Technological advancement begins with devouring.

Babata's progress in repairing the 'Black Dragon Mountain X81 spaceship' is much slower than it promised.

They said the repairs would be completed in three to five months, but the progress was repeatedly delayed, and by the end of the year, there was no sign of a successful repair.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen did not place all his hopes on the universe. Seeing that Babata had failed to repair the spaceship, he simply asked for the 'B6-class laser cannon' on the spaceship.

Among the technical materials that Babata had given Jiang Chen before was technology related to laser cannons. Although the highest level was only C, it was enough for Jiang Chen to understand the structure and design of the 'B6 level laser cannon'.

However, given the materials available on Earth, even with the existing technology, it would still be impossible for Babata to upgrade this laser cannon.

Without materials, even the most advanced technology cannot be utilized.

In terms of alchemy, at least according to Jiang Chen's current understanding, there is no way to increase the power of the laser cannon.

However, Jiang Chen did not come away empty-handed during this time.

The biggest gain was that Jiang Chen's 'war weapon' for dealing with the Golden Horned Beast was finally completed, and after simple testing, it was confirmed to have sufficient combat power.

Although Jiang Chen couldn't be sure whether this giant mech could match the Golden Horned Beast before the actual battle began, he still couldn't be sure.

But this was the most powerful weapon Jiang Chen could muster.

If that doesn't work, then we'll have to rely on Luo Feng.

If Luo Feng can't handle the Golden Horned Beast, then there's no need to worry about protecting Earth. He should quickly board the spaceship, take his loved ones, and flee to Mars, waiting for Babata to repair the 'Black Dragon Mountain x81 spaceship,' buy back powerful slaves from space, and then return to deal with the Golden Horned Beast.

As we move into the year 2060, if the timing of the Golden Horned Beast's emergence hasn't changed too much due to the butterfly effect brought about by Jiang Chen, it should happen within the next few days.

Over the past six months, Jiang Chen has already used his mechanical army to 'clean up' most of the land on Earth.

Except for Australia and some islands in the Pacific, all the monsters on the other continents were wiped out and reclaimed by humans.

Of course, the ocean remains a paradise for monsters.

At the same time, with the system upgrade, Jiang Chen's own strength has also improved significantly.

As before, with the support of free attribute points, his mental power had long since reached the stellar level, but it was still limited by the system level and could not break through.

However, the addition of attributes and new specialties alone brought about a dramatic change in Jiang Chen.

The ability to wipe out the vast majority of monsters on several continents in just over half a year was also inseparable from the help of the [Mass Production Experience] feat.

The corpses of those high-level monsters that died at the hands of the mechanical legion became extremely crucial materials. Combined with the 'ancient civilization relics' that Jiang Chen obtained from the eight major forces, he finally completed his ideal 'super weapon' before the Golden Horned Beast was about to be born.

This is a 100-meter-tall humanoid mecha, entirely black, with intricate patterns branded on its surface.

Numerous weapons are installed throughout the mech's body.

However, the two most important weapons are the 'B6-level laser cannon' located on the left arm of the mech, and a greatsword that is sixty meters long.

The former was the main weapon of the 'Black Dragon Mountain x81 spaceship', which was disassembled and then installed on the mecha by Jiang Chen.

The latter is crafted from the extremely precious C8-grade metal 'Mysterious Iron Mother' and is enhanced with multiple enchantments to improve its hardness, toughness, attack power, and so on.

Jiang Chen used all of the limited 'Mysterious Iron Mother' produced on Mars to forge this greatsword.

If it is hit head-on, the attack effect will be no less than that of the 'B6-level laser cannon'.

"This is the 'ultimate weapon' you designed? It does look quite powerful." Babata appeared in Jiang Chen's base via the network at some point, and looking at the giant mech in the base, he sighed, "With this mech, even a sixth or seventh-order star would probably be no match for you. Even in the universe, such a mech would definitely be worth a fortune."

"The cost was also outrageous." Jiang Chen smiled slightly, changing the subject, and asked, "Did you come here suddenly because the spaceship is repaired? Or is there something wrong with Luo Feng?"

During this time, Jiang Chen had already become quite familiar with Babata.

However, most of the time, Babata was with Luo Feng, and he rarely came to see Jiang Chen unless there was something else going on.

"I'm here to tell you that the spaceship is almost repaired. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be fully repaired in about half a month. Then, we can take you into space." Babata stated his purpose directly: "Earth is just a small place. Luo Feng... and your talents, can only be truly realized in space."

"The universe..."

Jiang Chen glanced at the time and nodded, saying, "Let's talk about it after you've fixed it."

"Your mecha could be studied more thoroughly. If it can be mass-produced, it might bring you a considerable amount of start-up capital," Babata said meaningfully.

Initially, Babata was very opposed to Jiang Chen focusing on scientific research.

But after the giant mech was created, Babata never mentioned it again.

Regardless of whether studying technology is a waste of time, Jiang Chen's level-up speed has not slowed down; on the contrary, it is much faster than Luo Feng's.

Moreover, as technology develops to a certain level, its ability to make money becomes very strong.

Babata is well aware of the importance of money in the universe.

Just as it was about to say something more, a piercing alarm sounded, and Jarvis suddenly appeared, urgently saying to Jiang Chen, "Master, a super monster has appeared in the ocean and launched an attack on a war base of the United States!"
