I can find treasures in my dreams.

After quickly browsing through all the mission information on the Spirit Vision interface, Gabamuda turned to look at Guo Nannan beside him and earnestly advised, "Mr. Guo, this mission is indeed quite dangerous."

"The target is a powerful monster at the knight level. It seems to be very good at ambushes, and there could be casualties if you are not careful. You are currently in a critical period of condensing your Yuan Qi, so there is really no need to take this risk. It is best not to participate in this mission."

According to the operational procedures of the pioneering city, after the mission information is released, the task force usually has a five-minute buffer period to familiarize themselves with the intelligence, check their equipment, and make final preparations before setting off.

The crimson alarm lights were still flashing, giving the two a brief moment to communicate.

Guo Nannan smiled faintly upon hearing this and casually said, "Appropriate participation in actual combat can accelerate the condensation of Yuan Gang."

"Because life-or-death battles can not only temper one's inner strength and stimulate it to sublimate into primordial energy, but also help one comprehend the various wonders of primordial energy. This is an experience summarized by many civilizations."

He paused, then suddenly changed the subject: "Besides, the Human Alliance recently granted me a very interesting special weapon. With it in hand, even if I face a knight-level monster, the danger isn't actually that high."

The "special weapon" mentioned in this sentence is one of the many spoils of war that the Azure Civilization recently obtained from the Sunken Abyss.

Gabamuda's metallic pupils flashed, and his tone carried obvious surprise: "Oh? It seems that the power of this weapon must be quite astonishing."

Guo Nannan simply smiled and did not offer any further explanation.

Gabamuda didn't press the matter, but silently sighed to himself, "The Azure People's new weapons are truly endless!"

As a civilization observer permanently stationed on Azure Star, he does not stay on Azure Star year-round. Instead, he returns to Ironfist Civilization every three months, rests for a month, and then goes back to Azure Star.

After all, the world gates of Azure Star and Ironfist Mother Star are not far apart. In addition, the Azure people, with their powerful combat strength, have cleared out almost all the Black Sand Sea monsters around the two world gates, establishing a sand passage with extremely high safety.

For the Azure Civilization, this was just a matter of "going with the flow".

This was something the Ironfist Civilization never dared to dream of, but one day it was easily achieved with the help of its allies.

Today, a round trip between the two World Gates takes only fifteen minutes, making "transportation" extremely convenient.

Every time Gabamda returned to Azure Star from the Iron Fist World, he would find that the Azure Civilization had equipped itself with a new batch of weapons, and the frequency of weapon upgrades was astonishing.

In contrast, the Iron Fist Army only receives a new batch of weapons every year, and the number of weapons received is less than one-tenth of that of the Azure People.

After a while.

"Click——"

A very faint mechanical clicking sound came from the dome of the assembly room.

Immediately afterwards, a beam of shimmering white light pierced through the hidden compartment in the ceiling and condensed into a semi-transparent holographic number in mid-air.

"30!"

The countdown to the operation has begun.

"29!"

"28!"

Including Guo Nannan and Gabamuda, the thirty-six soldiers of Task Force 117 quickly and spontaneously lined up to form a standard combat formation.

Meanwhile, the soldiers began a final check, confirming that all modules of the armor were functioning properly, and that weapons were in their usual positions, etc.

"Keng! Keng!"

Gabamuda drew two gleaming silver greatswords.

This is his usual weapon.

Over the past decade or so, he has changed his armor three times and upgraded the weapons that go with it several times, but the greatsword has always been his "standard equipment".

Gabamuda glanced at the wolf head emblem engraved on the hilt of the greatsword through his spiritual vision, his expression somewhat complicated.

This is the logo of Sirius Precision Group on Azure Star, and this company is one of the many enterprises under the control of the richest man in the Human Alliance.

For a long time, the Ironfist civilization was proud of its mastery of manufacturing cold weapons. Using the same materials, the weapons made by the Ironfist people were no less than those of some powerful civilizations.

But things started to change six years ago.

Sirius Corporation has developed a supernatural manufacturing process called "Spirit Flame Light Forging".

Weapons made in this way can maximize the power contained in the exotic materials, thereby enhancing the weapon's power to the extreme.

At that time, Sirius Corporation held a grand promotional event, inviting representatives from various civilizations to participate.

