As the Dragon Country continuously added personnel to the Xuanmen Mechanism Hall, with most of the robotics talents being assigned, dozens of cultivation-oriented robots were manufactured within just a few days, thanks to their powerful manufacturing capabilities.
The Hall Master of the Xuanmen Mechanism Hall was greatly astonished, saying, "The manufacturing speed on this spaceship is too fast. They've already produced these so quickly."
The Deputy Hall Master of the Xuanmen Mechanism Hall beside him replied, "Because those spaceships are essentially intelligent manufacturing factories. Within this factory, all that's needed is good design to produce them. However, these are just purely mechanical mechs. Next, let's imbue these mechs with cultivation-oriented formations!"
The Hall Master of the Xuanmen Mechanism Hall said, "Good. I will also participate in inscribing formations on this first batch of mechs."
...
During this period, the Dragon Country continuously increased its military strength, even reducing resources in other areas. If this had happened a few years ago, the internal resources of the Dragon Country would definitely not have been sufficient. For instance, in terms of food, if most people were engaged in manufacturing and inventing weapons, then the fields would certainly lack people to cultivate them. This would inevitably lead to famine.
Now, this kind of situation would not occur. The Dragon Country had continuously acquired technology from the Tech World. After obtaining the technology of the Shiling Technology Civilization, intelligent automated farming emerged, and the Dragon Country no longer needed to worry about food. In addition to automated farming, there was also automated breeding. After some modifications to the Shiling Technology Civilization's techniques, it was entirely possible to breed dinosaurs in an automated manner on the dinosaur world planet. Moreover, in the future, when the Dragon Country's population exploded, they could establish space farms and plantations in space, and even transform nearby planets into habitable worlds for the people of the Dragon Country, and so on.
However, these matters were currently lower priorities for the Dragon Country. The Dragon Country needed to participate in the impending war between the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe and the Outer Universe to defend the portal to the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe. Only by guarding the portal to the Immortal-Demonic Great Universe could the Dragon Country ensure that everyone in the future could achieve the physique of Qi Refining through the tempering of spiritual energy in the Immortal-Demonic Great World, and that more than half of its population would possess cultivating physiques.
Time flew by, and a year and a half passed. During this period, the Dragon Country had truly spared no effort in enhancing its strength. To acquire certain cutting-edge technologies from the Shiling Technology Civilization, Su Han had even traded away the Five Revolutions Golden Immortal Pill. This pill could allow a being at the Earth Immortal level to advance to the strength of a Golden Immortal.
The Shiling Technology Civilization had previously exchanged many pills, elevating a Shiling person to the Earth Immortal realm. After consuming this Five Revolutions Golden Immortal Pill and reaching the strength of a Golden Immortal, this Shiling person destroyed the Shiling Technology Civilization's most powerful energy robot with a single move. The entire Shiling Technology Civilization was in an uproar. They had never expected that the pill exchanged by the Dragon Country civilization would have such an effect.
And with that, the Shiling people even exchanged their most powerful energy robot technology with the Dragon Country. Simultaneously, the Dragon Country also obtained the ultimate superweapon of the Shiling people's civilization.
Many people in the Dragon Country felt it was a pity to have traded away the Five Revolutions Golden Immortal Pill. However, Su Han did not feel pained, as there would be opportunities to obtain the Five Revolutions Golden Immortal Pill again in the future. Moreover, the realm of Golden Immortal was also achievable for the people of the Dragon Country through cultivation.
In the span of a year and a half, under Su Han's continuous lectures, many Earth Immortals appeared in the Dragon Country, and Lin Dong also successfully advanced to the Earth Immortal realm. However, only Chu Shi remained at the Celestial Immortal realm.
In a year and a half, the Dragon Country had prepared a great deal, yet much remained insufficient.
One day, on Chu Yun planet, Su Han, who had been cultivating in meditation, opened his eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Chu Yun, I didn't expect you to come. It seems time is running out!"
Chu Yun had appeared before Su Han at some unknown point.
Chu Yun said, "That's right, time is almost up. Fellow Daoist Su Han, during this period, your forces have produced so many weapons. They can finally be put to use."
Su Han replied, "Those weapons are still not enough."
Chu Yun said, "Don't worry. There's a formation set up there by a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Creatures from the outer universe won't be able to rush through all at once. They will send weaker creatures first, and only later will powerful beings appear."
Su Han asked, "When will the portal open?"
Chu Yun replied, "Three days from now, at the third hour after noon!"
...
Upon receiving this intelligence, Su Han immediately ordered the Dragon Country to deploy a large number of military forces around that portal.
Three days passed quickly.
At the third hour after noon, a powerful spatial rift appeared directly in the atmosphere.
A black substance emanated from this spatial rift.
Su Han felt that this substance was extremely malevolent.
Following this, the spatial rift rapidly expanded, soon reaching a diameter of ten meters.
Su Han's primary focus at this moment was not on the black substance. He could sense that this black substance was extremely evil.
Su Han sensed it and found that this black substance had some similarities to the Withered Disease, but it was not exactly the substance of the Withered Disease.
Su Han muttered, "What's going on? This isn't the substance of the Withered Disease? From the sensation, this substance seems even lower-grade than the Withered Disease. Could it be a subordinate substance of the Withered Disease?"
The black substance did not spread everywhere but remained near the spatial portal.
The Dragon Country was also using its combination of cultivation-oriented scientific instruments to analyze this spatial portal.
"Collecting data, detecting unknown substance."
"Collecting data, unable to probe the space on the other side of the spatial portal."
"Collecting data..."
After a period of being unable to detect, the instruments manufactured by the Dragon Country finally managed to detect something.
"Detecting biological entities emerging from the spatial portal."
An alarm was continuously sounding from one of the Dragon Country's instruments. Su Han also sensed the creature that was about to emerge from the spatial portal.
While the creature was still inside the spatial portal, Su Han could not sense its strength. It was only after the creature emerged from the spatial portal that Su Han could finally sense its power.
A creature at the Tribulation Stage, emitting that black substance.
It wasn't over once this Tribulation Stage creature emerged. More creatures, all emitting the black substance, followed one after another from the spatial portal. All these creatures could fly, and after emerging, they soared into the sky.
At this moment, the frontline deployed by the Dragon Country was the automated robot artillery.
A Lieutenant General of the Dragon Country gave the order to attack.
A barrage of artillery fire engulfed those creatures.
