Also.
The Tianxuan Kingdom, including the areas currently under attack, covers an area roughly the size of five provinces. With such a vast territory brought under control, even though it's a feudal nation with sparse population, the number of people is still considerable.
The talents cultivated over the years, plus those assisting in the takeover, mean that on average, dozens of people are managing tens of thousands. It's unavoidable that locals will be employed.
This will also leave hidden dangers.
According to Black Star's design, it will take more than half a year to fully bring the Tianxuan Kingdom under control.
This is something Han Fei cannot tolerate.
Therefore, he decided to expand the production of educational machines.
"To round it off, let's make... another 450,000 sets."
A grand 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 serving as logistical support for the conquest of another world.
Han Fei concealed this matter very well.
With the daily affairs keeping him busy, time quickly passed, and a month went by.
The matter had been settled.
The entire Tianxuan Kingdom was 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 indeed tried to take advantage of the situation, but even with their large numbers, the army only dispatched a few artillery battalions and infantry companies, directly bombarding them back. Their numerical superiority and cavalry advantage were rendered completely useless in the face of firearms and cannons, and they were blown to smithereens. The name "Flame Demon" began to spread throughout the continent.
After repelling them, the army had no intention of pushing further. The main reason was that there were too few people and too much to eat; if this continued, they would be stuffed.
And within this month, Han Fei had divided the five provinces into five regions.
Educational institutions were established in each region, where people were brought in to undergo re-education. Of course, unlike the "Damage Law," this was a different version of a virtual world. It was a subtle form of learning, with no mortality rate. Naturally, the effect wouldn't be as terrifying.
It was simply a way for them to learn to read, acquire basic values, and absorb some minor ideologies.
It was merely a slight interference with people's thoughts.
Each person only needed to spend three days inside, and upon emerging, they would be vastly different from before.
This marked a significant transformation from ancient people to modern people.
In just one month, five million people had their minds changed and began to support it from the bottom of their hearts.
Efficient and fast.
Another ten million will gradually undergo this process over the next two months.
On the practical side, each of the five regions was divided into cities, counties, and towns. They began to follow a certain model, building asphalt roads, brick houses, establishing refractory factories, mining, opening shops, and developing industry and commerce.
Currently, the entire Tianxuan Kingdom exhibits a strange, distorted prosperity.
Some regions are already moving towards semi-modernization, while others are still stuck in the 1980s, and the majority remain in their previous state.
As for the law, it was a case of "harsh laws for chaotic times." Any slight misstep would result in imprisonment, with no room for "verbal education."
The most severe punishment was not the death penalty, but a form of punishment called "Damage Education," a punishment that was incomprehensible.
There was also agriculture, with many new high-yield seeds being researched for cultivation.
Most importantly, the printing of currency and finance were also slowly integrating, extensively transforming this backward world into something resembling 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 a wolf were biting at his heels.
Forward, forward.
As for the hidden dangers, they could be dealt with slowly later.
Order after order was issued.
A large amount of basic resources was purchased and transported by the Black Star Group, and then continuously shipped in. The sheer quantity was even starting to affect the group's cash flow.
In short.
The transformation of the Tianxuan Star is currently proceeding in an orderly manner.
The future is promising.
And aside from these political and livelihood matters.
Militarily.
Han Fei was still expanding the army.
Excluding the 13,000 elite modern troops, The Dawn Alliance, located on Earth, also provided approximately seven thousand "educated" prisoners.
Finally, a large number of educated Tianxuan people were absorbed, numbering around twenty thousand.
The total number adds up to forty thousand.
This is the current total military strength of the Tianxuan Kingdom (excluding those who defected as cannon fodder).
Defense is more than sufficient; offense is slightly lacking (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 great nations."
"For now, send the Mecha to display our military might, coupled with the reputation of destroying the Tianxuan Kingdom, to try and make them surrender. This will save time and reduce population losses."
Han Fei said this.
Black Star relayed the orders.
BOOM BOOM!!
A massive thermal axe cleaved through the air, striking downwards.
The city walls cracked, debris flying everywhere.
From the Mecha, rocket launchers fired, exploding into bloody fireworks, while Laser Guns continuously went biubiu, slaughtering lives.
Surrender throughout.
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, which clearly did not belong to the feudal era, were attacking Giant Rock Number Three.
A terrifying metal storm unleashed violent output.
If unprotected ordinary people were present, they would immediately turn into bloody mist.
No damage.
That's right.
No damage.
Facing such attacks, Giant Rock Number Three simply charged forward.
Then, it fired its rocket launchers, swept with its Laser Gun, and finally, without using the thermal axe, it activated its laser sword. The scorching light sword cut all the robots in half.
It also sliced through the city walls behind them as easily as cutting butter.
In the face of such divine power, the capital city quickly raised a white flag, waving left and right.
The king, wearing a rather sci-fi-looking white head-ring, was captured on the spot.
Dawn Alliance Capital City.
Military District Underground Experimental Base.
Looking at this written report.
"I knew it, something was bound to go wrong."
"Fortunately, I never let my guard down."
Chapter 47: The Divine River Legacy 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. Through structural and external analysis, they do not belong to Earth's style..."
In the laboratory.
Several researchers in white coats were busy around a workbench. On the table was a humanoid robot, two meters tall, equipped with cannons and guns.
It was currently being disassembled and studied.
However, the person in charge was not Hexi, but a middle-aged man with a receding hairline.
"Supervisor Gu, this robot..."
A researcher approached with a notebook, describing something.
Gu Qi nodded continuously.
That's right.
Gu Qi.
He was the talent who successfully climbed the ranks in the Wind Eagle Armor project through flattery. Currently, within the research system led by Hexi, he held a certain position, which is why he was assigned this task.
As for Hexi.
In another laboratory, Hexi rubbed her temples wearily after completing thirty-three projects for the day.
Her body felt no fatigue, but her mind was inevitably tired.
"Black Star!"
"Did you summon the king?"
Watching Gu Qi still receiving a report through the glass, Han Fei didn't go in for the moment.
Black Star's voice rang out.
"I did. This is the information obtained from him. Please review it."
A projection appeared before him.
"Thousands of years ago, a god with three fingers, who bled, descended from the sky. Beneath him was a giant silver-white divine beast? It's somewhat similar to our machines. I suspect it was a spaceship? And this king claims to be a descendant of a god?"
Han Fei's expression was calm.
Along with this information was a portrait.
This was passed down by their ancestors; it was the appearance of their progenitor.
It was a tall figure, his appearance unclear, wearing ancient armor. Beneath his feet was a silver-white spaceship, which was particularly striking.
The most noteworthy thing was that he only had three fingers.
And the massive wound that ran from his shoulder to his waist, almost diagonally splitting him in two.
"Did he leave a name?"
"No. According to legend, this ancestor of theirs left no messages. We only know that his surname seemed to be Jia."
