Chapter 1 Attitudes of Allied Nations

Li Tianran had long anticipated the attitudes of other countries in the Alliance. He knew that such a decision, which almost handed over all information control to others, was difficult. If he were in the position of the European Union Special Commissioner, he would also speculate maliciously on the true purpose of the "Northern Heavenly Gate Project."

But in the end, the human nations of the Alliance would still agree.

Because the problem facing human civilization was severe, and the choices were limited.

Either accept the Northern Heavenly Gate Project and allow their information networks to be protected and monitored by Li Tianran; or reject the project and allow their information networks to be invaded and manipulated by ancient civilizations.

If they had to choose between Li Tianran and the ancient civilizations, the heads of the Alliance would definitely prefer Li Tianran, who was also human.

This was not a very difficult choice.

As expected, less than three hours after Li Tianran's request was transmitted to various countries of the Alliance, all countries of the Human Alliance made positive responses. Although the European Union and Y Country carried some unwilling resentment, the heads of the two countries were still sober between life and death and knew what was right.

At this time, less than seven days remained before Li Tianran's full-scale counterattack plan. After responding to the Northern Heavenly Gate Project, countries gathered resources and talents as quickly as possible and sent them to Kuangxi Island.

The entire process took no more than twenty-four hours, and a mighty transportation force set off from various parts of the human defense line and gathered towards Kuangxi Island.

...

A transport team flying the flag of Russia was sailing on the sea.

This team consisted of more than a dozen transport ships, four escort warships, and eight armed helicopters. Inside the cabin of helicopter No. 06, eight researchers looked at the documents in their hands, their emotions surging.

They were Russia's top network engineers and the most valuable "wealth" of this transport team. Compared with the value of these eight people, the massive amount of material resources below was not worth mentioning!

"The structure of this security network is truly great, completely surpassing this era... If it can be successfully created and launched, our lives will be complete enough!" one researcher said excitedly, staring at the document in his hand.

When Li Tianran notified the countries, he compiled a small part of the "Northern Heavenly Gate" design concept and manufacturing plan into a booklet and distributed it.

Because countries could not simply listen to your empty words and choose to trust you completely. You had to show some substantive things to earn the unconditional support of the countries!

The advent of the "Northern Heavenly Gate" network might just be a tool for the heads of various countries to better protect their network security; but for people in the network technology industry, it was like witnessing a miracle in person.

To give a simple example, it was like a blacksmith shop owner in the Warring States period who was devoted to creating the strongest weapons, who was used to seeing the battlefield dominated by cold weapons such as knives, swords, and spears, but suddenly, by chance, he learned of the existence of machine guns, tanks, and even missiles. And at this time, he learned that he had the opportunity to participate in their manufacturing process, this excitement was indescribable!

This was a sense of luck from the soul, as if his lifelong pursuit had been satisfied.

These researchers were different from ordinary people. Most of them were somewhat crazy and obsessed with academics in their respective fields. Their lifelong pursuit was not wealth or power, but to create a miracle in their respective fields.

Just like a literati writing poems and articles that would be passed down through the ages!

Just like a swordsman creating an unparalleled swordsmanship!

And as long as they could do this, they would be satisfied even if they died the next second!

To hear the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening!

"Yes, this is a miracle of the information network era, a product that absolutely does not belong to this era... If we can create it, our names will be recorded in the history books along with it, until the destruction of human civilization," another researcher said in a trembling voice.

After the Northern Heavenly Gate Project was announced, no matter what the attitudes of the heads of various countries were, whether there were some private complaints, these selected researchers all felt unusually excited and very honored.

For them, being able to participate in this great project was the highest honor in their lives. This had nothing to do with nationality, and no other secular factors could affect their sense of honor. They would not hide anything, they would not be lazy, and they would devote 120% of their efforts to make this great product born from their hands!

Everyone was very excited and even eager to arrive at Kuangxi Island immediately and start working.

The team was sailing forward steadily.

This sea area was within the human defense line, so it was relatively safe. The Cartier Fort defense line, which had been destroyed in the previous war, had also been assigned to be repaired and garrisoned after the war.

"One thousand kilometers ahead, we are about to enter the Kuangxi Island control sea area..." A naval officer reported to the captain on the fleet below.

"Speed up," the captain ordered in a deep voice.

Woo!

The transport ship was running at full power, heading towards Kuangxi Island at the fastest speed, but at this moment, the intercom in the captain's room suddenly rang.

"Captain, the sonar equipment has detected a large number of unidentified object sound feedbacks in the sea ahead. They are moving very fast and are moving towards our team! According to speculation, 90% of them are likely to be sea beast swarms!"

The harsh shouting of the sailors on the reconnaissance ship came from the intercom. The captain's face changed, and he immediately walked out of the captain's room and looked at the distant sea horizon with a telescope. He saw dozens of kilometers away, in the absence of sea breeze and tides, very violent turbulence appeared on the sea surface. This meant that there were either huge whirlpools and undercurrents under the sea, or a large number of creatures were moving!

Since the war with the sea beasts began several months ago, the captain had long been familiar with this "sea condition" to the bone. So the moment he saw the movement on the sea, he immediately grabbed the intercom equipment around his waist and roared, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Prepare for battle!"

Although the sea area where this transport team was currently located was within the human defense line, there were also many ocean tributaries and underground rivers within the defense line, and it was impossible for humans to block all of them, so sea beasts inevitably sneaked into the defense line through this channel.

Kaka!

The gun barrels on the warship rose and aimed at the surging sea ahead.

Some Evolver warriors stood on the deck with steel knives in their hands, their expressions solemn, quietly waiting for the enemy to enter the attack range.

"Boom!"

A shell was fired, cutting through the sky and falling into the sea in the distance.

The war officially began.
