Also.
The Tianxuan Kingdom, along with the areas currently under attack, spans roughly the size of five provinces. Incorporating such a vast territory, even though it's a feudal nation with a sparse population, still means a significant number of people.
With the talent cultivated over these past few years, plus those brought on board to assist, it averages out to about one manager for every tens of thousands of people. It's unavoidable that locals will need to be employed.
This also leaves potential hidden dangers.
According to Black Star's design, it would take over half a year to fully bring the Tianxuan Kingdom under control.
This was something Han Fei couldn't tolerate.
Therefore, he decided to expand the production of educational mechas.
"To round it off, let's make... another 450,000 units."
A grand and vigorous development began.
The Black Star Group operated at full capacity, utilizing preparations made over many years as a multinational corporation.
Various supplies were transported in large quantities.
To the outside world, people would only assume this was a renovation of military zones.
In reality, this was already the logistical work for conquering another world.
Han Fei had kept this matter extremely well-hidden.
With the daily affairs keeping him busy, time quickly passed, and a month went by.
Everything had settled.
The entire Tianxuan Kingdom had been taken.
There was some resistance encountered during this period, but whether they were famous generals born in times of national crisis or not, after the roar of cannons, all that remained were barren lands and countless white flags.
During the war, the other two major powers and several smaller nations had attempted to take advantage of the situation, but even with their large numbers, the army only dispatched a few artillery battalions and infantry companies to blast them back. Their numerical superiority and cavalry advantage were completely annihilated by firearms and cannons, reduced to ashes. The name "Flame Demon" began to spread across the entire continent.
After repelling them, the army had no intention of pushing further, mainly because they had too few people and too much to consume. If this continued, they would be overwhelmed.
And within this month, Han Fei had divided the five provinces into five regions.
Furthermore, educational institutions were established in various locations, where people were brought in for re-education. Of course, unlike the "Damage Law," this time it was a different version of a virtual world. It was a process of subtle learning, with no mortality rate, though the effects wouldn't be as terrifying.
It was simply a way for them to learn to read, acquire basic values, and absorb some of the ideology.
It was a slight manipulation of people's thoughts.
Each person only needed to spend three days inside, and after coming out, they would be vastly different from before.
This marked a significant transformation from ancient people to modern people.
After a month, five million people had their minds changed and began to genuinely support the changes.
It was efficient and fast.
Another ten million would undergo this process over the next two months.
On the reality side, the five regions were divided into cities, counties, and towns, starting to follow a certain model. They began building cement roads, brick houses, establishing refractory factories, mining, opening shops, and developing industry and commerce.
Now, the entire Tianxuan Kingdom presented a strange, distorted prosperity.
Some regions were already moving towards semi-modernization, while others were still stuck in the 1980s, and the majority remained in their previous state.
As for the law, it was a case of "severe laws for turbulent times." A slight misstep meant imprisonment, with no room for educational discourse.
The most severe punishment was not the death penalty, but a form of punishment called "Damage Education," a penalty that was difficult to comprehend.
There was also agriculture, with large quantities of new, high-yield seeds being researched for their suitability for cultivation.
Most importantly, currency printing and finance were also slowly integrating, aggressively transforming this backward alien world to resemble Earth.
Industry, handicrafts, animal husbandry...
Everything still required time.
In fact, it was already a bit like "pulling up seedlings to help them grow," but Han Fei didn't care, as if being chased by wolves.
Constantly forward, forward.
As for the hidden dangers, they could be dealt with slowly later.
Order after order was issued.
Large amounts of basic resources were purchased and transferred by the Black Star Group, then continuously transported in. The sheer volume was even starting to affect the group's cash flow.
In summary.
The transformation of the Tianxuan Star was currently proceeding in an orderly manner.
The future looked promising.
And apart from these political and livelihood matters.
Militarily.
Han Fei was still expanding the army.
In addition to the 13,000 elite modern troops.
