Hearing Zongze say that the gods wouldn't blame them, everyone quickly slung the bows and arrows over their shoulders. Seriously, since the bows and arrows were given to Zongze by the gods in a dream, they were divine artifacts! No wonder they were so powerful; how could such a divine weapon be used for evil?

All the generals, including Zong Kuang, had one thought in mind: to create a high-end treasure room in their family, and then properly enshrine this artifact as a family heirloom to be passed down from generation to generation!

Along the way, Zongze gave everyone a detailed introduction to the bow. The reason why this bow is so powerful is mainly because it is made entirely of steel, and the two sides of the bow are made into the shape of springs, so its range and power exceed those of other bows and arrows!

As for why this bow can be drawn to its full extent so easily and is so stable, the key lies in the four pulleys on both sides of the bend. To put it bluntly, Munenori essentially made a pulley bow, which is the modern version of the bow on Earth.

When the group arrived at the ironworks of Zongze Shenji Camp, they discovered nearly 5000 shirtless soldiers inside. Their roles were clearly defined; most were riding bicycles similar to those on hot air balloons, and strangely, the blowers connecting the bicycles were...

Thin tubes extended from those blowers, connecting to a large, bright silver container!

Upon closer inspection, the generals couldn't help but marvel at the incredible power of the deity. They saw some soldiers first throw piles of iron into the gleaming silver container, then ignite the oil beneath it. Afterward, the soldiers pedaling bicycles began to pedal vigorously!

As the blower operated, everyone noticed that strong, fine air was blowing out from the place where the blower was connected inside the container. After being blown by the air, the flames in the kerosene turned into blue-white flames!

The most terrifying thing was that the iron blocks in those containers began to melt at a visible speed in the blue and white flames, eventually turning into pools of molten iron with scorching heat!

At this point, people discovered some holes on the lower outer edge of the bright silver container, some large and some small. Molten iron slowly flowed from the container into molds made of the same bright silver material as the larger container.

Once all the molds were filled with molten iron, the large container was empty. At this point, soldiers covered the molds filled with molten iron with the other half of the molds, while other soldiers took turns pouring water onto the molds.

Once the mold had cooled completely, the soldiers opened it, and everyone discovered that the body of an iron bow was complete. With just a little polishing and the addition of the pulley and bowstring, a peerless bow comparable to a divine weapon would be produced!

The manufacturing process of the bowstring is even simpler. Below the smallest hole in the large container, there is a large basin filled with ice water. When the molten iron flows out of the hole, it is as thin as a hair. When it falls into the basin and is stimulated by the cold water, it directly turns into an iron wire!

While everyone was praising the gods, Zong Ze was secretly enjoying himself! He believed that no one on the Holy Word Continent could replicate this craftsmanship. Even if they had the ability to melt iron, they wouldn't have an object capable of holding it!

This can be considered Zongze's method of preventing counterfeits! Back on Earth, he had spent some time studying the principles of ironware. The container holding the molten iron wasn't anything else; in fact, it was pure iron that Zongze had refined himself!

Pure iron has a melting point of over 1500 degrees Celsius, while the melting point of ordinary pig iron is only 1200 degrees Celsius! Moreover, pure iron is very soft and can be easily molded into various molds.

Using the wind power of a bicycle, the temperature of ordinary kerosene can be raised to 1200 degrees Celsius, which is enough to smelt pig iron, but it is impossible to reach 1500 degrees Celsius!

Zong Ze, after trying every possible method, even forced Xiao Hei to exhaust his magic power to force out a bit of Samadhi True Fire before he could secretly smelt some pure iron and forge it into molds!

In fact, there weren't many molds. Apart from an enormous crossbow for city defense, the rest were molds for pulley bows and arrows. The sect didn't make any molds for weapons like swords!

Even if swords are made using molds, they still require craftsmen to repeatedly hammer and sharpen them, which is time-consuming and laborious. It is better to use the swords that are native to this continent!

Therefore, even if someone wanted to imitate their own ironware workshop, it would be impossible to produce pure iron that could withstand the high temperature of molten iron!

After visiting the ironworks, Zongze led everyone to visit other parts of the Shenji Camp. What impressed the generals the most and amazed them the most was the training ground that Zongze had built!

Ordinary military training grounds are nothing more than training in formations, combat, physical fitness, and so on! But Zong Ze directly transplanted the training grounds of modern special forces on Earth to the Shenji Camp!

The 400-meter obstacle course was changed to a 1000-meter obstacle course by Zong Ze. There was also unprotected climbing and rock climbing, cover and concealment techniques, and even a huge pond where soldiers practiced swimming, diving, and holding their breath! All these training exercises made everyone praise the gods in their hearts again and again!

Moreover, in the former ideological and political education classroom of the Shenji Battalion, everyone saw a familiar old man. It was the Empire's old Chancellor, Flot, who was currently explaining something to hundreds of soldiers!

Upon seeing old Flot, Zong Kuang quickly went up to greet him, but the usually casual old prime minister bowed deeply to Zong Kuang: "Respected general, please address me by my full name, Tro Flot!"

Later, everyone learned that old Flot had actually been invited by Zong Ze to teach these warriors, and the content of his lecture was actually about noble etiquette and manners!

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Zong Ze had no choice but to explain the characteristics of special forces, and then tell them that the Divine Machine Battalion would not only be the only air force on the continent, but would also become the only special forces unit on the continent! Of course, Zong Ze still attributed all of this to the omnipotent gods!

Before leaving, everyone visited the only remaining giant crossbow on the city wall. Looking at the two-meter-tall, five-meter-diameter crossbow, and listening to Zong Ze explain its incredible range and firepower, everyone shared the same thought: "Whoever tries to attack the Divine Machine Camp is absolutely courting death!"

At this moment, a captain accompanying them on the city wall seized the opportunity to say something that no one could ever understand: "Our general has come up with a lot of strange names for this city wall, such as 360, Rising, Kingsoft, etc., they are all weird names!"

"So, what did you finally give this city wall?" Zong Kuang asked curiously.

"Oh! Finally, when someone said that this city wall was a protective wall that could never be breached, the general seemed to have thought of something and named the wall—Kaspersky!"
