Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

"Hehe, interesting, these mechanisms are quite ingeniously designed."

"I wonder which expert set this up."

Jiang Chen looked down and saw arrows falling at his feet.

It turned out that Jiang Chen had come prepared.

Mechanized armor plates were installed on the torso and limbs.

In case of an emergency.

You can immediately switch to battle mode.

This is also the source of his confidence to come alone.

What surprised Jiang Chen the most were these mechanisms.

He was, after all, a war god of the elite soldier level.

The jungle was his most familiar battlefield.

The result was that he ended up in the environment he was most comfortable with.

They fell into traps one after another, and if they hadn't been prepared in advance...

They are probably dead by now.

It is clear that the people of the Dragon Kingdom stationed here are indeed extraordinary.

He's quite capable.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on our territory alone?"

at this time.

A group of people dressed in camouflage and carrying weapons appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

Surround him.

Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised to learn that these people were also from China.

Isn't it said that all the local residents are from Southeastern State?

"Leave immediately. This is the first warning, and the last."

These people had a murderous look in their eyes.

Just a look.

Jiang Chen could tell they were no ordinary people.

They must be well-trained and skilled.

"I am Jiang Chen, and I'm here to see your tribe's chief. I've heard he's also from the Dragon Kingdom."

"Lead the way, you few alone."

"If I want to make a move, you will all be corpses in a second."

Jiang Chen said calmly.

Without wasting any words.

Upon hearing this, everyone was visibly taken aback.

This person was actually Jiang Chen.

I almost didn't recognize her.

Although they are in the southeastern state, from a certain perspective...

Indirectly opposing Jiang Chen.

But that doesn't mean they don't know how powerful Jiang Chen is.

They had clearly seen the scene of Jiang Chen being hit by an arrow.

He was completely unharmed.

Clearly, this person was prepared.

They should be wearing the protective armor from the space city.

With their strength, they really couldn't do anything to Jiang Chen.

"So it was Commander Jiang Chen. I didn't expect him to come in person this time."

"You didn't even bring the troops?"

The squad leader looked slightly surprised.

No one can remain calm in front of Jiang Chen.

No matter how strong your mental fortitude is.

"Lead the way. You should understand that my patience is limited."

"Since I've come here in person, you all know what that means."

Upon hearing this, the squad leader said no more.

He nodded slightly.

If Huanglong were to come, the two sides could still manage to negotiate.

Continue to delay.

But when Jiang Chen arrived in person, the situation was completely different.

It has to be said that this place really surprised Jiang Chen.

The roads crisscross, and caves are everywhere.

A quick glance with the naked eye reveals no fewer than twenty holes.

As for those hidden entrances, there are quite a few of them.

There are probably as many as forty or fifty such places in total.

There are also nearly forty narrow paths.

This is truly extraordinary.

No wonder Huanglong, despite his superior equipment, was unable to deal with these few hundred people.

This place is riddled with traps and mechanisms; although their construction is primitive, their destructive power should not be underestimated.

More importantly, the leaders here are extremely adept at adapting to local conditions.

What may seem like a simple technique could be nothing more than child's play to others.

However, it truly left a large number of people helpless.

Jiang Chen and the others stopped in front of a sky bridge.

The two mountain peaks are connected by iron chains, forming a suspension bridge.

The iron chain is over 100 meters long, and the sight is breathtaking.

Such a magnificent structure could be found in this primeval jungle.
It's as if a scene from a fantasy world has been recreated, with a magnificent and imposing atmosphere.

If Li Bai were here, he would probably be inspired to write poetry and compose a poem.

"Did you build this bridge? The craftsmanship is truly exquisite."

"It doesn't appear that high-tech methods were used."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly, a sense of doubt rising in his heart.

Without the support of modern technology, even a 100-meter-long iron cable would be incredibly heavy.

How exactly are they connected and secured?
Moreover, there are two iron chains running parallel to each other.

The iron chains were simply wrapped with huge stones at their joints.

But Jiang Chen quickly discovered the secret behind it.

The iron chains were not only stabilized by the boulders,

It also utilizes other ingenious principles.

The binding method at the connection point is quite unique.

Besides the boulders, several trees were also bypassed.
A hook-and-loop-like device was also installed under the tree.

In conclusion, although advanced industrial technology was not adopted,
It creates a sense of solidity and reliability using only primitive methods.
Regardless of wind and rain or the erosion of time

Both of these iron chains are difficult to break and are capable of supporting a large number of people passing through.

