I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1961 - 1332:

At this time, even the Divine Craftsman whose mind is steeped in metal would become more agile in thinking.

Xiyun glanced at the Earth Fire Furnace, about ten meters high, leaned in to take a closer look, and reached out to touch it. The Earth Fire Furnace had already insulated the high temperature emitted by the Earth Fire well.

However, when the Earth Fire well is needed to provide temperature, the Earth Fire Furnace can also emit the corresponding temperature as required, and the temperature emitted can even be distributed more evenly in the tribe village.

Its surface is warm and not hot to the touch. Xiyun looked towards an opening of the furnace and gestured to the blacksmith beside him to operate it.

The accompanying blacksmith smiled and quickly demonstrated the operation: "This thing is very impressive and is much more controllable than directly using the Earth Fire well.

Things like iron ingots, when directly touched by the Earth Fire well, evaporate instantly, but now they can be precisely smelted into molten iron..."

The blacksmith quickly used the Earth Fire Furnace to forge a weapon, as long as the materials were well handled, the efficiency of casting swords was higher, provided that the mold and other preparations were ready.

Forging weapons takes a bit longer. For demonstration purposes, the blacksmith used a sword-casting approach, though what he made now was not a rigorous weapon, but a skinning knife.

"From now on, you better use this thing well." Xiyun patted the Earth Fire Furnace and then left. He was not a blacksmith; even though he lived for a long time and could do some smithing, it still differed from professionals.

Yet, if he wanted to learn, it wouldn’t be too difficult. The village now gathered many Divine Craftsmen; learning a bit would put him ahead of most people.

There is no complex ceremony for starting the furnace; once the Earth Fire Furnace is completed, it can be directly used.

Those Divine Craftsmen had already discussed with the Clan Leader and the elders; all they needed was the borrowing rights for the Earth Fire Furnace, nothing else.

Of course, the Clan Leader of the tribe wouldn’t refuse, might even wish for these Divine Craftsmen to stay here longer; they also need blacksmiths.

Let the village’s blacksmiths slowly explore the techniques; where could they compare to the speed of learning from these Divine Craftsmen?

And those Divine Craftsmen, faced with the tribe’s unique peaches, were even more generous with some knowledge. Although that knowledge wasn’t considered their exclusive skills, it was still hard for ordinary blacksmiths to access.

"How strange." Xiyun, looking at the tribe’s ever-improving development, scratched his cheek, seemingly thinking back on his predecessor’s warnings that the tribe’s development had been getting better ever since.

Even if this series of developments wasn’t a coincidence, like the Earth Fire Furnace.

If he hadn’t opened up the Earth Fire well, so many Divine Craftsmen wouldn’t have come here, along with the peach tree that attracted many well-known pharmaceutists to the area.

They wanted to access this special ’Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures’, and all this made this village more prosperous in a short time.

What pleased Xiyun was that the matters previously discussed by the tribe members hadn’t changed; they wanted to progress without being lost in the current prosperity.

They took advantage of this prosperous opportunity, continuously acquiring new knowledge from the outside world, coupled with the ’General Outline’ left by Xiyun. In two months, many young adults in the tribe made new breakthroughs.

Say no more, at least received a ’not bad’ evaluation from Xiyun.

However, Xiyun was still very clear; given the current situation of the tribe, once he left and someone was sure he couldn’t return, the tribe would still face great misfortune.

Yet, Xiyun had completely made up his mind. He wouldn’t leave in the next hundred years or so, preventing any crisis in the tribe.

After yawning, Xiyun came to the backyard of his home. A beam of light descended from the sky, and Xiyun walked into this beam of light, disappearing and then reappearing inside the warship.

The repaired warship was rejuvenated, and with extraterrestrial debris constantly falling, materials were no longer a problem. Xiyun would collect the debris near Tianyun Mountain whenever he had the time.

Some debris even fell deep within Tianyun Mountain, a forbidden area for many, but he could easily enter and exit.

Originally, the warship’s repairs focused on the hull, but as materials accumulated, the interior was also repaired, and the warship’s A.I. even asked Xiyun if he had any additional requests, such as changing the warship’s paint.

Xiyun, of course, had no such needs; he didn’t understand it, and when it came to drawing, he could only produce stick figures like a primitive artist.

"Captain, this is the latest parsing of battle reports, with some intelligence highly encrypted and unable to be decrypted."

"Just let me see what I can." Xiyun said indifferently, the amount of extraterrestrial debris was too much; those intelligence pieces that couldn’t be decrypted, according to the A.I., were due to the opponent’s higher technology.

And to extract intelligence records from equipment with a lower technology level than this warship was only a matter of time.

Xiyun was accustomed to this; few technologies surpassed this warship. Occasionally encountering such situations didn’t disappoint him, as other extraterrestrial debris brought plenty of intelligence.

He often treated these like watching movies, spending a long time viewing them.

These records deepened Xiyun’s understanding of the Galactic War; the Hundred Clans were determined to completely eradicate the Tianhe people. Despite the prolonged war, no sign of weakness from the Hundred Clans.

However, this time, through the parsed intelligence records, Xiyun noticed something new: amidst a huge heap of warships, many ’old and shabby’ vessels appeared.

"What are these supposed to be?"

"Outside the Hundred Clans, according to analysis of existing intelligence, the pressure borne by the Hundred Clans is too immense, and they’re already beginning to forcibly conscript civilizations outside the Hundred Clans to join the battle."

"..." Xiyun frowned: "Does this mean the place I live might face such ’conscription’?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Based on my assessment, the high-level combat power of this planet meets the requirements for conscription."

"Is it cannon fodder?"

"In warfare of this scale, the high-level combat power of this planet could only serve as cannon fodder for attrition, with most unable to directly encounter the enemy."

Xiyun thought this ’cosmic’ scale warfare was absurd, completely overturning his understanding, even listened to stories from traveling merchants.

Like where a country found ancient secrets during a war and reversed the situation, destroying hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, re-casting former glory.

Such attacks to some warships were just a single shot, with battles like this ongoing in cosmic warfare.

In contrast, sending the high-level combat power of the continent as cannon fodder seemed normal.

But why should people from his side be dragged into a war that has nothing to do with them?

If people from the continent enjoyed benefits from the war, getting dragged in would seem rightful; but what had people on this side enjoyed?

Extraterrestrial debris? That stuff wasn’t even wanted by people here, although many factions on the continent wish for extraterrestrial debris.

"Can’t this situation be avoided?"

The warship’s A.I. vetoed: "It can’t be avoided; as the war intensifies, the pressure on the Hundred Clans will increase, and all planets around Tianhe would be forcibly conscripted unless this planet’s civilization can squeeze into the Hundred Clans."

"...What about the timeline?"

"Analyzing existing intelligence, it’s at most half a year."

Xiyun nodded, stopping his speech, continuing to watch those war records playing before him. Most of these records were incomplete, mainly due to severe damage to the warships that fell from outer space.

Even with some information storage devices repaired, the data inside still had missing parts.

But even so, for Xiyun, it was sufficient to keep him watching, as the wars portrayed seemed dreamlike.

Many warships often didn’t actually see the enemy before being utterly destroyed, and in a war like this, many people just died inexplicably. Thinking of this planet’s future encounters made Xiyun feel uneasy.
