Advance, Warriors!
About ten minutes later, a pound of nuclear warhead was successfully placed into the missile warhead.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.
The reason they were being so cautious was because Chen Feng had told them.
If something goes wrong with this thing, the entire nuclear plant will be razed to the ground.
They naturally believed Chen Feng's words without a doubt.
It could potentially level the entire factory; no one dared to imagine how terrifying that power would be.
"Put the warhead in place," Yue Yao said.
The nuclear warhead has already been loaded into the warhead; now all that's needed is to reinstall the disassembled warhead.
But then, Chen Feng's voice suddenly rang out in the room. "Wait a minute."
Chen Feng appeared behind Yue Yao and the others without anyone noticing.
Upon seeing Chen Feng, everyone immediately bowed and greeted him.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Chen Feng looked at Yue Yao and asked, "What is the yield of this nuclear warhead?"
Yue Yao spoke:
"One hundred thousand tons of TNT equivalent!"
Yue Yao also knew what Chen Feng meant by "yield"—it referred to the explosive power of a nuclear bomb.
She has already studied the relevant materials.
Chen Feng shook his head:
"Not enough, keep adding. The limit for nuclear fission can be increased to 500,000 tons of TNT equivalent. Just add as much as possible according to the internal space of the missile warhead. If highly enriched uranium-235 is not enough, continue to separate and enrich it using centrifuges."
A yield of 100,000 tons is already terrifying in terms of power.
The Little Boy bomb that exploded in Cherry Blossom Country had a yield of only a little over 10,000 tons of TNT equivalent.
That single nuclear explosion caused the deaths of nearly 200,000 people, not to mention the radiation effects that lasted for decades.
However, nuclear fission has its limits, which is 500,000 tons of nuclear energy.
To make nuclear weapons more powerful, nuclear fusion must be added to nuclear fission, resulting in a hydrogen bomb.
The yield of a hydrogen bomb explosion is virtually limitless.
We can make it as big as we want.
For example, the largest nuclear weapon ever created in human history, "Tsar Bomba," had a yield of 50 million tons.
But it was only made once.
The countries that initially developed such high-yield nuclear weapons eventually had to reduce the yield of the Tsar Bomba.
Because a nuclear weapon with a yield of 50 million tons is only being tested, the resulting radioactive materials and nuclear fallout will cause enormous damage to the ecological environment.
Upon hearing that Chen Feng wanted to increase the yield, Yue Yao said:
"Alright, then I'll continue extracting uranium-235. But, Sect Master, just how powerful is this weapon?"
Yue Yao looked at Chen Feng curiously, and the others also looked at Chen Feng.
Although they were manufacturing nuclear weapons, they did not know exactly how powerful they were.
The TNT equivalent that Chen Feng mentioned to them was just a concept to them.
The only thing they said was that if the nuclear weapon exploded, the entire nuclear plant would be razed to the ground.
I really don't know its exact power.
Chen Feng smiled slightly:
"I can't explain the exact power to you, but you should be able to see it soon."
In fact, Chen Feng didn't know exactly how destructive a nuclear explosion would be.
Because he had never seen it with his own eyes, only in some news reports.
We'll only know for sure after the explosion.
After giving Yue Yao his instructions, Chen Feng did not leave immediately.
Instead, he stayed at the nuclear factory and worked with Yue Yao and others to enrich uranium-235 using centrifuges.
One kilogram of nuclear fuel can only yield about five percent of highly enriched uranium-235.
To manufacture an atomic bomb with a yield of approximately 300 kilotons, ten kilograms of uranium-235 are needed.
Even if Chen Feng wanted to manufacture a larger one, he couldn't, because the DF-21's warheads could only fit this many.
The nuclear fuel previously obtained from Cherry Blossom Country amounted to a full ton.
If all of it were used to extract uranium-235, approximately fifty kilograms could be obtained.
Manufacturing a 300,000-ton atomic bomb is not a problem.
Chen Feng plans to procure more materials for making hydrogen bombs when he has more time later.
The materials for hydrogen bombs are relatively easy to obtain.
Chen Feng stayed at the nuclear plant for about a day before leaving.