Gabamuda was also one of the VIPs who received the invitation.

The invitation stated that "this is a groundbreaking new technology," and Iron Fist Warrior initially thought it was just a marketing tactic by the Azure People business and wasn't very interested in participating.

However, in order to expand his network, he still attended the promotional event.

As a result, Gabamuda was greatly surprised.

He used Sirius Corporation's weapons and unleashed the Ironfist Clan's signature combat technique, the Thousand-Instant Shock, whose power was actually 20% greater than that of his own weapons.

The former required 10% less exotic materials to forge than the latter.

Faced with this undeniable fact, Gabamuda's pride shattered, and he finally understood the weight of the words "epoch-making".

Since then, Ironfist Civilization has begun ordering weapons from Sirius Corporation.

Initially, only small batches were produced, but due to the exceptionally positive feedback, various clans eagerly expressed their desire to purchase more Sirius weapons.

The procurement volume increased year by year, and last year, Iron Fist Civilization purchased more than 30 million Sirius weapons.

This is only because Sirius Corporation's production capacity is insufficient; otherwise, the procurement volume could have been several times higher, reaching 100 million units.

on the other hand.

The two giant swords before us are enough to demonstrate how deeply the Ironfist Civilization is dependent on the Azure Civilization.

If the Azure Civilization loses its ally, the Ironfist Civilization's strength will instantly drop significantly.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

The moment the last number disappeared.

"Boom--!"

A deep, ethereal chime suddenly echoed through the assembly room.

In the very center of the assembly room floor, a pale blue spatial ripple suddenly spread out, like a pebble thrown into a lake.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a phantom crystal disc with a diameter of three meters quickly appeared at the center of the ripples.

The disc shimmered with a pure white luster, with twelve evenly distributed diamond-shaped markings along its edge. Each marking was engraved with different strange runes, which lit up like dancing stars. Overall, it resembled a starry sky dial suspended above the ground, exuding an aura of mystery.

"boom!"

A sudden, illusory clap of thunder boomed. The sound traveled directly into the souls of all the warriors, causing them to momentarily lose their focus and their thoughts to slow down considerably.

This is the result of mental power being interfered with by a powerful supernatural force.

Gabamuda struggled to calm himself, staring intently at the crystal disc with his metallic eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment and awe.

The Iron Fist Warrior knew perfectly well that the disc was the short-range jump device that Pioneer City had officially deployed just two months ago.

Its name is—Light Shuttle Spirit Clock.

According to Gabamda's understanding, the Light Shuttle Clock was developed based on the spatial hub technology of the interface transfer island.

This powerful space instrument was first developed three years ago.

Because the Azure Civilization lacks suitable "gatekeepers"—that is, ability users who have mastered rare spatial abilities and whose strength must reach the warrior level, otherwise their souls cannot withstand the spatial pressure—they have been unable to activate them for a long time.

of course.

It's not that the Azure Civilization truly lacks even one candidate; Mr. Ghost and Mr. Raven definitely have the ability.

However, given their status as powerful figures, how could they possibly stay in Kaituo City and do such menial work all day long?
Until two months ago, a gatekeeper of the Azure Civilization finally broke through the first barrier and successfully passed the "Clockkeeper" test, and the Light Shuttle Spirit Clock was officially put into use.

However, the personal information of the person who holds the bell is an absolute secret. Gabamda only knows that such a person exists, and knows nothing else about him.

The Iron Fist Warrior also knew that although the Light Shuttle Spirit Clock was called a "near-distance" teleportation device, its maximum teleportation distance actually reached 200 kilometers.

According to rumors, with continuous improvements and optimizations to the device, the teleportation distance is expected to increase to 500 kilometers or even more in the future.

The significance of the light shuttle clock is self-evident for any civilized world.

for instance.

If an anomaly suddenly occurs in an area 100 kilometers away from the Gate of the World, it could pose a threat to the Gate of the World.

The civilization will send personnel to investigate, which will take at least several hours.

If severe weather prevents operation, the Gate to the World must be closed immediately to ensure its safety, and reopened after a few days or longer.

The time spent waiting is undoubtedly a waste.

Now, the Azure Civilization possesses the Light Shuttle Spirit Clock, enabling a rapid response that can "respond immediately upon detecting anomalies and arrive at the target area in as little as one minute," greatly shortening emergency response time and maximizing the security of the Gate of the World.

