my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 61 The new moon rises again
After easily taking care of the android Envi, Wang Shui returned to the rear and was beaming with joy all day long. He was also smiling when sorting out his study notes every day.

Sylvia on the other side also became interested in fighting, but at this level of war she was just playing war games. She just chased and intercepted the Ames army every day, forcing them to retreat continuously.

As the situation in Ishval eased, Wang Shui began large-scale infrastructure construction at his own expense and actively expanded sea and land trade routes, making this barren area prosperous again, far better than before.

Soon, Amestris could not sit still. They mobilized 2 well-trained professional soldiers and secretly assembled to the southwest of Ishval.

This mobilized a large number. They were preparing to gather a large army and penetrate the center of Ishval in a short period of time. Even if all these armies were wiped out, they would still spill their blood on the central city of Ishval to complete the [Seal of Blood].

This is a necessary condition for launching the National Formation Formation.

Their mobilization was quite covert. All the 2 troops came from the Central Army, which was the property that the artificial man forces had always retained.

Even the generals of the Eastern Military Region did not know about this extremely confidential operation, and the front line did not know about their recent movements to lure the enemy. They were actually providing cover for this unit.

Originally, Wang Shui was not supposed to know, but it was not until a huge rocket order was delivered to him, and [Zhi Nao·Crater] reminded him that the data was abnormal, that Wang Shui remembered that he also produced the arms on Ames. of!
Gan, recently Sylvia has always complained that the Ames army has become more maneuverable and has much more firepower when retreating. It turns out that Wang Shui has also exerted force in the arsenal over there.

But the money has to be earned. The infrastructure here in Ishval still needs money from Ames... Replacing the old battlefield with a modern city is definitely profitable.

Compared with the arms sales from both sides, this unusual order is a bigger problem.

Wang Shui quickly returned to Ames and transformed back into his original state alchemist [Sylvia]. He learned of the sneak attack as a master of military industry in the android camp.

That night, Wang Shui was a little speechless when he looked at the documents on President Ishval's affairs and the military industry order report of Amestorius in his office:
"What should I do? The Central Army wants me to cooperate with the secret operation to attack me. Should I discover my sneak attack in advance?"

"What are you talking about...Whether it's strategic or plot significance, we can't easily let the androids achieve their goals."

Sylvia only hated that there was no structure around Aqua Regia for her to control. Recently, she particularly wanted to repair Aqua Regia, which was getting carried away.

"If the artificial humans achieve their goals, they may stop the war immediately. But now that Ishval has the advantage and has slaughtered 10,000+ compatriots for no reason, they will not give up. You, the president, will be held up by them. To the battlefield, unless you decide now to push the war to Amestorius, or to withdraw."

"There is no need to expand the war, and it is even more impossible to withdraw. The [Ishval National Alchemy Research Institute] is very important now. Every additional day it operates, the data produced will greatly improve my alchemy."

The bottom line is not to give up Ishwal’s identity as President.

"So we still have to annihilate this surprise attack force and let the situation continue to be stalemate. How much force will we use this time?"

When Sylvia inquired, she was already dispatching drones that were hovering over the battlefield. She had completely defeated the enemy in terms of information warfare, so battlefield dispatch was particularly easy.

"With great force, we annihilated them in the first contact battle, but we can't be too specific. The officers here are not idiots. For such a large secret force, they spent a lot of effort to conceal their march, but they just happened to Being eaten by our main force is simply a clear sign that we have high-level spies.”

When Wang Shui was thinking about a suitable method, a point on the electronic map lit up. This was a point on the Central Army's beheading action route, and it had already penetrated deeper into Ishval's territory, where the terrain was relatively complex.

The point was marked by Sylvia. While Aqua Regia was attracted, Sylvia told her a plan:
"Here, there are only our temporary base stations and simple sentries. We can quickly build some fake important buildings here, such as field hospitals and logistics warehouses, or heavy factories, to make the enemy think they have accidentally bumped into us. At that time, it will be very appropriate for us to launch a fierce counterattack."

Building sensitive targets on someone else's march route?Wonderful!

"Why are you so skilled? Have you ever used this kind of underhanded method before?"

