I became a witch, but I started the industrial revolution

With the help of robots, their progress became much easier. They would go into every factory they passed by to take a look, and just like before, they could easily pass the identification and certification.

They are still working silently, transporting various raw materials to surrounding factories for manufacturing.

Most of these factories mainly manufacture various daily necessities such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, while some of them produce electromagnetic guns and robots with various functions.

There are tracked engineering robots that are more than ten meters tall and are responsible for construction, as well as service-oriented simulated female household robots. Their perfect bionic bodies have fascinated many engineers.

There were even a few guys who secretly asked Betty if she could let them bring two back for research when she returned.

Take it back for research? Betty was too lazy to expose them.

She neither refused nor agreed, but just said that she would see the situation at that time.

From this we can also see that the underground civilized society has made great achievements in the field of artificial intelligence. Robots can already be used to replace many aspects of human division of labor, such as security, construction, and comfort that can be seen now.

The thickness of the black blanket around them was increasing, but the monsters were becoming fewer and fewer, until later there were almost no monsters appearing to attack them.

The thickness of the black carpet on the ground here has reached about 30cm. They are standing at the end of the aerial plank road that connects the factories. In the past, the function of this plank road should be used to transport materials between the two factories.

Until they arrived at the gate of a special factory. The factory covered an unusually large area and was surrounded by various turret-style defensive weapons.

Betty carefully stepped in front of the defensive weapon. After seeing that the other party did not mark her as an enemy and attack her, the large army gathered in front of the huge alloy door about 10 meters high.

However, this time their 'face scanning' behavior failed.

[Authentication in progress...Permission not granted, access denied. 】

The black carpet around began to stir, or rather, to riot.

The black carpet on the ground rolled back and forth like waves, and finally gathered and rose not far from them, gradually evolving into a constantly trembling flesh ball that was more than 20 meters high.

Everyone's heart was in their throat when they saw this scene. A monster of this size might be able to crush them to death with one kick.

Nia reached out her hand and pressed on the authentication window to feel it: "I should be able to unlock it, but it will take some time."

Betty glanced at Nia, then turned and shouted, "Get close to the shooting range and open fire. Blow it up!"

Following Betty's order, everyone spit flames at the meatball. Dense bullets hit the meatball like raindrops, causing a rain of blood. However, the meatball's bumpy surface was quickly repaired in a few seconds.

"Don't be stingy with your ammunition, fire at full speed!"

A large number of rockets were fired into the air, but at the same time a black wall of flesh rose in front of the giant egg, perfectly blocking a series of explosions for it.

"Fuck! Is this thing a spirit?"

"We have to fight even if it turns into a spirit! We can't go back to the original factory with this size. The factory there is not as tall as this thing! It will explode in a minute."

As a dull beating sound came from the giant egg, pustules appeared on the surrounding black carpet, and it was obvious that the day the giant egg hatched, this place would instantly become a paradise for monsters.

Just when everyone was in a dilemma, intensive alarms suddenly sounded in the factory area. Amid the shrill alarms, a large number of robots drove out from various factories, firing at the pustules on the surrounding black carpets, and advanced towards the giant egg in an orderly manner.

A large number of pustules were shattered, but more pustules broke open and a group of monsters emerged, forming a monster tide and rushing towards the robot troops.

Even with weapons such as electromagnetic guns and chest electromagnetic cannons, they are unable to perfectly block and resist the monsters that surround them from all directions and even from underground.

From time to time, robot teams were torn to pieces by the swarming monsters after breaking through the firepower network.

The broken monsters were reabsorbed by the black carpet, more pustules appeared, and batches of robot teams poured out of the factory. The two sides started the most primitive and brutal war of attrition on this land.

Everyone was a little bit surprised. It turned out that they had never seen the absolute power of the monster tide, and they thought it was a waste to keep the robots sealed there. Now it seems that even if the entire army is mobilized, it may not be enough.

But what about the big guy?

As they watched the strong heartbeat inside the giant egg grow stronger and stronger, everyone's faces began to turn slightly pale.

At this time, the group of monsters also rushed to the front of the gate. The cannon on the building suddenly made a muffled sound, and a projectile hit the group of monsters, plowing out a blank area several meters wide with no end in sight.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The cannon fired continuously with a small sound, and the strange wave in front of them disappeared on the spot.

【Beep——Authentication passed】

The cold mechanical voice turned into a gentle female voice that made people feel like spring breeze:

【Welcome back】

The tall alloy door behind them began to slowly slide open to both sides, and a group of people hurried in.

Just as the alloy door was about to close again, the gigantic monster bred by the giant egg broke out.

It was like a liquid of broken raw eggs lying on the black carpet, and then it quickly merged with the surrounding black carpet into a huge translucent monster with an indescribable appearance.

It has no eyes, and there is a faint light in the center of the place similar to a head, and the mouthparts at the base of more than a dozen tentacles are constantly dripping saliva.

The bullets fired by countless robots embedded in its body surface but did not cause any damage. Instead, they were swept away by the gelatinous tentacles that suddenly emerged from its body, wiping out an area.

At the same time, its head was facing the gate. The people inside the gate were stiff and unable to move, as if they were suppressed by an invisible force. Countless tiny tentacles emerged from its body and the black carpet and stabbed towards the gate.

The defensive weapons at the door immediately opened fire violently, forming a metal bullet wall that crushed all the tentacles. This special influence was not cut off until the door was completely closed, and everyone immediately collapsed to the ground.

