Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 380 380. Not all exoskeletons are called power armor
It turned out that it was necessary for Mo Hao to hang the nobles and parliamentarians, as well as the merchants who hoarded grain, with tall street lamps.

If the bodies had not been hung too high, Mo Hao had no doubt that people would share the fat and greasy bodies.

That would lead to the emergence of infectious diseases, thereby reducing people's work efficiency. Mo Hao really doesn't want this to happen.

Yes, work.

Mo Hao had food on hand, and the amount of food was enough to feed the entire city for a while.

However, Mo Hao did not plan to open a warehouse and increase the volume directly. Instead, he planned to use work-for-relief, allowing people to continue working in exchange for food.

Due to the large area of ​​the Heavenly Book World, a considerable portion of its industries need to be moved outside.

Some of the simpler ones, whose craftsmanship is not so confidential, just take up space in the world of heavenly books.

Only production lines like the Metal Slug production line, which have technological advantages, need to be kept in the Heavenly Book world.

For the next week, people were hanged in the square every day.

Some were malicious people who hoarded food to sell at high prices, others were people who saw the chaos and planned to rob, and some were assassins.

They came to assassinate Mo Hao.

It doesn’t matter who sent these assassins. What matters is that those assassins who were lucky had already died at Mo Hao’s hands, and those who were unlucky enough to be captured alive had to go through a hellish torture and interrogation before they were able to meet the death that ended everything.

The army outside the city tried to break in, but their ideas were always stopped by Metal Slug, a tank that surpassed the technology of this era, and its firepower was enough to make all the soldiers facing it realize what a nightmare is.

After trying several times and not only failing to break into the city, but also leaving behind hundreds of corpses, the army outside the city retreated silently.

They did not stay outside the city, but left in a certain direction, and Mo Hao did not send anyone to stop them.

……

Within a few days, construction began in the city in the face of the cold winter.

Factories that were supposed to be closed were reopened and heating and electricity supplies began to be restored.

With huge amounts of food support, many more jobs suddenly appeared in the city.

Unimportant production lines in the Heavenly Book World were constantly outsourced, and at the same time the army began to recruit personnel without restrictions.

All underage children were sent to school, and adults were assigned jobs according to their abilities. With no need to consider compensation from the defeat treaty and enough food on hand, the city burst into vigorous vitality.

The conscription work was in full swing, but at this moment the conscription office was full of queues.

Because Mo Hao told them very directly that he did not recognize the treaty of defeat, did not recognize any treaty signed by the [Lemangni Empire], and would not pay even a penny in compensation to any other country.

It's like a dream for people to not have to bear terrible debt and have a job that can provide food.

So when Mo Hao told them that if the [Lemangni Empire] sent out its army to take back this place, everyone would have to go back to their original state, with no food, no heating, and would starve to death on winter nights.

Long queues began to form at the conscription office. No one wanted to die of hunger and cold, especially since they had been so close to this end.

Those who have families would rather die on the battlefield than watch their families freeze or starve to death in front of them.

……

"Okay, try running as fast as you can, and then jump up when you reach your fastest speed."

In an open space, Dr. Agumon was conducting an experiment. Several soldiers were wearing different types of exoskeletons and were conducting experiments according to Dr. Agumon's instructions.

That is the power armor created by Dr. Agumon by combining cyber technology, Bashu armor techniques, and mechanical techniques.

After the battle to capture the city, the soldiers exposed many disadvantages when facing the extraordinary people. Their attack power, defense power, and mobility were all insufficient.

If Mo Hao had not strengthened all the soldiers at that time, it would have been unknown whether the city could be captured.

So what Dr. Agumon needs to do now is to find a way to enhance the quality of the soldiers in all aspects, so that at least when facing extraordinary people, they will not be without the ability to resist.

While watching the soldiers wearing power armor conducting various experiments, he was recording various data with one hand.

At first, the soldiers did not have much respect for this strange yellow dinosaur, and even thought it was their superior's pet.

Not to mention cooperating with the experiment.

Then, after Dr. Agumon entered the military camp and knocked down all the standing soldiers, he stepped on the soldiers' heads and slowly said that he was here to design power armor for the soldiers.

Since then, the soldiers have shown respect to Dr. Agumon second only to Mo Hao.

For the soldiers, anyone who is stronger than them and can beat them down is a strong person worthy of respect.

This does not change no matter which country the soldier is from.

After collecting the data on the power armor and listening to the soldiers' opinions on the equipment, Dr. Agumon headed for the next destination without stopping.

He has more than just the power armor project on hand. In fact, all production lines and R&D work are now under his control.

Whether it is Zhang Xueqing, who is in charge of statistics and management, or Mo Hao, they are both helping Dr. Agumon and providing everything he needs.

After all, Dr. Agumon is the only scientific research talent around Mo Hao, and Mo Hao has a lot of knowledge items from other worlds or from various rewards.

In Mo Hao's team, only Dr. Agumon has the ability to fully utilize those items and knowledge.

……

On the other side, Mo Hao was looking at the white smoke rising from his fingertips in confusion.

This white smoke did not come from any power in his body, neither internal force nor magic power or anything like that.

"What's this?!"

Although he had long given up any hope for the multiple energy systems in his body, this white smoke was not any of the energy systems he remembered possessing.

He slowly took the wisp of white smoke into his body, and suddenly many sounds appeared in Mo Hao's ears.

Those voices were either weak or pious, and everyone was saying something, but the countless voices overlapping would only create a chaotic noise, making it impossible to hear anything meaningful and valuable from them.

The consciousness of ordinary people will lose themselves in the countless noisy sounds and thus blend into the countless prayers.

But Mo Hao is different. After many times of [Blood Burning] strengthening and tempering, his body and mind have already become extraordinary strong.

The greatest achievement of those countless prayers was just to scare him when they suddenly sounded.

Other than that, nothing has changed.
