[Magic Core Cannon: A fixed defensive weapon that cannot be moved. After installing the magic core, it can release the magic cannonballs.]
Duohuang did not even have a city wall. In order to unleash the power of the magic core cannon, they had to build a city wall for Duohuang first.
After completely abolishing the slave trade, they could free a batch of slave labor. Ning Shi planned to hire them to build a city wall.
All of this could only be slowly realized after unifying Duohuang.
[Main Storyline Mission 3: Occupy the entire Duohuang City.]
As expected, the main storyline mission of the game was to establish a force. Who knows, they might have to fight for hegemony later on and unify the continent?
Ning Shi was not against this.
To wake up and control the world, to be drunk on a beauty's knees, was the ultimate dream of many men.
It was not bad to experience it in the game.
[Incoming call, the contact is "Xiao Yun from the Special Affairs Department".]
Yun Moxiang called and Ning Shi picked up.
"Consultant Ning, after a week, the consultant entry procedures have been completed. The permissions of your awakener forum account have been changed simultaneously. You can log into the relevant sections to see the information about the insect plague."
"In addition, the school's matters have been completed. The student reporting work has begun. It is estimated that 5000 students will be enrolled. The school will start in three days."
"Are you free tomorrow morning? I will take you to the school to take a look and meet the teachers. If you have any requests, you can also make them."
"There will be a school opening meeting when the school starts. As the principal, you will give a commencement speech."
"Do you need me to prepare a speech for you?"
Ning Shi was still a little nervous about becoming the principal.
"I'll prepare the speech myself. There's no need for you to prepare it."
Yun Moxiang habitually complimented, "As expected of the youngest consultant in the Special Affairs Department. Your style of work is excellent and you do things personally. You are not like some old consultants who need a liaison to do everything."
"Then tomorrow at 9 a.m., I will wait for you at your residential building and drive you to school."
"Okay, see you tomorrow!"
Ning Shi hung up the phone and looked at the time. It was already 7 p.m., so he exited the first perspective and let his avatar take action.
After ordering take-out, Ning Shi immediately logged into the awakener forum. He found the "family matters" section in the corner of the forum and clicked in.
"The account permissions are at the headquarters level. You can inquire about the information in the section. Please comply with the relevant policies and regulations, and strictly abide by relevant confidentiality."
"Please follow the instructions to perform facial recognition...facial recognition successful."
"Please follow the instructions to perform an iris scan..."
"It has been detected that the account host has not installed an iris scanner. The scan has failed. The identity authentication is password plus face recognition. It is considered a weak authentication. Only part of the information can be browsed."
After the authentication process, Ning Shi entered the "family matters" section.
"Introduction to world boundary: World boundary, also known as the world corridor, is a passage connecting to the other world. According to the analysis of the characteristics of the three world boundaries discovered by our country, the length of the world boundary is usually about 50 kilometers, the width is about 10 kilometers, and the safe height is about 1000 meters."
"Our country once sent drones into the sky above the world boundary. At a height of more than 1000 meters, it was a violent space storm. Any material that entered it would be crushed."
"The formation period of the world boundary was expected to be between one month and half a year. In the beginning, it was just a gray and narrow space, but as time passed, it slowly formed a space corridor. During the formation period, entering the world boundary was dangerous as one would be swept into a space storm."
"After the formation period ended, the boundary stabilized and fortifications could be built."
"Inside the world boundary, the land was barren. The oxygen content in the air was about 25% to 28%, and the concentration was 4 to 7 percentage points higher than in the outside world. There were no adverse reactions to long-term human habitation."
"At present, there were six known world boundaries in the world, and all of them were insect disaster world boundaries. Among them, there were three in China, one in the Black Bear Country, one in the Mieln Federation, and one in the Kingdom of Mies."
"Passing through the world boundary, the world we entered is called the insect world."
At this point, Ning Shi could not see the rest of the information. His certification was not strong enough, so he could not view the relevant information about the insect world.
Ning Shi began to browse the information on the insects.
