Give Douluo a technological shock

The hundreds of thousands of Star Dou citizens below suddenly erupted in a terrifying uproar!

"Ordinary people can now join the army!!!"

"The energy storage core is finally fully open for use!! Hahaha!!!"

"Fully external soul cores!! We're finally no longer bound by the fixed production of Pandora cores!! I want to participate!!"

"Brothers! The opportunity to serve our country and make a name for ourselves has finally opened up!! No more waiting for Pandora Core quotas!!"

"She's insane!! Insane!! She's sending ordinary people to the battlefield!! She's insane!!"

"Hahaha!! No, no, no!! Professor Chen's words: Use tools to control tools! Use tools to nurture people! Hahaha! Finally, someone dares to reinterpret the motto of the School of Engineering!!"

Some felt that this was an opportunity for ordinary people who couldn't yet possess soul power to make a name for themselves, while others thought that Ju Zi must have gone mad, and still others felt that the concept of soul tools had been extended once again. In short, Ju Zi's decision was like hot coal falling into dry wood, instantly igniting a raging fire in the hearts of the people of the Star Dou Empire!

Chen Fu previously pursued the career of professional Soul Master soldiers because the Star Dou Empire was just starting out. Firstly, there was a lack of resources, and secondly, there was a lack of talent. So, he first focused on the elite soldier route. Ordinary people entering the army would not have been of any benefit to Star Dou at that time.

However, the situation is different now. The production of Pandora Cores is limited. So far, all the Soul Masters in Xingdou with Soul Power, including Pandora Soul Masters, number no more than 100,000. Most of them are ordinary people from the general public.

Furthermore, with the reserve resources of the Kunlun Continent, the Star Dou Empire, which usually needs to be restrained in its resource spending due to planning for the future, can now act with complete freedom.

The Star Dou Empire's energy storage technology has always been far ahead of the world. After all, Chen Fu's first-generation Ark Core was a high-capacity energy storage device. Later, the Star Dou Empire also learned Chen Fu's first and second-generation energy storage technologies, and even a few people learned the third generation. After all, even Fan Yu from Bodein Academy could learn it, and many people in the Star Dou Engineering Institute could also produce third-generation cores, although it was very slow and not very cost-effective. In terms of energy technology, the only thing that no one in the Star Dou Engineering Institute had yet to learn was the third-generation Ark Reactor, a giant structure; everything else was Chen Fu's true teaching.

However, the technology needed by the new modern ordinary people's soul tool army is all second-generation energy storage technology that can be mass-produced. As long as the higher-ups dare to open the door and provide resources, the people at the Star Dou Engineering Institute can directly standardize the parts and create a soul power energy storage core production line on-site!

Then there are the supporting soul-powered firearms, cannons, armor, vehicles, and even experimental weapons like flying soul-guided fighters, all of which can be designed and modified on-site to create suitable models. After all, apart from consumables like shells, many military weapons actually have some energy storage components added to them.

However, no one has ever thought of sending ordinary people to the battlefield, so this plan has never been mentioned. After all, according to the Pandora Core's approach, everyone will eventually gain soul power, so there is no need to send ordinary people to the battlefield.

However, given the current widespread shortage of manpower, extraordinary measures are needed, and

Huo Yuhao, standing in the crowd, seemed to have realized something, and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine! Even though he was still in a soul state, he still felt a shiver run through his entire body!

Wang Dong, who was standing next to Huo Yuhao and had a metal soul tool arm with a bandage around his neck, keenly sensed Huo Yuhao's unusual soul movement. He leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear and whispered, "What's wrong, Yuhao?"

Thanks to his powerful physique, even after using the ultimate explosive skill [Haotian Great Sumeru Hammer], Wang Dong only slept for two days before waking up, just in time for Ju Zi's coronation ceremony.

With his soul in a somewhat unstable state, Huo Yuhao murmured absently, his eyes glazed over, "She's right. The Sun and Moon Empire's energy storage technology is extremely powerful. Their solar energy storage technology is also very advanced."

