The regression mode is rely a simulation, naturally impossible to present the entire Corpse Demon World to Chu Xiu. The world beyond the gray wall is estimated to be nothing but void chaos.
Chu Xiu silently calculated in his heart; the simulation’s boundary is approximately centered on the shelter with a radius of about 300 km. That is to say, even if he carries a backup strategy of escaping by one-tenth, it might not be enough to evade the enemy’s pursuit for thirty days.
By then, he would only be able to rely on the Celestial Dragon Golden Pill in tandem with the Ghostly Legion to fight a long-term war of attrition.
Even if victory is eventually achieved, the cost will inevitably be extrely tragic, a decision Chu Xiu made out of necessity.
"This is not good..."
He glanced at the map, and now within the boundary, only two bases remain.
Chu Xiu also vaguely realized a fact.
"This base seems to be the last fire of humanity..."
Although this idea has no basis, it is a bit of Chu Xiu’s intuition. After all, this trial traces back to previous historical nodes, and the Abyss also needs to conserve energy, so the possibility of matching the end period of human civilization is extrely high!
He looked at Aurora, who was frowning and seed lost in thought, and said, "If the remaining two bases still have no ammunition supplies, what do you plan to do?"
Chu Xiu’s words seed to interrupt Aurora’s thoughts, and she snapped back to reality: "Then we can only try to bring back as much raw material as possible. In my King Tier Class Bonus, there is a [chanical Overload] skill, which can greatly enhance the work efficiency of any machinery for a short period, allowing so ammunition to be rushed out."
Chu Xiu said, "This skill seems to impose a heavy burden on the body."
Aurora nodded: "Yes, to maintain the high-speed operation of the machinery, I need to transfer the heat from the [Overload] machinery onto myself, otherwise, the temperature could lt steel directly."
"In fact, I have already designed a special cooling chamber at the center of the Titan Giant chanism, allowing to [Overload] the entire Titan Giant chanism when necessary. Unfortunately, the design is not yet perfect. The Titan Giant chanism is too massive. In a previous test, I could barely endure only seventeen seconds of [Overload]."
Chu Xiu seed interested: "Is this what you refer to as a domain?"
"Yes," Aurora nodded, "The Titan Giant chanism has many offensive ans, such as the flathrower, thermal fusion gun, electromagnetic cannon, etc. These do not rely on conventional gunpowder, particularly the electromagnetic cannon, which only needs a power supply. I have set up solar power generation, geothermal power generation, etc. If it can be completely built, even if our ammunition is depleted, it could still resist the attack of the Blood Demon."
"Unfortunately, most of the Titan Giant chanism’s core components require extrely high physical strength, which is beyond the industrial level of the base city and must rely on the chanician’s power, personally forging using Cause and Effect Points, which is why I borrowed Cause and Effect Points from others in the base."
Aurora seed a bit embarrassed by her actions.
However, her words made Chu Xiu look at her in a new light. The Titan Giant chanism’s construction must have been started at least a decade ago. To foresee the deterioration of the future exploration environnt and advance such a massive plan so early on shows her foresight and mobilization ability.
"If enough electromagnetic cannons can be built, then there would be no worry over ammunition, but unfortunately, only fourteen are barely usable at present." Aurora sighed softly.
The electromagnetic cannon can launch the most ordinary tal cannonball as long as it can handle the ablation problem; the material is extrely difficult to construct, which was a major challenge in the previous world’s electromagnetic cannon research. Relying solely on this girl’s extraordinary abilities to forge up to fourteen is already impressive.
However, Chu Xiu was intrigued.
This problem... I might have a solution.
Chu Xiu thought for a mont and said, "I do have so knowledge of the Artifact Refining Technique, maybe I can help you strengthen it."
Upon hearing this, Aurora was initially taken aback, then said, "Really? Mr. Chu, you can forge? This is great news!"
Although her tone was surprised, there wasn’t much expectation in her eyes, obviously not taking Chu Xiu’s words too seriously.
The gap between different professions is vast; although Chu Xiu is honored as a "Heroic Spirit," he is clearly a combat-type profession. At best, he might enhance the physical strength of the steel by so degree, but the electromagnetic cannon requires not just physical strength, but also conductivity, strong magnetic generation, which are all challenges!
Chu Xiu didn’t say much, rely maneuvering the Flying Corpse, continuing to fly toward the ninth base.
Half an hour later, the four approached the location marked on the map.
Originally, no one held much hope, but as they approached, they all simultaneously displayed expressions of surprise!
What drew them in was the anti-aircraft stronghold atop the mountain, where over a dozen anti-aircraft turrets were orderly distributed around a peak, each well-maintained and powered, clearly soone had been maintaining them over a long period.
Aurora let out a sigh of relief, and her eyes brightened again: "This is the largest base near us, no less superior to ours. It seems it hasn’t been breached, and the loss of contact is likely due to communication system damage."
"I know the person in charge of this base, so if all goes well, we might not only get a large supply of ammunition but possibly also manpower reinforcent!"
Aurora spoke excitedly.
Understanding the interconnected fate of each base, as a base leader, she is confident she can persuade the other party to exert all efforts to help them!
However, Chu Xiu gazed at the distant base and slightly frowned.
This base... sothing seems off!