"The classification and analysis of the characteristics of the insects in the insect plaque..."
"How to set up a defense according to the characteristics of the insects..."
"How to prevent the splitting of the blood thorn insects..."
"The thunder moth is not afraid of the electric net and fire. It will also release around 1000 volts of electricity. How to target the defense..."
"How to break the hard shell of the golden armored ants..."
Ning Shi's expression was solemn. He saw the cruelty and sacrifice behind the research.
Sure enough, there were battle videos of insects as they entered the world boundary.
Ning Shi clicked on the video.
At the world boundary, the country had set up many layers of tall electric nets and built a metal city wall. There were all kinds of flame shotguns and other weapons on the top of the wall.
The soldiers took their positions in the defense fortifications, preparing for the upcoming battle.
Countless insects gathered together, forming a black storm that rushed toward the defense fortifications.
A text narration appeared in the video.
"The first wave of insects, gold-eating ants. A type of flying ant that can devour all substances and the number was extremely large. The city walls were like food in front of them. Weakness: Fear of fire and electric shock."
The gold-eating ants kept crashing into the electric fence. Gradually, the charred corpses of the gold-eating ants piled up into a mountain below the electric fence.
As the gold-eating ants continued to attack recklessly, a gap was finally gnawed open on the first layer of the electric fence.
They continued to charge toward the second layer of the electric fence along the gap.
After using up three layers of the electric fence, the gold-eating ants were completely eliminated.
Next were the sickle locust and the bloodthirsty mosquito. With the cooperation of the soldiers' fortifications and various weapons, although there were occasional dangerous situations, the line of defense was very stable.
Then, a terrible thing happened.
For the first time, thunder moths appeared at the world boundary.
They ignored the electric current damage of the electric net and easily tore it apart, rushing into the world boundary.
The densely packed thunder moths appeared in front of the soldiers!
The soldiers did not understand the characteristics of the thunder moth at all. The flintlocks were useless and the thick protective clothing could not withstand the electric shock. Countless soldiers were electrocuted to death by the thunder moths.
However, no one retreated. The soldiers moved forward one after another, using their bodies to build a steel wall.
They stood firm at the border, not retreating even if they died!
Fortunately, there were a large number of awakeners participating in the battle. Among them, the electric-type awakeners were not afraid of the thunder moth's electric shock. They supported from all directions, barely maintaining the defensive line.
It was not until some soldiers picked up high-pressure water guns to shoot the thunder moth and discovered the thunder moth's weakness of being afraid of water that they were able to withstand the thunder moth's attack.
After more than an hour of battle, the thunder moths were finally completely destroyed!
At the end of the video, the screen turned black and a white narration appeared.
"The first time I encountered the thunder moth, 4531 heroes died in battle, of which 4219 were ordinary soldiers and 312 were awakeners. One day, the mountains and rivers will be safe, and their names will be written into history."
"If one day, I also become a cold number on the white captions, dear comrades, please don't cry for me. The mountains and rivers of our motherland are so beautiful, and our sacrifices will eventually lead to victory."
After watching the video, Ning Shi's eyes turned red. Just one attack from the thunder moths had killed so many soldiers.
Thinking back to the analysis of the characteristics of the insects he had seen before, it was a summary of how many soldiers had been sacrificed in exchange for the information.
He finally understood the true meaning of that sentence.
"There's no such thing as a peaceful time. It's just that someone is carrying the burden for you."
At this moment, Ning Shi finally understood the great significance of being a principal.
Previously, he had agreed to be a principal because, firstly, he was willing to do something for the strength-type awakeners, and secondly, he felt that the principal's social status was high. In the future, he would have trained a large number of talents, which was a very awesome thing to do.
Now, he had found a more important meaning.
In the wave of the National Awakening, only by contributing his own strength to the country and society would he be worthy of the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives.
To protect the country, he had to start with education.
The takeout arrived. Ning Shi hurriedly had a quick dinner and began to plan the school's affairs carefully.
