Chapter 1678: New Era
The equipment within the skyscraper deteriorated further with each use.
Sein felt no regret over this. In fact, he preferred that the avatar no longer wield any truly effective power.
That way, they would be much safer.
After making the necessary arrangements to deal with Bond and the others, the avatar led Sein’s group upward.
From that point on, they no longer had to struggle through unfamiliar passages or search blindly for a route.
The upper levels of the building were the best preserved. Wherever Sein and the others wished to go, the avatar could guide them there directly.
As they moved through the higher levels, Sein noticed the inert crystal ore veins were still stretching endlessly upward.
Unlike Grethel, Gilbert, and the others, who had been exploring through trial and error with little sense of direction, Sein decided to ask the avatar directly about the origin of these crystal veins.
“You call them inert crystalveins?” the avatar asked. “In my database, this mineral is classified as BF ore.”
“The emergence of these BF minerals likely exceeded even Dr. Charles Isaac’s expectations. Within the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization, they were exceptionally rare and extremely difficult to extract.
“The reason they now appear so extensively across our bases and laboratories is that they used to be energy crystals produced by our Infinite Energy devices. After tens of millions of years of sedimentation and geological compression, they gradually transformed into their current form,” the avatar explained.
In other words, the number of inert crystal veins discovered by Sein and the other Magus Civilization explorers directly corresponded to the volume of reserve energy crystals once stockpiled by the Eiyurant Papillon Civilization.
