Chapter 4602

"

Hermine: "Becoming chief engineer is fine! By the way, are you still an alchemist, or have you abandoned alchemy for engineering?"

Hermine became interested.

Edward Elric: "...... I think you have some misunderstanding about our world."

Edward Elric: "Engineers here used to be... alchemists!"

Edward Elric was both exasperated and amused.

Old Heavenly Master: ""

Levi: "......"

Shazam: "You can do it like this too!"

Sakamoto: "Think about it carefully—this is perfectly normal! After all, alchemists and engineers are fundamentally very similar."

Sakamoto: "Engineers ultimately engage in industrial manufacturing, and alchemists can do the same......"

Sakamoto: "The greatest difference between our industrialized society and Edward's world is simply that industrialization allows mass production, and ordinary people can participate... whereas alchemists in Edward's world can only produce individually."

Sakamoto pushed up his glasses.

Sakamoto: "So, alchemists transform into engineers! Then they research all kinds of high-precision instruments and machine tools, and simultaneously train ordinary workers to operate these... machine tools... Industrialization can be completed easily."

Kogoro Kudo: "Yes, in Edward's world, even without guild members' help, as long as he has this concept... he can easily open the door to industrialization for the entire nation."

Kudo was deeply moved.

Kogoro Kudo: "Alchemists have a natural advantage in this regard."

Zhu Di: "Envious."

Masaoka Yōō: "You, the guy kept by Qin Shi Huang, have no right to say such a thing."

Masaoka Yōō spoke without expression.

Jisutē: "!!!!"

Zhu Di: "...... Can calling an emperor's relationship 'keeping'? That's called mutual support! Joint development."

Zhu Di's eyebrow twitched.

Cheng Long Doesn't Want to Do Archaeology: "...... Kong Yiji!"

Tōfū Shijūrō: "666666."

Claire: "Keeping... Qin Shi Huang and Ming Chengzu? That's truly incredible."

Miss Xia Shizi: "I can completely picture that scene."

Dongfang Bai: "No wonder you're a writer—your imagination in this area is truly rich."

Kurogane: "Speaking of which... I've been wondering if Erii might also be in the guild, inspired by many things, secretly drawing lots of... uh, manga."

Gao Ban: "Don't phrase it like that! Just ask directly."

Gao Ban: "Teacher Eromanga."

Erii."

"You didn't secretly draw guild members' doujinshi, did you?"

Kogitsune Yukina: "!!!!"

Sakata Ginji: "That's intense."

"

Yozakura: "......"

Erii: "!!! How could I ever do such a thing?"

Erii's cheeks flushed bright red.

Teacher Eromanga: "...... This, that..."

Tamako: "Wait... Izumi Saki didn't deny it."

Tamako thought for a moment, suddenly realizing something was off, her expression turning strange.

Heidi Shaw: "!!!!"

Miyazono Kaori: "Terrifying..."

Lang Fan Yun: "...... He involuntarily shivered."

Teacher Eromanga: "!!! Everyone, don't misunderstand!"

Teacher Eromanga: "I haven't drawn doujinshi of guild members... I simply use certain templates of guild characters to shape the figures in my drawings."

"Just that..."

Amano Hina: "......"

Xie Wang Shizhi Xuan: "It sounds fine, but somehow, it still feels off."

Cheng Yong: "Speechless."

Gao Ban Tongnai: "Forget it, I'll go check on Izumi—if she's messing around, I'll delete all those... drawings she's been doing."

Gao Ban Tongnai: "I've been keeping a close eye on Izumi lately. Anyway... I haven't seen her post anything similar to guild members' explicit images on Twitter or any novel site."

"Even if she really drew them, she should still have them in her possession."

Miss Xia Shizi: "As long as you're not stupid... you wouldn't choose to post them."

Xia Shizi's face wore an expression of utter disbelief.

After all, if Izumi Saki had drawn and posted them, gained fame, she'd easily be discovered by other guild members from the same world... and if it got exposed within the guild, it would be a huge offense... so the most likely scenario is that Izumi Saki draws them privately, just for her own amusement.

Teacher Eromanga: "!!! Gao Ban, you can't do that!"

Gao Ban Tongnai: "I'm already at your door. Open up!"

Tōfū Shijūrō: "Sss... so fast?"

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "It's normal... after all, Gao Ban's strength is now very strong."

"Besides, who knows if she's... developed spatial abilities and can just teleport there in an instant?"

Mao Chang Jingyan: "Reasonable and well-founded!"

Texas: "Your lives are truly eventful."

Levi: "By the way, didn't you say last time that the Ark Project had developed new drugs? Texas, has your side achieved universal harmony?"

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "......"

Alice: "Why are you so naive as to harbor such an illusion of universal harmony?"

Alice: "Our real world has no Stone Sickness as a terminal illness—yet still, there is no universal harmony!"

Alice: "Without disease, humans will still kill each other for countless other reasons."

"For example, for the sake of interest!"

Alice's expression was cold; she saw this issue with absolute clarity.

Long Men Chen: "Hmm... Talula has fully embraced the knowledge and ideals of the Red Book; now, she has nearly overthrown Ursus entirely."

"She plans to build an incredibly powerful Red Empire!"

Zhu Xing Tuan: "This plot seems oddly familiar."

San Ri Yue Yekong: "The transition from Tsarist Russia to the Soviet Union—breathtaking."

Lelouch: "Only I am thinking... could the new Red Ursus crush the Arknights world outright?"

Thinking about it, yes, it's true.

Even Ursus in its original, decaying form could sweep the world, slay gods and kill demons.

Now, after complete reform, its productive forces have exploded... such power is terrifying to imagine."

Not to mention crushing the world.

Even if all nations of the Arknights world united and cooperated fully, they might still not defeat this version of Red Ursus."

Long Men Chen: "..."

Long Men Chen: "Wait, shouldn't the next step be national development? Why are we suddenly talking about fighting the whole world?"

Chen looked bewildered; you've dragged this topic too far.

Never mind that Talula hasn't even conquered Ursus yet—even if she did, the most urgent task afterward would be to rebuild the nation and restore its people's strength! A nation that knows only war, no matter how powerful, will inevitably perish! They want to save the world, to forge a better one.

Not to destroy it.
