401: You actually said this place is backward?!

"Wow!!!" everyone shouted again, their eyes full of little stars.

Tianbao snapped out of it and said in shock, "You mean the entire base is one large Formation? Can such a massive Formation exist?"

"Yes! The entire base, along with every line extending from it, is covered within a large Formation. This Formation can operate as a whole or in modules, just like this train is one of those modules! Furthermore, this large Formation has already achieved preliminary intelligent management, meaning its operation requires no manual labor and is instead automatically controlled by an intelligent System! As the database continues to improve, our intelligent System might evolve into an intelligent lifeform in the future!" Long Yuan said proudly.

"Intelligent lifeform?!" Tianbao and the others were dazed... The train started quickly and extremely smoothly. Tianbao and the others didn't even feel a slight vibration, but they did feel a backward thrust. This thrust was quite significant for them, showing that the train's speed was extremely fast, with inertia pressing them firmly against the seat backs... After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Tianbao and the others felt the pressure on them slowly ease until it completely disappeared, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief... "The train has arrived at the station. Passengers, please take your luggage and prepare to disembark!" a prompt voice said.

Long Yuan and Zhu Nan stood up first, and Tianbao and the others quickly followed. As the doors opened automatically, everyone walked out, and what met their eyes was another incredibly vast space, brightly lit, with various novel facilities that were dazzling. Tianbao and the others felt like they couldn't take it all in... Not far away, three figures approached. Leading them was Zhu Huan, followed by Duan Hu and another young man, who was handsome. They were all wearing sci-fi style uniforms with confident looks on their faces.

"Young Lord! You've finally arrived!" Zhu Huan said excitedly.

Duan Hu and the handsome man were also excited but didn't speak... "General Huan! Thank you for your hard work!" Long Yuan saluted.

"It's no trouble at all! The Young Lord's travels are what's truly exhausting!" Zhu Huan said quickly.

Long Yuan waved his hand and smiled, "Let's all work hard together! By the way, this is Young Master Tianbao, the Buddha Son of Fahua Temple, and these twelve children are all immortal seedlings. Let's take them on a tour of the base first!"

"Young Lord, please follow us!"

Zhu Huan led everyone out and boarded an open-top electric car. There was no one driving the car; instead, it started directly after an intelligent voice reminded everyone to sit tight. This scene left Tianbao and the others a bit bewildered. How could this car drive itself?!

After a while, the car arrived at an entrance, which popped open automatically. The car drove in, and the door behind it closed automatically... "Passengers, please note that the elevator will begin its descent!" a prompt voice sounded, followed by faint background music that was very soothing... Sure enough, they felt the car descending rapidly. Everyone felt weightless, as if they were about to fly. Many had never experienced this kind of centrifugal upward force before... Just as everyone was still immersed in this magical feeling, the elevator slowly decelerated until it stopped!

"Attention! The elevator doors will open, and the flying car will continue to descend!" the prompt voice said.

With a "ding," the elevator door on one side opened as expected, and the car "whooshed" out, appearing amidst a layer of clouds!

"Oh my god!!!" Tianbao and the others cried out in alarm. They hadn't expected the car to be floating, gliding, and flying through the sky, weaving between the clouds... Looking up, there was a dazzling sun casting warm sunlight... "Wait, this sun... it doesn't seem to be the sun from outside..." Tianbao was the first to react, speaking suspiciously.

Long Yuan said appreciatively, "Your spiritual perception is indeed extraordinary! As for this sun, it's actually an Artificial Sun we built ourselves. With this sun, although our base is deep underground, we can live the same life as the outside world. Moreover, at night, it will change into a bright moon. They can both provide a massive amount of energy for the base!"

"What?!!!" Tianbao and all the Young Attendants were stunned!

"There's actually an Artificial Sun and an artificial moon?"

"Is this really possible?"

"If it weren't possible, why would this sun be right above our heads?"

"I want to know how our base actually managed to create a sun and a moon..." one Young Attendant said with great interest.

Long Yuan heard this and smiled, "Sure, you can ask our tech team later. By the way, this handsome young man, Qian Xiaosen, is the chief designer of our tech team. He and a group of people built the Artificial Sun and moon!"

Tianbao and the others looked in the direction Long Yuan pointed and found that Qian Xiaosen was one of the two young men who had come with Zhu Huan, the very handsome one.

The Young Attendants immediately became excited and began asking Qian Xiaosen all sorts of questions... Seeing this, Duan Hu, who was standing to the side, was filled with envy. There was nothing he could do; compared to Qian Xiaosen, he was simply nothing. If he weren't Long Yuan's confidant, he probably wouldn't even have had the chance to welcome Long Yuan... However, he was also working hard to catch up. Since Long Yuan had implanted a Yu Mu Chip in him last time, his knowledge had been growing by leaps and bounds, and he could already lead a small research team to develop some eye-catching gadgets... Qian Xiaosen patiently explained the questions raised by Tianbao and the Young Attendants, but what made his head throb was that their questions were endless. Moreover, for a researcher of his level, these questions were a bit too elementary and a complete waste of time. But with Long Yuan present, he couldn't easily push them away. Fortunately, a phone ringtone interrupted the scene. He waved to everyone and then casually swiped open a light screen, upon which a figure appeared. It looked like a middle-aged version of Qian Xiaosen. Long Yuan recognized him immediately as Qian Li, the director of the Cloud Department of Tiangong Group, and he already knew that Qian Xiaosen was actually Qian Li's youngest son... Qian Li looked at Qian Xiaosen suspiciously and asked, "You brat, where are you? Are you on a plane? Why are there clouds all around you?"

Qian Xiaosen replied, "Just doing an aerial experiment. If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

"You?! How much longer are you going to keep playing around outside? Don't you know you're wasting time? Get over to Tiangong Group immediately!" Qian Li scolded.

"What's so fun about Tiangong Group? You guys are too backward. Going there would be of no benefit to me at all!" Qian Xiaosen snorted.

"Backward? The most advanced technology in Da Ming is right here, and you actually say this place is backward?!" Qian Li said angrily...
