After exchanging a few more words with Dunshan, Luca didn't linger in the war room.
He didn't plan on staying in the Dimension War for too long this time, and he had other things to attend to. As for creating "Demon Warriors," that wasn't something he could whip up in a few minutes.
Though, with his mastery of the "Return to Heaven Ritual," it wouldn't be difficult once he had some free time to research it.
Worst case, he could just try building some bionic demon androids.
Since the goal was just intelligence gathering, fooling demons into thinking a robot was one of their own shouldn't be too hard.
For now, Luca dumped Tony on Dunshan.
He then used his supreme authority in the base system to designate a small plot of land for the brand-new factory he had brought along.
On an empty lot at the edge of the Hex Legion base.
A row of Haro Engineering Robots and a row of Yuri Clone Engineers waited neatly at the edge of the clearing, clearly separated into two groups.
The original plan for this site was to build the Legion's third power plant.
Currently, the Hex Base's primary power source was still the "Bio-Reactor" from the Yuri tech tree.
This building was efficient, the technology was mature, and it could process raw materials scavenged directly from the battlefield. It was far more suitable here than other power plants that required resources shipped from Earth.
So, since the Dimension War began, Luca had only made minor tweaks to its design modules, keeping the core Bio-Reactor structure intact.
However, a single reactor had its limits.
As the base expanded, the number of reactors grew.
Combined with the need to plan around other buildings, the footprint of these power plants was becoming unmanageable.
But that problem ended today.
Poof! Poof! Poof!
Three puffs of smoke exploded.
Three Dyno-Caps thrown by Luca landed precisely in three corners of the clearing.
The building in the center looked somewhat like a factory structure deployed by a Yuri MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle).
However, while it had the cranes, loading platforms, and massive factory gates, its overall design was sleeker and more rounded. Compared to Yuri's "Industrial Cthulhu" aesthetic, this one looked much more sci-fi.
The building on the left resembled Yuri's War Factory but shared the sleeker design language.
The building on the right was strange. It was a tall structure, looking a bit like a high-rise parking garage. On the bottom "floor," over a dozen massive cylindrical tanks emitting an eerie crimson glow were neatly arranged.
Hell MCV, Hell War Factory, Hell Furnace Power Plant.
These were the names Luca had given them.
That's right. The supplies Luca brought from Earth were all "Hell Furnace Buildings," modified to integrate the Demon-Series Solar Furnaces!
The "Hell MCV" was named after the Mobile Construction Vehicle, but for practical reasons, it didn't transform or move like the original Yuri MCV.
It kept the name because, like the original, its integrated industrial production line was designed to rapidly manufacture modular building components and construct more tier-two structures.
This included the Hell War Factory, Hell Furnace Power Plant, and standalone Hell Furnaces.
The Hell War Factory functioned like the Yuri War Factory. Once fed resources, it could mass-produce combat units equipped with Hell Furnaces, such as "Magical Energy Beam Tanks" and "Hell Furnace GN Missile Trucks."
As for the Hell Furnace Power Plant, it was an integrated power generation facility that linked multiple Hell Furnaces in series as its energy core.
All they had to do was keep the Hell MCV running, constantly producing new Hell Furnaces to slot into the empty "floors" of the power plant. This would provide near-infinite energy to the entire Hex Legion.
Luca designed these buildings for one reason: to steal energy from the Hell Dimension and further tip the scales of this war.
In fact, he had this idea the moment the Demon-Material Solar Furnace was successfully developed.
After synthesizing [Compound V] and handing it off to Sherry for research, Luca didn't just sit around.
These "Hell Series Buildings," based on Yuri's fully automated, modular construction lines, were the final product of his sleepless nights of design and engineering.
As mentioned before, the "Pseudo-Solar Furnace" made with demon materials—the Hell Furnace—worked by constantly siphoning energy from the Hell Dimension.
And the Dimension War just happened to be a war of energy plunder between two dimensions.
Before this, the Hex Legion had to either ship resources from Earth or scavenge demon corpses to sustain the war effort.
All of this was because the battlefield's "energy split" mechanism forced Luca to minimize his own consumption.
However, no matter how carefully he calculated the budget, he still had to worry about resource recovery and "wasted damage"—using too much firepower for too little gain.
But now?
With enough Hell Furnaces, the balance of the war would tilt again.
Because "stealing your resources to fight you" was basically getting something for nothing.
From now on, even if the Hex Legion decided to use a Death Star laser to kill a Level 1 Imp...
No! Even if the Hex Legion did nothing but run these Hell Furnaces at full power and vent the energy uselessly...
When the dimension split the energy 50-50, the Hex Dimension would still profit massively!
Every new Hell Furnace produced here was like forcing another pump onto the Hell Dimension, sucking it dry.
Eventually, half of the "water" pumped out would be filtered by the Dimension War mechanism and poured into the Hex Dimension, fueling its growth.
Moving forward, not only would existing base facilities gradually switch to Hell Furnace power, but Luca would also develop more "Hell Series" war units based on this tech.
He named this entire initiative:
The Hell Civil War Project!