"And advanced energy technology means that even the sun and moon can amassed troops. It allows ordinary people to unleash the destructive power of Soul Masters on the battlefield, something I'm only just realizing now."

Huo Yuhao looked extremely frustrated and somewhat dejected. He had realized that if he were to deal with the Sun Moon Empire, he would not so easily break the established rule of 'not letting ordinary people go to the battlefield,' and he also did not know just how terrifying the Sun Moon Empire's war potential was!

With their hands tied and a slight underestimation of their enemy, the Star Dou Empire is bound to suffer extremely heavy losses when it crashes head-on into the Sun Moon Empire's massive human tide!

The Star Empire must be prepared for a protracted war with the Sun Moon Empire from the very beginning of the war!

Huo Yuhao said somewhat dejectedly, "I feel so useless."

The series of setbacks made Huo Yuhao doubt himself and feel more confused about the future.

As the last disciple of Chen Fu and Electrolux, Huo Yuhao could sense the attitude of the Sword Pavilion, a gathering of god-level powerhouses, towards the Star Dou Empire, a mortal force: if it had so many advantages but still failed to defeat other countries in the same field, then the Sword Pavilion would question the meaning of the Star Dou Empire's existence, and might even choose to short the Sun and Moon and establish a 'New Star Dou'.

This is definitely not the situation Huo Yuhao wants to see.

Wang Dong skillfully controlled the force with his intact right hand, patted Huo Yuhao's shoulder, and comforted him, "How could that be? You are now the dean of the Star Dou Engineering Institute. Who dares to say that the dean of the Star Dou Engineering Institute is useless?"

After being forced to abdicate by Ju Zi, Huo Yuhao returned to the Star Dou Engineering Institute, resuming his original profession and leading the Star Dou Empire's research on soul tools.

"Besides, your [Super-Range Missile] project isn't finished yet. Once your missile project yields its final results, we'll be far ahead of the world in the field of Soul Guidance Missiles! History will definitely record your achievements in great detail then!"

In Wang Dong's view, Huo Yuhao's long-range missile program, which boasts ranges starting at a thousand kilometers, will undoubtedly continue to revolutionize existing fixed-position soul-guided missile technology. It's worth noting that the Star Dou Empire's strategic-level [Truth] Soul Cannon, according to the latest theoretical range, can only maintain a range of less than five hundred kilometers. In terms of range alone, they are products of completely different eras!

Huo Yuhao sighed inwardly, then smiled at Wang Dong and said, "Yes! I will try my best!"

Then, Huo Yuhao's somewhat ethereal fingers unconsciously brushed across Wang Dong's cheek as he gently said, "You're so good, Dong'er."

A blush unconsciously crept across Wang Dong's pretty face.

Although the two are now on opposite sides of the 'human-ghost divide', the atmosphere between them remains unusually ambiguous, which ultimately leads to them not paying much attention to the arrangements made by Empress Ju Zi later.

All I remember is that Ye Xuan's Azure Wolf Cavalry Legion also went to Xingluo territory, supposedly to support the front lines and scout the terrain.

Anyway, none of that mattered to Huo Yuhao anymore; he only needed to care about his soul tool. As for the rest... Huo Yuhao indicated he trusted Ju Zi.

There was nothing Huo Yuhao could do if he didn't believe it. He didn't know how history would record him. A deposed emperor? An idiot? Or a moron? And just thinking about it gave him a headache.

So Huo Yuhao decided to stop worrying about it and instead focus on his missile program, dedicating himself to it and ultimately proving his worth with the results of his soul-guided device technology.

Hopefully, my achievements in soul tool technology can overshadow my past as a political novice.

As Huo Yuhao left the coronation ceremony of Empress Dawn and headed to the new campus of the Star Dou Engineering Academy, he couldn't help but think this on the way.

Just as the Star Dou Empire was undergoing drastic reforms, news began to spread that Ju Zi had led his army to be crowned emperor in Star Dou.

"How could there be a woman?"

When the Douling King, whose imperial title had been stripped, heard this news, his mouth gaped open for a long time, but he dared not finish speaking, even though the palace was now filled with his entourage.

