Chapter 715 We Need a Nuclear Reactor to Plant Trees
With the end of the Konna War, a period of large-scale construction began.
The demons have been much more behaving themselves these past few days. Apart from occasionally sending out small groups of inferior demons and winged demons to probe the perimeter of the position, they have not launched any large-scale attacks.
Those harassing troops even had difficulty getting within five kilometers of the outpost.
The defensive line, composed of drone swarms, automated turrets, patrol mechs, and satellites, will mark, lock onto, and then blast them apart in the first instance.
Having suffered repeated losses at the hands of the Great Xia, the Demon Clan seemed to realize that this newly captured territory was not something to be easily taken, and the two sides were clearly locked in a stalemate.
This gave the Great Xia its most precious possession.
time!
Kona Base is changing every day.
From high above, the portal looks like four hearts, continuously pumping the industrial lifeblood of Earth into this satellite three thousand light-years away.
While ordinary people cheered for the Great Xia's victory and entry into the new civilization, Lin Mo and other high-ranking officials were extremely busy.
Inside a meeting room in Tian Shu City.
Lin Mo looked at the screen in front of him, which had three red dots marked on it.
One is a portal that has already successfully entered Kona.
The other two locations are spatial wormholes, from which various demonic creatures continue to emerge.
And the demon god could invade Earth from here at any time.
"In other words, we'll have to keep Terra's seventh-tier powerhouses in charge of the remaining wormhole for a while longer."
Lin Mo looked up at Han Niba on the communication screen.
Han Niba nodded calmly.
"That's right."
"Currently, Great Xia only has two finished antimatter bombs."
"One is stationed at the Kona base to prevent a demonic counterattack; the other is placed in the Arctic wormhole to deter the demon god."
"The last wormhole in Antarctica does not yet have a strategic deterrent of the same level, so we can only continue to rely on seventh-tier powerhouses to buy time."
Antimatter bombs are incredibly powerful, but their production speed has always been limited by energy availability.
The good news is that there are too many demon corpses captured on the Kona battlefield.
More than 30 million demon corpses can be used to extract a large number of high-density energy blocks.
With the reserves accumulated from previous major battles, and the fact that Great Xia is accelerating the construction of a controlled nuclear fusion power plant, the antimatter production chain has been greatly accelerated.
According to the latest estimate from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the next antimatter bomb could be completed in about seven days.
Seven days.
In peacetime, it would be nothing more than a blink of an eye.
In a wormhole war, seven days would be enough for the demons to launch several invasions.
Lin Mo nodded.
"Okay, I'll talk to them and ask them to stay a few more days."
After hanging up the call, Lin Mo rubbed his temples and said:
"Let them in."
The guard at the door responded.
A few minutes later, Kyle, Thorin, Fendona, and Grom appeared.
Behind each of the four was a separate person accompanied by two others.
As soon as he entered, Thorin started shouting.
"Hey Lin, you're finally done!"
The centaur Grom smiled憨厚ly.
"Commander Lin, our orc tribe wants to confirm the trade quota as soon as possible. There are many things in the tribe that we need to buy."
Kyle didn't urge him, and nodded slightly to Lin Mo.
Fendona's emerald green eyes curved into a smile as she said:
"If you don't come soon, Elder Thorin is going to take down the chairs outside."
Thorin's beard twitched.
"Nonsense! We dwarves aren't that rude!"
Lin Mo looked at him with a smile.
well.
Still a familiar taste.
He stood up, gestured for everyone to sit down, and said:
"Sorry to keep you waiting. The battle just ended, and I'm very busy. Please forgive me."
After having the guards pour water and tea, and learning the purposes of each ethnic group, they began negotiations.
"Everyone, if we win this battle of Kona, Great Xia will never forget your help."
"The rewards previously promised to each race can be redeemed at any time for anything you need, except for restricted items, of course."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the dwarf.
"By the way, now that our Great Xia has reached the Kona satellite where the Demon Race is located, the main battlefield will most likely be there in the future."
"The nuclear bomb I promised you before probably won't have much of a chance to be used."
"If the dwarves are willing, it can be converted into trade volume with Great Xia, and Great Xia can buy it back at a high price."
As soon as those words were spoken...
The meeting room fell silent for a moment.
Fendona blinked.
Grom abruptly turned to look at Thorin.
Even Kyle's expression showed a subtle change.
nuclear bomb?
The dwarves actually talked about a nuclear bomb?
Upon hearing this, Thorin bristled and said:
"No way, unless I'm dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, he worried that the other tribes might use underhanded tactics in the future, so he quickly added a sentence.
"Even if I die, it won't do! I'll write it in my will: whoever betrays me is a traitor to the dwarves!"
"Who knows if the demons will suddenly open another spatial wormhole and come to Terra? Let's keep it for now; it's better to have something than nothing."
There was one more thing he didn't say aloud: the other races.
Even if there are no more demon invasions in the future, there will still be no peace between the various races. Keep it as a precaution.
Anyone who wants to attack the dwarves should think twice about which city a nuclear bomb might land in.
People of all ethnicities are intelligent and politically astute. They were all thoughtful and, at the same time, some regretted not having asked for it in the first place.
Dwarves have no mages, nor do they possess large-scale forbidden spells.
They survived by forging equipment and weapons.
For the dwarves, a nuclear bomb is, in a sense, their trump card to compensate for the lack of high-end deterrence.
Elves are different from holy humans.
They have seventh-level mages and powerful forbidden spells with wide-ranging effects.
The rewards that Da Xia gave them were all in the direction that each race needed most. They were not in urgent need of nuclear bombs, so they did not have a strong desire for them in the previous transactions.
As for the orcs, they actually have the most high-end combat power among all races.
What they truly lack is the wealth to change the lives of their community.
So, despite their envy, the representatives of each ethnic group did not dwell on the matter or ask the Great Xia to give them one as well.
What really got them sitting here was something else.
World Tree.
Or, to put it another way, a small, controlled nuclear fusion reactor capable of sustaining the World Tree.
Centaur Grom got straight to the point:
"Lord Lin Mo, what about that pile of stuff you promised to sell us, the stuff that can sustain the World Tree..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo laughed:
"I will not break my promise to you."
"However, you all should be well aware of what the World Tree means to a race."
"It can stabilize the ground and improve the environment. When combined with activation magic, it can also effectively prevent the demon burrowing dragons from launching surprise attacks from underground."
"More importantly, the World Tree itself continuously releases magical elements, which is what you value most, right?"
"Living in a high-magic-elemental environment for a long time should gradually improve the cultivation aptitude, awakening probability, magical affinity, and combat power of the clan members."
After he finished speaking, no one in the conference room objected.
This is a fact that has been rumored on the continent of Terra for thousands of years.
Why is the World Tree the foundation of the Elven race? Why are Elves born with an affinity for magic?
Not just because it bears the fruit of life.
More importantly, it is a miracle in itself that can change the environment and the future of a people.
In the past, it wasn't that the various ethnic groups didn't want to plant.
It's something that can't be done.
A World Tree needs to rely on a large energy crystal vein, but where are there so many of these veins?
Moreover, the energy crystals digested by the World Tree are enough to make any race's scalp tingle.
But now, the Great Xia has presented them with another path.
No need for mineral veins or massive amounts of energy crystals.
All they need is a reactor system that they can't understand at all, but which has already been verified by Great Xia!
