The kraken, upon receiving this information, made no response.

In this environment, it was very common for Beast Kings or high-ranking humans to be assassinated.

"Dream Weaver Serpent…" The kraken's mind swiftly recalled the information about the "Overlord" that Qing Gui had mentioned.

Not a bad ability.

A bit of a pity.

It had eight million Beast Kings under its command, and its enemies were the most powerful race on Blue Star. Its greatest ambition and desire was to set foot on land, wipe out all humans, and perhaps also torture the human who had once given it such a strong psychological shadow…

The loss of an Overlord in a small sea area was of no concern to it.

A little regrettable, that was all.

It had no plans to avenge its Overlord; it had more important things to do.

…

Li Tianran stood on the mountain wall and suddenly sneezed.

The weather wasn't that cold, and his physique was certainly not susceptible to colds. He muttered to himself, wondering who was badmouthing him behind his back.

All eleven warships had now been refitted and were quietly docked near the still-under-construction port.

Li Tianran stood on high, surveying the surroundings, and realized that the entire southern part of Kuangxi Island had undergone earth-shattering changes since he had first arrived.

In the distance, in the mining area, huge machines were in operation.

Along the barren coastline, the framework of a steel city wall had been erected.

To the east, the wilderness was covered by a seemingly endless stretch of plastic steel greenhouses.

Along the surrounding coastline, a tall machine gun turret and laser tower stood every two hundred meters.

In the nearby sea, a large number of Cruiser-class radars roamed. They looked like small silver birds flying in the sky, and on their backs, a miniature spider-shaped bomb was tightly attached.

This was a simple coordinated tactic. The spider-shaped bombs could infiltrate the control systems of large machinery and warships to carry out explosions, while the maneuverability of the Cruiser-class radars provided flight and bombing capabilities.

The combination of two simple machines became airborne bombers.

In the nearby sea, several modified mechanical Beast Kings were roaming. After the successful modification of the first mechanical Beast King, Professor Nan seemed to have discovered a new source of enjoyment. After his manipulations, several atavistic Beast Kings were also successfully transformed into "biological submarines" lurking beneath the sea.

The farm was located in the very center of the southern area, complete with tanks, bombers, and missile silos, providing abundant firepower.

In space, the Tianxing-1 satellite constellation was monitoring possible heavy firepower threats near Kuangxi Island in real time.

Today, Kuangxi Island had become a small military base.

Li Tianran could now boast without exaggeration that even if a naval ace fleet from the European Union came, he was confident of annihilating them.

"Now Kuangxi Island has everything except one thing… nuclear weapons." Li Tianran sat on a giant rock and said to Qin Yiming in front of him, "Actually, I'm very scared."

Ever since Han Han's dream prophecy had been confirmed, Li Tianran had felt as if a stone was weighing on his heart.

Because Han Han had had more than one prophetic dream. Back in Nancheng, Han Han had once told Li Tianran that she had dreamed of monsters roaring outside the farm, artillery fire blasting, and them fleeing in a sorry state, covered in blood…

At the time, Li Tianran had only thought that the world's changes had frightened Han Han, resulting in the dream.

But now it seemed that it might have been Han Han's first "prophecy."

Qin Yiming raised his eyebrows.

"Nuclear weapons are the only standard that distinguishes powerful and weak countries during wartime…" Li Tianran stroked his chin, "If the countries of the world negotiate at a table, then nuclear weapons are the biggest bargaining chip and confidence. If the negotiations are unfavorable, countries with nuclear weapons can simply flip the table, while countries without nuclear weapons can only swallow their anger."

Qin Yiming nodded, very much agreeing with Li Tianran's view.

When the Yanhuang Federation was first established, the situation was chaotic, wars were frequent, and the people couldn't even get enough to eat or wear. However, the upper echelons tightened their belts and poured a lot of resources and money into developing nuclear weapons. This development plan, which seemed somewhat extreme at the time, ultimately proved to be extremely wise.

After possessing nuclear weapons, the Yanhuang Federation's international status was greatly enhanced, and it also ushered in decades of peaceful development.

