The Tower of Babel Hotel is the tallest building in the Dawning Collar, with a total height of more than 400 meters, including the lightning rod on the upper floor. It is located in the center of Shuguang, which is more than 20 floors higher than the second-tallest Shuguang Bank Building, nearly 100 meters.

The banquet hall where Fang Qiuling and the two junior lieutenants are at the moment is the super super super super VIP banquet hall on the top floor of the hotel, and the reception specifications belong to the state banquet level. N super VIP rooms occupy the highest three floors of the hotel building. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the banquet hall, you can not only overlook the entire city of Aurora, but also take in the gorgeous island scenery of Aurora Ling.

In the old days, whether it was looking down on the city of Dawn or the gorgeous island scenery, it was enough to make people forget to return. But now the three people gathered by the window not only turned a blind eye to the view in front of them, but also expressed full indignation at the fact that the hotel had been built so high.

“…… Take the back window? ”

"Yes, go through the window!"

The twins crawled back through the breach in the gate, and by the way, they also grabbed Fang Qiuling and dragged them back together.

- It's our bad luck to meet this commander who has no common sense!

The Deputy Commander from another world was completely unaware of the irreversible damage to the human body caused by the high concentration of ether, so he was careless from the beginning. His carelessness also affected the two "common senses", and the twins became unhurried.

However, all composure was broken after seeing two large "gas canisters". Not only did her sister Yuna's serious face become more solemn, but the smile that her sister Yuya had been hanging on her face was also gone.

While it is impossible to fully explain what the ether is, it does not prevent the people of Teldaheim from exploiting and using it. The other characteristics of the ether are ignored first, and if you only look at it from an energy point of view, the ether is quite good. Whether it is storage, collection or use, the efficiency is quite excellent. Much better than traditional fossil fuels. However, when using ether as an energy source, there are still relevant safety manuals.

For example, storage of Ether is usually done in a compressed storage format. The principle is very similar to that of gases. Therefore, the storage of ether storage tanks is usually high concentration of ether, which is thousands to tens of thousands of times the normal tolerable value of the human body. Once the human body is exposed to thousands of times the aetheric current, the body will mutate in a short period of time.

It is widely believed that exposure to high concentrations of ether leads to rapid aging of the body's cells. In other words, the mutation can cause irreversible and serious damage to the body, causing extremely severe Progeria, which in turn leads to low body functions and a significant reduction in life expectancy.

However, in the process of mutation, mutants are often stimulated to their potential. Mutants who don't have abilities awaken their abilities. Mutants who already have abilities will have their abilities greatly enhanced. Of course, there's a very low chance that the mutant's abilities will be gone......

There are many researchers who have studied aether mutations, the most famous of which is Dr. Carl Faradino Mittel. This doctor was the first researcher to put forward the theory of "benign and inferior variation", and initially established the criteria for distinguishing "benign variation" and "inferior variation".

- Benign Mutation: Cells whose activity decreases by no more than 30 percent, and their abilities gain or increase their ability level by one level.

- Inferior Mutation: Cell activity is reduced by no more than 50%, and no ability is obtained, or the ability level is increased by less than two energy levels.

Therefore, the phenomenon of mutation due to exposure to high concentrations of ether is also called "Mittel phenomenon". The Mittel phenomenon is not only reflected in the activity and abilities of cells, but also in the "alienation" of the body.

For example, they have extremely thick hairs all over their bodies, like "hairy people". For example, some parts of the body are made gigantic or smaller, and they become all kinds of monsters with uncoordinated sizes. For example, unsightly sarcomas grow on the body......

Of course, there are also more eye-catching "alienations". For example, there are hairy animal ears on the top of the head, or a hairy tail on the buttocks, and so on. For example, an arm grows from the back, a four-armed vajra or a multi-armed vajra. Another example is the possibility of growing wings like angels......

But even if it is an eye-catching alienation, the twins also say "thank you". They will not only express their gratitude to the person who set up the Ether storage tank, but also very earnestly "thank you for the family"!

- People are still beautiful girls in the flower season, so don't become monsters!

