Corpse Country, Imperial City.
Central Ministry of Works.
It was like a giant steam machine factory. Its daily energy consumption accounted for more than 60% of the entire Corpse Country. It was the mechanical center of the Corpse Country and the origin of all advanced technology.
There were only two types of zombies who could work in the Central Ministry of Works.
First, after layers of screening, they were outstanding in knowledge and technology and were directly recognized by the imperial court. They were willing to accept the control of corpse voodoo.
Second, their brains were replaced by mechanical bodies. [Zombies] who did not have self-thought.
Dr. Swollen was valued on the dragon boat and directly sent to the imperial court.
In the imperial court's internal test, he showed his peerless talent in mechanical technology and was favored by the minister of the Ministry of Works. He was directly promoted to the Central Ministry of Works.
Within a hundred days, he had completely established himself here.
Today.
The doctor was suddenly summoned by the minister and went to the most sacred area of the Ministry of Works — the Divine Craft Hall.
"Huang Zecheng (the doctor's name in the Corpse Country), the report you submitted to me last time was very interesting. I have approved it.
However, I have sent someone to check several important materials in the market. They are all in a state of being hard to find.
I suggest you go to the 'barracks' at the bottom of the Corpse Country. You should be able to buy the materials you want there … As long as the cost is not too exaggerated, the Ministry of Works will fully fund it. "
"Thank you, minister."
"Now is a special time for the Corpse Country. If you can complete this work, it will be very beneficial to you and the entire Ministry of Works.
Go quickly. I heard that there will be a large auction in the trading area at the bottom of the barracks. Maybe you can get what you want in one go. "
"Okay."
Today.
Dr. Swollen was completely different from when he first came out of the floating island.
In the beginning, he obtained the 'Spinal Mechanical Column' and learned about the 'Mechanical Planting Technology'. He chose to explore the technological route of the Tomb World.
During the time he stayed in the Central Ministry of Works, the doctor had transformed more than 80% of his body. It was extremely rare in the entire Corpse Country.
In the basic form, he could no longer be connected to a [Zombie].
A black pill with a metallic luster had formed in his abdomen. In the terminology of the Ministry of Works, it was called 'Mechanical Ascension.'
…
The perspective changed.
Han Dong slept in the barracks guest house for a night.
He took Zhang Xiliang to the 'Gathering of Hundred Demons' on time to participate in the monthly large-scale auction.
Because the annual auction was still in preparation, this kind of monthly auction was currently the highest level of merchandise sales, gathering extremely rare treasures on the market.
The population of the Hundred Devils Pagoda also reached a peak today.
These extra guests were naturally here for the auction. Most of them were high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Once a treasure they liked appeared, they would spend a lot of money to get it.
After all, it was more difficult for an individual to obtain a treasure given by the imperial court.
As Han Dong stared at the zombies dressed in luxurious official robes hopping toward the auction venue, a trace of doubt arose in his heart. "Is three thousand barrels of heavy oil enough?"
On both sides of the entrance of the auction house, there were also special appraisers.
They would verify the assets of the entrants. At least one thousand barrels of heavy oil were required to qualify for entry.
Officials who have tens of thousands of yuan in their pockets or who are of the third rank and above can enjoy the treatment of the VIP room for free.
"Verification passed. Please take your seat according to the number on your waist tag. The auction will begin in 15 minutes."
"Alright."
Zhang Xiliang, who used to be a local ruffian, never thought that he would be able to enter such a high-end place. Throughout the whole process, his body was tense as he followed behind Han Dong like a puppet.
He even wanted to find an excuse to leave a few times. After all, he felt that there was no point for him to come here.
Unexpectedly, a hand gently landed on his shoulder.
"Don't be nervous. If there's something suitable for you in the auction, you can consider it."
"Don't … Mr. Han has given me enough things. The items on display here are extremely valuable. With my current status, I really can't afford it! I'm already very satisfied to be able to come to such an event. "
"It's just a small event."
For Han Dong, it was indeed a small event. If he casually brought up the scene of his meeting with the old king, it would be enough to crush this small auction.
…
The reason why the venue was set at the lowest level of the 'Gathering of Hundred Demons' was that this was a large natural cave. The circular structure of the dome was just right for large-scale gatherings.
The venue was divided into upper and lower levels.
The lower level was more densely packed with terraced seats that could accommodate a thousand people.
The upper level was ring-shaped and separated in the form of cubicles for VIPs.
In order to ensure fair trade, these cubicles on the upper level were all made of glass so that the VIPs sitting in the cubicles could be clearly observed.
…
Han Dong leisurely observed the venue, focusing on the cubicles on the upper level.
"So many VIPs. Judging from their clothes, they seem to belong to different departments or are representatives sent by different agencies to participate in the auction.
Once a treasure is presented, they will use the financial resources of the entire department.
It's uncomfortable … "
Just as Han Dong was about to turn his gaze back to the auction stage helplessly …
Click, click, click ~
As a crisp mechanical sound came from his head, his gaze moved up again … and a new VIP entered his sight.
Not only did he attract Han Dong's attention, more than 60% of the people in the venue were attracted to him.
This VIP had a unique body … to be precise, it should be called a [Mechanical Body]. Most of the zombies present had never seen a zombie with such a high mechanical body coverage.
1. The mechanical column evenly distributed on the exposed surface of the spine moved up and down, and steam escaped.
2. Due to movement problems caused by the curved spine, the individual had his legs completely removed and a "mechanical implant" connected to the spinal nerves at the end of the spine had grown a perfect "scorpion-shaped lower body".
Six mechanical insect legs supported the body, allowing it to move freely.
3. The left shoulder was equipped with a "heavy mechanical limb", which could be used with drills and large mechanical arms to handle heavy objects, or be equipped with large-caliber cannons and heavy hammers for combat.
The right shoulder and the back arm area were equipped with a total of 18 "small mechanical limbs", which were directly connected to the central nervous system and could cooperate with the main body to carry out some precision operations.
4. Even his face was embedded with an extremely complicated metal mask that symbolized the most intelligent craftsmanship of the Ministry of Works. The skull-like eye sockets corresponded to a green optic membrane that could perform ultra-fast scanning and dynamic capturing of the environment.
"Who is this? I have never seen a zombie with such a high mechanical body coverage. He really doesn't want to live! I'm afraid he has already achieved "Mechanical Ascension"? "
"Nonsense, this coverage is definitely a Mechanical Ascension, and it must be a core member of the Central Ministry of Works … It may even be related to [Divine Works]."
"This is troublesome. The Central Ministry of Works is bound to buy everything related to machinery and even things that can be used as an energy source."
There was a lot of discussion about this VIP who had just arrived at the auction.
Even Zhang Xiliang was dumbfounded. He had never seen such a sophisticated zombie.
Only Han Dong turned his gaze back to the auction stage after a glance and quietly waited for the auction to begin.
