Ways to get in and out of the bottom nest

"Whatever this place was originally used for, now what the ancients built has become a problem for us."

"From what I can gather, there are ancient self-destruct mechanisms embedded in the metal above and around the tunnel."

Klein squatted on the ground, gesturing with his fingers on the drawing he had drawn.

"This self-destruct mechanism isn't fancy, but it's reliable and effective enough."

"They are basically bombs placed inside a metal wall, connected to a self-healing detonation button."

"When the button is pressed, the bomb inside the wall will be detonated. The giant metal fragments that fall off are enough to block the passage, but what's more deadly is that there is a second circle of bombs inside the wall. The effect of this circle of bombs is similar to that of a hot melt gun."

"First, the metal fragments fell off, and then the molten metal flooded into every gap, turning the metal fragments into a whole, blocking the 900-kilometer-long channel."

"My Lord, I wonder what the person who designed this was thinking."

After saying that, Klein picked up the blueprint and handed it to Anrida.

"You seem to be quite familiar with the self-destruction mechanism of this channel?" Qin Mo asked in surprise.

"Of course. My family is the oldest engineering family on this planet." Klein's face was filled with pride. "The story of my family's rise to fame is all related to these self-destruct mechanisms."

"About 1,700 years ago, my ancestors undertook a secret project designed by the then Governor General. It took them 30 years to remove a melta bomb from the wall."

"At the time, war was raging in Hive Talon, with rebels from an unknown sect fighting against the planetary defense forces."

"Just when everyone thought the governor at the time would use the bomb for military purposes, he used the bomb to blow up the area where another noble family lived, turning many buildings into molten iron."

After listening to Klein's story, Qin Mo said with emotion: "It seems that this is also a skill passed down from generation to generation by the Governor."

"The skills passed down in their family are more than just playing with bombs," Klein said.

The three of them stood together and looked at the obstacle in the passage.

After the chat was over, Qin Mo raised his hand and tried to see if he could use his ability to quickly get through here.

But Klein had no hope for this. After all, he was present when Qin Mo built the fortress. The outer walls of the fortress were attached in sections. Compared with the obstacles blocking the entire passage, the fortress was like a small house.

But you have to try everything.

After Qin Mo concentrated on mobilizing the power of the Star God, the metal in front of the three people began to flow, flowing down the slope like liquid, and then controlled by Qin Mo to stick to the walls around the passage.

The huge walls made up of solidified metal fragments are recovering rapidly.

At this time, Qin Mo recalled what Mimicry said and realized that his strength was indeed gradually recovering.

If they had built a fortress instead of digging this giant tunnel, it would only take one second for the fortress to rise from the ground.

After half an hour, Qin Mo gave up: "It's just a drop in the bucket. I feel like I'm trying to fill the ocean with stones."

Anrida didn't know what the ocean was, but Klein did, so he could understand what Qin Mo meant.

"Are all these obstacles tightly sealed?" Qin Mo suddenly had an idea, "If I could get inside the obstacles and install hot melt bombs in the gaps..."

As he spoke, Qin Mo walked towards the obstacle and distorted the laws of physics in a large area around his body, allowing the metal to be penetrated like air.

Klein and Andrada were no longer surprised when they saw Qin Mo penetrate the wall and enter.

After waiting for ten minutes, Qin Mo came back and explained the situation to the two: "It's been filled tightly with molten iron. There's no way to fix it."

"What if we don't dig anymore?" Klein asked, "Just like you enter the metal, let others march around you, and then enter the metal together, digging a big hole every kilometer for rest. Can this work?"

"You don't think I'm as available as he is, do you? How can you get in without me?" Qin Mo pointed at Andreida.

"That's true..." Klein was completely at his wit's end.

Qin Mo began to think about how to dig a passage.

In fact, it is very simple. All you need to do is manufacture engineering machinery for excavation, research small-scale engineering machinery and high-efficiency metal excavation equipment to dig, or manufacture giant engineering machinery equipped with energy beams to melt through the metal blocking the channel bit by bit.

But just when he started thinking about what kind of engineering machinery to make, Qin Mo suddenly had another idea.

Since we are going to create a method of interstellar travel that is not based on the subspace in the future, why not start researching it now?

Start with relevant technologies, make some basic things first, until you expand the entire technology tree and can use it proficiently.

Qin Mo himself didn't know what this technology was, but he felt that this channel was like the distance between galaxies, and there was always a way to cross it.

Qin Mo looked at Klein, "Not only will I not dig this blocked passage, I will also reinforce it, making it impossible to break through and destroy it."

"Are we going to stay in the bottom nest forever?" Crainton felt bad.

"No, we can still go in and out, but we don't need to go in and out through this passage." Qin Mo walked towards the train, "Others should not waste time on this passage. If the various regiments cannot find rebels to attack, then conduct training and exercises."

...

After returning to the fortress, Qin Mo decided to conduct a long research, and before that he had to settle everything.

If it is true as Mimicry said, that there is a bigger conspiracy on this planet and it is being corrupted, then we must make plans to live in the Bottom Nest for a long time, rather than leaving the Bottom Nest together and never coming back.

The establishment of a new Cato city was imminent.

Qin Mo instructed the main control intelligence to drive the logistics machinery to build a new city. This city should be built like a fortress, and ensure that electricity and water can be connected to every corner of the city, and there should be a large number of arsenals and artillery batteries.

Civilians would live under various artillery batteries in the city. They would normally be workers in arsenals, and in wartime they would operate the artillery batteries as a family unit and participate in defense.

There will be a shelter in the center of the city, which will be a shelter for children in wartime, but in normal times it will be a school.

Schools will not teach physical education and fine arts because these are too luxuries. Students will only learn how to identify who the enemy is and how to fight the enemy.

Qin Mo would not dream of building a utopian city, but he would ensure that the people in this city could easily get what they would have to pay a price to get, that is, food and fresh water.

After arranging everything, Qin Mo devoted himself to the research. He quickly figured out what direction he should conduct his research in.

That is the creation of shortcuts to travel through alternate spaces and dimensions - a human version of Necron phase-shifting technology.
