Chapter 698

When Ren returned to Glamorgan, the clone who had managed the territory on his behalf for the past two days immediately passed through the portal.

With him were two teams of Ultramarines.

When Ryan established the teleportation array in Jianwan Town, his substitute was already ready to move out the materials and various items used to build the cave from the warehouse. When the portal opened, the first time to move the things past.

In less than five minutes, the mountains of supplies in the teleportation hall were emptied.

After returning from the extreme battle, Ren immediately closed the portal, while his substitute stayed in Jianwan Town and started construction.

"Boss," an Ultramarines captain asked, "is there anything else we need to do?"

Ren's eyes swept over the Ultramarines, and the Primarch Symbiosis sensed their thoughts. These most loyal subordinates were full of curiosity about the clones. Obviously, they were not used to having two identical Primarchs. When only the double was around, there was no difference. However, there were two bosses standing together, which immediately confused him.

"You will get used to it in the future." Ren smiled. This is just the first one. In the future, he will have more substitutes, and he will appear in many places to do things for him at the same time.

"Let's continue to exercise."

"Yes, boss."

The Ultramarines dispersed separately, and Ren sensed the six Thundercast Sky Soldiers. They had come out of the Underdark to the surface not long ago and were heading towards Shield Island.

For Raistlin, it would take a whole day for the Stormcasters to teleport twice.

Then, the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers had to find a suitable location on Shield Island and set up two teleportation arrays, one connected to Jianwan Town and the other leading to the Obsidian Tower.

The teleportation array on Shield Island is also very important. Once selected, it will be the core area of ​​Gotham in the future.

Therefore, we must be cautious and not rush.

In the past two days, there was a substitute to handle official duties, so there was no backlog. Ren went directly into the mechanical alchemy room and took a look at the power in the soul pool. It had risen to more than 900 bars, enough to create seven clones. He emptied an alchemy table and used it as an operating table, focusing on performing the creation technique.

After a while, a clone came down from the alchemy table and went to the nearby warehouse naked to make weapons and equipment for himself.

Then came the second, third...

Two hours later, the seven newly born Stormcast Sky Soldiers armed themselves, wearing golden Thundercast armor, carrying lightning hammers, and hanging bolt guns on their waists, standing neatly like a solid human wall. In front of Ren.

Apart from that stand-in, there are fourteen Thunder Cast Heaven Soldiers!

Ren nodded in satisfaction.

Every Stormcaster possesses "activated metal" and "metal touch". With these tools, the production of bolters and bullets does not need to take up so much time, and can be completely relaxed.

"let's move."

He thought silently in his heart, Lei Zhutian's soldiers split up.

They opened any door to the teleportation hall, and under the shocked eyes of the Ultramarines guarding the hall, they stepped onto the teleportation array and disappeared.

Three go to Sword Coast to build a teleportation hub.

The remaining four are sent to Fort Vajra to produce bolters and caseless shells.

Ren himself was not idle, he took a break, stimulated the heart of the main brain again, and created a split brain. But this time, he didn't load the split brain into the clone, but observed it in the palm of his hand. The sub-brain is between energy and entity, and can be transformed into a single form, which cannot be changed again.

With a thought in his mind, the light ball-like split brain gradually solidified and gradually took shape according to his own vision.

Soon, the split brain turned from imaginary to real.

It turned into a silver-gray square sheet with a side length of about three centimeters and a thickness of only three millimeters, and it was almost weightless when pinched in the hand.

At first glance, this is a chip.

However, Ryan himself knew that this was completely different from the chip. It was a product of extraordinary power and had nothing to do with technology. But it can be called a chip if you insist, because it contains a copy of a mutated mobile phone. The multi-core chip that comes with the mobile phone has all the functions of a real chip.

He can still clearly sense the perception of the chip, and the telepathy has not disappeared.

The question now is, how to apply it?

Ren teleported to the mechanical alchemy room of Fort Vajra, and the four Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers were already working hard. When he came, he didn't even raise his head.

He took out a Titan engine, but found it impossible to do so.

Obviously, the chip cannot be directly mounted on it.

This requires a redesign of the Titan Engine's rune array, which fits perfectly with the chip, so as to control every bit of violent energy of the engine, and will not accumulate deviations and cause explosions during operation.

In addition, the chip needs to be injected with energy, otherwise it will dissipate within three days at most.

