Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

However, a thought suddenly popped into the doctor's mind uncontrollably: what if the other party could defeat him one day, or even defeat that puppet general?

The idea spread uncontrollably through the doctor's mind.

Given that person's status, it seems not impossible.

"No way... Even at the current rate, it shouldn't take at least one or two hundred years... or even the next few decades."

The doctor ignored the stragglers beside him and muttered to himself.

"Huh? Shouldn't what?"

"Oh, nothing."

Upon hearing the soldier's question, the doctor immediately reverted to his usual indifferent demeanor.

However, this posture didn't match his crooked and severely deformed mask at all.

The combination of the two creates an indescribable comedic effect.

Only after the two had walked far away did a vehicle finally arrive at the former Haizhi Army's position.

"Are you guys okay?"

Beidou, carrying his greatsword, jumped off the car and ran over to ask the people at the scene.

Mona also got out of the car next to Beidou.

"Huh? Captain Beidou, Miss Mona, what brings you here?"

"We're in the command post in the back. We came here as soon as we received your request for help. Mona also foresaw that an accident would happen here. Where are they?"

"They're gone. They withstood a steel needle, then destroyed one of our tanks and dismantled two cannons. After that, they didn't continue attacking and just left. Look, over there, that's our tank."

The company commander pointed to the two metal hemispheres stuck in the ground.

"Sigh~"

Beidou and Mona both gasped in surprise.

Catching an armor-piercing round traveling at Mach 12 is one thing, but what's more...

"How did he manage to turn your tanks into this?"

Beidou frowned deeply, and after a long while, he finally asked this question.

"I don't know, anyway, he just raised his hand and flew up, just by clenching his fist, that's how it happened."

Do you know who they are?

"According to the intelligence we have, the current executives in Inazuma are the Doctor and Sanbing, but we cannot identify who is on the scene."

Do you have an image?

"Yes, we took a picture of it."

The company commander waved his hand, signaling someone to bring over the photos they had taken.

Beidou took the photo; the image was quite clear, and he recognized it at a glance.

"The one with blue hair is the doctor, and the one wearing a hat is a skirmisher. Yelan told me this."

"Huh? You mean, the two officers who just attacked us were executives?"

"Yes."

This has left the company commander completely bewildered.

He had assumed it was some kind of assistant to the executive.

Unexpectedly, the Fools sent out two executive officers at once.

"The Doctor is the second seat of the eleven executors of the Fatui. He is very strong. It is said that the top three executors of the Fatui all have the strength of a demon god. Fortunately, it is said that he prefers knowledge and does not like fighting. Otherwise, you people here would probably not be here to see me."

"As for that straggler, I heard he's capricious and mean-spirited. Logically, he should have retaliated against you. As for why he didn't this time, I'm not sure."

"Then, Captain Beidou, can you beat that doctor?"

"If we can't beat them, we can just take a few more hits."

Beidou acknowledged this very directly.

"So... what brings you here?"

Are you coming to deliver it?

"Don't worry, I am the leader of the Southern Cross of Liyue. He wouldn't dare to touch me unless absolutely necessary."

This has nothing to do with strength, but rather with the confidence that Liyue and the Geo Archon gave her.

Chapter 175 A Certain Scientific Railgun

For PhDs, the current state of BeiDou is indeed a problem.

Fighting is acceptable, but injury and killing are not allowed.

Beidou's relationship with Liyue is quite complex, especially since trade with Haiqi Island began, its status has risen steadily.

If something goes wrong with Beidou, it could attract the hostility and targeting of the Seven Stars and those major families. Who knows what might happen? The worst outcome would be that all their arrangements in Liyue would be in vain.

Fools may stop at nothing to achieve their goals and disregard the cost, but the sacrifices and costs that are pointless and meaningless are unacceptable.

If one were to fight against Beidou, it would not be a battle of individual bravery, but a battle of complex interests and calculations of gains and losses.

As for that astrologer, he's backed by a bunch of crazy women, making him just as troublesome.

It vividly illustrates that the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.

Continuing the attack, or even fighting these two, would not change the course of the battle. In fact, if the situation escalated, it would cause more trouble. Therefore, the doctor decisively chose to retreat with his scattered troops.

