Chapter 2374 On the Last Day, Take Advantage of the Chaos!

Without saying a word, Li Yao poured his spiritual energy into his eyes, turned his eyesight to the limit, and carefully observed the workers in the big iron factory.

From such a distance, the workers moving among the blast furnaces, pipes and various steel structures look like black and brown ants.

Most of them wrapped themselves tightly in gray cloaks, and wore simple protective masks and goggles, but the exposed skin was smeared into taupe and dark black by dust and pollutants, and they wore protective earplugs. Because of this, the actions appear dull and sluggish, really like mechanical reptiles with an unwound clockwork, or a group of lifeless walking dead.

Li Yao finally understands why the Worry-free Sect can expand in the big iron factory without being discovered. No matter whether these workers have practiced "Wangyoujue" or not, they don't seem to have any emotions, just like metal-fatigued machines!

Most of the workers were working hard in the depths of the mine or inside the factory, so they couldn't be seen directly, but Li Yao saw rows of workers crawling out from the depths of the mine dragging cart after cart of raw ore.

Even such simple jobs that can be replaced by psionic puppets are all undertaken by primitive miners. Wherever Li Yao can see, the only psionic puppets he can see are the supervisors who are all over the commanding heights. A large iron factory turned out to be mechanically supervising human work, maintaining a cruel and iron-blooded order!

Li Yao even saw that in a corner of the factory area, there was a cross-shaped execution platform. A primitive miner was tied up on it, but there was a battle puppet, holding an electromagnetic whip, and slammed into the miner's scarred back. Take away.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Sparks flew everywhere, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the original miner was so painful that he couldn't live without it, and screamed terribly.

There were also hundreds of primitive miners who were forced to watch by the fighting puppets. Their mouths and noses were covered by protective masks, and their expressions could not be seen clearly, but judging from the twitching of their shoulders, it was obvious that they were in extreme fear and extreme anger.

And looking at the blood-stained appearance around the execution platform, it is obvious that people are sent here every now and then to kill others.

Li Yao clenched his fists and murmured, "What crime did this worker commit to be beaten like this?"

Lord Long Yang said: "He was whipped more than a dozen times. It's always a big crime like damaging a mining magic weapon, rather than a small crime like going to the toilet for too long?"

Li Yao was taken aback: "What, it's a 'petty crime' to go to the bathroom for too long, so they all have to be whipped?"

"Of course, the cultivator supports so many workers and pays them every month. They don't want you to go to the toilet all day long."

Long Yang Jun said, "According to the difference in gender and age, there are different time limits for going to the toilet. If you don't return to your work station after five minutes, it is a violation of the rules of the big iron factory, and you must at least get a whip."

Li Yao was stunned for a long time, then carefully observed the commanding heights and firepower points around the entire big iron factory, and continued to ask: "I think the battle puppets set here by the immortal cultivators are indeed quite advanced, and they are better than Xiao Xuance's Taixu fighters back then. It is much better, but why don’t you see too many civilian puppets? A lot of simple and repetitive crude work can be done with civilian puppets, right?

"It's strange to say that the overall technological strength of the Empire is at least decades ahead of the Federation. This is true in terms of military magic weapons and combat puppets, but it seems that there is no advantage in civil magic weapons, civilian puppets, and the unified spirit net. Even in In some fields, the Federation is even better!"

"Don't you understand, because there is no such demand!"

Long Yangjun whispered, "Your Star Federation pays more attention to safeguarding the rights and interests of ordinary people, resulting in extremely high costs for factories to hire ordinary people. If you want to reduce costs, you can only invest a lot of new technologies and new resources in industrial automation. As well as the research and development field of civilian puppets, replacing the original workers with civilian puppets, there is a demand in this area first, and there will be a technological explosion.

"However, the empire has absolutely no worries about this, and can unscrupulously reduce the cost of using the original people to the limit, without any consideration of benefits, rights and interests, or even occupational diseases.

"At the same time, the empire can also use various methods with strong side effects, such as activating the demonization gene or overloading the use of stimulant drugs, to improve the work efficiency of the original people and expand the cost advantage.

"Under such circumstances, of course the empire's civilian puppet industry cannot develop. All new technologies and new resources are invested in how to squeeze the original people dry!

"The principle of unifying the spiritual network is the same. In fact, no matter whether it is the four major families or the local warlords and world lords, even the underground emperor like Li Minghui, they don't like to connect the entire empire together, because the spiritual network means Information, and information is inherently equal, dangerous, and uncontrollable.

