Book 6 Chapter 23.2 - Start of Hell


    Up north, Scorpion Nest had already be a giant factory, the rumbling sounds of machines continuing through the night. Loading trucks sent tons of raw materials into the factory, yet no waste products were spat back out. In the city’s northern corner, a row of six giant chimneys continuously released white steam, the nuclear ind below continuously producing enormous amounts of electricity, moreover transporting it into the Scorpion Nest depths’ underground base. That ce was like a ck hole that devoured everything. No matter how much energy or raw materials were poured in, they never came back out. Even though the scorpion nest devoured a sea of energy and raw materials, it didn’t continue producing concocted human soldiers. Meanwhile, next to the original six nuclear inds, three new nuclear power nts were currently being constructed, thousands of concocted soldiers operating over a hundredrge scale engineering machinery, currently nervously busying about. From the construction site that was exposed, one could see that all of these nuclear power nts were missing the multiyered core protection, only having an extremely simple and crude radiation isting barrier, sorge amounts of radiation leaked outwards. However, the essential protection of the olden era was already not essential in the new era. After just blocking it slightly, the radiation that leaked outwards was already about the same as the amount in the wilderness.


    At the center of the underground base, a beautiful yet somewhat strange scene was currently ying out. In this enormous several dozen meters tall, several thousand square meters surface area space, gravitypletely lost effect. Countless parts flew about, some weighing several tons, the smaller ones miniature gears that were only a cubic millimeter in size. Numerous lines of attraction criss-crossed about, guiding all of the parts to their pre-scheduled direction and then installing them into their corresponding positions. The parts were turned into incrediblyplexponents, theseponents than assembled into a part of an evenrger body. On the hall’s two walls were over a hundred tforms that stretched out, every single tform arranged different machine tools. Parts were currently being processed, and after they were finished, they would be flung into the air, following which a gravitational line would promptly appear, guiding that part to its designated location.


    Above the hall, a pair of ice cold eyes were currently overlooking everything in the hall. These were a pair of eyes made purely from energy. One could see an endless honeb-like grid, within eachpartment a part. Moreover this grid wasn’t just a singleyer, but insteadyered one after the next,pletely impossible to count.


    If one didn’t look at its inhumanposition, just from it as a whole, this pair of eyes also released indescribable icy coldness. That was not only inhuman, itpletely disassociated from the biological system. Based on normal reasoning, eyes formed purely from energy shouldn’t carry any emotions, yet it left others with a clear and powerful impression. Even if it was some form of life, it was still unknown which would system’s life it was. Perhaps it was some type of energy life form, or maybe an even higher level biological body.


    At the center of those two eyes floated the body of the apostle. His body was exposed, figure extremely perfect, but the areas of dark blue color his flesh disyed gave off an inhuman feel. His eyes were closed, starting to slowly float in the air. Several gorgeous light bands reached out from his body, connecting to the intelligence system’s ports, and then a sea of data was transmitted through a method thatpletely surpassed present world science and technology. All of theponents’ parts and assembly, even all of Scorpion Nest’s movements, were under his control.


    On the hall’s side wall protruded a shelf, several dozensers producing a three-dimensional image of her. She was extremely beautiful, but her expression was as cold as ice. From time to time, she would open her mouth, blowing out streaks of ribbons that linked up to the terminal port of the data, and then operate the hundreds of equipment. From time to time, her eyes would also separately release light, directly shining on certain ports, this way raising the transmission efficiency several fold.


    The woman’s image was only a tool for data transmission, but she also had her own expressions, as if she wasn’t as simple as just an image.


    At the center of the hall was embedded a ten meter diameter giant ss tank, the giant brain floating in the nutrient fluid inside precisely the Scorpions of Disaster’ central intelligence system, Naxu. When the apostle was asleep, she was practically in charge of all of the Scorpions of Disaster’s management and research work. Right now, when the apostle was perfecting his own form, her assistance was absolutely crucial.


    As theponent assembly neared its end, a gigantic mechanical beast gradually took form. The eyes in the hall gradually closed, while the apostle’s eyes opened.


    Countless gears instantly fit together, drive mechanisms only the size of batteries were ced in designated positions. These drive mechanisms were extremely small in size, but they possessed the power of olden era powerful tanks’ diesel engines, moreover the force was nearly endless. Nuclear fusion batteries that were only the size of a button were already being mass-produced in Scorpion Nest, this was already technology that far surpassed the present era, and then taking a step further, the charging of the core engine and main weapon was done through instations that directly drew energy from space,pletely an endless supply. Only, the two space furnace were toorge, and that was why the entire machine correspondingly becamerger as well. However, the anti-gravity engine thus disyed its effects, making this machine’s tremendous wait not a problem, so in theory, it could be asrge as it wanted to be. The limiting factors were only energy and raw materials, but with the space furnace, energy was not a restricting condition either.


    All of the epoch-marking designs in the ns came from the awoken apostle. After he had reconstructed a body, he immediately revised Scorpion Nest’s entire production system, first establishing a series of work machines, and then what followed wererge amounts of material extraction and refinement facilities, andstly the processing facilities, simultaneously carrying out a cleaning of the underground base, producing an enormous production space. Whenever Diaster upied an area, he would bring back everything he could find to Scorpion Nest.


    Piece after piece of finely polished armor stuck to the metal body. The ends of the gravitational lines released zing rays of light, melding the armor tes onto it, covering up the precise and delicate inner structure. An unprecedented giant metal body was currently taking form.


    This was a portion of the Lightning Apostle’s main body, Starship Valha.
