Mobile City Farming Guide

Chapter 287 "Security Protocol Activated" (4K)
It must be said that the Iron Dwarves' war machines do indeed have a steampunk style.

Standing ten meters tall, this steam-powered combat puppet features a miniature furnace at its core and giant forging hammers as its arms.

The Gear Scorpion is a powerful war scorpion with heavy pincers and a high-speed rotating drill bit at its tail.

Flame-jet trucks capable of spewing raging flames.

A tracked harvester with a high-speed rotating barbed chain at the front.

Armored steam airships equipped with multiple main guns.

A catapult capable of projecting high-temperature metal scrap.

The Iron Dwarves, surrounding this line of war machines and wielding short guns, roared wildly at the Alliance of Tomorrow.

Li Ye turned his head and looked at the old gear.

"As you can see, we have no choice but to resort to force now."

The old gear nodded slowly and spoke with a hint of worry.

"Can you defeat them?"

Soon, it discovered that its worries were completely unnecessary.

The battle between the Tomorrow Alliance ended within an hour.

The Iron Dwarves had no air superiority and were relentlessly bombed by the Tomorrow Alliance's air force.

At the same time, the Tomorrow deployed marines to the coast and launched a bombing raid.

The Iron Dwarves were completely overwhelmed and unable to fight back from beginning to end.

However, these mechanical lifeforms appeared to have extremely solid and robust bodies, and were extremely resilient.

The Iron Whale has now docked.

Although it was modified for water transport at this moment, it floated on land by gravity and thus landed on the island.

Wherever they went, the Iron Dwarves and their war machines were twisted and deformed by gravity, turning into a lump of scrap iron.

Upon seeing this, the Iron Dwarves were instantly terrified and fled back to their underground city.

Li Ye had no intention of letting them go, and directly ordered bombers to target the underground city and drop bunker-buster bombs.

With the battle over, the island was littered with the wreckage of Iron Dwarves and war machines.

Li Ye slowly walked towards the Iron Dwarf's corpse and reached out his hand to see if the mechanical life form had fallen.

However, it does not.

He couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

"Is it because this iron dwarf is a mechanical creation of the Skyweaver that it didn't fall?"

Although the Tomorrow Alliance fought fiercely in this battle, it also consumed a lot of combat resources.

Fortunately, the Iron Dwarves are mechanical beings, and their corpses can be put into steel mills to be forged into steel.

Seeing the battle resolved so easily, a hint of surprise appeared in Old Gear's eyes.

"You humans on the ground are far too powerful in combat!" it exclaimed in surprise. "And this mobile city you're in is incredibly well-equipped for both combat and daily life!"

Then it reiterated its request.

That is to recover Duke Belkin's body.

“If you want us to arrange a dignified funeral for this esteemed Duke, then forget it,” Li Ye replied.

The old gear shook its head violently.

“A data system! Duke Belkin and I both possess data systems! He even has a first-person video system! If I can get his body, I might be able to connect to his data system and obtain some important intelligence!”

Li Ye immediately arranged for a Black Hawk helicopter to retrieve Belkin's body hanging on the flagpole and bring it to Old Gear.

Since it had completely lost its ability to move, Old Gear had no choice but to ask someone from Liye to carry it to Belkin's body.

Having probably been hanging on the flagpole for a very long time, Belkin's body had been eroded beyond recognition by wind and sun.

Seeing this scene, a hint of sadness appeared in Old Gear's eyes.

"Oh, my poor Duke"

Li Ye simply waved his hand.

"Stop being sad, let's get back to work!"

Under the old gear's instructions, the Wilderness faction connected its data cable to Belkin's corpse.

A dozen minutes later, the old gear was officially connected to Belkin's data and video systems.

“I see,” it murmured.

"What exactly happened?" Rino asked with concern.

The old gear didn't reply, but silently opened the small cover on its chest, revealing a small screen.

Through the small screen, everyone saw Belkin's first-person perspective.

The fourth main island that came into view was clearly a scene of war, with ruins everywhere.

Belkin was unable to move; he appeared to be bound.

Before him stood a group of Iron Dwarves.

