Flowers and streamers flutter all over the streets.

The well-groomed Marine Corps followed the command vehicle and advanced all the way.

Every step, every greeting, can cause the onlookers to cheer warmly!

"Long live the First Republic!"

"Long live the Great Leader!"

...

"Don't... Why do you say this as if I have to lose control? ”

Before Lu Fuyan's words were finished, Zhao Manyun's side had already risen into the sky.

For the sake of efficiency, she directly tore open the dome of the underground power plant and galloped towards the scene of the incident.

Lao Lu knew that now was not the time for talks, so he didn't think much about it, but just put his main energy back to the main contradiction of the merger of the two countries.

Since Zhou Congrong tasted the consequences, the integration of the First Republic and the mutants has been going on for nearly 10 minutes.

Compared to when he devoured fragments to replenish his divine power, the absolute speed at which Lu used the help of the [Diplomacy] function to absorb Type III mutants this time was undoubtedly several notches higher than the previous time.

However, due to the disparity in the total amount of divine power held by the two, the progress of the integration of the First Republic and the target object has been quite difficult so far...

It's not hard to understand.

Even putting aside the troubles caused by the desperate fight with the clone Dixon, with the meager background of the First Republic, it would definitely be a big project to swallow up the generator that held the "destruction" level energy.

On the one hand, of course, this is because of the traffic limitation of the AC port at the objective level, which restricts the efficiency of divine power absorption;

What's more, in fact, Lu Fuyan himself subjectively deliberately suppressed the speed of divine power transmission because he was afraid of getting out of control...

Although he himself has not felt any discomfort from the diplomatic strategy of promoting the merger of the two countries so far, it is difficult for the person concerned to detect the contamination of the will of the evil gods.

Especially for Lu someone, who had been subjected to an evil god when using the phase deployment device before, that thrilling "chance encounter" still plagued him with nightmares from time to time, so how dare he unscrupulously absorb foreign divine power?

——And after getting the accessories of the monitoring device from Miss Zhao, the divine power flux of the quantitative display finally dispelled most of the anxiety in this regard!

Although the various readings on the sensor can only be guessed by Lao Lu at present, as long as he has mastered the two key data of the rate of change of divine power and the amount of divine power holding, Lu can let go of his hands and feet and get a reasonable rate range in repeated experiments.

In this way, the progress of the merger of the two countries finally ushered in the first leap forward, and began to climb on the original basis!

Of course...

After the efficiency problem is solved, Lu Fuyan will have to face the danger brought about by the expansion of the total amount of divine power.

According to the occult common sense of the previous popular science, not only can the high-speed absorption of divine power in a short period of time cause side effects, but the jump in the Xu family's energy level in the transcendent's body will also deepen the influence of the evil god's will!

According to Zhao Manyun's statement before leaving, Lao Lu had just raised from the "dangerous" (first) energy level to the "fatal" (second) energy level almost without knowing it.

Even if there will be a certain degree of divine power escape in the process of merging the two countries, resulting in the inability to integrate 100%...

But if the current charging efficiency is maintained, it seems that it is only a matter of time before Lu Fuyan reaches the "destruction" (third) energy level!

As a party, Lao Lu subjectively did not want his "critical illness notice" to come too quickly.

Therefore, he had to manage to consume some of his divine power in the process of advancing the merger operation to ensure that his Xu energy level would not rise continuously.

——Following this line of thought, Lu Fuyan relied on monitoring devices and supporting equipment to start the attempt.

Judging from the various data provided by the [Logistics] panel, under the framework of the First Republic, the [Strategic Materials] reserve is directly linked to divine power.

Therefore, if he wanted to reduce the amount of divine power he held, the first way that Lu thought of was naturally to use the functions of the First Republic to consume part of the [strategic materials] stored in the warehouse.

Therefore, he successively invested in [strategic materials] at the interface of [production and construction] by putting into production weapons and equipment and expanding factories.

However, even though Lu expanded the scale of the factory in the body to more than 600 and stopped the resolution of [improving the working environment] and required all production lines to work overtime to manufacture military products, the upward trend of energy displayed on the detection device still did not change.

"In other words, factories and weapons and equipment are essentially a manifestation of the divine power of evil gods, and increasing investment in the industrial field cannot delay the arrival of the energy level jump..."

If the plan failed, Lu Fuyan was not discouraged.

On the contrary, he drew from the above conclusions and quickly found new ideas!

"If factories and weapons are considered divine powers, then if there is battle damage in the war, wouldn't it..."

Lu frowned, stretched out his arm and gestured twice.

Then he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, ripped off a piece of iron sheet from the shell of the generator, and stabbed it directly at his wrist!

With his current strength, this iron sheet with the length of his forearm completely amputated his wrist almost instantly!

The white bones and bright red flesh exposed on the section made people gasp, but after several tests of life and death, Lu Someone didn't care about this kind of minor illness that was not even a fatal injury...

He skillfully used the NKUD to cut off the pain sensing circuit, and then compared the changes in the First Republic's values with the readings of the detection device before the self-healing function took effect.

In this way, Lao Lu quickly made a new discovery.

- The factories and weapons that were lost due to the injury of the main body were so unexpected, and it really caused the consumption of divine power!

Although this change is not obvious because of the milder degree of injury, as long as a way is found to effectively curb the energy level jump, the rest of the things are obviously not difficult for someone Lu who is burdened with a plug-in.

Lao Lu did not continue to self-harm on the spot, but issued an order to all active troops of the First Republic, and used the [Military Exercise] function unlocked earlier to order all combat units to carry out high-intensity training!

And this time, he did not take back the weapons equipped by the troops in advance to reduce losses, but let them go into battle with real guns and live ammunition for exercises!

As a result, the first, second, and third armies continued to report damage, and a large number of military weapons were consumed with the soldiers in the process, and finally effectively reduced the inventory of divine power in Lu Fuyan's body.

What's even more gratifying is that due to the increase in training intensity, the [Army Experience] gained by Lu through the [Military Exercise] function is far more than the embarrassing period when the soldiers were stabbed each other with burning sticks.

The large amount of experience points thus enriched, in addition to providing the First Republic with more capital to draw cards to select "generals", can also be used to unlock command orders such as [Military Exercises] and [Fight to the Death], which can be regarded as a wave of comprehensive improvement in Lu's actual combat ability!

Of course, the exercises alone are not enough to completely offset the large amount of [strategic material] revenue brought about by the merger of the two countries.

Lu then set his sights on the [Research] interface, hoping to help his neighbors share some of the work pressure through the idle scientific research slots.

It's just surprising that before Lao Lu could select a suitable unlocking project from the technology tree, the underground power plant that had just been in peace for a long time ushered in new guests...
