Chapter 1229: Cloud Peak defense system

When Ye Zhongming finally returned to Cloud Peak, he felt a little foreign.

Things weren’t completed with Saint Light Hall after the agreement was reached. There were still many details to discuss and things to communicate.

Although others did most things, Ye Zhongming had to make decisions and decide on crucial details. Thus, he spent some more time in the Secret Realm.

War not only brought injuries and pain but also benefits.

Cloud Peak spent so much effort, fighting a level nine person and paying huge prices, so it was time for the rewards.

These rewards weren’t too obvious quickly, but some areas could be seen instantly.

For example, Cloud Peak’s changes.

Posthumous People’s ordinary people were waiting in Cloud Peak for the results. Although they were nervous, they still helped Cloud Peak.

To them, they felt that it could make Cloud Peak help them more.

The most obvious thing would be their modification of the Cloud Peak walls.
Although many didn’t participate in constructing the Imperial City’s wall, they had a deep understanding of its structure. They also participated in maintaining and repairing the walls and had experience in such work.

After understanding some materials from Earth, they merged this with the evolved’s special abilities and items from the wheel to create a set of blueprints.

Ye Zhongming talked about it when he was far away in Bright Water World. Xia Lei, Mo Ye, and the others supported them, and these Posthumous People got to work.

When Ye Zhongming returned, he saw numerous deep foundations with Cloud Peak at the core and stretching down the mountain.

When he returned, the foundations were gone, and what replaced them were various defensive structures.

These were dazzling.

Ye Zhongming saw many fortresses rising. Between them were many castles that formed a ten-kilometer-long defensive system.

On the path between these defensive fortresses were crystal cannons, giant crossbows, trebuchets, etc. The weapons might be less mobile because they were being used as foundations, but they formed a perfect firepower net. As long as the foundations weren’t destroyed and the weapons had enough ammo, nothing could pass through and reach Cloud Peak.

After two years of talent collection, weapon collecting, and the evolved’s great bodies, the projects proceeded swiftly. Relevant job users and materials also ensured the quality of this project.

Since the front path was like that, the back mountain was of the same quality. When Le Dayuan and his growing team were resting, they would invent various traps. These things looked unassuming, but these freaks created problematic things.

As long as you entered that dense forest that looked harmless, you were entering a nightmare.

Each step might land you in various weird traps.

Some traps were lethal, some were just to cause problems. Poison and anesthesia were small things. There were poison needles that could numb you for over a week; there were combinations of Stunning talisman with shit; there were also cages with a beast that was fed with aphrodisiacs…

These things were on the sides of the mountain. Anyone that knew about them would rather charge head-on than enter from this side.

Ye Zhongming didn’t believe in its effectiveness and tried to get through. Although he spent half a day getting past, he rushed back to his room to bathe and got Park Xiuying to heal him. In the future, he wouldn’t head over again. ṚÄ𐌽ọ𝖇ƐS

“What is this?”

Ye Zhongming was very confident in this defensive structure that Earth and Posthumous People worked together to create. What surprised him was that the designers came to find him again.

As for what they wanted to do… Two things. The first was for him to agree to the second part of the project. Second was to ask for manpower and resources.

“This is to improve the first part of the project. This is referring to the air defense.” A Posthumous People elder and an architecture professor from Cloud Peak were the joint in charge. Although this Posthumous People elder couldn’t understand the blueprints, he had his own ways to memorise what each thing represented after someone explained.

“Air defense?”

Ye Zhongming’s eyes opened wide.

Cloud Peak’s air defense was nonexistent. As everyone’s level increased and job skills upgraded, they built some defensive structures that slightly stopped this problem.

But he understood these wouldnʼt be useful if they faced a strong air attack.

Ye Zhongming wanted to nurture an air force. The conditions he raised to Saint Light Hall included related techniques regarding the Spirit Eagle’s nurturing, development, and training.

But if you want it to reach scale, it would take a long time. Even if you had potions to stimulate growth, building the air force would take a year to two years. Even then, there won’t be too many, and there would be around a thousand.

When he heard them talking about air defense, he became serious.

“Yes. Master Le picked up this topic and is modifying crystal weapons to make them suitable for air fights. He said that this wasn’t hard and he had a rough sketch. I asked, and he said he would get the theory down and follow these basics to build some structures suitable for these weapons.”

The person in charge explained to Ye Zhongming. Seeing Ye Zhongming nod and agree, he said, “But we lack resources. Xia Lei and Guang Yao are managing manpower, and they said they have to head to the Secret Realm base. So, even if we start building, it wouldn’t be quick. It is about to reach winter; if we delay, we must wait until next year. Many things might happen over winter.”

“So what do you think?” Ye Zhongming asked.

“I think we should do all three projects together!” That person in charge said something shocking, “But we need you to agree.”

After opening some things, he took out a laptop and passed it to the confused Ye Zhongming.
