Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

—Although it is unknown how they persuaded Kujo Takayuki.

Jiang Ming met with the envoy of the Fools. The envoy was very respectful, but he was completely unaware of any of the questions Jiang Ming asked.

"I think it is necessary to remind you that your actions have caused serious obstacles for us. We reserve the right to take necessary actions and hope that you will give this full consideration."

During the meeting, Jiang Ming warned the Fools, but they continued to feign ignorance.

"Lord Jiang Ming, you must provide evidence for your words. What actions have we, the Fools, taken?"

"Were you the ones supplying the weapons and equipment to the Shogunate army? Were you the ones instigating the bombardment of Fujito Fortress? And where did all those people who were used as expendable resources go? Don't tell me it has nothing to do with you, the Fools."

“You are truly prescient, knowing all along what I was going to say. These things really have nothing to do with us. In fact, I had no idea about these things you were talking about, but I personally feel regret and shock.”

Jiang Ming took a deep breath and stared at the Fools' messengers before him.

"So, the factory on Bayun Island really has nothing to do with you anymore. That makes things easier."

The messenger of the Fools was taken aback.

"What factory?"

"Of course it's that factory that consumes a lot of crystallized bone marrow. As far as I know, this seems to be the source of the Shogunate army's equipment. I knew it had nothing to do with your side. Doesn't that make things much easier?"

This is one of the results of the joint efforts of the Final Chapter and the Sangokushima Intelligence Department over this period of time.

Through extensive interrogations and investigations, it was determined that there was a factory on Hachiyeon Island that required a large amount of crystallized bone marrow. Both sides agreed that this was likely a base for the Shogunate army to replenish its equipment.

Although Jiang Ming knew from the beginning that this was the Fatui's Evil Eye Factory, so many changes had occurred since he arrived in Teyvat in reality, and now that both sides were engaged in a fierce battle with modern weapons, the Evil Eye Factory might have become more comprehensive.

The key point is that he doesn't know the exact location of the factory either, and the final chapter is still investigating with all its might.

The fools' messengers remained silent.

"Once we take over Hachiyeon Island, I will send men to destroy this factory. That will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Shogunate army."

The fools' messengers still didn't react, only showing a smile.

"Of course, whatever makes you happy, but I still want to make it clear that we Fools do things based on evidence."

The meeting between the two sides did not yield any substantial progress.

With negotiations broken down, Jiang Ming began to focus all his efforts on preparing for the attack on Bayun Island.

To be honest, he was just testing the waters. At most, he would impose a blockade. He wouldn't dare to actually attack the Evil Eye Factory.

Based on the information obtained from the final interrogation, it is highly likely that both the Doctor and the Scatter Soldier, the two executives, are in the Evil Eye Factory.

The executors of the Fatui are already quite powerful, and they all possess authority bestowed by the Ice Queen. The top three seats even have strength comparable to top-tier demon gods.

They can fight even when the executive officer isn't around, but it's not so good when the executive officer is present.

Therefore, the focus should still be on the Shogunate army.

The messenger from the Fools who was in charge of the talks reported the contents of the talks to the Doctor as soon as he returned.

The doctor, who was deeply improving the Element Bottle and trying to enhance the weapon's destructive power, was not surprised at all.

"It's normal that they found it, don't be surprised. Don't worry, even if they find the exact address, they won't call."

"Are you really that sure?" The skirmisher stepped out of the shadows, his tone still frivolous.

"Of course. As long as they are still normal."

The stragglers shook their heads and said nothing more.

Anyway, they're just here to deliver.

"Speaking of which, why are you suddenly so interested in these gadgets?" He pointed to the elemental bottles on the professor's desk and the mixed elemental firearms scattered around.

"Regardless of its growth ceiling, this is a system worth exploring, so I tried combining it with elemental power. Secondly, the equipment developed on Sea Island has already posed a huge threat to us, and we must keep up and respond in time. The explosive power of those 105mm cannon shells, which are completely different from elemental cannons, is far beyond what ordinary people can achieve, even though they are made by mortals. If such explosions were larger, much larger..."