Normal people grow tentacles or something, it's a monster! Grow beast ears, tails, or monsters! Even if it grows angelic wings, it's still a monster!

That's right, Terdaheim's universal view is that Mittel is a kind of "pollution", a physical condition that occurs when the body is burned by the ether, and needs to be avoided as much as possible. Even if an alienated person gains a powerful ability, he is still a monster, with both sympathy and contempt. It is no less threatening than chemical and biological weapons, and ranks a little lower than the ink dust pollution caused by collapsing bombs.

Ordinary people may just know that they must run immediately when they encounter an aether leak, otherwise their body's resistance will decrease and they will easily get sick. But as military personnel, the twins know all too well what happens when exposed to high concentrations of ether!

At first, when they heard Fang Qiuling say that the concentration of ether around them had risen, they were skeptical. It's just that because I saw that the hotel closed the door inexplicably on weekdays, I subconsciously felt that something was wrong. The deputy commander proposed to smash the door and sabotage, so smash it and do it.

And when the two ether energy storage tanks came into view, the twins suddenly became nervous.

Fang Qiuling had never seen the ether energy storage tank, but he could sense the "high-energy" reaction in the two large iron cans, so he could roughly know what it was. But he only knew what it was, what dangers and dangers it would be, and he had no idea at all.

The deputy commander who has no common sense has no idea, but the twins do!

What should I do if I encounter an aether source? Whether it is the "Assault Aircraft Safety Operation Manual", or the "Floating Ship Engine Safety Management Manual", or the commonly used "Specifications for the Use of Individual Weapons", as well as the "Sarodi Infantry Drill Code" and "Stephen Defense Guidance Code Code", the military manuals and drill codes that every officer must be familiar with have very clear guidance on high-concentration aether environments.

The content of the guidance is very large, and the rules and regulations add up to hundreds of pages. It lists various countermeasures and means of protection. However, if the relevant countermeasures and protective measures are summarized, then it will be found that the content of all the drill codes and safety manuals can actually be summarized simply and clearly into two points: first, put on protective clothing as soon as possible; 2. Then stay away as much as you can!

As for what to do with the source of ether pollution...... Of course, it is to wait for it to diverge naturally, or to leave it to the "professionals".

The aether is emitted very quickly, and in an open environment, no matter how high the concentration is, it will usually be dispersed within 24 hours. If you are on the safe side, you will basically be fine if you wait for forty-eight hours. If it happens in a confined place such as a floating ship or basement, it is necessary to wear a special protective suit and activate the self-circulation system connected to the exhaust system.

The self-circulation system is actually an aether collection device, and the aether leaked from the aether pollution source is collected back. As a top-notch high-end hotel, the Tower of Babel also has a self-circulation system, but ...... It must have been turned off now, or simply broken.

When my sister Yuna walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, she felt her feet tremble: "Can you not go through the window!" Here, here, I'm dizzy! ”

Sister Youya smashed her fist on the floor-to-ceiling window, and the window glass made a "bang" sound, but it didn't break: "Sister, I didn't expect you to have a fear of heights?" ”

"It's not a problem of fear of heights." Fang Qiuling held the high-frequency cutter in the shape of a straight knife and gestured on the floor-to-ceiling window, wanting to start, but didn't start, "It's so high...... Most of the people who jump off are dead! ”

"Yuya, this is the Tower of Babel, there should be a self-circulation system, right?"

"Yes! I've just found it. But...... Sister, you should understand. ”

"It must be broken, right?"

Sister Yuna's voice trembled slightly.

"No, it's not bad when it's bad, it's just that the terminal that controls the self-circulation system is in the main control room of the banquet. The main control room is now ......"

"Does that mean you still open the window and jump down?" Fang Qiuling was really thinking about how to jump to land safely, "Do you want me to cut open the floor-to-ceiling window first?" ”

"No, don't!"

The twins refused in unison, and Fang Qiuling had no choice but to put down the straight knife in his hand first.

