Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1731: Chapter 1733: The Infrastructure Fanatic

Lu Xiaobu returned to the Blood Continent, and this time he appeared right next to Shi Yi and Shi Er in the periphery.

However, his sudden appearance didn’t catch the attention of Shi Yi and Shi Er at all.

At that moment, the two were staring ahead, dumbfounded.

Their minds were a bit muddled.

They even had a sense of time confusion.

”Brother, we just went out to the entrance, right?”

”Yeah, just went once!”

”How long was it?”

”We were a bit slow getting back, maybe two hours? Something like that!”

”Really?”

”I think so!”

”But, why has this place changed so much in just two hours?!”

”I don’t know either!”

Shi Yi and Shi Er exchanged bewildered glances.

Lu Xiaobu let them come back, but instead of coming right back, they observed for a while. Seeing Lu Xiaobu in no apparent danger, they started heading back.

The two brothers didn’t rush and walked back leisurely.

The result!

Upon return, the two of them stood there, stunned and motionless!

Because when they left, this place was just a huge heart-shaped core, with nothing else but barren land!

And now, that heart has vanished!

Not really vanished, but it was encased in a massive iron box. The left half was already completely constructed, while people were operating some unknown iron lumps on the right half, constantly sparking.

Moreover, the spot in front of the core, where Lu Xiaobu had opened the passageway, was no longer the same.

It was covered with large chunks of Steel, vaguely forming a circle for some unknown purpose!

Shi Yi and Shi Er were truly perplexed by the scene before them!

Could these people possess some special Divine Skills?

But it didn’t seem like it. These people were visibly weak; they saw many faint as soon as blood Qi overwhelmed them. Some were better but couldn’t last long!

Just like their initial impression—weak! Very weak! Too weak!

Yet this group of people, as weak as ants, managed to transform this place entirely in such a short time and were progressing rapidly!

”What, were you scared?”

Lu Xiaobu spoke up.

Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu’s sudden voice, both of them were startled again.

Seeing it was Lu Xiaobu, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”Young Master, how did it happen so fast! They’re just ordinary people!” Shi Yi swallowed hard and said, ”I was thinking that those huge iron lumps might be too heavy for them to lift, so I wanted to help. But then someone did something, and another iron lump lifted the heavy one!”

Shi Yi didn’t know how to describe those machines, so he just kept calling them iron lumps.

”Haha!” Lu Xiaobu laughed heartily. ”That’s called a Transport Machine, named Divine Hauler No. 9! It can haul around ten thousand tons or so!”

”Ten thousand tons?!” Shi Yi swallowed hard, feeling a bit awe-stricken.

One could imagine many able to unleash an attack power of ten thousand tons, but lifting ten thousand tons differs from delivering ten thousand tons of force.

One is instant attack power; the other is sustained output—worlds apart!

He never dreamed an iron lump could have such power!

”Yes, terrifying, right! The title of infrastructure madman is not just idle talk!” Lu Xiaobu laughed with some pride, though internally he felt a bit of awe too.

It had been stated before that this Blue Water Star and Earth’s original Technology tree had many distinct differences.

Especially here, there’s a strong focus on Energy study.

Before the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, people had already used instruments to detect Spiritual Energy with different Attributes.

So, in the aftermath of the Spiritual Energy resurgence, research in this area advanced rapidly. In just half a year, it seemed like another industrial revolution had occurred!

Spiritual Energy can now be utilized as a new energy source, not yet at civilian levels, but military and large industrial applications are basically achieved!

This led to the originally astounding speed of the Heavenly Dynasty, renowned for its infrastructure prowess, increasing exponentially once again!

Although they hadn’t fully analyzed the Spiritual Energy here, and couldn’t utilize it yet, it didn’t stop them from transporting it directly from the Heavenly Dynasty!

Though they couldn’t directly set up lines, nothing prevented legions of soldiers dressed in Exoskeleton Armor from carrying stored Energy here directly!

What does the Heavenly Dynasty have tons of? People!

When aiming to accomplish something nationally, the speed is unimaginable!

Speaking of which, the base of the receiving platform they had initially planned was already completely laid during their talk!

Next will be covering it with the top!

Shi Er murmured on the side, ”Could it be, the Demon Realm refers to this? Not individual combat strength? People fighting with iron lumps, lifting iron lumps? No, they can’t lift those iron lumps!”

Lu Xiaobu chuckled. For the Primitive Domain, whose civil customs are close to primordial, understanding these concepts is indeed challenging!

Lu Xiaobu didn’t offer an explanation but glanced again at the construction site before turning to the already completed research facilities nearby.

There he spotted familiar faces.

The Vajra girl Xiaoya and the Super Memory Syndrome kid Xiaozhi, who had mingled in the base earlier.

Now, these two were dressed in lab coats, surprisingly leading a group of researchers studying various subjects!

Lu Xiaobu intrigued, walked closer.

Elder Yu smilingly approached, seeing Lu Xiaobu watching Xiaozhi and the other. ”You don’t know yet, I guess.”

”Know what?” Lu Xiaobu puzzled, this was head-spinning.

”These two kids have become research group leaders, one for new mechanics research, and the other for Spiritual Energy Study!” Elder Yu laughingly explained, feeling quite proud.

Having watched these kids grow up and now achieving this milestone, he felt a sense of kids making him proud.

”Xiaoya indeed has talent regarding mechanics, but Xiaozhi...” Lu Xiaobu frowned slightly.

”Xiaozhi also awakened a superpower. We named it Mind Brain; this superpower lets him control his brain’s development level, coupled with his inherent Super Memory Syndrome, his brain is now more powerful than the planet’s most advanced computers!”

”Thus, any study he undertakes, even lacking the talent, he swiftly identifies the correct path, passing it to other researchers to study along his direction!”

Elder Yu sighed deeply, ”However, it’s very draining; we dare not let him use it excessively.”

”That’s impressive?!” Lu Xiaobu was astounded!
