Magic? My Iron Torrent will sweep it all away!

Chapter 421 The Dao Hearts of All Races Shattered, Mahjong Makes its Debut!

Everyone went back to their rooms and slept until noon.

After lunch, Lin Mo and Liu Youwan, along with their energetic delegation, began a thorough tour of Tian Shu City.

First stop: the animal breeding area.

After everyone walked through a disinfection tunnel, the space suddenly opened up before them.

Rows of metal railings stood neatly in place, and the ground was so clean that one could see their reflection in it.

There was a slight smell of livestock in the air, along with a faint scent of hay.

The automatic feeder delivers feed into the troughs, where plump cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and other animals leisurely chew.

"Are these... all farmed for consumption?"

Grom, the centaur, looked at the livestock and swallowed hard.

"right."

Liu Youwan nodded and began to introduce:

"This is breeding area number three, which is dedicated to supplying various kinds of meat."

"We use scientifically formulated feed, control temperature and humidity, and strictly implement disease prevention measures to ensure that every piece of meat is safe and highly productive."

"To ensure their health, we also play music every day."

The orcs' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

In Terra, raising livestock depends entirely on whether the heavens will grant them food; even working yourself to the bone doesn't guarantee a harvest.

They never imagined that livestock could be "produced" like this on an assembly line.

Are you still doing so well?

The orcs suddenly felt envious. If they could, they would also like to be locked up inside and live a carefree life, eating and waiting to die.

The second stop was the vegetable and fruit growing area.

There is no soil here, only rows of tall white frames.

On the shelves, the lush green vegetables and bright red fruits, bathed in artificial sunlight, looked so delicious they made your mouth water.

Elder Muyu stretched out his thin, dry hand and gently touched a lettuce leaf.

It was as if one could feel the life force emanating from his fingertips.

"Incredible..."

He murmured softly.

"Without earth, without the sun, these plants... can grow so well."

Liu Youwan smiled.

"We simulated everything a plant needs: light, water, nutrients, and maximized efficiency."

"Because there is no night, the vegetables here only have a one-quarter growth cycle compared to those above ground."

The elves looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

The final stop: the Central Water Cycle and Energy Supply Zone.

As soon as I entered, a wave of heat carrying the smell of engine oil hit my face.

Before me stretched a dense network of enormous pipes, like a spiderweb, and slowly rotating turbines.

In the distance lies the reactor core, encased in thick lead plates and alloys.

The roar of the machines made people's ears ring.

This is the heart of the entire underground city.

Kyle and his friends felt as small as ants, struggling to breathe.

They could feel the terrifying energy in the air, but they didn't understand what it was, yet they felt a sense of awe.

Is this really something that can be created by human power?

Just then, Thorin Steelbeard suddenly stopped, jumped up, and knocked on the pipe, the dull metallic sound carrying far.

"How did you manage to achieve this welding technique... this metal strength, and this massive system?!"

Thorin's voice was trembling.

Lin Mo asked curiously:

"Elder Thorin, what have you discovered?"

Thorin whirled around, pointed to the pipes at his feet and around him, and shouted:

"Dungeons! We dwarves have them too!"

"Our mountain city is built on an underground river, powered by the heat of the magma from the earth's veins to drive the forges, and sustained by magic arrays and energy crystals!"

"We've been proud of this for countless years!"

"But you...you didn't have an underground river, so you built your own steel underground river!"

"You didn't have lava, so you created a sun hotter than a volcano!"

"The most terrifying thing is," Thorin's voice held a hint of despair.

"The structure of this entire city is so rational and so beautiful!"

"We dwarves would probably never come up with such a perfect design in our entire lives!"

At this moment, the entire visitor area was quiet except for the hum of the machines.

Thorin's words left the Terrans with very mixed feelings.

The most magical and powerful magic on the continent of Terra seems to be completely crushed in the face of the incredible technology of Great Xia.

The power of the Great Xia Dynasty, from its weapons to its lifestyle, entertainment, and even its survival, far surpasses that of magic.

Even the dwarves, who are most skilled at surviving underground, were defeated.

Terra is not as good as the Great Xia people.

This result left them feeling extremely bitter.

.......

The tour has ended.

The atmosphere at the banquet was unusually subdued.

The table was laden with a dazzling array of delicious dishes, their aroma filling the air.

The whole roasted lamb sizzles with oil, the seafood sashimi is refreshingly cool, and the rich aroma of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall can be smelled for miles.

But the people of Terra were not interested at all.

A large steak sat in front of Thorin Steelbeard, and he unconsciously poked at it with his fork, bit by bit.

He grabbed his glass and took a big gulp of beer.

"Pooh."

He spat the wine back into the glass, his face full of disgust.

"Why does it smell like horse urine?"

Grom, sitting next to Thorin, was taken aback, then glanced at Thorin speechlessly.

Kyle held a wine glass, the red wine inside swirling around, his eyes fixed on it, but he seemed lost in thought.

The cat-eared girl Annie suffered the most, lying face down on the table with her two furry ears drooping, completely still.

Inside the restaurant, the only sound was the screeching of forks scraping against plates.

Everything we saw in the afternoon felt like a heavy stone weighing on everyone's hearts.

A city of steel, an artificial sun, automated livestock and vegetable production lines, and an energy reactor core more terrifying than a volcano...

The dwarves' proudest underground construction technology is no different from children's mud in the eyes of others.

The natural magic of elves doesn't seem to be much of a threat to them.

The magic that mages study their whole lives seems so insignificant in front of others.

Their most formidable assets—strength, skill, and magic—were all utterly crushed.

I feel so choked up inside, but I can't put my finger on it.

Lin Mo saw all of this and sighed inwardly.

It seems... the blow was a bit too harsh.

He put down his chopsticks, nudged Liu Youwan beside him, and gestured for a solution.

Liu Youwan thought for a moment, then leaned closer and said in a low voice:

"Commander Lin, this atmosphere... how about we try that?"

"Which one?"

Mahjong.

Commander Lin led them on a crazy adventure, which seemed unreliable, but it actually worked quite well.

This thing... might be able to give them a fresh perspective.

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he gave Liu Youwan a thumbs up.

"It has to be you again!"

Liu Youwan: "???"

No, what do you mean by that?

Why do you make me seem like I'm even less proper than you?

Lin Mo cleared his throat, stood up, and clapped his hands.

"Slap! Slap!"

The crisp sound drew everyone's attention.

"Everyone, after we finish eating, I'll introduce you to something fun."

"This thing is a national treasure that has been passed down in our Great Xia for thousands of years."
