Doomsday Code

Chapter 1014 General Situation

After exchanging some casual words, Chen Cheng remembered to introduce Lifia, who was sitting next to him.

"Oh right, I forgot about that. This is Lifia, she's a demigod-level archmage."

Chen Cheng explained to Huidun.

Although Huidun already knew this, his heart skipped a beat when he heard Chen Cheng's detailed introduction.

This was a demigod-level powerhouse. Although he had already met the demigod-level elders of the Elven race, he still couldn't help but feel nervous when facing someone of this caliber again.

Lifia, on the other hand, bowed gracefully and said:

"Hello, Your Highness, I am Lifia, a hero."

Actually, you and your ministers don't need to be so formal. I've come here so abruptly to disturb you; I should be the one apologizing.

"Hello, Miss Lifia, just call me by my name, Huidun."

Although he was both nervous and excited inside, Huidun calmly returned the greeting.

"Lifia isn't interested in listening to our rambling. Why don't you have someone take her out for a walk? If possible, it would be best to take her to the palace; I promised her that."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng gave Hui Dun a wink.

"You're right. The area where we live is very far from here. This is the first time I've ever seen a city with a population of over a million."

Moreover, your civilization and art are very similar to ours; I really want to see the pinnacle of your kingdom's art.

Lifia wasn't lying.

Ever since she learned that her ancestors were not natives of the small world, she had wanted to come out and find their roots.

Huidun, of course, would not miss such a good opportunity. They immediately summoned several art specialists from their talent pool and had them take Lifia to the capital for a tour.

On their way to be summoned, those artistic talents were naturally given instructions, making them realize the importance of what they were about to do.

Meanwhile, some astute strategists considered several possibilities from Lifia's request and had already prepared responses to these possibilities.

It could be said that their goal was to make Lyfia feel comfortable and at the same time, to use art as a starting point to build a bridge of friendship between them.

And this is just one aspect of the power that allows a kingdom's human resources to be mobilized.

After Lyfia left, Huidun rubbed his stiff face and let out a long sigh:

"You can't play games with people like this. Where did you find this archmage? I've never heard of this title before."

Chen Cheng smiled and sat down in front of Huidun, then said:

"Come on, you say I abducted her? Let me tell you, maybe you two were relatives a thousand years ago."

"Besides, without me bringing her here, would you even have a chance to get close to her? You think you can arrange for someone to seduce her? You're dreaming!"

Chen Cheng knew from the few guys who came to his door that it was all a deliberate arrangement, and if he could see it, Lifia could naturally see it too.

"Alright, you're right about this."

Then Hui Dun sat up straight, looked into Chen Cheng's eyes, and said:

"There's one more thing. Why are you here in the south instead of staying in the North? If you need any support, just say so. I've accumulated quite a bit of wealth over the years thanks to your plans."

HuiDun is also prepared for a major financial loss.

However, Chen Cheng shook his head and said:

"What would I do with your wealth? You weren't supposed to be here this time. I was originally planning to go straight to the Elven race, but seeing how well you're doing, I wanted to come and check on you."

Then Chen Cheng continued:

"By the way, what's going on with you? According to the plan, the elves should have come out by now, so why can't we see them?"

Upon hearing Chen Cheng ask about this, Huidun sighed and said:

"The situation is not as simple as you say. A batch of those old guys were killed, and the rest are all cunning and treacherous. Why would they really give up the interests they have in their mouths?"

Moreover, the elven population is already small, and given their nature, they are currently only active in the western regions.

"But you don't need to worry about that. I already have a plan. In this war against Feldor, I will make those vermin return to where they belong."

Chen Cheng nodded, then asked:

"What about the magic factory we talked about before? Without the elves' help, can you set up operations there?"

"There's no need to worry about that. The Western Region is not the same as it used to be. What you see here has already been realized in the Western Region."

After all, that's my stronghold. With Modanik's help, those parasites either died or fled, and the rest had no choice but to accept it.

It seems I was being too pessimistic. Now that the Western Region has developed, I don't need to worry too much.

At this moment, Huidun smiled and said:

"By the way, it's getting a bit too boring for us to keep talking here. Why don't you come with me to the research institute? Simov and his team have replicated a lot of the technology you left behind."

Then Huidun lowered his voice again and said:

"And do you remember that dog-beating stick you mentioned? They're at the final stage of their theoretical argumentation. Perhaps you could go and give them some pointers."

Upon hearing the word "dog-beating stick," Chen Cheng's heart skipped a beat.

He had dealt with this thing his whole life in his previous life, so naturally he knew all the formulas, blueprints, and materials required for its theoretical proof by heart.

Moreover, this knowledge was not entirely kept secret in his previous life; it could be purchased online for a small fee.

The real key lies in the massive amount of computation required to calculate the formula, as well as the acquisition and purification of raw materials.

Therefore, the information provided by Chen Cheng is actually very complete.

The most crucial point is the enormous amount of electricity required by the centrifuge during material purification, and judging from the power lines in the capital city of Nera, they have already begun to deploy this technology.

They even sold off excess electricity to recoup funds.

They followed Huidun out of the mansion, and then out of the city to the research institute.

Looking at the adjacent scientific research institute and magical research institute, Chen Cheng could only say that Huidun was truly a genius.

Although both technology and magic seem to be applications of the laws governing the universe, one is based on humans, while the other is based on machines.

When these two are compared side by side, people will fight tooth and nail.

This can be seen from the expressions on the faces of the researchers from different research institutes coming and going.

It is clear that the Academy of Sciences has now gained the upper hand over the Demon Academy.
