Start by conquering the world with unlimited job opportunities.

Chapter 429, the Battle of the Great Wall at Sea, officially begins!!

The gate is open.

Yu Bo stepped in first, followed closely by Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei.

The other core members followed in turn.

When their feet touched the ground inside the Great Wall at sea.

When one's vision is able to clearly see the scene ahead.

Even Fang Qingyu and others, who had already seen the internal structure of the Arctic Great Wall, were not fooled.

His pupils also involuntarily contracted slightly.

An expression of astonishment appeared on his face, which he could not suppress.

The facilities and buildings here are similar to those in the Great Wall of the Arctic.

Hidden inside are actually a series of ridiculously large cities.

However, the Great Wall at sea is much larger than the Great Wall in the Arctic.

This means that the Great Wall that emerges from the sea is only the smallest part.

On the contrary, the Great Wall, built underwater, continues to be widened.

Otherwise, such an effect cannot be achieved.

Their current foothold.

It appears to be a wide covered bridge located at a very high altitude.

Looking down, the bottom was invisible.

All that can be seen are layers upon layers of densely packed, honeycomb-like building structures, and countless crisscrossing aerial tracks and walkways, on which small transport vehicles and pedestrians flow endlessly.

Looking up, the dome stretches far and wide.

The soft light source, mimicking natural daylight, casts a comfortable glow.

You can even see some shade-tolerant vines hanging down decoratively.

It alleviates the oppressive feeling brought about by the enclosed environment.

Looking ahead, the view is extremely wide open.

Buildings of various functions stand side by side, all in a unified style of sturdy and practical federal architecture.

But its scale is astonishing.

Training grounds, supply depots, barracks, repair shops, hospitals, and even small commercial streets and leisure plazas.
Everything you need for living and fighting is available here.

And
This is only the area they have seen so far.

Just now, outside, I wondered just how big that seemingly endless Great Wall really was.

They had no idea what to expect.

"This"

Chu Kuanglan's facial muscles twitched, as if he were trying to find a word to describe it, but in the end he could only stammer out: "How did the Federation manage to do that?! Did they start building it ten years ago? That doesn't make sense."

Qi Hao, Lin Kang, and the others behind him were also somewhat puzzled.

It's not because of its internal prosperity.

It has only been a few months since the arrival of the Ghost of Fate.

How could humans possibly achieve this in such a short time?

Such a magnificent building!?

And it was underwater.

The difficulty level is much higher.

This is something that even top-tier superhumans like themselves find hard to understand.

And those who entered the Great Wall for the first time.

The Dawn Legion recruits are passing through the gate in neat rows.

At this moment, they could no longer suppress their gasps and uproar.

"My God, is this what it's like inside?!"

"Is this really inside the walls? It feels even more vast than it appears from the outside!"

"Look over there! That training ground is probably several times bigger than the central square in our Qingjian City!"

"And those tracks... are those shuttles? How do they run inside?"

A wave of exclamations swept through the ranks of new recruits.

The originally solemn military discipline was almost lost, and officers at all levels had to repeatedly shout at each other.

Only then did the group return to silence.

But the shock and disbelief on those young faces could not be concealed.

Yu Bo took in everyone's reactions and smiled understandingly.

He looked at Fang Qingyu beside him, who also had a look of surprise on his face, and explained, "It's shocking, isn't it?"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the vast city below, and slowly said, "In fact, the Federation's efforts alone were not enough to accomplish all of this and transform the Great Wall at Sea from a blueprint into reality in such a short time."

His words caught the attention of Fang Qingyu, Wei Banmeng, and the others, and their eyes all turned to him.

Yu Bo looked at them, his tone filled with respect: "All of this is inseparable from the great help of a powerful figure of our human race. In fact, not only this Great Wall at sea, but also the main structure of the previous Great Wall in the Arctic, the most core and difficult parts of which were all completed under his leadership."

"Oh?"

Fang Qingyu raised an eyebrow, curiosity rising in his heart.

Such a miraculous project could be accomplished.

He's definitely not an ordinary person.

"Most of you know that man; he is a descendant of the Zhou royal family, and later generations generally refer to him as Gongshu Ban."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

Then Wei Banmeng was the first to come to her senses, and said with surprise, "The ancestor Lu Ban!?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Bo smiled and nodded: "That's right, it is indeed Master Lu Ban. However, Master Lu Ban dislikes empty fame and is unwilling to get involved in worldly disputes. He has always remained behind the scenes, focusing on the art of craftsmanship, so it's good that we know about it."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Even though everyone is wondering if Lu Ban could still be alive today.

But because of what Yu Bo just said, no one asked any more questions.

However, if that's the case, then it makes sense.