A small broken tentacle fell in when the door was completely closed, and the careful Nia controlled it.

Chapter 382 Necessary Sacrifice

Nia controlled the tentacle fragment, and felt a torrent of memories that did not belong to her rushing towards her brain. In an instant, two lines of scarlet blood slowly flowed from her small nose.

[The last alien invader spaceship that landed has been broken by our brave warriors. They are the heroes of mankind and the eternal pride of mankind! Our civilization has also passed the most difficult and darkest moment and is about to usher in a new life! ]

[The large-scale technological progress that occurred at the beginning of this century, many technologies obtained from the invasion were successfully used in the construction of the army, such as plasma shields, prism shields, and laser technology was used in the construction of the Ultimate Guard. Humanity has absolute confidence in the possible second invasion! ]

Faintly, Nia saw a young man in a white coat standing in front of her, with dazzling blond hair occupying her entire field of vision.

'We have never seen what the aliens look like, they are just bait. The liquid super source we extracted from the deep ocean ruins of the POSIS planet contains almost infinite energy, which can bring our civilization into a new era! '

'The competition for energy has caused countless wars and the loss of many species. Unlimited energy can solve the gap between the rich and the poor and the allocation of resources in human society. Ilea, I believe that you are the same kind of people as us. We share the same ideals and beliefs.'

'Evolution is in our own hands, not through their charity!'

...

'Its absorption and conversion efficiency has been increased by 16.3%! Ilea, you are the youngest and fastest promoted female professor in history. You deserve it!'

...

'Damn, the energy is too dispersed. We need a host as a life form to contain the energy and use it as a medium for energy transfer.'

...

[Although the coalition government has approved the continuation of this experiment, I still have no hope for your plan. Simmons, you don't have much time left.]

[If there are no better research results later, your assistance will be terminated, and all resources will be concentrated on the highest priority Guardian Project.]

"...I understand...Bullmaster."

...

"Simmons, this mistake cannot continue. Using young children for transformation experiments and betting the future of humanity on the future of civilization will only push us to a dead end!"

'For the centuries that civilization has expanded into space, the pursuit has been nothing more than the ability to break through the limitations of this fragile shell.'

'Our future is out there, that is our destiny! But we are not born to survive in space, this body is holding us back, we must evolve to survive!'

'Ilea, your presence will prove that my methods are worth the risk.'

"What do you mean!"

"We have gone through so many difficulties, and we are just a little bit away from the final touch. You are the most indispensable part for this research to succeed..."

"Ilea, you will always be my best research partner."

"This is a necessary sacrifice for the survival of civilization. With a matching degree of 99.8, you are the best material and will usher in a new era for mankind."

"No! Don't do this! Please!"

As the weak girl was knocked unconscious by the huge force, Nia felt her vision go dark. At the same time, she felt a tearing pain all over her body, as if she was placed on a millstone and crushed over and over again, with all her flesh and bones crushed.

When she woke up again, she had become an experimental subject trapped in a transparent liquid tank. Special energy flowed into her body through the liquid, and was then extracted from her body through dozens of needles on the instruments in the tank, over and over again.

[It hurts! Kill him! ]

【Kill that guy! ! 】

[He must be killed!!!]

"Nia? Did you find anything?"

"Nia?"

'puff! '

Before the people who were walking towards Niya came close, Niya, who was sitting at the gate, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from her mouth.

Nia barely opened her eyes but could only see a blood-red color. The blood oozing from her facial features made her look extremely terrifying.

The negative pressure valve inside the helmet drained the blood out, and the bright red color began to spread across her silver-white close-fitting exoskeleton armor.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Medic!!!"

"Her mental fluctuations are very chaotic. Please help calm her down, psychics."

'Her physical condition is deteriorating too quickly. I need to give her an injection of adrenaline!'

Everyone seemed to have forgotten what Nia was going to do at the gate, nor did they notice that the tentacles had disappeared at some point.

"Enemy attack! Be on guard!"

Amid the sound of dense running, a large group of white-eyed monsters rushed out from the shadows and pounced towards the area where everyone was.

Suddenly, there were bursts of gunfire everywhere. Betty saw the gate where monsters were rushing in the distance, and she forced her way towards the gate while firing.

The gun was out of bullets and there was no time to refill it, so Betty pulled out the alloy double-edged giant sword behind her and held it with both hands, making a kendo attack starting posture.

Dense sword lights flashed across the monster group. Betty brandished a greatsword and charged madly into the monster group. A large number of monsters were knocked away and their bodies were chopped into several pieces on the ground.

One of the monsters pounced at the face of the mecha. Betty used the hilt of the giant sword to block it, and slapped the sword with her right hand, making the giant sword sweep away the monster within five meters in front of the mecha like a door panel.

With her left hand, she punched the other monster's head off, then grabbed its thick body full of proliferating tumors and smashed it around. The blood poured out, turning the mecha Betty was wearing into a blood red color.

Almost no monster could survive a round against Betty, not even the hydra. Later on, she didn't even need the giant sword and rushed directly to the hydra, grabbed its head and tore it in half.

Betty's powerful attack quickly broke through the monsters' encirclement and reached the gate device and activated the closing button. The heavy iron gate slowly closed the passage from which monsters were running out continuously.

As the pressure in one area was gone, Betty and the others were free to assist other teams, and together they suppressed the monster group outside again.

In order to resist possible long-range bombing and high-power magic attacks from the enemy, the mecha itself uses a large amount of special alloys to enhance its structural strength, making it a natural expert in close combat.
