462: Future Castle

"Right here!" Long Yuan said, tapping a spot on the map with his right hand.

"Zhoushan Delta?" everyone called out hesitantly.

"Correct! This is the best Breakthrough point for the Sea Clan, but it is also the best location to annihilate them!" Long Yuan said.

"Annihilate them?!" everyone exclaimed in disbelief.

Even the military general Wang Weidong, who had been sitting silently, jolted, unable to believe his ears.

Because everyone's current train of thought was centered on how to resist the Sea Clan's invasion; just holding their ground was good enough. No one dared to hope for the possibility of counter-attacking and annihilating the Sea Clan, which, in their view, didn't have the slightest possibility of happening.

Long Yuan nodded and said, "If each of our cities can effectively resist the Sea Clan's invasion, then a large number of the Sea Clan will likely divert along certain gaps. The Zhoushan Delta area will inevitably gather the most Sea Clan. The terrain here is open and has sufficient water to guarantee the Sea Clan's needs; it can be said that this is certainly the area the Sea Clan likes the most. If we do not defend it and allow them to drive straight in, then not only will our defense line collapse, but each city may also be separated by them and defeated one by one!"

"My God!!!"

"How terrifying!"

"The Zhoushan Delta area must absolutely not be lost!"

"But with so many Sea Clan, can we really stop them?"

"That's right, the forces that each city can divert probably won't be much..."

"What can we do..."

The group discussed it in a flurry. Wang Weidong also had a heavy expression, saying, "The forces I brought from Yingtian Prefecture can indeed set up defenses here, but the number of troops is too small, and the firepower is insufficient. I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold!"

Long Yuan nodded slightly. This was the truth; one couldn't just blame those city lords for being timid. Even a clever housewife cannot cook without rice.

He smiled and said, "To deal with them, we cannot rely solely on the fighting teams to fight to the death; we also need to use wisdom!"

"Use wisdom? Young Lord, are you saying..." Wang Weidong's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently.

Long Yuan pointed to a spot on the Nanyue River on the map and said, "The Zhoushan Delta was formed by the erosion of the Nanyue River, and the Nanyue River is formed by the convergence of countless small and medium-sized rivers. If we intercept these small and medium-sized rivers near the mouth of the Nanyue River, what will be the result?"

"Intercept the water flow? Then the amount of water flowing into the Nanyue River would be greatly reduced!" Wang Weidong pondered.

"Correct! When a large number of the Sea Clan are swimming upstream along the river, the water will suddenly disappear. At that moment, they will be stranded, and then the seawater will backflow, scattering their formation..." Long Yuan said.

Everyone was greatly encouraged upon hearing this. If they could use the power of nature to resist the Sea Clan, it would be much better than relying solely on human power!

Everyone knew that no matter how powerful human effort was, it was always insignificant in the face of nature...

"And then what?" Wang Weidong asked urgently.

Long Yuan continued, "When they finally manage to regroup their formation, we will gradually release the intercepted water. The river water at this time will form one flood peak after another, washing them out into the sea, causing them to trample and injure each other. Coupled with our ambush troops and massive artillery bombardment, it will cause huge casualties to the Sea Clan!"

"Wow!!!"

"Young Lord, this city must participate in this battle!" Prefect Duan Jian said loudly with bright eyes.

"Our Shanyang City is in the northern part of the Zhoushan Delta; we must be a part of the counter-attack!" Ma Ming said quickly.

"Our Shanyin City too! We are more than familiar with the river terrain!" Lin Yan said immediately.

"Our Yingtian Prefecture fighting team can participate in the river interception and the counter-offensive!" Wang Weidong also immediately stated his position.

Long Yuan smiled and said, "That works. I originally intended to have all four of you participate. It will just happen to form a bag-shaped battlefield area. Coupled with a qilin war chariot team from our Nanyue Base to provide cover, it will provide you with sufficient firepower!"

"Great! We will definitely go all out, even if it means death!" everyone shouted in unison.

"Next, we will immediately organize personnel to survey the terrain and conduct interception tests with a small amount of river water first!" Long Yuan said.

"Yes!" everyone replied, and they began to discuss...

This video conference lasted about an hour. Afterward, each city sent out elite fighting teams to rendezvous with Wang Weidong's Yingtian Prefecture fighting team, and according to the plan, they went to various small and medium-sized tributaries to carry out the survey and interception tasks...

At this time, the entire Nanyue Base finally began to operate in full swing. A large amount of strategic supplies were transported to the front line, a large number of troops gathered, reserve fighting teams were being organized and trained, while ordinary people worked overtime day and night, and more idle labor was invested in the logistics team to provide strong support for the operation of the entire war machine!

The storm is approaching, and the wind is filling the building; this wind is becoming increasingly urgent with the footsteps of the Sea Clan's invasion!

Sinkhole Base, Future City.

This place had completely changed compared to a few months ago!

This space had been crafted into a whole. In the middle was the cultivation dojo centered on that High Grade Spiritual Vein. Radiating outwards from this as the center point, it was divided into small fan-shaped areas. Each area had its unique research projects, architectural features, and personnel allocation. Between each area, there were roads and green belts separating them. These roads were specially crafted, could support unmanned driving, and were charged by solar energy around the clock. All road signs and management were intelligently controlled, requiring no human participation.

Above the center of the base, an incomparably huge device rose from the ground, its height invisible. At the top, ten thousand rays of sunlight were cast upon the earth. That was the base's energy core: the artificial nuclear fusion small sun!

This small sun took only two months to complete. After completion, it became a landmark building here. Everyone felt filled with pride and glory when looking at it!

Being able to build a nuclear fusion small sun is a major sign of a civilization growing into a Level 1 civilization!

It means that energy can be obtained continuously, and there is no need to worry about the problem of energy shortages...

At the same time, all industries within the base were flourishing. All scientific and technological personnel were distributed into various sub-space areas according to their strengths to begin their own research and creation. Various high-tech products emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Of course, there were basic projects and key projects among them. For example, those who studied basic theories such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry mainly provided theoretical knowledge. They seemed a bit more leisurely every day and didn't seem to have any products coming out, but in fact, these talents were the cornerstone of the base. Without the theoretical foundation they laid, other high-tech products would only be castles in the air.

Currently, the key projects of the Sinkhole Base include the Drone, hypersonic missiles, mechs, Laser Cannon, laser guns, electromagnetic cannons, Life Phased Array Radar, God of Electricity No. 1, artificial intelligence, and the qilin war chariot, which Long Yuan has often mentioned recently. Among these, one must also mention a special alloy, which the base calls "universal gold". This alloy can be applied to aviation, submarines, war chariots, Profound Weapon, mechs, Mystic Cannon, Xuan Gun, and other scenarios. It is not only resistant to high temperatures, extreme cold, and high pressure but also lightweight and sturdy. It can change its hue through adjustment, blending with the surrounding environment to achieve the purpose of stealth. It can be said that the emergence of this epoch-making alloy has fundamentally improved the comprehensive performance and power of the entire base's products...
