Once, I wanted to be a good person

He said, "I’ve reviewed the internal documents of the Eastern Administrative Region. The military base carriers of the seven states, except for the latest R-type military base in the Directly Governed State, which is a complete technological product, are all Disaster Creatures of Absolute Pinnacle level, yet their strength varies greatly."

"Such uneven strength makes it difficult to form synergy and also makes it easy for Demigods to defeat them one by one."

Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Elder Meng, who was white-haired, glanced at Elder Wei dressed in military uniform, then said with a chuckle, "You’re right, this indeed is a drawback of the military bases."

"Let me first answer your first question: the size of the military bases."

"Actually, when we were designing the military bases, we already found this problem. So, in order to resolve this drawback, in recent years, we’ve been developing transformable metals."

"These metals can freely change form and reduce in size. Once applied, I believe the miniaturization of military bases will no longer be a dream."

Speaking of this, Elder Meng pointed to the skyscrapers outside that were transforming and said, "These are our experiments. As of now, this technology is becoming more and more mature. I believe in some time it can be experimentally applied to military bases."

Upon hearing this, Fang Ze nodded in realization.

Seeing Fang Ze understood, Elder Meng continued, "As for your second question, the issue of varying strength levels of military bases."

"In fact, the answer is quite simple. It’s not that the plan is immature, but rather that our Human Race’s technology is constantly progressing; new technologies have been developed, while old technologies have yet to retire."

"Building a military base consumes an enormous amount of human and material resources and cannot be wasted arbitrarily. That’s why we have several generations of military bases in active service simultaneously."

"Several generations of military bases?" Fang Ze found this phrase intriguing and asked, "Have the Federation’s military bases gone through many updates already?"

Hearing Fang Ze’s words, Elder Meng asked, "I recall you should have already advanced to the Absolute Pinnacle?"

Fang Ze slightly nodded.

Elder Meng praised, "Truly accomplished at a young age."

Then he said, "Now that you’ve become Absolute Pinnacle, you should know that Absolute Pinnacle practitioners are stronger than Ascension-tier and other levels of Awakeners mainly because their bodies can fuse the Power of Laws and the Power of Faith."

"And this method of fusion is similar to that of Demigods but different still."

"Therefore, after the Federation was established, the first thing was to gather all of humanity’s top experts, scholars, Absolute Pinnacle practitioners, and trustworthy Demigods to research exactly how these two types of fusion occur and whether they can be replicated."

"Our initial thought was very good. If we could truly replicate these two methods, then we would never lack Absolute Pinnacle and Demigod-level experts."

"Although this still can’t directly confront Venerables, holding Spirit Realm Mountain is still possible. And as long as we can hold Spirit Realm Mountain and buy more time for humanity, then maybe our descendants can research higher technologies to contend with Venerables."

"With this idea in mind, we spent over twenty years researching and finally understood the method of fusion between the Power of Faith and the Power of Laws at the Absolute Pinnacle stage."

"However, after finding this fusion method, we also discovered a drawback to this fusion method."

"A drawback?" Hearing this, Fang Ze couldn’t help but ask, "What drawback?"

Elder Meng replied, "It’s inefficiency!"

He gave Fang Ze several examples, "If the operational efficiency of Divine Power is 20, meaning that when 1 part Power of Laws and 1 part Power of Faith merge, the efficiency increases tenfold."

"Then the energy operational efficiency of Absolute Pinnacle experts is approximately 14. This means that when 1 part Power of Laws and 1 part Power of Faith merge, they can only exert 14 parts of energy, which is a sevenfold increase."

"As for the newly researched fusion method, it’s only a meager 10, meaning it only amplifies fivefold."

"Calculated this way, the energy operational efficiency of our new research is only 50% of Demigods and about 70% of Absolute Pinnacle experts."

"So, with such low operational efficiency, we can only increase the power of the military base by controlling larger Disaster Creatures that can store and use more Power of Laws."

Speaking of this, he summed up, "It’s like using quantity to compensate for quality."

"This is also the reason why the earliest batch of military bases generally had weaker strength. Although they were Absolute Pinnacle level Disaster Creatures, they could only exert power at the peak Mortality-Shedding Demigod level."

Hearing Deputy Chairperson Jing’s words, Fang Ze nodded in realization and then inferred, "So, the reason the strength of military bases increased later is because the method of external fusion of energy was optimized? This led to the fact that even though the Disaster Creature level and soldier numbers didn’t change, their strength improved to Ascension Demigod level?"

Elder Meng nodded with a smile and then said, "Yes, that’s exactly the case."

Speaking of this, he changed the topic, "However, you should have also seen our latest R-type military base, right?"

Seeing Fang Ze nod, Elder Meng said, "In the past two years, we’ve tackled another scientific research obstacle. We can already synthesize the Power of Laws and the Power of Faith directly using technological means, without using Disaster Creatures as a medium." Official source is NoveIＦire.net
