Haynm listened to the tribal leader talk about his journey to the abode of the gods, the ubiquitous light, the crystals, the sacred altars.

Hearing these words, Hainem's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked him, "What kind of tribute can receive the gift of God?" ”

The leader frowned and thought for a moment, "Gold! Nice gold! "The goddess likes beautiful gold as an ornament." But after saying that, he shook his head, "But the goddess is very demanding, and these are not worth it." As he spoke, he held up the gold ornament he had brought with him and showed it to Haynm.

Haiem looked at the exquisite gold ornament in the leader's hand and asked in disbelief, "Isn't this kind of art okay?" ”

"Nope." The leader shook his head, "The gold offered by the lucky man who blessed God is a sacred object!" ”

Haym listened to the leader's detailed explanation, and realized that if he wanted to enter the abode of the gods, he had to offer the divine stone brought by the meteor or a strange object with magical powers, just like the huge teeth of the scimitar that had been worshiped by the tribe for generations before.

Haynm had seen the tooth and knew that it had the power to drive out wild beasts, and that it was under its protection that the tribe could thrive in the treacherous jungle for generations.

Everyone who wants to conquer the ocean must maintain enough reverence for the ocean.

As a captain, Hayam has heard too many magical stories on the sea, and has also witnessed some incredible people and things, which is why Haynm's first reaction after hearing it is not to question it.

At Haynm's request, the leader and his party once again embarked on a journey to the god's abode.

Chen Changming stood outside the laboratory, looked at the excited researchers inside, and asked Wang Deli, "How's the progress?" ”

"It's amazing." Wang Deli's eyes were full of incredible amazement, "Very amazing use of energy, the specific principle is still being explored, this completely unfamiliar technology is really fascinating." ”

Chen Changming frowned and interrupted Wang Deli, "Has the testing age come out?" ”

"More than 100,000 years!" Wang Deli definitely gave a number, "At least more than 100,000 years old!" ”

Chen Changming nodded and left in a hurry.

Ten second-generation seagulls carrying energy detection devices quickly crossed the sky over New Netherlands, and the signal that came back told Chen Changming that this was indeed a barren continent, and only some indigenous people lived here.

Looking at the feedback report, Chen Changming looked at the few items sent by the No. 3 administrative region during this time, and muttered to himself in confusion, "The creation of ancient civilizations? ”

Before the results of the research of the scientific research department came out, no one could answer his doubts, and he had to put it aside for the time being and start to get busy with other things.

The dragon shadow, which has been silent for a while, unites the scientific research forces of the three administrative regions and begins to sort out the technology tree.

A complete bottom-up system of materials, energy, and manufacturing processes has gradually taken shape, and various equipment, military ranks, and political structures have been perfected through heated discussions again and again.

Chen Changming sat on the round platform in the center, his fingers pressed lightly a few times, and the round platform under his body floated silently under the action of the anti-gravity device, and glanced around, the huge conference room that was enough to accommodate 5,000 people was full of people.

"The meeting begins!" As Chen Changming spoke, the whole venue fell silent, and the heads of various departments began to speak in turn.

"The space factory is progressing well, the first batch of intelligent robots have rolled off the assembly line, and mineral mining is proceeding according to plan." Zhang Zhaozhong said as he unfolded a hologram in mid-air, a perspective taken from space.

On the desolate planet, ant-like robots quickly carry supplies and build one factory after another, and from time to time meteorites fall and are shattered by large-caliber electromagnetic cannons installed near the factories.

According to the plan, about 100 engineers will be stationed there to direct the robot to maintain the equipment and better complete the construction plan after that.

According to the plan planned at the time of departure, they will build a complete industrial system from scratch on that resource-rich mining star, which will be used to produce everything needed, and there will be a replenishment of materials every two months, and by the way, another group of personnel will be brought to change shifts.

Chen Changming nodded and looked at Wang Deli.

"The integration of the tech tree is accelerating, and the metal production process has been completed, and the relevant data has been sent to the space factory."