The sudden appearance of the Fools' Enforcers on this position was indeed unexpected. Jiang Ming and Xin Hai described it as "a dangerous interlude that almost turned the tide of the battle."

However, apart from the unexpected incident involving the Fools' Enforcer, the rest of the place was much the same as the other positions.

After the doctor went to the battlefield, was hit by a steel needle, and personally experienced its power, he finally believed the report submitted by the Shogunate army.

With such power, breaking through one of his barriers would be an easy task, more than enough, even overkill.

Regarding the shogunate army on Hachiyū Island, the doctor's final conclusion was: they could be saved, but only a little, and the losses would outweigh the gains.

Based on this conclusion, the Doctor began to order the withdrawal of the Fools' forces.

Since the outcome won't change anyway, there's no need to let the Fools' soldiers die any more.

Furthermore, even if the soldiers of the Fools were still on the field, there's a 50/50 chance they would fight the Shogunate army first.

This was news that the doctor only learned after returning to the factory: a large number of Shogunate troops deserted or failed to surrender, so they simply revolted on the spot.

Surprisingly, the shogunate army's rebel forces often displayed astonishing fighting power against the guerrilla forces of the Fools, far surpassing their strength against the Umi-gi army.

This forced the doctor to change his view of this shogunate army: before, they were useless people that even the fools could not lead, but now they are traitors born with a rebellious nature.

No matter how much the commander of the shogunate army on Hachiyū Island pleaded, the doctor ignored him and simply focused on withdrawing the Fools' troops into the factory.

Anyway, the terrain south of Musou-no-Rin-hazama is complicated and there's nothing of great value there, so the Umi-no-Kami army probably won't pay much attention to it.

In the future, finding a gap in this vast island for the Fools to smuggle some things will not be too difficult.

Let's wait and see for now, and continue his research.

He wanted to try it out quickly and see if electricity and magnetism could still be used as he thought.

With the Fools' retreat, the biggest obstacle was gone, and the Sea God Army broke through much faster than expected.

Often, the moment a tank appears, the enemy's position crumbles without a fight.

So much so that some units didn't even wait for the tanks to arrive, but instead made wooden tank models to scare the Shogunate army.

And you know what? It actually worked quite well.

It is no exaggeration to describe it as terrifying.

As a reward for Beidou's righteous assistance, Jiang Ming satisfied one of Beidou's curiosities.

—Why are your shells fired so fast because they're powered by electricity?

This is the most intriguing point that Beidou observed for several days and combined with the traces left after the doctor was attacked, especially the rock with the doctor's human figure imprinted on it.

The cannons emitted significant fluctuations of lightning elemental power when they were fired, indicating that they were powered by electricity, not just gunpowder. She, who possessed the Eye of Thor, could sense this very clearly.

Jiang Ming didn't waste any time and directly invited Beidou into the Ocean Science Academy.

"Captain Beidou, do it like this first, and then like this. Use the lightning element to create a circuit, and let them flow like this, yes, yes, like this, and then just put the coin in."

A special iron coin was launched from Beidou's hand in an instant and hit a target in the distance.

This wasn't the first time the people at the Ocean Science Academy had done something like this.

Using the power of lightning to construct corresponding structures for simulation played a significant role in their research on electromagnetic guns.

Several holders of Thor's Eye played an indispensable role in this process.

Inside the firing range, a specialist immediately went up to take measurements.

The data was sent back very quickly.

“It’s quite outstanding. It’s more powerful than our large-caliber sniper rifle and about the same as a 20mm cannon.”

The person in charge at the scene looked at Beidou with great surprise.

This is their best result here.

When others experimented with this coin, it mostly had about the same power as their 9mm pistols, with the strongest being about the same as an automatic rifle.

If Beidou were equipped with the appropriate ammunition, its power would likely be increased.

"It seems you haven't used your full strength yet?"

"Yes, I thought your target was quite thin, so I just tried it out. I didn't expect it to be so sturdy."

Beidou marveled at the metal plate.

"It's normal for hot-rolled steel to be stronger than galvanized iron."

"However, this type of attack seems to require a high level of effort in a very short period of time."
