Redemption

The realization of controlled nuclear fusion technology can be elevated to the level of a "world strategy".

Among them, the hydrogen bomb, derived from uncontrolled nuclear fusion technology, once brought seventy years of peace to the war-torn Blue Star.

And the controlled nuclear fusion technology we have now...

This technology could completely change the current situation of Earth's impending energy depletion, and all industries related to energy will be affected.

This was a qualitative breakthrough for the Middle-earth kingdoms and even for the entire human world, equivalent to ushering in a completely new era for human civilization and bringing about earth-shattering changes to human life.

With the completion of the verification of controlled nuclear fusion technology in the most secretive laboratory in Middle-earth and its complete realization, the status of those involved in Project Nantianmen has been elevated once again.

Its main leaders even received successive meetings with the prime minister and king of the Middle Kingdom to learn about the specific situation.

Various requests requiring cooperation from different departments were met with a smooth and unimpeded process.

Relying on its reputation for "controlled nuclear fusion technology," the Nantianmen project team operates with the full support of the entire nation.

What specific benefits will it offer...?

Xie Yusheng, an "ordinary person," couldn't sense it.

The only thing he felt was that he had inexplicably been promoted again.

It has risen from level eight to level seven.

In the Middle-earth kingdom, the transition from level seven to level six is a watershed moment for officials.

Any official of rank six or above is eligible to apply to become a noble of the kingdom.

Because almost every one of them is a big shot who heads a major department in a city.

Once one becomes a noble, it's equivalent to entering the national system, with dedicated vehicles, housing, and even dedicated drivers and bodyguards.

Although bodyguards are not equipped with firearms like fourth-level officials, once they reach this level, their status is no longer the same as that of ordinary people.

Even the law will turn a blind eye to them.

For example, if ordinary people are involved in issues such as embezzlement, even if it is only a few hundred thousand yuan, they will often be sentenced to several years, more than ten years, or even decades in prison.

But as a nobleman, even if he embezzled hundreds of millions, at most he would be dismissed and investigated. If he was lucky, he could rest for a few years or months and then be transferred to another department to be reassigned.

The saying "Punishment does not extend to high-ranking officials, and crimes do not apply to nobles" refers to officials of the sixth rank or above.

And now...

Having reached level seven, Xie Yusheng was only one step away from truly privileged status.

Reason?

"You mean you want me to refine the weapon design for 'The Chronicles of Nantianmen'?"

Xie Yusheng looked at Zhao Shanhe, a leader whose treatment had reached the standard of a fourth-level civil servant, with a somewhat bewildered expression.

"Good."

Zhao Shanhe nodded. "According to the research data provided by Team Leader Qiu's team, that 'Qianxing person' has far more advanced technology than us. If we simply give him the existing electromagnetic cannon and laser cannon technologies, he will need to review and recall the relevant knowledge again."

He laughed and said, "It's like a workshop that can produce top-notch safes. If you ask him to make a Luban box, he simply can't make it without consulting a book. It's not because the Luban box is so difficult to make, but simply because the Luban box is already obsolete for them."

Xie Yusheng understood, but still asked with doubt, "Then why weapons from the Chronicles of Nantianmen? The technology in the Chronicles of Nantianmen is at most 30 to 50 years more advanced than ours now. We can provide some more sci-fi theoretical data and ask him to help us realize it."

"We considered this issue, but later ruled it out."

Zhao Shanhe sighed, "On the one hand, there are differences between the two civilizations. Take this nuclear fusion technology, for example. They have already taught us how to build it step by step, but because they lacked a lot of basic data that they consider normal, it took us four months to complete the verification. On the other hand... it is somewhat related to the first point."

The elderly man, who is considered a top figure in the scientific research community, said with a wry smile, "Even if we provide technology that is hundreds of years ahead of its time, given the lack of many basic modules, and that 'Qianxing person' also gives feedback, we may not be able to understand it."

"Is that so?"

"Of course, the key is that the weapons in 'The Chronicles of the Southern Heavenly Gate' are in line with the things you gave us before. This way, the 'Qian Star Man' will not have any suspicions and will not think that we are using him to develop technology for us, which would cause him to be dissatisfied."

Zhao Shanhe said, "Now that controlled nuclear fusion technology has been confirmed and the higher-ups have set the tone, the appearance of this 'Qianxing person' is a huge fortuitous opportunity for our Central Kingdom. It may even be related to whether we can find our own path to self-reliance for our Central Kingdom under the encirclement of the Yanlong Kingdom, the Xingyao Federation, and the Luori Empire. Therefore, we must be extremely careful in our communication with that 'Qianxing person' and do our best to avoid any direction that may pose a risk."

"The Flame Dragon Kingdom, the Starry Federation, the Sunset Empire..."

Xie Yusheng thought of the increasingly severe international situation in recent years.

The world is gradually becoming polarized...

No!

It has already become polarized!

One of these powers is led by the three kingdoms of Yanlong Kingdom, Xingyao Federation, and Sunset Empire.

