109: Chapter 109: The Mysterious Iron Heavy Armor Chariot – A New Era Begins!

With the technology upgrade complete, Su Yang summoned General Meng Tian to the front of the Heavy Equipment Battalion.

With a flicker of his thoughts and an investment of command points, the Heavy Equipment Battalion began construction with a deafening boom.

[command points - 4200]

[Summoning dark iron heavy armored vehicle * ...]

[Summoning thousand-mile blazing horse * 2 ...]

(The summoning cost for the thousand-mile blazing horse has been changed to 1000 command points)

Hiss—

With a series of explosions, steam and black smoke surged out simultaneously.

Extremely heavy hammering sounds emanated from within the Heavy Equipment Battalion.

This sound was louder than that of the Imperial Armor Camp or any other building, sounding like rolling thunder.

Thick black smoke continuously spewed into the high sky from the giant chimney on top of the Heavy Equipment Battalion.

Rumble—

Rumble—

After the final two explosions, the Heavy Equipment Battalion ceased operations.

The massive steel doors slowly opened, and countless steam and smoke poured out from within.

Vroom—

A muffled engine roar emerged from the smoke, as if dozens of black bears were growling in unison.

As the engine roared, the dark iron heavy armored vehicle slowly drove out.

This was a giant fully armored truck, 25 meters long, 7.2 meters wide, and 6 meters high.

The entire vehicle was covered in heavy steel armor, with six solid, cast-in-place, explosion-proof tires nearly 3 meters high on each side.

The upper part of the vehicle body was a compartment for transporting soldiers, with each vehicle capable of carrying 100 ordinary soldiers.

The compartment height exceeded 3 meters, making the transport of heavy mechs like the Skyfire Guard a breeze.

The underside of the vehicle was equipped with two large fuel storage tanks and a compression collection chamber.

The front of the vehicle was fitted with a large, cast-steel, snow-plow-like device used to collect materials from the ground into the compression collection chamber.

The maximum capacity of the compression collection chamber was 500 units of any material.

The entire body featured a dark silver color scheme; the massive frame paired with the steady color palette made it look every bit like a steel beast!

Su Yang stood before the dark iron heavy armored vehicle, which had tires nearly twice his height, and felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

This is the true characteristic of Great Qin Heavy Industry!

Su Yang's eyes flickered, unable to hide his admiration.

Following closely behind the dark iron heavy armored vehicle came the sound of steam-simulated neighing.

Turning his head, he saw two thousand-mile blazing horses, nearly three meters tall and crafted entirely from steel, walking out of the Heavy Equipment Battalion.

With every step and breath, puffs of thick white steam spouted from their nostrils.

This time, before Su Yang could even let his eyes light up, General Meng Tian beside him looked as if he had two searchlights in his eyes, with bright light pouring out.

"Good horse, good horse!!"

Seeing how much General Meng Tian liked them, Su Yang did not wait any longer.

He directly instructed him to ride the Blazing Steed and lay a road all the way to General Li Xin's location.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After thanking Su Yang for the reward, General Meng Tian swung onto the horse.

The moment he mounted the horse, his entire Aura became several times more imposing.

General Meng Tian in his steel armor, paired with the steel-crafted Blazing Steed, looked majestic and heroic, his spirit soaring to the heavens.

"Giddyap!!"

General Meng Tian kicked his legs as if riding a motorcycle, and countless steam erupted from the Blazing Steed.

It neighed, and the propulsion devices on its four legs fired simultaneously, shooting it forward with a hum.

In the blink of an eye, all that remained in Su Yang's view was black smoke, mist, and the horse's rear as it sped away.

The Blazing Steed was a multi-terrain vehicle capable of moving rapidly even in the complex terrain of dense forests.

As the Blazing Steed ran, General Meng Tian quickly paved a road along the way.

As a general who had commanded the construction of the Great Qin Great Wall, he was well-versed in infrastructure matters.

Roads, like city walls, were unified across all civilizations and would only be triggered after vehicles were built.

Level 1 roads were stone-paved; 1 unit of stone ore could pave 100 meters, with a road width of 5 meters, and generally low durability.

