nched his face and quickly opened all the trading pages on the card master network.Oh my god!The Heavenly Saint Empire had a plentiful supply of card makers, but Winter Lion was not like them. Lu Chen...To launch the next phase of Gong Jin's battle plan, we would need to construct a massive ram and at least three divine ships.

Gongjin wants to install horns for the Kun class.

Hanh is more gentle, not good at fighting, but he has some strength in his arms, and his body is also bigger than Leviathan.

But according to Master Lu's prediction, it would take at least ten times the current time to complete such a construction plan.

This won't do, Princess Longji is leaving next round. At most, spend some money and treat everyone to a good meal and extend the contract for three more rounds.

Moreover, leaving such a big fish on the hook could cause the Belmani to come in full force and fight desperately. After all, the longer we wait, the more things could go wrong.

Even if Huo Qubing, a renowned military strategist, had conducted ten simulated battles, the probability of failure would have been as high as 70%.

Li Cheng thoroughly reviewed the entire route and checked his deck.

The production issue is not in the raw materials.

Every turn, a large amount of high-quality ore is transported to the Great Wall. After luring Leviathan to retreat, Lu Cheng is closer to the Great Wall and the transportation cost (extra card draw consumption) has been reduced to an acceptable level.

Therefore, there is enough magnetite for mining and consumption, and the superior timber produced in Kunyu Shanhai can also be self-sufficient.

... after playing the Shan Hai Er tech card.

The production capacity of Kunyu's [Bei Ming Port] and [Tian Gong Yun Tai] is already stretched thin.

From any angle, the old card builds of the Troy era are no longer suitable for today.

Although the industry is old, it's still functional and not a hindrance.

The main problem still lies in the artificial processes of mechanical assembly, bio-cultivation, and ecological maintenance.

Because Lü Cheng led a full 80,000 auxiliary army unit.

There are at least 6,000 of them on the 【Agency Cloud Platform】, with keywords for construction added.

And over 20,000, with the launch of [Shan Hai Er], maintaining ecological stability and cultivating new species.

It can be said that everyone who could come, came, but there is still a shortage of manpower.

Actually, artificial intelligence has already been upgraded once.

After Lü Cheng issued the "Socialization Ordinance for Machine-Made Products" in the Two Qin regions.

Semi-mechanical beings have gradually replaced organic work, including semi-mechanized humans. Even severely injured cultivators can be equipped with mechanical golden pills. Although cultivation will no longer progress, it is at least a way out.

When a human or organism has an organ, its production capacity is enhanced, but the enhancement is limited.

Due to the Bio-Mechanismization Limitation Act, all cards and bio-mechanizations are currently prohibited from exceeding 50%, including even cases of artificial life.

Wounded soldiers who are missing over 50% of their body on the battlefield, but whose souls remain intact, can only choose to be 50% mechanically augmented. Even if it leaves them with permanent disabilities.

Because once it exceeds 50%, the card's keywords are no longer listed as "creature" and "mechanism", but become "mechanism" with "creature" just being one of the keywords.

Lu Cheng had thought about the Spirit Mind Mechanism Law before.

The core of Xian Dao Mechanism Arts lies in transforming all things into mechanisms. This card has been in Lu Cheng's hand for a long time.

Spirit Apparatus was very easy for him to achieve. At first, he reached the level of a half-immortal with the full system of Bio-Mechanical Organs, creating the [Lu Ban Tower]!

The advantage of a fully intelligent machine lies in the fact that it does not need to eat, drink, sleep or be entertained. As long as it has power, it can operate continuously. There is no more physical weakness, only the possibility of cognitive impairment, which may prevent it from completing complex tasks.

In that case, manual operation of machinery would be completely automated, further freeing up production capacity.

If Lu Cheng is willing to be the old demon, with his control over the Ghost Gate of Du Shuo, he could even make a deal with the Underworld and bring thousands of Berlman souls who died in the battle on the moor back.