He was going back to the modern world to transport another batch of equipment.
The modern world, the Golden Triangle.
Jack is training his underlings at his military base.
At the training range of a military base.
Six Type 99 main battle tanks are firing at a target in the distance.
After a round of firing, only three of the six tanks successfully hit the target.
Jack cursed into the walkie-talkie:
"You've already used up twenty shells, and your accuracy is still so poor. Each shell costs fifty thousand Dragon Country currency, do you even know that?"
Hearing Jack's curses, the henchman driving the tank immediately said:
"Boss, even if we're talented, it's impossible for us to hit the bullseye every time after only firing twenty shells," the underling said, feeling quite aggrieved.
Upon hearing this, Jack immediately walked towards the tank and dragged his henchman off it.
"What, do you want me to equip you with thousands of rounds so you can hit the target accurately? Do you think this is shooting a gun?"
Jack immediately lifted the underling up.
With his improved cultivation level, Jack's power is now immense.
Lifting an adult male with one hand is no longer a problem.
Seeing Jack's anger, the henchmen around him immediately fell silent, all hanging their heads.
The henchman being held by Jack was trembling with fear.
He is now increasingly terrified of his boss, especially after Jack started drinking blood, which makes him feel even more horrified.
Just then...
Suddenly, the henchman shouted from afar:
"Boss, the boss is here!"
Upon hearing this, Jack immediately turned around and saw Chen Feng standing not far away.
The moment Jack saw Chen Feng, his fierce aura vanished instantly.
He immediately ran respectfully to Chen Feng and said, "Boss, you've arrived."
Seeing Jack's obsequious manner, the henchmen around him all had complicated expressions.
The only person Jack would treat with such respect is probably this mysterious boss.
Almost everyone here is Jack's trusted henchman.
They were all originally from the Eagle Sauce Country, following Jack.
They knew long ago that Jack had a powerful backer.
But they still don't know the boss's name or what he does.
Jack had also sternly warned them that anyone who dared to talk about the boss to outsiders would not only die, but their entire family would also be executed.
From then on, the underlings didn't even dare to discuss this mysterious boss anymore.
Chen Feng looked at the tanks and rocket launchers on the parade ground and asked:
How much heavy equipment do you have here now?
Jack replied:
"Currently, we have ten missile launchers, forty DF-21 missiles, six Type 99 tanks, ten armored vehicles, eight self-propelled artillery vehicles, and five infantry fighting vehicles."
Jack described the equipment he currently possessed.
He didn't originally have that much, but last time he spent 2.1 billion US Dragon Country.
Even though Chen Feng took half of the equipment before boarding, Jack still had plenty of heavy equipment, thanks to the stock he had bought previously.
Chen Feng nodded:
"Bring all equipment over except the missile launchers; I want to take it all away!"
There are still eleven missile launcher Xingfeng Sect.
One of the vehicles was left in the Xingfeng Sect.
The other ten vehicles are all at the forward base, which is sufficient for the current Xingfeng Sect.
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Jack asked in surprise:
"Transport them all? Boss, the Cherry Blossom Country army is coming in half a month. Without this equipment, we simply can't fight them."
With this equipment, Jack was still confident he could take on the Cherry Blossom Country army, but now that Chen Feng was going to move the equipment away, he had lost all his confidence.
Chen Feng said:
"Don't worry, I'll send it back in a few days."
Half a month in the modern world is equivalent to five months in the Painting Scroll World, which is enough time for Chen Feng.
He might even have time to properly modify his Luan Bird Sky Mothership.
We'll bring it to the modern world and show it off then.
The Luan Bird space carrier has now been sent to the military factory for modification, but it is only a preliminary modification, which involves adding some weapons and the like.
"Okay, boss."
Hearing Chen Feng say he would return it, Jack stopped worrying.
Soon, Jack contacted his underlings to have all the equipment delivered.
Tanks and armored vehicles were delivered to the open space of the military base. After delivering the equipment, Jack and his men left.
Chen Feng then began transporting these pieces of equipment one by one into the Painting Scroll World.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed in the Painting Scroll World.
For the past two weeks, the Xingfeng Sect has been intensifying their training.
