"Boss, are you just going to let him go like that?"
Grey Wolf withdrew his gaze from the control room screen, looked at Qin Feng, and scratched his chin with a claw.
"That old guy clearly isn't honest. What if he goes back to tip them off and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan runs away?"
Qin Feng turned around and walked back toward the elevator inside the city wall.
"Run?"
"He can't run."
"The Nanobots I injected into his body aren't just simple trackers and bombs."
"They are signal base stations and mobile virus sources."
"From the moment he steps into the sect of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, the genetic information of every direct bloodline member in their family will be silently collected and uploaded."
"By then, even if they run to the ends of the earth, my Rod of God will be able to precisely locate every person with the surname 'Yu'."
Grey Wolf's deadpan eyes lit up.
"Damn, Boss, you're planning to wipe out their entire clan! And at the genetic level, too!"
"No."
Qin Feng corrected him.
"I am simply establishing a precise 'target user profile database'."
"War, too, requires attention to user experience."
The elevator doors opened at the central control room on the third underground level.
Qin Feng walked to the main console, looking at the crowds in Nuoding City on the screen, who were slightly uneasy due to the recent battle.
Blocking a Titled Douluo alone was not enough.
He needed to make these people truly participate.
He needed them to understand that this war was being fought for their own sake.
"Red Queen."
Qin Feng gave an order to the empty control room.
[I am here, sir.]
A pleasant electronic female voice echoed from all directions.
"In the name of the Nuoding City Municipal Management Committee, issue a Level 1 war mobilization order to the entire city."
[Command confirmed.]
[May I ask, what is the specific content of the mobilization order?]
"It's very simple."
Qin Feng pulled up a brand-new 3D design blueprint. It was a flight vehicle filled with violent aesthetics, resembling an armed helicopter, but powered by anti-gravity engines.
"Tell all citizens that in three days, we will launch an expedition against the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan."
"This is not a war that belongs to me personally; this is our Nuoding City's first roar against the old world."
"I need weapons, and I need vehicles."
Qin Feng tapped his finger lightly on the design blueprint.
"Distribute the design blueprint for this Conqueror Type I aerial assault craft to every citizen's identity ID terminal."
"Tell them I need one thousand units."
"Within three days."
Nuoding City, First Industrial Park.
Tie Shan was leading over a hundred blacksmiths under his command, sweating profusely as they learned how to operate the brand-new "mother machines."
Just a moment ago, they had successfully used that 5,000-ton hydraulic press to stamp out the first piece of flawless, hundred-refined steel.
That kind of revolutionary production efficiency made these men, who had spent their entire lives smithing, so excited they almost knelt before the machine on the spot.
"Everyone, keep your damn spirits up!"
Tie Shan roared at the top of his lungs.
"The boss gave us such awesome things, not for us to use as decorations!"
"If you can't learn to read the blueprints by the end of the day, nobody gets dinner!"
Just then.
"Hum—"
All the lighting systems in the factory suddenly turned red, signaling a warning.
Immediately after, the emotionless yet incredibly clear voice of the Red Queen echoed in every corner.
[Level 1 War Mobilization Order.]
[Attention all citizens, Nuoding City will launch a righteous crusade in three days against the 'Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan', an old power that has stolen the people's wealth and disregarded the law.]
[The production mission for the 'Conqueror Type I' aerospace assault craft is now released.]
[Mission Objective: One thousand units.]
[Mission Deadline: Seventy-two hours.]
[All citizens participating in the production mission will receive triple standard work-hour credits and priority allocation rights for the new generation of alloy safe houses.]
The blacksmiths were stunned into silence.
A crusade?
Fighting that Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, which sounded incredibly formidable just by its name?
With just us?
Tie Shan's mind was also reeling; he instinctively activated the device on his wrist that had just been issued to him, known as a "Citizen ID Terminal."
A light screen projected outward.
On it was the complete design blueprint of a sci-fi-looking flying machine they had never seen before.
Every part and every module was broken down with absolute clarity.
Beside it were detailed production processes and assembly videos that were shockingly thorough.
"My god..."
A young blacksmith leaned in to take a look, his mouth hanging wide open.
"This... this thing... are we supposed to build this?"
The voice of Red Queen rang out once again.
['Conqueror Type I' has undergone modular simplification design.]