His main reason for choosing to participate in the mission was to experience the Light Shuttle Spirit Clock firsthand.

Gabamu stared at the strange runes flowing across the illusory dial, his envy almost overflowing, wishing he could pack it up and take it back with him.

Just one second later.

Guo Nannan's calm and clear voice reached the ears of every soldier through the encrypted combat channel:

"Attention all personnel, the jump is about to begin. The target is highly mobile and capable of ambush. Upon entering area 126, immediately deploy defensive formations and be prepared for any sudden attacks!"

"understand!"

The thirty-five responses were perfectly synchronized.

As the renowned "Many-Child Immortal Venerable" of the Canglan Civilization, Guo Nannan was naturally the commander of the special task force.

It is worth mentioning that the Azure Civilization of today no longer relies on the traditional model of "veterans passing on their skills and knowledge" to train commanders.

After entering the era of the Human Alliance, under the leadership of the Human Alliance, the Azure Civilization spent more than ten years of effort, invested a huge amount of manpower and resources, and applied tens of thousands of cutting-edge technologies to successfully develop a super simulation training system called "Spirit Realm Battlefield".

This system can be called the "cradle of commanders" for Azure, and is one of the core achievements of the civilization's technological explosion.

The super database of the Spirit Realm Battlefield contains more than 8.6 million real battle cases since the Azure Civilization ventured into the Primordial World.

From low-level superhuman squads clearing monsters in collective operations to peak duels between knight-level powerhouses, from combat in the complex terrain of Azure Star to sudden battles in various primordial perilous places, the environmental details and monster habits of each battle are reproduced with extremely high realism.

Users only need to wear a "spiritual sensing device" to connect their mind to the virtual battlefield constructed by the system, and experience one high-intensity battle after another with the closest degree to the real world.

In this environment, users who die in battle can be "resurrected" and quickly accumulate experience through life-and-death trials, growing into qualified warriors or commanders at the fastest speed.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Spirit Realm Battlefield has completely overturned the military training model of the Azure Civilization.

Battlefield experience that used to take decades to accumulate can now be mastered by the new generation of warriors in just a few months of training in the Spirit Realm.

Excellent commanders, once scarce, are now emerging like mushrooms after rain.

"Bam—!"

A deep, resonant sound suddenly rang out.

The illusory crystal dial suspended in mid-air suddenly shattered, turning into countless shimmering white light spots that scattered in all directions.

The light spots, as if drawn by an invisible force, spread wildly at a visible speed, instantly engulfing the entire assembly room.

Everyone felt a tremor in their souls and a slight dizziness in their minds.

next second.

The countless spots of light transformed into a super torrent, rushing wildly backward.

"Ugh——!"

A howling wind suddenly filled my ears.

At the same time, a dry, rough smell of sand quietly entered the "nasal cavity".

This is not a real sense of smell, but rather the armor's olfactory simulation function at work.

In short, the sensors capture environmental data such as sand particle composition and air humidity in real time, convert them into precise neural impulse signals, and transmit them directly to the olfactory center of the soldier's brain.

The practicality of this function is self-evident. In the perilous battlefield, the sense of smell can often capture key signals that are missed by sight and hearing. Soldiers can also accurately perceive changes in the environment without being exposed to potentially dangerous substances.

A moment later.

The torrent of light-dappled water receded like the tide.

A vast world filled with sandstorms suddenly appeared in the spiritual vision interface of all the warriors.

Countless dark sands swept past, completely obscuring the morning sunlight, while distant sand dunes appeared and disappeared in the sandstorm.

Despite being exposed to the sand and gravel, the armor surface showed no signs of wear and tear and made no sound whatsoever.

Because the armor activated a flexible protective field, the flying sand was subjected to an invisible repulsive force, causing its direction to deflect instantly and grazing past the armor.

Because there was no sound, even if monsters were hiding beneath the nearby sand, they could not pinpoint the warriors' location by sound.

It is these seemingly insignificant yet ingenious "small technologies" that, like building blocks, transform the Tiangong Armor into an indestructible mobile fortress, greatly improving its survival rate in extreme environments.

Guo Nannan blinked and immediately saw a large amount of data through the command interface of the Spirit Vision helmet. (End of this chapter)
