Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Below, the coal furnace burned with a fierce glow, flames over ten meters high nearly engulfing half of the Melting Furnace; above it, torrents of silver-white smoke poured out ceaselessly. The Blood-colored Miasma, not particularly dense to begin with, grew visibly paler under the scouring of the smoke, proof that its concentration was continuously being diluted.

”Move out, advance!”

”Heave... ho... heave... ho...”

At the very front of the army, Fan Qinghu barked an order. Twenty thousand Town Guard Army Soldiers hauling on the chains let out a unified roar, and under the combined effort of all, the enormous Melting Furnace slowly began to move southward.

Of the remaining eighty thousand Soldiers, fifty thousand were Silver Scale Army and thirty thousand were Town Guard Army. They were evenly divided into four battle formations surrounding the Melting Furnace on all sides, about twenty thousand in each direction, matching its pace step for step as it slowly advanced.

”This Melting Furnace is made entirely from Cold Beast Golden Bone, isn’t it?”

High above the army, a hundred Xianyang Level experts stood in midair. Xia Hong stood near the front of the group, looking down at the golden Melting Furnace below, suppressing his inner astonishment as he turned to ask Cai Yunlan beside him with a calm expression.

From the moment they left the main building of the camp, Cai Yunlan had been paying close attention to the expression on Xia Hong’s face. Seeing that he hadn’t revealed the slightest hint of surprise from start to finish, he couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly, secretly blaming Fan Qinghu’s probing yesterday as somewhat unnecessary.

Hearing Xia Hong’s question, he nodded and said, ”Brother Hong has sharp eyes. Silver is no ordinary fuel; to smelt it to the point of vaporization, ordinary materials are naturally impossible. For this colossal Melting Furnace, besides the twenty giant wheels beneath and the four side chains of the coal furnace, all are made from Ten Thousand Forged Silver. Every other part is made from Beast King Level Golden Bone.

As for silver, let’s set that aside for now. Brother Hong should know that Golden Bone is the primary material for refining Bone Shedding Pill and many other important Dan Medicines, and is extremely precious. To make this Golden Bone Melting Furnace, Cai Qiu spent nine years in total, pouring in manpower and resources beyond count...”

”Beyond count” doesn’t even begin to cover it!

Looking at the Golden Bone Melting Furnace on the ground, Xia Hong’s face was placid as an undisturbed well, but inside, waves as high as the heavens were already surging.

Even without touching it, just from the marching speed of those twenty thousand Town Guard Soldiers below, he could roughly infer that the amount of silver consumed was at least over ten billion jin.