[The First Industrial Park is responsible for producing the core keel and armor modules.]
[The materials required for the mission, 'TC4 Titanium Alloy', have been delivered to Warehouse No. 3 by automated transport robots.]
[The 'High-Precision Laser Cutter' and 'Automatic Welding Robotic Arm' required for production will complete installation and debugging in ten minutes.]
[All craftsmen, please prepare for reception.]
Before the voice finished speaking.
The factory dome slowly opened, and over a dozen massive shipping containers were lowered in by Anti-Gravity Transport.
The containers opened, revealing rows of brand-new production equipment shimmering with a cold metallic luster.
Tie Shan stared blankly at all of this, then looked down at the incredibly clear blueprints on his terminal.
He suddenly understood.
The boss wasn't asking them to build planes with hammers.
The boss had given them a complete set of magical tools capable of turning blueprints into reality!
All they had to do was learn, and then... create!
An unprecedented surge of adrenaline rushed straight to his head!
To hell with the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex!
If I can build a plane, why should I be afraid of a shock-emitting loach?
"What are you all standing there for!"
Tie Shan slammed his thigh and roared at the group of blacksmiths who were still dazed.
"Didn't you hear? The boss wants us to build a thousand of these!"
"This is trust! It means he thinks highly of us blacksmiths!"
"Everyone, get moving!"
"Even if we don't sleep for three days and three nights, we have to do this job beautifully!"
"Let the boss see that we blacksmiths aren't just useless people who only know how to hammer iron!"
"We are, goddammit, engineers capable of building flying wonders!"
"ROAR!!"
The entire industrial park erupted with a thunderous roar.
At the same time, in a newly renovated classroom at the First Work-Study Academy in Nuoding City.
A group of children, ranging from six to twelve years old, were looking at the holographic projection desks in front of them with expressions of novelty.
A Guardian wearing Power Armor was explaining basic physics with his emotionless, synthesized mechanical voice.
"According to Newton's Second Law, F equals ma..."
Suddenly, the main screen in the classroom simultaneously broadcasted the mobilization order from Red Queen.
The children were initially stirred into a state of commotion and fear.
But immediately after, the image on the screen shifted, turning into a real-time battlefield simulation relayed by high-altitude drones.
A blue dot representing Nuoding City and a red zone representing the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan appeared on a massive map.
"Students, do not panic."
"This is a vivid practical lesson on 'information warfare'."
The voice of Guardian rang out.
"Look, the enemy's troop deployment, their spirit master levels, and even the location of their sect treasury are all crystal clear before our Eagle Eye system."
On the screen, the heavily guarded mountain gate of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan was instantly magnified, its internal structure dissected layer by layer.
Even the exact locations of hidden sentries were clearly marked with red circles.
"And to the enemy, we are a complete black box."
"They do not know how many weapons we have, they do not know the range of our weapons, and they certainly do not know from which angle we will launch our attack in the next second."
"This is what we call an information gap."
"In modern warfare, mastering information is equivalent to mastering victory."
A boy with a sturdy, tiger-like head raised his hand.
"Teacher, that's not fair!"
"Yeah, they don't even know we're going to hit them; that's just bullying!"
The children began to chatter all at once.
In their simple worldview, a fight should be face-to-face and honorable.
Guardian's red eyepiece flickered.
"Fairness?"
"When they stood high above, using their so-called 'bloodlines' and 'spirit rings' to decide that your parents could only toil like beasts of burden for their entire lives, did they ever speak to you about fairness?"
"When they enjoyed the wealth you created with peace of mind, yet were unwilling to share even a single grain of rice with you, did they speak of fairness then?"
"No, they did not."
"Therefore, we do not need it either."
"What we need is to use more advanced productivity, more powerful weapons, and crushing victories to create a brand-new fairness that belongs to us."
"Remember, children."
"Truth only exists within the range of our cannons."
"And our range covers the entire sea of stars."
In the classroom, all the children fell silent.
They looked at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan on the screen, now completely "stripped bare," and the fear in their eyes gradually faded away.
Replacing it was a sense of novelty, mixed with a glow of excitement and fanaticism.
So, this is how war... can be fought?
This wasn't just fighting a war.
This was clearly playing a guaranteed-win game with a full-map hack enabled!
This feeling was simply exhilarating!
