Chapter 165

YuanBao offered even more comprehensive suggestions regarding Lin Ze's thoughts.

"City Lord, if you're not in a rush, you could wait a little while. Our industrial system will be perfected to the point where it can produce Electromagnetic Railguns. The initial velocity of the projectiles can reach twenty times the speed of sound, with the terminal velocity exceeding thirty times the speed of sound, and an effective hit range of over four hundred kilometers."

"In a vacuum environment, the firing rate and effective hit range will be doubled."

"The firing rate of the Electromagnetic Railgun is faster than conventional artillery. The pure kinetic energy damage makes the weapon's power more concentrated, which can be more effective against units with strong defenses."

"The total weight of the gun body, projectiles, and power supply is 92 tons. With your current Mental Power, you cannot control it. However, after comprehensively calculating your growth rate, it is estimated that your Mental Power will grow to the corresponding strength by the time the Electromagnetic Railgun is completed."

Lin Ze listened to YuanBao's suggestion and found the corresponding weapon data in the database.

After completing the research on Immortality Technology, Chu Ge wanted to cleanse the entire human civilization to have a safe world for himself.

After doing this, Chu Ge established his own military-industrial system and then focused his research projects on interstellar travel, completing the miniaturization and practical application of the Electromagnetic Railgun as a military reserve for interstellar travel.

Next, he would solve the most important energy problem: controllable nuclear fusion technology. However, before he could act, he encountered Lin Ze.

The railgun that YuanBao was showing Lin Ze at this moment was a weapon planned to be installed on interstellar warships.

Just as YuanBao said, this Electromagnetic Railgun has the advantages of a fast firing rate, great power, and a wide attack range. The only drawback is that it is too heavy to be used as a single-soldier weapon. In front of Lin Ze, this is not even a drawback.

After reading the parameters, Lin Ze felt that he had no reason to refuse this railgun.

"YuanBao, report on the construction progress of the industrial system."

Lin Ze crossed the Gates to Heavens and left the wilderness where he tested his combat power, arriving at the base camp in World No. 3.

The current East River City has undergone tremendous changes compared to before. Within a radius of thousands of kilometers, there are dense factories everywhere. Various automated vehicles transporting materials constantly shuttle back and forth on the roads, engaging in non-stop production and construction 24 hours a day.

However, this busyness has nothing to do with humans. All the Gates to Heavens Mall employees are in schools, studying hard for a better quality of life.

"Currently, the construction of the industrial system is progressing smoothly. Productivity has recovered to 78% of pre-human civilization levels. Many nuclear power plants are already under construction to store energy. It is estimated that we will have the production capacity for Electromagnetic Railguns in one month, and the final product can be obtained in 32 days."

"It is estimated that in two and a half months, we will be able to reach 100% of the productivity of pre-human civilization, possessing a complete industrial system. It is estimated that in eight years, we will have the complete productivity of a planetary civilization."

YuanBao reported the information.

In the past period, Lin Ze had been busy with his own cultivation.

First, he went to Fallen Flower Valley, and then to Bright Moon Pavilion to devour many Heavenly Material Earthly Treasures, accumulating enough essence, Qi, and spirit to condense Gang Qi and undergo Rebirth and Transformation.

Then, worried that the Longevity Technology would be ineffective against Peerless Experts who had undergone Rebirth and Transformation, he conducted comparative research. After that, he actually broke through. Time passed unnoticed during this entire process for more than half a year, so that now Lin Ze's industrial system is about to be completed.

"It's getting faster again."

Lin Ze thought with emotion as he listened to YuanBao's report.

Initially, it was estimated that it would take two and a half years to complete the construction of the entire industrial system. However, in the past period, Lin Ze had frantically thrown more than 40,000 tons of gold into the Main World, a full 200 trillion in funds, to purchase various materials.

These gold hard currencies directly gave the manufacturing industry of the entire world a shot in the arm.

While directly boosting the economic development of World No. 1, he also successfully helped Lin Ze shorten the time to build the industrial system to one year and three months.

After that, various factories on the World No. 2 side were also opened on a large scale. The warriors of the Great Zhou Dynasty rode the industrial civilization transportation tools provided by Lin Ze, going around the world to capture people and stuff them into various copper, iron, and Coal Mine and other resource extraction points to cooperate with assembly line work.

The many grains that Lin Ze purchased in World No. 1 played a crucial role in this production process.

Tens of millions of laborers, coupled with various mining assembly lines, successfully collected many resources, driving the employment and productivity development of World No. 2, and also provided a large number of resources, helping Lin Ze successfully shorten the construction time by three months.

