Chapter 1548: The high and clear sky under the Tower of Tongtian Tower, the calm sea as a mirror, and the giant tower of Tongtian standing in the center of this mirror-like calm ocean, no matter how many times you see it, Byron will be deeply shocked by the amazing creation left by the setter.

Even though he was driving a war machine as powerful as the Winter, even if he had a whole fleet under his command, he couldn't help but feel awe when he came to the foot of the giant tower of the sky.

But while this awe came to his heart, he could not help but think of what Gao Wen had said to him: One day, the civilization on this planet will also develop to a height like a setter, and mortals will also build giant towers to space, build a steel city outside the atmosphere, and the ships of the next generation will fly across the stars like light. What the setters do will still do.

The Cold Winter had already landed, and Byron took a landing craft to the landing field on the southeast side of the Iron Giant Island. He looked back at the edge of the landing field and saw a part of the large machinery extending from the construction ship to the intensive and orderly loading and unloading operations. The lifting device as tall as the main building of the castle extends from the side of the construction ship to the coast. The anti-gravity runes at the bottom of the transport pallet shine brightly in the sun. The heavy and huge components were lightly transported to the ashore and quickly became part of the new dock, or were initially reorganized and sent into the tower.

On the other side of the landing field, you can see a large number of barracks and other base facilities built with prefabricated parts. The towering magical obelisk is slowly rotating on a platform in the center of the base. The surging energy it releases maintains the operation of the base, and also provides additional energy supply for the equipment just moved from the dock. Several officers stationed in the base walked out and handed over to the Imperial fleet. New supplies were moved into the warehouse behind them.

The base was built when the "Sky Maintenance Engineering Team" set off and has been in operation for less than half a year. It serves as the ground command center and logistics support point for the engineering force in space. It is also a "ground rest station" for the engineering personnel returning from space to rest and adjust their status. The bases are all the most loyal and outstanding soldiers of the Empire, and there are a considerable proportion of technical soldiers and mechanics officers. Although they are unable to go to the sky to perform tasks due to the restrictions of the setter safety system, even during the days when they are left on the ground, they have completed a large number of research and sampling work on the setter ruins while maintaining the operation of the base.

In Byron's heart, this imperial research unit stationed in the depths of the vast ocean is all admirable soldiers. The barracks under their feet are the most distant frontier of the empire and even the most distant frontier of the civilized world.

In the east of the landing ground, on another coastline adjacent to the Human Pier, there is another coastal facility built separately. The buildings and mechanical facilities there are completely different from the "painting style" familiar to land races. A large number of architectural structures that resemble shells or corals and water storage tanks everywhere. The floating pure water ball makes people unable to help but think of the deep sea. The beautiful figures that are busy between those wonderful buildings and facilities make people see at a glance who is the port from...

It was the harbor built by the Sirens, named "Sierren". Due to the time difference, Byron did not see with his own eyes how this huge harbor was built. However, according to the soldiers stationed in the "Imperial Port", the "Sierren Port" "rises up from the seabed almost overnight." The Sirens used some outstanding technology to "pull" an old port originally located near their capital "Antavern" directly from the seabed, and then installed a giant thruster and drove it directly into the southwest of Loren, and within a few hours it was "installed" to the base of the track lift. The scene was said to be quite spectacular.

Byron was deeply regretful that he had not seen the construction process of "Sieron Port" with his own eyes. His Siren friends were very generous. These deep-water creatures with pitiful minds said that they could demolish the Siren Port and "strike" them on the Iron Island once, just to perform for friendly troops. Anyway, they were idle... Byron thought about it for three days, but in the end he was embarrassed to accept it.

As for now, the "Sierren Port" is in a very busy state like the Imperial Port. The "Dinghaiping Majestic General" has already docked at this moment. The amazing submarine cargo ship is squirting out the imposing mist and slowly opening the cargo warehouse gate. A large pile of strange-shaped siren fell into the giant pool next to the dock like seafood unloaded from the cabin. Next to the pool is another group of siren, who are directing the unloading of goods while fishing their sisters with various fishing equipment...

