Chapter 205 On the Eve of the New World's Opening "Why are you all..."
"Why are you completely ignorant about the weapons of the Eastern Kingdom?!" The Prime Minister of Country A was spraying venom at the high-ranking officials present.
"Sir, we can't get into Dongguo at all now, we..." The person in charge of intelligence looked really grim.
"Then turn them in! The government approves nearly 10 billion dollars a year for you to implement the Orange Plan, and this is how you do it?" The Prime Minister glared at the other party.
The intelligence chief's face immediately showed a hint of embarrassment. In the first half of this year, news suddenly broke out in Dongguo about bribing spies for only eight dollars, which made Aguo's Orange Project lose face all over the world.
As for the billions of dollars in gold that the Prime Minister mentioned, it has long since become several more mansions, luxury cars, and diamond jewelry for his wife and children.
"I don't care what methods you use! What I need is intelligence!" Seeing the expression on the intelligence chief's face, the Prime Minister lowered his voice considerably, after all, a portion of the money was still lying in his secret account.
It wasn't just Country A, known as the world's strongest nation, that was facing this threat; even the upper echelons of Country E, the former second-largest power, felt a chill run down their spines.
They had disputes and hatred with their neighbor in the East, but also a honeymoon period of walking hand in hand.
At one point, the Eastern Kingdom even relied on them and was used by them to entangle themselves in conflicts with the A Kingdom.
Although the East has gradually grown stronger over the years, to the E country's leadership, this neighbor has merely risen from a junior to a senior brother who can protect them.
But the release of such weapons and equipment today, especially the Dongfeng series, which covers the entire globe, is enough to make them look up to this power.
What if one day this neighbor starts to take stock of modern history?
After all, five thousand years of history can be told in one book, but a century of humiliation can be explained in detail in several books. How can such a vengeful national character not make them feel uneasy? But they can only pray that this neighbor, who is warlike at heart, can maintain her current veneer of kindness.
"Strengthen cooperation with the Eastern Kingdom as much as possible, including media publicity." The Emperor of Country E rubbed his temples and issued the orders one by one.
"With this opening of the border, visa-free travel between the two sides is possible, what do you think..." The Minister of Economic Affairs to his left frowned.
The emperor sighed: "When national power declines, we have no choice but to admit defeat. Let's cooperate; it would be a good thing for us too."
"And what about WM country?" the Foreign Minister asked. "Does it intend to continue intensifying its anti-Eastern education?"
"Hmph, them..." The Emperor sneered, "Tell them I don't need their loyalty, but they can't side with the Eastern Kingdom either. They're just a buffer zone..."
A spectacular military parade showcased the military strength of the East to the world, stopped all countries from criticizing the East, and even made countries that had always been friendly to the East wish they could become its iron brothers.
After having a meal with the elders and discussing time travel, Sang Zhitao returned to the base with her family.
"Wow~ the base looks different now~" Sang Zhitao looked at the base, which had been renovated and looked brand new, with a surprised expression.
"Thanks to everyone in Qingyuan Realm, they designed an array for us that can directly filter out people with bad character. Not only that, they also designed a concealed array for us, so it's impossible to find them from the outside!" Li Mingguo couldn't help but laugh out loud a few times.
Looking at the aesthetically pleasing array diagram on the base wall, Sang Zhitao raised an eyebrow: "Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't need so many guards?"
Li Mingguo nodded: "Not only that, we also caught a few more crooked-backed people."
Li Mingguo's expression turned grim when he said this: "I don't know what they were thinking. We're developing so well now, and they still dare to betray the country."
Sang Zhitao disagreed, saying, "Aren't all people like this? Even if they have all the power and wealth in their hands, they still want to live forever. And once they have immortality, they still want to pursue more power."
"Desire drives social development, which is why we are where we are today, but we must not let desire control us, otherwise we will only lead to a dead end."
Hearing her say that, Li Mingguo couldn't help but nod in agreement, saying, "Yes, just like what you told us before, the evil god really is corrupt. We have told all the countries, but it still flowed into the market."
Sang Zhitao paused, then abruptly turned to look at Li Mingguo: "Are you sure it's real?"
Li Mingguo's expression was somewhat grave: "Yes, we specifically sent some to the Upside-Down World and the Orc World, so we can confirm that this is the one."
Sang Zhitao frowned, her face looking rather grim: "Why would this thing invade Earth? It can't be her who's in danger, can it?"
Li Mingguo shook his head: "It's not certain yet. We've already set up checks at various border crossings, but our borders are just too big. What if they don't use the border crossings..."
Sang Zhitao lowered her head and thought carefully before asking, "How is Ruoyin doing?"
Li Mingguo didn't pay attention to her sudden change of topic. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Not bad. The first batch of people have already started training."
After listening, Sang Zhitao nodded thoughtfully, and after a while said, "In that case, please ask the teachers of Qingyuan Realm to help design the grand formation. Once their cultivation reaches a certain level, they can draw it on the border."
"Is this okay?" Li Mingguo asked hesitantly.
Sang Zhitao nodded: "Sure, this is similar to a sect formation, commonly used by various races and sects in the demon realm. It can detect any creature that enters the border. You can set it up to detect humanoid creatures."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "I think we can also combine this with the different protective methods used in various worlds, making it even safer with each layer linked to the next."
