Chapter 231 Sanhai Heavy Industry, a military stronghold, a legion technique? Gate of Heaven!

Sanhai City is the name of the coastal city in front of us.

It's called a city, but in reality, from a distance all you can see are giant chimneys rising into the sky, billowing thick smoke that turns the entire sky gray.

The noisy sounds of giant machinery could be heard clearly from afar, and a large number of vehicles were coming and going.

...Sanhai City is not a city in the ordinary sense.

It is not a major industrial city.

It belongs to Sanhai Heavy Industry.

Sanhai Heavy Industry is one of the most powerful forces in Xia Kingdom besides the Nine Pillars of the Nation, as Lin Fan and Qin Fang mentioned before.

After the world underwent a major transformation, the original industrial system suffered a near-devastating blow... but as the war ended, the industrial system was rapidly rebuilt.

Sanhai Heavy Industry is a behemoth that rose to prominence during this process.

Sanhai Heavy Industry's main businesses span a wide range, including automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, renewable energy, electronics, chemicals, and many other fields.

Putting aside other things... almost 20% of the vehicles you can see in various cities now come from Sanhai Heavy Industry.

Don't underestimate this 20%... it's a percentage of the entire Xia Kingdom's total.

With so many cities in Xia Kingdom... you can imagine how enormous this enterprise must be.

As for how to deliver the cars to various cities?

That naturally relies on 'packaging scrolls'.

The 'packing scroll' can only contain inanimate, non-duplicate items, and the weight that can be packed varies depending on the item's rarity.

The green elite-level 'packaging scroll' can completely pack up the vehicle and then put it into the panel's inventory.

Then, a team of professionals will deliver them to various cities, where they can be retrieved...

Almost all vehicles in the city come from this source.

The backpack panel has a total of one thousand slots, with each packing scroll occupying one slot, allowing one person to transport over a thousand vehicles at a time.

In some ways, it is more convenient than previous transport vehicles.

...Of course, the risks are also very high.

If someone dies unexpectedly during the journey, all but the parts that have been exposed will disappear.

As a result, Sanhai Heavy Industry has maintained a large transportation team.

Once a mission is assigned, a transport team of dozens or even hundreds of people will set off together to protect a dozen or so transport workers...

To ensure the safe delivery of goods.

Among them are many outstanding professionals... even epic professionals.

Therefore, although it is just a company, Sanhai Heavy Industry is also very strong in terms of professionals.

The professionals under his command are in no way inferior to those from the Guozhu family.

In some respects, their influence is even greater than that of a single prominent family...

After all, they do more than just build cars.

Electronics, copy energy, machinery...

Frankly speaking, the fact that the people of Xia can now live a modern life is largely thanks to Sanhai Heavy Industry and several other major heavy industry companies.

Naturally, heavy industry companies like these also have official backing, making them semi-official in nature.

...

At this moment, Tong Zhang, Xuan Jin, and Yu Chuo arrived at Sanhai City, one of the core cities of Sanhai Heavy Industry.

They were the advance team chosen by Qin Fang.

After gazing into the distance for a while, Xuan Jin let out a soft breath and asked Tong Zhang, "Have you made contact?"

Tong Zhang looked away from his phone and nodded: "They sent the location. They told us to wait here, and they're sending someone over."

Xuanjin nodded and said nothing more.

After waiting for about half an hour, a convoy drove up from the direction of Sanhai City. The three of them remained calm and stood still to wait.

Soon, the vehicles stopped, and a middle-aged man got out of the lead car. Seeing the masked group of people, he quickly walked over.

"Gentlemen, you must be the distinguished guests of the park?"

The middle-aged man, who looked to be in his forties, had a warm smile on his face and reached out his hand from afar.

Tong Zhang reached out and shook hands with the other person, smiling, "Hello."

"Hello, hello... I'm so sorry I'm late, I've kept you all waiting."

After shaking hands with Xuan Jin and Yu Chuo, the man smiled and said, "My name is Zhuo Gu, and I am in charge of receiving these distinguished guests."

"Mr. Zhuo, you're too kind. You can call me Tong Zhang. Thank you for your help this time." Tong Zhang smiled politely.

"Oh, you flatter me, you flatter me. What trouble is there? Hahaha, although I have been staying in Sanhai City, I have still heard about some of your organization's heroic deeds... Killing alien races and breaking through dungeons, you have truly vented our human race's anger! I am honored to meet you all today!"

This Zhuo Gu was clearly a smooth talker. His tone was warm but not overly excited. In just a few words, he built a closer relationship with Tong Zhang and the others, praising Paradise without being obsequious... He was indeed a remarkable person.

