Chapter 1601: Chapter 1601

The Skill Hall has been fully converted, and next it can assist in law enlightenment. At the same time, the production of Guardians is also underway. In this kind of technological world, Guardians can assume various types.

Apart from those with attacks that are simply too weak, the other options are quite good.

The corpse of the Desert Death God that was killed earlier will not be used for production here because its strongest trait is poison. In this world, poison isn’t particularly effective. If it can break through defenses, it will directly obliterate the enemy, but if not, the poison is useless.

Next is the Black Dragon Tower. This is the Mage Tower I constructed in this world, and now it has been fully upgraded.

Ten thousand six-tier Black Dragons are equivalent to several fully outfitted six-tier fleets. Coupled with the innate uniqueness of the Black Dragon species, every single one can simultaneously combat multiple fleets.

This group of Black Dragons here is enough to protect my entire star system from any threat. If I want, I can even command them to guard the entire battlefield. After reaching tier seven, territorial boundaries cease to exist, and these Black Dragons can fly to any corner of the universe.

Meanwhile, a seven-tier Black Dragon is also currently being incubated. A seven-tier Black Dragon is not an ordinary creature. Du You suspects that the star fortresses and Starry Sky Beasts in this world won’t be able to compete against it.

After all, Black Dragons are originally renowned for their magic resistance, ranking among the top three in the Dragon Clan. Their resistance to energy types is equally formidable, and most tier-seven attacks in this world are energy-based.

Without laws infused within the attacks, they are inherently countered.

Adding the firepower of the Mage Tower itself, I now effectively possess two tier-seven combat forces.

Even if I leave now, my territory will likely remain very secure.

"Alright then, the construction of functional buildings across the entire territory will be assigned to you next. Additionally, we can now attempt to occupy the surrounding planets, even though it isn’t officially recognized."

"Rest assured, Lord, we will handle the official matters. Many areas have been occupied by the enemy at the front, and now that we have reclaimed them, theoretically, they are all part of our territory."

Indeed, even within the Star Ring Alliance, similar regulations exist.

Those planets generally aren’t worth much and most people wouldn’t bother fighting for them. However, if someone claims them under the pretense of territorial ownership and then takes them back, those planets theoretically do become their territory. Of course, more complex regulations also exist.

These aren’t matters for Du You to be concerned about. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽

Watching Ke Jisi go off to handle affairs, Du You turned his attention to the two blueprints in front of him. These were spoils from the last battle, the only tier-seven buildings acquired thus far.

"I wonder what the effect of these buildings will be. Tier-seven buildings—if they can mass-produce tier-seven combat power, that would be fantastic. Unfortunately, these blueprints can only be used in this world."

Indeed, the blueprints clearly state they can only function in this world. Perhaps any building that achieves a tier-seven rating can only be constructed in its respective world. After all, it is infused with the laws of this world, and if taken to another world, mismatched laws would surely cause adverse reactions.

Buildings are not like humans. Humans can utilize their enlightenment of laws freely and adapt to other environments for adjustment, but buildings cannot. Buildings rigidly apply those laws.

Building this tier-seven structure will require a considerable amount of time.

Over the next month, Du You’s army successfully occupied half of the battlefield—though the land was claimed, construction had not yet commenced. The military officials, despite their dissatisfaction, were powerless in this matter.

Finally, after so much time, two buildings have been completed.

Interstellar Fortress Conversion Factory (Tier Seven):

Transforms planets into interstellar fortresses, with a conversion speed of one per year, provided materials are supplied. Includes one Star Compression Cannon; other tier-seven weapons must be supplied separately.

The first is the Interstellar Fortress Conversion Factory. As the name suggests, this facility specializes in transforming planets into interstellar fortresses. It is built directly in the starry sky and can be used repeatedly. However, each use incurs high maintenance costs.

This is indeed one of Du You’s functional buildings. Its operating costs come not from ordinary materials but special strategic resources. These materials are quite rare within the battlefield territory.

If not for the monitoring capabilities of my Mage Tower and Lord’s Mansion overseeing every functional building, finding these resources would be exceedingly difficult. Procuring them from other locations wouldn’t be easy either.

After all, these are the rarest of resources—truly invaluable strategic materials.

The three Interstellar Fortress conversion blueprints Du You kept earlier didn’t require this building or special materials, but they were limited to creating only three fortresses. Any further construction must rely on the methods of this world.

The conversion speed of the Interstellar Fortress is not very fast; only one planet can be transformed per year. However, this speed is already extraordinary—it directly converts a planet, which is unprecedented in efficiency. For context, most existing Interstellar Fortresses in this world take decades to build, and even then, they start as incomplete prototypes.

Fully adapting and refining a fortress requires prolonged, gradual perfection.

After all, it concerns an entire planet—even current fortresses remain perpetually upgraded and adapted over time.

Similarly, newly created Interstellar Fortresses come equipped with only a Star Compression Cannon; other tier-seven weapons are absent. To outfit those weapons, alternative solutions are needed.

The limited offensive capability of a single Star Compression Cannon results in somewhat constrained and monotonous firepower.

Its sole advantage lies in production speed and volume. As long as I have sufficient materials and build multiple Interstellar Fortress Conversion Factories operating simultaneously, production capacity will never be a concern.

By constructing functional buildings on these fortresses, I can essentially create a massive factory.

Unlike other Interstellar Fortresses, mine are completely self-sufficient after construction, requiring no external supplies whatsoever. However, I’ll need to address population concerns.

Utilizing an Interstellar Fortress requires a minimum population of one million—ideally tens of millions. After all, this is a proper planetary-scale construct, capable of housing vast numbers of inhabitants, far beyond the capacity of mere warships.
