After that, Estelle and Joshua dismantled the chimney in the central workshop. Then, the intelligence department arrived and Fangzheng and the others finally understood the ins and outs of the matter.
It was obvious that a group of people had set up chimneys on every floor of the central workshop when no one was paying attention. They created the illusion of a fire and forced everyone to evacuate. Then, in the panic of the crowd, they kidnapped and took Dr. Russell away, disguised as the Royal Guards, and swaggered out of the main entrance. They really knew how to have fun.
"Our intelligence department will definitely investigate this matter to the end."
Captain Kenona, who was dressed in a black uniform, made a solemn vow in front of Master Madoc. Meanwhile, Fangzheng watched coldly from the side without saying a word.
Only when the woman left with her subordinates did the crowd start to discuss again.
"What do we do now?"
Estelle asked doubtfully while Joshua frowned.
"Since the intelligence department said that they have sealed off the Chase area, then those people must still be here. After we report to the association, we will search outside."
"There's no need for that."
But this time, Fangzheng suddenly interrupted Joshua and looked at Master Madoc.
"Master, I want to go to D-1 and activate the Skynet system."
"Skynet system?"
Everyone was confused. Even the Madoc Forgemaster was taken aback.
"Of course, no problem. Follow me."
Then, Master Madoc led everyone to the elevator behind his office. He swiped his ID card and the elevator door opened. Fangzheng, Estelle, Joshua, and Tida entered the elevator together with Master Madoc and arrived at a secret room on the lower floor.
"This is?!"
As soon as they entered the room, they were shocked to see everything in front of them. In this room, there were large computer screens hanging on the walls, showing the scene of the central workshop and the surrounding areas.
"This is the latest security monitoring system, Skynet."
Workshop Master Madoc explained to everyone.
"It's jointly developed by Starlight Technology and the Central Workshop. Its main purpose is to monitor the situation inside and around the workshop. With this, we'll be able to find out where they took the doctor. "
"There's such a good thing?"
Hearing this, the others were shocked, including Tida.
"Why haven't I heard of it before?"
"This is top secret. Only Forger Madoc and I know about it."
Fangzheng explained to them, while Estelle looked at Fangzheng in confusion.
"Since that's the case, why didn't you tell the First Lieutenant from the intelligence department when he came?"
"Humph."
Fangzheng snorted coldly in response to Estelle's question.
"If the people from the intelligence department can be trusted, pigs can climb trees."
As he spoke, Fangzheng sat in front of the control terminal, then picked up the ID card and swiped it. The next moment, the video on the surrounding screens began to change.
"What was the exact time of the incident?"
"An hour and a half ago."
After listening to Master Madoc's words, Fangzheng typed a few times on the keyboard. Soon, a new picture appeared on the wall-sized screen in front of everyone. In the picture, Towa was standing in front of the elevator. After a while, Dr. Russell appeared with Estelle and Joshua.
"Ah, that's when Dr. Russell asked Miss Towa to take us to the headquarters of Starlight Technology!"
Seeing this, Estelle hurriedly stretched out her hand to point at the screen and shouted. She then stared at the screen in front of her with a strange expression.
"Ugh … I don't know what to say. I feel weird in there …."
Soon after, Towa took the two of them to the elevator and left. Dr. Russell returned to the research room with a dark conductor and placed it on the workbench.
"This is the conductor that we asked Dr. Russell to investigate."
Joshua chimed in.
"It has the ability to stop other conductive equipment, so Dr. Russell specially modified it. He used the internal combustion unit that didn't rely on the conductive device a long time ago to drive the workbench. He planned to investigate this conductive device."
"Joshua and I are dead tired."
Perhaps it was because she recalled what happened yesterday, she sighed helplessly.
But just as Dr. Russell was about to make a move, a thick smoke suddenly appeared, followed by shouts and screams. But Dr. Russell did not seem to move at all. He did not care about the chaos at all.
"That's what's wrong with Grandpa."
Seeing this, Tita broke out in cold sweat.
"Once he's immersed in his research, it'll be difficult to pull him out again."
Then, a few men in black appeared on the screen. Before Dr. Russell could react, they knocked him out and put him in a box. Another man even took away the black conductor that was placed on the workbench. Then, they avoided the chaotic crowd, changed into the uniforms of the Royal Guards, and took the elevator from the other side to the first floor.
The crowd saw Towa say a few words to them. Towa seemed to sense something, but she was knocked out by the soldiers behind her.
"Hmph."
Fangzheng raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly without saying anything.