No wonder Sanhai Heavy Industry sent him to receive them.

After exchanging a few jokes, he said, "Gentlemen, this isn't the place to talk. Let's get in the car first. I've prepared a simple meal and drinks; shall we go in and chat while we eat?"

Tong Zhang smiled and said, "No need for a meal. We have duties to perform. Let's head straight to the gate."

Zhuo Gu was visibly taken aback for a moment, but quickly smiled and said, "Well... that's fine, whatever you say. This way, please."

"Hard."

Tong Zhang smiled and agreed, and then, led by Zhuo Gu, the three of them got into the car.

Jin Yu and Yu Chuo rode in a separate car, while Tong Zhang was warmly invited by Zhuo Gu to ride in the same car.

As they got into the car, many people in the convoy were secretly eyeing the three of them.

"Who are these mysterious people? Who are they that made President Zhuo personally greet them?"

"I don't know... Mr. Zhuo just received the call and rushed over immediately... He must be a big shot."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"Official?"

"It doesn't seem like it, they're all wearing masks... Officials aren't usually this mysterious, are they?"

They whispered among themselves, but seeing that Zhuo Gu and the others had gotten into the car, they quickly got in as well.

The convoy turned around and headed towards Sanhai City.

...

After the vehicle entered Sanhai City, it became clear that it was indeed a major industrial town, with factories all along the way.

The giant machinery roared loudly.

Large numbers of workers dressed in the same uniforms were busy moving between the factory buildings.

The convoy traveled for over an hour, traversing the factory area, and then saw another important town in the distance.

There are many professionals dressed in military uniforms.

At its main entrance hangs a plaque with the name 'Sanhai Town' written on it.

A sign next to it reads "Military restricted area, no unauthorized personnel allowed."

Throughout the journey, Zhuo Gu talked to Tong Zhang. Tong Zhang was an excellent talker, keeping the conversation flowing without ever touching on the situation at the amusement park.

When he noticed the slight surprise in the eyes of the person with the pupil-like pupils upon seeing this important town, he smiled and explained, "The boundary gate is inside... Generally, boundary gates are heavily guarded, partly to prevent our people from passing through at will, and partly to guard against other races coming from the other side."

Tong Zhang nodded in realization. When the soldier on duty at the gate saw the convoy, he immediately frowned, stepped forward, and gestured for the vehicle to pull over.

The vehicle stopped.

The soldier on duty walked over, saluted the lead vehicle, and then walked over.

"Sanhai Heavy Industry?" he asked, looking into the vehicle.

Then his gaze fell on Tong Zhang, his brows furrowed, and he said with some wariness, "Please take off your mask."

Tong Zhang raised an eyebrow slightly but didn't speak. Zhuo Gu, who was next to him, smiled and said, "This is a distinguished guest of our Sanhai Heavy Industry. We have already reported to your leader. This is the inspection-free pass issued by your leader. Take a look."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the soldier on duty.

The soldier paused for a moment, then took it and looked at it.

"No inspection required, passage permitted."

Upon seeing the officer's seal below, the soldier frowned and said, "I need to verify this."

"Please go ahead." Zhuo Gu nodded with a smile.

The soldier walked back to the guard post, picked up the phone and made a call. A short while later, he returned, handed the paper back to Zhuo Gu, took two steps back, and said to his comrades at the door, "Let him through."

The gate railings were then raised, the soldiers saluted the vehicle, and the vehicle drove in smoothly.

As I walked through the barracks, I saw many soldiers training.

Standing in line, running, etc.

After observing for a while, he said, "Is this kind of military training... effective in battles against foreign tribes?"

Zhuo Gu paused for a moment, then smiled and explained, "There are several Tier 2 dungeons near Sanhai City. Strength is improved in these dungeons. But this kind of training is still useful... not in terms of increasing strength, but in terms of improving discipline."

discipline……

Suddenly, his vision blurred.

Then he nodded.

Indeed, when fighting against other races, these soldiers, mostly ordinary professionals, can only form a limited fighting force when they fight individually.

However, if discipline is strict enough, and orders are obeyed without question, and uniformity is maintained, then combat effectiveness will indeed be greatly enhanced.

"Moreover, the key point is that the army generally possesses special 'military formation techniques'... These military formation techniques are not to be underestimated. However, they have special requirements for the uniformity of the members in the formation. Only when a certain level of uniformity is achieved can their power be manifested."

"Military formation skills?"

Tong Zhang looked surprised... This was something he had never heard of before.

