Lin Zhan tapped the table with a helpless expression and said, "Hey, hey, all you old ancestors, you have to give me some face, don't you? This isn't right."
As soon as Lin Zhan finished speaking, Shang Jia wiped his eyes and said to everyone, "What are you all doing? Can you act like ancestors for once?"
Lin Zhan pouted and grumbled in his heart: You were the one who led the way in sleeping, and you still have the nerve to say that.
Qin Zhaoxiang Wang, Ying Ji glanced at the kings of the Han Dynasty and then turned to Lin Zhan and said, "Kid, stop dawdling. Since all the ancestors have asked you to take charge, these matters are up to you. We old guys will just assist you."
Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng, also nodded and said, "That's right, hurry up and make arrangements. Once you're done with your business, you can come and look into my matter."
Lin Zhan was taken aback and said, "Old ancestor, what's the matter?"
Liu Heng said again, "I'm out of money. Currently, our resources are just enough to meet the consumption of the several major garrisons and the Martial Dao Bureau's standing forces. Your army is constantly clamoring for expansion, and I've selected 10 million people from the national reserves for you."
"Just this small matter? Old ancestor Liu Heng, don't worry. Our Huaxia is now a big nation, we're not short of this much."
After Lin Zhan patted his chest and finished speaking.
He then said to the young Taoist priest, "Brother-in-law, how much surplus do we have from our current businesses?"
The young Taoist priest, acting as Lin Zhan's front man, professionally took out a ledger and said, "After deducting the dividends for all shareholders and our personal assets, we currently have resources equivalent to 1.2 billion Lord-level crystal cores."
"In addition, there are 18 million Lord-level crystal cores, 6.2 million Quasi-King-level crystal cores, and 800,000 King-level crystal cores. This is all earned from doing business with the ten thousand races."
"Oh, and by the way, Brother, the Federal Government still owes us military expenses, equivalent to 650 million Lord-level crystal cores and 8 million Lord-level crystal cores."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, allocate half of our resources to Old Ancestor Liu Heng. You go back today and make another trip to the Federal Government, tell them to pay up the overdue military expenses. Anyone who hesitates, just cut them down. Then, all these crystal cores and resources will be allocated to Old Ancestor Liu Heng."
As Lin Zhan finished speaking, the kings couldn't help but gasp. They all knew this kid was rich, but they didn't expect him to be this rich. He was simply the richest man in the human race.
Liu Heng, upon hearing that so many resources were allocated to him, quickly said to Lin Zhan, "Kid, this is too much. With so many resources in my hands, it will take me 5 years to use them all. Your army is large and has many expenses, so you should keep it."
Lin Zhan shook his head and said, "Old ancestor, these resources are not just for local use, they are mainly for the ten thousand races battlefield. After Old Ancestor Ying Ji finishes investigating the battlefield, I plan to rebuild the human defense line and build a giant fortress for humanity."
"This way, no matter how the ten thousand races change the terrain of the planes, we will be able to advance and retreat at will. Moreover, the resources allocated to you now might even be insufficient." Su Dan Novel Network
Ying Ji pondered for a moment and then said to Lin Zhan, "Lin kid, if that's the case, our Ying family alone won't be enough. You'll have to send us more manpower."
Lin Zhan nodded and said, "At the latest by tomorrow, Master Long Duan, Leng Shan's maternal grandfather, will arrive. Master Long is one of the five special-grade forging masters of the human race. He will help you select the alloy materials for constructing the formations. That should be fine."
"Also, the sect leader of the Celestial Master's Mansion, Zhang Qingxuan, is at the arsenal. You can refer to the blueprints for various combat fortresses from Xiao Ming's side. The Tie family brothers, Tie Lao Si and Tie Lao Wu, from the Giant Panda race are also here. All alloy production will be handled by the Giant Panda race and the arsenal."
"All construction resources will be managed by Old Ancestor Liu Heng. We only have half a year, so we must build the combat fortress as quickly as possible. It must also be suitable for all terrains and be able to be assembled quickly, with an assembly time not exceeding three days, just like the defense line we rapidly constructed in the Lizardman plane."
"My first requirement is that it must be able to withstand the full force of a Quasi-King's attack. The second is that it must be large enough to accommodate the living, training, and various supporting facilities for 150 million people, including the arrangement and feeding of cavalry mounts."
"The third is that the firepower must be strong. You can discuss this with the Heavy Artillery Corps and the Missile部队. All defensive facilities must be comprehensive, especially defenses against the air force and heavy infantry of the ten thousand races."
"In short, even if we have to pile it up with resources, we must build it. Our soldiers are too precious. I can only use these resources to exchange for the lives of our soldiers."
As Lin Zhan finished speaking, Ying Ji, followed by the old men behind him, began to discuss with Emperor Wen of Han, Liu Heng.
More than ten minutes later, Liu Heng said to Lin Zhan, "Lin kid, if we calculate it this way, all the resources in my hands are not enough. We will need at least about 2 billion Lord-level supplies."
Ying Ji also added, "This is just our rough estimate. To confirm, we need to conduct on-site investigations throughout the entire human territory. Even if the ten thousand races intend to merge planes, they won't do it arbitrarily. Both the thickness of the spatial barrier and the level of the plane, as well as the terrain接洽, must meet the requirements."
"Moreover, all we can do now is dispatch the most elite reconnaissance teams to conduct on-site investigations to infer the terrain into which the ten thousand races can merge, and then modify our formations and construct the fortress based on the terrain."
Ying Ji's highly professional words made the great young master Lin exclaim with admiration. The money was well spent, and even the ancestors of the human emperors nodded with great satisfaction.
Then Lin Zhan said to the young Taoist priest who was listening attentively, "Brother-in-law, according to the estimates of Old Ancestor Ying Ji and Old Ancestor Liu Heng, we are currently short of at least 1.5 billion Lord-level resources. If you don't want to pay this money out of our pockets, you need to think of a way."
The young Taoist priest's eyes widened as soon as he heard that he had to pay out of his own pocket, like a possessive little wolf cub.
What? Pay from my pocket? Not even a door, let alone a window!
Don't I still need to buy a theme park for Ya'er? Dating a girlfriend is very expensive!
Then the young Taoist priest took out a golden abacus and started clicking it.
While clicking the abacus, he mumbled, "Thirty-six, seventy-eight, plus twenty-five, approximately equals two hundred and fifty."
Everyone around was stunned and looked at Lin Zhan in confusion: How did this little fat guy calculate thirty-six and seventy-eight?
Seeing everyone's gaze, even Lin Da Shao, with his thick skin, felt a little embarrassed.
The young Taoist priest, after finishing his calculation, jumped up and shouted, "Holy crap, if we round this up, our funding gap is nearly 25 billion!"
