Chapter 83 Renovation Begins Smoke Tower
Thick smoke gushed out from the crack of the door, Hughes frowned and covered his nose.

The smell was really indescribable. Hughes could smell it from a long distance away. The pungent smell produced by the mixture of various chemical reagents, mixed with the smell of metal rust, deeply irritated Hughes' throat and nose.

Hughes put on his mask and jumped off the Crimson Sakura.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The heavy door of the laboratory was pulled open by Hughes, and in an instant, billows of black smoke rushed towards Hughes' shop, Hughes blinked and quickly withdrew from above.

This kind of black smoke containing irritating chemical components made Hughes tear up.

No matter how injured or tired he was, Hughes never shed a single tear. He didn't expect that now that he was smoked, he couldn't stop crying.

Hughes withdrew tens of meters away from the gate and looked inside the gate, "Will Manxiu faint inside..."

It's already so outrageous outside the door, and the sky is not turned upside down inside. Hughes is a little worried about Manxiu.

"No! Isn't he a modified person?" Hughes suddenly realized that Manxiu is a modified person. He has no eyes and nose, but only a computer-like brain.

After a while, a dark and dark little man came out from holding the door while coughing.

"The power has been adjusted a little higher. The next time the conversion of the suction filter can be reduced by 0.03 units, it should be fine. No, the step-down frequency converter needs to be adjusted again."

Manxiu walked towards Hughes thoughtfully, but Hughes knew from his focused expression that he didn't see himself.

Hughes took a step back silently.

Manxiu was still bowing his head and reflecting on his mistakes during the experiment.

"You have to turn on the booster, otherwise you won't be able to adjust the [Etel] energy in the energy core, and there."

"Ouch!"

With a plop, Manxiu fell to the ground.

"What?" Manxiu rubbed his head with his small hands, and looked behind him.

"Why is there a gear here?"

Although Manxiu was a little puzzled, he didn't care too much. He walked up and moved the huge gear aside with great effort.

In this way, Manxiu still did not see Hughes.

Hughes rolled his eyes silently. Of course, that gear was not put by Hughes, but it already existed.

"Ah! Hughes! You are here too!"

Manxiu trotted to Hughes, "I just wanted to come to you!"

"I have already figured out the basic characteristics of [Etel] energy in the energy core! I only need to do a few more tests, and I will be able to fully understand the characteristics and structure of [Etel] energy in the energy core!"

"Really." Hughes glanced at the laboratory that was still emitting black smoke.

"That...that was just a mistake, a small mistake. Hehe." Manxiu scratched his head in embarrassment.

"By the way, Hughes, I have time now, I can help you modify your ship, I will go now!"

Manxiu was a little excited, and ran towards Hughes' boat with his calves running fast.

Then Hughes looked at Manxiu and ran back again.

"Hey, hey, I forgot to take something, the tool for modification."

Manxiu ran to his other laboratory, there was a sound of rummaging through boxes, and after a while, Manxiu came out in a small trailer.

Behind the trailer is a pile of instruments and tools.

Hughes didn't bother Manxiu. He walked outside the factory alone. There are still many places here that Hughes hasn't visited.

Walking outside, Hughes ran to the top of a minaret. The buildings in this country are all of the same type.

Even the factory where Manxiu lived had a steeple, and Hughes looked at the tall chimney that was constantly puffing out smoke in the distance.

These chimneys are the only structures where no steeple exists.

Click! ~

Hughes knew from the sharp sound of the gate being opened that Manshew hadn't been in and out of these chimney factories very often.

The chimney is in the shape of a huge circular platform as a whole. There are gates on all sides at the bottom of Yantai, but only the gate on the east side near the Manxiu factory can be opened.

The rest of the gates were sealed. The metal virus that broke out at the beginning said that everything here was transformed into a special metal, even steel was transformed.

The only door was cut open by Manxiu with a cutter.

A thick layer of dust has accumulated on the ground inside the smoke tower, and there are several car marks on the ground, which are Manxiu's modified car.

Booming vibrations were constantly coming from the smoke tower. In the center of the smoke tower was a huge machine, and the roar came from it.

There is no thick dust on this machine like the ground, only a thin layer, and the gray mist is blown out from this machine.

Hughes walked up the circular staircase on the outside. The stairs extended to the top of the smoke tower, and the machinery also led from the ground to the outside of the smoke tower.

Pushing open the door of the roof, Hughes came to the top of the smoke tower. There was a circle of bulges on the top of the smoke tower. A transparent barrier blocked the gray fog, and the gray fog was sprayed straight up.

The gray mist spread outward in mid-air, enveloping the Kanyate Kingdom.

"The energy of this barrier is very similar to the barrier outside the isolation zone."

Hughes pressed on the barrier and felt it for a while, but this barrier is relatively simple.

The energy composition inside is relatively simple, and the distribution is also very simple.

This level of barrier can be torn apart by Hughes.

Compared with this barrier, Hughes was more interested in the gray fog inside, "Is this the fog of confusion? It's really an appropriate name."

I still remember the first time I encountered this kind of fog, Hughes was disturbed by the gray fog.

Now Hughes has a little understanding of the general composition of these gray fogs. This kind of confused fog should contain a little [Etel] energy characteristics.

[Eitel] The energy is combined with the metal virus spreading in this country, and then mixed with a large amount of impurities, waste and dust.

The combination of these things resulted in the formation of a confused fog. This kind of confused fog can not only help the Kanyat Kingdom hide its tracks on the sea, but also deal with the heavy metal dust in the country.

The confusion at the beginning was just a by-product of [Etel] energy accidentally created by Kanyate in order to avoid communication with the outside world.

Now it has become a layer of protection for Kanyat, and it is the most important protection.

When Hughes returned to the smoke tower, the machine was still roaring, and a large amount of gray fog was sent out from the pipeline, forming the country's foggy layer.

There was no extra light in the smoke tower, only the indicator light on the machine. After visiting for a while, Hughes left.

The sky had gradually darkened, and the originally quiet street was even more terrifying at this time. There were a few figures standing on the side of the street. They were Kanyate residents who had turned into metal.

When the disaster struck, they still maintained the movements they had done before, and that scene was permanently preserved.