Then, the men carried the box and left the Chase Central Workshop. They avoided the eyes and ears of the crowd and went straight out of the city …
"Huh? Wait, can we see the scenery outside the city? "
Estelle was surprised to see the traces of the men in black on the screen. Fangzheng sneered.
"Of course. After the Skynet system was set up, we installed the latest photosensitive equipment on all the public conductive lamps in the Chase area. We'd like to see where these guys can run to!"
However, it didn't take long for the men to enter the Red Lotus Tower, and then …
"Why aren't you following them in?"
"We haven't installed any photosensitive equipment in the Red Lotus Tower yet … Hmm, that's an oversight, but it doesn't matter."
As he spoke, Fangzheng tapped on the keyboard again. Soon, a few dots appeared on another screen.
"What's this?"
"It's a life-sensing device. It can sense the signs of life in the surroundings and track them."
Then, everyone watched as the red dots representing life remained motionless on the Red Lotus Pagoda. After a while, other red dots of life suddenly appeared from the other side and came into contact with the red dots on this side. Then, both sides left at the same time.
"What's going on?"
"This isn't the normal speed of human movement. It's either a conductive car or an airship … Hmm, check the data and find the conductive energy response! Good! "
The corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly as he looked at the data on the screen.
"Lock on to the conductive energy response. Begin a full search!"
As he spoke, Fangzheng took down the keyboard again. Soon, lines of information appeared on the screens around him. The information flowed down like a waterfall. The others were dumbfounded by the scene in front of them. They were completely speechless.
"Beep!"
Finally, a line of information appeared on the screen in front of Fangzheng with a soft beep.
"DX area?"
Fangzheng frowned as he looked at the serial number. He tapped on the keyboard again to retrieve the data. A strange scene appeared in front of them. What appeared on the screen was a steel fortress. In the upper right corner of the screen, an airship could be seen flying through the air and landing in the fortress.
Seeing this, Workshop Master Madoc showed a surprised expression.
"That's … Reston Fortress?"
"Confirming that the conductive energy data is the same. That thing landed in the fortress. Dr. Russell is also inside."
Fangzheng fast-forwarded the image again and stood up.
"Okay, let's go!"
"To where?"
"To Reston Fortress to get him!"
"Wait a minute, Mr. Fangzheng. That's the royal army's headquarters!"
"Who cares what department they are. How dare they kidnap someone under my nose? That in itself is a provocation. Also, Workshop Master Madoc, I hope you can temporarily close the Central Workshop."
"Huh?"
"Given Dr. Russell's relationship with the kingdom, do you think it's normal for them to kidnap him like this?"
"…"
Hearing this, Workshop Master Madoc was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood. That's right. Dr. Russell was the pioneer of conductive energy technology in the Kingdom of Libel. Logically speaking, with his identity and status, even Her Majesty the Queen had to be polite to him. If the royal army needed Dr. Russell's help, they could totally ask him for help. There was no need to make it seem like a kidnapping and be so sneaky.
"You mean there's a problem in the kingdom?"
"And it's probably not a small problem."
Fangzheng obviously also noticed that something was wrong. At this moment, everyone had returned to the first floor of the workshop.
"I understand. I will immediately inquire about the situation. I will tell them that the Central Workshop is temporarily closed for maintenance due to the attack."
Workshop Master Madoc wasn't a fool. He understood the problem immediately and nodded hurriedly. Fangzheng also walked out of the Central Workshop. Seeing his appearance, the other girls waiting in front of Fangzheng's car also hurried over.
"Big Brother!"
"Mr. Fangzheng, are you okay?"
"There's some progress."
Fangzheng nodded to Ling, Teo, and Towa, then looked at Towa.
"Are you okay, Towa?"
"Ah, yes, everything is fine. There's no big problem."
"Very good."
Hearing Towa's answer, Fangzheng smiled slightly, then he looked at Ling.
"Ling, I want you to immediately take everyone back to Starlight Technology and close the business. Tell them that our internal system is going to be comprehensively upgraded. At the same time, ask Hilmeilia to contact Phyllis and ask her if there are any special circumstances in the Royal Capital recently. "
"What about you, Big Brother?"
"I have something to do, so I need to go out."
"Huh? I want to go too! "
"Be good, this is not a joke."
Looking at Ling who was about to follow him into the car, Fangzheng also reached out his hand and knocked her head.
"In addition, I want you to go back not only to pass the message. Prepare to start the Blizzard and be on standby."
"Should I start the Blizzard?"
Hearing until here, Ling's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Understood, Big Brother, leave it to me!"