Whether the power generated by the Titan Engine can sustain the chip is also an open question.

Ren rubbed his eyebrows.

Next, he was going to soak in the alchemy room again, but he was full of confidence. The future self has pointed out the direction for himself through the prophecy of Master Medifer, and it has been confirmed that the chip will be available in the future, and all research and development problems will be resolved.

Knowing that the direction is correct in scientific research will definitely get the desired results, and this is the greatest help.

"let's start."

Rennes started the first test.

Not long after, a big explosion occurred in a desolate valley a few miles outside Fort King Kong. There was a bang, and the dazzling light and shock waves arrived at Fort King Kong one after another. A little surprised.

"The boss is back."

People muttered twice and continued their training.

In the mechanical alchemy room, Ren, who had just lost 30,000 gold shields, was beaming with joy. It was only the first test just now, and the running time of the Titan engine broke the record of the past few years, and it increased by more than 30 times in one breath, and it ran steadily for ten minutes!

In the end, the explosion was not because the energy was out of control, but because the split-brain chip was burned out.

Ryan quickly came to the conclusion that he only needed to make some improvements to the rune array, reduce the energy input, and then find a suitable material to make a protective shell for the split-brain chip, and it should be fine.

This progress is much faster than I expected!

Ren was full of enthusiasm, and took out a spare Titan engine to start research.

In the next few days, he hardly left the mechanical alchemy room, and all the administrative affairs of the territory were handed over to the substitute who returned from Jianwan Town. Ren put his big blood-colored cloak on the double, and used the cloak's breath-holding technique to cover his breath.

Naturally, the Breath Containment Technique cannot be concealed from experts above the legendary middle level, but for ordinary people, it is enough to distinguish the real one from the real one.

Fabian, the butler of the Wind Elf, didn't notice any abnormalities, and reported everything to the substitute in detail.

Ren felt very refreshed when he was freed from the tedious official duties.

He decided to hand over all these things to the substitute in the future, including the official duties of the Glamorgan Territory and the Principality of Augustus, and the substitute was more diligent, patrolling the territory every day, going back and forth between the Empire and the Principality, and constantly inspecting the seven cities of the Principality.

In just a few days, the stand-in did a lot of work.

Of course, when it was time to rest at night, when Viola came to the castle to spend the night, or when he was getting close to Emily's mother and child, Ryan still went into battle by himself.

Even if it's a substitute, this kind of thing can't take care of it for you.

Cuckold yourself, there is nothing more bizarre in the world than this.

Ren knew that the substitute would not be able to hide it for long, and those close to him would soon notice something was wrong, and he was going to find a suitable opportunity to tell them.

Halfway through the research on the Titan engine, the Thundercast Soldiers on Shield Island sent a thought message.

The teleportation array has been set up.

For such an important matter, Ren had to go there in person. He returned to Glamorgan and teleported to Sword Coast Town in the north of the New World.

In the huge ice cave hundreds of meters underground, earth-shaking changes have taken place. The ground is as flat as a mirror and spotless. The surroundings are no longer rough rocks and soil. The walls are built with large stone slabs, and the rune circles are painted and engraved on them to form a whole, covering up the breath in the ice cave, and at the same time, it has the function of heat preservation.

There are more than a dozen crystal lamps hanging on the dome, and the whole ice cave is as bright as day.

The teleportation array only occupies a small part of the ice cave. In order to make full use of the space, the Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers divided the ice cave into two halves. The half where the teleportation array is located only occupies one-fifth, and most of the remaining space is transformed into a mechanical alchemist. rooms, meditation rooms, and a common hall.

In Rennes' vision, this teleportation hub is not limited to teleportation.

It is also a fully functional base.

If there is a war with the Scourge and the Seal of the Dead Knot in the future, you can teleport to this base in the north of the New World and raid the Scourge's lair from behind. At that time, in addition to the legion under his command, there must be other people in the future, such as drow, dwarves, etc., who will be sent to the ice cave.

The secrets in the base must be protected and cannot be seen at a glance, so a separate space is necessary.

Ren walked to the edge of the teleportation array.

The astral crystal pillar suspended in the middle emits light, and energy flows in the runes and engraved lines. When the energy exceeds the critical point, the portal is opened.

After the portal stabilized, Ren walked in.

