Chapter 419: Chapter 387 Speed of LightThe meeting concluded amidst a heavy atmosphere, with each faction returning to prepare for the significant change that could arrive at any moment.
Li Cheng first went to the Toy Factory, handed over the inventory list, and let the Smart Core crush the artifacts, refine points, and upgrade the factory.
He returned to the real world, sat in front of his computer desk, casually scrolling the mouse wheel, frowning in thought.
On the player forum, the official account of the neighborhood committee posted a pinned message, revealing the preliminary investigation report on Yakai Quanâs case.
The conclusion provided was that Yakai Quan self-destructed because he had once mistakenly entered a forbidden zone and a tumor bomb was implanted inside him by a Security Guard.
The committee announced the coordinates of the forbidden zone and made a great show of setting up automated magic arrays resembling airport security checks at each telephone booth for teleportation outside the slum.
They also announced a collaboration with the Bell Tower Mage Association to launch Golem Guards with law enforcement capabilities, patrolling the slum 24/7 in the coming weeks.
This statement was 80% true and 20% false. Most forum users, seeing the committee invest heavily in security checkpoints, stopped doubting and gave it likes.
An American user even praised the committeeâs professionalism and service attitude below, recounting how a black relative of his was once suspected and
The factory itself had undergone significant changes, having upgraded from level zero to level one as all departments were completed.
As far as the eye could see, the area had quadrupled in size, with all weeds cleared inside the park, and a uniformly styled paved surface on the ground,
The crushing room and refining room have been relocated to different buildings, connected by aerial corridors. The exterior of the corridors is circular glass, while the interior is equipped with light rail trains.
Mechanical Servant laborers and production materials can be quickly transferred via these light rail trains, further enhancing production efficiency.
At the periphery of the core department, large rectangular or cylindrical buildings are situated.
Looking at the intricate pipeline system, it appears to be a distillation tower, absorption tower, reactor tower, cooling tower, exhaust tower, and wastewater treatment facilities.
"Honorable factory owner, youâre here."
The Smart Core gently floats over, perhaps due to the factory upgrade. It also emits a red glow inside, looking more advanced.
"Looks good."
Li Cheng nodded; the factory upgrade only required sufficient exotic points, but the layout, production line planning, and design style of the upgraded buildings all needed manual design.
If done well, it looks clean, neat, grand, and beautiful.
If done poorly, it becomes messy, complex, and extremely ugly, emphasizing just functionality.
"Your satisfaction is my greatest affirmation."
The Smart Core slowly floats ahead as Li Cheng passes through the newly transformed factory.
Along the way, those cylindrical robots excitedly stand at attention when they see him, shouting "Prosper! Han!"
Li Cheng tried to ignore the slogan laden with flaws and asked the Smart Core, "By the way, what about the factory defense system? Why havenât I seen it."
"Itâs all underground, at the factory perimeter."
The Smart Core said, "The defense system is primarily composed of three parts: first, an electromagnetic shield that can prevent radar detection and spiritual energy probes.
Second, an optical deflection generator that can distort the light at the factoryâs perimeter, achieving invisibility.
The third is an integrated weapon station that can fire high-energy lasers."
Accompanied by the Smart Coreâs explanation, manholes at the factory perimeter automatically moved aside, revealing numerous hive-shaped turrets.
To demonstrate its power, one of the turrets fired a red laser across two kilometers of wasteland beyond the factory, instantly leaving a long, narrow scorch mark. Grass burned and rocks shattered along its path.
Li Cheng smacked his lips, the Smart Core keenly sensed his expression, "Youâre not satisfied?"
If it were before, this laser defense system comparable to a mid-tier Transcendentâs full strike was indeed quite strong.
However, now having heard about advanced technologies from the Exotic Civilization via the Side of Truth, the situation doesnât seem optimistic.
Li Cheng waved it off without further explanation, "Have you finished making the artifact I asked for earlier?"
"Itâs completed."
The Smart Core directed cylindrical Mechanical Servants to bring over a meticulously complex device.
The device is about the size of a palm, made of pure white metal, resembling a braided loop connected at both ends, its surface entwined with numerous bronze wires.
The Smart Core explained, "This artifact incorporates S-level technology, A-level intelligence, A-level special relativity, A-level general relativity, A-level anti-gravity, C-level bronze, B-level alternating current, A-level nuclear energy, B-level dream, B-level levitation and other concepts, manufactured into this technology artifact.
Please inspect."
