Chapter 276: When you arrive at a new map, you must first deploy the base vehicle
The underworld, the ghost realm.
On this plain, which had been dead silent for who knows how many years, the noisy and piercing noise of construction echoed.
The engineering Ultron robot construction team is building a large-scale comprehensive base in full swing.
According to the design drawings, this base is huge in scale and is almost a replica of the Jinling Immortal Sect's base. All the factories and facilities in the Jinling Sect base will be copied exactly.
Currently, the Ultron robots are building mines, metallurgical plants, nano-unit manufacturing plants and robot manufacturing plants.
There was no lighting equipment installed at the construction site, but the robots worked in an orderly manner in the dark. Buildings were rising from the ground and equipment was installed one after another.
Wen Rui was also helpless. He originally wanted to follow the Rakshasa woman to the evil demon realm to conduct some investigation.
But knowing that she was a little princess on the run and had caused such a big mess in her hometown, he could only let it go for the time being.
If the Rakshasa woman was just an ordinary witch, with the strength of the two of them, there would be no risk in running around in a low-key manner.
But the situation was completely different when she was a little Rakshasa princess who escaped from her marriage and stole the clan’s treasure.
Both the Rakshasa and Asura tribes designated her as the most wanted criminal and went to the Fierce Demon Realm with her, which was equivalent to being enemies with the two most powerful demon tribes in the realm at the same time.
Wen Rui is made of iron, how many nails can he hammer?
Don't dare to act rashly before you are fully prepared.
During this period, Wen Rui first forced the Rakshasa woman to teach him how to use the palm-leaf fan, and then began to smuggle robots, supplies and equipment into the underground world like an ant moving house.
A treasure like the palm-leaf fan can be used at will by monkeys and pigs as long as they master the correct method of controlling it.
This is also one of the characteristics of the innate treasure created by heaven and earth. It does not need to recognize a master, and it has no spirit. Whoever is lucky enough to obtain it and figures out how to use it will naturally become the owner.
On the other hand, artificially refined acquired treasures have many restrictions on use, just like setting a personal password. If you don’t get the approval of the maker, you can’t use it even if you get it.
With the isolation of the Yin-Yang barrier, a spacecraft equipped with a curvature engine cannot reach the boundary through a jump even if it obtains the coordinates of the boundary.
Wen Rui could only keep fanning out tunnels between the two worlds and act as a porter himself.
This wilderness plain is extremely flat, endless, completely windless, dry and cold.
After preliminary exploration, Wen Rui discovered that the land was much more vast and empty than he had expected.
It is said that after passing the gates of hell, the souls of the dead can see the Yellow Springs Road and the Forgotten River, but that is only a small area near the underworld. Beyond the Yellow Springs Road and the Forgotten River, there is also endless wilderness.
Once the soul does not follow the road and mistakenly enters the wilderness, it will become completely lost in the silent darkness, just like the withered human figures wandering in the wilderness.
When enough robots were delivered, Wen Rui ordered Jarvis to command the robots to begin exploring the area.
After the detection, there were mixed results.
The good news is that the reserves of iron ore on earth are very rich. As a result, as long as a metallurgical plant is built, a steady supply of metal raw materials for manufacturing robots can be obtained.
What is worrying is that the wilderness where they are located has an extremely low organic matter content, and the soil is like lunar soil or Martian soil. Even bacteria and viruses do not exist in it. It is a real forbidden zone for life.
There are also moving "things" in the wilderness. They are withered and shriveled human figures. They seem to have no intelligence. They just move slowly and wander aimlessly.
Fortunately, these wandering creatures are not aggressive and will break into pieces at the first touch, dispersing into a cloud of dust, but they will soon gather into human form, get up and continue their trek. The advantage of building a sub-base here is that the raw materials for Ultron robots and nano units are very abundant, but the disadvantage is that farms and pastures cannot be opened on the land.
He originally planned to grow fodder and feed livestock directly on the land, which would save a lot of trouble.
But after many attempts, even if they built an indoor ecosystem covered by a huge glass cover, transported black soil rich in organic matter from the mortal world, or adopted hydroponic planting, they still could not grow crops.
Attempts to raise livestock also failed. Even cockroaches kept in the ground, even with the right temperature, sufficient water and food, would inexplicably die en masse after a period of time.
Wen Rui also tested the radiation indicators and confirmed that the radiation here was not high, but it was difficult for creatures in the mortal world to survive.
Science can no longer explain it, Wen Rui can only analyze it from a metaphysical perspective, using the knowledge he learned from the Jiejiao library.
He guessed that it was because the Yin energy in the earth was too heavy, and the plants and animals in the mortal world would constantly consume their Yang energy here, and would die immediately once the Yang energy was exhausted.
The earth realm is not an underground world. Wen Rui released a reconnaissance plane to explore and found that there was a dark cloud above the wasteland. No matter how high the reconnaissance plane climbed, it could not fly out of the dark cloud area.
This dark cloud also has the property of blocking signals. If the reconnaissance aircraft flies too high, it will lose contact and the exploration of the sky will have to be temporarily interrupted.
The reconnaissance plane flew in all directions, but even after flying thousands of miles away, it still did not leave the wasteland.
Because he was a stowaway, Wen Rui did not further expand the scope of investigation for fear of being discovered by the ghosts in the underworld.
With the base as the center, many hidden outposts have been set up in the area within a radius of thousands of miles.
In this way, once there is an abnormal situation within a radius of thousands of miles, such as ghosts patrolling here, Wen Rui will be able to know it first.
In order to open up a base on the land, Wen Rui was so busy that he had no time to take care of the Rakshasa woman. However, the Rakshasa woman seemed unusually well-behaved and followed him obediently, as if she had completely adapted to her status as a slave.
After following Wen Rui for several days and seeing him busy doing incomprehensible things, Luosha finally couldn't stand the loneliness and asked, "Master, what are your plans? If it is inconvenient for me to go to the evil demon realm because of my sensitive identity, let's go back to the mortal world. Why waste time in the underworld?"
Wen Rui was looking down at the base construction blueprints, and without raising his head, he said, "Don't call me master, it sounds strange to me."
"How should the maid call you?"
"Just like before, just call me brother, or just call me by my name."
"This, isn't appropriate..."
The Rakshasa woman looked very cautious: "Calling you 'Master' is also a warning to myself. I always remind myself not to forget the gap in strength."
"It is because I have stayed in the mortal world for too long and have forgotten the laws of survival of the demon race that I have developed delusions and committed reckless acts that defy the rules of dignity and inferiority."
"Then you can call me boss." Wen Rui said casually: "You are not a slave, but my employee."
"Boss? Employee?" The Rakshasa woman looked confused: "I have never heard of these two words. What do they mean exactly?"
Wen Rui was stunned by the question. He thought for a long time before answering, "It's almost the same as 'master' or 'slave', but more civilized. The difference is that I will pay you a symbolic salary, and you can use the salary I pay you to support yourself."
"It seems that the treatment of 'employees' is worse than that of slaves." The Rakshasa woman frowned and said, "After all, slaves just need to be obedient and be supported by their masters. They don't need to worry about how to support themselves with their salaries."
"Or, let me be your slave."