Everyone is preparing for this great battle.
This time, those who directly confronted the Great Yu army were almost all inner sect martial artists, while outer sect martial artists only served as assistants.
The number of inner disciples of the Xingfeng Sect has now reached 15,000.
Apart from the 5,000 men stationed in various branches throughout the North, the remaining 10,000 are prepared to participate in this great battle.
On the huge plaza of the Xingfeng Sect.
Tanks, armored vehicles, and other heavy weapons are parked here.
The fleet includes eleven Type 99 tanks, thirteen armored personnel carriers, ten infantry fighting vehicles, and fifteen self-propelled artillery vehicles.
In addition to this equipment, thousands of vehicles were also brought here.
Tens of thousands of inner disciples of the Xingfeng Sect had gathered here in the square.
These martial artists were all equipped with various modern weapons.
Heavy machine guns, rifles, individual grenade launchers, and grenades hanging all over their bodies.
Everyone was quietly waiting in the square.
In addition to the inner sect martial artists, the outer sect martial artists also gathered, and they were responsible for logistical work, such as transporting ammunition and treating the wounded.
The outer sect martial artists all looked at the inner sect martial artists with envy on their faces.
Within the Xingfeng Sect, only inner disciples have access to firearms.
"I'm so envious. I really want to go to the front lines and fight the enemy."
"Aren't you just going to your death? Haven't you heard? There are over three hundred cultivators and a million-strong army there. We haven't even held a gun before. Going there is just suicide!"
"Exactly! We'll get credit for transporting ammunition and supplies to them!"
"As long as we accumulate enough merit, we can join the inner sect next time."
While the outer sect martial artists were discussing it.
Suddenly, a huge magic ship appeared in the sky.
This magic ship is hundreds of meters long, unlike other magic ships used by cultivators.
The French ship was equipped with several machine guns and rocket launchers on its sides, bow, and stern.
This gave the originally ethereal magic ship a touch of science fiction.
This is the Luan Bird Space Mothership, which was temporarily modified in half a year.
All the martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect looked up at the huge ship in the sky.
Everyone's face was filled with excitement, because they had already seen Chen Feng standing at the bow of the ship.
"Is this the sect leader?"
"I met the sect leader today."
"The sect leader is indeed as young as the rumors say!"
Many martial artists are discussing it.
On the Luan Bird space carrier.
Chen Feng stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the ship, with Liu Qian and Mo Chen beside him.
Liu Qian and Mo Chen also came along this time.
This battle is crucial to the survival of their Xingfeng Sect, so naturally they must go.
The space carrier hovered above the martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect.
Chen Feng looked down at the crowd and used his spiritual power to amplify his voice, saying:
"Fellow travelers, since the establishment of the Xingfeng Sect, we have gone through numerous battles, large and small, together, and have jointly protected our homeland."
"But our enemies have never disappeared; their covetousness towards us has always existed!"
"And just recently, the Great Yu Dynasty mobilized a million-strong army in an attempt to annihilate our northern border and completely destroy the homeland we are protecting!"
"For all the creatures of the North, for our homeland, we must stand up."
Even if the enemy outnumbers us, even if we are outnumbered by ten thousand, we, Xingfeng Sect, will never compromise.
Chen Feng gazed towards the northern border, his voice rising several decibels:
"Forward, warriors! Let our artillery fire tell them that those who offend Xingfeng Sect, no matter how far away, will be punished!"
Chen Feng's voice was powerful and resonated in the hearts of every Xingfeng Sect martial artist.
The warriors of the Xingfeng Sect below felt their blood boiling with excitement as they fought to protect their homeland.
This concept is deeply imprinted in the hearts of the martial artists of the Xingfeng Sect.
The North is indeed their home, and the mortals there have their families.
And everything in the Xingfeng Sect was built by them.
Everyone shouted in unison:
"Xingfeng Sect will surely win!"
"Xingfeng Sect will surely win!"
"Xingfeng Sect will surely win!"
"."
Accompanied by shouts, ten thousand inner sect martial artists armed with firearms began to quickly board the vehicles.
After everyone boarded the bus.
