Without saying a word, Li Yao infused his power into his eyes. His eyesight reached its limit and he carefully observed the workers in the big iron factory.

From such a distance, the workers moving between the blast furnace, pipes and various steel structures are like black and brown ants.

Most of them wrapped themselves tightly in gray cloaks, wearing simple protective masks and eye masks, but their exposed skin was grayish brown and dark black smeared by dust and pollutants. In addition, they were wearing protective earplugs, which made their actions dull and dull. They were really like mechanical reptiles without winding, or a group of dead walking corpses.

Li Yao can understand why wuyoujiao can expand in the area of the big iron works without being found out. No matter whether these workers have practiced "forget your worries", they don't seem to have any emotions and desires, just like metal tired machines!

Most of the workers are working hard in the depth of the mine or inside the factory, which naturally can't be directly detected. However, Li Yao saw rows of workers crawling out from the depth of the mine dragging trucks of raw ore.

Even this kind of work, which is quite simple and can be completely replaced by psionic puppets, is all undertaken by the original miners. The only psionic puppet that Li Yao can see is the overseers all over the commanding heights - the whole iron factory, who mechanically supervise human work and maintain a cold and iron order!

Li Yao even saw that in a corner of the factory area, a cross shaped execution platform was erected. A primitive miner was tied to it, but there was a fighting puppet, holding an electromagnetic whip, pulling hard at the back of the mine with many industrial injuries.

"Pa! Pop! Pop! Bang

Sparks splashed, flesh and blood, the original miner was drawn to death, issued a shrill scream.

Hundreds of primitive miners were forced to watch by fighting puppets. Their mouths and noses were covered by protective masks. They could not see their faces clearly, but from the twitch of their shoulders, they were obviously in extreme fear and anger.

Looking at the bloodstained appearance around the execution platform, it is obvious that people are sent here every three to five to set an example.

Li Yao clenched his fists and murmured, "what crime has this worker committed? Is he going to be beaten like this?"

Long Yangjun said: "he has been whipped more than ten times. He is always a big crime of damaging the mining magic weapon, not a small crime of going to the toilet too long?"

Li Yao was surprised: "what, going to the toilet for too long is a" minor crime ". Do you have to whip?"

"Of course, the immortal cultivators support so many workers and pay a monthly salary. They don't support you to come to the toilet one night."

Long Yangjun said, "according to gender and age, different times are set for going to the toilet. If you don't go back to the work station after five minutes, it's against the rules of the big iron factory. At least you have to whip."

Li Yao was stunned for a long time, then carefully observed the commanding heights and firepower points around the whole iron factory, and continued to ask: "I think the fighting puppets set up by the immortal cultivators here are really quite advanced, much better than Xiao xuance's Taixu soldiers, but why don't we see too many civilian puppets? A lot of simple and repetitive crude benzene work can be done by civilian puppets, right?

"It's strange to say that the overall technical strength of the empire is at least decades ahead of that of the Federation. It's true in terms of military magic weapons and fighting puppets. However, in terms of civil magic weapons, civil puppets and unified spirit net, it seems that there is no advantage. Even in some areas, the Federation is better than others!"

"I don't understand, because there is no demand in this area!"

Long Yangjun whispered, "you Xingyao Federation pay more attention to protecting the rights and interests of ordinary people, which leads to the high cost of employing ordinary people in factories. If you want to reduce the cost, you can only put a lot of new technologies and resources into the research and development of industrial automation and civilian puppets, and replace the original workers with civilian puppets. Only when there is a demand in this respect can there be a big explosion of technology.

"However, the Empire did not have such concerns at all. It could wantonly reduce the use cost of the original person to the limit without considering any welfare, rights and interests or even occupational diseases.

"At the same time, the empire can also use various methods with strong side effects, such as activation of demonization genes or overload use of excipients, to improve the original person's work efficiency and expand the cost advantage.

"In this case, of course, the civilian Puppet Industry of the Empire could not develop. All the new technologies and resources were put into how to drain the original people!

"The same is true for the unification of Lingwang. In fact, no matter the four families or local warlords and world leaders, or even local emperors like Li Minghui, they don't like to connect the whole empire together, because Lingwang means information, and information is inherently equal, dangerous and uncontrollable.

