Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 369: Four fission devices supply the World Tree, and it begins to sprout.

The elevator doors closed.

Rumbling--

The elevator began to ascend.

Shortly after, the elevator stopped.

The door opened.

A hazy gray sky came into view.

Lin Mo piloted the mecha, holding a giant nuclear reaction sphere as he stepped out of the elevator.

The cold wind howled.

Nuclear dust churned in the wind, obscuring everything.

On the holographic screen, the radiation level spiked.

[Warning: External radiation levels exceed safe limits.]

[It is recommended to release holy light for purification!]

Lin Mo shook his head.

"No need, my body can handle it. Just remind me before my body's cells and organs fail or become diseased."

Pangu cannot completely isolate nuclear radiation, it can only reduce it, so Lin Mo has to bear part of the burden.

Lin Mo, relying on his physical abilities and magic, could easily hold out for a while.

The Pangu mech strode forward, heading towards the direction indicated by the navigation system across the land riddled with giant bomb craters.

Each step crushed the scorched frozen earth, kicking up clouds of dust.

Soon after, the Pangu mech stopped on the scorched frozen ground.

Inside the mecha, Lin Mo saw five huge bomb craters ahead through holographic vision.

Each pit is over ten meters in diameter, with charred edges and bottoms that are unfathomably deep.

At the center of the pit are black holes, each four or five meters in diameter, like the earth's gaping maw.

Traces left by bunker-buster missiles.

Lin Mo stopped and gently placed the nuclear fission sphere he was holding on the ground.

He turned on the communication.

"Lord Chen, I have arrived."

"So, all we have to do next is throw the ball in?"

The communication system built into Pangu AI has always maintained a connection with Tianyong Dungeon.

Chen Jianguo's stern voice immediately followed.

"That's right, Commander Lin."

"But there are a few steps you need to follow."

"There is a special rope on the sphere. You need to pull the rope and slowly lower the nuclear fission sphere into the hole."

He paused for a moment and added:

"Before you put it in, there's a red pin on top of the ball; you have to pull it out first."

"After it is pulled out, the nuclear fission reaction will automatically start after half an hour."

Lin Mo responded and steered his mecha to crouch down.

He saw a rope, about the thickness of a little finger, silver-gray, wrapped around the top of the sphere; it looked sturdy.

It is about 60 or 70 meters long.

Lin Mo quickly found the red pin.

A flat metal ring is embedded in the top of the sphere.

The mecha's fingers gripped the edge of the pin and pulled hard.

click-

With a crisp click, the pin popped out.

A ring of dark red indicator lights lit up on the surface of the sphere and began to flash regularly.

Lin Mo casually put the pin into his pocket, then grabbed one end of the rope.

He maneuvered the mech to stand up, exerted force with both arms, and pushed the sphere toward the nearest crater.

Boom—

The heavy ball rolled across the frozen ground, leaving a deep rut.

Lin Mo stopped at the edge of the pit.

He gripped the ropes tightly with both hands and used the mecha's feet to kick the ball into the hole.

The sphere plummeted instantly, the rope sliding rapidly through his metal hand.

five meters.

ten meters.

Twenty meters.

The tension in the rope is increasing.

Forty meters.

Fifty meters.

Sixty meters!

The rope suddenly tightened and stopped sliding.

Lin Mo released his grip, letting the end of the rope fall into the deep hole.

"First to finish."

He turned around and maneuvered his mech toward the elevator he had come from.

Heavy footsteps crushed the scorched frozen earth, kicking up clouds of dust.

A dozen minutes later, Lin Mo returned to the underground loading area.

Chen Jianguo had already directed the staff to push the second nuclear fission sphere next to the elevator.

Lin Mo remained silent and repeated the actions he had just performed.

Lift the ball, enter the elevator, and ascend to the ground.

They ran towards the second pit.

Pull out the pin, push it into the hole, and lower the rope.

The movements were fluid and graceful.

The third.

the fourth.

As Lin Mo placed the last nuclear fission sphere deep underground, he looked up at the sky.

The hazy nuclear dust continued to swirl in the wind.

He could feel the temperature of the frozen ground beneath his feet gradually rising.

Suddenly, my throat tightened, and my stomach churned violently.

My skin also felt a stinging, needle-like pain.

He knew this was a normal reaction of the body to radiation.

Lin Mo raised his hand, and a ball of milky white light shone in his palm, instantly enveloping his entire body.

"Buzz—"

A warm feeling flowed through my limbs and bones, and the nausea and stinging sensation vanished.

"Magic is so useful!"

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

At this moment, four nuclear fission devices, located sixty meters underground, began to release astonishing heat and energy.

Lin Mo turned around and maneuvered the mecha toward the central crater.

This pit was prepared for the seeds of the World Tree.

He opened the metal box on the chest of the Pangu mecha and took out the seed, which was the size of a soccer ball.

The moment Lin Mo held the seed in his hand, he paused.

It was trembling slightly.

The peculiar patterns on the surface began to emit a faint green glow.

"It's already starting to sprout?"

Lin Mo stared at the seed in his hand, somewhat surprised.

At the top of the seed, an extremely tiny bud is slowly breaking through the hard seed coat.

It's growing slowly, but it is indeed growing.

He immediately started the small surveillance drone that Lord Chen had given him.

Lin Mo took out a spare paper bag from his waist and carefully put the seeds inside.

Next, he hung the paper bag on the hook at the bottom of the drone.

"It's starting to drop."

The drone adjusted its attitude, hovered directly above the crater, and slowly descended.

On Lin Mo's holographic screen, the real-time footage transmitted by the drone was switched on.

ten meters.

Twenty meters.

Thirty meters.

In the video, the seeds in the paper bag are trembling more and more violently.

Forty meters.

Fifty meters.

Sixty-two meters!

The drone landed at the bottom of the hole, and the robotic arm gently lowered the paper bag.

Lin Mo maneuvered the drone to rise a certain distance, then focused the camera intently on the seed.

In the picture, the tender shoot at the top of the seed grows at a sudden and rapid pace!

boom!

A burst of dazzling green light erupted from the seed's surface, illuminating the entire dark bottom of the hole.

The tender shoots tore through the paper bag and broke through the soil.

One, two, three!

Countless tiny roots burst forth from the bottom of the seed, spreading outwards into the surrounding soil.

They burrowed into the permafrost, growing precisely in the direction of the four nuclear fission devices.

The speed is astonishing!

In the monitoring footage, the soil around the seeds began to glow faintly.

It was impossible to tell whether the light was from nuclear radiation or from the seed itself.

The four nuclear fission devices are spaced less than ten meters apart and are located exactly in the four directions of the seed: due east, due south, due west, and due north.

The radiant energy they release converges underground into an energy field, all flowing towards the World Tree seed at its center.

Four times the radiation!

The seed's growth rate exploded!

The tender shoots are growing wildly, one centimeter per second, ten centimeters in ten seconds!

The roots grew even more rapidly, like countless wildly dancing giant pythons, plunging deeper into the ground.

In the surveillance footage, you can even see a layer of emerald green fluorescence flowing on the surface of the roots.

The four nuclear fission devices also gradually increased their output, starting from low power.

It perfectly matches the absorption limit of the World Tree seed!

All of this was the result of special adjustments based on the growth data of the World Tree in the Kyoto Underground City.

After confirming that the rapidly growing sapling on the screen was alright, Lin Mo turned and left.
