Flipping the table: The complete Raging Waves!

Lin Ye himself scarcely dared imagine how many points a single round of an instance with this many challengers could harvest...

By Lin Ye's analysis, a force of a million might actually have a chance of breaking through the Nation-Destroying Fleet's conventional aircraft carriers.

But they would still be no match for Eagle Sauce Country's eleven nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Even though the Firmament had raised the number of challengers to a million, Lin Ye didn't think they posed much of a threat.

Of course, that estimate assumed the million challengers were all at the same level of combat strength as those in the previous instances.

According to Lin Ye's earlier judgment, the average combat strength of this world should be on par with Blue Star's S1 in his previous life.

But that judgment rested on one major premise: the average had been measured using the instances Lin Ye had participated in and the challengers who had appeared in his own instance.

If the number of instance challengers rose to a million, some discrepancies were bound to emerge!

Quite a few LV3 fighters, or even LV4 high-level combatants, might get swept in.

Lin Ye felt it was still somewhat risky. The problem was that Eagle Sauce in Raging Waves wasn't Eagle Sauce in its complete, peak form.

Back then, to launch the Raging Waves instance as quickly as possible, Lin Ye had only designed Eagle Sauce Country with naval forces and hegemonic dominance over the economy, politics, public opinion, and so on.

That was why Raging Waves had remained its initial version all along, rather than the complete version.

At that level, it was more than enough to deal with ordinary challengers from Azure Star.

But now that the Firmament had raised Raging Waves to the million-person, national-war level, Lin Ye didn't mind letting this world experience Eagle Sauce in its complete form.

They could experience just how much substance the "Five Permanent Members" truly had!

Since the Firmament was playing it this way, there was no need for Lin Ye to hold back.

He could just flip the table. There was nothing more to say!

"Firmament, I want to upgrade my instance, Raging Waves. Can I?"

[Dear designer, the Firmament supports all designers in upgrading and modifying their own instances to provide a better instance experience!]

[As long as a designer ensures that the modifications can be completed before the instance opens again, all operations related to improving the instance are permitted.]

After receiving the Firmament's affirmative answer, Lin Ye didn't want to waste a minute and entered Creation Space at once.

In this world, he would never do anything risky.

If he was going to do it, he would make absolutely sure nothing could go wrong!

As luck would have it, he now had the dual boost of the Design Acceleration Privilege and the Acceleration Card. The instance's construction speed was incredibly fast, giving him every chance to finish all the designs before it opened again.

After entering Creation Space, Lin Ye immediately began transmitting information to the system.

Besides reigning supreme at sea, Eagle Sauce also possessed the world's strongest aerial combat force.

Eagle Sauce had 500,000 active-duty air force personnel!

Five thousand manned aircraft!

Among them were 200 bombers, 2,000 fighter jets, 180 helicopters, 140 reconnaissance and early-warning aircraft, and 10 special operations aircraft!

Two hundred unmanned aircraft!

It also had 2,000 air-launched cruise missiles!

And 600 intercontinental ballistic missiles!

The entire air force was divided into four major forces: strategic forces, tactical forces, space forces, and special operations forces!

He also added an expeditionary task force, immediately putting Eagle Sauce on a wartime footing! He designated this task force as the highest command of the Eagle Sauce Air Force!

In his previous life, Lin Ye had been a member of a Dragon Country research institute. As the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy, and you need not fear a hundred battles.

Over the years, Dragon Country had been competing with Eagle Sauce both openly and covertly, and it could be said to have studied the composition of Eagle Sauce's air force thoroughly.

Thus, conveying this information to Creation Space now came easily to him.

There was no doubt about its coherence or logic!

Even for some designs whose blueprints Lin Ye didn't fully know, as long as he could explain the basic design logic clearly, Divine Creation Space could generally derive them.

Before long, aircraft after aircraft came rushing out of Eagle Sauce's aircraft factories at wind-and-lightning speed.

Across the vast sky, countless F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets circled and soared over Eagle Sauce's airspace like a densely packed swarm of bees.

With their distinctive shapes and formidable combat power, these fighters had become an iconic part of the Eagle Sauce Air Force. They were not only among the longest-serving and most numerous fighters in active service, but had also drawn considerable attention for their outstanding performance.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon was renowned for its high maneuverability and tactical flexibility, allowing it to execute all manner of complex maneuvers with ease. Whether in air-to-air combat or on air-to-ground strike missions, it could deliver outstanding performance.

Then, one silver F-15 Eagle after another took off, shooting straight into the clouds.

These fighters were equipped with the most advanced weapon systems, including a full complement of Eagle air-to-air missiles, AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles, and Sea Eagle Anti-Ship Missiles. These powerful weapons gave the F-15 Eagle unparalleled offensive capabilities.

Fifty B-2 Spirit bombers slipped straight into the blue sky.

This was Eagle Sauce's prized stealth strategic bomber, and one of the most advanced strategic bombers in the world!

It was designed specifically to destroy important strategic targets such as enemy command posts, arms and ammunition depots, radar defense systems, and logistical facilities.

A specialist in attacks up the rear, it left enemies unable to guard against it!