"Just kidding, our system is like mercenaries. If there is a fight, we will fight. We never have to make unnecessary excuses. Human lives are not valuable anyway.

All the equipment and extraordinary power of the awakened ones are earned by themselves. The system only needs to support the highest-level awakened ones. The high-level bosses will continue to produce high-level resources. If you just miss a little bit of water, you can satisfy more people. With the needs of low-level awakened people, and the large number of Kaizi who spend big money to exchange our war currencies, the system will not be timid and slow to fight, but will fight whenever it wants. It will make a lot of money, okay? "

Sylvia did not say this with any sarcasm, but with a smile. After all, she is just a digital soul now. She can watch others (Aqua Wang) struggling on the battlefield, which feels quite refreshing.

Sure enough, Wang Shui had already collapsed on the sofa, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Stop scolding, don't scold, send a few engineering teams over, build the factory frame a little bigger, and put a bunch of signs on it, just say [military industrial powerhouse, idlers stop].

Oh, by the way, send more troops over and let them use [Philosopher's Sword] to harvest as much as possible. Recently, the consumption of Philosopher's Stone has been a bit high, and there is not enough criminals in Amestris. "

"I always feel that your bottom line is getting lower and lower. How about making some interesting agreement? For example, if one day you refine innocent civilians into philosopher's stones, let me kill you."

"Then you also died together?" Wang Shui didn't know how to complain.

"Yes, I saved the common people, and you were killed as a demon who played with souls. We are all happy." Sylvia became happier as she talked.

"Come on, don't you hate heroism the most, and besides, my Queen, you have killed more people directly or indirectly than me?"

"That's different. I was forced by the evil system in the beginning and had no choice but to become a war hound, just like I am now forced by you to fight against ordinary people."

Wang Shui suddenly felt heartbroken:

"Hill, you have changed. You are no longer the cold-blooded Queen. You are much thicker-skinned, and you dare to slander me."

"Hey, others can't hear it, so you care about me~"

Hill suddenly made a cute voice like Hill's sister, which made Wang Shui frown and shake his head like an old father. At this time, Hill's sisters in the public channel were also silent, and no one dared to remind them that this was a public channel.

"It seems that the digital life of being addicted to the Internet all day has harmed you. Alas, although I just mastered it when I visited the [Gate of Truth] a few days ago, it is time now."

Wang Shui shook his head helplessly, got up and went to the next room.

This is a laboratory. There is a large open space in the middle of the room with thickened walls, which is used to experiment with forming formations. "What are you going to do?!"

"Wow, you made a request yourself, but you forgot it only a few years ago."

As Wang Shui spoke, he took out a Philosopher's Stone and pointed at the ground. The material of the floor changed rapidly, and an extremely complex formation was soon formed. The technology used in it was quite complex. Not only did he recently go to " "Gate of Truth" and a lot of cutting-edge alchemical knowledge produced in research institutes.

"Don't you no longer need to refine the formation?"

"Of course, but there are a lot of technologies that transcend this world. If it is built solely on the Philosopher's Stone, the loss will be very large. The Philosopher's Stone is more suitable for providing materials, rather than replacing knowledge. The more powerful alchemy it is, the more powerful it is. In the hands of a magician, it can produce miraculous effects."

"You don't have to go so far to brag about yourself." Sylvia habitually complained and made trouble.

"Oh, ignorant mortals, let's see the "truth"! "

Wang Shui suddenly shouted as if he was sick. He opened his arms, and the Philosopher's Stone in his hands instantly turned into ashes. Blue and red lightning intertwined, but he kept opening his arms for about 1 minute, and there was still only white light in the room. The forming formation and the sky filled with lightning.

"You know, you are very embarrassed now..." Sylvia said secretly.

"Don't argue, this is high-level alchemy." Wang Shui is not thin-skinned.

Another minute passed, and suddenly at a certain moment, the lightning in the room actually changed color. It was no longer blue or red, but turned into black and white!
Yes, every spreading lightning is silvery white with black edges, and the room is filled with a sacred and solemn atmosphere!

Then, directly above the huge formation, in mid-air, a black and white, two-meter-long, vertical "line" gradually became thicker. This "line" slowly extended to the left and right.