The tanks and armored vehicles of the Xuanwu heavy armored formation were the first to move, heading towards the Hengduan Mountain road.
Following closely behind were six thousand cars.
Meanwhile, the Luan Bird space carrier in the sky also set off.
On the Dharma ship, Liu Qian, Mo Chen, and the others were all extremely excited as they looked at the densely packed convoy below.
Chen Feng's words just now had them fired up.
Aside from Liu Gan and the others, Zhou Jing and the people in the Vermilion Bird aerial formation were also here.
Three fighter jets and five helicopters were parked on the deck of the French ship.
Chen Feng looked at Zhou Jing:
Are you sure everything is okay?
Chen Feng had the military factory modify the Sky Cloud Ship.
After half a month, a runway suitable for fighter jets had been laid on the deck of the French ship.
The most difficult part was the arresting cable.
Because fighter jets require arresting cables to land on the deck.
Chen Feng specially used Geng metal, a material only cultivators could use, to forge a specially made barrier rope.
This arresting cable is extremely rigid, capable of bringing a fighter jet to a stop in a very short time.
Zhou Jing immediately said:
"Don't worry, Sect Master, we've already test-flown it several times; we guarantee there won't be any problems!"
Zhou Jing has already gained some basic experience in piloting fighter jets.
Three members of the Suzaku formation also conducted test flights of fighter jets, and no accidents occurred.
Five others also learned how to fly armed helicopters.
Helicopters are much easier to fly than fighter jets.
The air formation consisted of three fighter jets and five helicopters.
Chen Feng nodded:
"Okay, you can go and take your positions."
After receiving Chen Feng's orders, Zhou Jing and the others immediately boarded the fighter jets and helicopters, awaiting Chen Feng's subsequent takeoff command.
The reason why fighter jets were allowed to take off from French ships was because fighter jets did not have a long range.
This is the same principle as carrier-based aircraft.
Liu Qian, who was standing nearby, then said:
"Sect Master, I now understand the purpose of this Luan Bird Sky Mothership."
A smile appeared on Liu Qian's face.
The cloud boat has now completely changed its appearance.
Not only were machine guns and rocket launchers installed around the perimeter, but other areas were also modified.
When Chen Feng mentioned the Luan Bird Space Mothership before, Liu Qian was quite puzzled about what it was for.
Now that he has these things added, he understands.
This French ship can now be used not only as a platform for fighter jets to take off, but also as an air strike force.
This truly lives up to the name of the Luan Bird Space Carrier.
Chen Feng smiled faintly:
"The current modifications are not enough. If we can install a nuclear-powered engine, then it will be a true space carrier."
Currently, this space carrier is only powered by Spirit Stone, so its speed is not very fast.
The gap between it and a space carrier is still too large; Chen Feng plans to make further modifications later.
"Where are Wang Hu and the others?" Chen Feng asked, turning the question to them.
Mo Chen, who was standing next to him, said:
"Elder Wang Hu has arrived at the western side of the Great Yu army, approximately one thousand kilometers away!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng nodded.
With Wang Hu's ten missile launchers present, he was even more confident in this engagement.
As for if that Golden True Person were to make a move, Chen Feng naturally had ways to deal with it.
Yue Yao has already installed a 300-kiloton nuclear warhead on a DF-21 missile.
The nuclear missile can be launched as soon as his order is given.
At the foot of the Hengduan Mountain.
At this moment, a group of martial arts forces have gathered here.
These martial arts factions have already received news of the invasion by the Great Yu army.
This time, however, these martial arts forces in the North are no longer fleeing the North in fear, as they did before.
The previous crises had been resolved by the Xingfeng Sect, and they had gained some confidence in the Xingfeng Sect.
From the crowd, Master Zhuo of the Iron Sword Hall spoke:
"Gentlemen, what do you think of the chances of victory for our sect in this battle?"
Upon hearing Master Zhuo's words, the other martial arts factions remained silent.
In fact, they couldn't guarantee that Xingfeng Sect would win this battle.
After all, the Great Yu Dynasty mobilized a million-strong army, including the Great Yu's most famous Shenxiao Army.
Not to mention the hundreds of cultivators.