"Don't worry, this is the foundation of civilization that has been related to thousands of years, no matter how cautious we are, even if it is ten years and a hundred years, we can afford to wait." After Chen Changming finished speaking, he looked at everyone present, "You are all leaders in scientific research from the three administrative regions under the republic, and I don't need to say much about the importance of the foundation, so the meeting will be dismissed." ”

Hundreds of thousands of scientific researchers from the three administrative regions participated in this secret plan, among which the five thousand scientific researchers from the Dragon Shadow Scientific Research Department who had taken genetic enhancers were the absolute main force among them, and their knowledge reserves were vast, whether it was biomechanics or mathematics and astronomy, nothing could help them; They are far more energetic than ordinary people, and they can still maintain their energy after working for days without interruption.

"Commander Chen, there has been an extremely obvious gap in ability between the researchers who have been strengthened and those who have not." Wang Deli's voice came from the personal terminal.

Chen Changming knew what Wang Deli meant, he wanted to promote it as soon as possible to make the integration plan better and faster, but he refused, "Before the civilization upgrade plan is completed, I don't agree with the full promotion, at least until our space fleet is completed, this kind of idea should not be repeated." After Chen Changming finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Deli and emphasized, "Any accident will postpone the future plan, and the plan cannot be easily changed before there is no irresistible external force." ”

Turning off the personal terminal, Chen Changming fell into deep thought, in the period when Dragon Shadow was first founded, the development direction of Dragon Shadow was random and disorderly, and often the beginning of an action plan came from Chen Changming's idea of inspiration. This way of behavior caused the technology in the hands of Long Ying to be scattered and unsystematic, and Chen Changming, who lacked an understanding of the era of great industry, almost led Long Ying astray.

Fortunately, Chen Changming later realized this problem, and his later actions were not focused on the pursuit of black technology, but began to dig into the powerful industrial system hidden behind the black technology.

Today's pluralistic republics, like Huaxia, which had just been founded, had a large number of weapons and equipment, but could not produce them independently, and the previous 30 Kunpeng were the best examples.

Bigger and better space warships have been designed under the leadership of Bauer, but Chen Changming, who was full of joy and was about to do a big job, found that he couldn't build it, because the Elysium spaceship had been dismantled, and all the metal materials except for the thirty Kunpeng were made, and the rest were used as material reserves for large cargo spaceships, which could not be moved lightly.

It was also at that time that Chen Changming suddenly woke up from the rapid development of technical reserves and began to look back and establish a complete industrial system.

The dismantling of a large number of industrial facilities from Elysium greatly accelerated the space factory program, and the subsequent application of anti-gravity technology and intelligent robots greatly shortened the construction time of cargo spacecraft.

"Now it's just a matter of being patient." Chen Changming stretched slightly, looked at the beautiful lawn outside the window, and decided to go out for a walk.

Just when Chen Changming was relaxing, in the HX-2 administrative area, the big boss stood on the bank and looked at the surging Yellow River in front of him, pointed to the distance and asked, "That is the South Bank Ferry Garden Mouth?" ”

"Yes." An attaché replied.

The big boss snorted coldly and said to the third boss, "I'll give you three months, fight across the Yangtze River to capture Chang Shenkai alive!" ”

The big boss suddenly lost his temper, which made everyone a little confused, and only a handful of people knew about it.

In order to prevent the Japanese army from advancing westward, Chang Shenkai adopted the method of "replacing soldiers with water" and ordered the opening of the ferry port located on the south bank of the Yellow River - Huayuankou, causing the artificial Yellow River to burst its embankment and divert it, forming a large area of the Yellow River flooding area.

The entire region is more than 400 kilometers long from northwest to southeast, covering more than 300,000 square kilometers including 44 counties in three provinces, causing immeasurable losses to the lives and property of the people in this area. According to incomplete statistics, more than 1.4 million houses were washed away, more than 1,900 acres of cultivated land were submerged, and more than 89 million people were caught off guard and died in the belly of the fish, and more than 12 million people were affected.

Billions of tons of sediment from the Yellow River poured into the plains every year, silting up the river, flooding the fields, overflowing the lakes, blocking traffic and shipping, and forming a vast Yellow River flooding area that crosses 44 counties in three provinces.

Every year during the flood season, the Yellow River floods back to flood the farmland, followed by a locust plague, full of sand dunes, the surface of the ground is abrupt and convex, and it is impossible to cultivate, causing serious damage to local agriculture.

