Lord: I have built a witch's sanctuary.

Chapter 150 The New Era

Chapter 149 The New Era

Ohm blinked, his gaze following Lorraine's as he looked at the Universal Mechanical Repair Factory.

"Build? Using a forge?"

"Hmm." Lorraine pointed to the Universal Mechanical Repair Factory. "After Messiah awakens, with the Twin Machine Soul talent boost, the two of you standing together are equivalent to a 5.

A fifth-tier witch.

He brought up the panel of the Witch's Codex and glanced at the data on it.

"Therefore, the repair shop has automatically been upgraded to level five."

Ohm's eyes lit up: "Fifth tier?!"

Messiah's reaction wasn't as outward as her sister's, but her silver pupils contracted slightly, clearly indicating that she was also moved by the information.

Lorraine mentally reviewed the key data on the secret manual panel and relayed it to the two of them.

"After the upgrade, the workshop's production capacity will increase significantly. The time required to manufacture a Tier 4 Warhound-class Titan will be reduced by nearly half, and the Tier 5 Knight-class Titan sequence has also been unlocked."

Ohm was so happy he almost jumped for joy, "Wouldn't that be one?"

"Wait, there's another new feature," Lorraine interrupted her. "The Tier 5 construction plant has unlocked the ability to build branch plants."

"A branch factory?" Messiah asked.

My voice is still a bit hoarse; my vocal cords, which have just recovered, need time to adjust.

"Branch factories can be built outside the territory, with a limit on the number of witches of the corresponding rank that can be built. Branch factories and main factories share the technical data of the production line and can manufacture mechanical creations simultaneously, but due to limitations in scale and energy supply, branch factories can only build machines that are two ranks lower than the main factory."

Lorraine held up two fingers.

"In other words, a branch factory of a Tier 5 main factory can only produce Tier 3 items at most. Although it cannot compare to the main factory, it has the advantage of being able to expand in quantity. If the territory expands in the future, the branch factories can be deployed to the outer strongholds to produce mechs and engineering puppets locally, so that everything does not have to be transported out of Frostwolf City."

Ohm nodded repeatedly, gesturing with his hands in front of him, as if he was already planning the location of the branch factory in his mind.

Messiah stood aside, remaining silent throughout.

Her gaze remained fixed on the exterior wall of the all-purpose mechanical repair shop; the dense network of pipe connections and exhaust valves appeared to her to be more than just mechanical parts.

Suddenly, she spoke.

"What exactly is the core function of this repair shop?"

Lorraine glanced at Messiah.

Yes, although Messiah had regained consciousness and had remotely observed many of Lorraine's actions through the Tower of Babel's monitoring system, she was not like Ohm who had participated in the construction of the territory from the very beginning.

She only saw a general outline of many things through the screen and didn't know the details.

"The core function of the Omnipotent Mechanical Repair Factory," Lorraine said calmly, as if stating a perfectly common sense statement, "is to construct all mechanical creations that are at or below the level of a witch."

Messiah's brow twitched slightly.

"Any mechanical creation?"

“Anything.” Lorraine nodded. “As long as there are enough materials and energy, everything from the most basic engineering golems and mechs to high-level Titan mechs can be manufactured in this factory.”

He paused for a moment, then added a sentence.

"The three Tier 4 Warhound-class Titans used in the previous city defense battle came from this construction plant."

Messiah's body stiffened slightly for a moment.

Of course she knew about those three Titans.

Through the Tower of Babel's monitoring system, she watched as the three steel behemoths emerged from the gates of Frostwolf City, step by step, onto the snowfield outside the city walls, tearing a bloody path through the onslaught of the demon army.

Tier 4 Titan mech.

In her memory, such a thing was a product that should not exist in this era.

"Wait a minute." Messiah's voice suddenly tightened, his silver eyes fixed on Lorraine. "You're saying that fourth-tier Titans were created in this fortification?"

"right."

"Just this one?" Messiah's gaze swept over the less than half-acre site of the Universal Mechanical Repair Factory, his tone barely concealing his surging emotions. "That's all?"

Lorraine tilted her head. "What's wrong?"

The Messiah did not answer immediately.

She walked slowly to the outer wall of the repair shop, raised her hand, and her fingertips touched the cold metal surface.

I felt a slight vibration in my fingertip; it was the low-frequency pulsation of the production line inside the factory when it was in standby mode.

"Do you know what it takes to build a Titan during the Golden Age?"

Messiah did not turn around; his voice was filled with a complex emotion that was almost indistinguishable between shock and disorientation.

"We need a heavy industrial complex covering hundreds of acres. At least thirty-six independent precision machining production lines must operate simultaneously. The smelting workshop, casting workshop, magic pattern engraving workshop, and power core assembly workshop—every link must be flawless."

Ohm stood quietly to the side without interrupting.

She could tell that her sister wasn't showing off her knowledge, but rather processing some kind of intense shock.

Messiah withdrew his finger from the wall and turned to look at Lorraine.

"The entire second level of the Tower of Babel—the Titan Forge—covers an area of ​​over two thousand acres. It was a heavy industrial zone personally supervised by the Emperor, bringing together the most advanced technologies of the Golden Age."

Her voice lowered, but she spoke faster.

"Thus, even with the Titan Forge operating at full capacity, the production cycle for a Tier 4 Titan takes..."

"How long?" Lorraine asked.

"Six months."

In the Messiah's silver pupils, the shock had overshadowed all other emotions.

"A complete industrial system, with thousands of magic rune masters and alchemists working together in shifts day and night for six months."

She took a deep breath.

"And you—"

My gaze fell once again on that gray-white factory building, which was less than half an acre in size.

"You did it with a small factory that occupies less than half an acre?"

The repair shop's chimneys continued to emit pale blue steam, quietly, as if they were unresponsive to these words.

Ohm couldn't help but lean closer, tug at his sister's sleeve, and whisper, "Sister, there are so many amazing things your big brother hasn't seen yet. The All-Powerful Mechanical Repair Factory is just one of them. Wait till you see the Magic Farm, the Time Altar, and the Weather Controller!"

Messiah waved his hand, signaling his sister to stop talking.

She looked at Lorraine and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Is this the power of the witch? Is this the new power that humanity gained after the end of the Golden Age?"

Lorraine smiled faintly.

"Times have changed."

Four words, light and airy.

Messiah, however, sensed the weight behind that calm demeanor.

The glory of the Golden Age has turned to ashes. The emperor is nailed to his throne and cannot move. Ninth-tier powerhouses have betrayed and fallen. Human civilization has plummeted from its peak to its lowest point.

But the young man standing before her used a system completely different from that of the Golden Age to rebuild a tower on the ruins.

A complete industrial system is not required.

It doesn't require thousands of rune masters.

Half an acre of land, a factory, and a witch.

Times have indeed changed.

Messiah's lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to smile, but the smile was too faint and vanished before it could take shape.

Lorraine didn't dwell on the topic for long.

He brought up the Secret Manual panel again and flipped to the new production catalog of the upgraded Universal Mechanical Repair Factory.

Previously, when the repair shop was at Tier 4, it could produce Tier 4 Warhound-class Titans at its highest level.

Now it has been upgraded to rank 5—

At the very top of the table of contents, a line of gold text stands out prominently.

[Tier 5 - Knight-level Titan]

Lorraine's gaze lingered on that line of text for two seconds.