On the other side are the many countries oppressed by the "Blue Star Federation," which is led by three major nations.

The Kingdom of Middle-earth was one of them.

Many oppressed countries have now awakened and are unwilling to continue to suffer oppression.

Furthermore, the Snowfield Empire, which was originally a member of the "Blue Star" but broke away from it thirty years ago due to irreconcilable conflicts, was intentionally instigating and supporting this from behind the scenes...

A world war seemed imminent.

For a moment, he nodded solemnly.

What should I do?

"This isn't a question you're asking us, it's a question we're asking you: what do you want us to do?"

As Zhao Shanhe spoke, his expression turned slightly solemn. "Based on our meeting and research, and through modeling and analysis of the 'Qianxing people' and the exchanges between you, we have come up with the most reliable plan, or rather, the communication process, at present."

"Please speak."

Xie Yusheng also became serious.

"You will propose the weapon concepts from your 'South Heavenly Gate Chronicles,' and then our scientific team will refine the theories of those weapons for you. After that, we will send these theories to that 'Qian Star Person' for analysis to see if he can implement them! If it can be successfully implemented..."

Zhao Shanhe took a deep breath as he said this, "Even if only one of them can be achieved, it will be a leap in the strength of our Central Kingdom. Our Central Kingdom will also have more trump cards to deal with the upcoming challenges."

Xie Yusheng was quite excited upon hearing this.

Being able to participate in such a project...

Where else can you find such a good opportunity to openly and legitimately research your own "Nantianmen Chronicles" with the help of these top domestic researchers?

"I see."

Xie Yusheng nodded emphatically. "We'll start researching the electromagnetic railguns and laser cannons that should be mounted on the Xuanniao fighter jet and the Qingluan mothership!"

"Okay, we need to get it done as soon as possible."

Zhao Shanhe solemnly said, "We have received news that the three countries, led by the Starshine Federation, the Flame Dragon Kingdom, and the Sunset Empire, are planning to take action against the Snow Region Empire, which is extremely active and supports the resistance of oppressed countries everywhere... If this battle gets out of control, it will sweep the globe, and no country will be able to remain unscathed."

"World War?"

Xie Yusheng opened his eyes wide, somewhat panicked.

"To repel external aggression, we must first secure internal stability."

Zhao Shanhe did not answer directly, but said solemnly, "The projection of the immortal world in the sky is becoming clearer and clearer. If this trend continues, the two worlds will inevitably come into contact in ten or twenty years, or at the latest, several decades. At that time, the structure of Blue Star will be severely impacted. Under such circumstances, some people have proposed the idea of the 'Blue Star Federation' representing Blue Star to make contact with the new world."

"In other words, they want to unify the world!? At the very least... they need to subdue other countries, leaving only one voice on Blue Star! A voice belonging solely to the 'Blue Star Federation'!?"

Xie Yusheng felt a chill run down his spine.

Zhao Shanhe nodded.

"I see."

Xie Yusheng forced himself to recover from this shocking news. "Give me three days! After three days, I will hand over my proposed electromagnetic gun and laser gun concepts to you."

"Good."

Zhao Shanhe nodded slightly. "According to that 'Qianxing person,' he used anti-gravity technology and a new technology called psionic energy to activate and operate the Qingluan mothership and Chengying mecha. This is our next target..."

"I will try to make contact with that 'Qianxingren', but we still need to fulfill their request as soon as possible and provide them with information on the 'electromagnetic cannon' and 'laser cannon' to give them a moment of nostalgia. Communication without any demand will not last long."

Xie Yusheng said.

"We know this better than you do. The team is ready. We've brought together the nation's top experts in electromagnetic railguns and laser cannons, and we're just waiting for you."

Zhao Shanhe said with a smile.

Xie Yusheng bowed respectfully.

For a moment, I felt as if I had been given some kind of sacred mission.

"I must create the best 'Chronicles of Nantianmen'!"

The Kingdom of Middle-earth on Blue Star has decided to provide electromagnetic cannons and laser cannons with more "sci-fi" features. Meanwhile, Gu Jinlai has arrived at the Demon Refining Hall in Starlight City.

Although most of the 70,000 to 80,000 Demonic Beasts were killed by swords and cannons, he controlled the Xuan Bird fighter jet to straf the enemy and later unleashed a fatal blow, killing quite a few Demonic Beasts as well.

With the generous contributions of these Demonic Beasts...

Gu Jinlai felt that he could even try to exchange for a Dao artifact.

However, there has never been a precedent for exchanging Dao artifacts in the Heaven and Earth Universe Diagram; quasi-Dao artifacts are the limit.

Gu Jinlai, this idea has been suppressed.

Upon meeting the Lord of the Demon Refining Hall of the Starlight Palace, he immediately handed over his Universe Talisman: "Give me a new set of spirit armor. It must possess the three characteristics of being able to change size at will, being tough, and being able to withstand heavy loads."

Then he added, "Exchange all the remaining merits for spirit swords... Spirit swords only need to have the two characteristics of toughness and limitlessness; other aspects are not important."