“I’m sorry, Duke Belkin,” the leading iron dwarf began. “Lord Skyweaver has been out of contact for far too long; everyone has lost patience.”

As he spoke, he picked up his pistol.

As the Iron Dwarf pulled the trigger, the screen immediately went blank.

“This is clearly footage of Belkin just before he died,” Li Ye said. “Investigating the cause of his death hasn’t yielded any results. Could you rewind the timeline a bit further?”

“The Duke Belkin system is severely damaged, and there isn’t much image data left,” Old Gear replied. “Wait a moment, I’ll try my best to filter out the important information for you.”

This whole ordeal took another ten minutes or so.

Finally, the old gear pulled up a video recording.

Li Ye looked at the screen and found that the image on the screen was of the ground.

He was initially puzzled, but then he instantly understood.

Duke Belkin was kneeling, which is why his head was touching the ground.

Given his status, there aren't many people he would kneel before.

Wait, could it be that...?
The next second, a clear, mechanical female voice rang out from the video.

“Belkin, this is a very important task. Now that this continent is built, you need to go to the newly built fourth main island to oversee and manage the energy and industrial base.”

"Neither I nor the Skeleton Lord won that battle. And we both paid a heavy price."

"But we still have one more chance. If the plan succeeds, everything will be alright."

Li Ye's heart suddenly started pounding.

His guess was correct; Duke Belkin was indeed paying homage to the Heavenly Weaver!
To his surprise, Tianzhi was actually a female wasteland deity.

"It's not easy to judge, though. Wasteland gods probably don't have genders," he thought to himself.

Belkin's excited, trembling voice could be heard in the video.

"I will certainly not fail in my mission, Lord Tianzhi!"

Li Ye suppressed his excitement, held his breath, and continued to listen, hoping to glean more information.

After a few seconds of silence, Tianzhi spoke again.

"Sigh, I really don't know when I'll be able to break free from this cage." Upon hearing this, the people surrounding Li Ye were filled with doubt.

"A cage? What does that mean?"

"This wasteland god sounds like a trapped prisoner."

What exactly was the plan He mentioned?

Li Ye remained silent.

The cage that Tianzhi mentioned naturally refers to Weilan Star.

Fang Ying, who was standing to the side, was extremely excited and said she would report it to the higher-ups immediately.

His presence immediately reminded Li Ye of something.

He needed to remind the three major human organizations about the wasteland gods and the prison that was Planet Weilan.

However, out of caution, a subtle reminder is necessary.

As usual, he carefully crafted his words, giving Fang Ying several hints.

A few seconds later, something strange happened on the island.

Suddenly, alarms blared throughout the entire fourth main island.

"What's going on? Old Gear," Li Ye asked, puzzled.

The old gear, on the other hand, appeared extremely flustered.

"The security protocol has been activated!"

"So what is the security protocol?" Zhou Xing asked.

The old gear then patiently explained.

Among the seven main islands of Kongyouzhou, one main island has been assigned military duties, namely the Third Main Island.

The third main island is home to countless mechanical troops, and is surrounded by four satellite islands.

The main island is not fixed; it can be moved.

For centuries, the third main island has been responsible for maintaining order in the Sky Island.

In addition to this duty, it also has another responsibility.

That is, when the defenses of Kongyouzhou fail and external enemies invade, the third main island will activate the security protocol and begin to annihilate all invading enemies.

"Is that so?" Li Ye pondered.

With the fighting strength of the Tomorrow Alliance, they should be able to handle it.

The old gear, on the other hand, seemed extremely anxious.

"You'd better get ready quickly!"

Out of caution, Li Ye still went to the satellite control station and observed the entire view of Xia Kong You Zhou via satellite.

Then he saw an island a hundred nautical miles northwest of the fourth main island.

Moving, four satellite islands.

This is clearly the third main island that Old Gear mentioned.

As the satellite's reconnaissance perspective slowly zoomed in, he could clearly see the entire third main island.

This colossal island, once a formidable military stronghold, is slowly shifting across the ocean. Now, it has become a metal graveyard eroded by time.

The alloy armor plates groaned in the sea breeze, and the once gleaming weapon arrays were now covered with barnacles and corals, like a mechanical corpse being slowly swallowed by the sea.