It is possible to build a project like the Great Wall at sea in a short period of time.

Only this first craftsman could make it seem reasonable.

Soon, at Yu Bo's instruction...

A colonel-level officer accompanying him stepped forward to meet with Xiao Jiu and Da Lei.

They began to guide the officers and soldiers of the Dawn Legion, dividing them into several streams, and leading them along different corridors and passages to areas designated for them to familiarize themselves with and rest in.

Although the main force of the Dawn Legion is stationed in the City of Injustice.

However, according to the regulations for the coordinated defense of the Great Wall at sea, sufficient emergency assembly points, supply channels, and rapid response zones must be reserved inside the Great Wall.

So that when the war becomes intense or unexpected situations arise.

They can quickly enter the city to provide support or take turns resting.

This is a tedious but very important task.

Fang Qingyu looked at the orderly blue torrent below and nodded to Bo: "Thank you for your trouble."

Yu Bo smiled and waved his hand: "It's my duty. General Fang, everyone, please come with me. We'll go to the headquarters first. The pre-battle meeting will begin soon."

As he spoke, he led Fang Qingyu and the others.

Head towards one of the entrances on one side of the covered bridge.

Upon entering, it was discovered that it wasn't a room, but an extremely spacious carriage made entirely of some kind of high-strength transparent material.

The interior of the carriage is simple and bright, with soft carpets.

The seat is fixed in place for comfort.

Yu Bo explained, "This is a light rail shuttle connecting the major areas of the Great Wall. It uses magnetic levitation technology to quickly travel within the Great Wall."

Everyone took their seats as instructed.

The shuttle door closed silently.

The next moment, you can hardly feel any acceleration or push-back sensation.

The view outside the window suddenly became blurry.

Only the fixed, magnificent outlines of those buildings in the distance give one the sense that we are moving at a terrifying speed.

Fang Qingyu's gaze fell out the window, and he suddenly asked, "General Yu, how many combat personnel are permanently stationed in the entire A7 war zone, including my Dawn Legion?"

This is basic information that he, as the head of the war zone, needs to know.

Yu Bo withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and replied, "Currently, the total number of registered combat personnel at all levels under the command of the A7 theater command is approximately 1.03 million. This does not include those on rotation, or those belonging to other systems but subject to unified deployment during wartime."

"Over a million?!"

Chu Kuanglan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but repeat it aloud.

He knew that the Great Wall at Sea was enormous.

But no one expected that the A7 theater alone would have a standing force of a million.

This is roughly equivalent to the total number of troops that humans deployed in the previous Arctic campaign.

It's important to understand that these more than one million people are all extraordinary warriors capable of going to the battlefield.

This does not include the even larger number of non-combat personnel inside the Great Wall, such as those responsible for logistics support, engineering maintenance, and medical care.

Seeing Chu Kuanglan's reaction, Yu Bo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Because the A7 war zone has the powerful mobile fortress of the City of Injustice and your Dawn Legion stationed there, the defensive pressure is relatively small, and the number of permanent troops allocated to it is already relatively small compared to other war zones."

His tone became more serious: "In this Great Wall of the Sea project, the Federation has exhausted its reserves and mobilized all available resources. The entire Great Wall currently houses more than 30 million superhuman warriors! Moreover, this number continues to increase as mobilization and training in the rear are completed. If the battle on the front lines goes smoothly and casualties are under control, it is not impossible for it to double in number later."

Hearing the number 30 million...

Even though Chu Kuanglan and the others were already mentally prepared, they couldn't help but secretly click their tongues in amazement.
Even Fang Qingyu.

A very subtle ripple also flashed across his dark eyes.

He knew that the Federation had a deep-rooted foundation.

It's easy to imagine how long the Federation had been secretly preparing for this final battle.

The atmosphere inside the shuttle.

The number lends it a somber air.

Everyone understands the significance of this number.

The shuttle traveled at high speed through a silence.

About a quarter of an hour later.

The light outside the window suddenly became brighter and more expansive.

Those dense industrial areas and training grounds are gradually being replaced by more planned and magnificent building complexes.

The space here seems more expansive, the dome is higher, and the architecture is more exquisite and grand.

People on the street were still hurrying along.

However, their attire was more diverse, and many of them clearly resembled high-ranking military officers, government civilians, or technical experts.

"Here we are."

Yu Bo's voice broke the silence.

"This is the core hub of the Great Wall at Sea, the Dragon Ridge region. The General Command, the Federal Frontline Supreme Council, and the core institutions of various systems are all located here."

The shuttle car gradually slowed down and finally came to a smooth stop in a brightly lit platform.

The car door slid open, and a cacophony of noise rushed into my ears.