"Commander Jiang Chen has a keen eye; he saw the ingenuity of the iron chain at a glance."

"However, you probably don't fully understand the real secrets behind it."

"This is a design created by our leader, and only he knows the full principles behind it."

"But there's one thing I can reveal," the squad leader said with a smile, seeing Jiang Chen deep in thought.

"The weight of these two iron chains actually depends on the entire mountain."

"In other words, to disable the iron chains,"

"Unless both mountains are completely destroyed."

"Otherwise, no matter how many people pass through, the iron chain will never collapse."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was greatly surprised.

This leader is an exceptionally talented individual.

He was still unclear about some details just now.
But then everything became clear.

It turns out that the two mountain peaks were not only the anchor points for the iron chains,
It also bears the main load-bearing function.

The iron chains were not only wrapped around boulders and tree hooks,
It is deeply embedded inside the mountain.

It is closely connected to the core of the rock strata.

Theoretically speaking, only when the weight exceeds the sum of the two mountain peaks,
Only then could the iron chain break.

In other words, not only is the passage of people unimpeded,

Even airplanes, tanks, and heavy machinery.

All of them can be transported via this iron chain.

"If my guess is correct, your tribe should have its own military factory."

Jiang Chen spoke calmly, glancing at the squad leader as he awaited confirmation.

“You’re right, that’s true. We have a large military factory.”

"Possesses highly modernized and automated production capabilities,"

"Advanced weapons can be manufactured in large numbers without requiring a large workforce."

"However, for us, the more important significance of weapons lies in their development rather than their use."

"For specific details, please discuss them directly with the leader in person."

"I believe he would be very happy to see you."

The iron chain has a smooth surface and a distance of 100 meters.
It took Jiang Chen about ten minutes to get to the other side.

Everything went exactly as he had predicted.

Upon entering this mountainous area, one sees a network of crisscrossing roads and numerous paths.

The number of caves is equally astonishing, clearly indicating that the tribal inhabitants lived in these caves.

Even that military factory must be hidden inside the mountain.

It seems this tribe has completely hollowed out the core area inside the mountain.
That's how the facilities were built to their current scale.

"Commander Jiang Chen, to be honest,"

"We have clashed with the Southeastern State army many times. Each time they launched a major offensive, they couldn't even reach Iron Chain Peak."

"They're trapped on the outskirts."

"You're the first person to get here."

The captain chuckled softly, and Jiang Chen nodded slightly in response.

Take a careful look around at the surroundings.

The entire layout is ingenious, preserving the original features while...

It also incorporates modern elements.
As if they were one with nature.
It is truly breathtaking.

"Now I understand why you'd rather bear the pressure."

"We must also remain here, free from jurisdiction."

"If my guess is correct, you have been secretly mining a large amount of resources."

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and said calmly.

Besides the terrain features, he was more concerned about the local environment.

On the surface, this area appears unremarkable.

It doesn't look like a place rich in mineral resources.

But Jiang Chen noticed a detail: the terrain here was damp.

Most areas are abnormally humid.
Only a few areas remain dry.

This indicates that the region contains abundant mineral resources.
However, their distribution is rather scattered.

This is likely the main reason why the space city's FAST telescope system failed to detect it.

Although the total amount of resources is considerable

However, the dispersed nature of the region led the system to classify it as a secondary area.

When the Divine Eye system scans Blue Star,
Only resource-intensive areas will be included in the primary archives.

Scattered mineral veins like these are classified as secondary files.

Unless the space city faces a resource crisis,
Otherwise, the development plan for the secondary archives will not be initiated.

Jiang Chen deduced that this area was within the Divine Eye System.

It was precisely because it was classified as a secondary resource area,
Therefore, it had never attracted attention before.

"It seems the Divine Eye System urgently needs an upgrade."

"Otherwise, more and more will slip through the net."

Jiang Chen smiled calmly.

This area is indeed rich in resources.

It's just that it has a wide distribution range.

"Hehe, this is a top secret of the tribe."

"Even I have limited knowledge."

"Please discuss the specific details with the leader in person."

Passing through the cave entrance, one can see that many troops are stationed there.

They were as comfortable as the locals.
Although armed and on guard, they appeared relaxed.
They have clearly settled here for a long time.

When everyone saw their captain appear with an unfamiliar face...
They all looked surprised.

Upon learning that the visitor was none other than Commander-in-Chief Jiang Chen of Space City,
They were even more shocked.

They rushed to the depths of the cave to report.

Before long, Jiang Chen arrived at the middle section of the cave.

