Qi Yuan stood in front of the elevator shaft, feeling the strange energy waves coming from the depths of the elevator shaft. Suddenly, he had a strange feeling that the elevator shaft seemed to lead to another world.
"How deep is the elevator shaft?" Qi Yuan asked.
"I don't know," Ajiu answered.
Qi Yuan looked at Ajiu in astonishment. He was clearly surprised by this answer.
"This elevator shaft was originally part of the Mechanical Ruin," Ajiu explained. "It wasn't built by Slayer."
"Slayer once measured the depth of the elevator shaft, but in the end, he failed. In the depths of the elevator shaft, there is a very strange force field that can distort space. Even high-level powerhouses can't escape its influence."
"Once you step into that strange force field, you can't go back. Whether you go up or down, you will end up in the Mechanical Ruin, and the place you enter will be different every time."
"Those explorers who have already entered can use a special method to send out the information of their exploration every once in a while."
"In the description of the information that was sent, each of them went down a different distance along the elevator shaft."
"Some people said that you only need to go down three thousand meters to reach the Mechanical Ruin."
"Some people also said that you need to go down tens of thousands of meters to reach the Mechanical Ruin."
"Although I don't know who is right, I am sure that they are not lying."
Qi Yuan furrowed his brows.
Machines should be very sensitive to length and distance, but in their calculations, there was such a huge difference in the depth of the elevator shaft. This was very strange.
An elevator shaft was so strange that people couldn't even measure its depth. What kind of danger was hidden in the depths of the Mechanical Ruin?
What made Qi Yuan even more curious was, how did the Mechanical Ruin come about?
In order to obtain the Mechanical Ruin, the Mechanical Palace had even built a battle fortress here and sent a few mechanical armies to guard it. This proved that the Mechanical Palace valued the Mechanical Ruin.
After the arrival of the new era, the Mechanical Palace's research in the field of machinery was at the top of the pyramid. According to common sense, the Mechanical Palace was the absolute authority in the field of machinery. They shouldn't have coveted a buried Mechanical Ruin.
Unless there was something in the Mechanical Ruin that even the Mechanical Palace was interested in!
The old era's machinery technology was not as powerful as the new era's, and definitely not as powerful as the Mechanical Palace. With the old era's technology, there was no way they could create a trap that could threaten a high-level powerhouse.
Therefore, this Mechanical Ruin was not from the old era.
But if it was from the new era, then it didn't make sense.
Although the technology of the new era could threaten high-level powerhouses, there were only a few forces at the top of the pyramid that could master this technology. Among them, the Mech Royal Court was one of the best.
Judging from the Mech Dynasty's attitude, this Mech Ruin was not a product of the Mech Dynasty. However, other than the Mech Dynasty, Qi Yuan could not think of any other faction that could create such a Mech Ruin.
"Other than this mechanical ruin, has the Mechanical Palace found any other similar mechanical ruins?" Qi Yuan asked.
"Yes, but I am not sure how many of these mechanical ruins the Mechanical Palace has," A Jiu said with certainty.
"According to my records, there are similar mechanical ruins under battle forts no. 1, 2, and 5. As for the other battle forts, I don't know."
"What did the Mechanical Palace get from those Mechanical Ruins?" Qi Yuan asked.
Jiu thought for a while and said,
"It should be some technological data and research data. I remember that in order to store the data obtained from the mechanical ruins, the Supreme Overlord built a huge database that only he could access."
Qi Yuan's heart jumped. If it really was data and technology, then it was even more suspicious!
No technology was born in a short period of time, let alone a technology that even the Supreme Controller coveted. This meant that behind these mechanical ruins, there was a force more advanced than the Mech Royal Court. It might even be a mechanical civilization!
This was the only explanation for the strange dangers in the Mechanical Ruins that could kill high-level powerhouses.
The Mech Dynasty's research in the field of machinery and energy was far superior to the Doomsday Military Fire and the Gate of Truth. This was something that was hard to understand. If the Mech Dynasty had obtained the technology of an advanced machinery civilization, then everything would make sense.
Qi Yuan wasn't interested in the data in the Mechanical Ruins. He already had the Blazing Angel, and the data he analyzed from the Blazing Angel's' 'database had already proven its strength in the many battles he had with the Mechanical Palace.
Qi Yuan even suspected that the Blazing Angel was a life form of this mechanical civilization. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the data in the Blazing Angel's database.
The only thing Qi Yuan was interested in in the Mechanical Ruins that had cost the Mechanical Palace so much was the rank 5 Check-In Beams.
Although he couldn't sense how many rank 5 Check-In Beams there were, other than those underground, Qi Yuan didn't sense any other Check-In Beams. This meant that if he could complete all the Check-In Beams, he might even step into rank 6 directly.
Qi Yuan stared at the elevator shaft for a while before jumping down and disappearing into the dark depths of the elevator shaft.
Not long after jumping down, Qi Yuan sensed the existence of a strange force field. Even the Spirit Fortress lost its function under the suppression of this force field. Even his basic perception of space seemed to be misplaced.
Soon, Qi Yuan discovered that it wasn't just space. Even time seemed to be in an abnormal state.
Under the weightless fall, the surroundings seemed to have turned into nothingness. After an unknown amount of time, when a red glimmer cut through the darkness, the Spirit Fortress finally regained its perception of its surroundings. At this time, Qi Yuan was surprised to discover that he had already broken free from the weightless fall. He could feel a solid ground beneath his feet.
Had he already landed?
Could it be that he had already entered the Mechanical Ruins?
Qi Yuan opened the Spirit Fortress and tried to check the situation around him. However, when he saw the situation clearly, his body stiffened.
Not far from him, there were a few broken mechanical wreckages. Although they were just wreckages, Qi Yuan could still tell from the damaged markings on them that they were the soldiers of the Mechanical Palace. Furthermore, they were Tier 6 elite soldiers.
There were a total of four wreckages nearby. Each of the wreckages still had traces of energy lingering on them. The traces of battle and explosion had yet to fade completely. Obviously, these mechanical bodies had not been killed for long.
Not too long ago, there had been a battle here, and the 4 Type 6 Mechs of the Mech Clan had been wiped out by the enemy.
