Chapter 658: Years, Reborn
Chapter 658: Ten Years, Complete Transformation
Less than ten days after the army set out, the infrastructure work at the Guimenguan base camp was basically completed, and Huang Feihu's anxiety was greatly relieved.
An information center was built in the center of the camp.
In the dispatching hall of the information center, there is a huge screen in the center, and the surrounding walls are also densely covered with countless small and medium-sized display screens.
Wen Rui sat in front of the operating table in the center of the information center hall, leaning back on an ergonomic chair in a tactical reclining position, with his feet on the table, his eyes half closed as if he was half asleep, and he looked extremely relaxed.
Huang Feihu also had his own exclusive control console. Unlike Wen Rui who was relaxed, the Emperor of Dongyue had his eyes wide open like bells. He kept browsing the images playing on countless screens, trying his best to understand how this battlefield detection system worked and absorbing the real-time information that was constantly sent back.
Each Ruyi Immortal Soldier is a battlefield recorder, which transmits live images to the base camp at all times through quantum communication encryption transmission. Through AI, big data is sorted out to screen out important content with reference value, and broadcast it in real time in the information center hall.
Even after filtering and screening, the amount of information was still too much for Huang Feihu, an old general who had not been baptized by the information society.
Five hundred years ago, when he was the commander-in-chief, the typical scene of information transmission on the battlefield was that a messenger with an arrow in his body rushed into the tent panting, shouting with all his might: "Something bad has happened!", and then fell to the ground and fainted, leaving the confused generals kneeling and begging him to finish his words before dying.
Later, the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect joined the battle, and the situation seemed to have improved, but in fact the typical scene was that a fallen messenger was pulled up by the immortals with a healing spell, or the immortals used soul-searching magic to make the dead speak.
Each effective information transmission only has a few dozen bytes of information...
The participation of the immortals at best solved the lag problem, but did not improve the transmission efficiency much.
Now, the amount of information transmitted per second far exceeds the millions of TB per second of 5G networks. This step is so big that Huang Feihu cannot accept it in the short term and needs to adjust his cognitive impairment to adapt.
"Today I am fortunate to fight side by side with Wen Zi, the great strategic master of the time. Only then did I realize how high I am looking up to him and get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg of his military prowess."
Huang Feihu rubbed his blurred vision and said to Wen Rui who was standing beside him with a calm expression, "The Wenzi Art of War says: 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger.' He knows every soldier's subtle movements and can check their physical conditions at any time. He is thousands of miles away, but he knows more than being on the battlefield in person. He has achieved the ultimate in 'knowing yourself'."
His eyes fell on the real-time report scrolling on the main screen, which clearly recorded the coalition intelligence analyzed and sorted by AI.
Including each soldier's medicine reserve, the fullness of the immortal spirit, the stability of morale, the concentration of evil spirit and demonic spirit in the surrounding environment, the marching speed, the soldier's physical strength, the degree of equipment wear...
The interface is similar to the UI of the game "Three Realms Battle", but it is far more refined and specific than the game, and more in line with actual combat needs.
"I am not worthy of the title of 'Wen Zi'. My strategic and tactical thinking is only a few thousand years ahead of the times. For gods like me, a few thousand years is just a blink of an eye."
Wen Rui said in a fake manner: "They are all technically advanced, and the core ideas are still derived from the great wisdom of Master Tongtian. I am just copying his ideas."
"Thinking back carefully, it was a miracle that the Zhou army was able to defeat King Zhou..."
Huang Feihu was still in shock and murmured, "I knew very little at the beginning. I only thought that your tactics were cunning and difficult to defend against. Now that I've gained more experience, I understand the reason. The military orders are conveyed to such an extent, and the command of thousands of troops is meticulous down to every soldier. Fighting against such an army, won't we be restricted everywhere and fall into the trap inexplicably like a fly with its head covered." Wen Rui felt embarrassed. Five hundred years ago, he didn't have such a capability. At best, every centurion had a radio on his back.
Of course, the army equipped with only radio stations was more organized than the Zhou army.
Even if the Zhou army had the help of the immortals of the Chan sect and could use sound transmission spells and communication talismans to quickly transmit messages, they could not achieve the level of one radio for every hundred people.
The jump transport ships at the logistics base provided medicinal pill supplies based on the information transmitted back. With efficient logistics supply and almost no redundancy or waste, the coalition forces' marching efficiency was extremely high, and they quickly passed through multiple layers of boundaries and went straight down to the Nine Netherworlds.
Along the way, they did encounter small groups of ghosts and demon settlements from the underworld. Facing the coalition forces that were armed to the teeth and had extremely strong military power, these stragglers collapsed at the first touch and swept through the entire route.
After more than a month of marching, the coalition forces finally arrived at the border of hell, only a thousand miles away from the Netherworld Blood Sea.
The heavenly soldiers and generals began to issue tasks from their Ruyi Jade Tablets, instructing the soldiers to set up camp using local materials.
In addition to being able to transform into various weapons, the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers can also construct various tools. The high degree of intelligence enables these tools to provide fool-proof instruction and building block-style camp construction designs.
The heavenly soldiers and generals had already effectively run-in with Ruyi Tools in the mining work in the Sex Realm in the past decade. Every soldier is a skilled engineer who has undergone long-term training. They only need to complete the task step by step according to the system prompts.
Building camps was also one of the duties of the marching Sima. Before Wen Rui arrived at the scene, he efficiently organized the soldiers to start work through remote control. In just three days, a solid and huge garrison fortress was built.
This fortress is well-equipped and has first-rate defenses. Various defensive formations were deployed as soon as the main building was completed. Even if a million demon troops suddenly arrive, the fortress can be relied upon to hold its ground.
Huang Tianhua had also seen the world. Back when he was in Luosha Country, he was already familiar with Wen Rui's ability in infrastructure construction. Whether it was efficient supply or building a city in three days, he was accustomed to it.
If Wen Rui, as the military commander, cannot do this, that would be very strange. Huang Tianhua would immediately suspect that Wen Rui is trying to trip him up.
The Western Buddhist monks' army did not join forces with the Heavenly Army. The Heavenly Army here had all moved into a luxurious house, and they had not yet finished setting up their tents.
Fortunately, most of the monks of the Western religion were ascetics who could meditate and rest by sitting cross-legged in the wild. The progress of building the camp was slow, but it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the army.
The three great bodhisattvas and the three commanders of the monk army were also subjected to a considerable cultural shock when they saw the heavenly army building high buildings.
"Venerable Guanyin, Wen Rui has been the temporary commander of the Heavenly Army for only about ten years, right?"
The commander of the monk army, Wei Tuo, looked at the towering fortress buildings and said, "In just ten years, the heavenly soldiers and generals have been completely transformed. Just look at how they cooperated in setting up camp, obeyed orders, and made arrangements. For such a complex fortress construction work, every soldier knew what he should do. It was simple and efficient. Such an army would definitely be a strong army on the battlefield."
"Ten years ago, all they knew was to stand in formation and fight when the wind was favorable!"
