Chapter 68 North Heavenly Gate

Although nuclear weapons didn't perform well in the first battle against the ancient civilization, and even seemed a bit outdated, they are still the most powerful weapons humans can currently master, apart from Crazy Breath Island. Moreover, the power they generate upon explosion can definitely cause devastating damage to lower-order creatures.

It's like the musket from hundreds of years ago. From the perspective of modern technology, it's outdated and inconvenient, but it can still easily kill a human, just like a modern machine gun.

Humans cannot abandon it. Even Li Tianran, who possesses the Kunlun giant ship, cannot ignore the importance of nuclear weapons.

Their attack range reaches 6,000 kilometers, surpassing the maximum strike range of the Kunlun giant ship's laser orbital cannon.

If they are besieged by ancient creatures in certain areas, and the Kunlun giant ship cannot disengage in time to provide support, intercontinental missiles can still play a decisive role in changing the situation.

"Intercontinental weapons are not outdated, it's just that the encryption system controlling them is a bit outdated..." Li Tianran made a very accurate judgment. The destructive power of nuclear weapons is not much weaker than the laser orbital cannon. Their poor performance in the war may have been due to their encryption system being hacked, causing them to detonate from the inside.

If the ancient civilization could really ignore the power of nuclear weapons, why detonate them outside the kill zone? Why not directly withstand a nuclear weapon strike? Wouldn't that be more effective in undermining human will and confidence?

"Yes, not only the encryption system of nuclear weapons, but also our fighter control systems, communication control, data control, and other aspects need comprehensive upgrades in order to resist the ancient civilization's technological network intrusion," the engineer nodded and continued, "Otherwise, we will have no secrets in front of them. We could hold a meeting to formulate a battle plan, and the next second they would know our troop distribution, attack locations, and troop strength."

This is indeed a problem that must be solved.

Li Tianran frowned. He opened the system store and found an extremely expensive item in the "Expansion" category of the shelter.

It was a super-era encryption network outline.

To be precise, it was a design blueprint for an encryption network!

"North Heavenly Gate!"

"It is the most advanced network encryption system below the level of a level 1 civilization. Any technology that does not surpass planetary civilization cannot break it. Saying it is 'as solid as a rock' is not enough to describe its security. It is like the North Heavenly Gate guarding the divine court, almost eternal!"

Li Tianran looked at the introduction of this design blueprint. In mythology, the Heavenly Palace has four Heavenly Gates: east, south, west, and north. The South Heavenly Gate has been captured countless times, and demons have passed through the East and West Heavenly Gates, but the North Heavenly Gate, since its establishment, has never been breached by anyone, god, or demon.

Legend has it that the guardian of the North Heavenly Gate is the Zhenwu Emperor, the nemesis of all evil spirits. With him guarding the North Heavenly Gate, it is naturally as stable as Mount Tai!

"Using the state of mythological stories for comparison is quite interesting..." Li Tianran looked at this design blueprint, which was so expensive that it could buy dozens of mech warriors, and immediately chose to purchase it without hesitation.

With a flash of golden light, a huge amount of data entered Li Tianran's brain.

The hundred billion points purchased were not for a complete protection network, but only for the method of manufacturing the protection network. At this time, Li Tianran needed to collect a massive amount of resources and manpower according to the instructions in the design blueprint, and create the "North Heavenly Gate" before the official start of the war, and add it to all technological network products of human civilization!

After obtaining the design plan for the North Heavenly Gate, Li Tianran immediately sent someone to notify the Alliance and listed a large number of required items.

To build a complete network protection system, it is not simply a matter of finding a group of people to write some programs on keyboards and computers.

Take the most common anti-virus software as an example. In addition to the application downloaded to the computer, it also requires the base station server of the research and development center to process massive amounts of data. Its operation is not achieved by just a pile of code.

Hardware and software are indispensable!

To complete the North Heavenly Gate project, Li Tianran needs to build massive base stations, databases, operating modules, and other products, which Lan Ning himself cannot complete in a short time!

Only with the combined efforts of all mankind can this be done before the counterattack begins!

...

Soon, when the North Heavenly Gate plan was sent to the offices of the heads of state of the Alliance, it immediately triggered a series of different reactions.

Those small countries naturally had no objections, but the problem lay between the several permanent member states.

"This so-called North Heavenly Gate security network, while protecting against enemy intrusion, is also equivalent to directly replacing our previous control system! In this way, whether it can prevent the enemy's network intrusion is one thing, but if Li Tianran wants to bypass our permissions and directly control our mechanical army, it will be almost effortless!" The EU Special President stared at the documents on his desk, his face very ugly.

Recently, while Crazy Breath Island has been developing rapidly, it has put great pressure on these old powers.

The forced disclosure of all military strength before had already made the EU dissatisfied, and now, the emergence of the North Heavenly Gate plan completely stung his tense nerves.

The situation facing him at the moment is very clear: if he does not accept the North Heavenly Gate plan, the EU's informationized army is likely to have its control forcibly seized when fighting the ancient civilization, leading to fratricide.

But once the North Heavenly Gate plan is accepted, if Li Tianran wants to turn against the EU and launch a war in the future, he can directly use this security network to control all information-based weapons of the EU, and seize the entire EU regime without bloodshed!

The EU has no power to resist!

"I can't tell whether this plan is really to fight against the ancient civilization, or whether it is Li Tianran's excuse to completely annex all human countries..." the EU Special President said with a gloomy face and a malicious voice.

The same thing happened in the other council member states.

The Y country Prime Minister's reaction was similar to that of the EU, expressing difficulty in accepting it.

And the Russian President Putin remained silent for a long time, without saying a word.

In the Federal Conference Room, the Chief looked at the document, reached out and signed his name at the bottom of the document, and said in a deep voice to the generals around him, "Notify everyone to fully cooperate with all of Li Tianran's actions, and immediately transfer the required personnel and resources to Crazy Breath Island!"

"Chief, have you thought about it? If the other party uses this technology to attack us in the future..." a general couldn't help but remind him.

"That's a matter for the future!" The Chief glanced at the other party expressionlessly, "If we don't have it, we may not even be able to last a month, so where are we qualified to consider the more distant future?"

"Carry out the order!"
