"Not to leave the Dao Academy, but to serve in the military forever!" General Zhou's eyes burned like a furnace as he spoke in a low voice that naturally carried a hint of murderous intent.
"This …" Wang Baole paused when he heard General Zhou's words. What General Zhou said was extremely sudden to him. He hadn't thought that there would be such a thing behind this battle.
From the perspective of the upper echelons of the Federation, this was the right choice in the face of unexpected variables. He was familiar with the high officials' autobiographies, so he could understand this choice. However, as a minor character who lived with the soldiers at the same time, he was still concerned about this choice.
"If I become the president of the Federation, what would I choose …" Wang Baole was silent. He didn't know what the future held, but he believed that if that day came, his choice would definitely be worthy of his heart.
General Zhou clearly didn't expect Wang Baole to give an answer immediately. After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Baole and spoke slowly.
"I know that this isn't a small matter and that you need to consider it carefully, so you don't have to give me an answer immediately …" General Zhou felt that he had already explained the pros and cons, and that Wang Baole would naturally remember what he had said today once he made his judgment. Therefore, he waved his hand and was about to continue when Wang Baole hesitated and couldn't help but ask a question.
"General Zhou, that … after joining the military, can I become the president of the Federation?"
"What's that?" General Zhou paused, his expression a little strange.
"The president of the Federation." Wang Baole suppressed the thoughts that had arisen from General Zhou's words and hurriedly repeated himself, looking at General Zhou expectantly.
"… The military is not allowed to participate in politics. If you want to become the president of the Federation, you can only rebel in the future. Do you plan to rebel?" General Zhou asked faintly after a moment.
When Wang Baole heard this, Wang Baole's body trembled and he laughed dryly.
"General Zhou, you said before that joining the military wasn't urgent. That … I'll think about it later."
General Zhou was silent. He looked at Wang Baole a few more times and smiled after a while.
"Wang Baole, the military isn't as simple as you think … Do you know why I said just now that the Federation is about to fall into chaos, only the military is above us?"
Wang Baole was at a loss and shook his head. He really didn't know about this, but seeing how confident General Zhou was, he shook his head and immediately assumed a trusting attitude.
Ignoring Wang Baole's expression, General Zhou placed his hands behind his back and turned to look at the map.
With that, General Zhou looked over at Wang Baole. Clearly, he was waiting for Wang Baole to ask. "Our military might not have as many cultivators as the other powers, nor do we have as many resources as they do. However … we do have a heaven-shaking trump card!"
In reality, he did not intend to reveal the specifics of his ultimate move. He only wanted to let Wang Baole know that he had made the right choice in choosing the military. He thought that after Wang Baole asked him about it, he would give him a vague explanation. His goal was to pique Wang Baole's interest, and that would be enough.
Wang Baole blinked. He felt that General Zhou's aura seemed to have changed when he said the words "heaven-shaking trump card." However, Wang Baole felt that this method of arousing the other party's curiosity was something he had learned since he was three years old. He thought that after he asked the question, the other party would be deliberately mystifying. In the end, it wasn't certain whether the other party would answer or not. If he wanted to know, he should do the opposite, so … he didn't ask.
Just like that … General Zhou waited for a long time, but Wang Baole still didn't open his mouth to ask. Gradually, his expression became a little tense.
Seeing the change in General Zhou's expression, Wang Baole sighed. He felt that the other party was more powerful than him. If he backed down, it wouldn't be embarrassing.
Therefore, he asked, "What trump card?"
Hearing Wang Baole's words, General Zhou took a deep breath. Although he saw through Wang Baole's little trick, he still felt that it was necessary for him to popularize the power of the military to Wang Baole. Therefore, he raised his head and looked at the wall of the tent. It was as if his gaze could penetrate it and look into the distance.
"Although the appearance of spirit energy interfered with the fission and fusion of atoms, causing all the nuclear bombs on Earth to become ineffective and can no longer be used … in the past few years, our military has developed two bombs that are much, much more powerful than nuclear bombs … subblack hole bombs."
"These two substandard black hole bombs are our military's heaven-shaking trump card!"
As soon as General Zhou said this, Wang Baole, who didn't pay much attention to it, suddenly felt a boom in his heart. His eyes suddenly widened, and he cried out involuntarily.
"What's that?"
It was true that even if he was born in the Spirit Inception Era and didn't experience the technological civilization of the Federation before the ancient green-bronze sword came, he still knew a lot about the terror and power of nuclear bombs from his parents and some history books.
It was just that he was already used to the appearance of spirit energy, which changed the structure of matter and became a new energy source. Thus, too many technological products of the past were eliminated in the Spirit Inception Era. General Zhou's words made Wang Baole feel unfamiliar and at the same time, he also felt a sense of incredulity.
Seeing Wang Baole's shock, General Zhou felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. With his hands behind his back, he said faintly, "What I'm talking about is theoretically, if twenty of them are detonated at the same time, they can wipe out most of the creatures and shatter most of the earth … substandard black hole bombs!"
