Steel steam and flame

The city wall is made of several layers of composite materials, with steel and special cement accounting for most of the inside. There are also huge green square stones, which are pasted on the city wall as a layer alone. The special material is a certain kind of rock. I don’t know if it’s because of the care, but for a long time, I couldn’t even find a trace of the tenacious moss on this green stone.

"It seems like it took several years to build this city wall." Atohuan explained in the car. "It took all the efforts of the Webley family and all the hired personnel to build this large-scale project. So you can imagine its It's strong enough. All major families have this kind of thing, but the form and craftsmanship of the construction are generally different. It's hollow inside and filled with huge cannons from battleships. It's powerful enough to match the entire firepower output of any small country. .”

"After all, it is an arms giant company. In addition to no shortage of money, there is never a shortage of various weapons and ammunition. The Webley family's headquarters itself is a huge gunpowder depot. In addition to some senior executives inside, their major warehouses No one knows how many extremely lethal things are stored inside."

"Each giant company has characteristics related to their business. It may be a special development, taking a path to the extreme." Atuohuan acted like a commentator, "There is also the kind of blue stone The blocks have a special texture and can absorb impact force. It is said that they are mined from extreme areas and then transported back to the empire in batches via airships for use in the construction of various high-strength buildings."

He was escorted by several armored vehicles and soon arrived at a huge parking lot. Cassia and the others were not allowed to get off the car and could only wait on top of the car.

"It wasn't so strict before, but it has become like this recently." Atohuan was already used to it, and reminded Cassia and the others, "Eldest sister Lin will be here soon, and then we will open the main steam valve to the best possible way. Just rush back to the military school as quickly as possible. The chance of Dellin taking action is not very high. Otherwise, her nature in the Webley family will become the same as that of the eldest sister Lin. Although she has the same father, when she has the When it comes to quantity, the tolerance for making mistakes also comes in order.”

Cassia and Selmer nodded, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that such a thing was indeed the case. Because tolerance and protection of Ye Jielin, on the other hand, are also a warning to others. If some powers are used too much, their majesty and convincing power will gradually decrease.

"Patriarch, people are already waiting in the parking lot. Do you need to go over and take a look?" Secretary-General Gabrieli was sorting documents and asked as he looked at the people standing by the window of the high-rise building.

He is tall and thin, his hair is half white, and he still has a little vitality left in his body. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the surging buildings outside through a huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, wondering what he was thinking.

The gray and white scenery fell into the eyes of this old man who had entered his twilight years. There was not much brightness. It was just the beginning of the day, around eight o'clock in the morning. But light is no longer necessary for surgeons like him.

"No, you can see the parking lot from here." The old man answered slowly, as if his own world line had been extended for a while, "Personal contact will not do us any good. The elders are leaning towards the Holy Emperor. Hall, rushing over now will only shorten the time I can stay here."

With a smile on his face, Gabriel placed a stack of documents neatly on the desktop and put them into the file bag.

"Besides, we don't know if there is any actual connection between him and that crazy girl. Don't try anything by chance." The old man spoke to the glass in front of him, almost to himself, "With Ye Jielin, we can keep it together." Depending on the relationship, we will still have enough room for maneuver in the future. What everyone lacks now is time. It’s too short, too short.”

With an exclamation of fatigue, Gabrielle had already placed the documents piled up yesterday on the side of the table again, waiting for the Webley patriarch next to her to check them.

"It's indeed too short." Probably after finishing the initial preparations for the day, Gabriel replied with a smile, "In just less than sixty years, the span has set a new record for the empire. According to Avalon's speculation , this time will be faster in the future. But it is still unknown whether the empire will survive in the future!"

"No one knows. The environment of the Houxiang Continent is destined that the silence above will not last forever. The results are the same on the Left and Right Continents. The other two super-large countries also came through this step by step. . It’s okay in normal times, but with unstable factors like Red Star around, no one can benefit.”

The old man turned around at this time, walked to the table, sat down, picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and asked Gabriel: "Which red star is this? I think whether it is the seminary or Avalon, they should observe it clearly That’s it. It’s been almost a year.”

"The Third Red Star. The results that came out just yesterday, I should have handed them to you in the form of a document." Gabriel replied, "It is good news and bad news. The Third Red Star has appeared several times in history. There has been a chance since before the empire was established. The impact will be much smaller than that of the other red stars. But there are additional reports from Avalon."

"Here." Gabriel pulled out a document from the file shelf and handed it over.

"The appearance cycle of the red star is a normal fluctuation number between ninety and one hundred and thirty years. This time it is less than sixty years since the last war, and there is a lot that can be studied and explored. Ava Long's side is still working hard to observe and calculate the final result." Gabriel explained in a gentle voice, "There is a worst-case result. Patriarch, you also know that so far, we have observed a total of five red stars. They are all different and have different impacts on the natural environment. It is speculated in Avalon that there may be a sixth red star. The third red star will arrive at a staggered time. In fact, it is because of the attraction of the sixth red star that it is thrown away in advance. 'Just come over here."

"It's really interesting." The old man looked interested, "It's just that what happens next has little to do with me."

Gabrielle nodded in understanding. Just as she was about to walk out of the room, a voice chased her from behind.

"By the way, you can mobilize more help to Ye Jielin in the future. As for how many people it will be, you know it. The elders are doing the same thing. People who have been trained in the extreme area have a similar status. They have all been promoted to one level. As a businessman, I will not accept unfair transactions."

"I know." Gabriel replied, closing the door.

Shortly after Gabriel left, the patriarch stood up from his chair after reading a document, came to the window again, and looked towards the parking lot.

"The Sixth Red Star." He stretched out his voice, like the end of a song, "Those geographers and historians who are digging around have their work cut out for them. Of course, the most troublesome ones are the theologians in the Holy Emperor's Hall. They." Finally, he laughed uncontrollably, probably because he was thinking of something happy.
