Chapter 122: Craftsmanship Supercomputing Platform!
“Beep beep, unfamiliar Demon Race detected in the vicinity.”
“Danger level: three. Exterminate?”
Within the cave, Jiangxin’s voice echoed through the Demon Domain.
A Tier-Four Battle Puppet, its condition clearly different from the other puppets, was examining its surroundings with curiosity.
This tunnel was one of Chaotian Heavy Industries’ passages leading to the surface, roughly five meters wide and over a hundred meters deep.
The tunnel walls had been polished to an incomparable smoothness, carved with intricate Runes.
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
Sensing the movement from the outside world, several Flame Rats on the other side immediately started screeching, as if warning the puppet that had just been excavated.
“The Demon Race really is plentiful in this Demon Domain. A random dig and you run into a tribe of them.”
“Jiangxin, mobilize the puppets to exterminate them. Retrieve the corpses and demon cores.”
Lu Qingyang’s indifferent voice came from within that Tier-Four Puppet.
“Beep beep, acknowledged!”
Following Jiangxin’s response.
A squad of Tier-Four Battle Puppets instantly rushed out of the tunnel.
Under the Flame Rats’ expressions of utter terror, a fist was launched!
“Boom!”
In that instant, those few Flame Rats exploded, flesh and blood flying everywhere!
“Squeak squeak squeak!”
Seeing their own kind killed, a thousand Flame Rats suddenly surged out from within the tunnel.
These Flame Rats screamed madly, roaring as they charged at the Tier-Four Battle Puppets.
But the strongest among these Flame Rats were only Tier-Three.
How could they possibly match these instruments of battlefield slaughter?
“Crack crack crack!”
Numerous Tier-Four Battle Puppets crossed their arms, instantly decapitating nearly ten Flame Rats.
Before the swarm could even get close, the Spirit-Gathering Cannons on their shoulders had already risen, glowing with brilliant blue light.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
In an instant, blue meteors streaked through the dark tunnel, bombarding the dense swarm of Flame Rats.
Immediately, anguished cries rang out without end.
A moment later, not a single Flame Rat remained in the entire passage. All had been reduced to charred remains.
“Beep beep, extermination complete.”
“Beginning resource retrieval.”
With the obstacle dealt with, the Tier-Four Battle Puppets stood to the side on guard.
Production Puppets, each sprouting various mechanical arms, walked out in orderly fashion from the tunnel behind the drill.
They carried away the mutilated remains of the Flame Rats one by one.
Below the tunnel, a massive ore-metal platform stood erect.
On the platform’s surface, complex and profound patterns were engraved.
Wisps of pure spiritual qi seeped from the ground, merging into the platform.
This ore platform had been collected by Lu Qingyang under Jiangxin’s direction during the excavation process.
To ensure the recycling of the vein’s resources.
Beneath this ore platform, a massive furnace had already been built, converting discarded spirit ores into base materials to supply the platform’s construction.
And atop the platform, a puppet production line had already taken shape.
It likely wouldn’t be long before Chaotian Heavy Industries in the Demon Domain could produce puppets on its own.
Moreover, it could make adaptive improvements based on the Demon Domain’s terrain and environment, crafting puppets better suited to the Demon Domain.
“Jiangxin, what is the current construction progress of Chaotian Heavy Industries’ Demon Domain base?”
“Beep beep, current progress is at ten percent. Estimated completion in another ten years.”
“Mm. Increase the construction pace of the Bionic Puppet production line.”
“Strive to produce the first puppet Demon Race within twenty years.”
“Beep beep, acknowledged. Construction underway…”
The Chaotian Sect, the Underground Palace.
Lu Qingyang remotely commanded Chaotian Heavy Industries’ construction.
Before his eyes, a split-screen displayed a live feed of Chaotian Heavy Industries’ bustling construction.
“Heh, this construction site livestream is actually quite interesting.”
Watching the lively scene, a smile appeared on Lu Qingyang’s face.
