194: Burleigh Reef

“The Second Advancement Lord System has begun to establish. Please wait…”

The system gave a puzzling prompt that Han Huohuo didn’t understand at all, but since the system asked him to wait, he would wait.

Who knew how long “please wait” would take?

Mu Jiu made a face, “I knew it! You’re so powerful, this class change quest shouldn’t be a problem for you.”

Han Huohuo smiled without explaining.

Perhaps the original quest design wasn’t like this, requiring him to become a Faceless Person, infiltrate the Big Data Center, and exploit the conflict between humans and Gods within to complete the quest, testing one's wisdom. However, Han Huohuo lacked wisdom; he brought two cheating artifacts: one was the Military Ring, which used the Apocalypse Tank for military suppression, and the other was the Spear of Destiny, a natural bane for Artificial Intelligence. Thus, he directly fought his way through the quest!

The two returned to Tongtian City together.

Tongtian City had completely changed. All 81 districts had been built. Although some districts were not yet fully populated, it was now a true large city.

Almost exhausting all resources, Mu Jiu had upgraded the city to black iron Level 5, with a population cap of one million. Although the army and mechanical workers occupied 200,000 population slots, the residents had already reached 800,000.

Han Huohuo first went to the Technology Center.

Basic technology had been almost completely researched; ancient technology was finished. However, the next step wasn't modern technology, but a shift to the mythological technology path. Mu Jiu couldn't understand mythological technology at all, so Han Huohuo needed to choose the direction of technology.

With the advent of mythology, the technology options had changed significantly.

“The Health System: Strengthen the body to perfection. Humans who achieve this are called black iron Humans and can begin preliminary mythological warrior cultivation.”

“The Holy mechanical System: The basic discipline for creating spiritual power mecha, spiritual power weapons, and spiritual power vehicles.”

“The Rune System: Rune research and application.”

There were a total of three major systems, each with dozens of technologies to research. Han Huohuo found it difficult and spent a long time researching.

In the end, he still felt that the human body itself was the most important, and as a human, having a healthy and strong body was paramount.

He decided to start researching the Health System.

Starting with the most basic black iron Body and upgrading it to the Flawless Body.

“black iron Body: Refines impurities from the mortal body, increasing basic endurance by 50%.”

This path was similar to a technological breakthrough in biotechnology, with all technology points enhancing residents, and even Han Huohuo could benefit from it, making it Han Huohuo's preferred choice.

Of course, this increased the percentage of basic endurance, not total endurance, and it was an additive relationship with skills, not a multiplicative one.

It was equivalent to Han Huohuo learning an additional intermediate life skill.

Leaving the Technology Center, he went to the Magic Tower.

The Magic Tower’s Level 4 magic had already been developed.

Han Huohuo learned several new spells: Level 2 Lightning and Blindness; Level 3 Earthquake, Chain Fireball, and Ice Ring; Level 4 Grand Prayer and Chain Lightning.

The magic recorded in the magic book was becoming increasingly rich.

As for industry and agriculture, Han Huohuo didn't need to worry about them. As a poor student who didn't even understand Earth's technology himself, he would let the artisans here figure it out.

After handling these matters,

Han Huohuo finally arrived at the most important place: the Mecha Factory.

He first checked the progress of the research institute. The technology research here was quite slow, but mobility had finally been researched, increasing the movement speed of all mecha by three points.

Now, even the Mechanical Wolf's running speed exceeded a cavalry's full charge and could even catch up to a Griffons's flight speed.

Fighters were even more powerful.

Han Huohuo allocated all remaining technology to shield research, equipping every mecha with a recoverable shield.

This could significantly enhance overall combat power.

Then Han Huohuo took out the b chip from the quest and inserted it into the computer at the Mecha Research Institute.

“Detected advanced mechanical chip, b chip. Do you want to replicate the b chip for all mecha? The b chip can increase the intelligence of all mecha by three times.”

“Yes!”

At Han Huohuo's command, all mecha began to upgrade. Most mecha had ten intelligence points and quickly upgraded to thirty intelligence points.

The only mecha with magical attacks was the Apocalypse Tank, which saw the greatest improvement. Although other mecha had physical attacks, intelligence was still very important, greatly improving their combat skills.

In terms of data, this was reflected in a threefold increase in evasion, blocking, and critical hits!

Tongtian City's overall military strength had advanced another step.

Then Han Huohuo began to mass-produce frigates and unmanned missile aircraft.

Both of these units only required black oil, and Han Huohuo was no longer short on black oil, so he could manufacture them on a large scale.

Ever since he obtained the Spear of Destiny, Han Huohuo had a hunch that the Elf Sea was extremely important, even a thousand times more important than the Devil Sea, and would be particularly crucial for his future.

Therefore, he had to help the Elves completely control the Elf Sea.

Of course, a large fleet was needed.

Han Huohuo spared no expense, building a total of one thousand frigates and ten thousand unmanned missile aircraft, exhausting all his black oil in one go.

It took several days to complete the construction.

All these fleets were sent to Sunset City via a teleportation gate.

They couldn't reach Sunset City directly and needed to transfer through Wind Whisper City, which became an important transit base.

When everything was ready, and he returned to Sunset City once again,

A look of awe appeared on the faces of all the Elves.

The Jingwei Grand Elder and Han Huohuo stood on the Sichuan, looking at the thousands of warships around them. They had never seen such a massive navy and were utterly astonished.

“Depart!”

This time, all the Heroes were present: Han Xin, Jingwei, Hua Mulan, and Zheng He all boarded the ships. Except for Sophia, who was guarding the north, all Epic Heroes were deployed. Among them, Han Xin, Hua Mulan, and Jingwei would accompany Han Huohuo on the Black Pearl to explore Boli Reef.

Zheng He, meanwhile, was stationed on the Sichuan, responsible for commanding the naval and air forces to suppress the Chaos creatures on Boli Reef.

The fleet's speed was much faster, reaching Boli Reef in two days. Thousands of warships surrounded Boli Reef and immediately began a mode of intense bombardment.

The Chaos monsters were bombed miserably. This battle became an effective suppression of a strong ground army by the naval and air forces.

Han Huohuo and several Heroes had already transferred to the Black Pearl. Jack piloted the Black Pearl, entering the narrow waterways of Boli Reef.

The sky was full of fighters, escorting the Black Pearl.

With the b chip's enhancement, these fighters' accuracy and flexibility significantly improved. They weaved through the air, making the Chaos monsters on the ground howl.