Then, King Douling abruptly changed the subject, loudly proclaiming to his ministers, "By my decree, summon all ministers to discuss the congratulatory gifts to present to Empress Dawn."

In the Heavenly Soul Kingdom, the current Heavenly Soul King is a child less than ten years old. During the defense of the Heavenly Soul capital, the original crown prince perished in the war, and the Heavenly Soul Emperor was taken away by the Star Dou Army. In the end, a woman named Orange directly appointed a child less than ten years old from the royal family as their king. The remaining ministers of the Heavenly Soul Kingdom dared not resist and could only accept it.

However, the young Heavenly Soul King was also quite intelligent. Seeing the ministers below discussing the Dawn Empress of the Star Dou Empire, he took the initiative to speak:

"Ministers, I... I think we should send a congratulatory gift to Empress Dawn?"

The ministers below quickly agreed and then began to discuss the troublesome matter of 'gift-giving'.

Meanwhile, in the capital of the Star Luo Empire, the Star Luo Emperor, who had already handed over all the defensive troops to Xu Mu, the commander of the Fourth Army of the Star Dou, had a rather complicated expression after hearing the news that the Sun and Moon Woman had been crowned emperor in the Star Dou.

During this period, Xu Mu continuously incorporated the Star Luo army into the Fourth Army, training soldiers capable of using soul-guided firearms and strictly enforcing the defense plan. Ultimately, they withstood the Sun Moon Empire's rapid offensive. The Fourth Army had ample military supplies, and the high-level combat power within Star Luo City was concentrated, forcing the Sun Moon Empire to bypass Star Luo City and invade other areas. However, because Star Luo City would act as a thorn in the Sun Moon army's weakest point in their 'blitzkrieg', even the Sun Moon army at the forefront of bypassing Star Luo City dared not invade too deeply, ultimately having to turn back and relentlessly attack Star Luo City.

Upon learning that the Sun and Moon Woman had become Empress in the Starry Sky, the Star Luo Emperor, who had aged considerably, couldn't help but go to the military tent in the city and ask the still taciturn and composed Xu Mu, "I want to ask, what is your attitude towards this?"

39288518.

Chapter 281: The Battle to Defend Star Luo, the Technological Suppression from the Star Dou! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Chapter 288 The Battle to Defend Star Luo: The Technological Suppression from the Star Dou Realm! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Needless to say, Xu Mu, the increasingly taciturn master of Xingluo City, silently watched the Xingluo Emperor walk in from outside the military tent. He watched until the Xingluo Emperor felt a little uncomfortable, and then Xu Mu slowly said:

"The rank of the commander-in-chief of the Dawn Fleet is higher than that of the commander of the Fourth Army Corps. That's my stance."

Military orders are absolute; obeying orders is Xu Mu's attitude.

"Oh, right, there's something I need to report to you."

Having obtained the information he wanted, the Star Luo Emperor, who was about to leave, suddenly turned back and asked in confusion, "What is it?"

Xu Mu silently looked at the Star Luo Emperor, and after a while, he spoke: "The Fourth Army has already lost two thousand men. This rate of attrition is very dangerous. I want to incorporate your fifty thousand Star Luo troops into our army, and reorganize them at a ratio of five to one. We will have enough weapons and supplies to last us for a month. The Fourth Army cannot afford to die."

The Fourth Army's members are mostly Soul Masters, proficient in the use and repair of Soul Tools, and a few elites can even find materials on-site to craft Soul Tool weapons. These 'intellectuals' are truly too valuable to lose.

Xu Mu's words to the Xingluo Emperor can be translated as: I want your 50,000 troops.

Moreover, it wasn't just a simple loan; it was a direct five-to-one mixed reorganization! This meant that the Star Luo Emperor might completely lose the last remaining troops he had!

