"Outer vehicles, open side protection, activate Energy Pulse Guns!"
The noisy channel suddenly fell silent, and then a calm voice sounded in the channel.
"Received!"
The Driver put away his joking expression and replied in a serious tone. It seemed the vehicle he was driving was on the Boundary of the convoy.
Click!
The Driver flipped a Red Button next to the Steering Wheel, and then the Protective Steel Plate on the left side of the Bus split in two, revealing densely packed mobile firing ports inside.
Blue Energy Pulse Beams shot out from these firing ports. Manno Daisei lay in the Gaps of the Protective Steel Plate, using the faint light emitted by the Energy Pulse Beams to watch as large numbers of beasts and humanoid creatures fell down like wheat being harvested in the dark night.
"Only some small tribes and some beasts attracted by the bright light. These Dark Elves from Heimdall seem to have learned their lesson!"
Forty kilometers away from the convoy, at a Mining Base, the Artificial Sun hung high. Inside the Camp Office, one of the German Men wearing a German-style military uniform similar to the WWII Period was cutting sausage on his plate with a Knife and Fork while looking at the Satellite Monitoring screen in front of him.
The screen showed the situation of the Bus convoy on the move. Looking at the Pictures transmitted by the satellite's infrared camera, the Big man, who had originally planned to lure something, looked a bit disappointed.
"We deliberately left this Dark Zone, and at least several thousand Dark Elves are buried here, Bernie. They aren't fools either! Why would they send themselves to death knowing it's a Trap!" A Big man holding a coffee cup and drinking steaming Black Coffee glanced at the Satellite Monitoring and shook his head.
"I'm going to the metallurgy area in a bit. You'll be responsible for the newcomers when they arrive!"
The Big man gulped down the steaming Coffee in his cup, greeted the German Men who was studying the Satellite Image and trying to lure something in a different way, put down the cup, and prepared to go out.
Bernie picked up a sliced Red Sausage with a silver fork and ate it with relish along with some bread, waving his hand without turning his head.
"Officer!"
Inside the Base, Fully Armed Soldiers could be seen everywhere. Most of them came from Training Camp in Siberia and the Middle East, a small portion from Mercenary Group in East Africa, and another portion were elite gunmen transferred from the Underworld.
These unruly Soldier on Earth became obedient like dolls when they saw Monroe, actively saluting and greeting him.
Monroe just nodded slightly in response.
As Card Sequence Soldier, he and Bernie were the managers of this Mine. Besides the Big Boss and a few Leader, they had absolute management authority over this Camp.
This included the command and control authority over forty defensive Iron Soldier and the control over the intelligent fire control weapons within the Base.
Monroe walked quickly. In less than five or six minutes, he arrived at a strictly enclosed Residential Area.
"Mr. Monroe, the new batch of Metal Ingots has been smelted!"
Seeing Monroe enter, the manager responsible for metal smelting work quickly greeted him and reported the progress of metal smelting.
In the empty space in the center of the Factory Building, there was a large glowing sphere exactly like the Artificial Sun hanging in the Sky, only its diameter was a few sizes smaller than the Artificial Sun.
Over ten round cauldron-shaped metal smelting furnaces were burned red hot by the blazing high temperature. Some workers were operating Mechanical Arms on computers to throw irregular Metal Ore into these furnaces.
Under the polymer heating supplied by the Artificial Sun's Energy Supply, the Ore in these metal smelting furnaces was quickly smelted into liquid batches, which were then poured into molds.
The Metal Ingots that had not yet cooled were each the size of bricks. Then, these Metal Ingots would be placed onto a conveyor belt and continuously forged by extremely heavy air pressure hammers. Along the complete assembly line, there were over ten air pressure gravity hammers of various specifications.
Each Metal Ingot needed to be forged hundreds or thousands of times by these air pressure gravity hammers to temper out impurities. Several types of Metal Ingots with impurities tempered out were grabbed by Mechanical Arms and placed into another specific large cauldron according to a fixed ratio. Under the Energy Supply of the Artificial Sun.
The Runes inside the large cauldron continuously flashed, changing the molecular ratio of these fused Metal Ingots. The final formed liquid was then re-injected into molds, resulting in a Metal block no bigger than a palm.
After it naturally cooled, the workers here would carefully operate Mechanical Arms to clamp it up and seal it in boxes.
This Alloy, which fused five types of metal and often required tens of tons of Ore to yield only a few kilograms, was given a strange name by the Big Boss - Essence of Five Metals! After inspecting the work of the metallurgy department accompanied by the metallurgy Supervisor, Monroe came to the Warehouse storing Metal Ore.
Inside the Warehouse, there were four Iron Soldier guarding it. Box after box of Metal Ingots were neatly arranged: Gold Bars, silver ingots, Copper Ingots, iron blocks... Monroe didn't even look at these boxes of precious metals stacked neatly. He walked to the deepest part of the Warehouse. In an area at the very back of the Warehouse, there were over ten locked large iron boxes.
Monroe bent down, used fingerprint unlock to open a box, took out a piece of Essence of Five Metals from the box, tossed it up and down a couple times in his hand, weighing its weight.
"How much is there?"
"This month's smelted Essence of Five Metals is half a ton, Magic Gemstones are three hundred eighteen pieces, and Magic Metal is twenty-five kilograms!"
The metallurgy Supervisor already knew the contents of the Warehouse by heart.
"Too little!" Monroe put the Essence of Five Metals metal bar back into the box, re-fastened the box, locked it properly, stood up, and said to the metallurgy Supervisor.
"A batch of newcomers will be sent over recently. The Ore mining output can at least double. Your smelting quantity must also keep up!"
"Outer vehicles, open side protection, activate Energy Pulse Guns!"