"They prefer to close themselves up and become kings behind closed doors, or only put in information that is beneficial to them, and brainwash the original people. Under such circumstances, it is strange that the Great Unification Spirit Network has developed!

"So, it's not that the technology of the Empire is inferior to that of the Federation, it's that the development direction of each other is different. Don't underestimate the combat puppets in front of you. I once stole one and disassembled it. It is indeed very sophisticated, very complicated, and very advanced. of!"

"I know."

Li Yao watched as a small group of fighting puppets finished whipping the original miners, and another group of fighting puppets came forward to heal and apply medicine to the victims, and a group of fighting puppets escorted the other miners back to the mine. The whole process was orderly, without any disturbance, not even half a cultivator was around to direct.

This means that the control crystal brains of these combat puppets have advanced to a certain level, and they can independently make quite complex logical judgments and simulate various situations.

With such a powerful control crystal brain, their combat effectiveness will naturally not be weak.

However, Li Yao still didn't understand, "Why don't you see any immortal cultivators around the entire ironworks, all are fighting puppets maintaining order, isn't Li Minghui here?"

"As you can see, the environment here is too harsh, and immortal cultivators will naturally not stay here all day."

Long Yangjun said, "Generally speaking, the management team composed of immortal cultivators and the private soldiers of the Black Iron Group will stay in the upper space. There is a large-scale training ground 500 meters above the big iron factory. And the rest area, that is the residence of the immortals.

"And Li Minghui seldom stays underground. He mainly spends time on the surface in the world of cultivating immortals. He goes through the back door and forms gangs to deal with business!

"However, the strength of the big iron factory in the past few days is indeed very empty. You have changed the world on the ground, and it has also caused turmoil in the underground world. Many underground sects and groups that were originally attached to the Dongfang family have all become bereaved dogs. They are in constant fear, Li Minghui But he took the most capable thugs under his command, took the opportunity to expand the territory wantonly, devoured the big and small forces in the vicinity, and changed all the people with the surname of "Dongfang" into the surname of "Li". ?

"Because of the chaos in the underground world, the Worriless Sect is planning to take advantage of the chaos to revolt. Counting the time, there is still the last day!"

After observing clearly the distribution of troops and the surrounding environment of the big iron factory, the two silently retracted back to the depths of the mine, and then sneaked into the mines all around the big iron factory along the unknown hidden gaps. Living Area.

This is a mess of shacks and caves, which are the homes of the workers. Not only all the workers' families live here, but also many providers of food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink and entertainment. Merchant of the underground space.

Compared with the depressing, cold and lifeless factory area, although it develops disorderly like crazy ant nests and beehives, it has a bit of vitality. The voice of people gesticulating and screaming can occasionally even overwhelm the top of the head. noise.

Long Yangjun told Li Yao that the immortal cultivators adopt a laissez-faire attitude towards the original people outside the factory area, and rarely go deep into the stinking shacks in the living area to search and maintain order. Those cultivators are unwilling to pinch their noses and come to such a dirty and oily place.

Originally, Li Minghui also thought about using the fighting puppet as the police in the living area to strictly control all the original people. Later, he found that there were too many emergencies in the living area, and the environment was too complicated. The crystal brain of the fighting puppet could not handle it at all. If you want to turn the "soldiers" who simply kill and suppress into "policemen" who take care of all trivial matters, you need to replace the crystal brain by at least two levels.

Calculating that the price was too high, and there was no need for it, Li Minghui dismissed the idea, and only appointed some senior miners who seemed to be law-abiding to act as the managers of the living quarters. What happened to Yuanren's living quarters was not his concern.

The great protector of Wuyou Sect is named "Xu Zhicheng". He was originally a well-known model worker in the big iron factory. After his two sons left one after another, in order to express his "preferential treatment", the group made him a community member. the manager.

Now that Xu Zhicheng has become the great protector of Wuyou Sect, he naturally has a way to organize the area under his jurisdiction in an orderly manner, making it the area with the best law and order and the least trouble for immortal cultivators. The workers living in this area are especially hard-working and productive The efficiency is particularly high, and in this way, he gradually gained the trust of the group's senior management. One piece after another, the living areas are managed by his method, that is, one piece after another, they are turned to Wuyoujiao. Until today, all the surrounding living areas have been taught by Wuyoujiao High penetration and firm control, in turn surrounded the big iron factory and the black iron group in the middle!
