Chapter 494: 494
Tool Man Perpetual Movement System
“I really can’t explain it now.”
The sky was already dark, and the area around the sealed cave in the forest was brightly lit.
Eight 3,500-Watt lamps illuminated the area of thousands of square meters, and even the charred wood patterns on the ground could be seen clearly. These lamps were often used for large-scale illumination during construction at night. Their long-lasting and bright light crushed all magic lamps and mage illumination spells.
After all, magic lamps were a luxury for spellcasters and dignitaries because of their precious materials and relatively complicated craftsmanship. As for illumination spells, even long-lasting illumination spells had a time limit. Moreover, in order to maintain a long-lasting and stable light, the spellcaster had to constantly maintain and adjust it.
Therefore, the need for large-scale nighttime illumination in the other world still required fire.
Not to mention commoners, it was already good enough to use oil lamps.
Therefore, the hanging lamps that Kant had displayed were completely black technology in the eyes of the Spell Casters. They shone brightly and had long-lasting effects. They did not even need to change their Magic Stones for hours.
It wasn’t that they weren’t curious about the principles behind the alchemy tools, but it was taboo to casually probe the principles behind the alchemy tools and tools. Furthermore, the other party was Kant. Not only could he make such a cool alchemy weapon, but he could also cast forbidden spells. Who would dare to violate the intellectual property rights of such a person?
What shocked them was yet to come.
In just a few hours, a steel fortress had been erected in this area.
The lights reflected the cold light on the cold steel. The oddly-shaped tower was completed in less than three hours. From afar, they could see Prince Kant flying around in his gorgeous steel suit. His hands occasionally shot out blue flames. The steel plates, steel beams, and stone materials that were flat and embedded with steel bars were firmly connected and raised.
Its efficiency far exceeded Goethe’s National Civil Engineering Corps.
After all, even if the architects of the engineering corps had solid theoretical knowledge and were proficient in earth magic, they could not conjure a large number of materials out of thin air, nor could they randomly stack the building materials without collapsing.
The former was obviously more terrifying.
Even though they had no idea what Kant was up to, the top figures of the Lucerne Law School were all shocked by what they saw.
This was especially true for the officials sent by Green Wave Province to assist.
The Blue Wave Province was located on the west coast of Goethe. It was separated from Valentan on the eastern border by Goethe. It was also very far away from Lucerne. The officials and nobles here had only heard of Kant’s legend. They also knew that the war was won because of him. It was said that alchemical weapons were unrivaled in the world, and forbidden spells were intimidating in the world. They had never seen it with their own eyes. They still had some instinctive doubts and disbelief in their hearts.
Then, he saw with his own eyes that Kant had built a steel fortress in a matter of hours, with the amount of steel that was equivalent to a week’s worth of steel production capacity in the entire Blue Wave Province.
The official bit his finger and witnessed everything.
He was sure that the steel was not taken from Goethe’s treasury, because the piles of steel plates were stacked vertically and horizontally, forming a mountain. They were of the same specifications, length, width, and height. This meant that the purpose of the steel was determined when it was forged. Even the elves would not be so extravagant.
Father, they’re probably starting to suspect that you’ve got the Philosopher’s Stone.”
Kant, who was hovering in the air and looking down, heard Horus ‘whisper.
Kant shrugged.” Just think about it. By the way, once the development of Zhuerban begins, we can get the steel from all the countries for free. When the time comes, we can sell the steel to all the countries and let them forge swords, spears, halberds, armors, and helmets. The production of steel is an eternal fighting force.”
“So you’re going to start selling guns after all the countries have finished changing their equipment?” asked Iron Son.
“Alright, you’ve grown up.” Kant nodded and said,” And we have to start selling muzzles.”
“..”
This was something Horus had not expected.
” I’ll sell the technical principles and gunpowder formula to them after I’ve made a good profit,” Kant continued.
“..”
“And then sell rifled rifles.”
“..”
There was still a long way to go.
Kant took out his phone from the storage module at the side of his battle suit. He opened the video that he had saved on his phone and nodded.” This place is finally built. There are three layers of reinforcement on the inside and three layers on the outside. Lily can seal the outermost layer. It’s very good. Next, we’ll…”
Horus adjusted his mood and said excitedly,”Two belts! An ammunition depot!”
” You seem very excited?” Kant’s tone became subtle.
“Of course!” Horus immediately replied. I’m excited to be able to fight alongside my father!”
.. Pick.
Kant knew exactly what this fellow was happy about.
F * ck, I’m so unhappy.
Around midnight, the monster grinding tower was officially completed.
Complete sealing.
All the internal structures were tightly stacked with three layers of steel plates and reinforced concrete. The steel plates were enchanted and reinforced, and Lily added a layer of seal on the outside.
As firm as a rock.
Kant met up with Stella after he left the tower and instructed her to be on guard. He then went to check on his subordinates. Under Hong San’s lead, the anti-aircraft cannon array and machine gun array had been deployed. They had formed a cross-formation outside the monster grinding tower. Even if a monster really rushed out, it would be a dead end.
Then, he brought Ah Xing and Long Niang into the fortress.
Seal the door.