So now, in a year's time, the entire industrial system will be completely formed, and nine and a half months have already passed.

"Luck has reached five million."

Lin Ze looked at the Luck balance displayed on his Gates to Heavens. This was what he had gained in terms of Luck over the past half year.

However, for the time being, Lin Ze's strength is still in a stage of rapid growth due to his cultivation breakthrough to the Peerless Expert level, so it is not suitable to use Luck to add points.

Lin Ze glanced at the Luck and stopped paying attention, his attention turned to other aspects.

"Now that my industrial system is about to be built successfully, it's time to show the Gates to Heavens Mall to the public."

Lin Ze looked outside, at the orderly operating industrial system.

Future development cannot be separated from people.

Countless scholars need to join in the research and development of technology, so that the cause of the Gates to Heavens Mall can continue to develop step by step.

But in the current World No. 3, there are few people, while World No. 1 and World No. 2, which have a large population, do not belong to the Gates to Heavens Mall system.

Next, if Lin Ze wants to move forward in great strides, he must incorporate them into the Gates to Heavens Mall system.

However, it is wishful thinking to directly ask others to join with empty words. In the end, he still has to find an opportunity to show off his strength.

But before that, Lin Ze needs to make up for his flaws first.

World No. 3, the most beautiful resort, Ethereal Realm.

Among the pavilions and towers perfectly integrated into the landscape, a door opened, and then a group of people walked out of it.

"Okay, Dad, Mom, we're here."

Covering Lin Zheng and Zhang Xiu's eyes, Lin Ze brought them from their residence, Qianyun Manor, in World No. 1 to the Ethereal Realm.

"This? This is?"

Lin Zheng and Zhang Xiu opened their mouths in surprise, looking at the Ethereal Realm scenery around them, which seemed like a fairyland but they had never heard of, and then looking at the Gates to Heavens still open behind them, their thoughts were chaotic and they didn't know what to say.

"As you can see, this is Other World, a world that belongs to me. From now on, for safety, you will need to live in this new world."

Lin Ze explained with a smile.

The Gates to Heavens closed, and Lin Ze led his parents towards the Spirit Show Manor in the Ethereal Realm.

A Drones controlled by YuanBao introduced the current situation to the two through a loudspeaker.

If Lin Ze explained all this to his parents in World No. 1, they would definitely be skeptical, but at this moment, combined with the actual situation, even if the two of them felt extremely unbelievable in their hearts, they still easily listened to all the words.

They knew that their child had become successful, that he was now the master of the world, more honorable than the ancient emperors, and that they had also prospered, from ordinary little teachers to big figures admired by others.

When Lin Ze led his parents into the hall of Spirit Show Manor, YuanBao's explanation had just ended.

In the hall, his wife Li Yunhua, concubine Li Lihua, and several maids who had intimate relations with Lin Ze, such as Xiang Xue and Bao Qin, were already waiting here.

As soon as they saw Lin Zheng and Zhang Xiu coming in, the women immediately performed a prostration, and said in unison: "Greetings, father-in-law and mother-in-law."

The couple were at a loss, not knowing how to deal with the group of people kneeling on the ground. At this time, the projector next to them began to play the wedding situation that Lin Ze had filmed before.

"At that time, because my career was in its early stages of development, I couldn't invite you two to the wedding."

Lin Ze explained from the side.

Zhang Xiu glared at her son. Seeing this wedding scene, she finally found her position as a mother-in-law. Learning from how Lin Ze's grandparents treated her in the past, she smiled kindly and helped everyone up, saying with a smile, "Why stand on ceremony so much? You're all good children."

Seeing that everything was fine here, Lin Ze smiled and left, appearing in another hall.

Here, Ji Shuqing's family had just understood the whole story and were still in a state of shock.

Lin Ze took Ji Shuqing to the courtyard, looking at the many wives and concubines getting along with his parents-in-law across the garden. He didn't say anything to the person beside him, yet it seemed like he had said everything.

Ji Shuqing knew that Lin Ze wanted to know her attitude towards everything now, Lin Ze's other wives and concubines, Lin Ze's wealth, and future glory, her attitude towards these things.

"When is our wedding?"

Ji Shuqing calmly accepted everything. She was the one who fell in love first, putting her in a weaker position.

Especially now, the status and position of both parties were so different that it seemed like a chasm. It was already very good that Lin Ze was willing to accept her existence.

Lin Ze held Ji Shuqing's hand and walked towards the wives and concubines from World No. 2, introducing them to each other.

