Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1985: Extremely Rich
The speed of wealth accumulation in the industrial age is completely different from that in the agricultural age. Although there are also extraordinary forces with extremely strong productivity in this world, most of the time, people who run these industries do not make effective use of human wisdom.

It is difficult to release the huge productivity that these extraordinary powers can bring. The Shanhe Republic chooses to let everyone participate in production and let them work as free people. Instead of raising slaves like immortals, in order to ensure the absolute loyalty of slaves, they do not give them any future and hope.

So in just less than two years, the country's wealth accumulation reached a terrifying level.

The large number of wild animals mentioned earlier were hunted, and the materials obtained from the hunting have now all been utilized and refined into poisonous insects.

The head of the Zong family flipped through the information in his hand and saw that it mentioned that the Shanhe Republic inherited the legacy of a certain ancient strongman and mastered a technology that can divide the refining process into sections, so that multiple semi-finished products can be refined. Let people who are not skilled enough participate in the refining process, in this way to increase the success rate of refining and improve the efficiency of refining.

The number of people involved in this Gu refining industrial system has reached tens of millions, which means that the materials provided by the wild animals they hunt are not enough for their own use. Instead, they need to purchase large quantities of materials through trade.

The more the head of the Zong family looked at it, the more he envied it. This wealth was too huge. Even he could hardly eat it. The materials extracted from ordinary wild beasts were much cheaper than the Gu worms made from these materials. The difference might be dozens of times.

And according to the refining efficiency of the Shanhe Republic, I'm afraid that almost all the materials have been refined and transformed into a large number of poisonous insects. The wealth contained in them would probably take hundreds of years for even the main family to accumulate, not to mention the war weapons produced by the Shanhe Republic.

Bipedal mechas, machine guns, heavy artillery, etc. may not be very useful against top-level warriors, but they are still very effective against warriors at level 4 and below. Although they are much heavier than those of individual warriors, the advantage that ordinary people can operate them can completely make up for the difference in quality with quantity. If there is no clear advantage, the surrounding forces will not import so many.

After reading the intelligence in his hands in detail, the head of the Zong family finally made up his mind. Even if it means alarming the ancestors of the family, he must take action against the Shanhe Republic. If he waits until a fifth-level existence is born in this country, it will be troublesome.

Now that Shanhe Republic occupies such a huge territory and has such a large population, the production of Relic Gu will probably soar, and there will probably be some reserves of Amethyst Relic Gu. Once a rank five expert is born, he will be able to quickly push it to the peak of rank five.

The relic Gu is an extremely special Gu insect. There is almost no way to refine it artificially. It can only be bred naturally. Although it is more likely that people have not yet found a way to refine it, the fact that it has not been successfully refined for millions of years shows how difficult it is to refine this Gu insect artificially.

The breeding mechanism of this naturally bred Gu worm is very strange. The number of Gu worms bred depends on the popularity of the local area. That is, the more people there are, the more prosperous the civilization is, the more Relic Gu will be born in the local area, and the higher the quality will be.

Longevity Gu, like Relic Gu, also depends on the popularity of the local area. The larger the population and the more prosperous the civilization, the more Longevity Gu will be produced. However, this is also affected by God's will to a certain extent. For example, after the birth of the Venerable, the production of Longevity Gu will gradually decrease, and eventually the production of Longevity Gu in the whole world will not be enough to maintain the longevity of the Venerable.

There is no will of heaven to be born yet, and there is no way to make such a big interference. So it can be imagined that the Shanhe Republic has such a huge size and such a large population. The number of relic Gu bred within the civilization must also be large.

The special cultivation method they mastered allowed high-level practitioners to transfer their inner essence to low-level practitioners, which meant that if one fifth-turn peak practitioner was cultivated, a large number of fifth-turn peak practitioners would soon snowball.

It can be said that there will be no such shop after this village. After a moment of silence, the head of the clan decisively issued an order. Mobilize the masters of the whole clan to prepare to attack the Shanhe Republic. At the same time, the proclamation of the crusade also discovered the surrounding families.

As a superpower with immortals, their appeal is still very strong. The same superpower may not be able to call, but those small families without immortals are still willing to follow suit. After all, they have immortals behind them. Daring to start this war means that they are already invincible. A large number of family territories have been surrounded by the Shanhe Republic. Although they really don’t need those territories outside, the family does not have the ability to develop resources in such far areas. But all the roads for outward expansion are surrounded, which still makes them unhappy, and at the same time they are wary of the behemoths around them.

Now that someone is taking the lead and is willing to send a large army to encircle and suppress the Shanhe Republic, the surrounded families have raised their flags in response. Those families bordering the Shanhe Republic also have a large number of followers, and it seems that they will respond to the call of a hundred people.

When they besieged the Shanhe Republic before, there were only six families that united, and only their own family head had reached the fourth level.

But this time, under the call of the clan, more than 500 families in the surrounding areas actually united together. This number can be said to be very large. One-tenth of the families in Southern Xinjiang were mobilized. Although they were all small families without immortals, this war was still extremely grand, and it already had some feeling of the royal court battle that took place once every ten years in Beiyuan.

The forces of the five hundred families gathered together to form eighteen armies. The number of armies of the major families was too large. If they were to be completely gathered together, it would no longer be possible for their commanders to unify them. Not to mention that there were some conflicts between the major families. Some even had blood feuds. Just to provide logistical support for such a large number of people and maintain their daily needs, a commander of the era would be needed to be able to handle it.

Even if they were divided into eighteen armies, the strength displayed by each army was extremely terrifying.