Extracting souls from beings as their memories, transforming them into [Soul Engine Cores], and then encasing them in machinery. All these Soul Engines are deployed on production lines or battlefields.

But Lu Cheng knew he couldn't do that.

This is not a matter of deducting merit. Once this card comes out, society will at least regress to the slave era.

And could it trigger a disaster event like Leviathan, leading to core meltdown

This time the production capacity crisis came unexpectedly, yet it is truly severe.

What's most important is that the Yu Shen and Kun Cong Jiao belong to the **[Shan Hai Er] military equipment**, which represents cutting-edge technology. Neither of the two civilian machinery areas in Xianyang City can utilize them.

Even if it is used, it still lacks human touch.

After all, the auxiliary corps they brought with them were constantly undergoing special training in Kunyu Shanhai, handling various incidents every day. For something like the "Young God ", only their specially trained auxiliary corps could likely accomplish it.

"Well, what did the princess say" Lu Daoshi asked when he saw Lu Cheng arrive.

Ah Qing took her to see pandas. As a girl, she loved them. I estimate that she will stay for two years at most, but the problem is, where can I find someone with such high productivity during those two years

Gongjin came to urge again. He planned to use three Lesser Gods plus Longji Princess and her mount to control Leviathan, using their horn attacks to make Leviathan lose its posture within a single round.

"I know, hitting the northern fin will cause Leviathan to lose its posture. The low-star units and structures in the inner domain will fall south, creating some gaps. Then Kunyu can deploy combat power and occupy the high ground advantage, raining down firepower from above. It's a good strategy," Lu Cheng said with a sneer.

"The strategy is good, but the front line talks with their mouth and the rear struggles to keep up. I think it's difficult. Within three years, the first 'God' dorsal counter-reconnaissance module is estimated to be released." Lu Da Shi looked at the production line where even the monkeys were adjusting the mechanical arms.

"That's right." Lu Cheng licked his lips. "Master, do you remember when we were researching the Golden Elixir of Mechanisms back then Besides Gongshu Jia, uh, what else did we refer to"

"The Book of Master Craftsman, the Techniques of Warring State Engineers," Lu Ban said without hesitation.

Then Lu Cheng, with an unmoved expression, said, "Where is this En Shi"

Lu Ban's eyes lit up suddenly: "That's right! Perhaps this person could, given the current circumstances, research a way to directly create intelligent mechanisms without relying on biological souls."

Lu Cheng nodded.

The three schools of mechanical engineering each had their own strengths. The Mohist school and the Gongshu school were particularly adept at offense and defense respectively, excelling in heavy-duty siege weaponry and fortifications.

After unification, both offense and defense have become an art of intricate machinery.

And there is one more.

The artisan offered his skills, claiming that in the past he could recreate Queen of Zhou with mechanisms, dancing and singing.

If he were to live to see three Hundred Families contending period, could he solve this current bureaucratic crisis of overcapacity

"Are you going to look for the Master Alchemist" Lu Ban asked, "But he should be dead by now, shouldn't he"

The Master Craftsman has been around for a long time, he's not a cultivator nor a spirit. He's just an ordinary person who works with machinery. There's no way someone like him could last this long.

"Sharpening the blade doesn't delay chopping wood, three years is needed to complete preparations for war, sharpening is necessary, I will go. The strategist should indeed be dead already, but perhaps I can find a way to make sure he hasn't."

Okay, be careful.

Lu Cheng slowly took out his black card.

"Master, I know you're frugal and thrifty!

"

No one thought of it, you wouldn't draw it, but now I remember it, I'm afraid "

"

"Don't be so anxious, let me tell you a story. Listen to this. During the reign of King Mu of Zhou, Yan Shi presented his skills at court by constructing a mechanical figure resembling Queen Mu for a dance performance, which astonished everyone present. This banquet tonight, however, conceals the very person who plotted to assassinate King Zhou – Shen Gongbao."of Mount Wushan who granted me knowledge and taught me how to control water. That is natural... But there's another ghost-sword Dao, its fate may have already been fulfilled, and there's also your est...