"Okay, I'll arrange it." After hearing this, Li Mingguo turned and headed towards his office. "You guys go have fun."
After watching him leave, Sang Zhitao looked at her brother and said, "I estimate my next world will be in about a month. Why don't you just get married during this time and not delay your sister-in-law?"
Sang Leping was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed and patted her head: "Okay, my little queen, I'll do whatever you say."
Sang Zhitao nodded, not minding her brother's teasing. After all, based on her experience, she was indeed a queen, and a queen of several worlds.
From the birth of the special element New 01 to the emergence of technologies such as healing devices, intelligent brains, and holographic worlds, the development of Dongguo has undergone earth-shattering changes.
Some individuals who used to be somewhat spineless when facing foreigners now proudly boast about Dongguo's technology to foreigners.
Not to mention that the country launched a 144-hour visa-free program two months ago, allowing more foreigners to visit, understand, and fall in love with the country.
"Why can only people from Dongguo buy the smart brains?" Every foreigner who comes to Dongguo for tourism drools over the smart brains.
"We can accept that the AI can't be sold, but why can't the hovercars be traded? I'm so envious of days without traffic jams..."
"I heard that Dongguo has launched a plan to relocate to the moon. Why? The moon belongs to the whole world!" This came from an island nation.
"Whoever lands first gets to decide what's best for you because you're weak." This is from an East African country that is a close ally of China.
"Why is Dongguo's immigration policy so difficult?!"
"You could try joining an island and then waiting for it to be reclaimed," one witty person couldn't help but tease.
"It's not impossible..."

...
Looking at the comments above, Sang Zhitao lay on the bed laughing like a duck.
"Alright, stop looking, get up and eat something," Sang Lezhi said, supporting her stomach as she saw her like this.
Sang Zhitao, clutching her aching stomach from laughing, quickly took the cake from her sister's hand.
She took a bite of the cake, and the familiar mango flavor filled her mouth, which suddenly reminded her of something else.
"Ah! What is this?!" Sang Lezhi was so frightened when her sister suddenly pulled out a dark, football-sized object from her sleeve that she couldn't help but scream.
"What's wrong?!" Zhang Su, who happened to be passing by, heard this and hurriedly came in to see.
She was startled when she saw what Sang Zhitao was holding, but she first helped Sang Lezhi to the side and calmed her down before carefully examining it and cautiously leaning over to ask, "What is this?"
Sang Zhitao looked at her sister with slightly red eyes. She hadn't expected to frighten her sister, so she quickly explained, "These are tentacles I cut off from the puppet. I didn't mean to scare you."
Sang Lezhi then realized what was happening and quickly hugged Sang Zhitao to comfort her, saying, "It's not your fault. I've become more timid since I got pregnant."
As she spoke, she touched the tentacles: "Tentacles? There's nothing to be afraid of. I've seen all sorts of strange insects in the fields."
Sang Zhitao wiped her eyes before explaining, "When I was fighting the tentacles that day, I discovered that they not only tasted good, but also replenished my energy, so I cut them all off and kept them."
"Will eating this be more effective than eating food from Earth?" Zhang Su asked curiously.
Sang Zhitao nodded: "If my physical strength and magical power are both 100, eating Earth's food can increase my physical strength by 10 and magical power by 1 each time, then eating this can increase my physical strength by 20 and magical power by 20."
"So useful?!" Zhang Su and Sang Lezhimi looked at each other and said in unison.
Then, the two of them asked in unison, "Can we try it?"
Sang Zhitao paused for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "But this isn't much; it might not be enough for long-term use..."
Hearing her say that, Zhang Su and Sang Lezhi were taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's good too, it'll be perfect for you to have some food."
"Hmm." Sang Zhitao then began to describe the strange flavors of the tentacles.
"Speaking of which, can we eat this?" Sang Lezhi was pregnant, and her pregnancy symptoms happened to include a craving for food.
So after hearing Sang Zhitao's descriptions, he couldn't help but swallow hard and ask.
Sang Zhitao opened her mouth, looked down at the tentacles, then at her sister who looked eager to try, and quickly looked at Zhang Su: "Sister-in-law, what do you say?"
Zhang Su's lips twitched, and she sighed softly, "Fine, give me one and I'll get tested."
"Please~" Sang Lezhi looked at her with her hands clasped together in anticipation.
Zhang Su nodded helplessly, picked up a tentacle block, and headed towards the biology lab.
"I heard from my brother that you're going to travel through time next month?" Sang Lezhi looked at Sang Zhitao after watching her leave.
"Mmm." Sang Zhitao nodded, then lowered her head and took a bite of the tentacle.
Seeing her eating with satisfaction, Sang Lezhi could only look away and suppress the drool in her mouth before asking again, "Is it that fortune-telling world from last time?"
“Yes, I discussed it with Team Leader Sheng An, and the possibility of something going wrong this time is not very high.” Sang Zhitao frowned as she spoke. “However, I still have a phoenix beast body, and I’m not sure if things will change after I travel there.”
"We'll see when the time comes. Having a phoenix beast body will certainly increase our survivability." Sang Lezhi gently held her hand.
