When Chen Xin arrived at the base of the European aid fleet aboard the Land Ship, even though he was accustomed to all sorts of grand scenes, he was still amazed by the construction achievements they had made.

It must be said that with the ability to massively utilize 3D printing technology, the Flame Country, already possessing strong infrastructure capabilities, seemed to have been unleashed, displaying construction abilities that even Chen Xin, with his systematic approach, found astonishing.

The European aid fleet hadn’t been in Europe for long, just a little over a month, yet the base in front of Chen Xin had already transformed into a vast industrial production area.

Massive mining machinery, several stories high, was operating, directly excavating the mountainside nearby. Large amounts of rock were being shattered and transported via conveyors to another gigantic machine behind the mining apparatus for crushing and sorting.

The selected ore was directly delivered into an even larger production facility for smelting. After processing into raw materials, it was cooled with the aid of the cold environment on the conveyor belt before being transported to a huge 3D printing site nearby, where it was printed into massive construction modules.

These building modules, like building blocks, were lifted by helicopters or cranes to where they were needed, assembling into new buildings or facilities as if stacking blocks.

These raw materials were also sent to other 3D printing sites to produce various urgently needed products for the front line. In Chen Mo’s line of sight alone, he could see several factories operating in an orderly manner.

Transport vehicles parked at the factory entrances, loading the products as soon as they were produced, taking them away without any backlog.

All of this seemed so astonishing, and yet so unbelievable, making one involuntarily marvel at the captivating power and charm of large-scale industrial production.

Chen Xin once heard a saying that when technology advances to a certain level, it becomes indistinguishable from magic.

Once, Chen Xin didn’t have much of a feeling about this phrase, but as he looked at the incredible achievements before him created by human hands, he had to admit it was indeed as magical and awe-inspiring as magic.

"This is fantastic! This is what industrial production should look like!" Chen Xin wasn’t a die-hard industrialist, but in the face of this astonishing large-scale industrial production, he couldn’t help but become a believer in the power of industry.

One must know that all these industrial facilities here were built from scratch in just over a month by the people of the European aid fleet using 3D printing facilities.

No matter how obsessed the Flame Country was with infrastructure, being able to build such a magnificent industrial zone in a month’s time, and constantly expanding, with the speed of expansion being so astonishing, the infrastructure and industrial production capabilities they displayed were indeed a bit exaggerated.

As the Land Ship landed, the people of the European aid fleet came to welcome their arrival.

Of course, the main focus was welcoming Chen Xin. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

After a simple and brief welcome, Chen Xin did not choose to rest. Instead, he eagerly pulled the staff of the European aid fleet, asking them to show him around.

From the sky earlier, he had only taken a simple aerial view. Although he felt the grandeur here, Chen Xin particularly hoped to gain a deeper understanding.

After all, his main purpose in coming to Europe was to thoroughly understand the situation here and to make upgrades and adjustments so that the European aid fleet could better support the European Battlefield.

Seeing Chen Xin’s attitude, the fleet’s personnel did not refuse but led Chen Xin to tour this gigantic industrial base they had built from scratch in a month.

"This was originally an open-pit mining area of the German Ruhr Industrial Zone. The types and reserves of minerals were relatively rich; however, before we arrived, the Germans had ceased mining here. It wasn’t until after we came that we revitalized this mining area," the staff introduced to Chen Xin with a tone of pride. "We brought a complete set of industrial production blueprints. Relying on the 3D printing equipment from the aircraft carrier, we took a week to produce these mining machines, ensuring a stable output of raw materials. Only then did the carrier manufacture new 3D printing equipment, creating this industrial zone.

Currently, there’s a large smelting plant here responsible for smelting ore into raw materials. These raw materials are distributed to one large and four small 3D printing sites. Four smaller printing sites focus on producing the electromagnetic rifles and matching ammunition needed by the front line, while the large printing site produces building modules and other large equipment to expand production capacity."

Listening to the staff’s introduction, Chen Xin nodded with great satisfaction. Achieving such results in just over a month was indeed something these staff members could be proud of.

However, as Chen Xin listened to the staff’s introduction, he noticed a detail and asked, "You aren’t producing Exoskeletons?"

"The technical staff should have reported this issue to you earlier. Currently, the primary demand from European countries is still electromagnetic rifles. They are eager to arm the front-line forces more heavily," the staff explained to Chen Xin, reflecting the problem. "The electromagnetic rifles we previously provided are very popular, and the front-line combat troops greatly favor these new rifles that are compatible with their standard ammunition.

Especially since they can penetrate the alien creatures’ hides, allowing ordinary soldiers to better exert their firepower advantage, this significantly enhances the front-line defenses’ effectiveness against alien creatures, enabling them to better withstand alien attacks."

"This sounds good, but what’s with the matching ammunition? Aren’t they compatible with their ammo, so why are we producing ammunition?" Chen Xin raised a new question and also expressed to the staff member, "It seems the situation here in Europe is worse than I expected! Ordinary soldiers cannot effectively harm the alien creatures, and I really don’t know how they have managed to hold out for so long."

For this question, the staff member just gave a bitter smile and said, "They’ve deployed many heavy machine guns on the front line, even bringing out relics from World War II. They’ve barely managed to hold off these alien creatures by constructing defenses with heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, relying on terrain advantages.

As for the ammunition, it’s mainly because their standard ammo uses reduced-load rounds. Even with electromagnetic rifles, the lethality against alien creatures is still somewhat insufficient. Meanwhile, the matching ammunition we produce is full-power, with higher initial velocity, greater penetration, and better lethality.

Therefore, we’ve split a production line to produce matching ammunition to be sent to the front lines with the electromagnetic rifles. European countries themselves are making adjustments in this area, so this is only a temporary emergency measure, and we will later adjust to the same electromagnetic rifle production lines."
