Chapter 917 - 475: The War Begins
Nan Jing Continent.
Atina Kingdom.
Early in the morning, Guo Nan Nan briskly walked into the office.
Earlier, he unexpectedly comprehended the Longevity Star Formation and was appointed as the Deputy Director of the "Great Xia Development Affairs Bureau for Nan Jing Continent."
Suddenly rising to a high position from being an ordinary citizen, he actually wasn’t too accustomed to it and didn’t pay much attention to his duties.
The day before yesterday, he took a trip to the Sobbing Green Sea, where he personally witnessed many things beyond imagination, and his mind suddenly opened up.
Guo Nan Nan suddenly deeply understood a saying: "The fate of an individual is inseparable from the fate of the nation and the country."
To give an example.
If he didn’t have a strong Great Xia behind him, would he be able to quickly realize a superpower and gain deeper comprehension of the Longevity Star Formation in a short time?
Obviously not!
If he were a pure Atina, even if he possessed the Power of the Stars, he might one day die in a gang conflict.
After all, the Longevity Star Formation is not true immortality; if someone shot him in the head, he would die just the same.
Guo Nan Nan sat down heavily, first attending to today’s major news—Eastern Bering Region declared independence from the Bering Kingdom, announcing the establishment of the Aberria Alliance.
Although the world’s attention was focused on the Great Flood, this major event still made a sensation on Canglan Star.
When he got up in the morning, he heard the news from one of the sisters, Ava, which really shocked him.
The Bering Kingdom actually split!
"Beep!"
With a light sound.
The computer screen lit up, instantly entering the login interface.
The reason for such speed must be credited to a revolutionary black technology launched by Great Xia three months ago—the Optical Crystal Chip.
About a year ago, Great Xia had already fully surpassed Carmenia in the field of silicon-based chips, whether in lithography machines or chip design.
The new generation of Optical Crystal Chips further formed a giant advantage of generational difference.
As for the specific parameters of the new chip, Guo Nan Nan did not understand much, he only remembered one thing—the performance was at least thirty times better.
This is practically a crushing victory!
However, for Great Xia, the Great Xia People were long accustomed to it, plus Great Xia’s black technology kept emerging, so the Optical Crystal Chips surprisingly didn’t get much attention.
"Please verify your identity!"
A pleasant female voice sounded.
Guo Nan Nan immediately sat up straight and looked at a small device above the screen.
A beam of light emerged from the device, quickly scanning across his face.
He knew this was a new facial verification technology called—Optical Pattern Facial Recognition.
The accuracy of this technology reached the pore level, capable of recognizing pupils, eyebrow shapes, and even facial bones.
The purpose of this was precisely to counter superpowers.
Traditional facial recognition is no different from decoration in the face of disguise-type superpowers.
But Optical Pattern Recognition is different; it instantly sees through the disguise of superpowers.
The female voice sounded again: "Verification passed! Welcome back, Mr. Guo!"
Guo Nan Nan entered the system and immediately opened the "Today’s Information Brief."
Since the independence of Eastern Bering was a historical event, the brief set up a dedicated section.
He glanced over and immediately saw several quite shocking headlines.
"Bering Kingdom Issues Heping Bullet Threat, Declares Intention to Flatten Every City in Eastern Bering"
"Aberria Alliance Leader Little Ivan Vows Never to Bow Down to Evil"
"Bering Kingdom Begins Nationwide Mobilization, Plans to Assemble 3 Million Troops to Attack Aberria Alliance"
"Saint Andrew’s Palace Negotiates with Great Xia, Our Country Urges Bering to Abandon Heping Bullet Strikes"
Guo Nan Nan quickly read a few articles to roughly understand the context.
Especially the "Declaration to Eastern Bering" by Little Ivan, which detailed Eastern Bering’s reasons for deciding to become independent.
"...Since the Age of Calamity began, we have been repeatedly neglected, deceived, and mocked by the Kingdom.
"When various disasters struck one after another, due to the severe aging of the infrastructure in the Eastern Bering Region, problems started to occur frequently, and the power supply became very unstable.
"We requested the Kingdom allocate funds to vigorously repair the infrastructure in the Eastern Bering Region, and Saint Andrew’s Palace agreed, promising that the repair work would begin soon.
"But until now, we have seen nothing.
"When the Poisonous Mosquito crisis broke out, swarms of poisonous mosquitoes ravaged the Eastern Bering Region, mixed with many mutated poisonous mosquitoes. Hundreds or even thousands of people died from mosquito bites each day.
"We requested support from the Kingdom, asking for necessary materials to combat the mosquitoes, such as mosquito-proof clothing, mosquito-killing equipment, etc.
"We do not expect, like Eastern Great Xia, to produce 1.8 billion sets of mosquito-proof clothing within half a month to ensure every citizen has one set.
"We only hope that every household in Eastern Bering could get a set of mosquito-proof clothing, and Saint Andrew’s Palace agreed to this request.
"But until now, the Poisonous Mosquito crisis has passed, and we still have not received the mosquito-proof clothing promised by the Kingdom..."
Reading this, Guo Nan Nan couldn’t help but admire Little Ivan’s ability.
At such a time, he didn’t forget to praise Great Xia, while also heavily stepping on the Bering Kingdom.
"...Later, when the cold wave disaster struck, the global temperature plummeted to freezing levels, with the average temperature in the Eastern Bering Region dropping below negative sixty degrees.
"Due to the lack of electricity and insufficient indoor farms, food became extremely scarce, leading to a severe famine.
"I personally saw countless people starve to death, saw children starve to death in front of my own eyes, and parents exchanging their starved children with other families.
