"In that case, how about locating the nuclear power plant on the moon? It's safe enough, and there won't be any outside interference."
Old Tang thought about it and chose a location.
After all, nuclear power plants are extremely important. On Earth Star, the location would be a problem, but on the Moon, it's different. The entire Moon is currently being developed by Divine Land, and there's no place for other countries to set up operations there, making it much easier to build than on Earth Star.
Moreover, if placed on the moon, the scale of the nuclear power plant can be made much larger, without any limitations.
"Sure, no problem."
It would be perfect for the moon; besides a nuclear power plant, the extra space could be used to store other things.
"Hmm, how difficult is it to make this Space Bag? Can it be mass-produced?"
After discussing the nuclear power plant, Old Tang asked a question.
"The refining difficulty isn't very high, but the theoretical knowledge required is somewhat complex, and it requires a lot of energy. This small Space Bag basically emptied out the nuclear power plant in Liaodong, plus all my Magic Power. I can only say that refining a few individually is possible, but mass production is somewhat unrealistic at this stage."
Li Xingkong and realized that the biggest problem in the refining process was still related to energy. This was a hard requirement, and there was basically no room for maneuver.
After hearing what Li Xingkong said, Old Tang temporarily gave up the idea of equipping the military with this thing. He knew how much electricity the nuclear power plant in Liaodong could generate, which was basically enough to supply the electricity needs of the entire North China. However, it was still not enough to make Space Bag. It could only be said that before energy development reached the next stage, this Space Bag could not be equipped with it.
"In that case, if we have time, we can buy a few from you."
Since mass production is impossible, it would be good to get one or two for research purposes.
"That's fine. As long as we have enough energy and materials, refining a few more won't be a problem."
Li Xingkong had no objection to this, after all, no one stipulated that a person could only carry one Space Bag. If he wanted, he could easily become a "ten-bag elder" of the Beggars' Sect.
The only pity is that his current spatial theory is only superficial; he can't nest Space Bag together yet, and one Space Bag can't transfer data to other Space Bag. Doing so could very likely cause the constructed spatial tunnel to collapse.
One is used for External Core, and the other for storage; that's basically enough. There's no need for anything more.
Anyway, I still need to refine a few more, so refining a few more and sending them to Divine Land for use is not a problem. After all, most of the energy in the refining process comes from Divine Land, so it can be considered as rent for a nuclear power plant.
"By the way, our territory has changed a lot lately. Shouldn't we work on more of these Earth Vein?"
With his own affairs settled, Li Xingkong the news he had recently seen: Divine Land had basically taken over the entire Southeast Asia, so the demand for Spiritual Qi had naturally been put back on the agenda.
"There's no rush. After all, although the territory has been annexed, those who are not of our race will surely have different intentions. The integration of ethnicities and cultures will probably take several decades of governance to fully resolve. Until then, we are not at ease teaching them the path of cultivation."
Old Tang's words were clearly the result of discussions within Divine Land. It was only a nominal merger, but in reality, the relationship between Divine Land and these smaller countries that had been incorporated was not as harmonious as one might imagine.
"By the way, I noticed there are still a few small countries struggling around here? And there hasn't been any movement from Ryukyu yet?"
Although the small countries bordering China in the southeast have submitted, there are still a few places that haven't made a move. First is Stick Country; they still can't distinguish between primary and secondary matters and are determined to follow the Eagle Country. Then there's Ryukyu, which hasn't communicated with Divine Land yet, and it's unclear what they're thinking.
Speaking of this, Old Tang has firsthand information.
" The Stick Country have always been a bit dim-witted, but we never expected them to submit, nor did we plan to wage war against them."
"Why is that? They've been going against us quite a bit these past few years!"
"We've discussed this matter. Although our ultimate goal is to unify the world, we still need to differentiate our approach at this stage. We should extend goodwill to friendly countries and adopt a strategy of befriending distant nations while attacking nearby ones. It's not too late to consolidate our surrounding territories before taking action."
"As for Stick Country, you should know that Stick Country has a friendly neighbor to its north."
You mean... the Chao Country?
Li Xingkong didn't know much about this mysterious country; its presence outside the country was extremely limited.
"Yes, although it's a small country, strictly speaking, there are only a handful of socialist countries in the world right now, and it truly is a like-minded and friendly neighbor."
"So, why don't we just leave Chao Country alone? Why keep the Stick Country?"
"Only when everyone prospers together will others share our losses. If we're the only ones eating the meat, won't others get a drop of soup?"
Old Tang smiled.
"So, we'll leave this Stick Country to Chao Country to deal with?"
Li Xingkong understood; this meant they weren't planning to take action themselves, but rather to leave the Stick Country to Chao Country.
"Our new type of firepower support has arrived in Chao Country. A war there is only a few days away."
"As for Ryukyu, the outcome will probably be decided in the next few days. They have even more fun going on there right now, but they're not making it public."
Having discussed Stick Country, let's move on to Ryukyu. Ryukyu has been Chinese territory since ancient times, and this remains true even in modern times. Therefore, the fact that Divine Land hasn't directly taken it over by force at this stage is partly a test for them.
I've always considered you all family. It's up to you how you think about it. If you obediently come home, that's fine; I've even prepared Spiritual Qi and Earth Vein for you. If you don't behave, then don't blame me for taking action against you.
"Currently, a fierce internal struggle has broken out in Ryukyu, basically dividing it into two factions: the surrender faction and the diehard faction. The surrender faction advocates immediate surrender to Divine Land, while the diehard faction advocates not losing an inch of territory and waging war against foreign powers. Ironically, the leaders of the diehard faction are mostly in the Eagle Country now, with very few remaining on the island."
"Since they're already in chaos internally, why don't we just give them the final push, kick the door open, and go in?"
Li Xingkong's thinking was simple: wasn't this the best opportunity to attack?
"Given the current situation, we probably won't need to do anything; the results should be out in a few days."
Old Tang sees more of the current situation than anyone else.
"Although the die-hards in Ryukyu are making a lot of noise, the young people aren't easily fooled. War means death, and if a real war breaks out, it will be them who die, not the die-hards in high positions in the Eagle Country. So the more the die-hards clamor, the stronger the opposition is at the grassroots level in Ryukyu. I estimate that there will be changes there in the next few days."
Sometimes, changes in the world order are like a bomb; once detonated, all sorts of changes erupt like an explosion, and no one knows what will happen next.
"By the way, speaking of this, you know, that bigwig from the Middle East has applied to merge with Divine Land no less than five times. Although he's been rejected several times, he's still applying."
There's not much to say about what Li Xingkong has already seen in the news, but Old Tang has given him some inside information.
"Besides the big dog-like countries, there are also more than a dozen small countries in Africa that have made similar requests. Their military personnel are mostly graduates of the Shijiazhuang Military Academy and have always maintained contact with China. In the current world situation, they can't stay out of it, and they all want to rely on a powerful country for support."
"Ah... Li Xingkong has actually been paying attention to things in other places. It turns out that things are much busier here in Divine Land than he imagined."
