Chapter 1 Arriving as Scheduled

Looking at the large cargo ships arriving as scheduled, Li Tianran breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that at least this time, the world powers of the Alliance Council had kept their promise and hadn't forced him to stage another "uproar at the Alliance Council Headquarters." The overt and covert struggles, the conspiracies and calculations among humans, had already exhausted him. With the fourth Destruction Epoch about to descend, he no longer wanted to divert his energy to such internal human strife.

After the strategic point recapture battle, humanity had not ceased its wars. After learning that Li Tianran might have killed the Siren, many human nations began organizing troops to advance towards some "beast nest cities." These beast nest cities were interspersed throughout the sea areas, controlled by Beast Kings and filled with human technology. They had formed in scale within a short period of time, and had accumulated a large amount of wealth.

For the Alliance Council, which was in urgent need of establishing a new human defense line, these beast nest cities were typical sweet pastries. Each one captured would yield a large amount of resources!

After the Destruction Epoch had descended for so long, the world's population had died by nearly ninety-five percent. Under harsh environmental conditions and poor living, clothing, and food conditions, the mortality rate of some weaker and older humans was as high as ninety-nine point nine nine percent. After several months of screening, most of the humans still alive were young, strong males, in addition to the Evolvers.

Moreover, with the high casualty rate in the army, the vast majority of civilians could no longer remain parasites in the shelters. The country incorporated most of the civilians into the army and other jobs according to their personal skills and physical condition.

Everyone needed to work in order to continue to live.

Buzz!

There was a piercing sound of wind breaking in the sky, and more than a dozen manned helicopters landed on the coast of Mad Breath Island. The hatches opened, and a team composed of personnel from various countries walked out.

Leading the group was a blond-haired, blue-eyed European. He strode up to Li Tianran, shook hands with Li Tianran with a smile, and said, "Governor Li, hello! I am the commander-in-chief of this 'Creating God' operation! My name is Mai Jieluo! In the next period of time, I will build Mad Breath Island into a gate of God standing on the northwest defense line of mankind in the shortest possible time!"

Li Tianran felt that the name of this plan was a bit cheesy, but facing Mai Jieluo, he did not show any discomfort. He shook the other's hand and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you!"

"Please come with me and take a look at this plan..." Mai Jieluo didn't waste any time, and directly pulled Li Tianran to start some discussions on the future construction of Mad Breath Island. He took out his laptop and pulled up the future plan.

"Mad Breath Island is too small, we plan to connect all the surrounding islands..."

"You see, we are going to build a large military airport on this Mad Sand Islands, which can carry at least a thousand warplanes to complete all take-offs in three minutes!"

"And on the island next to it, we will build a heavy port and arsenal!"

"Three hundred kilometers away from Mad Breath Island, we will build some control base stations... and nuclear power plants!"

Mai Jieluo was very excited and told Li Tianran about his ideas. Obviously, Mai Jieluo was a very talented person. In his plan, Mad Breath Island would have all the military capabilities of a powerful country in the future.

"Yes, we also need to build a satellite communication system!" Mai Jieluo said, "Only with monitoring satellites can we accurately grasp the enemy's every move!"

Li Tianran listened to Mai Jieluo's explanation, and after a while asked, "If you want to become a powerful country, is the area of Mad Breath Island too small?"

Mai Jieluo smiled and asked softly, "Governor Li, what is the definition of a powerful country?"

"Military power." Li Tianran raised his eyebrows and replied.

"That's right! As long as the military power meets the standard, what does the size of the area matter?" Mai Jieluo said, "Moreover, in our plan, we can also build large offshore missile silos and even aircraft carrier factories!"

Accurately speaking, the area of Mad Breath Island plus the surrounding islands is not large. Li Tianran once thought about moving the farm to some inland areas, but in that case, the originally planned human defense line would be cut in half, and the powerful country would have no meaning or reason to help Li Tianran build a shelter.

Li Tianran took a deep breath. Mai Jieluo was right. Only when the military strength met the standard would other factors be ranked in the second sequence.

After silently listening to Mai Jieluo's explanation of the plan, Li Tianran found a problem. He frowned and asked, "Why is there no construction plan for intercontinental weapons and second-generation nuclear fission warheads in the plan?"

A helpless expression appeared on Mai Jieluo's face. He spread his hands and said, "Sorry, the Alliance Council did not give me permission to manufacture such weapons. They said... Mad Breath Island does not need to have intercontinental nuclear weapons. If it comes to the point where intercontinental weapons need to be deployed, they will launch them."

Li Tianran's face darkened.

Obviously, the Alliance Council still retained some trump cards. In the previous war, the powerful countries knew very well that Li Tianran had nuclear weapons, but those were only the first generation, and the launch distance was at most no more than three thousand kilometers, which could not achieve the point of arbitrarily attacking any location on Blue Star.

As the most powerful weapon in the history of human technology, the Alliance Council retained the manufacturing plan for intercontinental weapons and second-generation nuclear weapons for Li Tianran.

"Damn, are you really forcing me to make a scene?" Li Tianran gritted his teeth.

……

"Your Excellency! The other four major powers unanimously oppose Li Tianran possessing intercontinental nuclear weapons." A secretary stood in front of the supreme leader of the Federation and said softly, "Perhaps, the Alliance Council also wants Li Tianran to have the last trace of fear and awe!"

"..." The Federal Chief was silent for a long time. He stood up and said, "They keep it, we don't keep it! They don't share technology, we share it ourselves!"

"Will doing this offend the other four major powers too much?" the secretary asked.

"The most taboo thing about doing great things is to be timid and indecisive! Since you've offended them, then be ruthless! At this moment, you need the most unique decisions! Li Tianran doesn't believe us once, and doesn't believe us twice, but what about three or four times? He will always see that we are different from others!" The Federal Chief said in a deep voice, "Immediately transfer people and horses, bring our technology and equipment, and go to Mad Breath Island in the name of the Federation alone!"