"Ah, I see. So that's why you started researching the technology of Haiqi Island and even tried to integrate it with the elemental power technology you're best at?"

The faces of the stragglers were filled with mockery and disdain.

"These are just toys made by mortals. Even I can't shake them. It's ridiculous to think that such things can smooth over the inherent inequality between humans and gods."

The doctor had nothing to say about it.

This isn't the first time; the differences in their views can't be explained with words, only facts can.

The doctor simply shook his head and replied briefly, "You don't understand science."

"But you don't seem to understand it very well either, do you? You took the samples and came all the way to Inazuma to work on it for ages, but in the end, your guns are inferior, your bombs are inferior, your cannons are inferior, and the only thing you have that barrier is slightly better. You even have to use their batteries. Your plan to overtake them by fusing with the Evil Eye doesn't seem like it'll work."

The doctor stopped his experiment, turned around, and stared at the skirmishers, saying, "Looking at it from another angle, in such a short time we have usable guns, bullets, and cannons, and especially a shield that can withstand the attack from Haiqi Island. Isn't this a very good start?"

The soldier simply clicked his tongue twice in amazement, but the doctor couldn't understand what he meant.

"Whether it works or not depends on the upcoming battles. After some real-world testing, you might find that your stuff is simply no match."

Chapter 146 It doesn’t matter

With preparations complete, the Haiji Army officially launched its attack on Hachi-yeon Island.

Because the available military personnel were relatively insufficient compared to the vast area of ​​Hachiyū Island and the number of shogunate troops stationed there, and because the shogunate troops were equipped with a large number of new types of equipment, a large number of robot units were incorporated into this sea army.

The ratio of robots to human soldiers is maintained at 1:1.

These robots are far less intelligent than the clockwork mechanism in Fontaine, so although wireless communication is not yet mature, they have been granted emergency authorization for use.

At close range, human soldiers can issue simple commands to robotic soldiers via wireless communication and control terminals.

The Ocean Science Academy is discussing whether to introduce a set of the latest microelectronics production equipment from the Fontainebleau Academy of Sciences to enhance the hardware capabilities of the robots and facilitate further improvements in their intelligence.

In short, that's how it was; the Umi-gi army began to enter the southern region of Musou-jin-hazama and engage in battle with the shogunate army.

Facing the Shogunate army, which now possesses a large number of ranged weapons, including elemental bombs, the Sea Spirit Army had a rather unsuccessful campaign this time, and the exhilarating feeling of crushing a melee-armed army was nowhere to be found.

The shogunate army raised the barrier and hid inside the positions, using the cover to make the sea monster army only able to inflict large-scale effective damage by bombardment.

Ordinary light weapons were no longer effective against them, who were hiding in their positions and defending themselves with barriers.

They may not have a strong fighting spirit or tactical skills; they are not good at offense, but in defense, relying on the defensive power of the barrier, they are truly like a tortoise shell.

Wherever these barriers are, that's where the tortoise shell lies.

The demand for artillery on the battlefield reached its peak at one time.

The shogunate army, on the other hand, could only huddle in their positions and fire. Although their equipment wasn't very good, they were able to hit their targets eventually because they fired so many shots.

The battlefield was deadlocked for a time, and as time went on, statistics showed that the casualties of the Umi-gi army were actually higher than those of the Shogunate army.

After all, the Sea God Army can only rely on trenches and other fortifications for protection, and they don't yet have anything like barriers. At most, they have hard-shell bulletproof vests and helmets.

One of the few benefits of this battle was that it shifted the battlefield to the area south of Musou-no-Rin-hazama, thus relieving the Fujito-no-Rin region of its threat and allowing the factory to resume operations smoothly.

After production resumed, the factory in Tengdouzhai began to resume the production of electronic components, the production capacity of robots began to recover, and it took on the role of a logistics base.

Once production capacity was restored, Haizhi Island began upgrading a batch of robots to be sent to the front lines to participate in the war.

These new robots differ from their predecessors in that they have replaced the baffles and meaningless decorations that were primarily for aesthetic purposes with armor plates that are designed for protection.

