Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

It was also a super-large nuclear fusion reactor used to create an artificial sun.

Creating an artificial sun is no easy feat. It's not like the little toy Doctor Octopus concocted in Marvel movies. It requires a sufficiently large vessel to create and maintain its operation.

In response, he thought of the planetary engines in the Wandering Planet, which could immediately propel the energy of the explosion into the sky even if it failed, preventing it from being blown up directly.

That would be the best research base for studying nuclear reactions, but building it would require a lot of materials; steel alone would be an astronomical figure.

Of course, he has a way to deal with steel. He can study Xiao Hongchen's three-legged golden toad martial soul, obtain the metal control ability of the soul tool version, and then go to the seabed to find those super-large metal deposits.

This is the right way to approach science fiction: when there's a problem, develop cutting-edge technology to solve it.

As for transporting iron ore, it's not difficult. He simply uses a super-large gravity soul guide core to reduce the weight of the initially refined metal to one percent, and then uses it as a ship to float on the sea. This is also the main reason why he chose to mine in the sea.

"How big is it? Even the combined power of our Sun Moon Empire isn't enough?"

Xu Jinghong was greatly surprised. Based on his understanding of this person over this period of time, something that could be described in such a way must be quite large.

"The planetary engine is the carrier I use to create an artificial sun. In terms of size, the base should be 100 miles in diameter and about 50 miles in height. Although the main body can be made of ordinary alloys, the part that operates the energy inside must be made of special metals. Even with the accumulated resources of your Sun and Moon Empire, it would be difficult."

After briefly describing the planetary engine, Tian Hao explained that he planned to build an ultra-large one so that the artificial sun could be mass-produced, becoming a small sun processing plant and ushering the Douluo World into the nuclear energy era.

Only by solving the energy problem can civilization develop more rapidly; otherwise, it's all just empty talk.

Besides, that thing was also something he used to guard against the God Realm suddenly coming and merging with the Douluo plane. If it really came, he wouldn't mind splitting the God Realm apart.

"Made entirely of metal?"

Their faces twitched. No one could imagine the sheer size of the creation. Even the tallest and largest mountain on the continent wasn't that enormous, yet now it was to be created by human hands.

Let alone making it entirely of metal, even if it were all made of stone, it would take countless years to complete. Judging from the appearance, it would be at least a century-long project.

If it were to be made of metal, the empire's existing reserves would certainly not be enough, and mining would be necessary, which would be a major problem, and even mobilizing the entire nation's resources would be far from sufficient.

This person really dares to think that way!

Chapter 723 The Sun God's Fire Cover

"I will build a super-large soul guide core that controls metal as soon as possible, then mine at the bottom of the sea, and finally use the super-large gravity soul guide core to reduce the weight and transport it from the sea."

However, that would only allow for transport to the coast at most; land transport would require vehicles. My idea is to build it in the area where the Star Luo Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Sun Moon Empire meet. According to the historical information I've gathered, that area has never experienced earthquakes or other geological disasters in thousands of years, and the underlying layers are stable enough.

Furthermore, its location at the crossroads of three great empires also makes it a central hub for communication.

Tian Hao had already calculated everything before revealing the solution; now he was simply finding an opportunity to say it naturally.

Of course, the space elevator project is also necessary, and initial trials must be conducted in order to gain the trust of others and make them willing to mobilize manpower and resources to cooperate in building the planetary engine.

"But even pulling it by cart is no easy task; it's like moving a mountain, and a huge, sacred mountain at that."

Everyone was still very uneasy. This was an extremely heavy burden, one that even the entire empire's power could not accomplish.

Hopefully, this person can find a solution; otherwise, it might take hundreds of years of effort to create that planetary engine.

"Now when we mine underground ore, we lay out a kind of rail with steel, and then put the mine carts on it and pull them, which saves a lot of effort."

I extended this idea by creating the same railway tracks, laying fixed rails with steel, then shaping carriages one after another to pull them, and finally using a soul tool to create a self-rotating locomotive, so that the wheels of the locomotive can turn and pull the carriages behind it forward. In this way, a lot of goods can be pulled.

Of course, it can also be used to attract people and deepen communication among all parties.

Now that we have set our sights on the stars and the sea, the past disputes and hostility will no longer exist. Only by uniting as one and learning from each other's strengths can we adapt to the starry sky.

