Chapter 364: Stabilizers
Among the crowd, only Sikong Mao wasn’t wearing a mask. He looked at Fang Heng, his gaze fixed on Fang Heng’s red mask.
“I’m Sikong Mao, the person in charge of the research institute.”
“Fang Shuo.”
Fang Heng replied indifferently, his gaze shifting to Sikong Mao.
Sikong Mao!
The Federation’s S-level wanted criminal!
He was a ruthless character.
Fang Heng had a slight impression of him.
There were two types of criminals that could make it onto the S-level wanted list.
The first type was those who were strong to a certain extent and possessed extremely destructive abilities, causing the Federation to feel an extremely great threat.
The second type was those criminals who relied on their efforts to stir up trouble in the game, causing great damage to the Federation.
Sikong Mao belonged to the latter.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Time is limited. Let’s walk and talk.”
Sikong Mao turned around and led Fang Heng into the research institute. He gave Fang Heng a general introduction to the research institute.
“This building used to be one of the secret research institutes of the Meteorite Company. Now, it’s completely under the control of our Night Owl.”
The group of people walked straight into the research institute and stopped in front of the delivery elevator.
Sikong Mao pressed the button that led to the second basement.
A few players who were pushing ore carts followed them into the elevator.
“After we took over the research institute, we completely modified it and strengthened the research institute’s defensive capabilities.”
“The wilderness areas are all anti-federal organizations. We’re united against the outside world, so it’s safer. Next is stealth...”
“Stealth?”
Fang Heng looked at the player who was moving the ores and materials, thinking, is this still considered stealth?
“There’s a change in the plan. They only came here last night. Two days ago, only the core members of Night Owl’s organization knew about the existence of the research institute.”
Sikong Mao noticed Fang Heng’s tone and explained.
He raised his head to look at Fang Heng and asked, “Fang Shuo, what’s your mechanic level and building level?”
“Both are Level 15 and there’s also the talent skill bonus.”
Fang Heng deliberately omitted Tier 3.
Sikong Mao’s eyes flashed with surprise.
“You’re Level 15?”
“Yes.”
“Very impressive.”
Sikong Mao nodded his head in praise.
Level 15. This level was considered a veteran player in Server 5.
“Looks like Old Black has introduced me to a reliable candidate.” Sikong Mao sighed and asked intentionally, “How do you know Old Black?”
“In the beginning, it was through an anonymous mission. At that time, I didn’t know that he was related to your Night Owl, so I was almost cheated by him once.”
Fang Heng said with a smile, “But he still gave a lot of money, and it arrived in time.”
“Ding Dong!”
The elevator stopped at the third basement.
“Let’s go.”
Along the way, Fang Heng was observing the surrounding terrain.
The internal security of the research institute was relatively tight. Night Owl players wearing silver masks could often be seen.
After walking through a passage that was about ten meters long, a huge underground platform appeared in front of them.
“This is the research institute’s main control room.”
Seeing the scene in the main control room, Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly constricted.
That was...
In the middle of the platform stood a large mechanical device.
Many players were surrounding the machine and making calculations and modifications.
What the hell!
Large-scale space tearing device?!
Fang Heng was shocked.
That’s not right!
Fang Heng frowned as he carefully observed the super-sized machine in the centre of the platform.
It was not a large-scale space tearing device.
Even though it was very similar to the structure of the space tearing device.
“Let me introduce the space tearing stabilizing device.”
Fang Heng turned his head to look at Sikong Mao.
“What’s that?”
Sikong Mao wanted to test Fang Heng’s mechanical knowledge.
“Old Black said that you’re proficient in mechanical devices, so you should have heard of the large-scale space tearing device, right?”
“Of course, it’s a kind of long-distance transmission device. It consumes a lot of energy and requires a special blue crystal as its energy source.”
Fang Heng paused and added, “In addition, I heard that after the device is upgraded to a higher tier, it can also conduct teleportations across servers.”
“You’re right. The space tearing device is the ‘back door’ left behind by the game in various worlds.”
“After we get the space tearing device, we can continuously upgrade it to level up, so that we can cross servers and even cross the game worlds.”
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
What Sikong Mao said proved his previous guess.
That’s right!
The space tearing device would most likely continue to level up after levelling up to Tier 4!
Fang Heng had always believed that the destruction of the first-generation meteorite in Server 8 had something to do with Night Owl.
It was the Night Owl organization’s use of the space tearing device.
And the traces left in the cave on Paradise Island indicated that it was related to vampires.
Therefore, Fang Heng concluded that it was an invasion from the world of vampires.
This meant that the large-scale space tearing device could also carry out transmissions across the game world!
For example, it could enter the world of vampires of the same level.
It could even enter the game world of a higher level!
Fang Heng took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the large-scale device in the middle of the spacious main control room.
“You still haven’t told me what this thing is used for?”
“You can think of it as an amplification device of the space tearing device.”
Sikong Mao explained, “There are multiple restrictions on the space tearing device. Under normal circumstances, the passage across the game world can only open for a very short moment.”
“For example, a normal space tearing device can only transport a player from the original point A world to point B world, and it will also cost a little.”
“Now, we can build an amplifier at point B to link point A and point B for a long time, which is equivalent to opening a long-lasting passage.”
“Of course, this passage still has many restrictions, and there are still many things that can not pass through this temporary passage.”
Listening to Sikong Mao’s words, Fang Heng’s heart beat wildly.
“You’re saying that this can be used to open a continuous time passage?!”
“Yes, that’s right.”
A cold glint appeared in Sikong Mao’s eyes.
“The troublesome thing is that building the passage requires a lot of rare materials and a lot of energy.”
As they spoke, a few players laboriously dragged a few large boxes into the laboratory and stacked them along the right wall.
“As you can see, those boxes are filled with blue crystal raw ores.”
“You should also know that after the Dark Knights of District 5 were destroyed, the production method of blue crystal ores is also impossible to obtain. Hence, we can only use this inefficient method to directly use blue crystal raw ores as energy stabilizing devices.”
“Hence, we need a large number of blue crystal raw ores.”
“Unfortunately, most of the blue crystal raw ore mines in District 5 are within the scope of the Federation’s control.”
“Therefore, from a few months ago, we’ve already begun to secretly steal the blue crystal raw ores from within the Federation.”
Sikong Mao walked to Fang Heng’s side and sized up the large space stabilizing device located in the centre of the main control room.
“I believe Old Black has already told you that to obtain the blue crystal raw ores, there was a huge commotion last night.”
“Those people from the Federation aren’t all trash. I believe that they will react very quickly. They might be able to guess what we are trying to do.”
“Therefore, I need to complete the construction of the stabilizing device before the Federation realises it, and open the passage completely!”
