After the beep, Lieutenant Gou Ye issued an order through the broadcast, "Everyone, pay attention. You are about to enter an area of abnormal rules. Don your armor and execute a type of formation. Unarmored personnel are forbidden from being exposed to all non-enclosed areas. "
The broadcast was still ongoing. A flat, box-shaped mechanical construct rose from the lower part of the work station, which was gradually deformed and reset. It slid to the side of Luo Nan's feet, who was still held in place by the magnetic belt.
A slight ringing sound rang out behind Luo Nan's ear, echoing with the toy from a distance. This was proof of his status and authority.
The mechanical construct suddenly deformed. The main material was clearly cold metal, but under the disassembly and assembly of complex and precise parts, it was like a sticky living thing that clung to Luo Nan's leg. It quickly spread to his waist and abdomen.
The magnetic belt automatically unraveled, giving space to this mechanical construct. In another breath of time, this exoskeleton armor covered Luo Nan's entire body. It connected with his external Vertical Collar Dynamo Core.
His breathing automatically entered the life support module and coordinated with the external energy furnace. Every time Luo Nan breathed, the armor seemed to expand and contract. It was as if the several dozen kilograms of metal had the same pulse.
"Technician's armor is a classic 7th edition. The attack and defense modules exist for the sake of maintaining its functionality. It's a typical example of a partner being happier than the user. "
Xian Zhu gave a timely explanation from the side. As for Luo Nan, there were no changes at all.
"Don't doubt it. The so-called unarmored personnel is talking about me and himself."
Xian Zhu pointed at the 'operation' that was still ongoing on his back. Needless to say, there was still the infected Endogenous Dynamo Core that was bound to his nervous system.
Under these circumstances, it might be safer for him to be an unarmored personnel.
The work station space had already been restored as they spoke. The slight tilt didn't affect Luo Nan at all. Luo Nan naturally stood up. The all-encompassing metal visor automatically enhanced with Panoramic Simulation. It transformed the light signals of the outside world into a form that people were accustomed to seeing.
But it also marked a deeper level of analytical data.
Therefore, Luo Nan saw and measured the size of the crack that was rapidly approaching before his eyes. In the end, Luo Nan was able to see it.
The infrastructure module labeled Gen-077 was created through a microscopic biological community similar to polyps.
It was fed with energy on a large scale. It rapidly multiplied, guided, died, metallized, and shaped. Its vertical height was more than 140 meters, and it was deeply embedded in the rock layer. Its width was more than 200 meters, and its thickness was a jaw-dropping 1.4 kilometers.
In other words, this was an artificially "bred" mountain.
Since it had been 'fed' since it was young, it was possible to design it before it was constructed. During the construction, special guidance technology could be used to set up spaces and channels inside the 'mountain'.
Of course, what was more important was the required structure and energy pathways.
The structure of the relay station's space-time fortress was closely related to these infrastructure modules, and they complemented each other.
Just looking at such a colossus was enough to make one feel dejected.
But now, an astonishing fissure was torn from the bottom all the way to the top, and it was from the outside to the inside. It pierced through the obstruction of light, allowing this terrifying scar to appear before Luo Nan's eyes.
The Soil Patrol was a medium-sized maintenance platform. Even though it had shrunk after its transformation, it could still fit dozens of people. It was at least the size of a minibus. However, if such a platform were to be filled, it would barely be able to fill the crack at the bottom.
Luo Nan immediately understood the meaning behind Xian Zhu's words. Such an enormous project was absolutely not something that could be solved by a dozen or so maintenance soldiers.
But here came the question: How did the fissure happen?
Even though Xian Zhu had warned him beforehand, Luo Nan couldn't help but think about it.
The new space-time fortress design was his work in the logic of the Innerverse Simulator. Luo Nan's previous self-righteous design had already brought about a major and negative influence to the relay station. Now, even the most basic defensive function had a problem?
Before Luo Nan could finish his thought, the Soil Patrol had already recovered to its working state. After a limited deceleration, it charged into the depths of the fissure.
The number of photons passing through the isolation shield instantly decreased by several magnitudes, but it was still enough for illumination. As for the most eye-catching part, it came from the long trail of fiery light in front of Luo Nan's eyes.
But at the same time, the two sides of the fissure flickered with specks of light. Some of them looked more like the cross-section of an electrical circuit. Luo Nan could even see lightning piercing through the air to connect to the two sides of the fissure. It was like a lotus root was broken and the thread was still connected.
“
The Soil Patrol pierced through these leaping bolts of lightning. Luo Nan narrowed his eyes behind his visor as he looked at these things.
If he wasn't mistaken, these were all energy nodes embedded in the configuration. Even though a considerable portion of them had already been destroyed, the ones that still existed were still attempting to reassemble and restore their preset functional structure.
"So direct and efficient …."
"Forcefully cleaved open?
Luo Nan and Xian Zhu's words rang out at practically the same time. However, Xian Zhu didn't have his visor to cover his words. His tone was even clearer:
"This is the work of a Senior Lord. With another attack like this, all of us will turn to dust."
Cleave open? This level of offensive power …. You must be joking! Oh?
Luo Nan couldn't help but glance back. Who was the one who said not to use their brains just now?
Liang Lu sent a message in the temporary team's internal channel at this time. He wasn't very confident, but he still expressed his own opinion: "The line of fire ahead, and this sort of laceration …. Is it the Hellfire Tyrant?"
Fine. Another person who used their brains.
Luo Nan used the AI to inquire about the Hellfire Tyrant's information.
But then, a set of coordinates was sent out in the temporary channel. Soon, it combined with the overall scene of the animation demonstration to mark out the directly visible area.
The animation demonstration had already made it clear that the crack extended all the way to the outside of the relay station base. It formed a perfectly straight canyon tunnel that was one thousand four hundred meters long.
The area in front of the tunnel bore the heaviest force, approximately four hundred meters. It was completely covered in flames, and it was precisely where Luo Nan and the others saw the Fiery Streak of Sky.
The newly set coordinates were behind the flames, approximately three hundred meters away from the mouth of the crack.
"Set up a temporary blocking position at the coordinates."
The specific standard requirements for the position came after the brief order.
Luo Nangang swept his eyes over. The distance between the Earth City Patroller and the Fiery Streak of Sky was practically non-existent. Only at this distance did he discover that the flames on the other side were still endlessly extending forward ….
"Buzz!"
The Soil Patrol truly began to brake, but the kinetic energy of its forward charge still drove it to break through the barrier of flames ahead. The Soil Patrol's head fell down towards the bottom region of the crack.
