The Lava River was like an inexhaustible treasure trove, filled with abundant resources. However, the liquid metals obtained from the river could not be used directly. Their composition was complicated, and they needed to be separated into various pure metals. This required a metal separator, but there were already three large chunks of metal in the warehouse, and Ye Chong's metal separator was not ready yet.
The large metal separator was more difficult than Ye Chong had expected. It took him half a month to complete it.
The completed metal separation machine was 20 meters tall. In front of such a huge object, people couldn't help but feel how small they were.
The metal chunks were cut into pieces and sent through a conveyor belt to the entrance. Through the separator, they would come out with different elemental metals. These pure elemental metals were sent through the conveyor belt to different areas. Each elemental metal had its own area, and they had their own maintenance methods. The efficiency of the large metal separation machine was very high. It only took half a day to completely separate the large pieces of metal that were extracted from the square pool.
The weaponsmiths felt like they were dreaming. They had never imagined that they would one day be able to make such a magical machine. While most of this was due to Master Ye Chong's efforts, the fact that they were able to participate in the process was a valuable experience.
They were now in awe of Ye Chong. Such a complicated machine was unheard of. They did not even dare to think about it. Besides, they did not know that gravstones could be used this way. The beautiful, uniform, and pure raw materials were not something that should exist in the human world. Only now did they realize how primitive their use of gravstones was.
With the stimulation of reality, these people worked even harder to learn the knowledge in the photon processor. They knew that as long as they worked hard, they would be able to master this magical knowledge.
Ye Chong was almost an engineer now. Piles and piles of pure metal chunks were piled up there. If they did not produce a product soon, they would not be able to make use of their value.
Even in the He Yue Galaxy, it was difficult to build a large machine like the Large Metal Separator. However, Ye Chong had completed it. He was the one who benefited the most from this. With this experience, it would be much easier to make other large machines in the future.
He was currently making a smelting furnace. Only a smelting furnace could produce alloys. The strength of alloys was much stronger than ordinary metals, and some of the unique properties of alloys were not found in ordinary metals. Ye Chong had many alloy formulas in his mind. Once he built the smelting furnace, Ye Chong would be able to produce alloys of various properties.
Ye Chong had the most advanced equipment at his disposal, and the advanced smelting furnace in his laboratory allowed him to produce many excellent alloys. Although the amount of these alloys was not much, it was not a big problem to use them to make these large mechanical parts.
For the current Stronghold, production was the first step. Ye Chong had to stop his training to study mechanics. However, he had a solid foundation and had seen a lot of things over the years. He could understand some complicated problems after pondering for a while. If he really encountered any difficulties, he still had the three chips that Kui had left him. The three chips contained all the research done by the Research Consortium since its establishment. Some of the technology was not considered advanced, but it covered almost every field of study. It became Ye Chong's encyclopedia.
Suddenly, Ye Chong's comms device rang. Ye Chong did not have many comms devices with him. Only Sha Ya, Xi Yan, and Duan Qian had them, and the students were jealous of them.
Ye Chong opened the comms device. It was Sha Ya.
"What is it?" Ye Chong cut to the chase.
Sha Ya's hoarse voice came through, "Something's up. I've spotted two shooters." Sha Ya was the only one in the group who did not address Ye Chong as Sir or Teacher.
"Where is it?" Ye Chong's expression was calm, but he immediately dropped his tools and stood up.
He walked towards Celest, which was parked not far away. Celest's pilot cabin. He strode forward with a calm expression on his face, as calm as ice. To deal with dangerous situations, he had left Celest nearby, so that he could move as fast as he could.
"Position D9-F4." Sha Ya was now very familiar with the positioning system in her photon processor, and reported the position easily. She added, "They're about 20 kilometers away from me, and have not found me yet. I've sent you the coordinates. "
"Keep an eye on them. Keep your distance, and wait for me," Ye Chong said simply. Celest took to the skies right after he finished speaking.
The advantage of the holographic scanning system was evident here. While it was just a simplified holographic scanning system, it had an advantage over parapsychic waves in terms of scanning radius. This kind of advantage was the initiative, and it was especially important in such an encounter.
Celest moved quickly. In Darkniss, Ye Chong did not have to hold back.
Ye Chong had expected to encounter shooters here. Level 7 and 8 shooters were rare, but most of them would come to Darkniss for the adventure. However, he did not expect them to be at D9-F4, and not at the entrance to Darkniss. Were they shooters who entered Darkniss before they arrived?
Ye Chong was not worried about Level 8 shooters, but he was worried about Level 9 shooters like Mei Wu. Until now, he still had not figured out how powerful Mei Wu was. This was very rare for Ye Chong. This was why Ye Chong did not think of looking for Mei Wu when he entered Darkniss.
Ye Chong soon found Sha Ya's Spider. Sha Ya's daily mission was to patrol the outer perimeter of the stronghold. She had to hunt down the wild animals, and also keep an eye out for anything that might happen.
Sha Ya noticed Celest in the sky. She could not figure out how such a huge thing could fly so high up in the sky.
In the sky, Celest was as mighty as a god, but also as indifferent as a god.
Celest's holographic scanning system was much more advanced than the one on the Spider. Ye Chong's holographic image was much clearer than the one Sha Ya sent him. Ye Chong transmitted the image to the Spider below.
