Shen Lang rode the giant dragon and slowly flew to the top of the pyramid to look at the Wangtian totem.
"Senior, do you want to come down for a chat?" Shen Lang said. "To a certain extent, you are our ancestor and our totem. You might not know this, but even in ancient times, there were many statues of you. There were even temples built for you. For a long time, I even thought those statues were your fossils. "
The Wangtian totem didn't say anything. Back then, he wasn't the only savior of the Ancient Empire. There were many powerful and wise people who tried all kinds of methods to save the world.
But basically all of them failed, and only his statue was preserved until now. This was because he was walking on the path of a high-level dragon comprehension.
But the other ancient saviors were also very impressive. After the first Great Nirvana, they at least preserved the spark of civilization. That was why there was a second ancient human empire.
But Wangtian didn't want to talk about this with Shen Lang. Because he was indeed an ancestor and a totem. But he didn't complete high-level dragon enlightenment. Jiang Li and Shen Lang did. This meant that the descendants surpassed the ancestors.
It was a good thing that the new generation surpassed the old, but it was also a little sad. As an ancestor, although I'm willing to help you, don't I care about my reputation? Let's not meet each other in the future.
So Queen Medusa was right. As a totem, it was better to stay on the throne and not come down. Otherwise, everyone would be embarrassed.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk to me?" Shen Lang asked.
Wangtian didn't move. Even his eyeballs didn't move. It was as if he had returned to his statue mode. But everyone knew that he had awakened. Basically, he couldn't go back to his previous statue mode.
"Okay then." Shen Lang said awkwardly. Then, he took out an energy crystal and slowly floated into the pyramid's energy control center.
Because the energy control center of Mojing had been exhausted, without the energy shield, the entire ecosystem of Mojing would be completely destroyed.
So Shen Lang needed energy crystals to maintain the entire operation of Mojing.
… …
Two days later!
Princess Ji Xuan of the Abyss Province came to visit Mo Jing, and the route between the two places was officially opened. Every day, there would be a Sky Fortress flying between Mana Crystal and the Abyss Province. If there was a greater demand in the future, more Sky Fortresses would be used.
The Great Qian Empire was having a small-scale high-level meeting.
There was only one topic: when would the northern expedition begin? When would they take back the eastern world and the Xilun Empire? When would they fight against Jiang Li?
"Let me tell you my opinion." Zuo Ci said, "Jiang Li has always been in the North Pole. The Hell Crystals there should occupy most of the entire world."
"Ninety-five percent." Shen Lang: "Jiang Li's goal was to absorb the energy and matter of the entire planet to build an unprecedented spaceship. Before the next Great Nirvana Annihilation, he would lead hundreds of thousands of ancient Homo Evolutis away from this planet to occupy or destroy another planet full of vitality. Like a swarm of locusts, they would devour the energy of another planet in the shortest amount of time possible and then continue to expand, finally completing his dream of a sea of stars. It was a destructive expansion, not a developmental expansion."
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. The entire Jiang Empire had 200 provinces, which meant that there were 200 domed cities. However, the Hell Crystals in these cities added up to less than five percent. And a mere North Pole had ninety-five percent?
In other words, Jiang Li had almost endless power in the North Pole. He had the power of a god.
Zuo Ci said, "Therefore, I think Your Majesty should first cut off all the Hell Crystal energy channels before fighting Jiang Li. In other words, you should stop his devouring of the entire planet."
Everyone agreed with this point. Jiang Li had occupied most of the planet. Although he had recently lost hundreds of thousands of troops and hundreds of giant Sky Fortresses.
However, these losses were negligible to him. Because he was constantly devouring the energy of the planet, he was getting stronger every day.
In other words, his growth far exceeded his consumption.
This was equivalent to the Pacific War during World War II. Although the US didn't fight well and suffered great losses. But when one of his battleships was sunk, a few new ones were launched. Nepal, which lacked resources and was relatively weak, was in despair in the face of such a situation.
"But after the upheaval in the North Pole, the ecology and climate of this world have changed greatly." Zuo Ci said, "Although Jiang Li is guilty of the most heinous crimes, his domed energy shield and his city system are the foundation for the survival of human civilization. Once the Hell Crystal energy shield is destroyed, every domed city will stop devouring the energy of the planet's core. The entire city will be paralyzed, and millions of people will die. "
As soon as he said that, everyone nodded in agreement.
