Chapter 452 Touring the Place (2)

452 Touring the Place (2)

With flowers in both hands, our group started to tour around the place.

With Ember leading the way, we exited the skyscraper, which was apparently named Debauchery Hotel for some reason, and followed the road straight ahead. The factory was literally at the end of this road, as per Ember's explanation.

Along the way, she also started to explain the few buildings we passed by. Most of these were storage houses to hold raw materials... which were produced by Ember's clone turning gigantic before detaching, creating a pile of such materials at practically zero cost.

"Can we open it to check?"

Curious, I asked while pointing at the nearest one, but Ember chuckled immediately.

"We could, but not that one. It's filled with nitroglycerine, so it could be bad if we open the airtight doors."

"...!"

She's leaving what's technically a lump of bombs in such an open place?! I almost wanted to keep my distance from it right after Ember told me that, but her follow-up quickly made me calm down. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"It won't explode, as I keep the space inside a vacuum. But if the door is opened, then..."

Probably a powerful Kaboom!

Anyway, as expected, Ember wasn't that careless with handling the storage of her raw materials. Right, the nitroglycerine was apparently being used by her to create a substitute for the bullet's propellant, like smokeless gunpowder. Usually, a part of the stored energy is used to fire the bullets, causing a slight loss in power, but using a different, pre-made propellant would preserve its power until the bullet hits.

Due to this, the new bullets she made can be imbued with singular energy without the need for the combination of fire and wind energies to propel them forward.

"But weren't gunpowder-based propellants lacking force when against demons?"

That was the main reason why it was phased out and replaced by completely energy-based bullets. However, Ember simply shook her head, explaining further.

"The ones I make are special, as they react violently when infused with energy. From my experiments, the use of gunpowder increased the bullet's penetration and speed by 30%."

"..."

There were the sensors that Ember and Fatima worked together to create, the locking mechanism, the scope enhancements, and a few more little additions.

The next factory beside it was for creating bullet shells, since the automatic makers that the dwarves made weren't fast enough anymore to cater to the current demand. For the energy, Ember created somewhat of a shortcut, which requires less help from others... She's extracting Fire Energy straight from the sun and imbuing it inside the bullets!

Flames are the most destructive of all energy forms, after all, so they're best when used with bullets. Still, to think she could now harness energy from other objects... Is this the effect of her reaching the God Level?

By the way, her forges were solar-powered too, literally. I hope this doesn't contribute to the sun losing power and dying... Well, it shouldn't have that much effect since it's just a small fraction of the sun's energy.

After touring all the factories, we then reached one with a different structure. Rather than a factory, this one looked like a tight security prison...

"This is my laboratory."

... Or not.

With her permission, we entered her laboratory too, and inside, I became speechless. If the factories outside were something around the Industrial Revolution era, then this laboratory alone came from the future!

Robots, literally, were roaming around and creating bigger robots!

"Are you going to make mecha's too?!"

"... Mecha?"

Ember tilted her head cutely, confused at my sudden outburst.

"These are the next-generation exoskeletons that I would be using for battle. However, they're still far from complete."

Exoskeleton... but fifteen meters tall... That's already a f*cking G*ndam, Ember.