In times of melee, a nuclear warhead represented too much.

"You want to get nuclear weapons?" Qin Yiming raised his eyebrows, "But with our current conditions, it's a bit difficult, isn't it?"

Li Tianran stood up and looked at the distant sea.

His points store had nuclear weapons for sale, but that required upgrading the farm to LV4 and then spending a huge number of points to purchase them.

How much was that huge amount exactly?

2.8 billion!

Actually, to be precise, it should be 5.6 billion!

Why?

Because the deterrent power of nuclear weapons is greater than their destructive power. After you have nuclear weapons, you must first find an opportunity to display them, just like when the former Yanhuang country conducted a nuclear explosion test and frantically printed a large number of newspapers and sent them abroad.

The meaning was very simple, just to tell others: I also have mushroom clouds, look, the photos and experimental data have been published, and the live broadcast of the test explosion has also been rebroadcast. Don't mess with me in the future, or I'll give you one!

Test explosions and demonstrations are a very important part!

Spending 2.8 billion points to perform in front of the world's great powers, and then spending the same price to buy one for storage, even Li Tianran found this expensive price somewhat unbearable.

"Difficult… but we must still get them." Li Tianran licked his lips and said in a deep voice.

Now he was wanted, and if he was exposed, he would become the enemy of the world. He needed such a mushroom cloud to make some enemies fearful.

"The most difficult thing in manufacturing nuclear weapons is not the technology, but the raw materials…" Qin Yiming said. Nowadays, the technology for manufacturing nuclear weapons is almost public knowledge in the world, but the raw materials for manufacturing nuclear weapons have always been strictly controlled by the great powers. Apart from the six great powers, perhaps only some mineral-rich countries in the Middle East have nuclear materials.

Li Tianran's head began to ache again. If it were other materials, he might be able to find a way to get some, but nuclear materials…

"Could it be that we have to dismantle the nuclear submarine?" Li Tianran thought silently.

This was the last resort. Nuclear materials, like nuclear weapons, could only be unlocked after upgrading to LV4 shelter. If he really couldn't get nuclear materials, Li Tianran could only do this.

The two were silent for a long time, looking at each other.

Obviously, their thoughts were the same. If there were no nuclear materials, perhaps they really had to dismantle the precious nuclear submarine…

"Boss, I've noticed that you like to stay outside lately? Even if there's nothing to do, you don't like to rest in the castle…" Qin Yiming smiled. Now that the decision had been made, the topic could be ended, and he began to try to lighten the atmosphere.

Hearing Qin Yiming's words, Li Tianran had an even bigger headache.

Tang Su and Yuan Wen had been getting along very well these past two days, but for some reason, Li Tianran always felt a sense of unease whenever he appeared in the same frame as them.

Moreover, although Tang Su and Yuan Wen seemed to be getting closer and closer on the surface, Li Tianran felt more and more that this intimacy was not like the intimacy between friends, but like…

Li Tianran couldn't explain it, but he always had a faint feeling of unease.

When Tang Su was hostile to Yuan Wen, he was worried, but when Tang Su and Yuan Wen got along well, he felt it was abnormal…

"People are just cheap!" Li Tianran sighed in a low voice.

…

At the same time, in a military base in a country thousands of kilometers away from Kuangxi Island, General Sonan, wearing a neat military uniform, looked at a group of confidants standing in front of him and waved his arms excitedly, saying:

"The president intends to rely on Russia and betray the country! I have made a decision to shed our blood and correct this distorted path!"

"We have powerful Evolver warriors, the service of the military intelligence department, control of more than 50% of the army in the whole territory, and the support of the people. We will win this battle!"

"In 24 hours, surround the presidential palace! Occupy the command headquarters! Aim our swords at the three legions under the president's command!谏! Seize power!"

Bai Jingyan stood in the crowd, showing a bright smile. Like the generals around him who had been brainwashed by Sonan, he raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Victory!"

"Starting tomorrow, there will be 4 updates a day for a week, pushing a big climax…"