"They prefer to shut themselves up, close the door to seek hegemony, or just put in the information that is beneficial to them and brainwash the original people - in this case, it's strange that the unified spirit net can develop!

"So, it's not that the technical power of the empire is inferior to that of the Federation, but the development direction of each other is different - don't underestimate these fighting puppets in front of you. I once stole one and disassembled it. It's really sophisticated, complicated and advanced!"

"I know."

Li Yao watched as a small group of fighting puppets flogged the original miners, some painted white medical puppets came forward to heal and apply medicine for the victims, and another group of fighting puppets escorted the other miners back to the mine. The whole process was in good order, without any trouble, or even half of the immortal guides nearby.

This means that the control crystal brain of these fighting puppets is advanced to a certain extent, and they can independently make quite complex logical judgments and simulate various situations.

With such a powerful control crystal brain, their combat effectiveness will not be weak.

However, Li Yao still didn't understand, "why didn't you see any immortals around the whole iron works? They were all fighting puppets maintaining order, and Li Minghui wasn't here?"

"As you can see, the environment here is so bad that the immortal practitioners will not stay here all day."

Long Yangjun said, "generally speaking, the management composed of the immortals and the private soldiers of the black iron group will stay in a higher space. 500 meters above the big iron factory, there is a large-scale training ground and rest area, which is the residence of the immortals.

"And Li Ming Hui seldom stays underground. He mainly deals with business in the world of cultivating immortals on the ground. He goes through the back door and deals with business in gangs!

"But these days, the big iron factory is really empty. You have changed the world on the ground, and the underground world has also set off a turbulent wave. Many underground sects and groups originally attached to the Dongfang family have all become bereaved dogs. Li Minghui, with his most capable thugs, takes the opportunity to expand their territory and devour the nearby forces, How else can we make up for the deficit of paying homage to his godfather?

"It's because the underground world is in chaos that worry free sect plans to take advantage of the chaos, calculate the time, and have the last day!"

After observing the distribution of troops and the surrounding environment of the large iron factory, the two men quietly retreated to the depth of the mine, and along the unknown secret crevice, quietly sneaked into the living areas around the large iron factory.

It's a mess of huts and caves. It's the home of the workers. Not only do all the family members of the workers live here, but also there are many providers of clothing, food, transportation, food, drink and play, and occasionally there are merchants who walk through the streets and travel in one piece of underground space after another.

Compared with the depressing, cold and lifeless factory area, although it is like a crazy ant colony and hive, it is more or less full of vitality. People's shrieking voice can even overwhelm the overhead noise.

Long Yangjun told Li Yao that the immortals take a laissez faire and self reliant attitude towards the original people outside the factory area, and rarely go deep into the sewage and stinking shacks in the living area to search and maintain order - mainly because the immortals are not willing to come to such a dirty and oily place with their noses in their hands.

Originally, Li Minghui had thought of using fighting puppets as policemen in the living area to strictly control all the original people. Later, he found that there were too many emergencies in the living area and the environment was too complicated for the fighting puppet's brain to cope with. He wanted to turn the "soldiers" who simply killed and suppressed into "policemen" who had to deal with all kinds of trivial things, We need to update the brain at least two stages.

The price was too high and there was no need for it. Li Ming Hui gave up the idea and only appointed some senior miners who seemed to be self-discipline to act as the managers of the living area. His attitude was very clear - as long as the production efficiency of the factory was not affected and the big trouble was not caused, what the original people's living area would look like was not his concern.

Wu You Jiao's Dharma protector, named "Xu Zhicheng", was originally a well-known model worker in the big iron works. After his two sons left one after another, in order to express their "preferential treatment" to him, the group made him the manager of a community.

Now that Xu Zhicheng has become the great protector of Wuyou education, he naturally has a way to keep the area under his jurisdiction in good order, and become the area with the best public security and the least trouble for the immortals. The workers living in this area are very hardworking and have high production efficiency. In this way, they gradually gain the trust of the senior management of the group, and one living area after another is managed by his way, That is to say, one by one, they turn to worry free education. Up to now, all living areas around them are highly infiltrated and firmly controlled by worry free education. In turn, they surround the big iron factory and the black iron group in the middle!
