[Note: A Blazing Steed can carry 1 General-level unit or 3 soldier units; an Improved Blazing Colt can carry 1 soldier unit.]

The two old units, the black iron chariot and the Blazing Steed, did not receive upgrades in terms of power; what electromagnetism brought them was entirely new capabilities.

The new ability of the black iron chariot is Radar Detection; compared to the Sonic Detector, radar possesses a larger range and clearer target acquisition capabilities.

Furthermore, it can detect stealth units similar to the Tyranid warriors encountered last time. After equipping radar, the troops' field combat capabilities will be further enhanced.

Unlocking the Level 2 black iron chariot requires Radar Detection technology, which is also the prerequisite technology for upgrading the Sonic Detector within the territory.

Compared to the mobile radar on the black iron chariot, the territory's most advanced phased array radar has its maximum detection distance increased directly from the 5 kilometers of the Sonic Detector to 100 kilometers.

Moreover, Radar Detection can monitor not only the ground but also the air and underground within its reconnaissance range; it can be said that any movement within 100 kilometers cannot escape the eyes of the radar.

As long as Radar Detection technology is researched, surprise attacks will become a thing of the past.

After the black iron chariot came the Improved Blazing Colt, which excited Su Yang even more.

Previously, when the Level 1 Heavy Equipment Battalion produced Blazing Steeds, Su Yang had considered whether it was possible to equip a cavalry unit.

However, considering the expensive cost of the Blazing Steed and its overly large size, which made it difficult for ordinary soldiers to operate, the idea of forming a cavalry had to be abandoned.

Yet now, with the appearance of the Improved Blazing Colt, not only has its size been reduced to make it more suitable for ordinary soldiers, but its cost has also been lowered.

More importantly, the energy-storage shield equipped on the Blazing Steed, just like the armor of General Li Xin and General Meng Tian, can absorb and store incoming damage, thereby generating stronger collision damage.

This is technology tailor-made for warhorses!

The appearance of the Improved Blazing Colt made Su Yang's idea of forming the Great Qin Iron Cavalry corps possible.

There is no doubt that the combat power of cavalry is stronger than that of infantry, and more importantly, a cavalry unit can provide generals with more tactical possibilities.

This is a dual enhancement of hard combat strength and tactical diversity!

Looking at these upgrades one by one, Su Yang was already feeling impatient.

There were simply too many upgrades to be made, yet both time and resources were limited; he had to calm down and find the most accurate path.

The Great Qin Iron Cavalry corps was certainly imposing, but it was not something that could be considered at this moment.

The most important thing right now was to first satisfy the territory's electricity demand.

The thermal power plant had already been put into use, and electricity was being produced continuously.

The High-Efficiency Electromagnetic Tower and High-Energy Capacitor had both finished research.

Su Yang selected the High-Efficiency Electromagnetic Tower and placed its blueprint in the center of the Lord's District.

As the blueprint was placed, the slender High-Efficiency Electromagnetic Tower building rose from the ground.

It was nearly 10 meters tall, with a base that was a square tower foundation of about 2 meters.

At the very top of the tower was a complex and precise discharge device, from which an invisible electromagnetic field shot out and expanded outward.

As long as there were power supply facilities, the electromagnetic tower could provide electricity to all buildings within a one-kilometer radius that required it.

The moment the electromagnetic tower started, all the mining machines in the production area lit up.

Amidst the roaring of the mining machines, a subtle sound of surging electric current emerged.

All production facilities and factory buildings in the industrial zone received a 100% increase in basic production capacity!

Lightning, the power of the Heavenly God, had been mastered by humanity from this moment on!

After placing the electromagnetic tower, Su Yang also placed a High-Energy Capacitor.

The capacitor would store unused electricity for emergencies.

Of course, the capacitor was basically useless right now, as electricity was extremely scarce within the territory.

Su Yang opened the resource panel to check the various resource data after the electricity boost.

Opening the territory resources again, one could see that the production capacity of all minerals had greatly increased compared to a few days ago.

The biggest contributor among them was, of course, the electricity boost brought by the Level 5 Main Base.

Following that were the resources brought by the Strategy and the tribute from Spain.

Taking coal as an example, after the electricity boost and the addition of new mining machines.

Coal production reached 960 units/day, which was nearly double the previous production capacity.

Then, after the 20% bonus from Times of Peace and Abundance and the tribute from the tributary state.

The territory's daily coal production broke through one thousand, reaching an astonishing 1350 units/day!

The upgrade of the Level 5 Main Base brought an explosive growth to the territory's productivity!
