Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 448 Goddess, Great Engineer

On the way to Jiuchang from the capital.

There are twenty stops along the way.

Among the larger sites is "Star Tower Data Matrix".

This matrix is ​​also one of the must-see attractions for many interstellar tourists.

"I'm going to Jiuchang City."

Jiang Jian stopped her thoughts and spoke softly.

The girl in the school uniform nodded, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.

She had assumed that Jiang Jian, like herself, was also visiting the Matrix.

after all.

Based on her usual impression.

On this space-themed train, most passengers will disembark at the "Astronomical Star Trails" and "Star Tower Data Matrix" stations.

The train travels very fast in the dedicated tunnel.

The special train will make a brief stop when passing through stations.

Astronomical star orbits.

Lingjiang Canyon.

Star Tower Data Matrix.

As the train passes through major stations.

The number of people on the special train kept decreasing.

"I'm getting off the bus."

As the silver-gray train came to a stop, the schoolgirl stood up, unlocked the transparent clasp on her seat, and whispered to Jiang Jian.

Jiang Jian looked up, gave a formulaic smile, and said, "Goodbye."

Meanwhile, beneath the sleeves of the snow-white robe.

Jiang Jian flicked his fingers, and a scrap of paper fell and stuck to the girl.

Paper figures, gentle breeze.

The schoolgirl was unaware, letting the scrap of paper enter her personal protective equipment.

"Goodbye."

She turned around, glanced at Jiang Jian, and then got off the bus with the flow of people.

When exiting the station.

The paper scraps formed by the breeze, protected by the girl's identity, easily passed the test.

Jiang Jian's task for it was to collect information from the "Star Tower Data Matrix" and then transmit it back.

Click!

The train doors closed.

The space-based special train started up again and sped towards its final destination.

this time.

There was only one major stop left along the way: the "Third Commoners' District".

The train's speed increased significantly.

soon.

On the distant horizon.

A colossal city, quite different in style from the capital, yet equally magnificent.

A massive outline is vaguely visible.

City background.

A completely different star tower stands there.

This tower of countless stars is entirely dark purple in color.

The energy vortex at the top of the tower is an eerie purplish-black.

It rotates slowly every moment.

At first glance.

Like a giant purple eye, coldly gazing down at the earth.

The fluctuations it emits.

Compared to the Star Tower in Beijing.

It is even more secluded and more unsettling.

"The ultimate goal of the plan is the Jiuchang Star Tower."

On the train, almost all the planners were on edge, looking out the window at the giant purple-black tower in the distance.

A few minutes later.

We've arrived in Kyoucho City.

Inside the private tunnel.

The space train pulled into the platform and came to a smooth stop.

The train's public address system broadcast a gentle, mechanical announcement.

Jiang Jian was the first to stand up, gazing at the Jiuchang Star Tower with a calm and deep gaze.

Memories of the character "厘" (li) flooded back.

For it.

This giant tower feels both strange and familiar.

"The four teams disembarked and proceeded to their first resting place."

As Jiang drew his finger, his identification bracelet flashed, issuing clear instructions to the personnel on the route.

soon.

Everyone rose silently, checked themselves, and then suppressed their auras to the extreme.

They followed their respective captains, like drops of water flowing into a river, merging into the crowd of people getting off the bus, and set foot in the city.

Jiuchang.

The first point of reference refers to the comprehensive venue mentioned in the planning documents.

"Star Gazing Training Ground"

This training ground is extremely large.

among them.

It includes various meditation rooms, a library, and a reception area for spiritual banquets.

The outer layer of the training ground is a large hall that integrates a giant fighting arena, a trade center, a gambling center, and other facilities.

The "Star Gazing Training Ground" is located below the Jiuchang Star Tower and is shrouded by its affiliated star array.

Those who live here with money are mostly extraterrestrial beings, making it easy for them to enter and exit the Star Tower and challenge it at any time.

The service staff are mostly local Mercurians.

According to the top-secret information provided by the project team.

One of the directors behind this training ground has been successfully infiltrated.

This will be the residence for the operations planners for the next period of time.

The Star Gazing Training Ground is too large and has a lot of people coming and going; it can be described as a mixed bag.

Using this place as a base, we can slowly infiltrate the Star Tower without attracting anyone's attention.

because.

Many extraterrestrial beings have lived there for decades in order to challenge the myriad star towers and hone their skills.

It would be perfect for the planners to infiltrate the group.

The Star Tower is not just an official facility on Mercury.

Its additional functions are also numerous.

One such example is designating a section of modules specifically for people to challenge.

"Although Jiuchang City is not as prosperous as Shangjing, it always gives me a sense of profoundness."