At the same time, in a certain "element field" built near the submarine cargo ship, you can also see many hazy and large-scale things being gradually taking shape, which are some large-scale equipment being transmitted from Anta Vien.

The Sirens have a wonderful "elemental transition" technology, which allows them to place themselves or some physical matter that has undergone special element transformation to any location on the planet, but this first requires building a certain "beacon anchor", and secondly requires huge energy and appropriate elemental environments. In the years when Antavern was in poor condition, it consumed a shocking amount of such a teleportation, so that the Sirens almost sealed this technology. But now it is said that Antavern's core fusion tower has recovered more than half of its functions, and the Sirens are finally willing to restart their teleportation yard. The huge "submarine cargo ship" is equipped with a powerful teleportation enhancement array. This is the first time Byron has seen it turn on.

The deep sea things are so wonderful.jpg.

Just standing on the coast of Iron Island, blowing the sea breeze, looking at the sea surface that was forcibly suppressed by a mysterious force field and appeared as calm as a mirror. Byron waited for a while, then suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from behind him. As the sound of footsteps came, there was also a familiar breath.

Before he could turn around, Asharena's smiley voice came into her ears: "How long have you been posing here? I'll just take a pose that looks full of the world and is waiting for me to come over, right?"

Byron then turned around and saw the "Dragon Seal Witch" with a striking red hair looking at him with a smile. He grinned and waved his hand: "What does it mean to be posing? I have the heart of the world. I am the commander of the Imperial Navy now, and my vision is different from before..."

"Okay, okay, I know you are different now, don't emphasize it to me," Asarena waved her hand, then took a strong breath, and slowly exhaled it as if she was serious. After repeating this two or three times, she shook her head with a slight sigh, "It turns out that the air on the surface is still a little more comfortable... Although the 'above' contains the atmosphere and gravity created by the life-saving system, it always feels awkward."

Byron frowned when he heard this: "The living environment of Cangqiong Station is very harsh?"

"That's not," Ashalina shook her head, "basically it's a psychological effect. When I think of myself as I'm staying in a steel shell far away from the earth and the ocean, located in a cold space, and this steel shell has been quietly running in space for more than a million years. Even if there is a pure atmosphere and a normal gravity environment around you, you will feel stressed. Moreover, there are many strange cabins on the Cangqiu Station, and tension and pressure are inevitable... Fortunately, we have convenient orbital lifts, and several teams can turn back to the surface to repair."

"I didn't see you last time," Byron shrugged. "I didn't see you last time. You either explored in the unknown cabin or were on duty at a certain transit site."

"After all, the task is heavy and there are fewer people. There are more and more areas of activation above. The engineering staff we brought here at first are getting less and less than enough... But now it is much better. With the recent replenishment of personnel, and the parent star barrier project has officially begun, the Cangkong Station is gradually becoming lively. The first batch of engineering teams, including me, have also had the opportunity to change their posts and rest frequently."

Assarena said, suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Byron with a smile: "What about you? The dignified Imperial Marshal is now like a transport captain, escorting cargo ships and engineering ships to transport cargo ships between the Loren continent and the orbital lifts. This is different from the scene you had ambition to me at the beginning, right?"

Faced with the joke in Asharena's tone, Byron rarely did not hold on to the scene at the first time, but sighed rarely: "To be honest, being a transport captain is better than fighting constantly. In the words of Your Majesty, there have been enough monsters and monsters that have hit humans in the past few years. At least it is better to calm down before the tide of demons."

Asharena looked at the "corps commander" in front of her in surprise, as if she could no longer associate her with the young, reckless, passionate mercenary leader in her memory, but soon, the surprise on her face turned into a smile: "Your words don't seem to be what the commander should say. Your soldiers didn't know what they would think when they heard it, but I'm very happy to see that you have finally become a calm person."

"There is no contradiction between not being wary and not being afraid of war," Byron said casually, then he patted his head as if he suddenly remembered something, reached out to touch it in his arms, and after searching for a long time, he took a small box in Asharena's increasingly curious eyes. He handed it to the Dragon Seal Witch in front of him, "By the way, this is for you."

