Free Web NovelChapter 536: Chapter 460: Final Preparations (2)
The dark golden materials began to collapse inward, gradually transforming from a chaotic fog cluster into a more stable and invisible barrier that resonated with Jeming’s soul fluctuations.
Inside, the properties of various materials were skillfully woven together by the artifact refining runes and energy arrays, forming a complex system of autonomous defense and counterattack.
When the lights of all arrays within the manufacturing room converged simultaneously, and the burning True Flame gradually extinguished, the center no longer held the previously thin wisp of fog.
It looked... seemingly more "unremarkable."
Completely colorless and transparent, intangible and without substance.
As if it were just a small area where air density was slightly different, quietly suspended there.
Only the keenest perception could vaguely detect the slight discord contained within.
Jeming left the control console and walked through the airtight door into the core manufacturing room.
He stood in front of the "nothingness," stretched out his index finger, and gently tapped.
A cool sensation came from the fingertip, along with a soul connection as linked as if directing an arm.
The newly upgraded Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier!
Jeming closed his eyes to carefully sense.
The upgraded treasure, while its basic defense and counterattack mechanism remained unchanged, saw its core materials undergo a comprehensive upgrade. Especially with the massive infusion of Flower God Poison, high-quality dead Qi, and the most crucial "Incense Fire Poison," its "essence" and "toxicity" underwent a radical transformation.
"Added so much ’material’..." Jeming’s lips couldn’t help but curve, "Now, even if a Seventh Level Wizard dares to use curses, prophecies, or soul infection methods to touch me... they definitely will die a horrible death!"
With a slight thought, the upgraded Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier seemed to "come alive," instantaneously expanding to envelop Jeming completely.
Then it entirely vanished into the space and energy field around him, leaving no traces.
The first critical preparation was perfectly completed.
Jeming did not leave the manufacturing area.
He walked to the console and pressed a specific call button.
Soon, several exceptionally tall priests of the Black Giant, with a deeper liquid metal luster on their body surfaces, hurriedly walked in.
"Master." The leading priest bowed.
"How is the situation with the basic materials I need?" Jeming directly asked.
"Report to the master, according to your list, the progress of filling ’Material Depot Zone One’ has reached eighty-seven percent and is still rapidly increasing. However, I need to clarify that the capacity planned for ’Material Depot Zone One’ only accounts for fifty percent of the total materials you requested for procurement. Additionally, in the past fifteen years, the long-term procurement contracts signed are recently beginning to concentrate on deliveries. A substantial amount of materials is expected to be delivered via cross-plane teleportation in the near future." The priest swiftly reported various data, obviously familiar with them.
Jeming pulled up the monitoring screen.
The scene showed a specially cleared area outside the laboratory that was as vast as a small plain, with a spectacular sight.
There were thousands of Black Giants over thirty meters tall, exuding powerful auras.
They were units cultivated over the years, reaching the standards of Fifth Level Extraordinary strength.
Now, these Black Giants transformed into tireless porters.
From beside a continuously flashing large space teleportation array, they steadily transported mountain-like metal ingots, colorful crystal clusters, and packaged liquid material cans to the accumulation site.
Although these Black Giants had massive physiques and immense strength.
Those compressed and packed material piles still felt substantial in their hands.
On one side of the accumulation site, various materials had already piled into several genuine metal and crystal mountains, reflecting a cold glow under the dark red sky of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
The data on the screen also confirmed the priest’s statement: The real-time inventory of Material Depot Zone One was increasing at visibly rapid speed.
"Very good." Jeming nodded in satisfaction.
He did not rest but turned back to the primary console in the manufacturing room, focusing his gaze on another set of automated production program interfaces that had long been adjusted.
With his operation, the part of the arrays within the manufacturing room that had just settled down lit up again.
But this time, the target was no longer the Profound Gang Red Dust Barrier but the mountain of basic materials continuously sent into the pre-processing area via conveyor belts from the accumulation site.
Thus, under Jeming’s control, the blazing flame furnace activated, melting large chunks of rare metals into flowing liquid.