Not to mention that other civilizations may exist in space. After we leave this world, we will no longer be divided by empires. At that time, we will only have one stance, and that is this world..."

Tian Hao earnestly tried to persuade them, basically telling them to quickly set their sights on the vast universe and then do everything in their power to conquer the stars.

"A railway track, a perfect idea."

Everyone listened with shining eyes, and they all agreed, especially with the idea of ​​a railway track.

Kong Deming and others from the Sun Moon Empire felt this most deeply. Their Sun Moon Empire was dominated by Soul Masters, and the development of Soul Masters was inseparable from various special metals. Some special metals were buried deep in the earth, so it was necessary to open up various mines, and those rail minecarts were the most commonly used means of transportation.

Expanding upon this foundation to create railway lines connecting all parts of the country could indeed increase transportation capacity by hundreds or thousands of times.

Moreover, creating a soul tool that can make wheels turn is not difficult for them; at most, it just requires more power.

However, the railway needs to be built relatively smoothly, which will inevitably involve cutting through mountains and building bridges. This is not a difficult task for them; a few more earth-attribute soul masters can handle it, although it will take a while.

"I will design some soul-guided mechanical devices specifically for opening up mountains and building bridges. You bring the raw materials, and we will make them as soon as possible and start construction."

In addition, you should arrange for a group of Sea Soul Masters to explore the coastal waters surrounding the mainland to see if there are any large mineral veins.

We'll start by mining the near-shore areas, and when that's not enough, we'll move on to the deep-sea areas..."

Tian Hao plans to bring out the tunnel boring machine series of large machines to shape the railway as flat as possible, so that the energy consumption will not be too high when pulling it.

Of course, before that, we need to develop nuclear energy so that the Douluo Continent can enter the nuclear energy era and use nuclear energy as an energy source to keep the train running permanently.

Although Soul Masters exist in this world, they are a minority, and very few Soul Masters possess the ability to dig holes.

The construction of that underground base outside Xingluo City last time took a very long time.

It would be better to build a bunch of tunnel boring machines to replace manual labor and speed up the railway construction process.

"I will instruct them to make preparations after I return."

Xu Jinghong nodded to indicate that she understood and would make the arrangements upon returning.

In this respect, their Sun Moon Empire is the main force, and once the planet's engine is built, they will also be the biggest beneficiaries.

It's worth it!

After chatting for a while and confirming that there was nothing else, Xu Jinghong flew west alone to return to the Sun Moon Empire.

No one was worried about this, because Xu Jinghong was now a level 99 Limit Douluo, and with the support of three soul guide cores, his combat power was much stronger than that of an ordinary Limit Douluo, so he did not need anyone to protect him.

If you actually go, you'll only become a burden.

However, Xu Jinghong's solo return did attract attention, being watched by both Long Xiaoyao and Mu En.

"White worm, stop hiding. I can smell your sour stench from far away."

Xu Jinghong, who was flying at high speed, suddenly stopped and looked at a mountain to his lower left, where he vaguely sensed a familiar aura.

As the owner of the Sun Martial Soul, he is extremely sensitive to the power of light attribute, and Mu En's Martial Soul is the Holy Dragon of Light, which is an extremely powerful light attribute Martial Soul, so he can naturally sense it.

As Xu Jinghong finished speaking, two beams of light, one white and one black, flew out from the mountain peak. They were two old men, one shrouded in black light and the other in white with a hint of gold. Both of them exuded extremely terrifying auras.

"Black Bug, you're here too."

Looking at Long Xiaoyao, who was shrouded in black soul power, Xu Jinghong sneered.

Although he was facing two equally powerful opponents, and the latter had accumulated more experience in the Limit Realm than he had, he was still not afraid at all.

Keep in mind that it's still daytime, with the sun right overhead, which greatly enhances his combat power.

You've broken through!

Sensing Xu Jinghong's soul power aura, Long Xiaoyao's heart sank. He hadn't expected that his old rival would also become a Limit Douluo.

Mu En's expression was also not very good. He didn't care about Xu Jinghong's own breakthrough. The key point was how the opponent broke through.

Could it be related to that person?

Does the other party possess the ability to push one beyond their limits?

If that's the case, then we're in big trouble.