At this moment, Asharena was really shocked. She stared at Byron with her eyes wide open, staring at Byron for a long time like a alien creature. After half a minute, she reached out to take the box, but the strange expression on her face did not fade away at all: "You actually know how to prepare a gift? Have you been with the Siren for a long time and your brain was affected by what's going on?"

While speaking, she looked at the box in her hand and found that it was just an ordinary rough wooden box with poorly crafted patterns on the surface, giving people the feeling that it could be bought with three copper plates at the market. Any priced at more than four copper plates would be smashed by passers-by. But after opening the box, she saw a brooch with exquisite workmanship and unique shape lying quietly in the dark velvet lining.

It was a blade made of carefully wrapped metal wire. The edges of the blades were serrated and undulating. They looked like exquisite dragon wings, and their edges were inlaid with small crystals. They didn't look expensive, but they were indeed exquisite.

Byron scratched his hair, his face seemed a little embarrassed: "This brooch is made of pea. She said she wanted to give it to you, so I just hand it over..."

Asharena blinked, her expression for a moment was not knowing whether she was crying or laughing. Finally, she could only sigh helplessly and shook her head with the look of "It's worthy of being you": "Okay, thank you Pea for me, this is really beautiful, I didn't expect she also learned this..."

Byron had hesitation on his face, and after holding it in for a long time, he finally said, "Actually, I have prepared a gift for you too..."

Asarena was stunned for a moment and looked at Byron curiously: "Ah...whether of that gift?"

"The box in your hand is," Byron pointed to the wooden box in the hand of the Dragon Seal Witch, "I changed it with the pencil case of Pea when I was a child..."

Asarena: “…?”

"Actually, I wanted to buy a more delicate box, but for some reason, Pea insisted on making one by myself and I didn't know how to do it, so I had to do it like this," Byron spread his hands, looking helpless, "You have to think that the craftsmanship is not good..."

"The craftsmanship is really not good, but at least you made it by yourself, so I'll endure it," Asarena interrupted the other party with laughter and cry, then shook her head, "Although I don't know why you have to be obsessed with giving a box... Forget it, I'll accept this thing."

After saying that, the Dragon Seal Witch paused, and then a look of distress appeared on her face: "I accepted it. I have to think about how to give you and Pea gifts. Pea is okay. When I return to land, I will choose gifts for her, but you guy... do you... have any hobbies? I remember you like drinking, but you should quit drinking at your age..."

Byron waved his hand: "Age is not a problem, I can insist on drinking!"

"Stand to your uncle!" Asarena almost kicked, but after considering the strength of the dragon's foot, she stopped forcibly. Then she seemed to suddenly remember something, and quickly turned around and ran towards the camp, while saying, "You are waiting here! I have something for you!"

Byron looked at the woman known as the "witch" with a look of surprise and ran away all the way faster than the knight who drove the charge. After a while, he watched the other party run back from the camp. There was smoke and dust behind him, and it seemed that he was carrying something on his shoulders until the other party ran closer before he could see clearly what it was.

Asarena carries a dark red scale as big as a shield on her body.

With a "bang", Asarena put the scales that were nearly one person tall in front of Byron. She held the upper part of the scales and smiled at Byron: "For you, I just replaced it a while ago..."

Byron: “…?”

After a while, he realized: "Do you dragons give things to others in this style? Can the shedged scales be used as gifts?"

"You are not happy yet, right?" Asarena stared at her eyes. "When time goes by a few years, do you know how much a piece of dragon scales can be worth in the human world? Not to mention that more than 90% of the dragon scales circulating on the continent at that time were stained with gum and then dyed... I am 100% true!"

"This...well," Byron had a cold sweat on his forehead. It seemed that it would be difficult to end if he didn't accept this thing today, but he was still a little at a loss when facing this special gift. "But what can I do to take it back..."

"Then I won't care," Ashalina waved her hand, "You can use it to sharpen a knife, and you can use four legs as a table. If it really doesn't work, you can install it and use it as a shield. I heard that your Majesty had done the same job back then..."
