Chapter 1104: Buying Stars

Now I have made a name for myself! I've found the Immortal Sect! Lü's word is his bond, I promised you, I will definitely find a way to immortality for both of us, this path of alchemy and cultivation.........

Winter is coming.

As cards were deployed on the upper table, the mechanical kingdom began to whir and click into full operation.

According to common sense, each defensive line should be equipped with one mechanical officer, one administrative officer, and one commander.

The executive officer is responsible for communicating with allied nations other than mechanical entities, and for requisitioning and coordinating war resources.

The administrator commands the establishment of factories to produce soldiers for deployment to the front lines, while the mechanical commander is in charge of frontline combat.

The mechanical commander of the Cybertronian defense forces, Megatron, has already been destroyed before the war, and the administrator has taken over its responsibilities.

This means that executives are responsible for almost all coordination and logistical work.

Doesn't the Machine Race have a new commander

The answer is there is none at all.

The wisdom of the mechanical race comes from the innate laws of the universe -- 【numbers】.

Creating cards for life forms is not easy, but even a piglet has its own spirit when born.

Manufacturing mechanical bodies is easy, but imbuing them with sentience is very difficult.

They need to assign a "computing power" value to each card, or else the concept of intelligence wouldn't exist.

During the surface era, the Mech race had its digital structure demolished by its adversary. It took a while to rebuild the database, and during a battle with the Council, it was infected by an algorithm virus, causing severe degradation of its computing power.

Just like a human, the head was struck by a heavy blow and then contracted meningitis....

It's not surprising that the overall impression is not very intelligent.

The existing computing power is nowhere near enough to accommodate hundreds of intelligent machines....

However, after the alliance with the Spiritual Race, the Mechanical Race could borrow the wisdom of living beings and build semi-living mechanical bodies to share the enormous amount of intellectual work and computation.

In short, the mechanical army wasn't just commanded by intelligent machines. The Alliance used a steel tide to form an isolation zone across 80 star sectors, blocking the spread of the virus.

A mechanical legion stood at the forefront, while a multitude of Purifier Alliance lifeforms stationed themselves in the rear, responsible for supplies, logistics, and planning, simultaneously directing the mechanical legion to battle the terrifying enemy.

Of course, the Orc Warlords are just a minority. Most lifeforms also do their best, after all, everyone knows that if the mechanical army falls...a terrifying virus will come....

Cybertron originally had a Lifeform Command Council, but due to negligence in control, a reptilian being went out of bounds for convenience and accidentally contracted a rash. As a result, the council has no living members...

With the help of a springboard, the pimple army wiped out the enemy command headquarters in just three days.

Within a short time (five hundred years), the Alliance could not produce a new mechanical commander, nor establish another well-sealed life body command center. Only the executive could take over.

You said the ruling officer would it engage in frontline combat.

Of course not anymore......

So, the Cybertronian defense line has troops and frontline arsenals, but its on-site command is as thin as a cicada's wing.

Fully aware of the frontline's anxieties, Cybertron might be overwhelmed in a wave (viruses and swarms replicate/breed in cycles, thus exhibiting a characteristic wave attack).

But her own computing power was limited, and she could only resort to desperate measures, seeking cooperation with the intelligent race.

Unexpectedly... humans helped her get a good hand!

After suppressing the rebellion in the rear, stabilizing the Rock Country Mine, and introducing an advanced collectible card game system.

...there has been no armed conflict with the Wraith faction yet......

As expected of an old-fashioned intelligent race, they truly have some skills.

Winter is coming, and the gacha problem will be solved immediately.......

There has never been such a wonderful assistant!!!

Look at the male human beside you.

So, what else can he do

.......

She was immediately interested in the gacha business Lu Cheng offered, needing money, she asked him what he wanted.

"Ah.......I want everything...."

Even if you gave me a pile of feces, I could turn it into money for you to take back and plant.

Let alone a prosperous central world!

In the last few rounds, Lu Cheng opened up the Xuanwu Gate logistics. Now she can provide card-pulling services. With this guarantee in place, it seems like she can print another batch of money.

Besides, you can't do anything without taking something.......

The Zerg and the natural are still within the treaty period, but the wormhole lease is about to expire. Renewal wouldn't be difficult.

But in winter, their prices will go up.......

It's not about gouging customers, it's just that it's winter. Maintaining the worm tunnel requires a lot of energy, so raising the price is reasonable.

This is a large sum of money.

Then winter arrived, and household energy costs rose. Given the current scale of cultivation, it would likely be impossible to sustain so many people.

This is another big sum of money.

"What's the most urgent thing

Lu Cheng thought for a moment.

The most urgent thing is resources.

There are no more original resources stars available for mining at home.

The prerequisite for Yunmeng to produce high-star materials is the Xianjie cultivation industry, which requires a large amount of spiritual steam and Lingran Cave Heavens.

After the Battle of the South China Sea, the shipyard had exhausted almost all of its planetary potential.

To reopen the mine would be excessive and would likely have a devastating impact on the ecosystem.

But can you really buy a pure resource star

Lu Cheng couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Resource Star......."

"It's a resource star, not just a pure resource, is it" 01 was somewhat surprised.

Could it be that humans still possess complete extraction/preparation techniques

"No, it's a resource star." Lu Cheng replied. "The energy and materials I need are different from yours; I need to synthesize them myself."

"The closest to the Iwakuni Dragon Boat... are these three cards!"

01 without a word pulled out three cards.

Lu Cheng took a look at it.

A mining asteroid, a water-purifying planet, and a gas giant.

As for mining asteroids, that goes without saying. Completely excavating a single asteroid yields a significant amount of resources, although it's not enough to build another flagship. Quite a bit nonetheless.

As for the Water Planet sold in 01, unlike Beiming, it doesn't require Dragon Gate filtration to provide water sources.

While gaseous celestial bodies can be said to be the very foundation upon which life depends.

Human survival and the combat of cultivators and mechanisms all rely on qi.

The steam engines of the Yu-Jing starship, P'o-lai and Lung-kung need to be constantly running. Every day, the steam engine furnace burns a massive amount of fuel!

And in the picture of a thousand miles of rivers and mountains, even cultivators need to naturally consume Qi when they breathe.

If I don't buy another gaseous planet, I'm afraid Peach Source will be completely depleted within a thousand years....

And if all the gaseous resources on the planet in our hands were drained, without spiritual energy, we couldn't even live, so what kind of war would there be....

These three planetary cards are undoubtedly high-quality resources, with these three cards alone, enough to support Lu Chengqian in many things, and the price is far less expensive than habitable planets.

I'm afraid to buy in protected areas, worried about hyperinflation and losing protection. Can't I even afford these three

The asteroid is counted as a red 1-star value, the other two cards are counted as red 2-star values, wouldn't that be enough of a guarantee

Can you really buy it

Buy!

Lu Cheng, without a word, issued one red 1-star貝幣 and two red 2-star 貝幣, handing them to 01.

(The other party acknowledged your card trading rules, you obtained [Mining Asteroid]*1, [Purified Planet]*1, and [Gaseous Celestial Body]*1)a day and as soon as he woke up, he jumped right back into command.Leading the fleet, receiving orders to sail west and find the lost moon, searching for light in the dark ages. The fleet strayed off...
