As the elevator platform continued to accelerate, an Energy Barrier rose from below and enveloped the entire platform.
The elevator platform's falling speed continued to increase.
The Gravity Regulation Device constantly adjusted itself dynamically, ensuring that nothing on the platform broke away due to the acceleration.
By then, its falling speed had already exceeded several times the speed of sound.
Thanks to the powerful gravity regulation, the Gaze-Renders controlled by Iax were pressed firmly against the platform as it plunged steadily downward, without even needing magnetic attraction devices.
Once the depth exceeded two thousand kilometers, the gravity system began adjusting in the opposite direction.
Everything on the platform gradually began to slow down.
The Electromagnetic Rails used for acceleration gradually increased their voltage and reversed their operation, simultaneously ensuring that the cargo did not break away from the platform.
Once the transport platform's speed dropped into the appropriate range, the Energy Barrier vanished instantly.
The enormous transport platform's absolute velocity reached precisely zero as it settled into the ground.
It was as though someone had carefully lowered the enormous mechanical apparatus into a recess.
Meanwhile, the acceleration loads on everything atop the platform remained extremely low throughout.
Iax controlled the elevator platform and took it straight to the deepest transfer level.
As long as Iax found the Control Intelligence, all the information about this place would immediately become available. Searching level by level was simply too inefficient to suit the habits of the Men of Iron.
Yet the transfer level was still unimaginably vast.
A joint scan conducted by Gaze-Renders descending through other passages confirmed that the surrounding space was an enormous ring-shaped interlayer.
It was only five hundred meters high, but its total area exceeded three hundred million square kilometers.
That was more than twice Earth's area at the