The interior was brightly lit, and there was an awe-inspiring smell of steel.
Lily looked around. She could hear a strange rumble and the ground was shaking. Everything here was strange and mysterious. Strange devices, strange flashes, strange mechanical structures.
She turned to Kant.” Your plan is to build a steel fortress to stop the monsters from charging out?” You might as well sell these steel to the Dragon Island Defense. The money you get from selling them can be used to hire dragon fighters to do this kind of thing. The price-performance ratio is definitely much better than building a steel house.”
What a wastrel.
Kant shook his head. Forget it, you’ll know when the time comes.”
” Up to you.” Madame Long shrugged.” So, we’re going to open the seal, block the entrance, and kill them all to reduce the number of monsters?”
In Lily’s opinion, Kant’s plan should be to build an indestructible steel fortress to stop the monsters from rushing to the outside world. Then, he would open the seal and allow the monsters to rush out from the underground. Then, he would turn the area into a bloody colosseum where everyone could kill to their heart’s content. What a mess.
She glanced at Ah Xing and said to Kant,” After you open the seal, you can use your spatial ability to go outside. We’ll be fine here. It’s not easy for you to use your alchemy weapon in this place.”
Kant raised a finger at her.
“What?” Lily frowned.
” Let me tell you something, Lily. I’m not the kind of leader who makes suicidal plans and lets his teammates fight in front of him. I prefer safety, efficiency, and speed.”
Kant smiled and said to her,” The first line of defense to prevent the monsters from escaping is my weapon. The second line is the internal defense structure. The third line is yours. Your mission is to kill the fish that slip out accidentally. The outer layer of the fortress is the fourth line. The green-skinned spearmen are the fifth line. The Investigation Corps led by Stella is the sixth line. Do you understand?”
He moved his limbs and walked to the side.” In my plan, the security line starting from you guys is a safety measure just in case. This is my style of doing things.”
Kant then stood still. Long Niang realized that there were two long black ribbons made of strange materials in front of and behind him. They were supported by strange structures and tools made of steel. Both ends extended to places she could not see. She had no idea where they led to.
” What?” Kant asked.” Do you see the shadow under your feet?” Follow the direction of the arrow to unlock the seal. Then, follow the direction of the arrow and leave. There will be a notification sound.”
“Greetings, Miss Wen Ai.” Horus ‘voice sounded from the loudspeaker.
“..”
F * ck.
Lily was surprised at first, then pointed at herself. What does that mean? It seems to be in the language of Aurora. What does it mean?”
Her pronunciation was rather accurate. Kant did not dare to lie to her and say that it meant a dragon in the language of the State of Aurora. He was afraid that she would expose herself if she went to find someone to verify it. Hence, he said seriously,” In the language of the State of Aurora, the first word means literature. The second word means passion. Wen ‘ai means that you have a passion for literary works. Yes, everyone who likes to read novels can call it Wen’ ai…”
Kant glanced coldly at the camera.
Perhaps sensing the threat, Horus did not play any more tricks. Long Niang followed the projected light arrow on the ground and arrived at the entrance of the cave where the seal was located. She realized that this place had been suppressed by a thick layer of steel and stone, leaving only two exits, one big and one small.
She had entered through a small passageway.
” Ma ‘am, after you undo the seal, please return to your original path immediately. Be quick.” Horus said in a serious tone,” This is very important. Please be quick.”
“Got it,” said Long Niang indifferently.
She walked towards the strengthened seal and looked around.
“Please.”
Lily took a deep breath, and her mind was instantly empty. Her calm mind was swept up by a cold touch, from the inside out, sweeping through her body and mind, extending to her hands and feet.
She slowly raised her hand. Her delicate little fist was exquisite and cute, but it was trembling slightly at this moment because the accumulated dragon power was almost uncontrollable.
Then, she threw a punch as fast as lightning.
The air was still, and time was eternal, as if nothing had changed.
Long Niang turned around and left. Her figure was like lightning as she ran along the path she came from.
“Is that enough?”A shocked voice sounded in the air.
” It’s broken,” Lily said without looking back.
In the next moment, she heard a dull ” oh “, followed by a series of explosions. Behind her, the sound of the iron gates falling continuously could be heard. Long Niang turned around and saw the iron plates falling continuously behind her, sealing the entrance.
She flew back to the hall along the path she came from and saw that Kant was already fully dressed.
Long Niang recognized that it was the protective suit recommended by the Arcane Magic Council’s Life Department to defend against all kinds of mutations, curses, corruption, and corrosion.
Then, the iron gate structure fell continuously, isolating him from the two transmission belts.
Through a piece of glass, she saw Kant making a gesture at her.
It was a gesture where his thumb and index finger were bent into a circle while his remaining three fingers were spread open. She did not know what that meant, but she knew what Kant meant.
Long Niang smiled and looked at Ah Xing, who was standing at the side. She followed the instructions and stood in another place.
It seemed that this generation of Fire Stealers was indeed different from the previous generation.
Kant took a deep breath.
“The seal is broken!”
” Yes!” Horus ‘voice rang in his ear.” The Tool System has finally been repaired. It is now officially turned on!”