Jiang Li first destroyed the entire ecosystem of the world and then rebuilt a new system. Therefore, his domed cities and his Hell Probes were evil, but without them, the people couldn't survive.
The temperature outside was -70 to 80 degrees Celsius, and the air was so thin that it was less than half. Once the domed cities of Jiang Li's empire were destroyed, millions of people wouldn't even be able to survive for a day.
Zuo Ci said, "Therefore, while we take back the empire's territory, we must also think of a way to replace Jiang Li's domed cities. We won't devour the vitality of this planet, but how can we build a new energy system that can sustain the survival of hundreds of millions of people? This is the hardest part. If it's just the northern expedition, it's easy to cut off all the energy channels between the domed cities and the North Pole. Because His Majesty is extremely powerful and has two giant dragons, unless Jiang Li personally takes action, he's invincible. "
Ning Han said, "I agree. The duel between His Majesty Shen Lang and Jiang Li isn't just a battle of life and death. More importantly, it's about two completely different energy systems. We need to prove that our system is far more advanced than Jiang Li's. "
Princess Ji Xuan said, "Very well said. We don't just need to take back the empire's territory with force. More importantly, we need to maintain the safety of hundreds of millions of people and replace Jiang Li's city energy system. Therefore, I want to tell everyone a piece of good news. With the hard work of Grand Secretary Twain and Prince Gregory, our brand-new energy core has been tested and proven. Next, we can create the first giant nuclear energy core, also known as a nuclear power device. "
This was the good news brought by Princess Ji Xuan. Because of Shen Lang's return, the geniuses of Grand Secretary Twain and Prince Gregory burst forth and completed the final step, completing the new nuclear energy core experiment. With the Hell Crystal as the nuclear fission buffer and the White Jade Capital's domed energy shield as the protective shield, the entire nuclear energy core was perfect, even more perfect than the modern Earth's.
This was truly the pinnacle of the combination of ancient civilization and technological civilization.
Princess Ji Xuan said, "Currently, this new nuclear energy core can provide more than a hundred times the energy of the ancient energy core. Therefore, as long as we can create enough nuclear energy cores, we can completely replace the energy system of Jiang Li's empire. We can continue to provide domed energy shields for every city and continue to provide energy for every city, but we won't devour the vitality of this planet. "
This news was really exciting. It was even more exciting than the first time they won the Battle of Mojing.
Because, this was the real hope. To Zuo Ci, Ning Han, Zhu Hongxue, and the others, defeating and eliminating Jiang Li was not the most important thing. The key was how to defeat his energy system, how to prove that His Majesty Shen Lang's other path of salvation could be taken.
Now, the real light had appeared. His Majesty Shen Lang could provide incomparably powerful energy without devouring the vitality of a planet.
After hearing this news, Zuo Ci and Zhu Hongxue couldn't help but want to shout, "Long live His Majesty Shen Lang!"
Princess Ji Xuan said, "When His Majesty Shen Lang returned from the West, the first city he conquered was the Raging Tide City, representing his return as a king. Then, I suggest that our first target of the northern expedition be the Raging Tide City. "
Her meaning was very clear to everyone. She wanted to use the Raging Tide City as the experimental ground for Shen Lang's brand new civilization system and become a benchmark.
This would let the Jiang Li Empire see clearly how advanced the energy system of Shen Lang's new civilization system was. They didn't need to devour planets to maintain the huge amount of energy needed for their civilization. This would also be a huge blow to Jiang Li's faith.
Zuo Ci said, "Your Majesty, Mo Capital's energy is almost completely exhausted. If we take back the Raging Tide City and build a brand new energy system, the hundreds of thousands of people in Mo Capital will be willing to migrate back to the Raging Tide City. "
Zuo Ci's statement was very impressive because Shen Lang's nuclear energy system had not been tested yet. It was completely unknown whether it could succeed or not, and whether it could sustain the survival of hundreds of thousands of people.
Moreover, this place was very close to the Jiang Li Empire's main camp. It was very dangerous, and the hundreds of thousands of people in Mo Capital were willing to become experimental subjects.
"Alright!" Shen Lang agreed directly.
Compared to the Raging Tide City, Mo Capital was indeed a dead land. There was no longer any meaning in defending it.
The decision was made in this meeting. They would launch the northern expedition as soon as possible and return to the Raging Tide City. Because only the Raging Tide City represented the significance of Shen Lang's return as a king.
A few decades ago, the Raging Tide City represented the advancement of the Da Qian Empire in Shen Lang. Today, it would once again prove this point.
Of course, Shen Lang had thought of experimenting with this new nuclear energy system in Mo Capital first. After ensuring that there were no problems, they would then experiment in the Raging Tide City. However, it was not possible because the Sky Gazing Totem in Mo Capital also rejected nuclear radiation. It was even afraid of it.
This was also good. As the temporary capital of the Da Qian Empire, the Raging Tide City represented exploration and bravery. It represented a new direction of development.
After the meeting ended, Shen Lang and Shen Mi left Mo Capital on the giant dragon and returned to the Abyssal Crack!
… …
In the pyramid of the Abyssal Crack, Shen Lang saw the first prototype of the nuclear energy core.
It was much smaller and more advanced than he had imagined. It was not at all huge and cumbersome like the nuclear reactors on Earth.
"Your Majesty, the concentration of the uranium does not exceed five percent." Grand Secretary Twain said, "Of course, this radiation is already very shocking. On the contrary, it is not dangerous at all because it and the Hell Crystal hate each other and reject each other. It can achieve a perfect balance. Of course, both the uranium and the Hell Crystal are very dangerous. Therefore, the dome energy shield of the White Jade Capital is very important. It can completely envelop and shield these two substances. What is even more amazing is that the dome of the White Jade Capital can be built into an energy channel to continuously transport the energy of the uranium reaction.
"Just from this point alone, Adolf's contribution is huge. Because the energy shield system of the White Jade Capital was completed by him and he contributed to it."
Hearing this, Shen Lang could not help but feel emotional. More than 30 years ago, Shen Lang had wanted to obtain Adolf's loyalty because he was a genius of the Energy Civilization.
Speaking of the nuclear energy core, the reactor alone was not enough. The most important thing was to convert the uranium reaction energy into the required energy.
"We originally designed a more advanced energy conversion and distribution system," Grand Secretary Twain said. "It is the device you see in front of you, but we have not completed it yet. Don't worry, it has been proven in theory."
Shen Lang saw a densely packed Nightmare Stone device. It was huge and weighed a few tons. There were all kinds of crystals and secret metals inside.
"Of course, because time is too tight, we can only use the ancient energy core that is more backward," Grand Secretary Twain said. "First, convert the uranium reaction energy into heat energy, then store it in the metal hydrogen energy core, and then release it to the entire city. Of course, this method is too backward. If Raging Tidewater has a population of 500,000, then we will need more than 100 metal hydrogen energy cores as energy storage devices. But our new energy distribution system is not perfect yet. It will take a few more months. "
"There is another perfect point about this nuclear power core. If we do not need so much nuclear energy, we can completely adjust the number of Hell Crystals. This will suppress the nuclear reaction and reduce or increase the output of nuclear energy. " Grand Secretary Twain was indeed a super technical maniac. When it came to technology, he could not stop talking.
"Of course, 70% of this entire system is the work of Prince Gregory. His genius really makes me feel inferior," Grand Secretary Twain said. Grand Secretary Twain said, "It's hard to imagine. If it weren't for Gregory, I would need at least another ten years to complete this nuclear power core."
Shen Lang asked, "How much uranium do we have in storage?"
Grand Secretary Twain said, "Your Majesty, you have touched our sore spot. Although we have also tried to mine uranium, and there is in fact, in the seabed not far away, but … it is too thin, and the mining process is too difficult and dangerous. So in the past ten years, we have only mined and refined less than 150 kilograms of uranium. "
This amount is really too little. Our country mines tens of thousands of tons of uranium a year on modern Earth.
The known uranium reserves on Earth are more than 10 million tons, and the undiscovered or unannounced reserves far exceed this number.
Shen Lang had already inspected this planet. The uranium reserves on this planet were higher than Earth's, but the difficulty of mining was really too high.
But now it was different, because Shen Lang had a dragon. Moreover, it was Shen Yilong, who had been reborn and baptized by high-level dragon enlightenment. Even its mid-level dragon enlightenment was completed during nuclear fission.
And at the seabed about three thousand miles away from the abyss crack, there was a huge uranium mine. In these seabed rocks, the uranium content of each ton was surprisingly high.
Shen Lang said, "Dragon, go to the seabed in this area and swallow the uranium inside. But remember not to let them fission. I want complete uranium, but don't purify it too much. About 5% is enough."
"Understood." Shen Yilong nodded and flew out.
It will let its master understand what a real miner is.
Huh? Why is it a miner? I am clearly a noble dragon, but now that I have become a miner, I have become so arrogant?
It has to be said that the reborn dragon was no longer as arrogant as before. It was completely like a superstar.
The female dragon of the Ji family also wanted to fly over. She couldn't absorb uranium, and she even hated it, but she could stay by Shen Yilong's side.
Seeing this, Shen Lang felt a little helpless. It seemed that these two dragons really had a relationship beyond friendship? But … The female dragon of the Ji family should be much older than the dragon of the Jiang family.
Shen Lang said, "Ji Long 'er, you also have a mission. Your mission is …"
Forget it, it was too complicated. The dragon of the Ji family probably wouldn't understand. This was definitely a delicate task. Moreover, Shen Lang and Shen Yilong's souls were the same. Shen Lang didn't even need to give a direct order for Shen Yilong to know what to do, but Ji Long 'er might not.
What was Shen Lang going to do? Of course, he was going to start the hydrogen bomb project.
There were several types of nuclear fusion. For example, the nuclear fusion of helium-3 was mainly to provide pure energy.
The nuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium was much more intense. It was a hydrogen bomb.
Deuterium and tritium were both isotopes of hydrogen. Deuterium had an extra neutron and was called heavy hydrogen. Tritium, on the other hand, had two extra neutrons and was called super heavy hydrogen.
Therefore, to make a hydrogen bomb, one needed a large amount of heavy hydrogen or super heavy hydrogen and then detonated it with a nuclear bomb.
Then where was the heavy hydrogen? In the vast sea, it was everywhere.
In natural water, there was about 0.015% heavy water, and heavy hydrogen could be broken down from heavy water.
Of course, there was no difference between water and heavy water on the surface. They were all water, but the density of heavy water was slightly higher, and the boiling point was also different. Under normal circumstances, the boiling point of ordinary water was 100 degrees Celsius, while the boiling point of heavy water was 101.42 degrees Celsius.
Using the difference in boiling points, heavy water could be extracted by distillation. Of course, this was only the first step. The second step was to break down the heavy hydrogen from the heavy water, which required a huge amount of energy. Therefore, even though the principle was very simple, there were very few countries on modern Earth that could make hydrogen bombs.
However, this was a piece of cake for Shen Lang. It was even easier to use than any machine in the world.
He could even skip the process of extracting heavy water and directly break down the heavy hydrogen from the seawater.
Actually, Jiang Li could also do this easily, but he didn't have the concept.
The Advanced Dragon Perception was a very, very powerful energy system.
Shen Lang came to the surface of the sea! He entered the Advanced Dragon Perception realm and gently waved his hand.
Countless heavy hydrogen elements directly separated from the seawater and rose into the sky.
When the heavy hydrogen was extracted, it was almost completely invisible. It was like the thinnest air, floating on the surface of the sea without escaping. This was because Shen Lang could firmly control each and every one of them.
This was the heaven-defying aspect of the Advanced Dragon Perception.
The heavy hydrogen on the surface of the sea increased, and more and more. Then, it began to condense and condense.
In the end, it directly condensed into a solid state. In just a few hours, it had broken down and refined ten tons of heavy hydrogen.
This ability was too amazing, even far exceeding any modern industrial system on Earth. As long as Shen Lang was willing, he could refine and decompose hundreds or even thousands of tons of heavy hydrogen in a short period of time. And how many hydrogen bombs could this heavy hydrogen make? Only heaven knew!
Therefore, it took Shen Lang's Da Qian Empire more than 30 years to complete the Doomsday Plan and successfully make a nuclear bomb.
However, the time needed to make a hydrogen bomb was much, much, much shorter. It could be completed in a few months.
This was because Shen Lang had already completed the most difficult part. For Twain and Gregory, they had an almost inexhaustible supply of heavy hydrogen.
Now, what they needed to do was to start the design and experiment of the hydrogen bomb according to Shen Lang's theory.