Meanwhile, the Ocean Academy has developed a special war program for it and slightly optimized its intelligent program. Human soldiers only need to issue an attack command to it once via wireless communication as authorization, and the robot can automatically complete the identification and attack of the enemy.

The deployment of a large number of robots to the front lines has begun to bring about a turning point in the situation.

After all, this thing is covered in hot-rolled homogeneous steel armor, and the only weapons the Shogunate army has are elemental bombs and elemental cannons that can damage it.

Fortunately, these robots were not intelligent enough; without human operation, they would just blindly charge forward. This allowed the Shogunate army to inflict damage on them with their elemental bombs. Otherwise, these robots alone would have been enough to overrun the Shogunate army's position.

"Giyodan's system has really been put to a whole new level; it's quite a problem."

Inside the military factory (formerly the Evil Eye Factory), the doctor remained silent, observing the current situation on the battlefield.

Although the initial developments changed somewhat, overall it was as he had predicted. His "Evil Eye System" allowed the Shogunate army to successfully block the attack of the Sea God Army, and the two sides were at least deadlocked.

These disciplined and determined bandits are capable of anything, but if they were soldiers of the Fools or elite shogunate troops, they could probably launch a counterattack against the Umi-gi army.

It's a pity that the old man Kujo Takayuki absolutely refused to touch his treasures. After all, they still needed to cooperate, and the old man also had that puppet general standing behind him, so he couldn't push him too hard.

Later, the large-scale deployment of robots changed this situation. Robots that only required replacing a few armor plates and flashing a new program were already putting enormous pressure on the Shogunate army's battle lines.

As time goes on, the chances of the shogunate army maintaining its current level of strength and holding onto Hachiyeon Island will only become smaller and smaller; defeat is only a matter of time.

Once the industrial system on Umijima Island comes online and produces a large number of cannons for use, it will likely be the end for these shogunate troops.

Practice has proven that his Evil Eye system is still slightly inferior, and the opponent's combination system is obviously stronger at this stage.

"Couldn't you just make a bunch of dolls and send them over too?"

"That thing is a product of alchemy, and it cannot be produced on such a large scale in a short period of time."

"These shogunate soldiers will all die sooner or later."

"It doesn't matter. I just need to get the data from actual combat. I can already foresee the next developments, and I will continue to make targeted improvements. By the way, send in 20 test subjects starting with number 5. I want to try again and see if I can optimize the load of powering and controlling the barrier shield using the Evil Eye."

Using the shogunate army on Hachiyeon Island as expendable resources is not a metaphor or an exaggeration.

After being severely damaged by the backlash from powering elemental cannons or barriers, they become excellent subjects for the doctor's experiments and observations.

That's really great. It would be quite a hassle for other countries to obtain such a large amount of material.

With this wealth of material, the doctor felt he could soon find ways to further optimize the Evil Eye.

By then, the Evil Eye's output will be further enhanced, and it might even be able to be paired with more powerful equipment, making the robots on Sea Island nothing to fear.

"If we can make the same heavy artillery as the enemy, then these shogunate troops might be able to hold out for a longer period of time, allowing me to obtain more data."

The stragglers turned to find the test subjects, while the doctor remained in front of the experimental table, silently pondering the problem.

He made these dumplings just for that little bit of vinegar.

Currently, the only place in Teyvat where he can test his new equipment is Inazuma, where there is a large-scale war.

Therefore, he could not sit idly by while the shogunate and Umijima were acting together. If they didn't fight each other, how could he conduct experiments, collect data, and fish in troubled waters?

Coincidentally, the development of Haizhi Island provided him with some new ideas, which made it even more necessary for the two sides to fight.

Only through actual combat can we improve our skills.

For example, before the artillery battle began, he was unaware that the Sea God Army had produced powerful, efficient, accurate, and most importantly, cheap and mass-producible artillery. Although the situation had not changed beyond his expectations due to the scarcity of the cannons, it was still within his control.

In addition, it also facilitated his acquisition of experimental subjects.

As for the impact and casualties caused by the war...