The crystal grinding array activated, crushing the hard energy crystal stones and refining them into standard powders; the extraction array ran, separating the required active ingredients from specific plant or mineral raw materials...
Under Jeming’s precise control, these pre-processed materials quickly combined and formed in designated ratios and sequences within secondary manufacturing units.
Finally, from the end of the production line, thumb-sized, regular octagonal-shaped metal plaques with a smooth mirror-like surface and dark golden sheen dropped like flowing water, collected by automatic sorting devices into storage boxes.
These were the new type of "ammunition" Jeming prepared for the upcoming warfare—"Fire Extinction Divine Light" single-storage witchcraft artifacts, optimized and remodeled for a second time.
Unlike the early witchcraft artifacts refined into a magic staff form, the internal structure of these metal plaques was highly integrated, with almost all space used for depicting more efficient energy storage runes and ultra-fast recharging arrays.
The cost was that each metal plaque could only store and release the full power of "Fire Extinction Divine Light" once.
But its advantages were also extremely distinctive: very fast recharging speed!
In conditions of sufficient energy supply, a depleted metal plaque only needed a mere thirty seconds to be "refilled," restoring combat capability.
Moreover, its compact size made it easy to carry in large quantities and quickly deploy.
This was Jeming’s design idea for dealing with high-intensity, high-aggressiveness warfare.
The advantage of Talisman Witchcraft is its ability to utilize environmental energy to achieve "infinite" firepower, but due to technical limitations, it cannot currently accommodate highly specialized compound spells like "Fire Extinction Divine Light."
Traditional witchcraft artifacts have strong stability and are not affected by environmental interference but have limited firepower, usually used as an emergency or last resort measure.
Jeming took a different approach: Since the firepower of a single witchcraft artifact is limited, then compensate with quantity!
As long as the total number of witchcraft artifacts I carry is large enough, large enough to have the earliest fired batch already starting to recharge before the first batch of witchcraft artifacts is all fired.
Then, under ideal conditions, a closed firepower cycle can be formed, theoretically achieving a continuous high-intensity saturation strike!
And the premise for realizing this concept has three: one is nearly infinite energy support, two is an abundance of standard witchcraft artifacts that can be quickly recharged, three is sufficient storage space to hold these artifacts.
Fortunately, Jeming fully met these three premises.
The cross-space energy transmission system of Incense Fire Divine Dao has been preliminarily established, backed by the Seventh Level Large Elemental Pool, Jeming can entirely proclaim, "My energy is inexhaustible."
As for the sufficient space, Jeming’s ever-expanding Inner Grotto Heaven is absolutely no problem.
As for the sufficient quantity...
The seemingly endless production of dark golden metal plaques before his eyes is the answer to the second premise.
Jeming personally operated, completing the manufacturing process of the first batch of roughly five hundred metal plaques.
He randomly selected a few for testing, confirming stable internal energy structures, smooth recharging interfaces, and power activation meeting standards.
"Quality passes, ready for mass production."
He put down the detector, set the entire debugged automated production process to the highest priority cycle task.
Simultaneously, through the console, directly connected a dedicated interface of Incense Fire Divine Dao’s cross-space transmission system, continuously injecting the vast and stable energy from the Seventh Level Large Elemental Pool into the energy network of the manufacturing room.
"Initiate, full-automatic mass production protocol."
Instruction issued.
Instantly, the entire massive manufacturing area awakened like a giant beast rising from slumber!
All relevant arrays, furnaces, production lines powered up to full capacity, emitting deep and forceful hums.
Materials were consumed at an even faster pace, a rain of dark golden metal plaques poured from the end of the production line, into waiting storage boxes, soon filling up a box, automatically sealed, then conveyed to a specialized finished product warehouse, a new empty box immediately replaced.
Efficiency improved by not less than a hundredfold compared to Jeming’s manual operation!
Jeming stood before the control console, gazing at the waterfall-refreshing production data on the screen and the bustling scene in the monitoring footage, slowly exhaling a long breath.
(Only this Chapter for today, I need to slightly recall the outline of the following Chapters.)