The battle of Sanwang Mountain that Fang Yuan experienced in his previous life was for three fifth-level inheritances. It only attracted dozens of families. Although the two super families, Shangjia and Tiejia, participated in it, they only sent a few fifth-level combatants each. The degree of attention was actually limited. As for the existence of the ancestors, they didn't even take a second look at it. If Fang Yuan hadn't refined the Immortal Gu Dingxianyou in the original work, the immortals would not care about this level of resource competition.

In this siege, among the coalition forces formed by hundreds of families, the number of rank 1800 masters has reached more than . The Ni family has dispatched all six rank masters of the family, and other large and small families have mobilized rank masters, reaching as many as twelve people, including an extremely rare Zhidao Gu Master, who not only has strong personal combat power, but is also good at commanding. This person is Xun Zichuan from the newly rising Xun family. He is not only good at Zhidao, but also has practiced Nudao. He can turn beans into soldiers and travel across southern Xinjiang. He is a well-known emerging strongman of this era and is known as one of the strongmen in southern Xinjiang who is most likely to become an immortal in the future.

There is also a strong man who is good at strength. In this era, strength has gradually declined and the number of Gu Masters who are good at this field has decreased. It also means that the number of ancestors of this school has decreased. Without immortals who run the strength industry, the number of strength Gu insects has also greatly decreased, so that now it has formed a vicious cycle, and strength Gu Masters have become increasingly rare, and it has become increasingly difficult to produce strong ones.

But this path is ultimately the easiest one for low-level Gu Masters.

The cost of cultivation is quite low, so even in this declining era, several powerful people can still be born. Those who can reach the fifth level through this path are undoubtedly extremely talented people.

Xu Heyuan was a leader among them. He had trained his body to the extreme. It was said that his arms could generate tens of thousands of tons of force, and he controlled the force in a very detailed manner. It was said that he once lifted a small mountain with his bare hands and threw it thousands of meters away. He smashed the master who wanted to challenge him by taking advantage of his own advantages into a pulp.

The other masters also have their own unique skills. Maybe not as amazing as these two. But they are definitely not something that can be dealt with by conventional weapons. No one is simple at the fifth level, after all, if you go one step further, you will become an immortal.

Shanhe Republic had already mobilized when these people began to plot. The major families were able to send undercover agents to the interior of Shanhe Republic. Shanhe Republic would naturally send undercover agents to the outside as well.

Moreover, compared to the major families, under their system, the agents who perform this special mission have all been professionally trained, whether in acting or intelligence gathering. They are all professional-level, and their intelligence capabilities are actually much stronger than those of the major families. When they began to mobilize each other, the intelligence was already in front of Lan Nuo.

In his opinion, this was indeed the time when he was at his weakest. The major families picked the most appropriate time to launch the attack. This caused him considerable trouble. The first five-year plan had already been halfway through. If the first five-year plan was continued, the Shanhe Republic could be completely industrialized. And if the villages in rural areas were merged, the domestic productivity would be greatly improved, the number of top powerhouses would increase rapidly, and even immortals might be born.

Facing a war at this time would undoubtedly greatly slow down the development of the Shanhe Republic, and would also arouse the vigilance of immortal-level beings.

However, since they have decided to take this bottom-up path, they cannot be timid in the face of challenges. After analyzing the intelligence, the top leaders of the Shanhe Republic unanimously decided to mobilize the whole country to win the war in the shortest possible time and strive for a longer development time. As for the immortals they might face, they are also ready.

Even if faced with an almost invincible existence, the entire Republic is prepared to fight a protracted war.

If the whole country were to be mobilized to build such a behemoth, the resulting commotion would be extremely terrifying. The industrial system, which was originally inclined towards production, construction and development, would rapidly transform towards the military industry.

Factories that originally produced various types of water pipes are now pushing batches of gun barrels and cannon barrels off the production line. Factories that produce high-pressure steel cylinders have begun to change their process flow to produce shell casings one after another.

Chemical plants and poison factories worked together to produce various types of explosives. Trucks carrying large amounts of munitions drove towards various military bases. Militiamen from all over the country were mobilized to lead local people to start digging underground fortifications to ensure that every village had its own underground shelter. The depth had to be more than 50 meters, and there had to be a reinforced concrete layer of more than five meters above as protection, to ensure that even a range attack from an immortal could not kill the people hiding in the underground shelter.

Those fat and strong wild beasts that were captured and collectively raised were pinned down and unable to move with a set of restraints. Then the workers skillfully cut open the back of their necks with knives and installed control chips in their nerve centers.

Since the Shanhe Republic has developed the way of being a commander, it will naturally develop the way of being a slave at the same time. However, they do not rely on powerful souls to enslave wild beasts. Most of the time, they rely on chips installed in the nerve center to control them. As long as a signal is output to the chip, the corresponding current can be output. Under the stimulation of the corresponding current, training can make these beasts obey orders as if they were obeying their own king.

For this purpose, the people who command these beasts have also developed a special killing move called hormone secretion. By releasing pheromones, they can make these beasts mistake them for their leaders and naturally obey their commands.

Only a few people would choose to strengthen their souls and lead in relatively traditional ways. Even those who do so would only lead a very small number of wild beasts in the herd. After all, the development of the soul path is too inhumane. Even if it is possible to extract the souls of various meat animals from large-scale livestock breeding near slaughterhouses to supply cultivation, the number of soul path powerhouses that can be cultivated is very limited.

In comparison, it is more cost-effective to use chips for control. Under the condition of artificial breeding and feeding, the size of the herd is also easier to maintain. Under the premise of artificial insemination, the reproduction rate of these living beasts is so fast that it makes the wild herds ashamed.
