Chapter 545 Floating City Plan
"Tell me, what do you know?"
Returning to the underground studio of the bar, Enzo closed the iron door, cleared the messy workbench, sat on it, and looked down at Melissa.
Melissa said nothing and took a long drag on the pipe.
She blew out a smoke ring from her blood-red lips. Feeling the anesthesia brought by the tobacco gradually coming over her, she slowly spoke and said, "What do you want to know?"
"Where are you from?" Enzo got straight to the point.
"Star Island Floating City." Melissa answered directly without any nonsense.
"Is that the crashed floating city in the deep pit of the garbage dump?" Enzo looked directly at Melissa and asked in a deep voice.
"Sure enough, you have already seen the floating city."
Melissa's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look, and she said faintly, "But that's right. When the floating city was out of control, Nora never escaped, and the Red Bee mecha naturally stayed in the floating city."
"If you can control the red bee and return, you must have been to the floating city."
"The floating city crashed, how did you survive?" Enzo asked another question. Melissa is not a hunter and has no ability to control mechas. How could she escape from the floating island.
"It's an airship."
Melissa spoke softly and said, "There are thirty airships on the Star Island Floating City, which can take three thousand survivors away. My husband is a hunter and a mecha operator."
"Because of his relationship, I also got on the airship."
"Then how did you come underground?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
Since there is an airship on the floating island, the three thousand survivors can completely escape to another floating island. Why did Melissa come underground.
"Ha! It's not that easy."
Melissa shook her head and said faintly, "Airships are different from mechas. Apart from a few energy machine guns, they have almost no combat effectiveness. If you want to go to other floating cities, you must travel through a very far airspace."
"People in the Doomsday Era know that the wasteland is full of dangers."
"But few people know that the sky is equally scary. Those monsters living in the acid rain clouds will swarm up like greedy wolves once they find out that they are on the survivors' airship."
Melissa's body trembled slightly, as if she remembered some bad experiences. She took two puffs of her pipe before she calmed down and said, "Almost all the airships that came out of the Star Island Floating City were attacked by monsters. I The airship we were in was the most serious, and even the mecha warriors as guardians couldn't withstand the monster's attack."
"At the most dangerous time, those mecha warriors abandoned us."
"Among them, including my husband, they escaped alone in a mecha, leaving only us on the airship waiting to die."
A trace of paleness appeared on Melissa's face.
"Almost everyone was torn apart by the monsters and died horribly. I was lucky enough to pick up a pack of parachutes, and while the monsters were biting other people, I luckily jumped down and landed on the wasteland."
"You should know what happens next..."
Enzo's face was calm. Melissa was taken to the underground shelter five years ago. This also means that the Star Island floating city crashed five years ago. However, the crash of the floating city made such a big noise, garbage No one around the scene noticed.
"No, it's not that I didn't notice it."
Suddenly, Enzo's heart moved, and he recalled this body in his mind, a memory of a late night five years ago, when Enzo was still very young and hiding in a shelter with Wayne and others.
Late at night, there was a sudden loud noise outside.
The ground continued to tremble for a quarter of an hour. Afterwards, an earthquake occurred at the Xuancheng garbage dump, the boss of the shelter, and the matter was sealed.
"It seems that it was not an earthquake at all."
Enzo shook his head and said to himself: "It was the sound that happened when the floating island fell. However, the deepest part of the garbage dump was too dangerous, and no one who entered it could come back alive. Therefore, what happened to the floating city It became a secret.”
"Although I don't know how you found the floating city."
At this time, Melissa suddenly spoke and said faintly, "However, being able to withstand the radiation deep in the garbage dump requires at least the strength of a Silver-level hunter. It's really surprising that you are so young."
"Also, I'm curious, how do you control the Red Bee mecha?"
"As far as I know, although the Hunters can control mechas, they need at least five years of learning before they can conduct preliminary control. For something like the Red Bee mecha, it takes at least eight years, right?"
"Maybe I am a genius." Enzo said quietly.
When Melissa saw this, she didn't ask too much. After shaking her head, she began to smoke by herself, and the small room was suddenly filled with smoke.
"What are your plans next?"
After a while, Melissa spoke quietly and said, "With the Red Bee mecha, you can be considered a strong man even on the floating city. It is even easier to become the emperor of this garbage dump."
"Are you going to leave? Or stay?"
Melissa looked at Enzo playfully. The feeling of being an emperor in the wasteland may be more comfortable than the floating city, but it is definitely not as safe as the floating city. Clark is an obvious example. Once an accident occurs, he will die horribly. .
"neither."
Enzo shook his head and said calmly, "I plan to make the floating city deep in the garbage dump float again."
Melissa was stunned for a moment.
Then, she seemed to hear something ridiculous and couldn't help laughing. Smoke choked her throat, and tears flowed from her cough.
"...What a naive little guy."
After a while, Melissa shook her head and sneered: "The frog in the well really doesn't know how big the sky is. Do you think it is easy to make the floating city fly? And why did the floating city fall in the first place? You How much do you know?"
"Hmph! There are a total of 50,000 residents in Star Island Floating City."
"When we first discovered that the Floating City was gradually getting out of control, everyone tried their best to stabilize the Floating City. But even if the wisdom of fifty thousand people could not solve the problem, is it so easy in your eyes?"
"Not bad, is there any problem?" Enzo asked with a calm face.
"Huh? Then let me ask you a question." Melissa lazily leaned against the wall behind her, holding the pipe across her arm, and said softly: "What is the core energy needed to fly a floating city into the sky?" "
"Aurain's core." Enzo said.