Although most of the resources Chaotian Heavy Industries currently used were still brought over from the Chaotian Sect.
As Chaotian Heavy Industries expanded, self-sufficiency was only a matter of time.
After all, the Demon Race’s demon cores, even their essence blood, fur, and bone materials, could all serve as resource nutrients.
It was just a pity…
It’s just a pity that Jiangxin’s remote cross-domain control is too taxing. Even if the Bionic Puppet production line were completed now, it couldn’t be operated simultaneously.
Unless I halt Chaotian Heavy Industries’ basic construction…
A gleam flashed through Lu Qingyang’s brow.
For now, I have to get the Craftsmanship Supercomputing Platform out. Otherwise, it’ll affect progress too much.
With that thought, Lu Qingyang’s mind stirred.
A jade talisman appeared before him.
“Swoosh!”
With a wave of Lu Qingyang’s right hand, the jade talisman instantly projected a spell light.
Upon it, a design resembling a supercomputer from his past life surfaced in midair.
It was the blueprint for the Craftsmanship Supercomputing Platform!
No need to refine it this large. This is a cultivation world, after all. Artifacts that can change size are the true way.
Lu Qingyang looked at the Craftsmanship Supercomputing Platform blueprint, muttering to himself.
Then, his hands flew, and after a few breaths, he swiped and enlarged the spell light back and forth.
Stripping away some unknown components and scattered blueprint fragments.
He gradually revealed a Supercomputing Platform steeped in an immortal-cultivator style.
“Phew…”
When all this was done, Lu Qingyang let out a soft breath, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
“This will do.”
There, before his eyes, the image on the blueprint had transformed into a palm-sized cube.
On each face of the cube, numerous small squares were carved.
Each square was no larger than a thumb.
According to Lu Qingyang’s design, this cube would be Jiangxin’s true body.
Its surface was carved with one hundred and eight Spirit Artifact modules.
In other words, he needed to refine one hundred and eight Spirit Artifacts to embed upon it.
Then, with Jiangxin as the core, unifying and coordinating the artifacts’ intelligence, the Supercomputing Platform’s function would be achieved!
Now… all that’s left is the grind!
One hundred and eight Spirit Artifacts… phew… and the higher the tier, the better. This is going to keep me busy.
Lu Qingyang shook his head and announced his secluded cultivation to the outside world.
He was preparing to wholeheartedly become a grind emperor!
And the Chaotian Sect did not halt its development just because Lu Qingyang had entered seclusion.
As the Secret Realm operated routinely, the disciples’ enthusiasm for combat and cultivation reached a peak.
Especially the disciples with extraordinary talent and ferocious combat prowess, who were even more spirited.
And the Chaotian Sect rapidly grew stronger amidst this frenzy of cultivation and combat.
Batch after batch of new disciples were brought back from the Seven Stars Sea Region.
These included natives of the Seven Stars Sea Region, as well as mortal commoners who had migrated from the southeastern coast.
All new disciples, after undergoing the illusion Simulation, would be accepted into the sect if qualified.
Those unqualified were sent back the way they came.
And nearly all who were accepted into the sect felt gratitude toward the Chaotian Sect.
Because of this, in just a few short years, the Chaotian Sect’s disciple population reached the hundred-thousand mark, and the sect’s unity was unstoppable!
It became a force that could not be ignored in the Seven Stars Sea Region.
Of course, part of the reason was Lu Qingyang’s status as an Elder of the Sect Management Council.
Combined with the Seven Stars Sea Region’s leading power, the Seven Stars Pavilion, giving the Chaotian Sect special treatment.
So the Chaotian Sect’s position in the Seven Stars Sea Region grew increasingly solid.
However, the vast Seven Stars Sea Region did not have only the Chaotian Sect developing at breakneck speed.
Somewhere in the Seven Stars Sea Region, a cultivator nation called the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty was rising at an astonishing pace…
