Chapter 602: Chapter 211: Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Conch, Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch!
New Province.
Firewood Shelter City.
A-1, code name ’Primitive’ Firewood Track Mountain.
As the foremost of the thirteen Firewood Track Mountains in Shelter City, in terms of height, even the tallest Satellite City building in Shelter City is merely a low adornment at the foot of this Firewood Track Mountain.
Peering over the layered A1 Satellite City dome, the grandeur of the Primitive Firewood Track Mountain emerges vividly into view.
Its height has long surpassed human understanding of artificial mountains, reaching an astounding 6,245 meters, almost comparable to the Divine Mountains of the old era.
Even when compared among natural mountain ranges, this man-made Primitive Firewood Track Mountain is still considered a colossal entity.
No one can explain clearly how this gigantic mountain was constructed; all one can see is its enormous alloy body.
Its surface bears not a wrinkle typical of natural rock; every inch is smooth as a mirror, yet under the light emits a stern and substantive metallic sheen, exuding the majesty of an unnatural creation.
If the scientific personnel from Happiness City were to step foot here, they would surely lose composure on the spot.
It’s known that in Happiness City, the research center uses its produced Happiness Alloy very frugally and sparingly, yet here, this precious alloy is merely the "garment" of Primitive Firewood Track Mountain.
A 30-centimeter-thick coating of Happiness Alloy tightly wraps every corner of the mountain, and no one dares to calculate the terrifying total weight of this garment.
Whenever moonlight pours down, the glow striking the alloy coating does not reflect ordinarily, instead it seems to crash into a flowing silver-blue ocean.
The moonlight shatters and rearranges on the coating’s surface, eventually transforming into a myriad of faint but brilliant starlike sparks, even the buildings of the distant Satellite City are bathed in the same soft silver-blue hue, enveloping the entire region in dreamy radiance.
Occasionally, cloud layers sweep over the mountain’s peak, and are tinted a faint blue-purple by the coating’s refracted light, as if cloaking this steel giant with a layer of wispy and light fabric, adding a touch of gentle ambiance.
Looking up along the mountain body, its intricate structure can be noticed, with platforms extending outward every fifty meters, numbering over a hundred layers, resembling a titan’s outstretched arms, securely holding space.
The edge of each platform is shrouded in a semi-transparent light blue energy barrier.
Silver-gray tracks, like the spine of a dragon, coil around the mountain body, stretching from the base to the peak, as if adorning this majestic Firewood Track Mountain with a dazzling belt.
But the most astonishing part is the summit of the Primitive Firewood Track Mountain.
A gigantic circular platform with a diameter of four kilometers floats at the highest point, seemingly merging with the sky.
Above the platform, a massive bowl-shaped purple barrier inverts down, strictly isolating everything outside, exuding a sense of mystery and an undeniable strength.
Only a handful of people know of the platform’s existence, and even its name remains a secret.
It’s the highest scientific holy land of Firewood Shelter City, and serves as the transit station for processing information from the entire Wasteland.
Fire Platform.
Anyone who can enter here is either extremely prestigious Shelter City Lord at the pinnacle.
Or possesses unparalleled intelligence, recognized as geniuses or exceptional talents wherever they go.
At this moment.
Inside the central information distribution station shaped like a spire at the Fire Platform.
The staff on duty suddenly looks up as a new piece of information appears on the screen.
[Happiness City (Firewood Foundation Stone)]
[Sent Time: 04.06]
[Requesting level-four information collaboration, related collaboration fees have been paid]
[Immediately connect all subordinate Fire Nexus Cities, Fire Cluster Cooperative Cities to query the related origin information of this item]
[Related reward: 120 Firewood Points]
...
"Level-four collaboration?"
The staff abruptly pauses, fingers swiftly tapping on the keyboard.
Streams of information begin rapidly distributing from the Fire Platform to various Hub Cities and Cooperative Cities across the Wasteland.
To date, the Fire Alliance has many members within.
Apart from Firewood Shelter City holding a transcendent founding position, below are six cornerstone cities of great stature.
As one of the six cornerstones, Happiness City naturally holds authority to issue collaborative information to the lower Hub Cities and Cooperative Cities.
With collaboration levels divided into five grades, level one being the lowest, and level five the highest.
Generally, level-four collaboration is customarily reserved for major matters concerning the core development of Shelter City.
Distributing the information and confirming the instruction code is correct, the staff immediately rises, quickly moving toward the dedicated elevator leading to the spire’s top.
The spire has 32 floors, and the elevator directly stops on the 30th floor.
Exiting the elevator, the staff quickly reaches the door marked "Zhang Ming," lightly knocking on the panel with their fingertips.
Knock, knock-knock.
"Come in." A full-bodied response echoes from inside the room, carrying a reassuring steadiness.
As they walk through the door, the cool-toned light first greets the eye.
The office occupies a small area, roughly only a hundred square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows taking up the entire north wall, offering a full view of the Fire Platform outside.
There is no traditional office desk inside, only a circular hovering silver alloy frame, three light screens steadily open above the frame, a rotating complex molecular structure model on the left, and rolling real-time updated energy fluctuation data stream on the right.
Zhang Ming stands in the middle of the light screens, fingertips wearing semi-transparent sensory gloves, gently manipulating virtual beakers and test tubes, pale green liquid swaying in an invisible container, at the moment of mixing with the transparent reagent, a faint purple reaction spot blooms instantly in the air.
