Machine War: Infinite Frontier.

Although the front line is still fighting, the war is limited to one planet and is completely under control compared to the entire federation and human territory. No matter how many casualties there are among the grassroots soldiers on the front line, the thing this world has the most is population. Although the war on the front line can bring some tense atmosphere, it cannot affect some ideas of relaxation. The only thing that can worry the top leaders is that the situation is getting out of control.

As long as it can be controlled, there is nothing to be afraid of even if we stare at the Alliance Star and fight for ten or eight years. Moreover, such a war will not bring all bad things. Besides, the current actual situation is in front of us, even if we want to end everything quickly, it is indeed impossible to do so.

In Chimera City of Desire, Xiao Yun once again held a grand cocktail party, inviting many middle and high-level officials of the Federal Army and assistants left behind by TMC, such as General Johnson. More than two thousand people received invitations, and the entire cocktail party was of extremely high standards, and was extremely erotic, direct, and without any disguise. No matter whether it was male or female attendants, or the service staff interspersed in the cocktail party, each one of them had been carefully dressed up.

Many people couldn't wait to leave before the cocktail party was over, and the whole scene was filled with laughter and all kinds of ambiguous sounds that made people's blood boil.

Xiao Yun really felt like a fish in water at such a cocktail party. He made the senior officials of the federal army feel at home and also arranged all the subsequent activities.

It was not until he had some free time that General Johnson found an opportunity to pull Xiao Yun aside and talk to him alone.

Johnson smiled and clinked his glass with Xiao Yun's. "Where on earth did you trick so many beautiful women and handsome men here? I think those generals are very satisfied. If they weren't afraid of gossip, they would have left with their people now."

Xiao Yun laughed: "The universe is so big, and the City of Desire is now the only big black market in the border universe. There are a lot of everything. Beautiful women and handsome men are the least valuable things. Besides, Shuguang is now facing a critical period for further progress. It is worth it to have such an opportunity to establish a relationship with the federal army."

Johnson was also very satisfied with Xiao Yun's arrangement today: "Well done, as long as we can satisfy these people in the Federation this time, Shuguang will definitely get countless orders in the future. It's not in vain that I have helped you to build so many relationships."

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "I have already prepared General Johnson's portion."

As he spoke, Xiao Yun quietly slipped a room card to Johnson, who took it and put it in his pocket, narrowing his eyes and smiling lewdly, "Mine won't be worse than theirs, right?"

Xiao Yun gave Johnson an ambiguous look: "Today I promise to let you know what the ultimate enjoyment is."

Johnson's chest beat twice. Even Xiao Yun, a big player, said it was the ultimate enjoyment. Johnson, at his age, suddenly felt a little bit unable to hold back. He took a sip of wine to suppress his excitement and said slowly: "Thank you very much."

Xiao Yun asked again: "What is the current situation on the Alliance Star?"

"It's still the same." Johnson shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the support of the space army, the ground forces would have been wiped out long ago. The high-end combat power of the aliens is stronger than our knights. Fortunately, you, the Shuguang, and the several new machines developed by Kona Industries over there can serve as the backbone to suppress the endless insect nests."

"Can we get a sample?" Xiao Yun lowered his voice and said, "We want to study the weapons of the alien race."

Johnson looked around and lowered his voice: "Now even we TMC don't have those things."

Xiao Yun: "???"

Johnson lowered his voice and said, "Those aliens are always self-destructing. We finally managed to capture prisoners, but all of them fell into the hands of the federal army. Even if we want to get samples that can be studied, we have to wait for the federal side to study them first. However, if this situation continues, our TMC and the Freedom Alliance should be able to capture some aliens for research. But now we have to give priority to the federal side. Don't worry. If the control in this area is relaxed in the future, I will not forget you, Shuguang."

"Yeah." Xiao Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't forget us when the time comes."

"Nothing." Johnson waved his hand and looked around again: "There is a new piece of news that will definitely interest you."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Johnson moved his lips and said, "The Federation is preparing to relax the control over the training of knights, but it is just a loosening of the belt. If this matter is really implemented, it is hard to say whether it is good or bad. You should also prepare early. When the time comes, you'd better find a way to get a place."

"Thank you." Xiao Yun raised his glass to Johnson solemnly: "I'd like to trouble General Johnson for your help."

Johnson smiled and nodded: "We are on the same line. If I don't help you, who else can I help? Don't worry, with the relationship you have with everyone now, as long as you maintain this relationship and become friends, you will most likely get a spot."

Xiao Yun paused for a moment and said, "Then I have to prepare some gifts. I am planning to leave the border."

"Go back home?" Johnson looked at Xiao Yun and said, "Okay, it will probably be determined in the next year or so. Come back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

After the cocktail party, Xiao Yun returned to Shuguang Industry immediately. When Johnson saw what Xiao Yun had prepared for him, he showed a satisfied expression. He really enjoyed the evening to the fullest.

After Xiao Yun returned to Dawn Industries, he called Cruze, Gina and Mathias over and told them what Johnson had told him.

The three of them understood what he meant. Mathias said, "It seems that the battle on the front line is not as easy as it appears. Perhaps the top leaders of the Federation have already realized the nature of the meat grinder of the Alliance Star and are preparing to train knights on a larger scale to train more powerful high-level knights to face the threat of the alien race. Maybe they are also preparing for a counterattack against the alien race in advance."

Cruze nodded. "It's still the essence of casting a wide net. However, the Federation here is really particular about what it does. It seems that they don't mind leaving some minor things for everyone to share. This quota should be the quota for the knight strengthening potion. Moreover, the only possibility of loosening the control now is that the Federation has achieved phased results in the research on aliens. If things go well, they can train and transform them into more powerful knights."