"Those two big jars...... Can you turn it off, or stop it? ”

Sister Yuya immediately shook her head: "Lord Norn, you probably didn't notice that there is a yellow trademark-like thing on the front of the jar. ”

“…… A little impressed. What's wrong? ”

"That's a bomb! Remote-controlled bombs made of plastic explosives! ”

"Ahh

When it comes to plastic explosives, Fang Qiuling's first thought is the famous C4 explosives. The C4 plastic explosives are shaped like raw dough used to bake bread and can be kneaded at will to create a variety of shapes. Although it is powerful, it is very safe to use, and even if you shoot directly at the explosives, it will not explode, and can only be detonated with a detonator. Feel free to use glue and tape to fix it, which is very convenient.

"The mastermind behind the scenes must be watching us by some means, as long as we get closer. It's definitely going to be a 'boom'. Sister Yuya looked around, and soon pointed beyond the inconspicuous place on the ceiling, "There's a hidden camera there!" And that, that! ”

Sister Yuna also added: "It's a small thing to be bombed. But the energy storage tank exploded, and all the aether inside gushed out at once, and it was not surprising that it died directly because the aether concentration was too high! ”

The corners of Fang Qiuling's mouth twitched, and his thoughts were simple and direct: "Then go around and walk against the wall." Even if the first few doors can be bulletproof and explosion-proof, they can be cut open directly! ”

"Lord Norn, it's still you!" Sister Yuya gave a thumbs up without hesitation, "But have you ever thought about what to do with the detonating bomb that the mastermind behind the scenes directly 'bombed' when you cut the door?" ”

"Uh...... Is that okay? ”

Sister Yuya rolled her eyes, so angry: "What do you think? They're going to kill the three of us! ”

"Doesn't that mean that they can also directly detonate and kill us now?"

Sister Youya was stunned for a moment, and then nodded violently: "...... Reasonable! ”

"...... here," Fang Qiuling gestured, "How tall?" ”

"Four hundred meters? Or four hundred and twenty meters? ”

Four hundred and twenty meters, this height is about the same height as the Jin Mao Tower in the magic capital. As a native of the magic capital, Jin Mao Tower has never been up, but how tall is Jin Mao Tower...... The natives of the Demon Capital couldn't be clearer!

Fang Qiuling looked at the Dawning Bank Building surrounded by clouds and mist across through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and then looked at his feet. The scenery has not changed, but when I saw it before, it was magnificent, but now the magnificence is completely gone, and only the heart is beating. Especially when I think about jumping straight down, my heart beats like a drum!

Seeing Fang Qiuling looking down, the twins shuddered in unison, and the pictures that came to their minds were not very good.

"Chief Norn, you don't want to jump straight down, do you?" Sister Yuna grabbed Fang Qiuling's left arm, "Our idea just now is to smash open the window and climb down the outside of ......the window little by little."

The Tower of Babel Hotel is generally wide at the top and narrow at the top, and looks like a rotating tower. It is said that the design scheme is from the base of the stratosphere rail elevator, and it was built to verify the stability of the ground base station of the stratosphere rail elevator. So theoretically, it is possible to climb down the outer wall little by little.

As for jumping straight down...... Normal people don't have such thoughts!

Sister Yuya grabbed Fang Qiuling's right arm: "Lord Norn, you can't think about it!" This height ...... Even if there is a strong attack machine, the chance of jumping down and surviving is not great! Unless it's a ...... with flight function"

- Flight function?

Sister Youya's words made the dim light bulb in Fang Qiuling's mind light up suddenly, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself and spit out a word: "Flying ......"

- Fly.

Flying with technology requires a lot of equipment. Single-person flight equipment is quite mature in Terdaheim, such as the Eugtrasil personal weapon system designed by Zhang Dongchen. If you have such a set of flying equipment at hand now, then the trouble will be solved immediately.

Of course, the Eugtrasil personal weapon system is now Lin Xiaomiao's favorite, and Fang Qiuling definitely won't have it at hand. However, as a bard on the "magic side", there are many ways to fly in a magical way. The most common ...... Flying is undoubtedly the art of flying.
