<h4>Chapter 3 – Sr Umbres</h4>
Trantor: Xaiomoge
The ck Rock Town was located next to the Autumn Leaf Town, and it had severalrge mines in its surroundings. The ck Rock Town was the wealthiest town of the 38 towns under the Giant Stone City’s administration.
A tall, blue-haired and blue-eyed and hook-nosed man with a cold glimmer in his eyes was sitting in a luxurious room. The man sneered: “With the the Autumn Leaf Town as coteral, that trash Zhao Jiang wants to borrow 5,000 gold coins from me to redeem Ms. Sissi? Ha-ha, for the sake of a woman, he’ll even sell the estate of his ancestors, what a good-for-nothing!”
The tall westerner was Baron Kirov, the master of the ck Rock Town. He ruled the ck Rock Town with an iron fist. Upon hearing his name, people in the ck Rock Town would shudder in fear.
“If I’d known that he’s such a waste, then I wouldn’t have taken the risk and invited the ck Scorpion to assassinate him. I wasted 500 gold coins.” Baron Kirov frowned and muttered doubtfully: “The ck Scorpion reported that they murdered Zhao Jiang, what’s going on? Did they cheat me?”
After musing for a good while, Baron Kirov raised his head, looked at the man wearing a butler uniform standing beside him, and said: “Gerry, go tell Zhao Jiang that I’ll only lend him 2,500 gold coins at a monthly interest of 4%. The Autumn Leaf Town is only worth 2,500 gold coins. Furthermore, in 2 months’ time, he is to repay the loan, principal and interest included.”
Gerry responded respectfully and withdrew himself: “Yes! Master!”
Kirov revealed acent smile: “In another 2 months, the Autumn Leaf Town will be in my bag! If this valuable piece ofnd falls into my hands, it’ll me at least 2,000 gold coins per year.”
The Autumn Leaf Town possessed a lot ofnd suitable for farming in its surroundings. Suppressed by Giant Stone City and Baron Kirov, the Zhao Family was so poverty-stricken that it couldn’t even take out 1,000 gold coins.
If Kirov were in control of the Autumn Leaf Town, the as long as he managed it a bit and moved arge number of people from other ces to reim thend, he would be able to gain huge profits.
The Autumn Leaf Town.
“Living as a lesser aristocrat in this alien, backwards world isn’t asfortable as living as an ordinary citizen in modern society!” Yang Feng sighed gloomily as he walked the Autumn Leaf Town’s streets.
In this alien world, there was no television, inte, or beverages. This world was extremelycking in terms of entertainment.
Breakfast was white bread with potato soup, lunch was also white bread with potato soup, and dinner was white bread with meat broth. Yang Feng had eaten this kind of food for several days now, he felt that his digestive system was getting sick of it.
However, after seeing the ck bread and water that the Autumn Leaf Town’s residents had to constantly ingested over the years, he felt that his food was already quite good.
In the Autumn Leaf Town, Yang Feng possessed great authority. He could even abduct women as he pleased. However, there were only a few dozen young girls in the town, and they had pretty mediocre looks. Apart from youthful and lively, it was difficult to find any girl that could be regarded as good-looking.
In fact, with his terrifying influence, he only had to beckon with his finger for any single girl in the town to voluntarily go into his bed. However, he wasn’t interested in any of them.
Zhao Jiang had been single because he couldn’t find any girl in the Autumn Leaf Town he fancied.
In summary, Yang Feng, who was the head of the Autumn Leaf Town as well as a baron, couldn’t enjoy life as much as an ordinary citizen of modern Earth.
After crossing the Autumn Leaf Town, Yang Feng entered a small house in the bands to the north.
He entered a room and said loudly: “3796, let’s begin! I can’t wait any longer!”
<Yes! Master, please choose objects to be created!> Lights erupted from 3796’s hand, and images of various modern-looking buildings and equipment appeared in midair.
Yang Feng quickly made his choice: “Energy needs to be put first! Let’s start with 100 sr umbres!”
3796 could synthesize any matter, but this required the consumption of a lot of energy. Energy was its life, so to speak. At present, the situation was fairly peaceful, so Yang Feng chose to build energy absorption units.
At the moment, sr umbres were the most suitable energy absorption units.
3796 quickly went outside, extended his hands, and released blue light, illuminating a pile of iron ore.
The pile of iron ore quickly dposed into steel lumps and other substances under the blue light.
Then the steel lumps mixed together with some other materials and formed numerousponents, which automatically assembled into an umbre-like sr umbre under the blue light.
Once the sr umbre was formed, a thread extended out of 3796 and pierced into the bottom of the sr umbre, absorbing the sr umbre’s energy.
Every half an hour, an additional sr umbre would appear in the bands.
A dayter, 48 sr umbres were scattered over the bands.
Two dayster, 96 sr umbres appeared in the bands.
On the third day, there was an additional engineering robot beside 3796. The robot was 3 meters tall, had a cylindrical shape, and had 16 mechanical arms. Each mechanical arm was equipped with different broaches – drill bits, hammer, pliers, electric welder, and other.
On the fourth day, the number of engineering robots increased to 3, and the number of sr umbres increased to 200.
On the fifth day, the number of engineering robots increased to 9, and the number of sr umbres increased to 300.
On the sixth day, the number of engineering robots increased to 27, and the number of sr umbres increased to 400.
On the seventh day, the number of engineering robots increased to 81, and the number of sr umbres increased to 500.
On the eighth day, the number of engineering robots increased to 243, and the number of sr umbres increased to 600.
On the ninth day, the bands underwent an earth-shaking change – factories appeared almost out of thin air, bringing along a continuous string of rumbling noises.
On the tenth day, as if flowers sprouting on the bands, there were 2,000 sr umbres frantically absorbing energy.
The once covered with stones and impossible to be cultivated bands, had be an enormous factoryplex. The factories littering the enormous factoryplex emitted waves of mechanical rumbling noises.
<Wee, Master!> When Yang Feng approached the enormous factoryplex, two guards with des on their back standing in front of the gate of the factoryplex knelt on the ground and said with cold, mechanical voices.
Yang Feng swept the two guards, who looked almost identical to humans, with a nce and, without saying a word, proceeded towards a factory in the factoryplex.
After he entered the factoryplex, the two guards stood up virtually at the same time, their movements exactly the same.
Yang Feng went straight towards thergest factory and entered it.
Inside, there was a huge metal sphere suspended in the air. A number of mechanical tentacles, serving as different tools, extended from the huge metal sphere and assembled one robots after another from the parts moving atop assembly lines.
After stepping out of the assembly line, the robots immediately left the factory and entered other factories to act as workers, refining various metals and producingponents.
3796 came up to Yang Feng and asked: <Master, what are your orders?>
Yang Feng responded: “I came to have a look at the factory’s production status. Report!”
3796 said: <At present, there are 378 production-type robots. If necessary, it’s possible to produce another 500 units within a day. However, I must remind you that we’recking iron ore! The current demand of iron ore isrge.>