Xiao Yun opened a projection screen and it appeared in front of everyone: "Now we have made great progress and breakthroughs in our research on the alien race. So far, although we have not yet reached the level of the alien race, we have confirmed that the alien race's armor is a combination of positive and negative matter. It uses antimatter as energy, but its self-replenishment efficiency is very low."

"The full-power combat time is also limited to no more than six hours. Once the energy is exhausted, the armor will automatically disarm and lose its combat capability. But relatively speaking, this is already a very terrifying effective combat time. After all, it is such a small armor. According to Iolia's speculation, under certain circumstances, these armors will be continuously charged."

Mathias nodded and added, "It should be the special environment that has been transformed on the Alliance Star. Those insects and alien plants should be able to absorb free energy or antimatter energy to continuously replenish these alien armors. That's why the aliens are so determined to make major changes to the environment of the entire Alliance Star."

Cruze smiled faintly: "They are really a cautious race who take every step steadily. They have the opportunity to break through the universe but still choose to stay on the planet."

Xiao Yun pointed at the screen and said, "The armor also has the ability to self-repair and can be enhanced to a certain extent as the user grows. However, the upper limit is not too high. The difference between levels should only appear after secondary or multiple enhancements. The principle and method are still unclear. After all, it is a technological route that is completely different from our existing technology. So far, our research has not made a complete breakthrough in the theoretical part, but we have also developed a new type of portable armor type II based on the alien armor."

The scene changed and a second type of portable armor illustration appeared in front of them.

The Type 2 body armor has undergone a radical change from the original body armor. The previous one was like an exoskeleton robot, but the Type 2 looks like a real steel knight, real steel armor, with a backpack and shoulder armor. As long as the situation allows, a lot of effort can be put into the appearance design.

"It is four meters tall, and is also an exoskeleton. It has the latest electronic muscle bundles developed inside and is based on the body structure of aliens. However, it is equipped with as many weapons as possible, but due to the size of the armor, it cannot carry too many weapons. In the test, its combat capability has exceeded that of a normal mass-produced MS."

Cruze asked with great interest: "Will this thing become a main weapon of war in the future?"

"Impossible." Gina shook his head and said, "The same technology can be used on normal MS with efficiency and power at least several times greater. This kind of thing is definitely useful, but it is not that useful to us. I'm afraid the only ones who can really use this are the knights."

Xiao Yun nodded: "Yes, this is a machine built for people like knights. Ordinary people can't use it at all. The Type 1 portable armor is also being improved. It will be an exoskeleton armor that ordinary people can use. After mass production, it can also greatly enhance the combat capabilities of land soldiers. This also leads to a problem. The combat uniforms used by knights must also keep up with the pace. This is basically a new military competition."

Mathias suddenly understood: "So the reason why the Federation opened the door is because ordinary people can't use this thing and are preparing in advance?"

"And this also proves one thing." Cruze smiled and said, "Even the Federation can't produce unlimited amounts of strengthening potions that the Knights need, so the main force in the future will still be mass-produced machines. We just want to compete with the aliens in terms of high-end power, but this limitation is not that big for us."

Xiao Yun nodded: "A pseudo-reformer."

Cruze suddenly asked: "Who is the tester?"

"Suzaku and Mingye." Xiao Yun changed the screen again and called up the test records. He said, "It's a bit outrageous. Suzaku's physical fitness is even more terrible than that of a knight. However, Mingye's test results are at the most extreme level of a natural person."

Cruze smiled after reading the records: "This little guy's potential is really terrifying. It makes people doubt whether he is a human being. It is hard to imagine what he will become after using the strengthening potion."

Even Xiao Yun couldn't match Zhuque's physical strength now. If the two of them fought alone without wearing equipment, they wouldn't even be able to touch the corner of Zhuque's clothes. It was really a bit outrageous. Who would believe this kid if he said he wasn't a knight? But he really wasn't.

Xiao Yun stood up and rubbed his face. "It's almost done. I plan to open the passage to the new world tomorrow. We already have an advantage, but suddenly aliens appear. Our advantage seems to be nothing. Let's see if we can open a new world and get something particularly useful. I have been too relaxed during this period."

There has indeed not been that much pressure during this period after the gate of the Alliance Star was destroyed. As long as we stop pursuing more gates, there will actually be no necessary conflicts with the local forces of World 0. Instead, alien races should be the main target of defense.

After being idle for so long, Xiao Yun finally couldn't sit still anymore and prepared to start a new journey. He didn't know what kind of world this time would be.

Cruze also stood up: "Have a good rest today, Gina, you arrange for people to prepare for departure."

Everyone left together. On the way back to rest, Xiao Yun and Cruze said, "This is the only door we have. According to past practice, we can only have one chance. If the world we open this time is a worthless world, we may become passive next time."

Xiao Yun raised his hand and looked at it: "It's not really that passive. I can try my luck."

Cruze took a look at Xiao Yun's actions and knew what he was thinking, which was to let him touch the door himself to make it change. Such things had always been the primary taboo before, but if this time was over, this was really the only way for them to continue to have the possibility of crossing different worlds.

Now it's the last door anyway, and there is no choice until we get other doors.

After a good night's rest, a large group of people gathered fully armed and ready in a large space covered entirely by special materials located in the deepest part of the underground of Shuguang Industry the next day.

The same thing has been done many times, so there is plenty of preparation and everyone is already very accustomed to carrying out such tasks.

"The containment facility is activated, the isolation facility is normal and can be opened."

There was a door in front of him. Xiao Yun stood near the door and raised his hand, and another door suddenly appeared...