The Star Luo Empire had a total of over 200,000 troops, but 100,000 of them were wiped out by the Sun Moon Empire's blitzkrieg in the Mingdou Mountains. Moreover, the Sun Moon Empire's advance was too fast, and the Star Luo Empire did not receive the collapsed troops, resulting in the Star Luo Empire having less than 150,000 combat-ready troops.

Of these, Xingluo City had 50,000 troops, while the remaining 100,000 were stationed in the eastern border of the Xingluo Empire, providing mutual cover for Xingluo City. Xingluo City served as an anchor point, drawing back the main force of the Sun and Moon Army, while the 100,000 troops behind it formed a well-coordinated net, selectively trading space for time to wear down the Sun and Moon Army's advance.

“I know something about Commander Dawn. New reinforcements will arrive in a few days. We need to gather some strength to break through the current encirclement.”

Seeing the struggling expression on the Star Luo Emperor's face, Xu Mu continued, "Moreover, the intensity of their attacks has increased in recent days, and they are withdrawing their forces from the Western Territory. Our days will become even more difficult."

"Of course, even tougher days are yet to come. The first batch of Sun Moon Army numbered 150,000, of which 50,000 were tied up in the western border. We managed to hold off 100,000 with our 150,000. After two months of preparation, their second wave of troops may be coming soon."

"A second wave?!" The Star Luo Emperor was somewhat unwilling to believe that the Sun Moon Empire hadn't even used its full strength to attack him!

"The Star Dou assessment report on Sun and Moon shows that the number of Soul Masters in Sun and Moon is expected to be close to 300,000. Excluding the Soul Masters who maintain production, Sun and Moon can muster an army of 250,000 Soul Masters."

Emperor Xingluo: "."

'Of course. Maybe even higher,' Xu Mu silently added to himself.

A flicker of struggle crossed the Star Luo Emperor's eyes. He looked up at Xu Mu, who was still silently watching him and waiting for his reply, and said in a deep voice, "Then are you confident of victory?"

"We'll only know once we try," Xu Mu said quietly. "However, if reinforcements arrive in time, we might be able to push the battle line back to Xingluo City, and then rely on Xingdou to continuously supply blood, gradually pushing the battle line back to the Mingdou Mountains area."

"If the Dawn Fleet arrives in time, the time it takes to push the battle line back to the Mingdou Mountains will be greatly shortened."

The Star Luo Emperor was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll do as you say!"

Having received a satisfactory reply, Xu Mu smiled slightly and said, "I won't let you down."

"I hope so." Emperor Xingluo sighed, then turned and left Xu Mu's military tent.

After Emperor Xingluo left, Xu Mu continued to silently look at the military map on his table.

On the map, Xingluo City is like a nail, forcing the Sun and Moon Army's offensive to split into two like jelly. Although the defensive lines in the north and south near Xingluo City have been breached, resulting in Xingluo City still being surrounded by the Sun and Moon Army, Xu Mu believes that the more the Sun and Moon Army tries to break through the western border of Xingluo, the greater the risk of being torn apart by Xingluo City.

Furthermore, Xu Mu also discovered the weakness of the Soul Guidance Device of the [Harmony] Legion in the Sun Moon Army.

'Orange, Orange, I've given you the chance, let's see if you can seize it.' Xu ​​Mu murmured to himself, then planted a wolf-shaped battle flag in the western border of the Star Luo Empire, which was also the weakest point in the Sun Moon Army's territory.

'It's a pity that he's been trapped in battle,' Xu Mu sighed inwardly. Then he planted a naval battle flag in the Tianming Sea in the northern part of the western border of the Star Luo Empire, which is adjacent to the coastline of Tianhun Star Luo and Sun and Moon.

The news that the Vanguard Legion could not be at full strength was a very painful one for Xu Mu, as many of the soldiers were people he had led.

Xu Mu is quite an extraordinary person. He has been a spy, a farmer, a member of the Trapped Camp, and a member of the Wolf Riders. He has a down-to-earth attitude, a generous heart, keen perception, a firm will, and a wolf-like sense of danger. If he hadn't been interested in being an official and didn't like to stand out, it would have been a question whether Huo Yuhao could have successfully established a provisional government.