In the synchronized vision of Sylvia and Aqua Regia, she saw a huge gray stone slab "growing"!

It wasn't until the growth stopped and the stone slab full of patterns and words was completely displayed in front of the two of them that Sylvia came back to her senses in a daze. She could clearly detect the patterns and words on the stone slab, but when she concentrated her attention When I went to look at it, I could only see a blurry afterimage, and as soon as I looked away, the blurry content I just barely saw would instantly disappear in my memory.

"[Divine Item]!" Sylvia rarely exclaimed, "You! You! You have refined an item that contains divinity!"

"What's all the fuss about is the [Gate of Truth]. It's something everyone has. I guess those Hill sisters who can use alchemy also have it. It's just that I am the only one who can build the [Gate of Truth] in reality." Mastery, people in this world have no magic power, and they cannot learn the modern alchemy of the main world."

Wang Shui is relatively calm. He has been going to the library on the other side of the [Gate of Truth] every day recently. He has indeed learned a lot of interesting mysterious knowledge. Not only him, but also the entire [Ishval National Alchemy Research Institute] researchers. You will have the opportunity to receive additional Philosopher's Stones and search for information on the opposite side of the "Gate".

This is the correct use of the Philosopher's Stone! (Referring to Shaorenpan Technology)

"You don't understand! The value of [divine items] is infinite! This kind of thing has extremely high authority and has extremely high priority when resisting various judgments. Its attributes and rules override any non-divine equipment. and skills. In other words, no divine attack can even cause any damage to it."

"Wow! Couldn't that be used as a shield? A gate shield, right... However, the system did not determine that it was my item."

As he said that, Wang Shui had already approached his own door of truth, and stretched out his hand to pat it twice.

"Because this is a fantasy world, the system needs to consume a lot of resources to build extraordinary equipment from this kind of world, not to mention this [divine item]. If you can return to the main world and build it again, the system will definitely be free I helped you identify it. But logically speaking, this thing should belong to a certain god? Is this really your door?"

"Of course it's mine," Wang Shui was very sure about this. "In other words, the setting of this world is like this. Every individual in the world is a part of "God". Of course, this door also belongs to "God" , but it exists because of me, and it will disappear when I die. "

"I don't understand. What's the function of this door?"

"Well, I can only feel this effect of greatly increasing alchemy. To be more specific, it can use a certain authority to achieve the ultimate effect of alchemy, greatly reduce mental loss, and at the same time greatly improve precision. Spend."

Wang Shui explained while controlling the changes in the refining formation under his feet, but the huge stone gate in the sky did not disappear because of the disappearance of the refining formation. It was still stagnant in the air accompanied by black and white lightning.

"Okay, I'm not here to show off my "door"," Wang Shui said, taking out another Philosopher's Stone and completely sacrificing it to ashes, "Do you still remember that you are helping me exercise? What do you say when training combat skills? "

"Um...waste?"

"It's an artificial body! Don't you want a human body?"

Aqua regia hooked his fingers, and the black and white lightning gathered in front of the [Gate of Truth]. A young woman's body was quickly constructed in the lightning. This was not considered the creation of a human body, but just an empty body. .

Seeing a body floating in mid-air that she had not seen for seven or eight years, Sylvia's digital soul felt a throbbing that was unfamiliar to Wang Shui.

"Don't worry, the soul and body cannot be connected yet, wait until I make an alchemy interface."

Wang Shui continued to operate the black and white lightning to drill into the body of the artificial man, and a large number of light ink and dark red lines emerged. Wang Shui was applying colors at will like a painter.

"Can you...can you cover it up? Get a hospital gown or something?"

"No, I don't have any extra thoughts about your body now, but it will be hard to tell after you put on clothes. Don't interrupt, I'm almost ready."

Ten seconds later, the huge [Gate of Truth] disappeared instantly like a frame, as if it had never appeared before, and an individual with extremely high authority was suddenly connected to the [Sylvia Network].

Wang Shui threw Sylvia's consciousness into the daze, then took out some clothes and threw them on her body. He looked at her with wide innocent eyes and said:

"Put it on, don't catch a cold."

When Shui Wang woke up at night, he only remembered his legs like moonlight and the vague words:
"Go to hell, bastard!"
