Cave Refuge-Chapter 845 - 543 Great Power Style_2

If mechanical creatures once had chips suited for household use, then the chips used on battleships absolutely belonged to military grade, with a world of difference between the two.

Only then did Dong Tianyu realize that during the days he spent underwater, a new natural disaster had emerged again, and if he wasn’t mistaken, it should be the Mechanoids invasion that had occurred before.

However, what previously invaded Blue Star were the animal-shaped mechanical creatures, while this time, the invaders were battleships at sea. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

It wasn’t until the two warships left the range of Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense that he again controlled his Companion Spiritual Treasure to resurface.

After briefly recalling the entire operation of those Martial Artists, Dong Tianyu had gained a preliminary understanding of the newly appeared warships.

In the beginning, the two human warships were firing at each other, likely "fishing" for something, and lacking intelligence, Dong Tianyu merely guessed that those Mechanoids warships had now become smarter.

For some reason, they seemed to only attack warships engaged in battle, so on the human side, to hunt these Mechanoids warships, they pretended to fight, just to lure the Mechanoids warships out.

The subsequent battle process was unremarkable, even if the Mechanoids warships had independent thinking ability, their combat methods were limited due to hardware constraints. Once the pattern was grasped, the rest became much simpler.

Just like last time, the Mechanoids affair was of little concern to Dong Tianyu; the most valuable chips inside the Mechanoids bodies held little value for him.

Although Dong Tianyu could dismantle the Mechanoids’ mechanical corpses to obtain some metals, the small amount meant little, and buying in large quantities would attract the attention of the Imperial Court. Thus, these rather futile items were essentially dispensable to Dong Tianyu.

This time wasn’t much different from the last; if those warship bodies could still be recycled and dismantled, Dong Tianyu might have taken an interest in them, but if those warships held no recycling value, then they’d be utterly inconsequential to him.

Dong Tianyu took out a tablet from the Storage Space, and just as he turned it on, continuous notification dings erupted from the device.

Dong Tianyu first checked the messages from his parents and found they were just routine concerns. After replying briefly, he opened the messages from others.

Before anything else, he made sure to check the messages from Ye Liuyun; perhaps because of the experience from last time, there weren’t many messages, but each was important.

The price of Mysterious Cores was fluctuating again, and for some reason, the Imperial Court had started to intervene and adjust the market prices.

To stabilize the price of Mysterious Cores, the Imperial Court established a fixed-price trading center with clear selling and buying prices for Mysterious Cores.

Maybe it was because the watercrafts the Imperial Court had originally planned to build had all been completed, which is why they now dared to set up a trading center in their direct water base to stabilize the prices of Mysterious Cores.

There once were businessmen who scornfully attempted to challenge this, but their attempts were downright unlucky and eventually fizzled out, fading from people’s memories.

Besides the Imperial Court’s meddling with the Mysterious Cores, there was also the Mechanoids invasion.

This invasion was completely different from the last; perhaps the adversaries had underestimated Blue Star’s combat abilities previously, so the mechanical creatures sent then were not very powerful.

As a result, towards the end, those Mechanoid creatures were beaten back, hiding on the other side of the teleportation channel, too scared to emerge.

This time, the Mechanoids creatures were well prepared; as soon as the teleportation channel opened, they arranged for the maximum force that the channel could withstand to pass directly through and descend onto Blue Star.

In fact, if it were just the Mechanoids warships, even with fierce firepower, they didn’t pose much of a threat to Martial Artists with high Cultivation Levels.

It wasn’t just martial artists in the Path Entry Realm, even those in the Energy Refining Realm could essentially eradicate an entire Mechanoids warship singlehandedly if they boarded one.

But now a problem has arisen: the Mysterious Ship can merge with any ship to create a new Mysterious Realm.

After the Mysterious Ship merges with a Mechanoids warship, it not only generates a Mysterious Realm in the cabin, but also doesn’t interfere with the firing of the missiles and cannons on deck.

From the recent actions of those martial artists, Dong Tianyu realized that the core of the Mechanoids warship was the pile of instruments and equipment protected by the protective shield in the cabin.

Think about it, if a Mysterious Ship merges with a Mechanoids warship and the Mysterious Realm is confined to the cabin in China, then to destroy such a warship, one would have to clear the Mysterious Realm inside the cabin first and then find a way to destroy the energy protective shield safeguarding the instruments.

Due to the appearance of the Mysterious Ship, they were trapped in the Mysterious Realm within the cabin, and if they didn’t break out of the Mysterious Realm in time, the instruments on the warship would be invincible.

While the Mysterious Realm might be a place to gain resources for those powerful martial artists, they didn’t consider where they were standing.

Once inside the Mysterious Realm, if they didn’t exit in time, what awaited them upon returning were those battle-ready mechanical creatures.

When those Mechanoids warships first appeared, the Hunting Teams were like pioneer squads in a game, literally using their lives to collect intelligence about the Mechanoids warships.

Ultimately, the method to deal with the Mechanoids warships would have remained a closely guarded secret of the Hunting Teams if the Imperial Court hadn’t made it public.

Of course, the reason the Imperial Court went public with the information on the Mechanoids warships was not just to reduce casualties among the survivors, but also because the Imperial Court was in desperate need of the Central Control Chips in the main control equipment within the warships’ cabins.

To use such a chip, the technology level had to reach a certain point, and without the relevant instruments and equipment, even if one were to obtain such a chip, it wouldn’t be much different from scrap iron.

But for the Imperial Court, this chip was an ’invaluable treasure’, so in order to acquire a large number of chips, the Imperial Court not only disclosed the information on how to combat the Mechanoids warships for free but also offered high purchase prices.

This is why quite a few Hunting Teams resorted to every possible method to hunt down the Mechanoids warships and obtain the chips inside the central control instruments in the cabins.

Having read through Ye Liuyun’s information and the detailed strategy that followed, Dong Tianyu finally understood all the actions of those martial artists he had seen earlier.

Besides the two notification messages, Ye Liuyun also urged Dong Tianyu to return as soon as possible, as if there was something quite important to discuss with him in person due to concerns about the security of network communications, which is why the details would only be disclosed upon a face-to-face meeting.

As for the somewhat cryptic matters concerning Ye Liuyun, Dong Tianyu didn’t particularly care, but since it had been a long time since he had been back home, he decided to take this opportunity to check on his parents’ situation.

Then he would look for Ye Liuyun to see what kind of situation he had encountered; Ye Liuyun insisted that a phone call wouldn’t suffice and wanted to speak in person.

After sending Ye Liuyun an estimated time of return, Dong Tianyu began to meticulously go through the rest of the notifications in the notification bar, although the majority of the information had already expired and was no longer relevant.

However, there were still two messages worth noting: one was that the water airport in Kyoto had been completed, and the freight and passenger transportation that had been interrupted during the calamity were about to be resumed.

Besides that, there was another important message: a foreign fleet had arrived at Magic City’s Base One because some of the crew members had violated China’s laws.

To uncover the truth of the incident, the constables of the Governmental Office in Magic City’s Base One directly detained the entire fleet.

Upon reading this message, Dong Tianyu finally understood what was meant by the demeanor of a great power and the legitimacy of taking action.