This breach directly caused two consecutive years of massive drought from 1941 to 1943, which led to the famous "Great Famine of 1942", in which tens of millions of people became refugees and about 3 million people died of hunger in one place alone.

It is difficult for others to guess the mood of the big boss at that time, and the only thing that is known is that the big boss never mentioned the word union again.

Just when the first vanguard of the No. 2 administrative region crossed the Yellow River, the mysterious situation on the other side of the Pacific Ocean made the Japanese government a little uncertain.

Since abandoning the strategy of advancing northward, the Japanese General Staff Headquarters has been vigorously promoting the strategy of advancing southward.

However, they were well aware of the risks of confronting the British and American powers head-on, and were mentally prepared for a long war. However, if we want to conduct a long-term war, we cannot sustain it without controlling the strategic materials in Southeast Asia, especially oil.

As a result, Japan fell into a series of catastrophic causal "death journeys": if it wanted to expand, it had to move southward, and in order for it to succeed, it had to seize the necessary strategic materials such as oil, rubber, and iron ore in Southeast Asia, which was a colony of Western countries, and to seize these war materials would inevitably involve it in a war with the United States and Britain.

Since there will be a war anyway, of course, it is a preemptive strike.

Pearl Harbor is a major hub for maritime traffic in the Pacific Ocean, with between 2,000 nautical miles and 3,000 nautical miles from the west coast of the United States, Japan to the west, islands to the southwest, and Alaska and the Bering Strait to the north.

Planes traveling north and south across the Pacific Ocean use Hawaii as a transit point.

The Japanese General Staff Headquarters held that seizing air and sea supremacy in the Pacific Ocean first meant that the road to the south was unimpeded, and Pearl Harbor must be destroyed first in order to ensure the initiative in operations against the United States.

The main figure who brought about this resolution was Isoroku Yamamoto, who raised the question of whether the United States would stand idly by at the request of Britain and France at the request of countries such as Britain and France, even if the interests of the United States in Southeast Asia were not moved. This was the most direct reason for the Japanese base camp to plan the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.

Later, at a meeting of the Emperor of Japan, the action was formally approved.

Soon after, the decision to send troops to the Pacific was approved at another Imperial Council attended by the emperor himself, but it was also decided that if the United States agreed to Japan's main demands, the plan of action would be canceled.

The reason for this absurd plan is that Japan is well aware of the war implications of the New World, which claims to be the chosen nation.

"The United States rejected our offer." Yamamoto Fifty-six looked at the information in his hand and sighed, "Send a signal!" ”

"Climbing the New High Mountain 1218"

Nanyun Zhong looked at the telegram in his hand and gave the order loudly, "The fleet keeps the communication silent!" ”

In the windy and rough Pacific Ocean, a huge fleet quietly headed for the Hawaiian Islands.

The Japanese ambassador to the United States stood outside the door of the office of the U.S. Secretary of State, glanced at the time, took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in.

Almost at the same moment when the declaration of war was submitted, the Japanese aircraft carrier.

Nagumo Zhongyi looked at the pilot in front of him and shouted, "Gentlemen! The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom, and then this war! ”

"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!"

With an earth-shattering roar, one plane after another leaped off the deck and swooped down on Oahu.

Soon, the air defense radar deployed outside the Pearl Harbor base on Oahu spotted the overwhelming number of Japanese fighters.

"What's that?" A soldier on duty at the air defense position looked at his companion suspiciously, "Did you say that there was a plane coming over today?" ”

My companion was also puzzled, "I haven't heard of it." ”

The long-term peace has made these GIs completely unvigilant, and there are even GI veterans fishing on the battleships in Pearl Harbor.

At this time, the piercing air defense sirens sounded, and the two people chatting on the air defense position were stunned for a moment before they reacted, looked at each other and shouted, "Enemy attack!" ”

However, it was already too late.

Just as they were panicking towards the combat position when they heard the alarm, the first aerial bomb fell, accurately hitting the anti-aircraft position.

"Boom"

The anti-aircraft machine gun was blown into parts, and along with the flying stumps, a terrible bloody flower bloomed, and the whole Pearl Harbor was instantly chaotic.

The soldiers could not find the officers, the officers could not find the soldiers, everywhere there were panicked crowds, everywhere there were cries of terror, and the consequences that had been peaceful for a long time were exposed at this moment.