However, the road General Meng Tian was paving now, boosted by the Great Qin characteristic, reached a width of 10 meters.

Furthermore, although it was also a stone road, the Qin Highway was visibly more refined and practical, from its foundation treatment to its surface structure.

As General Meng Tian traveled further away, a wide, straight road extended from the north side of the territory deep into the dense forest.

Having such a road would greatly shorten the time spent on the road for future combat operations!

In the Forbidden Ground, time is life, and time is the progress of development.

The saved time would further accelerate the development speed of the territory!

Shortly after General Meng Tian left, Su Yang immediately ordered the dark iron heavy armored vehicle to set off.

The dark iron heavy armored vehicle, having passed over a section of humus-rich ground, surged forward as soon as it hit the road.

Its already powerful propulsion, combined with the boost from the Qin Highway surface, allowed a heavy armored vehicle to exhibit the speed and presence of a sports car.

Vroom—

A thunderous engine roar echoed over the dense forest, as if announcing the arrival of a new era to everyone!!

...

Deep in the dense forest, General Li Xin led a squad to guard the Mother Insect, while the remaining Armored Soldiers, under the leadership of Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu, were transporting Xenomorph corpses.

This was an extremely tedious and difficult task; first, they had to collect the Xenomorph remains from all over the dense forest, and then transport them to a single location.

The entire process was not only exhausting and time-consuming but, more importantly, consumed fuel.

The location of the Double Mother Insect Nest was the furthest insect nest to date; just reaching this place had taken nearly 7 hours.

During this time, they had also gone through an encounter battle and were now carrying out the corpse transportation work.

The fuel reserves of all Armored Soldiers had already fallen below the 20% danger line.

Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu was somewhat worried; this fuel reserve could not possibly support their return to the territory.

If they encountered the Xenomorphs while out of fuel, they would have no chance of victory.

However, this was the decree of His Majesty Su Yang, and General Li Xin had not questioned it either.

Therefore, it must be a correct order; as a soldier, he only needed to execute it.

"Giddyap!!"

Suddenly, the sound of steam erupting and heavy footsteps came from afar.

Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu looked over vigilantly and saw from afar, deep in the dense forest, General Meng Tian riding a steel warhorse, galloping towards them!

"General Meng Tian!" Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu exclaimed.

Since when did General Meng Tian have a horse?

"Whoa—"

General Meng Tian shouted "Whoa," but in reality, he manually released the accelerator of the Blazing Steed.

Hiss—

With a burst of steam, the steel-crafted Blazing Steed, adorned with ochre-red decorations, stopped in front of Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu.

"General Meng Tian!"

Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu saluted General Meng Tian.

General Meng Tian swung off and landed with a thud.

"Take your men and step back; the dark iron heavy armored vehicle is coming!"

dark iron heavy armored vehicle? What dark iron heavy armored vehicle?

Could it be a new creation of His Majesty?

Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu was confused, but he quickly led the squad members to step aside.

He saw General Meng Tian wave his arm, extending the road from afar directly into the dense forest.

Vroom—

Armored Elite Warrior Chen Wu heard a thunderous sound, feeling the entire dense forest trembling.

Soon, he saw a silver mechanical beast roaring from the direction General Meng Tian had come!

dark iron heavy armored vehicle, is this the dark iron heavy armored vehicle!?

The steel beast sped all the way to them before slowing down, then activated the tooth-like Thousand Mechanism device in front.

Boom, boom, boom—

It opened its huge mouth, and its sharp steel teeth cut rapidly, crushing all the Xenomorph corpses they had collected and sucking them into its body.

After absorbing the small mountain of corpses they had collected, the giant beast drove into the dense forest, continuously crushing and absorbing.

It was absorbing the Xenomorph corpses!

Originally, they had to spend time and energy picking the corpses out of the ground and transporting them to a designated area.

But the giant beast didn't need such trouble.

It sucked everything into its body in one go, then spewed out the unwanted plants and soil from its flanks.

Furthermore, it didn't need to transport the corpses, because all the remains were already lying in its belly!

What a powerful mechanical beast!
