After taking a few more deep breaths, his emotions started to stabilize. His mood and mental state became much calmer and more at ease. Much of the worry, apprehension, and restlessness in his heart dissipated. He regained his normal equilibrium. He returned to his normal self.

Yeah, he possessed more than a hundred of those nuclear bombs. Why be afraid of other powers taking away what was his? Why be afraid of survivors posing a threat to him? The mania, insanity, and even the mental responses that he had previously displayed actually stemmed from the nervousness that he felt regarding the unclear ownership rights of the items that he possessed. After all, can you maintain your calmness when you are faced with thousands of tons of gold, innumerable high technology, everything that a planet has to offer...?

One could immediately go crazy from such a thing. However, Chen Jin did not lose his nature. This meant that his heart had become strong enough to withstand sudden emotional turmoils. Now, he had once again stepped out from the mania brought on by the ego trip and recovered his normal equilibrium. This meant that he had ascended to the next level in the psychological realm.

There would not be anything else that could provoke his emotions in such an intense manner ever again.

Then again, could that really be true?

...

The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) continued to survey the lands. A portion of the formations headed south via the Mediterranean Sea to the Black Mamba Continent on the opposite side of the sea. However, after less than half a day, the 12 UAV formations that were heading south retreated and did a U-turn, leaving the mainland of Black Mamba Continent.

There was no need to penetrate further inland. It was all desert. The mainland of the Black Mamba Continent, an area estimated to be 30,000,000 square kilometers, was almost entirely covered by deserts. It was similar to the surface of Mars. In this kind of environment, even if there were a few black survivors remaining, they were not enough to fear. There was no need to worry about them at all. It was just like finding a few wild beasts that did not constitute any significant threat.

Before the Destructive War erupted, the development of the Black Mamba Mainland was extremely backward. Huge portions of the land were still in the primeval tribal state. Its technological standard was outdated by at least a century in comparison to the more developed countries. It was as if there were two different civilizations on this planet. There was absolutely no need for further exploration.

On the contrary, it was in the Red Empire on the eastern side of the Europa continent where the UAV formations reaped huge rewards. Red Empire, with a territory that stretched beyond 20,000,000 square kilometers, could not be easily destroyed with just a few hundred nuclear bombs. Moreover, the Red Empire had a strong military. The military’s technology was highly developed. Even with appropriate preparations, the nuclear bombs that had landed on the grounds of the Empire was only about 300. All the rest were successfully intercepted.

Only about 70% of a city with a population in the millions was destroyed. All the other cities were basically untouched... Amongst which were many heavy industrial cities. They were all left in their original states.

There were gains to be reaped daily:

He found a steel-making city, a shipyard, an aviation city, a tank manufacturing plant, a city of missiles, an oil industrial city, a city of motors that could be used to manufacture the motors of various airplanes, and a nuclear manufacturing plant that had a factory with a high precision processing unit that could be used to create nuclear bombs of great power. He also found a semiconductor industrial city that used silicon as its primary material. The CPU chips that it manufactured used an advanced five-nanometer processing technology. There were also particle factories and storage particle factories inside the city.

It could be said that within the Red Empire’s environment, Chen Jin was able to find a ready-made and complete industrial system. But, it did not possess significant practical value. It was outdated. The industrial systems of the Red Empire were too outdated. It was lagging behind Omi country by at least 50 years. They had not worked out how to use graphene as a semiconductor. There was no large-scale use of artificial intelligence. In addition, the manufacturing equipment in the factories still primarily employed the traditional method of work. There were virtually no capsule factories, no smart assembly lines, much less a smart industrial core... It was lagging behind the Omi industries by far more than one era.

There were two reasons for this: One was how Omi’s high technology was so tightly sealed off. Two was due to Red Empire’s very own system. Once the smart assembly lines and artificial intelligence had been employed on a large scale level, productivity would be raised. But, the unemployment rate would increase across the nation. The burden on its welfare system would increase and the power of the regime would no longer be as stable.

“Overall, Red Empire’s level of technology is ahead of Earth’s Merica by about 10 to 20 years. In order to resist the technological advantage of Omi, it had an extremely well-developed military industry. There were always huge forces of the military on standby. The stability of the ruling regime was only average, so it had to show its might from time to time in order to hide the fragility of its core.”

Faced with a technological gap that was more than 50 generations apart, it would pay to have stronger nuclear forces. Hence, even though he found an entire industrial system in the Red Empire, Chen Jin was not too perturbed. After all, he had way more advanced technology on his hands.

However, he still had to think of a way to transport the high precision equipment that was used to manufacture nuclear weapons back to the Base of Operations. The Base required the ability to manufacture nuclear weapons. This would be more useful than having a troop of a million robots.

The semiconductor industry was also worth considering. He could bring it back to the Base for Alice to analyze and research on it. In addition, the UAV formations had netted huge gains in an area adjacent to a space-launching site within the south-central area of the Red Empire.

He also found a city of satellites. There was not only a satellite manufacturing plant within the city, but there was also a rocket manufacturing plant. In the satellite manufacturing plant, the robots found more than 80 finished satellites. Of the 80 satellites, there were those used for communication, optics, radars, positioning, etc. In the rocket manufacturing plant, the robots found more than 20 space rockets of various sizes.

The rewards listed above were about all that the UAV formations could find after spending more than a week surveying the environment of the Red Empire. The gains that were reaped were rather abundant. At the very least, it was equivalent to finding 10 or so Moleiduo Republics. But, were there only these gains to be found in the Red Empire that had a territory of more than 20,000,000 square kilometers?

All of the outdated stuff. Was there no “darlings” that could be shown to others that might elicit a sparkle in their eyes?

That might not be the case.

...

Land of Fire. It was an island in the Arctic Circle with an area of only 10,000 square kilometers. There was an active volcano on the island and countless hot springs. It was one of the favorite places where the upper echelons of the Red Empire went to for recuperation and vacation. Moreover, there was a huge military base on this island. It was hidden on an iceberg that was millions of years old. As such, it was filled with mystery and secrecy.

The “Permanent Number of Truth” that the upper echelons of the Red Empire had ordered to be secretly constructed was stored right there in this military base. It was convenient for one to flee to anytime. The UAV formations were able to find this island because of the phenomenon of the polar day in the Arctic Circle. The Land of Fire was not difficult to locate in the polar day. Moreover, there had been much interesting news and hearsay in the country of Omi about the upper echelons of the Red Empire. The “Permanent Number of Truth” was one of them. Hence there was already a relevant record in Alice’s information storage.

Chen Jin sent a UAV formation to survey the Arctic Circle. Soon after they found the Land of Fire, they reaped another huge reward. There was a huge man-made object placed impressively at the entrance of the mysterious military base on the island. It measured 320 meters long, 68 meters wide, and 20 meters in height. It had a rectangular body much like a matchbox and its outside was covered in a large amount of ice that made it glitter like crystals.

He sent Flight No. 11 over and got the robots to get rid of the layer of ice on the surface of the object. Under the rays of sunlight, its dark and swarthy appearance was revealed.

He found a spaceship.