On the hovercar, Lu Chen looked out the window and clicked his tongue in admiration.

Jiang Jian turned his head slightly and looked outside.

Kyoucho City is filled with large black buildings.

Above each building, a purple vortex swirled, stretching far into the distance.

The architecture here bears the marks of time and exudes an ancient and somber atmosphere.

far away.

Below the purple star tower.

There is a magnificent, circular complex of buildings.

Stargazing Training Ground.

This large complex almost completely surrounds the Star Tower from all sides.

Data shows.

Behind the Wangxing Group, the largest board member is the Jiuchang City Government.

The city government of Jiuchang is mainly governed by officials dispatched from Saturn.

Native Mercurians occupy a small number of positions.

As a colonized planet.

This is one of the few remaining privileges that Saturn bestows upon Mercury.

"Ziwei, I have led my team to Wangxing Group and are currently at the cultivation center, preparing to rent rooms."

Shang Tianhai's message came over.

"Ziwei, the second team has arrived at their lodging location and is currently verifying their identification documents."

"Ziwei, all members of the third team have been settled in. Each person has been rented a room and is ready to be deployed at any time."

Both Star Vortex and Dough sent messages.

The hovercar slowly came to a stop.

Jiang Jian put away his identity bracelet and led Lu Chen and the others into the Star Gazing Training Ground.

stand right here.

With just a slight upward tilt of the head, one can see the enormous star tower piercing the sky.

The cultivation center is one of the core buildings of the cultivation field.

Located directly below the Star Tower, it is completely enveloped by the star array and is a ring-shaped, thousand-story mega-building.

In the middle of the mega-building, aircraft shuttled like streaks of light, and people thronged like ants.

Jiang Jian's fourth team, following the automatic check-in instructions, quickly arrived at the top of the giant building and used Saturn digital currency to book rooms for each team member.

The operation plan will last for three years.

This time, the accommodation wasn't crowded with dozens of people like before.

Each participant in the program has their own personal development plan in addition to their assigned tasks, requiring separate private space.

Even support staff have their own rooms, without exception.

after all.

If you rent a place long-term with Wangxing Group, you will receive certain discounts.

Ziwei's route resulted in the rapid expenditure of most of the Saturn digital currency he held.

In return, they were given a year's rent at the Wangxing Group's training ground.

"The environment is quite nice."

Lu Chen sat on the sofa, looking somewhat relaxed.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the myriad star towers are visible in the distance. From here, one can clearly see the interlocking and rotation of the star tower's structural modules.

This is a large suite.

Inside, there are six training rooms.

Apart from Jiang Jian.

The other rooms were prepared for the three captains.

Besides this suite.

The other planners lived on different floors of the building.

"Ten minutes later, all team leaders and key personnel came to the suite for a meeting."

Jiang Jian stood by the window and spoke in a deep voice.

on the sofa.

Both Shang Tianhai and Tuanmu felt a chill run down their spines and responded in hushed tones.

Xingxuan is currently helping the team members resolve the issue of housing certificates and has not yet arrived.

The Ziwei route has a total of 33 people.

among them.

Core personnel: 12 people.

Support staff, 20 people.

The next meeting excluded support staff.

after all.

These personnel only need to execute orders and don't need to think too much.

Core personnel, on the other hand, need to participate in deeper levels of the plan.

soon.

In the suite.

The 12 core personnel arrived one after another.

"Ziwei".

"I have met Ziwei."

Including Xingxuan, all of them remained calm and bowed to Jiang Jian.

All the way.

They gained a clearer understanding of the Jiuchang Star Tower and the combat objectives they would be facing.

"Everyone sit down."

Jiang Jian sat in a chair, his snow-white robe sleeves fluttering lightly.

These key personnel exchanged glances and slowly sat down.

"Our task is neither difficult nor easy."

Jiang Jian spoke softly, "As long as you are careful and proceed step by step, there won't be any major problems."

below.

Shang Tianhai stood up and said in a deep voice, "Ziwei, I have something to say: we don't have enough Saturn digital currency."

The girl in the star-patterned robe next to him nodded as well, saying, "After paying the rent, we are indeed a bit strapped for cash."

Jiang Mian remained calm and said, "Don't worry about this. After the meeting, I will give each team 10 Saturn digital coins."

Hear this.

The planners below all relaxed.

Earth Alliance Coins have no use here.

Without money, you can't do anything.

This batch of Saturn digital currency was transferred to Jiang Jian not long ago through a Jiuchang City account.

The person behind it was the director who had been infiltrated.

"The main purpose of this meeting is to clarify the division of tasks."

Jiang Jian looked at Shang Tianhai, and only continued speaking after Shang Tianhai sat back down.