Of course, the most terrifying thing was that these bombers could also carry nuclear warheads! Besides their strategic capabilities, they had the destructive power to take the enemy down with them.

These stealth bombers were extremely expensive, costing three billion US dollars apiece.

But in Divine Creation Space, they were all free, so naturally, the more the better!

Of course, a perfect recreation of Eagle Sauce's air force would naturally be incomplete without its greatest aerial weapon, the F-22 Raptor!

This was the true core of the Eagle Sauce Air Force, with unparalleled maneuverability and supersonic cruising capability, as well as heaven-defying stealth.

The F-22 Raptor's weapon systems were entirely digitally designed, allowing it to strike enemy targets with precision no matter how extreme the combat environment.

With a single thought, Lin Ye handed Divine Creation Space an order for 500 F-22s.

These top-tier aerial units alone weren't enough to make Eagle Sauce the overlord of the skies.

Besides its monstrous combat power, another key reason the Eagle Sauce Air Force was so strong was its network of military bases spanning the globe!

These military bases ensured that Eagle Sauce's aircraft could be strategically deployed anywhere on Earth.

Lin Ye clicked lightly on Earth Online.

Ramstein, Soesterberg, Heraklion, Ankara...

Eagle Sauce military bases rose from the ground one after another across the virtual planet.

With the air force finished, the army naturally couldn't be left out.

Although Eagle Sauce's army was no match for Dragon Country's, it was definitely among the best in the world.

He set Eagle Sauce's army strength at one million: 500,000 active-duty soldiers, 300,000 reservists, and 200,000 National Guard troops.

He divided all the active-duty soldiers into ten army divisions.

One armored division, one cavalry division, five infantry divisions, one mountain division, one airborne division, and one air assault division.

Then he equipped them with 2,000 M1A3 main battle tanks!

Ten thousand armored fighting vehicles!

Three thousand artillery pieces!

One thousand air-defense missile launchers!

One thousand anti-tank missile launchers!

Two thousand mortars!

One thousand M270 Multiple Launch Rocket Systems!

There wasn't much to be particular about with an army—the guiding principle was simply the more the better! Besides, this wasn't Eagle Sauce's true main force. To experience the terror of an army, one would have to wait for the instance The Great Wall Watch to appear.

So Lin Ye didn't devote too much effort to the army.

The army and air force had basically been set up.

Once all the equipment was finished, the complete Eagle Sauce would basically be ninety percent formed.

The remaining ten percent was the most crucial part.

It was also what gave the Five Permanent Members the confidence to be called the Five Permanent Members.

That was the production of nuclear weapons!

In fact, nuclear power had already been used in those eleven nuclear-powered submarines.

But there was still a major difference between nuclear power and nuclear weapons.

One crucial difference was that the atomic bombs used in nuclear weapons relied on a fast-neutron fission system, which required highly concentrated fissile material as the charge.

A nuclear reactor, on the other hand, used slow neutrons in order to make full use of its nuclear fuel.

Fast-neutron fission required highly concentrated uranium-235, at least ninety percent or higher! So the key to whether nuclear weapons could be made was how to enrich uranium!

All of this was profound science, and even Lin Ye didn't fully understand it.

The detonation of a single atomic bomb might take a generation's efforts from an entire country to achieve. Lin Ye couldn't possibly master all that knowledge by himself.

But with Divine Creation Space there, he only needed to know the principles.

There were three ways to enrich uranium: electromagnetic isotope separation, gaseous diffusion, and the Soret Effect.

Lin Ye didn't know which was most effective, so he submitted all three methods to Divine Creation Space and let it try them itself.

After about an hour of calculations, Divine Creation Space gave its answer.

[Congratulations, designer. The principles behind the production of nuclear weapons have passed the Firmament's review. You may now use nuclear weapons in your instance!]

"Excellent!" Lin Ye couldn't help exclaiming.

Nuclear weapons were the foundation of the Five Permanent Members. Not only did Raging Waves need them, but Winter Is Coming and The Great Wall Watch would also need their support later.

By developing them all at once now, Lin Ye was also conserving his strength while preparing for what was to come, saving himself some trouble later.

Lin Ye continued transmitting information to Divine Creation Space.

One hundred nuclear reactors slowly rose from the ground on Eagle Sauce's soil.

In reality, Lin Ye had never actually seen anything like them. He had only seen models in a game called Red Alert in his previous life.

Now, seeing nuclear reactors appear in his own instance gave Lin Ye an indescribable sense of security.

During that day, he had Divine Creation Space create 10,000 atomic and hydrogen bombs for Eagle Sauce.

This was Raging Waves' true safeguard, and what Lin Ye was counting on!

If the challengers were really about to conquer Raging Waves, all ten thousand nuclear bombs would be dropped on Eastern Ocean Island.

All the challengers could experience a round of world nuclear peace.

They could experience straight-rising mushroom smoke and a long nuclear sunset over the plain!

When that happened, let alone Eastern Ocean Island, the entirety of Earth Online would be shrouded in nuclear terror and plunged straight into the apocalypse.

This trump card was there to ensure that Raging Waves could never be completely conquered.
