Chapter 1 A Brain-buster

A crisp and loud brain-buster rang out on the little boy's head. The little boy immediately turned his head, glaring at Nilasong, his little hands holding his head as he took a few steps backward.

"You bully children too. You're a big bad guy!"

Nilasong stared blankly at his right hand, not knowing why he would subconsciously make a move similar to disciplining a junior.

"The riverside is very dangerous... Once you fall into the river, you'll die," Nilasong said in a low voice, as if lost in some kind of memory.

"But the riverside is very beautiful! There are reeds, snails, and little fish..." the little boy argued.

Nilasong closed his eyes. He seemed to know why he had such an overreaction.

He thought of some things.

During the time after the first Earth Apostle died, when he led the surviving members of the clan on their escape, their living environment was extremely harsh.

At that time, the environment of Blue Star was not like it is now.

The Blue Star several eras ago was even more severe than the Blue Star after experiencing several eras of destruction.

Underground lava rivers, flowing glaciers, polar wind caves... These were all geographical specialties of that time. They were incredibly gorgeous, but they hid huge dangers!

Even Evolutionaries could die in the harsh natural environment of that time!

During the escape, Nilasong had personally seen many clansmen fall in front of him, falling under these magnificent and deadly creations of nature.

So when he finally settled down in a certain habitat, the first order he gave to the clan was that they were absolutely not allowed to leave the habitat easily. Even if the outside world was beautiful and bright, they were not allowed to go out and take a look. Everything, everything, had to prioritize survival as the primary goal.

And some of the young children in the clan, when they couldn't restrain their curiosity and secretly sneaked out, would always be met with a lesson from Nilasong.

Doing so did greatly improve the survival rate of the clansmen, but at the same time, it also helplessly created a reality.

That is, many of the Earth Apostle clan's children spent all their years from birth to adulthood in dark, sunless caves and burrows. Their childhood was spent in cold, darkness, and fear, surviving like mice, being humble like ants.

Even the second Earth Apostle didn't leave the cave of the habitat until the third year after entering adulthood, when she saw the mountains and rivers of the outside world for the first time, and the flowers, plants, and trees of the outside world for the first time.

Until that day, she realized that the sky was blue, the clouds were white, the flowers and plants emitted a rich fragrance, and the sunshine was warm and soft on her body!

Regarding the two conscious identities of the Earth Apostle, although Hanhan was very weak and ordinary before awakening, and her life was far less powerful and exciting than Verona's, at least her childhood had not experienced suffering, she didn't have to face hunger or being hunted down, and she didn't have to spend her days in a dark, damp cave, trembling with many other clansmen!

The former Li Tianran was just an ordinary person, but he also created a sufficiently comfortable living environment for Hanhan like Nilasong, and kept all the dangers outside.

From this point of view, the Earth Apostle's life as Hanhan seemed to be much happier than her childhood as Verona...

Of course, if standing from the Earth Apostle's point of view, perhaps she didn't think that an ordinary, stable, and ordinary childhood was what she pursued and needed. Perhaps as a strong person, she believed that experiencing hardships and eventually growing into a dominant figure who could stir up the world was the happiness she believed in.

Everyone's pursuits are different.

But if standing from Nilasong's point of view, standing from the point of view of someone like a "father," if he were to choose the Earth Apostle's life, then he would most likely choose Hanhan's life!

Because he had personally witnessed and experienced those sufferings, and he had also seen the fear and sadness that Verona had once endured.

As a parent, who would want their descendants to endure such suffering?

Even if such suffering would create an extraordinary life in the future!

But if there was a choice, it is believed that ninety-nine percent of the parents in the world would rather give up that glorious future and choose to let their descendants spend their childhoods in an ordinary but stable way!

In this respect, the childhood that Nilasong had never created for the Earth Apostle was supplemented by Li Tianran.

"Beautiful scenery often hides danger. If something happens to you... your parents will be heartbroken," Nilasong opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the little boy who was still angry, and said, "If you dare to get close to the river again next time, I will still beat you."

The little boy snorted, "What right do you have to tell me what to do?"

Nilasong was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly, remembering that the little guy in front of him was not a descendant of his clan, but a human.

"Then I'll tell your mother..." Nilasong said, tilting his head.

The little boy suddenly fell silent when he heard this, and his eyes turned red: "My mother went to a very far place, she won't come back... she, she was eaten by monsters!"

"I'm sorry," Nilasong's expression froze, and then he apologized very sincerely. He stood up and walked to the little boy, pressed his finger on the other person's forehead, and instantly obtained the memory of his mother in his brain.

Late at night...

