted scenes, Roland couldn't help falling into silence.
First of all, I have to admit that this is excellent news.
If the stele is exploited as a resource, the more reserves, the better. Now that the finalization of the tracer bullets has been completed, with this news, mass production is guaranteed.
What's more, there must be more than one application of this peculiar piezoelectric silicide. Just what he can think of now, there are pressure gauges, lighters, quartz clocks, etc...
There is also the imitation of the ritual Rubik's cube. Although the exploration results show that the number of radioactive relics is far less than that of the stickman, it is not a problem to make up a bunch of Rubik's cubes. For example, the samples returned this time can almost satisfy Celine's research. demand.
The content that can be hidden under the report makes people shudder.
There are so many "stone monuments" found just near Daqing Port. How many stone monuments will there be under the entire Endless Cape? If you think of them as the remains of silicon-based creatures, the larger the number, the more tragic the war of genocide.
Moreover, the soil structure of the three slumps is almost the same, indicating that they should have been formed in the same period.
An incredible picture gradually formed in Roland's mind.
Perhaps the desertification in the extreme south was not caused by lack of water, and Yinchuan was not an underground river from the very beginning. It used to be lush and green, and it was no different from the rest of the mainland.
Until the war continued here.
A surprising number of stickmen were killed by the radioactive tribe, and the corpses were spread all the way, covering the entire land. This can be confirmed by the frescoes in the Temple of the Damned, where the Radiants finally seized the relics of the gods and won the war.
The key is after the war of divine will is over.
The corpse of silicon-based life will not decay as quickly as carbon-based, turning into nutrients for soil and returning to the cycle of the biosphere. Layer upon layer of shells are stacked on the grass, perhaps thicker than several floors. The river was blocked, the woods were overwhelmed, and most of the plants lost their living space. Only the vines could climb up the gaps and absorb that precious sunlight.
The ecology of the extreme south was destroyed.
But nature is always full of tolerance.
Whether organic or inorganic, it will eventually become part of the world.
Hundreds of years later, the uppermost shell gradually weathered into sand, and then scattered layer by layer. They move with the wind until all the holes are filled. During this process, the vines growing in the crevices died one after another. Only in a large area of open space that was not pressed by the stickman, would plants survive. A large number of them resisted the erosion of wind and sand and changed the sand and gravel again. for soil.
Hundreds, even thousands of years of evolution.
Countless corpses on the upper layer piled up little by little into a desert. They isolated the corpses on the lower layer from the sea breeze, and piled up the original coastline by more than ten meters. The flow effect of the dunes keeps the pressure below constantly changing, and the stone monument glows, goes out, glows, and goes out. This extremely long alternation cannot guarantee the diversity of plants, but it allows some grasses with long growth cycles to survive. As for those vacant land, it became an oasis in Yinchuan and nurtured the people of Mojin.
In other words, the current Iron Sand City and Daqing Port are both built on weathered corpses...
This scene made Roland shudder.
He even hoped that he had guessed in the wrong direction.
If the battle of divine will really has no end, how many victims will there be in this world
Beneath the earth, in the depths of the ocean...
I am afraid that there is no realm that has not been soaked in blood.
