Poor villages in Hanshan City.

"Holy crap!!! Elder Mo Tianyun really is the boss!!!"

"I really wonder how Brother Thorne is doing these days? But since Brother Mo Tianyun has become the Grand Elder, my Brother Thorne must be doing quite well too!"

Robbie completely disregarded his usual authority and swore in front of his employees.

Thorne had returned to Cold Mountain City once before and told Robbie some stories about fighting alongside Mo Tianyun against the Zerg.

Robbie's older brother is Thorne, Thorne's older brother is Mo Tianyun, so naturally, Mo Tianyun is Robbie's older brother!

This factory is located in a slum village and employs thousands of poor workers.

This factory is the largest of the Bright Eyes organization.

Their main business is the production of living mechs and the manufacturing of parts for producing mechs.

Lifestyle mechs, production mechs, and combat mechs are different. Lifestyle mechs are mechs that make it convenient for people to use in their daily lives, such as for travel and entertainment.

Production mechs are used to build cities, mine resources, and explore uninhabited planets.

Meanwhile, living mechs can be mass-produced based on blueprints, unlike combat mechs which require mental energy to inscribe their cores. This means that combat mechs cannot be mass-produced.

Furthermore, piloting a mech doesn't require mental energy, which aligns well with the needs of ordinary people.

However, without mental power to control and operate the mecha, the life mecha will never be as agile as the combat mecha, and it will also be unable to release martial arts techniques to form mecha martial arts, so its combat power is essentially non-existent.

(P.S.: Combat mechs, due to their unique requirement of being piloted by connecting with mental energy, are destined not to be mass-produced through mechanized manufacturing. Surely there are still people who don't know this by now? The life mechs and production mechs were already described in Chapter 4 of this book, but I didn't go into detail because it wasn't worth writing about. Now I'll just add to that.)

Meanwhile, Robbie and the factory managers watched the grand ceremony marking Mo Tianyun's inauguration as the Grand Elder of the Empire.

This factory belongs to the Bright Eyes organization, and the leader of the Bright Eyes organization is Robbie.

Since Thorne joined the army with Mo Tianyun, Robbie has taken over the Poison Eye organization and renamed it the Bright Eyes organization. It has now developed a large number of factories and helped tens of thousands of poor people find employment.

When Thorne came back last time, he encouraged Robbie to keep up the good work.

Many years later, Robbie's Bright Eyes organization became one of the top mecha trading organizations in the northern interstellar region of the Empire!

By then, the Bright Eyes organization will no longer primarily produce civilian mechs and parts for mech production. Instead, it will train a large number of mech manufacturers to directly produce complete combat mechs and sell them to the Imperial military to enhance the army's combat capabilities!

At the same time, it was sold to a large number of warriors without combat mechs, making the power of the civilians in the northern part of the empire even stronger!

Duna Star Defense Military Base.

The office of a colonel.

"Mo Tianyun...it really is him!"

"I thought Elder Mo Tianyun looked a lot like the Mo Tianyun I know, but I didn't expect it to really be him!"

"It's only been a few years??? He's already been promoted from general to Grand Elder???"

"Throughout the entire history of the empire, you probably can't find another person who has risen through the ranks so quickly, can you?"

Colonel Chris’s large eyes flashed with disbelief, but he quickly regained his composure.

Because in Colonel Chris's eyes, Mo Tianyun was already abnormal, breaking the rules time and time again, surpassing him at an incredible speed, and becoming an Imperial Major General.

Although it seems incredible that he was promoted from general to elder in just a few years, Colonel Chris accepted it very quickly.

After all, when Mo Tianyun first joined the combat mech division, he was just a lieutenant colonel. I thought Mo Tianyun's future achievements would definitely surpass mine!

But in just over a month, Mo Tianyun had completely left him far behind, which he found unbelievable at the time.

Now that this precedent has been set, Colonel Chris is no longer surprised.

Duna Star Defense Military Base, Mecha Manufacturing Department.

"It's young friend Tianyun! He has become the Grand Elder of the Empire!"

"Holy crap, it really is young friend Tianyun! In just a few short years, he's risen from general to Grand Elder of the Empire!!!"

"Fortunately, he didn't waste time on mecha manufacturing, otherwise he probably wouldn't have achieved such great success today!"

Several top-tier mecha manufacturers, including former Chairman Gracie and Old Belloc, were also watching Mo Tianyun's inauguration ceremony.

Moreover, almost all the mech combat divisions, ordinary soldiers, and high-ranking officers at the Duna Star Defense Military Base were watching.

After all, Mo Tianyun is now an Imperial Grand Elder with supreme power and is the leader of the northern part of their empire. Every soldier in the army who is not on duty is watching this inauguration ceremony.

"Hey, isn't this General Mo Tianyun?"

"Yes, we veterans still remember him. He killed the Zerg that invaded the base, saving the entire base and all the nearby colony planets!"

Mo Tianyun continued speaking slowly.

"Hanshan City is the city where I lived when I was a child, and the outskirts of this city are known as slums, where I spent my childhood..."

Mo Tianyun slowly began to recount his experiences and stories from his childhood and adolescence.

He wanted to show the people of the entire Oron Empire the difficult environment in which he grew up and the impoverished, hard-working, and miserable lives of the people in the slums.

"Although this world belongs to the strong, ordinary people also have the right to aspire to a better life!"

“Every strong person in the empire gradually grows from weak to strong, but some of our strong people, once they grow up, become high and mighty, looking down on and even oppressing ordinary people!”

"The people are the foundation. An empire's wealth and power cannot be separated from the support of the people. Only when a large number of people become powerful can the empire become powerful as well!"

"What I want to say is that what I do is to make people's lives better, to ensure that everyone can receive education fairly, to give everyone the opportunity to develop upwards, to give full play to their talents, and to fully demonstrate their abilities in every industry!"

"This will be my main policy for managing the northern part of the empire from now on... (more than 100,000 words omitted)"

When Mo Tianyun took office as the Grand Elder, his speech alone lasted for more than ten hours!