This place is not narrow; on the contrary, it feels spacious.
It connects multiple cave branches.

The structure, built with modern technology, is sturdy and reliable.

The higher-ups inside the cave were clearly aware of Jiang Chen's arrival.
A welcoming ceremony had already been arranged.

The troops lined up in armed formation inside the cave.

The arrangements were very thoughtful.

Jiang Chen soon arrived at the deepest part of the cave.

Two enormous, open doors appeared before them.

A man in a Zhongshan suit stood quietly at the door to greet them.

His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's.

Their clothing, however, was simple and unadorned.

Those eyes exuded a dangerous, serpentine aura.
It also carried a hint of gentleness.

In short, just a glance...

Jiang Chen immediately understood that the person in front of him was no ordinary person and was extremely extraordinary.

No wonder they have the audacity to openly confront Space City and even the entire Southeast State.

They barely managed to survive in this area.

They are not like other tribes.

They possess a large population and vast territory, and are equipped with sophisticated and advanced weaponry.

This small tribe can be described as having an extremely ingenious layout.

Furthermore, its internal system is complete and comprehensive.

This suggests that they are likely secretly preparing for a major operation.

At the very least, their goals and the scope of their ambitions are certainly not small.

It's hard to imagine that there are such people in the Dragon Kingdom who can run their businesses to such an extent in this place.

"You must be Commander Jiang Chen of Space City. I've long admired your name."

Upon seeing Jiang Chen, the other party stepped forward and shook hands with him.

He remained calm throughout.

It was almost indifferent.

He did not show any humility towards Jiang Chen, nor did he show any fear.

It's as natural as eating and drinking every day.

He gives off a serious and taciturn vibe.

Moreover, he is significantly older than Jiang Chen.

They are probably between thirty-five and forty years old.

“My name is Liang Zhenshan, and I am the chief of this tribe.”

"Commander Jiang Chen has come in person today."

“I think we can have a serious talk about future planning for the Southeastern border.”

Hearing what the other party said, Jiang Chen nodded slightly.

Both sides quickly took their seats at the conference table.

When true masters clash, every move they make conceals a hidden edge.

There's no need to waste time on unnecessary pleasantries and superficial formalities.

They both understood each other without saying a word.

The discussion should now focus on the key issues.

Other irrelevant matters are not within the scope of discussion.

At this moment, Jiang Chen naturally had other plans in mind.

"The military factory and so many tunnels must have been opened up by machinery."

"Furthermore, there was a training ground at the foot of the mountain, and the city walls were also built very solidly."

“I also noticed a few resource development zones, even though your total number of people is not large.”

"But it is possible to introduce such advanced technology and processes into the deep mountains."

"I truly admire how well everything has been developed."

Jiang Chen met the other person's sharp eyes, which carried a dangerous aura.

Both of them knew that the other was not someone to be trifled with.

Therefore, neither side showed the slightest sign of backing down.

This seemed like a head-on clash between two top-tier powerhouses.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was even more convinced that Liang Zhenshan harbored extraordinary ambitions.

Moreover, he originally tried to advance his plans discreetly.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen eventually discovered their whereabouts.

"You seem to be planning something. Can you tell me something about it?"

"We are all Chinese, and we usually keep to ourselves."

“I believe there are some areas where we can work together, and many people have been willing to cooperate with me before.”

"We shouldn't become enemies, but friends. What do you think?"

Liang Zhenshan calmly lit a cigarette, his expression unchanged.

“You’re only partly right; we do have our own plans.”

"But we are also prepared to be discovered by you, and even to engage in a firefight."

"Because I knew long ago that one day you, Jiang Chen, would come knocking on my door."

“You will not tolerate the existence of any thorn in your side throughout the entire Southeast State.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen smiled gently.

The other party seemed to understand the situation quite well.

He doesn't seem like the kind of reckless and brainless person.

Jiang Chen didn't really care what they were planning.

He simply felt that this person was indeed exceptionally capable.

After all, they were able to build such a modern industrial system in the deep mountains and forests.

Jiang Chen wondered what would happen if he were in that situation.

It's probably difficult for them to reach the level of Liang Zhenshan.

The Dragon Kingdom is indeed a land of hidden talents.

There are always wise people hiding in the world.

At this moment, Jiang Chen once again deeply understood this point.

No one should be underestimated.

"The topic of our negotiations today is very clear."

"It means separating this area from Southeast State and putting it under my full control."

"What conditions will Commander Jiang Chen propose?" (End of Chapter)
