Soon, Penny arrived with her entourage.
"Jingyuan, are you alright?" Penny asked with concern.
"no!"
Jingyuan looked at the people behind him and said, "Ailiya, come over and check if this device works. If it does, we'll use it for transportation. If it doesn't, give it to me."
This Aria is a technician in the Lighthouse Research Department, and she also studies anti-gravity devices.
Arya was responsible for the management and maintenance of the lighthouse's anti-gravity device.
Arya has short black hair and looks like a Hoklo, but has a Western name.
Looking at the anti-gravity device in front of her, Aria said, "This is an aerospace-grade anti-gravity device produced in the Old World, which is two levels higher than the Lighthouse's Class B device."
Aria noticed the frame built around the anti-gravity device and asked in confusion, "Why is there a frame structure outside this?"
Jing Yuan said, "This anti-gravity device has been activated. They seem to want to use this frame and the device itself to transport the device."
"People? There are still people here?"
Jing Yuan shook his head. "I didn't find it. But this anti-gravity device should theoretically be turned off."
Arya immediately took people to check.
After inspecting the area, Aria returned and said, "This must be deliberate. Although the material of this external frame device is old, the welding points are all new. Moreover, it is not yet perfect. As long as the final circuit is connected, the device can be controlled to fly."
"Can you do it?"
"no problem."
"That's great, it saves me from using my telekinetic powers."
Like physical strength, mental energy can also be depleted.
Save if you can.
Arya started working with a group of engineers.
Mu Qing, who was sent by Longgu Village, also went to help.
Mu Qing was also a girl.
At this point, Jingyuan also had some doubts, as it seemed that most of the technical staff were women.
But upon closer reflection, it makes sense, since men tend to do more physically demanding jobs.
Penny led Chu Feng and Ling Ge to search the surrounding area, and then Penny came over carrying a robot's severed arm.
“The crack on this robot’s severed arm is very new; it must have formed recently,” Penny said. “Have you ever considered that perhaps it wasn’t a human who activated this anti-gravity device, but a robot?”
Penny's words startled Jingyuan.
"You mean, it was done by a robot?"
"possible."
"Jingyuan, come and help!" Ailiya called out from the side.
“Go ahead!” Penny said. “Let’s go take another look!”
"it is good."
Jingyuan came to Ailiya's side.
"We need you to lift the device so we can repair the damaged frame," Aria said.
“No problem!” Jing Yuan used his telekinesis on the anti-gravity device to lift it up.
Arya pointed to the wreckage of the spaceship next to her and said, "You can find two pillars to support it."
Jingyuan used his mental energy to investigate and found two metal supports to hold up the anti-gravity device.
"There's nothing wrong with the device itself, is there?"
“No problem,” Arya said. “There were signs of repair on the device, but they’ve fixed it.”
Jingyuan became increasingly curious about who these "they" were.
Meanwhile, Penny, along with Chu Feng and Ling Ge, collected the nearby robot wreckage and arranged it in a row on the open ground.
There are sixteen robots in total.
Penny said, "Not only did we find robots, but we also discovered the tools they were using, which should be the tools for welding frames."
Jingyuan looked at the robots on the ground, some of which were broken into two or three pieces, and others were torn to pieces.
Moreover, judging from the broken joints, they were all forcibly torn apart.
The Devouring Beast is adept at attacking with its tentacles.
It's not hard to guess that it was caused by the Devouring Beast that had entangled and torn it apart.
Following this line of thought, Jingyuan discovered dents on the chests and heads of some of the robots, clearly caused by being entangled and squeezed.
If it really was that Devouring Beast that destroyed these robots...
In Jingyuan's imagination, these robots were repairing the anti-gravity device. Just as they activated it, the Devouring Beasts arrived...
Jingyuan looked at Penny and said, "These robots definitely don't act autonomously!"
Penny nodded. "Robots in the old world were all service robots. No matter how intelligent they were, they still needed humans to give them commands."
"There must be humans around here!"
Jing Yuan said to Chu Feng beside him, "Take this relatively complete robot to the spaceship and go back to study it."
"it is good."
……
The outer perimeter of the shielded area of Longgu Village.
A burly figure appeared.
He was draped in a long black robe that covered his entire body, and a tail suddenly emerged from the hem of his robe, swaying back and forth.
Judging from his tail, he is definitely not human.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he had a pair of sharp horns on his head.
"Ha..." He exhaled a burst of hot white breath and made a deep sound, as if he were talking to himself.
"Strange, there's the aura of a lord here, but I can't find where this lord is!"
"Could it be a new species that evolved from the lower levels?"
"However, since there is a lord here, how could he tolerate the Devourer absorbing the source essence here?"
Suddenly, a thought came through.
"The Devourer has appeared again?"
"It's in such a far place!"
"Let's go take a look first!"
After the burly figure finished speaking, he leaped into the air and ran swiftly across the ground like a missile flying close to the ground!
Chapter 217 Entering the Engineering Ship
Among the spaceship wreckage.
Arya activated the anti-gravity device and the transfer device.
The enormous spherical device slowly rose into the air, and some unsecured tools and debris fell down.
Aria walked over to Jingyuan and said, "The engine of the transfer device has low power and will be very slow. I suggest you use your telekinesis to pull the anti-gravity device to fly. That will be faster!"
"it is good!"
Jingyuan was quite satisfied with the result.
Compared to directly lifting the entire anti-gravity device, which can resist gravity and levitate on its own, Jing Yuan only needs a single thought to pull it.
The others returned to the spaceship, while Jingyuan flew through the air on a surfboard toward the engineering vessel.
Jingyuan's speed couldn't keep up with the Swift, so it could only fly slowly behind.
The straight-line distance between the marker point of the No. 1 antigravity device and the marker point of the engineering vessel is more than 300 kilometers.
It flew there quite quickly.
The Swift arrived near the marker first, and Jingyuan told them to stop ten kilometers away from the marker and wait for him to arrive.
Soon, Jingyuan arrived, pulling the giant spherical device.
"I'm going to check things out at the front," Jing Yuan said via the communication frequency.
Tasia replied, "I just scanned the area, and there's no trace of a King-level Devouring Beast."
Jingyuan replied, "If there's no monarch-level, then what about those below the monarch level?"
Tasia was speechless for a moment.
Jingyuan was quite curious about the radar system on the Swift.
