Legend of the Supreme Soldier Chapter 569

Ye Chong did not let his students enter Darkniss without taking precautions . He had a student drive a Spider, with Sha Ya onboard . Ye Chong's orders to Sha Ya were simple – eliminate all creatures within a 10 kilometre radius around the entrance of Darkniss . Ye Chong believed that with Sha Ya's capabilities and the Spider's firepower, this should not be too hard to accomplish .

If Sha Ya could drive a Spider, she would be even stronger in battle . Sha Ya might not be able to pilot a mech due to lacking physical fitness, but the Spider would not be too hard for her . It seemed that she would have to be trained for the Spider soon . Right now, every form of resource was precious .

Ye Chong and his students all waited at the entrance to Darkniss .

Three hours later, Sha Ya returned . Ye Chong knew that the work was done . He quickly ordered for everyone to go through the entrance .

It was a strange looking spatial window . Many of the students were intimidated by it, but they dared not go against Ye Chong's orders . In the end, all the students entered the spatial window .

Ye Chong was the last one to enter Darkniss . Celest's dimension keystone would affect the spatial window, so he had to keep Celest back into its own dimension and cross through the eerie black circle that was suspended in midair . There was a weird sensation the moment he crossed the boundary between spaces, but Ye Chong did not have time to study it in detail .

Once in Darkniss, Ye Chong found all the students huddled together nervously . The dark and mysterious Darkniss was now before their very eyes .

Even the bold and daring Duan Qian looked a little unsettled . He approached Ye Chong while his eyes wandered and asked, "Teacher, what is this place?"

The students were now officially Ye Chong's personal security detachment . By right, they should address Ye Chong as "sir" . However, a few of them, like Duan Qian, still called Ye Chong "teacher" . Ye Chong never cared about titles, and so he did not bother to correct them .

"Darkniss," Ye Chong replied plainly .

"Darkniss?" Duan Qian paled instantly . He gulped heavily and asked, "Teacher, why are we here?"

"That's right, Sir, it's too dangerous here, let's turn back . "

"Sir, only Level 7 or 8 shooters can come here!"

The students all spoke up, tensed . They wanted to leave right away . Darkniss was no tourist attraction . It was the most dangerous place in the world . Any random creature in this place could tear the army apart . None of them imagined that Ye Chong would bring them here to Darkniss .

Ye Chong ignored their outbursts and looked towards Sha Ya .

Sha Ya nodded . "The perimeter is clear . "

Ye Chong nodded slightly, and then turned towards his students .

"Fall in . "

Ye Chong commanded softly without expression . He was not loud, but the coldness in his voice went straight to the hearts of his students .

The rowdy crowd went silent immediately .

The students squirmed under Ye Chong's gaze . They realized immediately that their master was angry! In the next moment, all of them scurried towards their positions .

Their training was still worth something . In just a few moments, five groups in formation presented themselves before Ye Chong .

It was silent once again .

All the students were nervous . If it was Instructor Liao who got offended, the consequences would be unthinkable . However, even the short tempered Instructor Liao was always respectful towards Ye Chong . To the students, Ye Chong was even more intimidating than Instructor Liao . All the students kept their mouth shut .

"You are all members of my security detachment . You are in no position to disobey my orders . You have two choices – to obey or disobey me . I will kill anyone who disobeys me . " Ye Chong's announcement was delivered quietly and flatly . Even so, he made his point very clearly .

All the students were shaken by his words . They regretted for all the complaints they were making earlier .

Indeed, their master was even scarier than Instructor Liao!

Sha Ya stood expressionless beside Ye Chong . However, she was also unsettled by Ye Chong . The killing aura from Ye Chong was unlike any she had encountered before . She had her share of vicious and ruthless shooters, but Ye Chong's aura was markedly different from theirs .

His was calm and unassuming, but solid and undeterred . It was clear that he was a veteran who had been through a lot .

"From today onwards, we will set our base here . From now on, you will live here . I will teach you how to fight, and provide you with new weapons . However, this is Darkniss . Only the strong will survive . "

Ye Chong explained the situation to his students clearly, leaving no illusion .

When he was done, he turned to leave . He knew that the students needed time to digest the information . Ye Chong approached the weaponsmiths, who were also white as a sheet . The weaponsmiths were all trembling with fear, with the exception of Xi Yan . Xi Yan was not unafraid, but he was confident that his teacher did not force all of them here to Darkniss simply to die .

"Gentlemen, we have no time to be scared . We need to start working now, unless you want to camp out here in the wilderness tonight," Ye Chong said to them, and turned to leave . Xi Yan was the first to react, following Ye Chong from behind . The rest of the weaponsmiths exchanged looks, and slowly came to accept their situation . They still looked scared, but they all got up and followed Ye Chong .

Ye Chong had originally planned to have about eight weaponsmiths to help him, but now there were 30 of them, including him . Even though the 20 young weaponsmiths were only of average abilities, they were still precious manpower for Ye Chong .

