Chapter 440: 149. Is this an angel?! _5
Translator: 549690339
The Alchemy Cathedral lured all living alchemists involved with human subjects underground under the pretext of agreeing to transport living materials, separating them from living alchemist factions like the Life Essence Society that do not involve humans.
Then, with a single stroke, they cut off food, water, and supplies. The Alchemy Cathedral planned to completely trap and starve the evil living alchemists to death underground.
As for why they chose to trap the evil living alchemists deep in the Fissure Corridor rather than anywhere else, Noland Lee thought it was a matter of the size of the “bait.”
If the bait wasn’t big enough, the evil living alchemists wouldn’t naturally take the bait.
Only bait on the scale of the Universal Metal Powder Collection Device would make the living alchemists knowingly walk into a possible trap.
To this day, the underground living alchemists have displayed an astonishing vitality, or perhaps have received secret support from certain powers. In any case, they not only survived but also used the powder collection device as a bargaining chip in their confrontation with the Alchemy Cathedral.
Without external interference, the delicate balance between the two parties would continue indefinitely.
The above is Noland Lee’s analysis of the current situation.
Now he has only one idea in his mind.
And that is to kill all of the illegal alchemists in Black City.
These guys have killed countless ordinary people in cruel ways just to study living alchemy.
Eliminating these guys, Noland Lee had no psychological burden in his heart. Because they were already declared as wanted criminals by the Alchemy Cathedral, and each of them had a bounty on their heads.
Like the guy who bragged about his experiences with the Blackbone Hermit, Noland found his information in the materials he had at hand.
This was an evil alchemist who had killed at least 300 humans, with a bounty of 5 million Union Coins issued by the Alchemy Cathedral.
Not only him but also all the Black City alchemists who appeared in Blackbone Hermit’s recent memory, Noland also found their reward orders in the data.
Cleaning up the battlefield where he instantly killed Blackbone Hermit, wiping away all traces of spells, Noland transformed into a white skull and flew into the vertical shaft.
The deeper he went, the murkier the air became.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
There was a faint light shining in from the exit of the vertical shaft, not dazzling, very dim, and unable to illuminate the shaft.
After Noland flew a certain distance, a familiar mechanical noise came from the exit of the vertical shaft.
“Pssh~ Pssh~” The steam pipeline was spurting.
“Kerr-cherr-kerr-cherr-kerr-cherr…” The metal slide rods were making reciprocating motions.
The mechanical noise was very faint, as if coming from a faraway place.
As he approached the exit of the vertical shaft, the mechanical noise became clearer.
Noland barely discerned the direction of the noise, which was exactly the location of the machinery factory area in Blackbone Hermit’s memory fragments.
His current location at the exit of the vertical shaft is on the ceiling of the 60th floor underground. Right below the exit on the floor is a metal flat and railing, which is the docking station for the lifting platform, and next to it is the mechanical lever for controlling the lifting platform.
Noland hovered above the vertical shaft exit, hiding in the pitch-black well.
He cast a Mind Beacon towards the ground below.
Through several vision leaps, Noland saw the situation in the machinery factory area with “Mind View.”
In the memory of the Blackbone Hermit, the entire machinery factory area is divided into upper, middle, and lower sections.
The upper zone is from the 60th to the 65th floor underground. This area is mainly responsible for processing liquid materials. It is further subdivided into a culture fluid manufacturing factory, culture fluid diversion pipeline hub, sewerage purification factory, pure water storage area, etc.
After processing the liquid materials in the upper section, they can be transported to the middle section using gravity and liquid pipelines. The middle section occupies the southeast part of Sector 6 from the 66th to the 70th floor underground.
In the middle section, the two major types of liquid materials, culture fluid and pure water, will be filled into their corresponding containers. Culture fluid corresponds to the culture tank, and pure water corresponds to the water storage tank. The liquid filled containers will be moved, with the help of the lifting conveyor belt, to the lower section.
The entire lower section is used for cultivating aberrations.
The aberration eggs are placed in the culture tank and, once they mature, washed with pure water from the water storage tank. They are then moved to the constant-temperature hibernation chamber.
The aberrations will be injected with living alchemy-crafted alchemy potions and will constantly excrete during sleep.
Their excrement will be transported by conveyor belts to other areas of the lower section in turn, going through the washing room, sediment chamber, drying room, and powder separation room. In the end, the filth in the excrement will be cleaned, leaving only the universal metal powder separated from it. The sewage will be transported back to the upper section for purification.
The universal metal powder produced in the lower section is stored in Black City and sprayed to the ground on Spray Powder Day.
Based on the available information, the difficulty of raiding the machinery factory area this time is at least 10 times higher than the last time.
With numerous facilities, complicated corridors, tight pipelines, strong and numerous guards, and many rapid descent channels for them to quickly escape to Black City, it is difficult to imagine how much steam flow there must be inside the main steam pipelines…
To completely eliminate them all at once without letting a single person escape, Noland Lee needs to plan carefully.
“Ten main steam transport pipelines, each connected to ten steam boiler rooms. Just the drain valve in the steam main pipeline has a diameter of nearly one meter; it’s hard to imagine how much steam flow there must be inside the main pipeline…”
Noland hovered in the vertical shaft, carefully observing the pipeline facilities inside the machinery factory area:
