Lori's Lorita Army escorted large amounts of resources from the core region of the Northern Continent to the first experimental area under her command. That area was already taking shape as a mega city. In just a year, the barren land had been renovated into its current state. Even a rich woman like her couldn't bear the cost.
However, when she saw the towering steel buildings, as well as the infrastructure of the Northern Continent, Lori felt that all her efforts were worth it.
A skyscraper was built from the ground.
Back in Ice Scar City, the Great Wall of Disaster was still using its old-fashioned walls. Under Li Xiang's leadership, the first two phases of the project were completed in just three years. If not for that incident, the Great Wall of Disaster would have been renovated, and the Calamities and mutants that roamed the galaxy would have been kept out for a long time.
Today's tragedy wouldn't have happened.
Lori's past was still fresh in her mind. She had dedicated four years of her youth to the borders and the Great Wall of Calamity. From a naive little loli at the age of fourteen to a young player who had developed self-awareness and thought process at the age of eighteen, she had walked step by step. That man had left a deep mark on her during the most important years of her life.
It could be said that Lori's current style of doing things and analyzing things came from Li Xiang. She had inherited his teachings.
Thus, Lori firmly believed that as long as she continued, the Northern Continent would definitely shine brightly in her lifetime and become a place that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the top three continents.
The harsh environment had forged the Northerners' physiques to be incomparably strong. The environment was currently a stumbling block to the development of civilization. Perhaps in the near future, it would become a prominent feature of the new generation of mega cities.
The female assistant was still rambling on about the financial problems. Not only was her treasury depleted, Lori had already used up all the channels available to her.
All of her brothers and sisters, as well as the large merchant guilds in the Northern Continent, were forcefully pulled into Lori's grand plan and became shareholders. In return, they had to invest a lot of money, manpower, and resources to support this little princess's tyrannical plan.
But in the end, there was a limit.
After spending hundreds of billions, even her brothers and sisters couldn't help. Those merchant guilds didn't dare to continue investing money in this bottomless pit, even if they risked offending her.
Coincidentally, at this time, the transformation of the three test areas had just entered the right track.
"No wonder Teacher said that starting from scratch is the most difficult. Money, connections, resources, and so on are all indispensable. You also need the right time, place, and people." Lori rubbed her head and sighed. In the presence of outsiders, she was used to calling Li Xiang teacher, but in private, she would call him big brother Li Xiang.
The Shield King knew that his daughter already had someone in her heart after that decision. However, he had long known that something like this could happen and had made sufficient preparations. Therefore, he had never interfered with Lori's private affairs.
Other than the Shield King, no one was optimistic about Lori's feelings. They felt that she was just a young girl. After all, she had been living and eating with a very outstanding man when she was young. It was inevitable that she would have feelings of admiration and longing.
Li Xiang was a man who was too complicated. The key was that his relationship with Ming Xu was amazing, and it was difficult for a third party to come in between them.
Lori knew this better than anyone else, but she still fell in love with him without hesitation. Just as she said, "When I'm an adult, can you marry me?" Five years had passed since then.
Mechanical Tea refilled her cup of black tea and said, "Miss, you can borrow money from the new Polar night and Wessex. What you're doing is what he wanted to do in the beginning. There's no way they won't support you."
"But, but … I want to do it myself." Lori's cheeks were slightly red, and she replied stubbornly. She wanted to do everything with her own abilities so that when he came back, he would be moved, amazed, and admit that she had grown up.
Mechanical Tea understood Lori's intentions and didn't say anything else.
The female assistant sighed, but the boss was Lori, and she had no right to say anything. She could only do as she was told.
After a while, the convoy finally drove into Experimental Zone One. After passing through the checkpoint, all the goods were unloaded at the factory, and the chariot carrying Lori headed toward the Princess' Palace.
The Princess' Palace was located at the end of Experimental Zone One near Storm Lake. The main building was a few hundred meters tall, and one could see the beautiful scenery within a few kilometers. The entire Princess Mansion occupied a very large area. It had its own moat and suspension cables on the city wall. It was different from the other architectural styles in the area. It was a classic oriental style from the Blue Planet era.
This was a mansion built by the famous architect of the new Polar night with reference to the ancient oriental literature of the Blue Planet era. It was said that only members of the royal family could enjoy this kind of building.
The walls of the Princess' Palace were well protected, and the inside of the outer wall was the latest mechanical turbine set. Once the enemy invaded, the turbine set would be activated instantly, and then countless magic circles would be activated. Just the heavy artillery and magic cannons alone were enough to destroy a well-equipped super army.
Attacks like this could last for dozens of hours, and even players did not dare to rashly step into the defense circle here.
The two giant doors were covered with intelligent metal, thick and beautiful. The doors were open, and the maids and attendants were already standing in two rows, respectfully welcoming Lori's arrival.
Walking through the door, Lori saw a huge platform near the outer wall on both sides of the door. A super magic cannon was floating on the platform. This was another super weapon developed by the new Polar night after the Elementium Cannon. It was powered by the internal magic circle, and it required a huge amount of Elementium solids to use. Each cannon meant an astronomical number, and it was no less than the consumption of an ordinary battleship in battle.
But at the same time, its power was frighteningly great.
When the Crimson Heavy Industries first developed the magic cannon, she was invited to see it on the first day of the test. The shockwave that looked like a mushroom cloud was still fresh in Lori's memory.
At that time, she was already a Level-1 Guardian, but she admitted that even if she used her family's secret technique and her Guardian's Shield, it would be difficult to completely block such a powerful cannon.
If it really hit her head, Lori knew that she would not be able to bear the consequences.
This was everything that her teacher had left behind.
After the new Polar night was on the right track, it continued to develop according to Li Xiang's ideas. It began to research and develop war machines, and the direction of research radiated to weapons and equipment, mechanical creatures, new battleships, and so on. It was all to prepare for the upcoming war.
As far as she knew, the new Polar night now had the most advanced Elementium weapons and equipment. In this area, they were neck and neck with Wessex, Bai Clan Heavy Industries, and Dong Ling Heavy Industries. In addition, countless small workshops had thrown themselves into the arms of the new Polar night. In the area of low-end weapons and equipment, they had a naked monopoly.
Even if they were not on good terms with the new Polar night, many factions still had to bite the bullet and use various black market channels to obtain their Elementium weapons and equipment because they were the best.
In the area of mid-end weapons and equipment, the new Polar night was already at the forefront, surpassing Wessex and the two major heavy industries. Because of the magic manufacturing blueprints left behind by Li Xiang, the new Polar night was more than a level ahead of the other factories in terms of magic weapons and equipment.
In this aspect, even Wessex could not compare.
All these years, Cecilia's focus had been on mechanical creatures and battleships. She didn't pay much attention to weapons and equipment, but she didn't mind. After all, Li Xiang was her biological brother. Between siblings, what was there to differentiate between you and me?
This area directly determined the combat strength of magic users.
Without a doubt, the armies under the new Polar night had already surpassed all the other factions and were at the top of the list. Everyone had to admit that the new Polar night's magic users were the strongest on the Seven Continents.
This was because they had magic weapons and equipment that others could not hope to possess. This alone was enough to crush everything.
In terms of high-end weapons and equipment, it was Li Xiang who had first introduced the concept of Void battleships. The Elementium Heavy Cannons he had developed at the Great Wall of Disaster had stopped waves of mutants time and time again, and could even cause damage to the Disasters.
Now, the battleship fleet had been upgraded, and the Elementium Heavy Cannons had been modified into even more terrifying magic cannons.
The new Polar night fleet completely dominated the airspace. Only Lancelot's Void fleet could rival them.
Once a real war broke out, the air supremacy would belong to both sides.
In addition, the new Polar night's mechanical creature army also dominated the Seven Continents. However, Cecilia herself was a semi-mechanical person. Her research in this area was not inferior to the new Polar night, and Wessex's mechanical army was not to be underestimated.