The Dawn Alliance, located on Earth, also provided approximately 7,000 "educated" prisoners.
Finally, a large number of educated Tianxuans were absorbed, numbering around 20,000.
The total number adds up to 40,000.
This is the current total military strength in Tianxuan Kingdom (excluding the surrendered cannon fodder).
For defense, it's more than enough; for offense, it's slightly insufficient (mainly for occupation).
However, Han Fei had already begun infiltrating the other two major powers.
"Time waits for no one. Within two months, digest everything, and then I will truly control these two major powers."
"Currently, send the mechas to display our might, combined with the prestige of destroying Tianxuan Kingdom, to try and make them surrender. This will save time and reduce population losses."
Han Fei said.
Black Star relayed the orders.
Boom boom!!
A massive energy axe swung through the air, cleaving downwards.
The city walls cracked, and debris flew.
From the mechas, rocket launchers fired, exploding in bloody flames, while laser guns continuously went biubiu, slaughtering lives.
Surrender throughout the entire process.
The second major power, okay!
So, easy.
However, with the third major power.
There was a bit of a situation.
Hundreds of silver-white robots, clearly not from the feudal era, were attacking Giant Rock Three.
A terrifying metal storm unleashed its violent output.
Unprotected ordinary people would immediately turn into bloody mist.
But.
They didn't break through the defenses.
That's right.
They didn't break through the defenses.
Facing such attacks, Giant Rock Three simply charged forward.
Then, it fired its rocket launcher, swept its laser gun, and finally, without using the energy axe, it activated its laser sword. The scorching light blade sliced all the robots in half.
It also easily cut through the city walls behind them like butter.
In the face of such divine power, the capital city soon raised a white flag, waving from side to side.
The king, wearing a rather sci-fi white head ring, was captured on the spot.
Dawn Alliance Capital City.
Military District Underground Experimental Base.
Looking at this written report.
"I knew something like this would happen."
"Fortunately, I never let my guard down."
Chapter 47: The God River Heritage of Tianxuan Star (1) Ancient Legends and Robots
"...During the battle, over four hundred unknown robots suddenly emerged from underground. These robots were entirely silver-white, and based on structural and appearance analysis, they did not belong to Earth's style..."
In the laboratory.
Several researchers in white coats were busy around the experimental table. On the table was a humanoid robot, two meters tall, equipped with cannons and guns.
It was currently being disassembled and studied.
However, the one in charge of this was not Hexi, but a middle-aged, slightly balding man.
"Supervisor Gu, this robot's..."
A researcher approached with a notebook, narrating something.
Gu Qi nodded continuously.
That's right.
Gu Qi.
That's the talent who managed to climb the ranks on the Wind Eagle Armor project through sheer sycophancy. He currently holds a respectable position within the research system led by Hexi, which is why he was assigned this task.
As for Hexi.
In another laboratory, Hexi completed today's thirty-three projects, rubbing her temples wearily.
Her body felt no fatigue, but her mind was inevitably exhausted.
"Black Star!"
"Did you get that king to talk?"
Han Fei watched Gu Qi still receiving a report through the glass, choosing not to interrupt for the moment.
Black Star's voice sounded.
"Yes, I did. Here's the information obtained from him. Please review it."
A projection appeared before him.
"Thousands of years ago, a god with three fingers, bleeding, descended from the sky. Beneath him was a massive, silver-white divine beast? It looks somewhat like our machines; I suspect it was a spaceship? And this king claims to be a descendant of a god?"
Han Fei's expression remained calm.
Along with this information was a portrait.
This was passed down through their ancestors; it depicted their forefather's appearance.
It was a tall figure, his features unclear, clad in ancient armor, with a silver-white spaceship beneath him, creating a stark contrast.
Most noteworthy were his three fingers.
And the massive wound that ran diagonally from his shoulder to his waist, almost cleaving him in two.
"Did he leave a name?"
"No, according to legend, this ancestor of theirs left no messages. All they know is that his surname seems to be Jia."