"Oh?" A hint of surprise appeared on Melissa's face, then she shook her head and said, "It seems that this experience of entering the floating city has made you understand a lot of things. You even know about the core of Orain."
"However, since you know the core of Orain."
"Then it should be even more clear how important that thing is to the Floating City. It was the theft of the Orain core of the Star Island Floating City that caused the Floating City to eventually fall to the earth, causing that irreparable disaster."
A trace of sadness flashed in Melissa's eyes, and she sighed, "The core of Orain is the crystallization of the wisdom of doomsday scientists. Each one is precious to this world. The price you need to pay to create it is basically yours." Unimaginable.”
"If the core of Orain was really so easy to obtain, then the Star Island Floating City would not have crashed so easily..."
Melissa was talking when she saw Enzo suddenly turned around.
He rummaged through the cabinet behind him, and then, with both hands, he took out an oval golden crystal core the size of a human head. Shocking energy condensed inside the crystal core, as if it could destroy everything.
"Is it this?" Enzo asked softly.
The expression on Melissa's face froze, and her body couldn't help but tremble. The cigarette in her hand fell to the ground uncontrollably, her mouth opened slightly, her pupils shrank to the extreme, and she made a scream-like sound.
"Core of Orain!!!"
"Why is it in your hands? How did you get this thing?" Melissa asked questions one after another, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"It doesn't matter how I got the Core of Orain."
Enzo put away the Orain Core and said softly, "The important thing is, with this Orain Core, can the floating city fly into the sky?"
Melissa didn't seem to recover from the shock for a long time. It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that she tremblingly picked up the pipe and took two strong puffs, feeling the anesthesia brought by the tobacco. A trace of calm was restored.
"If it's just one Orain core, it's not enough."
Melissa shook her head and said with an incomprehensible expression: "If we had obtained this Orain core five years ago when the floating city was out of control, we might have been able to prevent the tragedy from happening, but now that the floating city has crashed, it's too late." ”
"I think you should know very well."
"Although the main body of the floating city is basically made of metal, anyone can understand the damage caused by falling from a height of three thousand meters. When the floating city crashed, many internal mechanical parts were bound to be damaged. , if they are not all repaired, even with the core of Orain, the floating city will not be able to take off."
"So...as long as the floating city is repaired and the core of Orain is added, it can be lifted into the sky again?" A trace of thoughtfulness appeared on Enzo's face.
After hearing Enzo's words, Melissa couldn't help rolling her eyes, covering her forehead helplessly, and said faintly: "Oh my God! Do you want to listen to what on earth you are talking about? Repairing the floating city, what are you talking about?" So easy."
Melissa shook her head and said, "Floating cities are bases built by human survivors to escape surface radiation. The design of each floating city requires at least three thousand scientists to spend their entire lives to achieve success."
"Do you know how much knowledge is needed to repair the crashed floating city?"
"In the wasteland, scientists and mechanics are even rarer than hunters. It is almost impossible to find enough manpower to repair the floating city."
As Melissa spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"However, it's not completely impossible."
"You who control the Red Bee mecha may be able to go to the Lighthouse Floating City. The scientists and mechanics there should have the ability to repair the floating city, but I don't know how much it will cost."
Melissa's expression changed as she thought about the possibilities.
However, Enzo shook his head and said, "No need. I can repair the floating city myself. There is no need to look for others."
The expression on Melissa's face became extremely wonderful. She had never seen such an arrogant person. Repairing a crashed floating city required a lot of wisdom, but this guy actually said that he could do it alone.
"Crazy!" Melissa cursed inwardly.
"Okay, you can leave."
Afterwards, Enzo issued an expulsion order and said, "Don't forget about the core of Orain. I think you don't want this sanctuary to be attacked by other floating cities."
"Of course." Melissa rolled her eyes and left.
The value of the Orain Core cannot be described in words. It contains terrifying energy, and the full power of the explosion is even comparable to three-ring witchcraft. Once the Orain Core in the shelter is known to the outside world, even the floating The big shots in the empty city would definitely be tempted to plunder.
"Next, maybe we can make a good plan."
After Melissa left, Enzo's eyes flickered slightly. Now that he had obtained the core of Orain and the crashed floating city, continuing to develop in the underground shelter obviously could no longer meet Enzo's needs.
To conquer the world as quickly as possible, Enzo must build a base.
A shelter can accommodate up to 1,000 people, but the floating city can accommodate 50,000 people. There is a huge gap between the two. If given the choice, Enzo would naturally choose the floating city.
As for things like what Melissa said, it's not a problem for Enzo.
Repairing the floating city requires a lot of knowledge. Maybe Enzo is not a scientist, but the wizard's wisdom cannot be underestimated. Even if he does not specialize in mechanics, the chip in his mind can be of greatest help.
"The only problem now is the lack of materials and mechanics."
Enzo stroked his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face. Using the power of the chip, he could quickly create blueprints for repairing the floating city, but the damaged materials that needed to be replaced and the mechanics who performed the actual operations were a problem.
Enzo couldn't have repaired Machina on his own.
No matter how fast he is, it will still take a long time, but if he can train some workers who master basic mechanics, he can shorten this time and allow the floating city to take off within half a year at the fastest.
"In this case, let's clear the garbage dump first!"
Subsequently, Enzo formulated a plan. He decided to destroy the shelter in the garbage dump first and bring all the nearby survivors under his rule.
There are a total of thirteen shelters around the dump.
In addition to underground shelter 72, there are twelve shelters. Enzo needs to accumulate enough capital to start the floating city liftoff plan. Before everything starts, he is ready to gather everyone's strength to attack the garbage dump. Conduct a sweep to find the mechanical parts needed to repair the floating city.