The more energetic and resolved students, like Duan Qian, realized what they must do very quickly . They started to unpack the load from the 40 Spiders . Ye Chong had already prepared many tools for them . The machines were too complicated for Duan Qian and the other students to understand, but the weaponsmiths learned how to use them quickly . They would use the tools to build simple laser cutting machines .

The weaponsmiths were surprised by the fancy new tools . This helped to soothe their fear and boost morale . They immersed themselves in their work soon enough .

As for the design of their base, Ye Chong had already drawn up the plans in his manor .

The simple laser cutting machines could be fitted onto the training vehicles and used to cut huge rocks into blocks of five metres by two metres . Once they got familiar with the machines, each block would take only 15 seconds . The simple laser cutting machines were easy to maneuver . Ye Chong taught his students how to use them, and then they got down to business .

They cut out blocks of rock from the cliffs nearby, and used the clamps fitted into their training vehicles to move the blocks back to base .

Here in the darkness of Darkniss, the first signs of large scale human activity emerged .

The armed Spider was given to Sha Ya . Her task was to learn how to maneuver the Spider, and then patrol the perimeter to kill any wild animals that tried to trespass .

Work progressed quickly . In just seven days, they were nearly done . Ye Chong used the binding agent derived from candygrass to glue the blocks of rocks together . Just a tiny amount was enough to keep the rocks firmly in place .

Their base looked like a standard stronghold . It was hexagonal when seen from above . This stronghold constructed with rocks was only for temporary use, but Ye Chong did not neglect in its functionalities . The stronghold could accommodate the entire army, with room for specialized laboratories and mechanical workshops . There were also three physical training grounds and 15 standard mech training grounds . There was an infirmary as well . There were only a few types of medication available, and no advanced equipment, but Ye Chong had still allocated space for the infirmary .

The stronghold was heavily armed . Ye Chong installed many laser weapons for the base . All the weapons of the stronghold were connected to photon circuits, even though it was time consuming to do so . When Ye Chong first started designing the base, he had been vexed by the problem of armaments . The safety of the base was of the highest priority . Without enough firepower, it was impossible to survive in Darkniss .

Accurate aiming could be achieved if he had sufficiently sophisticated photon processors and holographic scanning system . Ye Chong did not have both . Hence, he had to switch tactics . He recalled the battle around Yi Ju, where laser weapons were used . Even the powerful red-tailed beasts were curbed by the laser weapons, provided the weapons were powerful enough and in great numbers .

The laser weapons did not require sophisticated photon processors and holographic scanning systems . Instead, it relied on wide coverage attacks at high energy intensity . The disadvantage to this approach was that it was highly energy consuming . Fortunately, Ye Chong did not have to worry about energy supply .

Energy crystals came cheap in Eastern Cloud . He purchased a sizable amount of energy crystals without spending a fortune . The energy crystals that he brought with him for this operation were enough to last them quite some time . Apart from that, once they established a firm position in Darkniss, they would have enough power to return to Eastern Cloud as an independent force . By then, it did not matter if they wanted to purchase or resort to other means …

Either way, it would not be so difficult! That was Ye Chong's conclusion . Once his stronghold was armed, the lasers would cover all directions around the base .

Ye Chong finally relaxed a little with the weapons installed . All the students felt relieved as well . After sleeping overnight in their training vehicles for the past week or so, they could now rest within the safety of the stronghold . The structure was much larger than they thought . Such a massive stronghold was nearly the size of a small town . It was something for them to feel proud about, having built the stronghold themselves .

Now, they felt more hopeful for their futures!

No one had ever built such a massive and grand structure in such a short time . They thought that Ye Chong was truly a man of wonders . What other miracles would he bring to their lives?

The students could not wait to find out!

Ye Chong took out everything he kept in Celest's dimension keystone . All the weaponsmiths stared at the great variety of equipment that Ye Chong conjured out of nowhere . When Ye Chong declared that they could use the equipment, the weaponsmiths, including Xi Yan, cheered with joy .

Everyone was now in the stronghold . Flat floorboards and cosy rooms awaited them . After all the hard work, the students were all smiles at their new home .

Ye Chong was not satisfied with the rock structure of the stronghold, since the rocks did not offer enough protection . Once they could extract metals on a large scale, Ye Chong would fit the rocks with thick metal shields . That would make this a real stronghold . When that happened, even the red-tailed beasts would not threaten Ye Chong .

After a resting for half a day, Ye Chong summoned everyone .

From this moment onwards, the students must learn . They must learn how to fight and improve their capabilities . The weaponsmiths must learn new mechanical concepts .

Ye Chong demonstrated how to use a photon processor . Everyone had their own photon processor . These bio-photon processors were not very powerful, but they were more than enough for the students to learn how to use the machines . Here in the stronghold, all the photon processors were connected, and can be used for communication . Ye Chong had prepared basic course material from a wide variety of subjects and stored them in the photon processors . The students would study in this way . That was how Ye Chong studied when he was in the Five Galaxies .