“F * ck you!” Kant shouted.
Immediately after, his voice was drowned out by the incessant gunfire.
A series of explosions, lightning and thunder shook the earth.
The people who were on guard outside did not know what was going on. The details of the mysterious energy were well kept secret, but the cave and the mutation were not kept a secret, and there was no way to keep it a secret. The spellcasters and soldiers only knew that the area had been eroded and mutated, and His Highness Kant was taking it in.
They saw a violent rumble coming from the steel fortress that had been erected in the past few hours. Glinting light and sulfurous smoke spread out from it. It was the sound of His Highness Kant’s battle.
“It must be very intense.”
Military officers, mages, nobles, soldiers…The Sentinels, who were listening to the roar and paying attention to everything, were silently worried and praying.
No matter what, when something dangerous happened, the first person to stand at the front and resist everything would always be respected by everyone.
They could only pray gratefully that His Highness Kant’s battle would go smoothly.
But what they did not know was that His Highness Kant was not fighting.
At least not on the front lines.
The dragon seal was lifted, and the light that shone through the hole quickly attracted the attention of the nameless monsters. A few minutes later, the sound of sharp claws scratching the rock wall rumbled.
A huge number of monsters leaped out one after another. They sniffed, listened, and explored. The fragrance of flesh and blood, the direction of the breeze, the feedback of claws, and the impenetrable solid walls around them. Only one direction was filled with a delicious smell. They roared and were excited at the same time. They rushed forward along a slanted passage, hunting, biting, digesting, and reproducing!
After galloping for dozens of meters, the first monster stepped on the air and fell down.
It swung its claws in the air, trying to grab something, trying to change its posture to deal with the impact. Then, it saw the flash of death. On the side wall of the barn-like cylinder, there were heavy machine guns deployed. From bottom to top, from top to bottom, the blazing net of firepower was like a sharp sword of light, cutting the monsters who failed to brake in time and missed their steps. Blood sprayed into the sky.
The remains of the monsters fell to the ground one after another.
On the floor of the slaughter room was a fan-shaped surface that protruded from the center. At this moment, it began to slowly rotate, throwing the flesh and blood of the monsters to the edge.
At the edge of the mine, there was a sweeping blade that blocked the monster corpses that were turning around until they piled up. The side door opened and the pile of corpses fell into the mine cart.
The mine cart rumbled along the transportation track.
Along the way, spikes kept falling down. Later, there were even electric saws and impact drills to confirm that all the monsters were dead. After a series of processes such as disinfection, scanning, filtering, and packing, a basket of fresh monster materials was finally sent to Kant, who was fully armed, along the conveyor belt.
Uncle Kang expressionlessly reached out his hand and pressed on the outside of the teleportation box.
Fire Stealer’s Power was activated.
Extracting, obliterating flesh and blood, extracting mysterious elements.
Then, he turned around expressionlessly.
The box of ammo was teleported to his side, waiting to be enchanted and strengthened.
“..”
[Am I in Foxconn, you bastard!]
The ammunition that had been enchanted by the mysterious elements was sent to the main building of the monster grinding tower along the conveyor belt. Horus, who was in tower defense mode, controlled the arm of force and sent it to various places. Other than that, the replacement barrels, steel plates, and other parts were also sent to him and Kant continuously for enchantment and strengthening.
The Transformers controlled this huge weapon system and continuously killed the brainless monsters that rushed out of the hole. This kind of shooting game was really exciting.
He was indeed excited.
This feeling of fighting alongside his father was so satisfying!
Using the ammo enchanted with the mysterious element to kill the monster, then extracting the ammo enchanted with the mysterious element from the monster’s corpse. This cycle was the true essence of the Tool Man Perpetual Movement System.
The best part was that this system was designed by his father himself.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Horus and the machine spirit were overjoyed.
Bullets filled the sky, and the trail of light flashed. The interwoven firepower network was endless. The enhanced ammunition system’s lethality had doubled. Dealing with these monsters became more and more convenient. The father and son cooperated seamlessly.
Lily witnessed everything silently.
She could hear the incessant rumbling. It was the sound of Kant’s alchemical weapon.
There were also the painful roars and wails of the monsters being torn apart.
Obviously, a continuous massacre was taking place in the place separated by the thick steel wall. The underground cave that the three of them had sealed with great difficulty was now completely open. The huge number of extremely troublesome monsters had been reduced to boxes of flesh and blood, and they were sent to the Fire Stealer.
It was extracted by his power.
Long Niang looked at Kant in the partition. The Fire Stealer was fully armed and his head was covered. He was busy with the flesh and blood that was constantly being sent over.
He was like a sausage chef in a butcher shop.
She couldn’t see the other party’s expression. She could only see the other party’s eyes through the protective chip.
But Long Niang was best at reading eyes.
However, in such an occasion, she would not be able to use her skills.
Because it was obvious that everyone could see the Fire Stealer roll his eyes.
His eyes were filled with joy.
Even she herself did not notice that the corners of Long Niang’s mouth curled into a gentle smile. That smile was natural and pure, completely different from the fake smile, cold smile, lewd smile, and strange smile from before.
The Fire Stealers of this generation were really different.
