3796 could use energy to synthesize any matter out of thin air. In theory, as long as there was enough energy and the matter was recorded in its database, then it could be synthesized using energy. However, the energy required to create matter out of energy was extremely terrifying. Thus, in order to manufacture a large number of various technological creations still required a variety of materials.
“Iron ore is insufficient?” Yang Feng’s eyebrows creased slightly.
Although these days, Yang Feng spared no costs or effort, urging merchants to transport iron ore towards the Autumn Leaf Town from all over and wantonly plundering the Autumn Leaf Town’s iron tools, yet it was still far from enough to meet the production needs of the mechanical factory.
His eyes glimmered with intense light, and he said solemnly: “There’s no other way, it looks like we need to expand! Pull up all battle robot models that can be produced at the moment!”
<Yes! Master!> 3796 quickly pulled up various battle robot models.

<Colossus heavy duty bomber. Production requirement: 100 kun of energy. General evaluation of fighting strength: level-7.>
<Thunder demon heavy duty carrier. Production requirement: 60 kun of energy. General evaluation of fighting strength: level-5.>
<...>
Yang Feng looked at the information regarding the different types of weapons, then frowned slightly and said solemnly: “The highest is only level-7, isn’t it too weak? There are no higher level weapons?”
Ever since he received the inheritance, he saw a lot of terrifying weapons with power far beyond that of trivial level-7 robots.
<There are, but my current energy limit lies at 100 kun of energy. I’m only capable of producing components under 100 kun of energy! The production cost of many components and materials for battle robots with level-8 fighting strength or higher exceeds 100 kun of energy. At present, I’m incapable of producing those components, and therefore, am also incapable of producing battle robots with level-8 fighting strength or higher.>
<There are three methods to solve this problem. The first method is to produce a fortified stronghold and use its large-scale energy and matter converter to transform materials into higher grade. The second method is to look for the right materials. The third method is to keep promoting this place’s technology and build more factories until this place’s technology is capable of producing those components and materials.>
“A fortified stronghold?” Yang Feng willed it and looked down at the bottom.
<Mobile fortified stronghold, 3 kilometers in diameter, equipped with 100 rhombus laser cannons, 100 200 millimeter heavy artillery, 300 45 millimeter cannons, 100 basic stronghold artillery, level-3 large energy shield. Requirements: 10,000 tons of steel, 100,000 kun of energy, 1 unit of dimensional crystals. General evaluation of fighting strength: level-10.>
“Fuck!” Yang Feng cursed in a low voice.
10,000 tons of steel required 20,000 to 30,000 tons of iron ore. 1 ton of iron ore costed about 2 gold coins. Therefore, 30,000 tons of iron ore was equivalent to 60,000 gold coins. If purchased under normal circumstances, then even a century’s worth of the Autumn Leaf Town’s income wouldn’t be enough.
As for energy, the solar umbrellas could absorb 0.01 kun of energy per day. At present, 2,000 solar umbrellas could only absorb 20 kun of energy per day. At the current rate, it would require 50,000 days to collect the energy necessary for a mobile fortified stronghold. As for dimensional crystals, he hadn’t even heard of it before.
He contemplated for a moment before saying: “First produce a batch of simplified versions of the bladed robots, gunner robots, and artillery robots for me to employ.”
3796 asked doubtfully: <Simplified versions?>
Yang Feng put forward his improvement requirements that cut down on various aspects: “My current enemies are only medieval people without guns. The bladed robots only need to be able to kill Knights with their blades. The gunner robots can employ 12.5 millimeter heavy machine guns, the artillery robots only need to be equipped with a 120 millimeter heavy artillery, and the combat radius can be reduced to within 200 kilometers. There’s no need for such large frames, human-sized frames will do it. If possible, equip them with human-like skin and make them look like humans.”
According to Yang Feng’s requirements, 3796 made some adjustments and modifications, and quickly designed battle robots that met Yang Feng’s requirements.
<Simplified bladed robot, 1.8 meters tall, 600 kilograms of weight. Equipped with 2 super-alloy blades and a small movement furnace. Capable of combat within a 200-kilometer-radius. Overall production requirement: 0.1 kun of energy. General evaluation of fighting strength: level-4.>
<Simplified gunner robot, 1.8 meters tall, 600 kilograms of weight. Equipped with a 12.5 millimeter heavy machine gun and a small movement furnace. Capable of combat within a 200-kilometer-radius. Overall production requirement: 0.1 kun of energy. General evaluation of fighting strength: level-4.>
<Simplified artillery robot, 1.8 meters tall, 600 kilograms of weight. Equipped with 120 millimeter heavy artillery and a small scale movement furnace. Capable of combat within a 200-kilometer-radius. Overall production requirement: 0.1 kun of energy. General evaluation of fighting strength: level-4.>
Satisfied, Yang Feng placed a large order: “First make one of each to protect me, and then make 100 of each.”
3796 responded: <Yes! Master!>