"Among the core personnel, those in challenge positions, infiltration positions, and cover positions all need to be prepared."

The words fell.

Immediately, most of the core personnel stood up and replied, "Yes!"

Jiang Jian nodded, looked at the others, and said, "Among the support personnel, you need to keep a close eye on the corresponding interference positions, resource positions, and logistics positions, and there can be no mistakes."

The men, their faces solemn, replied, "Yes!"

It takes about 3 hours to infiltrate a star tower module using the "interference device" of the Imperial Star Palace.

This work must be kept secret from everyone.

The penetration process is actually very simple.

There are dedicated core personnel responsible for participating in the Star Tower Challenge, climbing up one section at a time.

Other personnel provided cover and infiltration during their challenge.

Once the "jamming device" is successfully implanted into a module, the current task is considered complete.

No noticeable changes will occur after the module is implanted.

Only if more than 20% of all modules of the Jiuchang Star Tower are compromised can Jiang Jian use his highest privileges to inflict a devastating blow on it.

Star Tower Challenges come in many types.

Challenges include climbing stairs, mental training, navigating illusions, and stress tests.

All of these modules that provide the challenges are paid features.

on the surface.

The planners participate in various challenges.

Actually.

Its true purpose.

However, it subtly alters the properties of the modules it passes through.

During infiltration.

In addition to dealing with the inspection module and the detection module.

Logistics also need to be improved.

Due to limited carrying space.

The Imperial Star Palace only distributed a small number of "interference devices".

After these devices are used up, they need to be temporarily refined in Jiuchang City using locally sourced materials according to the original formula.

The recipe for the "interference device" is kept by the monitoring station.

Even the three main executive positions cannot be easily demanded.

One of the main tasks of these support personnel is to disperse throughout the city, purchase the materials needed for the equipment, and bring them back to the base.

The assignments they received were relatively safe.

Xu Gaoshan's "interference position" is also a support position.

However, the level of danger they face is the same as that of core personnel.

"The fourth squad will be led by Tian Kui."

Jiang Jian turned his head slightly to look at Lu Chen, "Keep a close eye on Xu Gaoshan in the team."

Lu Chen stood up and solemnly replied, "Yes."

Jiang Jian nodded and said, "Go and get ready. Tomorrow morning, the challenge will officially begin from four different directions."

All the core personnel responded, "Yes!"

As these people left the room.

A brief silence fell over the suite.

After the division of labor is clearly defined.

Each planner has their own tasks to complete.

Jiang Jian, who was in the main executive position, found himself with less free time.

But he knew very well in his heart.

nowadays.

The plan went very smoothly.

Actually.

If we are accidentally exposed, it will be a catastrophic disaster!
What I need to do is to have an overall view of the situation and identify and address any shortcomings.

This ensures the smooth execution of the operational plan.

Click.

The door opened.

The girl in the green dress walked out of the training room and stood in the hall, letting out a soft sigh: "Finally finished."

At this time.

Both Tuanmi and Shang Tianhai had left the suite to hold a meeting with their team members.

Lu Chen and Xing Xuan stayed in their cultivation room and did not come out.

Only Jiang Jian, sitting on the sofa, looked slightly serious and asked, "What is that?"

The girl in the green dress chuckled softly, extending her slender white hand. A phantom Rubik's Cube spun rapidly: "The mold for the interference device."

Jiang Jian stood up, a hint of surprise in his eyes: "You actually made the mold based on the recipe."

Memory based on "厘".

Jiang Jian has a good understanding of star array technology.

He is very clear.

Making a mold for the star array device is extremely difficult.

This requires an extremely high level of expertise in star array technology.

exactly.

A mold is a simplified version of a recipe.

Having the recipe, they can refine "interference devices" one by one, but the efficiency is very low.

But if one possesses a star array mold.

Simply put the materials into it and activate the array at will to mass-produce the corresponding devices!

"This is an extra test given to me by the Imperial Star Palace."

The girl in the blue dress handed over the Rubik's Cube, her eyes clear and bright. "There's something I forgot to tell you."

"My little mother, also known as the White-Clad Goddess of the Fourth Sea."

"In the field of divine technology, she is undoubtedly a great engineer."

“I studied with her for a while and have some basic understanding of Star Array technology.”

The girl spoke calmly, with a hint of arrogance in her voice.

Since the preparation for war on the moon.

Since we met again as Qing Shuang.

Nie Zheng's temperament became increasingly aloof and detached.

Her noble bearing as a princess of the Qin palace often manifested itself unconsciously.

aside.

Jiang Jian took the Rubik's Cube and looked down at it.

This object is translucent, shifting between reality and illusion, and surrounded by ethereal light.
