Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! - Chapter 1646
Chapter 1646: A Tree That Stands Out in the Forest
From the simulated monster neuron system based on the bionics theory…
To the biochemical chariot that carried over five hundred runes, logical thinking circuits, and the ability to learn on its own…
To the monster army that the humans could directly utilize after the control chip was implanted…
To the power armor that could greatly increase the limits of the human body and increase one’s combat strength by 300% without the need for the operator to master any skills.
If all the above concepts were integrated together, there would be no need for a single soldier. It would be an “unmanned intelligent forward base solution” that could automatically launch, collect, refine, build, and construct a defense system in the wild.
Every new concept that Thundercloud Technology threw out accurately hit the sore spot of Dragon City’s people and was warmly welcomed by the market.
Moreover, Yun Feidian was definitely not just all talk.
He was a Deity Realm mechanic, beast controller, electronic engineer, and virologist. Plus, he had done solid research on every seemingly incredible new technology.
The public had accused Thundercloud Technology’s new concepts of being publicity stunts, over the top, and swindling investments.
In the end, Yun Feidian would slap all of them in the face with a series of practical patents.
Yun Feidian commercialized the patents with ease, and they appeared in various major markets, entering thousands of households soon after. Those who had once nitpicked on him could just quickly delete the articles that once smeared Yun Feidian’s name and change them to praise or even worship him.
There was another important matter.
Yun Feidian never followed the Deity Realm powerhouses of the first generation into the monster mastermind’s ultimate lair.
On the surface, it was due to the extremely dangerous decisive battle with the monster mastermind. No one could guarantee that the human powerhouses would be able to achieve a complete victory. If the monster mastermind’s strength was far beyond imagination, the human side would need to keep a few Deity Realm seeds. Only then would they have the chance to make a comeback and turn the situation around.
Moreover, Yun Feidian’s parents were both Deity Realm powerhouses.
They had already entered the monster civilization’s final lair and left some offspring behind in case something happened to them.
The deeper reason was that Yun Feidian’s family was too powerful even among the nine great cultivation families.
If Yun Feidian had entered the monster civilization’s ultimate lair and made a great contribution, the balance between the nine great cultivation families would have completely collapsed.
A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The reason why Lu Siya betrayed the Lu family and stood on the Azure Alliance’s side was not necessarily because her performance was too dazzling. She did not overshadow all the third generation of the nine great cultivation families, hence everyone was enraged.
Yun Feidian was not as arrogant and unruly as Lu Siya…
At least, not on the surface
He chose to obey the order of things.
As an “expert in unmanned combat system control,” he remained behind the scenes and assisted his parents as they rushed toward the monster mastermind.
Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise.
Lei Tianming, Zuo Tianling, Lu Zhongqi, Shen Yuanbao, and the other Deity Realm powerhouses of the first generation were all severely injured by the monster mastermind. While their strength plummeted, leaving them on the verge of death, Yun Feidian was unharmed. His combat strength was still at its peak.
That allowed him to have a greater say in the reconstruction after the war and the splitting of the monster civilization’s relics.
It was no wonder that the nine great noble cultivation families were facing their most severe challenge today. Most of the first-generation Deity Realm warriors had solemn expressions and felt agitated. Their words were like swords, and their spit flew everywhere as they spoke. Meanwhile, Yun Feidian, who was wearing a casual outfit consisting of a black wool turtleneck sweater and jeans, strolled about leisurely. He was flipping through an e-book with great interest, and when saw something amusing, he could not help but laugh out loud.
“Yun Feidian, what are you laughing at?”
Lei Tianming glared at him and immediately made a move.
His Soaring Dragon Corporation and the Yun family’s Thundercloud Technology had originally been strategic partners.
The latter, as a contractor, had undertaken the construction of a large number of automated defense systems for the forward base built by Soaring Dragon Corporation. The two sides were in a symbiotic relationship.
Lei Tianming and Yun Feidian’s father were old friends who had played together ever since they were children.
The collaboration of the two sides began decades ago, and their shares overlapped.
It was even rumored that “thunder” in “Thundercloud Technology” was inspired by Lei Tianming.
However, after Yun Feidian took over, he ignored the friendship between the older generation and seized 100% of the control of Thundercloud Technology through a series of exquisite means.
Then, he integrated the upstream and downstream industrial chains and proposed the concept of a “smart fortress.”
According to Yun Feidian’s idea, once Dragon City colonized the Other World in the future, there would be no need to send living human beings out to fight in a complex and dangerous environment.
His unmanned mining vehicles dug out the crystal ore veins directly from the underground and transported them to his unmanned smelting plant to extract high-purity energy blocks and various types of raw metal materials.
The monsters that were implanted with control chips and obeyed orders, as well as the drones and automated combat vehicles that carried the monsters’ neural network, were responsible for guarding the crystal ore mines, smelting factories, and construction sites on top of seizing more resource points.
As for the process of building the forward base, of course, there was no need for human participation. The smart runic machinery that possessed dozens of mechanical arms were a hundred times more efficient than human construction workers. They ran billions of calculations per second since they were controlled by a supercomputer.
Once the new generation of smart military fortresses was completed, all equipment would be remotely controlled. At most, they would require regular checking and replenishing.
Such military fortresses could cover a radius of at least a hundred miles and be firmly controlled. At the very least, they could put off the Other World natives’ resource points and the settlements within a radius of a hundred miles.
Just like that, without a single soldier, mankind could use the tactic of “fortress population” to continuously expand their living space until they occupied the entire Other World.
It seemed to be a beautiful solution.
Unfortunately, one of Soaring Dragon Corporation’s main businesses was the “overall construction and defense of the forward base.”
After working for decades, Lei Tianming had hundreds of well-trained and courageous construction teams under his command, and he could be considered the largest contractor in Dragon City.
How could he easily reinvent himself?
Times had changed. One was new and the other was old. Comparing the two construction models, Lei Tianming’s old method naturally appeared bloated and outdated.
Originally, the process of the Dragon City civilization’s expansion into the entire Other World had been a good opportunity for Soaring Dragon Corporation to build up its grand plans and soar to the sky.
At a critical moment, someone stabbed him in the back. The former gold-medal contractor had transformed into a competitor. Moreover, with Thundercloud Technology’s mighty reputation in the high-tech field, it had a huge chance of completely overwhelming Soaring Dragon Corporation from the start.
That was Lei Tianming’s experience. How could he be calm and laugh as he watched his children and nephews grow?