He appeared in a dark underground space, which is much smaller than the ice cave. I don’t know who dug out the basement. The layout is rectangular, thirty meters long, ten meters wide, and about three meters high. The ceiling is made of rock, obviously shaped by the "turn mud into stone" spell, and it is very strong.

The vast basement was very dull and dusty.

There were still a lot of messy debris, which had already decayed. The six Thundercast Celestial Soldiers cleared out and arranged the two teleportation arrays they brought.

One is connected to Cambridge Bay, and the other leads to Obsidian Tower.

At this time, another teleportation array was also activated to open the portal, and Raistlin wearing a black magic robe walked out of it.

Eight people in the basement.

Wren himself, Raistlin and six Stormcast Sky Soldiers. He looked around, and the eight people didn't say a word, their thinking was synchronized, and they were actually one person in essence!

"I'm going back first." Raistlin turned and returned to the portal, closing it casually.

Ren opened a random door and walked in.

The sky is gloomy outside, the sky is snowing goose feathers, and the earth is white. His mind jumped to the sky, and he looked into the distance, his eyes piercing through the snow curtain, ten miles to the west was the western end of Shield Island, separated from Abraken by the "Easter River".

East is named River, but it is actually an extremely narrow strait, with two ends transparent, the southern end is the mouth of three rivers, and the northern end merges into the narrow and long Shield Island Strait, which can lead directly to the Falling Star Ocean.

The basement where the teleportation array is located is located in the center of the west end of Shield Island.

Whether it is the East River in the west, the Channel in the north, or the coastline in the south, the three distances are approximately equal. At that time, the nobles of Modu and the wizards of Wezelan built Xinxiang City here, which is located a little north, and the basement is also in it, but it is located in the south of the city.

After Xinxiang City was destroyed by the Scourge, it became ruins.

The basement is hidden under the ruins, only a dozen meters deep. Naturally, it is far less concealed than the ice cave in Sword Bay Town, but its location is excellent, and it is the only high point on the flat land at the western end of Shield Island.

In the last era, the elves built several satellite cities around Abraken, the capital of magic, including Shield Island. The elves carved out this hillside and the surrounding area, and built a beautiful park reflecting the natural landscape, named "Highland Park", attracting countless tourists, and information about this park can still be found today.

Thousands of years have passed, and the traces of Highland Park have long since disappeared.

Lei Zhutianbing chose this place because he was considering the layout of Gotham in the future.

When Gotham City is built, Highland Park will become the city lord's mansion, and Raistlin will be the lord of Gotham, and a tall tower will be built on the highland, just like the Silver Star Tower of the Duke of Silver Star in Longshande, to monitor the entire city. Movement and stillness, it has the functions of detection, defense and killing.

Gotham City, centered on the tower, is naturally much larger than Xinxiang City, with an initial area of ​​more than three times.

Ren is going to give everything he has to build Gotham into a super city that has never been seen in the world of Arranus!

A journey of ten thousand miles begins with a single step.

The first thing to do now is to clean up the undead on Shield Island. There are quite a few in the ruins of Xinxiang City alone. Ren searched the sky for a while and found many traces of undead.

These undead are not worth their own shot.

Ren jumped back to the basement, teleported back to Fort Vajra three times, and continued his research.

On Shield Island, one Thundercast Heavenly Soldier teleported from Jianwan Town to the basement, increasing to seven people, two stayed to guard the teleportation formation, and the other five teleported out from the westernmost end of Shield Island to form a front line, step by step. advancing eastward.

Soon, the undead hidden underground were alarmed.

Boom boom boom...

Deafening gunshots rang out, mixed with lightning and thunder.

In King Kong Fort, Ren glanced at the soul pool, and the power began to rise slowly. Most of the undead on Shield Island are low-level and middle-level, and there are not many high-level ones. According to his estimation, there are only five or six legendary lords at most, and five Thundercast Celestial Soldiers are enough to deal with them.

However, the total area of ​​Shield Island is tens of thousands of square miles, and the terrain is long and narrow. It is estimated that it will take more than a month to clear it with only five Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers.

"We still have to create more clones."

Therefore, whenever the power reaches 120 grids, Ren will use the creation technique to consume it, and the number of Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers will increase one by one.

Half a month later, Ren stopped immersed in the research and walked out of the mechanical alchemy room.

X Battle School is complete!