On the other side, Shen Yilong also began his magnificent performance. The entire Abyss Province spent a whole ten years to mine more than 100 kilograms of uranium, and the purity was not high.
On the other hand, Shen Yilong only used a few hours to swallow two tons of uranium. Although the purity was only 5%, it was completely enough to be used as an energy core.
With the Dragon, the productivity of the Da Qian Empire had increased countless times.
Swallowing and refining uranium was just a small test for the Dragon. Its biggest contribution in the future might be to go to the distant moon to mine helium-3. Only it could easily fly to that place.
Helium-3 was currently the ultimate known energy source.
… …
With Shen Lang's high-level understanding of the dragon and the giant dragon, Grand Secretary Twain and Gregory's team had an almost inexhaustible supply of uranium and Hell Crystals. Furthermore, they were Shen Lang's Hell Crystals, not Jiang Li's.
Although Jiang Li's energy crystals could be controlled here, once they entered the Jiang Li Empire, they would be controlled by Jiang Li at any time. This was because they were the product of his high-level understanding of the Dragon. Therefore, of course, Jiang Li's Hell Crystals could not be used for this nuclear power core.
On the other hand, Shen Lang's Hell Crystals were completely different. They were completely controlled by Shen Lang's will and would never betray him.
Of course, Shen Lang did not want to call them Hell Crystals at all. Everyone's high-level understanding of the Dragon was different. Moreover, Shen Lang did not plan to use this thing to swallow any life, so it was not hell at all.
This energy crystal itself was sinless. How perfect was it to suppress and balance the energy of nuclear fission?
In just a short month! Grand Secretary Twain and Gregory's team of Grand Secretaries had built three giant nuclear power devices.
"Your Majesty, these three giant nuclear power devices are enough to supply the entire Raging Tide City with energy." Grand Secretary Twain said, "Our plan is like this. One of the giant nuclear power devices will be used to maintain the dome energy shield of the Raging Tide City. The second giant nuclear power device will be used as a backup to maintain the energy shield. The third giant nuclear power device will be used to supply the entire city with energy. "
"Of course, in the following period of time, our team will be divided into two parts. One-third of us will continue to create the giant nuclear power devices and complete the Nightmare Stone energy distribution system. The other two-thirds will be completely focused on the research and production of hydrogen bombs. "
"Rest assured, Your Majesty. We will not delay your northern expedition. We will create a large number of nuclear power devices in the shortest time possible. Once you take back the Eastern and Xilun Empires, our nuclear power devices will be able to supply energy and dome energy for these cities. We have to prove to Jiang Li that our civilization is more advanced. "
"We will defeat Jiang Li in all aspects! We will make Jiang Li despair because of our advancement! "
… …
Shen Mi and Yaoyao were very excited! The northern expedition was about to begin, and they would soon return to Raging Tide City.
The two girls' childhood memories were all in Raging Tide City. That was their home.
More accurately speaking, Paradise Manor was their home. They had spent seven to eight years there without any worries. That was the happiest time of their lives. Most of their family, including their grandmothers and Ning Yuanxian's grandfather, were in Paradise Manor. There were also hundreds of friends.
They really missed Ning Yuanxian's grandfather. There was no one else in this world who loved them so much.
There was also Concubine Bian. She and Ning Yuanxian treated the children as their everything. Every day, even when they were sleeping, revolved around the children.
Every day, the meals were prepared by Bian Fei herself. Bing'er's cooking skills were already very good, but she never had the chance to show it. As for Princess Ning Yan, she was even worse. She didn't know how to cook at all, even though she had two children.
Of course, the two girls couldn't go to Raging Tide City immediately. They needed Shen Lang to take back Raging Tide City and build all the defense systems and energy systems before they could go back.
But they were still very excited because their father was going to take back their home. There was one more thing that Yaoyao and Shen Mi didn't say, but their hearts were filled with hope. They wanted their father to save all their relatives, grandfathers, mothers, and siblings.
Three days later!
Shen Lang brought the two giant dragons, a hundred Sky Fortresses, Princess Ji Xuan, Zhu Hongxue, Ning Han, and the rest, as well as a hundred thousand soldiers. They left the Deep Abyss Crack and Mojing, officially beginning the northern expedition to take back the Da Qian Empire.
