Chapter 733 Dual Shields Deployed on Ships, Great Xia Massively Produces Troops
The black storm on the planet Hiss hadn't stopped, but the demons had already devoured a layer of the mineral veins.
Hordes of monsters lay on the frozen, cracked rock, frantically digging with their claws, teeth, and bone blades.
The gray-black ore was dragged out of the ground and fed to the demonic units that were specially refined, while the energy cores were expelled.
The remaining high-density metal was stuffed into the ruptured abdominal sacs of the giant transport monsters.
Kog'Maw stood at the end of the ridge, his massive demonic body shrouded in the storm. His crimson eyes held no joy, only a cold dissatisfaction.
"Faster!"
Its sound overwhelmed the storm and exploded across the entire mining area.
A seventh-tier demon lord said:
"Rest assured, my lord, we have also instructed the demons on the other five planets to expedite their progress."
"The excavated minerals will all be transported back."
Kogas looked down at the mountains of ore and nodded.
These resources were originally its spoils to keep all to itself.
But now it has no choice but to offer the coordinates of two of the civilizations to other demon gods in exchange for them.
This feeling is really not pleasant.
But Yax is right.
It can no longer force itself to swallow everything in one gulp.
Before selling the coordinates of the Kona and Blue Star civilizations, it must first move everything that can be moved from the Kona star system.
Even if other demons invade later, all they will see is a pile of gnawed bones.
"Very good, dig up everything that can be dug up, and leave the hard-to-dig parts alone."
Kogas opened his massive maw and crushed a piece of ore mixed with dark red crystal cores to replenish his strength.
It must continue to eat.
The newly formed demonic body appears intact, but its strength is far inferior to that of the old body before it was destroyed by the antimatter explosion.
If it goes back to trade with other demons like this, those greedy guys will surely smell the weakness on it.
There have never been true allies among the demon race.
Only enemies that are temporarily impossible to bite.
Kog'Maw would not allow himself to appear before the other demons in a weakened state.
It wants those guys to think they've just run into a little trouble, not that they were almost blown to smithereens by a low-tech civilization!
……
Blue Star, Great Xia.
Unlike the oppressive black storm on the planet Hiss, the underground city of Tian Shu has been as busy as a red-hot war machine lately.
The demons have been holed up in defense for some time and have not launched any large-scale counterattacks, which has given the Great Xia a rare respite since the end of the world.
But no one dared to truly relax.
The demons are still around, and they won't just give up like this. Besides, the doomsday of Earth is still lurking in the shadows, rapidly eroding humanity's survival time.
Therefore, the only thing Da Xia can do is to develop like crazy during this period.
On the main screen of the Tian Shu Command Center, the construction progress of the thirty-six underground cities was displayed simultaneously.
Behind every city hangs a string of constantly fluctuating data.
The quantum communication backbone network has been fully upgraded.
The heavy engineering robot production line has been put into operation.
The first small-scale all-purpose factory has successfully completed trial production.
Seeing these latest developments, many technicians in the conference room smiled.
Qian Zhenhua stood in front of the screen and introduced:
"Everyone, the small all-purpose factory in Tian Shu City has completed a 72-hour continuous stable operation test."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and clicked on a production video.
In the video, a fully enclosed automated production line is operating at high speed.
Raw materials enter from one end, and after sorting, melting, printing, assembly, and testing, a batch of standardized robot parts are directly output from the other end.
Immediately afterwards, the production line did not stop, but the internal modules were rearranged, and the output changed from robot parts to unmanned combat vehicle components.
Lin Mo's eyelids twitched at the sight.
"Is this the planetary-level automated industrial system we exchanged with the Kona civilization?"
Qian Zhenhua smiled, his tone filled with barely suppressed smugness.
"That's right, but it has a new name."
"We call it—the all-purpose factory!"
A burst of laughter filled the conference room.
This name is indeed very fitting, and everyone likes it.
As long as there are raw materials and blueprints, it can automatically reconfigure the production line within a certain range to achieve closed-loop manufacturing from material processing to finished product output.
Military parts, medical equipment, daily necessities, engineering modules, and even some supporting structures for spacecraft can all be included in the production sequence.
With blueprints and resources, anything can be made!
3D printer universal version!
Sitting in the main seat, Old Zhao calmly scanned the data and asked:
"How long will it take to fully deploy all thirty-six underground cities?"
The project manager immediately stood up.
"Reporting to the commander, the universal factory is the top priority for construction. Robots are working in shifts around the clock, and core equipment in various cities is already in production. It is expected to be completed within a month."
One month.
If this were before the apocalypse, even the approval process for a large factory might not have been completed.
But now, the Great Xia Dynasty plans to build a super factory in each of its thirty-six underground cities, capable of automatically absorbing raw materials and spitting out finished products.
Lin Mo suddenly had a very strong feeling in his heart.
From the moment it is completed, the Great Xia Dynasty will truly enter an era of massive troop production.
Qian Zhenhua continued:
"Once all thirty-six small, multi-functional factories are completed, they will not only produce existing equipment."
He raised his hand and swiped, and the model on the screen changed again.
This time, what appeared was a massive above-ground complex that hardly resembled a factory.
"In the next phase, they will begin producing components for a 100-kilometer-scale super multi-functional factory."
"These components will be transported to the surface for assembly, forming a true planetary-level industrial base."
"And the primary task of the super-versatile factory is to serve the planetary engine program."
The meeting room fell silent for a moment.
Even though everyone present had read the plan beforehand, some people still couldn't help but gasp when the planetary engine model was actually unveiled.
That's no ordinary thruster; it's a mountain of steel!
The propulsion tower, which is ten kilometers high, is even taller than Mount Everest.
Its chassis diameter is as large as 30 kilometers, like a city.
If you include the outer foundation, cooling system, energy pipeline network, maintenance area, and storage area, the diameter of a single building complex would reach a despairing 60 kilometers!
The difficulty of its construction is even greater than that of building a new modern city!
Lin Mo stared at the model for a few seconds, then couldn't help but say:
"If we had built something like this before, wouldn't it have taken the entire nation decades to complete?"
Qian Zhenhua nodded.
"To be conservative, it could take hundreds of years."
"Moreover, we're not building just one."
On the screen, the south polar region of Earth was covered by a large area of red dots.
"Our plan is to build a total of 10,000 planetary engines!"
"Nine thousand of the main thrust engines will be built in Antarctica and used to propel Earth out of the solar system in the future."
"The remaining thousand are arranged around the equator as attitude correction and steering engines."
