I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Shen Tian did not forcibly dig into the core layer, but simply marked it on the map.

The single blue dot on the tactical watch then splits into three thick mineral zones, marked with the mining depth, energy purity, and rock pressure, respectively.

As soon as the first survey results were sent back to the base, Solomon sent a message.

"Based on the minimum reserves, the surface ore is enough to keep four war puppet production lines running at full speed for thirty-two years."

"As expected of an endless world."

"You've already made so much progress so soon after arriving."

Even Solomon's eyes couldn't help but burn with desire.

really.

Humanity's expedition to the endless world was an absolutely correct choice.

Humans will settle here, and their development will accelerate significantly.

Shen Tian glanced at the data and continued south.

Thirty thousand kilometers away, the terrain begins to slope down.

A river nearly six kilometers wide rushes out between two black mountain ranges. The water is light blue, and visible energy spots float on the surface.

There were no high-level beasts active on either side of the valley, and the black soil plain stretched to the horizon.

The plants here complete an energy absorption and release cycle every few hours, and fine crystalline sand has naturally formed around their roots.

Shen Tian took a tube of river water and collected ten soil samples from different locations.

The water source is stable, the soil has high energy activity, and the plain area exceeds 12,000 square kilometers.

Once the research team completes pollution and ecological testing, an agricultural zone can be established here first, followed by the designation of experimental areas for spiritual plants and farms.

Green markers covered the entire valley, and a large agricultural plain appeared on the First Expeditionary Force's resource map.

In the afternoon, the base delivered the first phase report.

"The double-layer protection of the World Passage is complete, the foundation of the city wall is 43% complete, and the scout team has not discovered any new dangerous targets."

The construction noise behind Lu Changfeng was heavy, with a section of the city wall falling to the ground every few seconds.

"The groups of strange beasts on the west side are still in their original activity areas and have not approached."

"Continue construction."

Shen Tian shut down communications, crossed the valley, and headed east.

The next morning, he found a volcanic field 120,000 kilometers away.

Thousands of low-lying volcanoes stretch along the earth's veins, with golden liquid constantly gushing from the cracks in the rocks, flowing underground and then being pushed back to the surface by new fissures.

The heat output here is very stable, and the temperature at the outermost edge exceeds two thousand degrees.

The giant forest near the fire zone also caught his attention.

These giant trees are generally thousands of meters tall, and their bark, after being baked by lava, only has light-colored scorch marks.

Shen Tian broke off a branch and pressed it down; only then did tiny cracks appear inside the wood.

The strength of an ordinary tree trunk is already close to that of Blue Star S-grade alloy.

The earth's fire is suitable for smelting, and giant trees can replenish the city's building materials.

Both areas are not far from the mineral belt. Once the transportation lines are connected, ore mining, smelting and equipment production can be linked together.

Shen Tian marked the fire zone as a yellow industrial resource area, and temporarily included the giant tree forest in the restricted collection area. The sampling data was also transmitted back to the base.

Solomon quickly sent in his application.

"I need an engineering team and six high-temperature resistant dummy units to conduct ground fire stability tests first."

"Send people after the city walls are closed."

"it is good."

The base's progress on the second day was also updated at the same time.

The energy zone and medical zone are already in use, and the three control towers are connected to the city's defense system.

Researchers rewrote the operating parameters of the engineering golem based on the gravity and energy concentration of the endless world, which increased the subsequent construction speed by 30%.

Within the training area, the First Expeditionary Force also completed its adaptation tests.

Fifth-tier martial artists can fight normally, while those at the sixth tier and above are basically unaffected by gravity.

Even with the blessing of [War Domination], the 10,000-strong army formation can still operate stably here.

Because the power of heaven and earth is more concentrated here.

Therefore, they can unleash even greater destructive power than they did on Earth.

The energy intensity of the first round of combined attack tests was even nearly 20% higher than that of Earth.

After reading the report, Shen Tian continued to advance towards the western mountain range.

Once within a range of 200,000 kilometers, the surrounding life fluctuations became noticeably denser.

Seventh-tier beasts each occupy their own rivers and valleys, while eighth-tier life forms control even larger areas.

They rarely cross each other's boundaries, and even when their breaths collide, they retreat back to their original territories within a short period of time.

Shen Tian did not clear the area.

Humanity currently lacks comprehensive research on native alien beasts, and simply killing them all would only waste resources.

Once the legion establishes hunting standards and research teams understand the value of various materials, these territories can be converted into long-term hunting grounds.

He walked around the various territories and marked two areas with more seventh-tier beasts and fewer eighth-tier auras as controllable hunting grounds.

The remaining four areas with mid-to-late stage eighth-order life fluctuations were all classified as high-risk red zones.

As the red line fell, the first version of the wasteland resource map gradually became complete.

Three mineral belts, one agricultural plain, one geological fire belt, two controllable hunting grounds, and four high-risk red zones.

The map clearly outlines where the base will be developed in the coming months, where the legion will train, and which mountains the engineering teams need to avoid.

On the evening of the third day, the last two sections of the city wall at the expedition base were joined together.

The 30-kilometer-long city core is completely surrounded by a 100-meter-high city wall, with eight expansion openings remaining in different directions.

The energy zone, medical research zone, and training zone are already lit up, and although the military industrial zone does not yet have production lines, huge alloy workshops have already been arranged in two rows on the north side.

The boundary gate is located at the deepest part of the city, and two independent fortresses tightly protect the Silver Passage.

The First Expeditionary Force climbed the city wall in batches and completed the final joint test with the drone swarm.

At the top of the main tower, a black military flag was slowly raised.

The outline of the blue star and the crimson gold battle blade unfolded in the sky, and the engineers and martial artists within a 30-kilometer radius stopped what they were doing and looked up in the same direction.

Afei stood on the newly completed west city wall, staring at the military flag for a long time.

"We really built the city."

Reggae pushed a box of shells into the storage compartment and then kicked him.

"Get to work when you've had your fill of looking. The No. 8 turret isn't finished yet."

Ah Fei grinned, picked up the two boxes of shells, and ran forward.

Despite being pressed down by 2.6 times the force of gravity, his speed still caused several engineers nearby to quickly make way for him.

At the same time, 230,000 kilometers away.

Shen Tian stopped above a broken valley.

The rock strata below are recessed into a huge circular pit, more than one kilometer in diameter, and five forward-extending toe marks can be seen at the edge.

Behind the circular pit, there is a similar depression every few hundred kilometers, leading all the way to the depths of the western mountains.

These are a series of footprints.

Shen Tian landed on the edge of one of the footprints, and the nearby pebbles immediately rolled to the bottom of the pit.

The residual power of the laws within the rock strata has not yet dissipated, and its intensity has already reached the eighth level.

There were no other strange beasts for thousands of kilometers around, and even the birds in the sky deliberately avoided this route.

Lu Changfeng's communication came through the tactical watch.

"The city walls are closed, and all five areas have been numbered. The military flag has been raised."

"Block the four exits on the west side according to the map I sent back."

"What did you find?"

Shen Tian looked up in the direction where the footprints disappeared, but did not chase after them.

"An eighth-tier beast; its activity range is still being confirmed."

He locked the valley beneath his feet into the highest danger zone, and the red line on the map was pushed outward by 10,000 kilometers.

In the communication screen, the black military flag flew over the highest point of the city wall, unfurling completely in the wind of the endless world.