No one had ever seen such an advanced way of teaching . Only Xi Yan knew about it when Ye Chong gave him memory chips and a learning machine earlier .

It was like living in a dream . Everything was new and intriguing . The students soon forgot about the darkness in Darkniss, and instead bean to think about the warmth and brightness in the stronghold .

Next, Ye Chong announced that the first 100 students who mastered the course material would get their own mechs .

The students were all invigorated by this reward . They already knew what a mech as, and looked forward to being a mech pilot as described in their photon processors . The peaceful stronghold was now filled with determined students who were eager to learn . The weaponsmiths had a better appreciation of what was offered to them . They studied everyday with great diligence . All the knowledge in the photon processors was new to them, and far advanced than anything they had learned . How could they afford to waste such a wonderful opportunity?

Just as everyone was absorbed in their learning journey, Ye Chong visited the nearby Lava River unnoticed . The stronghold was positioned strategically . It was near the entrance to Darkniss on one side, and separated from the rest of Darkniss by the Lava River, a natural form of defense . It would take an extraordinarily powerful creature like the snowshade leopard to cross the Lava River, which stretched a few dozen meters across .

Bright red lava flowed sluggishly in the Lava River . When the lava encountered a drop in the riverbed, it would crash down and splash like magnificent fireworks . Simply standing by the River, feeling the heat waves coming from it, made breathing difficult for Ye Chong .

Ye Chong watched the lava slowly flowing pass him, where bright red wavy stripes would frequently emerge . Lava was formed when rocks melted . Metals would often be melted in the process as well . These metals in liquid form were responsible for the bright red stripes .

Ye Chong planned to extract these liquid metals . If he could figure out a way to extract them, they would be metals of high purity . Extracting the metals in this way would also save time, effort and energy .

However, the problem of extraction remained to be solved .

After observing for a while more, Ye Chong returned to the stronghold .

He went to his lab and began to work . This went on for three days . When he finally emerged from the lab, he called for Xi Yan and a few of the younger weaponsmiths .

The group went to the Lava River in a Spider . Xi Yan and his colleagues had no idea what Ye Chong was thinking of .

Ye Chong unloaded all the things in the Spider and directed his men to work . After two hours, they constructed a small building by the River . The building housed a photon processor and holographic scanning system, with complicated piping works and a confusing control console .

They then used an excavator to dig three trenches about a hundred metres from the building . Each trench was a hundred meters long and 15 metres deep . A thick pipeline ran along the building, connecting to three metre-wide ditches at the farther end . These three ditches continued downhill at a 30-degree slope, until they were connected with the three trenches, respectively .

"What is this?" Xi Yan looked at the strange building by the Lava River, and could not figure it out . The heat from the Lava River made him uncomfortable .

"It's a liquid metal auto-extractor . " Ye Chong pushed the activation button .

The pipes that reached above the Lava River lowered themselves into the River . Then, bright red liquid was pumped out through the thick pipeline, flowing down along the first ditch until it reached one of the trenches . Through the holographic scanning system, they could track exactly where the liquid metal was .

Suddenly, a mechanical claw suspended above the River lowered itself into the lava and emerged again with a black colored object the size of a human head .

Ye Chong saw Xi Yan's confusion, and explained, "That's solid metal . It's melting point is too high for the lava to melt it . This kind of metal is even more valuable . " Xi Yan and the other weaponsmiths began to understand what they were seeing . Ye Chong added, "The mechanical claw and the pipeline are all made of metals with high melting points . "

Xi Yan and his team were all interested in the auto-extractor . They went inside the building and studied the machinery inside, marvelling at the details of the structure . Ye Chong saw how absorbed they were, and had to return to the stronghold himself . He left the Spider behind for them to return with . Ye Chong found that Spider to be an excellent means of transport within Darkniss . They were easy to use, and did not move too quickly, perfect for beginners .

The liquid metal auto-extractor was linked to the main photon processor back at the stronghold . Once a trench was filled up, it would redirect the liquid metal to the next trench . When the liquid metal in the first trench had cooled down, Ye Chong would send people here to retrieve the solidified metal block .

The solid metal block was still a mixture of different metals, and had to be further processed . However, this was much easier than mining for metal ores directly .

On the third day, the first trench was filled up . Ye Chong had to send 50 training vehicles to move the huge solid metal block back to the stronghold .

The metal block was stored in the warehouse . Ye Chong had not built his metal isolator machine yet, but he ordered the students to cut the metal block into many smaller pieces .

Time was precious . All the weaponsmiths were assigned to help Ye Chong build this huge machine .

One of the many devices Ye Chong obtained from the base on Spectre was a metal isolator, but it was only suitable for laboratory experiments, not for large scale processing . Ye Chong had to build a larger metal isolator based on the smaller version, or his goal to extract metals on a large scale would never be realized .

Ye Chong was beginning to appreciate how hard it was to start from scratch!