Lori let out a long breath and looked at the magnificent princess residence. Every time she came, she could not help but feel all sorts of emotions.
There were too many outstanding women by her teacher's side. They were outstanding in all aspects, making Lori feel a little ashamed. Thus, she had long been secretly clenching her fists in her heart. She had to show her teacher a big view and let him know that she was no longer the shy little girl from back then.
She was nineteen years old.
The places that should be big were big, the places that should be convex were convex, and the places that should be concave were concave. Her appearance was excellent, and her figure was perfect. The only thing she lacked was her height, which was only about 1.5 meters. However, this was one of her strengths.
Cute and petite girls were always more lovable.
"I'm ready. How about you, teacher?" Lori composed herself and walked into the princess residence step by step.
There was also a power tower that was hundreds of meters tall. Inside it was a sophisticated mechanical hub energy supply device that could provide electricity, gas, and other basic energy sources for the first experimental area. This allowed this super city to have its own energy supply system while being isolated from other cities, minimizing the impact of the snowstorm.
This was Cecilia's eighteenth birthday present to her. There was also a super mechanical creature army led by the mechanical Mi Cha in the princess residence. This was a coming-of-age gift from the new Polar night.
Instead of calling it a princess' residence, it was more like a small city. There was a separate armory, ship hangar, and workshop area. Many servants lived here and worked day and night for the princess residence.
Lori's bedroom was on the highest floor, occupying the entire floor. Only she and the mechanical Mi Cha could enter.
There were many decorations made of giant beast bones in the room. They were gifts from the Jadeite Forest. There was a large bed made of beast bones in the middle of the room, covered with various thick beast skins. This was a coming-of-age gift from her father.
These were not ordinary beasts, but the bones of the rare Void Behemoths. Just by placing them here, she could feel the dense Void Aura, which would be helpful to her cultivation.
The entire bedroom was supported by more than ten green pillars. From the floor-to-ceiling window that seemed thin but was actually extremely hard, she could see the entirety of Experimental Zone 1. The other two experimental zones were adjacent to each other.
Mi Cha watched as Lori took off her shoes and socks and jumped onto the bed. She stood by the door with a smile on her face.
"I'm so tired …" Lori hugged the big pillow and kept rolling on the bed. She only stopped when she realized that Mi Cha was still there.
In the past five years, Mi Cha had become no different from a human through continuous killing and advancement. At least now, it was impossible to tell whether she was a mechanical creature or a human.
"You're so busy every day. Are you trying to exhaust yourself?" Mi Cha looked at her and came to the bedside. She stroked her hair with her hand and said, "Lori, you've grown up a little."
"Really? Really? Really? " Lori jumped out of her arms excitedly and asked, "How have I grown up? Why don't I feel it?"
Mi Cha rolled her eyes and said faintly, "I'm saying that you've become more mature. Your personality has become more stable. If it was in the past, you would be furious when your assistant talked about finances. Now, you can actually hold it in. That's rare."
"Sigh, what's the big deal? It's within my expectations that I don't have money. The project here won't stop. I'll borrow some from Sister Cecilia and Sister Ye Tong to at least get through the first stage. If it's really not enough, I'll sell some of my shares," Lori said with a smile. Lori said with a smile. She then looked down at her chest and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I … can become bigger?"
She was probably a B now …
Lori felt that her ideal state should be a D or E as she heard that men liked girls with big bodies.
Judging from her teacher's taste, it should be the same.
"Pfft." Mi Cha laughed. She finally understood that this was what she was worried about.
"I'm not sure. I'm just a mechanical creature. You know." Mi Cha gestured at her chest. "You can adjust it to your liking."
"I'm so envious of you … You should be able to grow bigger." Lori's face was bitter. "I'm only nineteen."
The two bickered for a while more before someone knocked on the door. The female assistant rang the doorbell and came in with a pile of documents.
It was rare for Lori to return to the test area. As soon as she arrived, a huge pile of documents flooded her, making it difficult for her to relax.
Some of these documents included important instructions for the project. Only she could read them personally.
One of the reddish urgent documents caught Lori's attention.