Most of the island's outer defenses were crippled, and countless cables dangled into the sea like dying sea snakes. The barrels of the island's numerous main guns pointed askew in all directions.

Moreover, countless robots lay crookedly on the island.

It turns out that during the period of internal strife, the third main island also lost its maintenance and energy supply, and gradually became extremely weak.

"It seems like they don't have any combat capability anymore."

Just then, the four satellite islands surrounding the giant island suddenly emitted a deafening roar.

The four islands began to tremble violently, and several bottomless cracks appeared on the ground, spewing out scorching sparks.

Immediately afterwards, the four satellite islands began an earth-shattering transformation and reorganization.

Li Ye frowned.

These four satellite islands appear to be reorganized into combat robots?

His guess was correct.

The buildings on the satellite island slowly rose as a whole, reassembling into a sharply defined metal skull. Two military buildings rotated and docked, forming a mechanical eye that flashed red light.

Hidden at the island's base, giant hydraulic supports slowly straightened and rose, forming legs that lifted the entire island above the sea. Due to the sudden loss of the island's immense mass, the seabed collapsed under tremendous pressure, creating a furnace thousands of meters deep.

Immediately afterwards, the giant reactor array in the center of the island began to rotate and reassemble, with layers of armor plates unfolding like petals, revealing the core furnace inside, which pulsed with eerie blue energy.

Before long, the four islands transformed into super robots that were thousands of meters tall.

Satellite imagery clearly showed the four super robots in motion.

When they took their first step, the ocean shattered like fragile thin ice, creating a massive, circular wave hundreds of meters high, with shockwaves sweeping across the surrounding sea.

The swirling seawater boiled on the armored plates of the robot's legs, and the evaporating white mist rose like a giant fog.

The robots moved slowly, but each step caused geological tremors. Each time their feet left the sea, a vacuum vortex hundreds of meters in diameter was created, drawing in countless tons of seawater. And when the vortex collapsed, the resulting jets of water crashed against the robots' legs, creating silvery curtains of water.

Satellite imagery shows two super robots heading toward the fourth main island.

As for the remaining two super robots and the third main island, they headed to even more distant places.

Following their direction of travel, Li Ye discovered that their destination was the first main island of the growing mechanical world tree.

"No matter what, I have to take care of these two robots first," he thought.

Li Ye immediately ordered the Peacekeeper to conduct long-range bombing.

Guided by the satellite, the Peacemaker's electromagnetic railgun locked onto one of the super robots and opened fire.

A blinding blue-white streak of light ripped through the sky, piercing the clouds like a divine spear of punishment, and slammed into the center of the super robot's chest with tremendous kinetic energy.

At the moment of impact, a visible spherical shockwave exploded outwards, creating ripples in the air like Mach rings. The immense kinetic energy attached to the projectile was concentrated at the point of impact, which was several meters in size. The composite armor plate on the super robot's chest was instantly scorched into an incandescent state, and the metallic coating boiled and vaporized like mercury, leaving a trail of metallic vapor hundreds of meters long in the air.

However.
As the blinding flash subsided, the super robot only staggered back half a step. A molten gold-red wound appeared on its chest where it had been hit, but the damage only extended to the outermost layer of armor.

The projectile failed to completely penetrate the internal structure and at this moment it was like a bullet embedded in a giant's breastplate, slowly emitting blue smoke.

Amidst the crackling of electricity, the metal in the damaged area of ​​the super robot began to flow like liquid, enveloping the wound like silver blood, and then began to repair itself.

The scorching hot projectile plunged into the sea, vaporizing the seawater at the point of contact and releasing billowing steam.

Seeing this scene through satellite imagery, Li Ye couldn't help but ponder.

Although it was old and dilapidated, it was, after all, the army of the wasteland gods, and was generally considered to be quite reliable.

"Since that's the case, then let's give you a missile bombardment." He said calmly.

At Li Ye's command, the carrier strike group and the Peacekeeper launched a large number of missiles.

The missile swarm marched majestically through the sky, hurtling toward the two super robots.

After a long journey, the missiles finally hit them.

The continuous explosions instantly engulfed the two super robots in raging flames.
