"Second Lieutenant Sophia, slow down, I'm really going to throw up." Cinder leaned against the seat, his face pale, eyes closed, suppressing his nausea.
In the driver's seat was a blonde beauty in military uniform.
Sophia automatically ignored Cinder's plea and said, "Commander, please bear with it a little longer. We are only three kilometers from our destination."
At this moment, the two were driving a heavy truck on a rugged mountain road.
Anyone who has played red alert would recognize it as a 'Soviet Army Construction Yard' just by looking at the heavy truck's appearance.
Boom—!
Suddenly, a cannon shot was heard from outside the vehicle.
Cinder looked out the window; a Grizzly Tank accelerated past them.
At this time, a report came over the radio inside the Construction Yard.
"Commencing assault!"
Cinder looked ahead; a group of Hilichurls was blocking the road directly in front of them.
A cannon shell was fired, and the Hilichurl squad was instantly wiped out.
Another report came over the radio.
"Obstacle cleared, continuing to advance."
The Grizzly Tank led the way, and another Grizzly Tank followed behind the Construction Yard.
However, on that tank, besides the driver, there were also eight Soldiers: three Conscripts, four Allied GIs, and one Heavy Trooper, judging by their uniforms and weapons.
With two tanks escorting them, ordinary Hilichurls were no match for them.
Cinder relaxed and closed his eyes to rest.
It had been a month since he arrived in Teyvat.
In his previous life, he was an ordinary wage earner, his only advantage being that he was quite good at gaming.
The most glorious moment of his life was being critically hit by two dump trucks.
They say dump trucks are portals to other worlds.
This was true; when Cinder woke up, he had already transmigrated to Teyvat.
Coordinates: Teyvat, Mondstadt, the City of Wind.
Beside him was a secretary, Sophia, a brand new Soviet Army Construction Yard, and a golden finger called the 'red alert System.'
red alert and allogene were Cinder's favorite games, one a real-time strategy game, the other an open-world game.
He originally thought that he just needed to deploy the Construction Yard on the spot, then mine and build structures, and produce units.
Once he had enough troops in the future, he could conquer the entire world in one go.
However, ideas are like lovers in dreams, while reality is a muscular tough guy giving you a slap.
Cinder had thought things too simply.
Not all places are suitable for establishing a base.
It's not like in games, where you spawn next to a mine and are given a ready-made oil field to develop.
Here, Cinder had to find the mine himself and also search for a suitable camp.
In Teyvat, there were many powerful monsters, such as the Anemo Hypostasis that could use Anemo element power.
That thing could easily put Cinder to death.
He and Sophia together only had one Makarov pistol, making it impossible to defeat that elite monster.
It was even a bit difficult to deal with Hilichurls.
At their worst, the two were chased around by Hilichurls in the Construction Yard.
But thankfully, the system wasn't completely merciless.
It didn't provide funds or troops but gave boxes that could open random items.
The system would randomly refresh five boxes daily, scattered across the world, and at 12 PM each day, any uncollected boxes would disappear.
As long as Cinder picked up these wooden boxes, he could open some random items.
These included, but were not limited to, funds, Blueprint Energy, buff bonuses, Soldiers, tanks, high-tech units, and even superweapons, etc.
In the first ten days, out of fifty boxes, Cinder only found three.
They opened to reveal a firepower buff, 1000 funds, and one Conscript.
With a Soldier escorting him, Cinder's life became slightly easier.
By the twentieth day, they had successively found ten more boxes.
These yielded 1000 funds, 500 Blueprint Energy, two Allied GIs, one Grizzly Tank, and a pile of temporary buffs.
Once the tank appeared, their daily life immediately improved.
With the Grizzly Tank leading the way and three Soldiers cooperating, the number of boxes Cinder found doubled, from ten to twenty.
These yielded 5000 funds, 2000 Blueprint Energy, another Grizzly Tank, and a pile of Soldiers and temporary buffs.
This feeling of opening blind boxes was quite good, and Cinder originally wanted to continue searching for boxes with the Construction Yard.
But Sophia told him bad news.
The fuel carried by the Construction Yard was running low; if they didn't start mining and developing oil soon,
Both the Construction Yard and the tanks would be stranded.
Helplessly, Cinder could only ask Sophia to use the Construction Yard radar to find a suitable location for a base.
After some searching, Sophia finally found an ideal base location in Dadaupa Gorge, a gathering place for Hilichurls.
The sound from the broadcast interrupted Cinder's thoughts.
"Bound forward!"
At this moment, the Grizzly Tank escorting the Construction Yard from behind also accelerated.
It quickly overtook the Construction Yard.
The Soldiers on the tank cheered, "Ura!"
They launched a surprise attack on the Hilichurl tribe together.
Cannon fire and gunshots intertwined, mixed with the roars of Mitachurls and the screams of ordinary Hilichurls.
The battle ended quickly.
"Area cleared, mission accomplished."
Good news came over the radio.
Sophia drove the Construction Yard into the tribe.
Beep beep beep~
The radar on the vehicle was constantly operating, with a range of approximately 10km.
With a scan, the map showed dense yellow light spots and black patches, the light spots directly beneath their feet.
These were all valuable minerals, and deeper underground, there were large oil fields.
This was the most ideal and perfect starting location.
Sophia sought Cinder's advice: "Commander, should we deploy the base here?"
"Of course."
This location was already perfect, with gold, oil, and very open space.
Getting out of the car, Cinder's legs felt a bit wobbly, but thankfully, a GI supported him, preventing his Commander from losing face in front of the Soldiers.
The Soldiers began clearing the open ground as per Sophia's request.
Soon, the Soldiers cleared an area approximately 130 meters long and wide.
Sophia drove the Construction Yard to the center.
Retreating to a safe spot, she clicked 'deploy'.
An astonishing scene began; the Construction Yard quickly transformed and enlarged.
In just two seconds, a massive Soviet Army base completed its transformation.
The base covered a total area of 1.7 hectares.
Cinder was very surprised; the deployment speed was too fast.
Such a behemoth was deployed in just two seconds.
Sophia walked over and said to Cinder, "Commander, please come into the base with me."
Following Sophia, he entered the base.
The base was enormous, with no one inside.
There were only fully automated logistics robots.
They arrived at the command room.
To the north of the command room was a huge screen, and in the center of the office was a wartime command table.
This was his command room, and also the most core area of the entire base.
He would be working here from now on.
As soon as Cinder sat down, Sophia handed him a tablet computer.
She said, "Commander, please begin construction."
Cinder looked at the tablet in his hand.
On the upper right side of the screen were the base's funds and Blueprint Energy.
Funds: 7000, Blueprint Energy: 2000.