"It's just a pity that the development of substandard black hole bombs is too difficult. The materials required are even rarer. Therefore, after so many years, only two of them have been successfully developed. Moreover, they can't achieve the effect of a real black hole bomb. It's not enough to destroy the sea of Direbeasts because there are some individuals among the Direbeasts that are incomparably powerful. At the same time, there may be legendary beasts hibernating …"
"Even so, these two substandard black hole bombs are enough to deter others. After all, sometimes, it's better not to use them than to use them!"
"I told you before that the Federation's borders were safe for twenty years. The deterrence of the substandard black hole bombs is also one of the effects!"
Wang Baole's breathing was a little unstable, and his mind was in a mess. He only felt that General Zhou at this moment was much more powerful than before. Even the military in his eyes had suddenly become incomparably mysterious.
Satisfied with Wang Baole's shock, General Zhou spoke again slowly.
"Don't underestimate the Federation's technological power. Although the appearance of spirit energy has changed many things … currently, the Federation is researching how to combine spirit energy with the theory of substandard black hole bombs. They want to create a real antimatter bomb, which is a black hole bomb. Of course, the name has been changed. It might be more appropriate to call it an anti-spirit bomb!"
"Once it succeeds … the Federation will have a part of … God's power!" General Zhou's voice was leisurely. After he finished speaking, he looked at Wang Baole, who was already in a daze. He smiled and gave Wang Baole a jade medal.
"This medal represents the friendship of the military. With this medal, you can ask the seventh primary fortress, including me … to help you once, as long as it doesn't violate our principles!"
Wang Baole's breathing quickened. He took the medal in a daze. His mind was still in shock about the substandard black hole bombs that General Zhou had mentioned. After a while, he took a deep breath. Although his mind was still not calm, he suppressed the shock. When he looked at the medal in his hand, he immediately realized that it was extremely valuable.
"Ask the seventh primary fortress, including General Zhou … to help me once?" Wang Baole's eyes narrowed. He knew that this was the biggest reward he had received this time. It was equivalent to a protective talisman. Even if he didn't use it, it would be very effective to scare others. Therefore, he took a deep breath and hurriedly bowed to General Zhou with cupped fists.
"Thank you, General Zhou!"
Seeing that Wang Baole realized the value of the medal, General Zhou smiled slightly.
"Your contributions will be recorded. A copy will be sent to the Federation and a copy will be sent to Ethereal Dao College. When the time comes, you will be rewarded." After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Wang Baole, how did you modify the Fire God Cannon?"
Wang Baole didn't hesitate at all. He immediately took out a jade slip from his storage bracelet and handed it to General Zhou. In fact, he was already prepared. He knew that the final power of the Fire God Cannon would definitely attract attention. Although he didn't know how to control the mutation, he had recorded many of the Fire God Cannon's mutated Inscriptions.
Wang Baole naturally wouldn't hide the fact that any modification could greatly increase the combat power of the fortress. He recorded all the changes he knew of in the jade slip.
However, as a Dharmic Armament cultivator, Wang Baole also had a deep understanding of the Fire God Cannon. He understood that such modifications were too difficult. It would take a long time to complete and would take a long time to experiment.
As for how to explain his successful modification, it didn't need to be explained in detail. Inspiration and luck would suffice. After all, he was a Dharmic Armament cultivator himself. Moreover, according to the archives of Ethereal Dao College, his attainments in Inscriptions were astonishing.
After receiving the jade slip, General Zhou looked at Wang Baole with a warm smile. Wang Baole had made great contributions to the fortress and was a disciple of Ethereal Dao College. Therefore, even if Wang Baole hadn't given him the jade slip, General Zhou wouldn't have said much. After all, Zhou Dexi wasn't willing to do such a chilling act of seizing. He didn't care to do it.
Therefore, he chatted with Wang Baole for a while longer before ending the meeting. Before leaving, Wang Baole hesitated for a moment. He turned back to look at General Zhou with anticipation in his eyes and asked tentatively.
"Erm … General Zhou, do you have any Foundation Establishment beast teeth here? Recently, I need them for weapon refinement … "
General Zhou smiled when he heard this. With a wave of his right hand, three black beast teeth flew towards Wang Baole.
"All the materials from the beast king's body have to be recorded. I can't give them to you immediately. After some time, I'll give you one of the beast king's teeth. Now, I can give you these three Foundation Establishment beast teeth first."
Seeing the beast teeth, Wang Baole's eyes lit up. He quickly took them and left happily. After finding Chen Yutong, he quickly boarded the cruiser with Chen Yutong, Zhou Penghai, and Sun Fang and returned to Ethereal Dao College.
As the cruiser took off and sped away, Wang Baole, Chen Yutong, and the other three stood in the cruiser. They couldn't help but look at the gradually shrinking fortress. Each of them had different emotions. There was sadness and reluctance to part, mixed feelings and bitterness, and even palpitations. Although it wasn't as if a lifetime had passed, it wasn't that far off.
At the same time, General Zhou also walked out of the military tent. When he looked up, he saw Wang Baole and company leaving on the cruiser. He stared at it for a long time, and his eyes gradually filled with admiration.