Suddenly, the Zhang family patriarch in the crowd said, "I believe the Upper Sect will win this battle!"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the Zhang family head.
A martial arts sect leader said in surprise:
"Why is Patriarch Zhang so certain? Could it be that he has some news?"
The Zhang family head said with a smile:
"I have no information whatsoever. All I know is that if the Upper Sect loses, we will all die. Don't even think about escaping. This time, the Great Yu is clearly prepared to kill us all, so the Upper Sect can only win!"
The Zhang family head turned to look at Xingfeng City in the distance and said:
"Look at you, even these mortals from the North cheer for the Xingfeng Sect, while we only think of running away whenever we encounter a crisis in the North. Don't you all feel ashamed?"
Upon hearing Zhang's words, everyone looked at the mortals of Xingfeng City.
At this moment, countless mortals have gathered at the gate of Xingfeng City, all cheering for the Xingfeng Sect.
The leaders of all the martial arts factions had complicated expressions.
"Alas, Patriarch Zhang sees things clearly. We martial artists have always been thinking about self-preservation, and our status in the Northern Territory is even lower than that of these mortals. In this battle, my Phoenix Dance Pavilion will participate!"
The Pavilion Master of Phoenix Dance Pavilion spoke.
The other factions also spoke up.
"We'll go too! Failure means death, so we might as well fight it out!"
"That's right, let's fight a good battle together with the upper sect this time."
"I'll go and gather the men right now."
Many high-ranking members of martial arts factions began to recruit new members.
Besides the martial arts forces, Ge Yunxuan and cultivators from the Great Jin Dynasty also arrived at Xingfeng City.
"Young Master, what should we do? We've only been in the Northern Border for half a month, and the Great Yu has already sent a large army to invade."
Uncle Yuan spoke with a face full of worry.
The other members of the Great Jin royal family also showed expressions of worry.
They had only been in the northern border for a short time when the Great Yu came knocking on their door.
Ge Yunxuan scanned the crowd and said:
"It's only a matter of time before the Great Yu attacks; Xingfeng Sect already has a grudge against them."
"Since Xingfeng Sect is preparing to fight, then our Great Jin naturally cannot fall behind. The Great Yu destroyed our Great Jin, and today is the perfect day to avenge that humiliation!"
Ge Yunxuan's face was filled with fighting spirit.
Ge Tianli, who was standing next to him, asked, "Yunxuan, do you think Xingfeng Sect will win?"
The others also looked at Ge Yunxuan. The Great Yu had a Golden True Person, and Golden Core cultivators were practically invincible in Yingzhou.
Ge Yunxuan said in a deep voice:
"Uncle, if Xingfeng Sect doesn't win, we'll all die anyway. Even if we escape, where can we go? Since we're going to die no matter what, we might as well fight!"
Upon hearing Ge Yunxuan's words, everyone's expression changed, because it was indeed as Ge Yunxuan had said.
They had no way out.
Without Xingfeng Sect, they'll be the next targets of Dayu.
Just then, a series of booming sounds suddenly came from the mountain road in the Hengduan Mountain.
Thousands of vehicles appeared on the mountain road.
These vehicles formed a steel torrent, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Above this large army, a French ship was slowly sailing.
Everyone outside the Hengduan Mountain was stunned by the scene.
The most surprised were undoubtedly the members of the Great Jin royal family.
They all stared blankly at the Dharma ship in the sky. Ge Tianli exclaimed in surprise:
"Is this the Heavenly Cloud Ship of my Great Jin Dynasty?"
He recognized it from its appearance as the Heavenly Cloud Ship of their Great Jin Dynasty.
But the Sky Cloud Boat had completely changed its appearance, with many things he couldn't recognize added to its hull.
Especially at the bow, there are densely packed cannon barrels, each several meters long.
Ge Yunxuan said:
"It seems this Sky Cloud Boat has been modified by the Xingfeng Sect. I wonder what those things are for."
Without much thought, Ge Yunxuan turned to the group and said:
"Wait for me, I'm going to pay a visit to Sect Leader Chen."
If their Great Jin Dynasty wanted to participate in the war, they would naturally need Chen Feng's consent.