"Military formation techniques only have a chance of appearing in the Fallen Realm," Zhuo Gu said with a smile.

His pupils were suddenly clear, and then his eyes flickered slightly.

...It seems there are many things he doesn't know about this Fallen Realm...

My curiosity about the Land of Fallen Boundaries grew stronger.

It took another half hour to pass through the military barracks before we finally saw a huge open space ahead.

There were a large number of soldiers on duty in the open space, and behind them, there was a flow of light, which was obviously an extremely thick barrier covering an area of ​​several thousand meters.

However, Tong Zhang's gaze was drawn to the long queue not far away.

There were several teams, all of them professionals, and they were clearly not from the military. There were quite a few of them, probably over a thousand.

"Who are these people?" Tong Zhang asked in surprise.

Zhuo Gu chuckled, "While not many people know about the Fallen Realm, there are still quite a few. After reaching the third rank, anyone can apply to enter the Fallen Realm. Especially those from major universities..."

Zhuo Gu pointed in a direction with his chin: "Look, that's the university teams over there..."

Pupil looked over instinctively and saw a group of people, mostly around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, queuing up. Soldiers were guarding the entrance to the barrier. They were holding something that looked like a student ID and were being checked by the soldiers one after another before entering the barrier behind them.

"These students are all elite-level or higher professionals... They usually enter the Fallen Realm for training after reaching level 3..."

Zhuo Gu then went on to explain.

Suddenly, the pupils blurred...

Then it became a little awkward.

He never attended a university.

After all, he had only awakened the profession of 'blacksmith' before, which did not qualify him to enter a university.

In fact, the country has invested a great deal of effort in cultivating livelihood professions in the past.

I'm wondering if I can train 'farmers' who can grow food for dungeons, 'gardeners' who can produce valuable materials, or 'blacksmiths' who can forge high-level equipment...

Unfortunately, it took several years and a lot of resources to cultivate a group of livelihood professions.

However, the items produced by these professions are completely incomparable to those in the dungeons.

For example, a blacksmith might spend a lot of resources to improve his rank, but in the end, he would only create ordinary equipment. Improving his rank would only improve the 'level' of the equipment, not its 'grade'.

Even 'high-quality' items are rare.

Not to mention 'Excellent' and 'Epic' level equipment.

I've never even heard of it.

The input-output ratio is completely disproportionate.

This forced the country to abandon all livelihoods and professions.

So, if it weren't for the boss... Tong Zhang would probably still be in his city, struggling to make a living...

After letting out a silent sigh, Tong Zhang asked, "Where did these people come from? I didn't see them just now..."

He subconsciously turned his head to look back at the road they had come from, and there was no one else on the roads inside the military camp except for their convoy.

"Of course, there's more than one way to get here; many roads are open to the public. It's just that the roads open to the public are quite long, and there are many checkpoints along the way, making inspections very troublesome. We're taking the internal road... you could call it a VIP passage."

Zhuo Gu explained with a smile, "President An specifically instructed us to cooperate fully in arranging things for these distinguished guests, so we can't let them wait in line indefinitely..."

Tong Zhang paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

"It's just my duty," Zhuo Gu said with a smile.

As they spoke, the vehicles circled the barrier and headed in one direction, instead of going behind the long lines of vehicles.

Clearly, entering the barrier also involves using the 'VIP passage'.

Finally, after a short while, the convoy stopped in a secluded spot.

"arrive."

Zhuo Gu laughed.

Open the door and get out of the car.

Tong Zhang and the other two also gathered together.

Then, following Zhuo Gu, they walked to the entrance of the barrier, which was still heavily guarded, not far away.

Upon reaching the entrance, Zhuo Gu took out the pass again and handed it to the guard.

After verifying the information, the soldier nodded and stepped aside.

As you can see, there is a ripple on this thick light screen, as if a portal has been opened in the barrier.

Zhuo Gu turned to the three with a smile and said, "Everyone, I'll see you here. From here, just go in. Once you pass through this area, you'll see the boundary gate at a glance. You can enter the Land of Fallen Boundaries on your own."

"However, you'd better team up before you go in, because the first time you enter the Fallen Realm, you'll be randomly teleported within a certain range. Only by teaming up will you be teleported to the same location."

Tong Zhang nodded, already aware of this, and smiled, "Okay, thank you."

"You're too kind, everyone. I hope we can meet again sometime."

"goodbye."

After nodding, Tong Zhang, Xuan Jin, and Yu Chuo stepped into the barrier together.

The instant they passed through the barrier, they saw a huge gate of light standing thousands of meters away.

It radiated a golden light...

Gate of Boundaries!