On the holographic screen, two shooters advanced cautiously. They held laser guns in their hands and carried backpacks on their backs. They were dressed differently from the shooters Ye Chong had seen before.
"They're shooters from Western Frost," Sha Ya said confidently. Western Frost and Eastern Cloud were enemies, but the enmity between the two countries did not extend to the advanced shooters. Level 8 shooters like Sha Ya had no interest in serving their country. They were obsessed with improving themselves, and did not care about material gains. Besides, advanced shooters were not short of money. Every time they entered and exited Darkniss, they would gain a lot. Not only did they get good weapons from the weaponsmiths, they could also live a comfortable life.
Hence, the territory of a country did not affect the relationship between advanced shooters. Sha Ya knew many advanced shooters from Western Frost and Southern Lands, and was on good terms with them.
"How strong are they?" Ye Chong asked.
Sha Ya studied them for a moment and replied, "Probably between Level 7 and 8." Shooters were very sensitive to each other.
"Capture them," Ye Chong gave the final order after a moment's thought. Once the two shooters were captured, everything would be easy.
"Alright."
Celest and the Spider moved at the same time. In the sky, Celest charged straight towards the two shooters. On the ground, the Spider spread out its eight legs and moved quickly. The uneven ground did not affect it at all.
However, Celest was much faster than the Spider. The two shooters only noticed Celest when they were about five kilometers away. However, it was too late.
Five kilometers was too short for Celest. It only needed a sprint to cover the distance.
The sudden appearance of the huge creature in the sky shocked the two shooters. Celest was so fast that they could not react in time. Fortunately, one of the shooters reacted quickly enough and fired a shot.
A laser beam hit the huge creature accurately.
The two shooters were relieved for a moment, but were quickly replaced by shock and disbelief.
How was this possible?
The laser beam that could have pierced through countless animals had only left a scorch mark on the giant's armor.
They did not have time to fire a second shot. A long and sharp pillar, thicker than a water bucket, was held in the giant's hand. The sharp end of the pillar was pointed at them, and the cold gleam on its tip sent chills down the two shooters' spines.
The two of them suddenly froze on the spot, their faces ghastly pale, and they didn't dare to move in the slightest. They were deeply afraid that if they moved even the slightest bit, the other party would just have to move forward slightly, and that pillar-like thing would be enough to crush them into two puddles of meat paste.
The giant was also puzzled. It held the pillar and pointed it at the two shooters, but did not do anything else. Just as the two shooters were confused, a giant spider about six to seven meters tall suddenly charged towards them. It was as fast as a two-legged tyrannosaurus.
Heavens! What was that?
The two shooters' faces were drained of blood. They were so terrified that they almost fainted. A ten-meter tall armored giant and a six-meter tall spider. Had they arrived at the Kingdom of the Giants?
The muscles on both of their bodies were extremely stiff, and it was extremely difficult for them to even move a single finger.
The two shooters watched in horror as the giant spider approached them happily, as if it had seen a delicious meal.
When Ye Chong and Sha Ya returned to the stronghold with the two unconscious shooters, no one noticed them. The students were all training hard. They now had a complete learning plan in their hands. This gave them a clear idea of what they needed to do. However, there were many subjects to learn, and the students were all on high alert. Even without Ye Chong's urging, none of them dared to relax. They understood their situation now, and no one dared to try their luck. Only those who passed would survive. Ye Chong's words were still ringing in their ears.
Besides, the first 100 who passed would be given mechs first. This reward made everyone's eyes red. These days, they had all seen the large pieces of metal extracted from the Furious Flame River. This magical material filled them with anticipation for the mechs they were going to receive next.
Ye Chong and Sha Ya were now interrogating the two shooters. Their weapons had already been confiscated by Ye Chong. The laser guns could not do any damage to Celest. Only a weapon from a fighter aircraft could do any damage to Celest.
The shooters who had lost their weapons were no threat to Ye Chong.
Sha Ya looked at the two unconscious shooters and asked worriedly, "Should we wait for them to wake up?"
"No need." Ye Chong picked up a bucket of cold water and poured it on them.
Sha Ya's heart skipped a beat. She felt sorry for the two shooters. Based on their level, they were treated with courtesy no matter where they went. Even if they were captured, no one would treat a Level 7 or 8 shooter this way. Only Ye Chong treated the shooters like they were normal people, without any difference.
The two shooters on the ground shuddered under the cold water, and slowly woke up.
For the shooters, this was a form of torture. They were extremely sensitive, and could magnify even the slightest sensation around them. The chilling sensation was magnified as well. The two shooters woke up, their faces pale, their mouths blue, and their bodies trembling.
Sha Ya looked at them sympathetically and asked, "What are your names?"
"Albinia." "Lotesha," the two shooters answered, their voices trembling. They were both shocked and frightened, and it was obvious that they had not completely recovered from the shock. Everything that had happened today was so strange. They felt like they were in a nightmare.
Sha Ya interrogated them, and the two shooters did not dare to hide anything. They immediately told her everything.
They were indeed shooters from Western Frost. They had just reached Level 8, and decided to come here to train themselves. Who would have thought that they would run into such trouble?
Wait, giants, Spider …
The two shooters exchanged a look of disbelief. Could it be …
"You guys … Spider … Giants …" Albinia stammered.
Sha Ya's eyes fell on Albinia's wrist. She narrowed her eyes and looked up at Albinia. "Who's your teacher?"