Yu Bo was the first to stand up and lead everyone out of the shuttle.

Outside the platform is a vast and magnificent hall with a ceiling height of over a hundred meters.

The ground is so shiny it reflects light like a mirror, and the dome is a huge simulated sky.

It reflects the clear blue sky.

It almost makes you forget that you are inside a giant underwater wall.

Yu Bo led the group toward the most magnificent building on one side of the hall.

That place is the headquarters of the Great Wall at Sea.

At this moment, many people dressed in various military uniforms or formal attire, with varying degrees of aura but all solemn expressions, are converging into the building's gate from different directions.

Clearly, these were all high-ranking officials from various parties who came to attend this pre-battle mobilization meeting.

Just as Fang Qingyu and the others were about to reach the entrance gate.

Suddenly, a woman's voice, visibly tense yet trying to remain calm, came from beside me:

"Hello! General Fang!"

The crowd paused, turning to look in the direction of the sound.

A woman, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, dressed in the uniform of a federal colonel, with delicate features and a very capable appearance, was standing to the side, giving Fang Qingyu a standard military salute with a slightly nervous expression.

Her gaze was mainly fixed on Fang Qingyu.

With obvious awe and a hint of excitement.

"My name is Jiang Qi! I belong to the Third Department of the General Staff. I have been assigned to be the special liaison and coordination person between the A7 Theater and you for this Great Wall at Sea campaign! I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

She spoke quickly and clearly, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after she finished.

But he remained standing ramrod straight, waiting for a response.

Fang Qingyu was slightly taken aback, then looked at Yu Bo.

Yu Bo immediately explained with a smile, "This was specially arranged for you by Elder Hong. Elder Hong was worried that you were too busy and didn't have time to handle the daily coordination and paperwork of the war zone. Officer Jiang has been in the General Staff for many years and has rich experience in handling military coordination. She is meticulous and can assist you. Several war zones were vying for her before, but Elder Hong intercepted her and sent her to you."

Fang Qingyu understood immediately, a gentle smile appearing on his face. He extended his hand, saying, "I see. Officer Jiang, there's no need to be nervous. I'll be relying on you in the future. We'll discuss things in more detail after the meeting."

His demeanor was calm, and his voice was steady.

There was none of the oppressive or aloof feeling one might expect from an unparalleled powerhouse.

Jiang Qi looked at the hand extended in front of her, then at the approachable smile on Fang Qingyu's face, and was clearly stunned for a moment, as if she hadn't expected the legendary Fang Shen to be like this.

So he subconsciously reached out and lightly shook hands with Fang Qingyu, then quickly said, "Yes, General Fang! I understand!"

He looked somewhat at a loss, yet forced to remain calm.

Chu Kuanglan and the others watching secretly found it amusing.

Seeing this, Su Wanqing smiled and stepped forward, saying softly, "Commander Jiang, let's go in together, the meeting is about to begin."

Jiang Qi then seemed to snap out of her daze and quickly nodded, "Okay."

I followed the group somewhat awkwardly.

Yu Bo whispered to Fang Qingyu with a smile, "Don't let Jiang Xiaoguan's youth and the fact that she's a woman with only third-level strength fool you. She's quite adept at military command, intelligence analysis, and coordinating relationships between various parties."

Fang Qingyu nodded.

Turn your gaze to the door leading to the general headquarters auditorium.

The crowd followed the flow of people inside.

The interior of the Great Hall of the People is even more magnificent and spectacular than it appears from the outside.

The tiered seating, arranged in a fan shape, surrounded the central stage and was now packed with people.

At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of people.

These people were all composed and had long held high positions.

Fourth-order and third-order are commonplace.

And the heads of various important departments
It can be said that human civilization is still able to stand on the stage, with more than 80% of the high-end combat forces and decision-makers gathered here at this moment.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the empty stage.

Fang Qingyu and others were guided by staff.

They took their seats in the corresponding area of ​​the A7 theater.

Jiang Qi sat quietly in the assistant staff position behind Fang Qingyu, quickly getting into the zone, taking out her personal terminal, and starting to record and verify information.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Finally, the curtain on the side of the stage moved.

A figure walked out with steady steps.

Hong Qitian, dressed in a dark military uniform with his hair neatly combed, walked solemnly to the center of the rostrum.

His gaze slowly swept across the faces of the audience.

Hong Qitian didn't waste any words.

The sound echoed clearly in every corner of the deathly silent meeting room, and also, through encrypted channels, was transmitted to every war zone, every fortress, and every warship of the Great Wall at Sea:
"Everyone."

I hereby declare

"The Battle of the Great Wall at Sea has officially begun!!!"
