Chapter 599 Mareotis Forges the Temple
“Wuhu~~~”
“Harland, you, you, you—you want to send us all to the Golden Throne "Up, right?"
Amid a burst of curses, the oval-shaped aircraft rapidly changed its flight angle and began to fly vertically upwards at an eye-wateringly steep angle, clinging to the steep black cliff.
This made the people in the cabin almost tremble.
Then, the aircraft plunged into the sulfur-filled smoke coiling around the top of the mountain, as if it was about to crash into a pile of immovable rocks.
But the frightening impact never happened, and Roglis felt very calm for a while. He fixed himself in his seat with a magnetic lock, looked out through the panel, and immediately saw A sea of hot red magma is rising and rising below, as if the violent heart of the planet is boiling in this towering mountain range.
In his sight, the scene at the crater was swaying and beating due to the ultra-high thermal radiation emitted by the magma.
Although the unimaginably high heat has been isolated from the cabin, just looking at the melted rocks, Rogris will feel an unpleasant warmth.
"Mareotis Volcano, the second largest volcano on Mars after Arcea."
Hearing this voice, Roglis turned to look at the light brown cardboard box about half a person's height on the chair to his left, and said helplessly:
"Brother Rui, you can start with that one. But Are you coming out of Folding Fully Enclosed Mobile Cloaking Device No. 2?”
“I’m here”
Roglis immediately turned his head to the right and noticed that at some point, a pale face appeared. Raven Guard Techmarine Rui Boronat had appeared in the chair.
“Also, its full name is All-Terrain Foldable Fully Enclosed Mobile Stealth Device No. 3.”
After saying that, the Raven Guard cast his gaze out the window and whispered:
"I heard that it was originally an extinct volcano that was activated by the Mechanicus 10,000 years ago to serve the forge."< br>
“This is incredible.”
Roglis sighed and looked into the distance of the crater, where there was a huge industrial facility as big as a city.
Viewed from above, it looks like a black rose made of steel and rock rising from the magma, or like the exposed side of a starship submerged in it, a huge The gates spurted steam outwards from the lava, and powerful pistons of shimmering ceramite groaned as they rose and fell.
The clouds composed of ultra-high temperature steam surged and roared, like the breath of a giant dragon.
Roglis noticed that they were gaining altitude to fly over this strange building.
As he got closer, he could now truly feel the scale and complexity of this facility. A carefully arranged set of water gates, overflow channels and pressure gates restricted the flow of lava, allowing it to The system circulates continuously, creating the incredible scene beyond the crater.
The lava flows down the flanks of the mountains into a deep pit several hundred meters wide, where it converges into a vast lagoon, or a swath of hot, bubbling and hissing water. An inland sea formed by lava.
Built on this ocean is the Forge Temple of Maleotis, a great city.
When Logris saw those magnificent foundries - there was no doubt that this place belonged to the master of the forge, High Priest Zafarullah Heartfilia.
Across the undulating lava lake with flames burning on the surface, several black cylindrical towers rise from the magma, accompanied by several pyramids that look like the tops have been flattened and continue to move towards There were huge buildings spewing flames and steam outside.
The winding paths, wide avenues, empty squares, wide platforms and entire industrial areas were built in the heat of lava, seeming to challenge the fire of gold imprisoned on this planet. of terrifying power.
A golden track marked the path to a majestic silver building built in the center of this huge city, but as the aircraft continued to descend, the track quickly disappeared from view. .
A thick retaining wall made of black stones surrounds the lagoon. The scene looks like a crater filled with magma, a small nest city, a residential area, a landing field, and a runway. , a command tower and a huge container port hug the volcano’s cliffs, filling the horizon behind the wall.
Countless containers sealed with steel plates spread out from the city, stacked together to form a skyscraper of combat readiness materials: weapons, ammunition and supplies were manufactured in various factories on Mars to supply the supplement and conquest of all the empire's armies. The sky above the port is filled with various types of transport aircraft, some are only as big as a Rand, and some are close to small starships.
The craft were constantly taking off and landing on the city's surface, forming a veritable torrent of steel and braking flames.
A forest of cranes swayed and groaned throughout the port, their heavy balancing arms performing complex tasks at what could be described as a lazy pace, a fleet of servitors, stevedores and container boats. The assembled army moved as much cargo as possible into the cargo holds of the transport ships.
Suddenly, the aircraft tilted again and flew towards a landing platform in the city. A flashing red Mechanicus logo could be seen on a metal boom whose tail end extended into the magma. .
Looking out through the image-variable steel plate, the scene begins to ripple due to the high temperature.
“I heard that a quarter of the empire’s power armor was produced here during the late period of the Great Crusade. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
Ruy’s words reminded Roglis of himself. The purpose of this trip.
The chapter is now in dire straits, and many battle brothers are even fighting in malfunctioning power armor. This is a dereliction of duty on his part as a technical sergeant.
But, on the other hand, the huge secret in the battle group was weighing on his heart like a boulder.
During this trip to Mars, Soshyan also asked him to learn more about active metals. Perhaps the important task of solving the mystery of gray marrow in the future will be shouldered by him.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
This was immediately captured by the Raven Guard with keen senses.
"Rogris, what's wrong with you? Is it because you failed the logic course in the temple and you're worried about being blamed by the Lord of the Forge?"
"Go! I passed the make-up exam, okay? ! ”
At this time, the inner wall of the aircraft became opaque again, and as they descended through the hot airflow, the hull began to vibrate and make sharp sounds.
"Damn! Have they ever hit a ship here?"
Harland Alucard, who was close to the cockpit, once again started to complain about Loic Lue Ge, but his worries are justified. The technical sergeant from the Star Dragon will become as crazy as the green skin once he drives the vehicle.
Where everyone is now, if there is an accident, there is a high probability that there will be no survivors.
“What?”
Loic Lugo, who was in charge of driving, turned his head, his face was flushed, and a silver tattoo was shining on the right half of his face
"I mean, has anything fallen in before?" In the magma?”
“The devil knows!”
At this time, Uwe Munro, the technology priest who had been silent before, suddenly spoke. Said:
“It has happened a few times, so you’d better not think about this kind of thing.”
"I should have known I was coming!"
Harland complained in a low voice. At this time, the noise from the aircraft engine had changed from a low roar to a sharp sound, and the propellers on both sides were spraying out. Flame to correct the direction of airflow.
Apparently the pilots were having trouble lowering their craft onto the landing platform.
When a superstar falls, all nine states share the same sorrow, alas...
