Poverty makes me capable of anything.

"..."

Holy crap...

Even insults couldn't adequately express the utterly awful state of mind Guedes was in at that moment.

An industrial mech weighing 37 tons!

It was knocked away by an industrial robot designed to bear a weight of 5 tons!

It flew out of the air! 凸(艹皿艹)！

One punch and he's sent flying hundreds of meters into the air, hanging from a rooftop—this must be a scene from One-Punch Man! Definitely!

"Let's go, don't waste any more time."

Pulled by Ella, Guedes staggered forward like a fool.

He could no longer comprehend this crazy world.

No matter how much you modify an industrial robot, its crude design structure could never have such magical power!

There must be something wrong with how we're viewing the world!

In reality, it was Ella who was piloting the crazed industrial mech; she was just imitating Anran by flexing her muscles in front of Guedes.

Now it seems the effect is outstanding!

An Ran is indeed incredibly smart.

Guedes didn't come to his senses until Ella pulled him into the elevator. He quickly shouted, "Wrong, wrong, this elevator is just a decoy. The real elevator is next door."

"Huh? Is this the place?" Ella pointed to the wall.

"That's right, there's a hidden elevator about two meters from here."

"I understand!"

Ella nodded, then grabbed Guedes, took a step back, and unleashed a powerful punch!

Boom!

Guedes was stunned.

And so, Ella pulled me into the elevator "next door".

With the elevator completed, Ella stood calmly on the suspension platform. If she hadn't wanted to avoid making too much noise, she would have dug down directly.

Chapter 47 Portal

Guedes looked up at the soft light above his head. As the hoverboard descended rapidly, he could no longer see the large hole that Ella had smashed into.

Nothing to say.

He looked at the composed Ella and fell silent.

Is this the right thing to do?

For the country...

and many more!

Guedes narrowed his eyes. This brought up the question of who this country truly belonged to. Several hundred years ago, the entire Ship's Bottom system had not yet been unified and did not belong to the Elimerian Empire.

After that, as the Elimerian Empire embarked on its path of conquest, the united government of the Bottom of the Ship system was quickly destroyed, and the Bottom of the Ship system officially became a piece of the Empire's map.

If we consider the historical roots, he shouldn't be dwelling on this at all.

Even putting that aside, as an "imperial citizen," allowing these already corrupt nobles to continue steering the great ship of the empire will inevitably lead to its eventual sinking.

Rather than watching the Empire be gradually devoured by the Covenant, it is better to place our hopes on a comprehensive overhaul from the inside out.

Successful people are not necessarily like Vesa, but his actions have opened a new chapter.

Night Owl took the lead in resisting the imperial invasion and conscription.

Visa's act of killing the second prince was a signal flare to completely overthrow these nobles.

Many people saw this signal flare in the night sky.

Some of them may have already responded to the call and stepped forward, some may still be gathering strength, and some may be forced to lie low due to the situation.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

The Selene military industrial zone should not become a roadblock to this will, especially given the situation where the large ship industrial zone can also be saved. Double the joy! Double the happiness!

drop--

The elevator shaft lights up, indicating that we have successfully reached the bottom.

With a series of clicking sounds, the tightly closed metal door in front of me rotated open like a yin-yang symbol, revealing a long, narrow circular passageway. The top of the passageway was adorned with two rows of crystal chandeliers, bright but not glaring.

“If we go through this passage, we’ll be on the outskirts of the core of the Great Ship Industrial Zone,” Guedes said to Ella.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Ella went out first, and Guedes immediately followed.

The closer he got to the core, the more excited he became, but also the more uneasy he felt.

Since it is the core, even if it is hidden in a concealed place, it cannot be completely undefended.

Guedes recalled his conversation with Badley in the prison.

"The chances of success are very slim!"

What Badley understood was probably that he thought it was impossible for him to contact the people from the transdimensional world, and even if he did, they wouldn't listen to his advice and abandon the attack on the Great Ship Industrial Zone.

But Guedes never had that idea in the first place.

His goal is the core objective.

“At the very bottom of the core, there is a very hidden teleportation portal. This portal was originally built as a final escape route,” Guedes said to Ella as they walked.

"?"

Ella immediately turned her head away.

Short-range portals are not very useful in this world, while long-range portals consume a lot of energy to open. Most people still prefer to use spaceships that are slower but consume less energy and have a wider range of travel.

However, considering the portal's near-instantaneous arrival time, it is still very important.

"Not many people in the entire Dachuan Industrial Zone know about this, and the noble garrison is completely unaware of it."

Geddes explained his plan: "The core maintains 80% of the data transmission and processing in the Great Ship Industrial Zone, as well as 43% of the energy allocation. Once the power of the teleportation portal is turned up to the maximum, the core's energy supply will soon be paralyzed. This will have a ripple effect, leaving most of the Great Ship Industrial Zone's defenses isolated and vulnerable, or even collapsing."

In this way, the hyperspace realm no longer needs to worry about the facilities floating in space, and the defending forces can no longer remain holed up. Only by stepping forward and fighting can they hope to survive.

The protracted war has been turned into a decisive battle, which will minimize the damage to the large ship industrial and trade zone.

Similarly, the chances of victory for the noble garrison would be greatly reduced.

That's a brilliant way to kill two birds with one stone!

"Since destroying the core can achieve the same effect, there's absolutely no need to look for that portal."

Ella scratched her head. Why bother with all that?

“That’s not how it works,” Guedes explained. “The core defenses are numerous, and the garrison has already stationed a powerful force here. We might be captured before we even make a move. It’s safer to just activate the portal. I know a secret passage; once we get there, we’ll be safe.”

Powerful forces?

How powerful is it?

But since she had agreed to escort Guedes to his destination, Ella didn't dwell on it.

"We'll turn left first, and then..."

"Chief Engineer, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, around the corner, they encountered a young man carrying a box. Upon seeing the eloquent Guedes, the young man's eyes widened immediately.

With war raging, why is the chief engineer in the core area?

Guedes' eyelids twitched slightly, but he quickly calmed down. He hadn't given himself away, so he could get away with it.

"I've come to check the energy distribution system. This is a critical moment, and we can't afford any problems."

"Oh, I see."

The young man nodded repeatedly, but looked at Ella with a puzzled expression.

Strange, why would an industrial robot end up here?

“Go ahead and do your thing, don’t worry about me,” Guedes said.

"it is good."

The young man was about to leave with the box when suddenly someone ran over from afar and shouted, "Wait, wait, you've left something behind!"

As he ran closer, he suddenly saw Guedes, and the man's expression changed drastically.

"Chief Engineer? No, Chief Engineer, shouldn't you be in the detention center right now? What are you doing here..."

Oh no, he's someone who knows the situation.

Guedes' heart tightened, and just as he was about to ask Ella for help, the two who had been making a fuss collapsed at the same time, feeling dizzy.

Boom!

“What’s going on?” Guedes asked.

"Just a little trick."

What's wrong with them now?

"He's not dead, he's just asleep."

Ella lifted one person with one hand, glanced at the room next door, and closed the door. Hmm, this is no problem. In front of Ella, all metal locks are paper tigers and nothing to fear.

She pushed the door open, intending to throw the two people inside.

But his gaze met that of a man wearing boxing gloves in the room.

"Hey, ha, hey, ha..."