The piercing alarm...

The seawater gushing out from the ground cave...

The violently shaking buildings...

The ferocious sea beasts...

The grinning jaws opened, blood splattering...

Nilasong gently mobilized his intelligent brain ability, erasing all those dark and bloody scenes, replacing them with some vague and chaotic pictures.

He didn't modify the little boy's memory, but simply processed those more intuitive pictures in a "mosaic" like manner. Although this didn't make much sense, it could at least prevent the little boy from suddenly waking up in his dreams in the future.

"Are you willing to take a walk with me and talk to me about you and Li Han going to kindergarten together?" Nilasong squatted down and asked the little boy gently.

[Design Drawing: Gonggong]

[Category: Large Submersible Warship]

[Level: Lv4 Shelter Mall Product]

[Function: War, Transportation]

[Output Data: ......]

On Mad Breath Island, Li Tianran was faced with a mountain of drawings, and he held the general outline of this drawing in his hand.

The product represented by this design drawing is a submersible warship, which is similar to a large submarine, but in reality, it is much stronger than any existing nuclear submarine of mankind. Judging from the specific data in the design drawing, its combat power is by no means weaker than the Kunlun Giant Ship!

And the price of such a design drawing is also extremely expensive, reaching an astonishing 30 billion points.

If Mad Breath Island was not receiving the planting tribute from the entire human world, I am afraid that this design drawing alone would take Li Tianran a long time to buy.

"Its manufacturing cost is too high..."

Some researchers also stood in front of Li Tianran, looking at some of the structures and material requirements in the design drawings, and couldn't help but sigh: "If the difficulty of the North Heaven Gate project is 1, then the manufacturing difficulty of this Gonggong warship is 10!"

"A single drainage circulator has tens of millions of parts! And the materials required are all high-strength alloys... The construction of the entire warship will probably consume enough material and manpower to rebuild the human world from the ruins!"

The researchers discussed among themselves. After the world's disaster, they were top talents who had been tempered by arduous scientific research battles. They had created countless scientific miracles during the most critical moments of human civilization, but even they were now facing this design drawing. fell into a predicament.

Listening to the researchers' discussions, Li Tianran remained calm and resolute. He put down the general outline in his hand and said softly, "Even if the difficulty is high, we must manufacture it, because only when the Gonggong warship is launched, can we be considered to have the strength to fight against ancient civilizations!"

There is less than a week left before the full-scale revival of ancient civilizations, and at this time, there is still a very obvious gap in strength between human civilization and ancient civilizations.

Not to mention the combat power of the pioneers, just calculating the firepower, ancient civilizations have three miracle buildings, while Li Tianran only has one Sky Castle. Even with the Kunlun Giant Ship, he cannot match the opponent in numbers.

As for Mad Breath Island, it cannot be moved like a miracle building, so it cannot be considered effective war firepower at all.

And the most critical factor is not here.

From the birth of sea beasts to the revival of ancient civilizations, Li Tianran has always had a weakness in strength, that is, his control over the sea is too weak!

In the past, the sea monsters hid in the Deep Abyss, and Li Tianran had no way to deal with them, so he could only let them live freely. This situation was not resolved until the advent of the mecha warriors.

And now, the apostles are hiding under the sea again, and Li Tianran still has no strength to pursue them!

Although the mecha warriors have the ability to fight on the seabed, their firepower is still too weak in the face of miracle buildings. Only heavy firepower of the Kunlun Giant Ship level can be effective.

But once the Kunlun Giant Ship enters the seabed, both its speed and exploration capabilities will be greatly reduced. It is very likely that it will not only fail to severely damage the enemy, but will also be ambushed by the enemy and killed...

The advantages of Sky Castle are also not in the sea!

It can be said that the Mad Breath Island, Sky Castle, and Kunlun Giant Ship that Li Tianran currently owns all have their combat advantages in the sky and on land!

If Li Tianran's control over the sky and land is 10, then his control over the sea may not even reach 3.

This situation must be changed.

Otherwise, Li Tianran will be constrained everywhere in future wars.

Considering this, he spent a lot of money to purchase the [Gonggong Warship] design drawing in the mall.

Now the entire human world is cooperating with Li Tianran in harvesting crop planting. In addition to the daily necessary food consumption, the points that can be recovered in a day can be stabilized at more than 4 billion.

Although the number of recovered points seems to be a lot, at the same time, the points are also needed to meet the consumption of the entire human world, and in addition to the price of the design drawing itself, the materials used to build the warship are the big consumers of points.

Therefore, whether for Li Tianran or the entire human world, building the [Gonggong] warship is a very stressful project!
