The Armor Takes Shape, Preparations Before Departure!

Bao Yu County, Carefree Group headquarters.

Thanks to the lightweight construction methods that had already taken shape in the wasteland, as well as Tian Yuan Territory's mature heavy-industry enterprises,

after more than a month of nonstop three-shift construction, day and night, the entire headquarters had long since shed its former desolate appearance.

Outside the headquarters.

The land that had once been a rough gravel road had been completely renovated by the enthusiastic Infrastructure Team, becoming an asphalt road that still gave off a faint fragrance.

Around the headquarters, after the first round of land auctions ended, merchants who had smelled investment opportunities had already snapped up every plot.

Dozens of buildings of various shapes were rapidly taking form on both sides of the road, with every sign that this place would become another Living Zone.

And around the entire headquarters' perimeter, a circle of imposing black iron railings had been erected, topped with glinting spikes.

Only the main gate, built from heavy stone, remained for outsiders to enter through.

Inside the headquarters.

The wastelands that had once been overgrown with weeds had now been neatly cultivated and given simple concrete surfacing.

The first-phase Carefree Group building, whose construction had previously progressed slowly, had also made a qualitative breakthrough, with its four-story main structure fully erected.

Of course, apart from the three prefabricated houses near the building looking somewhat strange,

everything else here already had the atmosphere of Tian Yuan Territory's four major enterprises when they had first been built.

Inside the laboratory.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Su Mo held a small blue-black hammer, striking the component before him precisely again and again, producing a rhythmic sound.

His attention was completely focused. Even the considerable noise from the construction outside was shut out.

Before long, the hammer began moving faster and faster.