After the initial feeling of unfamiliarity dissipated, there was a banquet where people chatted and got to know each other casually.

Mainly the families of Lin Ze's many wives and concubines, such as Li He's family, Li Lihua's family, and his friend Xu Sheng's family, came to meet Lin Ze's parents, and they also got to know each other, at least to become familiar with their in-laws.

In a quiet pavilion, Lin Ze was with Ji Qingyan.

"So, the Truth Sect is fake? City Lord of the Gates to Heavens Mall."

Lin Ze heard the beautiful woman beside him, dressed in a Moon White palace dress, complaining like this.

At this moment, she had also learned about some of Lin Ze's affairs and knew about the organizational structure of the Gates to Heavens Mall.

"After all, we didn't get along very well at the beginning."

Lin Ze hugged Ji Qingyan, smelling the fragrance on her body, knowing that she was not angry.

"You brought your family and friends to this new world. Are you planning to take action against the world you came from and the world where our Great Zhou Dynasty is located?"

Ji Qingyan turned her head, stared into Lin Ze's eyes, and asked seriously.

"It's not really taking action. After all, we are the Gates to Heavens Mall, a commercial organization, not trying to establish a hegemonic organization like the Heavenly Court where it's either you or me. So, in principle, we follow the principle of friendly exchanges first with all individuals and groups."

"Bringing family and friends over in advance is to deal with the situation after negotiations fail."

"If you don't like it here, I can send you back to World No. 2. Your own martial arts and the power of your Great Zhou Imperial Family are enough to ensure your safety in the turbulent situation ahead, so you don't need me to protect you."

Lin Ze's brow was close to Ji Qingyan's, and he spoke like this.

"I'm very happy that you thought of me and brought me over."

Ji Qingyan said.

Lin Ze looked at her expression and knew her choice.

"My career is in Great Zhou. Being able to accomplish things, achieve success, and have many people remember me fondly is really a very good thing. If you miss me, you can come to Fufeng County to see me."

Ji Qingyan said.

She and Lin Ze were Dao companions.

She wanted to bloom in her own field, rather than be a pretty vase beside Lin Ze, good for nothing else.

"Okay."

Lin Ze agreed.

Just as he said, among his relatives and friends, only Ji Qingyan didn't need protection; she was strong in her own right and had powerful backing.

"If only I had known about the Longevity Method here earlier. Grand Ancestor could have used Turtle Breathing Technique to enter a state of suspended animation and hold on for another three to five years, but now it's too late."

Before parting, Ji Qingyan sighed.

"Has your ancestor passed away?"

Hearing Ji Qingyan's lament, Lin Ze subconsciously asked.

Lin Ze had overheard this information before, and a considerable amount of time had passed since then.

"Not yet, but it will be soon."

"According to estimates, Zi Yi's Longevity Method will probably be useful in about three months, but my Grand Ancestor's lifespan is estimated to end in the next few days."

Ji Qingyan replied, paused, and continued:

"The reason I asked Zi Yi to buy Firearms to make up for our combat power and suppress border troubles was because those border generals were secretly summoned back. After some probing, some of them already had disloyal intentions. My Grand Ancestor used a Demonic Art to seize the essence of these Peerless Experts, briefly restoring his peak combat power."

"Over the past few months, he transformed into a Blood Demon and traveled to various hidden sects and the secluded places of some Peerless Experts, killing them all in battles. Before you picked me up, Grand Ancestor went to the Four Great Martial Arts Holy Lands."

"Calculating the time, the Four Great Martial Arts Holy Lands are probably already rivers of blood, and it is estimated that half of the disciples will die."

Ji Qingyan was able to learn these top-secret messages because she had recently cooperated with Lin Ze, helping the emperor earn a lot of money, and her status had been further elevated.

Lin Ze's first reaction upon hearing this news was relief.

Fortunately, he had rarely gone to World No. 2 since he began breaking through to the Gang Qi Realm, otherwise, who knew if he would have been secretly attacked by Ji Yu, this Land Immortal.

From Ji Qingyan's words, Lin Ze easily understood Ji Yu's logic.

He was dying, but there were no other experts of his level in the imperial family who could suppress the various sects and hidden experts who were still obedient, as well as some unstable factors within the court. So, he simply took them all away with him while he was dying.

To prevent someone from subverting the rule of the Great Zhou Dynasty after his death.

But unfortunately, Ji Yu was still a step short. He didn't know that there was a Longevity Palace Lord hidden in the dark with a very long lifespan. If things continued to develop according to the current model, it was estimated that the Longevity Palace Lord would jump out at the same time as Ji Yu's death.