Seeing the change in Moon's expression, Xu Jinghong chuckled and said, "Speaking of this matter, I must thank White Bug for driving you out of Shrek Academy. Otherwise, how would I have had the opportunity to achieve a breakthrough?"

This is not a secret in itself, and that person did not ask for it to be kept secret. In fact, he planned to show his level 99 strength when he returned from this trip, which would inevitably be known by various forces. As long as they investigated, they would know that his breakthrough was related to that person, so there was no need to hide it.

Moreover, that person also wanted to take this opportunity to lure out some hidden super Douluo, using them as bait to get those people to come out and join in, so that they could march towards the stars and the sea together.

Xu Jinghong's admission made Mu En's expression even uglier. He knew that his guess had come true and he was also very regretful that he had failed to teach Shao Zhe and the others well, which led to the situation developing to such an irreversible point.

However, they still have a chance to correct their mistakes.

Thinking of this, Mu En unleashed his divine power, and his mountain-like divine might suppressed Xu Jinghong, causing him to stagger and almost fall.

"You've become a god?"

After regaining his balance, Xu Jinghong was quite shocked.

You should know that the cultivation of a Soul Master becomes more and more difficult as you progress. I was stuck at the bottleneck of level 98 for over a hundred years and could not make any progress. I only broke through with the help of that gentleman.

And this is only the bottleneck at level 98. It's easy to imagine that the bottleneck between level 99 and level 100 will be even more difficult to break through.

Moreover, no one has been able to break through that bottleneck in tens of thousands of years. Even Shrek Academy, which has the inherited power of the Sea God, has only produced one Limit Douluo of level 99 in each generation.

Although Mu En was exceptionally talented, he still couldn't break through that bottleneck. Among his generation, only Ye Xishui, who possessed twin martial souls, had that potential.

Unfortunately, Ye Xishui went mad. Her past experiences became a deep-seated inner demon, and she could never break through it without overcoming it.

what is the problem?

"No, this divine power doesn't contain the dragon's might. It wasn't transformed from you. You're a pseudo-level 100 god who was forcibly elevated by the sea god."

Xu Jinghong quickly realized something was wrong and breathed a sigh of relief.

He had just thought that Mu En had broken through to the level 100 god on his own, but upon closer inspection, he discovered that the other party's divine might did not have the dragon might of before, and the divine power also showed a blue-gold light, which was very similar to the characteristics of the sea god's divine power. Obviously, the other party was a fake who had been forcibly promoted by the sea god Tang San.

Even if my breakthrough isn't perfect, it's enough to take you down!

Mu En activated the Light of the Sea God, preparing to capture Xu Jinghong as soon as possible and then interrogate him to find out everything he knew, such as what kind of conspiracies and schemes that person had with the Sun Moon Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Heavenly Soul Empire, as well as the methods that person used to help Xu Jinghong break through.

"A mere level 100 god with no real skill thinks he can take me down? What a boastful tone."

With a cold snort, Xu Jinghong activated his Martial Soul True Body, transforming into a golden sun. The intense heat emanating from it instantly distorted the surrounding air.

"A natal soul tool?"

Sensing the power that Xu Jinghong unleashed, far exceeding that of a Limit Douluo, Mu En hadn't yet discerned anything, but Long Xiaoyao was taken aback.

He didn't spend so many years in the Sun Moon Empire for nothing; he knew a lot about the secrets of Soul Masters, and naturally had heard of the concept of a natal Soul Tool.

Xu Jinghong is now using not only the power of his martial soul, but also his soul tool.

"That's right, it's my natal soul tool. Let's see if you can withstand my Sun God Fire Shield."

Xu Jinghong, who was at the center of the Sun Martial Soul, revealed a ferocious look on his face. Without giving the two a chance to prepare, he controlled the Sun God Fire Shield, which was formed by the fusion of the Sun Martial Soul and the Soul Guidance Device, and crashed into them.

This Sun God Fire Shield was specially made for him, and he controls it to fuse with his Martial Soul, and it can resonate with the three Soul Guiding Cores to enhance its power.

If Moon had achieved his level 100 god status through his own efforts, he would have definitely turned and run. But the other party was just a pseudo-level 100 god who achieved his status through external forces, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

At least he didn't think his Sun God Fire Shield couldn't withstand the opponent's attack.
