Fairy's spacecraft started work right away . The first task was to tear down the thick white clouds in the sky . Huge industrial starships began to activate the gravitational field, and like planet-swallowing monsters, they descended on the clouds . Under the gravitational pull, the colloidal skin of the clouds bulged, then burst as white gases, and fibrous substances gushed out from the holes, enveloping the giant industrial ships .
There were more than a dozen erupting holes on the top of the clouds, like leaking balloons when looking from space . Before this, to protect the ecological environment of Inferno, this layer of clouds was pressurized . After the atmospheric pressure and planetary gravity normalized and came to an equilibrium, gas leakage would reduce .
The scene of the giant industrial ships descending into the atmosphere during a cloud storm was thrilling and spectacular, but as the spaceships tore open the cloud, Lily felt a sense of regret . "It's a pity! How beautiful the clouds are, like marshmallows . "
"These clouds are blocking the sun, and the planet will not be able to carry out normal energy exchange with the stars . " Hao Ren patted Lily on her head . "The old era is over; this protective film must go . Nolan, let the Fairy people do their work . We'll go down under . "
Nolan replied with an "okay" and then maneuvered the Petrachelys and descended through a gap in the cloud towards the planet's surface while the external monitor streamed back the visual of the scene outside . There was massive turbulence in the air and constant lightning in the clouds caused by the industrial ship's gravitational field . It was like flying in a world of lightning and thunder . Deep inside the clouds, shadows that were as huge as mountains were descending slowly; they were Fairy mining ships entering the atmosphere .
These giant ships would not land but hover in the upper atmosphere . Smaller mining ships and material transport planes would do the excavation more efficiently . Hao Ren received greetings from the nearby mining ships as his spacecraft passed through the upper atmosphere . A message from Vanske reads, "Under the contract, kindly sign this document . "
Hao Ren opened the file attached to the message and found that it was a set of documents encrypted by an encryption algorithm approved by the Xi Ling Empire and recognized in the macroworld and other celestials . These documents were intended to certify the ore collected by the mining fleet at a specific coordinate of the Scarred Nebula as possessing scientific and cultural values, originated from the wreckage of an ancient super creature in the otherworld with a long history, and could not be reproduced .
Hao Ren, as an inspector of the Space Administration, was to certify the certificate and the effect would be multiversal .
Hao Ren read the file carefully and confirmed with the MDT that signing on these documents would not violate the Imperial Law and there were no obvious, long-term loopholes and hidden risks . He then signed by affixing his inspector's encrypted ID key to the end of the file .
Now, the fossils on the surface of the planet Inferno became one of the precious minerals of this universe .
The Petrachelys had descended through the clouds, the desolate, hot, twisted, and hellish land filled with poisonous substances and violent monsters appeared on the monitor screen . Besides, there were hundreds of bright light beams, which were material-breaking rays that the Fairy mining ships shot down from high altitude into the ground below .
The earth melted like butter as the light beams hit the ground . Tens of thousands of tons of ore vaporized but more were lifted into the sky under by the anti-gravity field . The Petrachelys was the only object going against the gravity force as it descended it weaved through a freshly opened crack in the ground into the world below .
The Fairy miners delivered the goods . Although the upper crust of Inferno was disintegrating, Hao Ren had not seen single debris falling from above, except sunlight began to shine down to the world .
Nolan flew the Petrachelys towards Dorasil . From some distance away from the city, Hao Ren had already seen the new control facility, and it looked more spectacular than he had imagined .
The former city of Dorasil had mostly disappeared, and the new control facility was built on the original site of the ancient city . Hundreds of silver-gray needle towers as tall as a thousand meters stood erect with bright lightning and sparks jumping between the needle towers . Small maintenance robots were flying like a flight of insects around the needle towers . The group of needle towers occupied a bigger area than the original city did, but the remaining city ruins could still be seen between these needle towers, creating a rare sight of old and new architecture in one place .
Hao Ren had thought of keeping the Dorasil untouched because of its historical value, and it had a special meaning and cultural significance for the lost Sun Dynasty . However, after studying the structure of the First Born carefully, he could only build the new control facilities on the original site of Dorasil . The key nerves of the First Born were directly below Dorasil and completely solidified there . Forced relocation or extension of these nervous systems and building of the control center in other locations would not guarantee that it would achieve the desired result . At last, solid alloy towers had replaced Dorasil, and the ancient stone city became a modern city of mysterious technology .
Hao Ren retained the cultural heritage of the city as much as possible . For the past two months, he had asked Gezer and his people to relocate the lithographs, reliefs, totem columns, and the like in the city of Dorasil . When the new facility was built, the city was an empty place with nothing significant left . At least, he had done something to preserve the history of the Sun Dynasty .
Lily poked her head around looking at the lightning-discharging alloy-needle towers, which were based on the facilities beneath Dorasil, just that they were more sophisticated, more stable, and more reliable . Lily was in awe . "It's beautiful!"
Vivian thought of the ancient souls . "Is Gragon still in the city?"
"They are still there . " Hao Ren nodded . "We will see them when we get down there . "
The Petrachelys descended further and landed at a newly completed mooring operated by AI at the foot of the alloy-tower complex quietly .
AI was running the entire facility . The AI-run metal city had become a technological wonder on this planet .
Hao Ren led Vivian and Lily alighting from the spaceship . He then turned around, pressed the MDT in his hand, the Petrachelys emitted a double 'beep . ' Almost immediately, Nolan's figure appeared below the spacecraft and said, "I have wanted to tell you a long time ago! When can you change the sound of the car alarm?"
Hao Ren scratched his hair . "I have been using this sound effect, and it sounds okay . "
Nolan rolled her eyes . "Crap, you're not the one being locked . "
Hao Ren was speechless .
Almost as soon as the three of them stepped out the spacecraft onto the mooring platform, they saw someone waiting for themselves from not far away . Hao Ren squinted, it was Gezer and Bonia while the translucent figure behind them was Gragon .
After the new control facility went online, the ancient souls could finally free themselves from the 'lullaby' ceremony .
"My lord!" Gezer immediately bowed as soon as he saw Vivian while Bonia followed suit . "As per your will, this God-given city of wonders appeared out of thin air a dozen days ago . "
The indigenous people of this world had no idea what the self-multiplying module-building robots could do nor did they know anything about material conversion technology . It seemed to them that the way the alloy-needle towers were built out of nothing .
Vivian held up Gezer and Bonia, who were still wearing clothes made of coarse fabric, and it contrasted weirdly with the modern city around them . Hao Ren took out a snack he brought from Earth from his dimensional pocket and handed it to Bonia . "It's delicious . Oh, yes, let me teach you how to open the packaging," he said .
Vivian came up to Gragon . "Are the other ancient souls still here?"
"We all are waiting for your next instruction . " Gragon respectfully bowed his head .
"Gathered all their main leaders . "
