Showdown, my deck is from the East.

Chapter 1232 Black Hole Negative Pressure Water Conservancy Project
As the representatives of all races argued heatedly over the airdropped survival outposts, they were completely unaware that the trembling alloy floor beneath their feet was the back armor of the behemoth Baxia, nor did they realize that the planetary fortress that housed the meeting was itself part of the military aid treaty.

The moment the dome armor layer burst open, revealing the dazzling starry sky and tortoise-shell mountain range outside, the noisy venue fell into dead silence.

"This...?! A living planetary behemoth!"

The orc general was breathing heavily, his battle axe nearly crushed in his hand.

The mechanical group's pupil sensor suddenly shrank to the tip of a needle.

The quantum computer race instantly calculated the terrifying increase:
If this is a product for sale, then it means that the military aid brought by Yanyun this time fully encompasses the three aspects of defense, survival, and supply.

This round alone is expected to provide an additional eight fortress armored divisions, a planetary carrier group, more than fifty field medical stations, and at least two rounds of supplies!

Such a large-scale reinforcement was rare even in its heyday, let alone a trans-dimensional support that spanned half the map!
Upon seeing Baxia, the representatives of all races fell silent. The price they had just been discussing became meaningless, and their hearts calmed down.

As is widely known, military aid of this scale is tantamount to a contract of servitude, applicable everywhere.

They'll definitely need to bring out things like "joint mineral development agreements," "planet sharing agreements," and "servant army treaties."

The delegates held their breath, awaiting the expected "contract of servitude".

The agreement, as it was projected, outlined the terms for the use of the war fortress.

Sure enough, in addition to the normal trade terms and wartime aid terms, the planetary fortress had additional agreements.

Representatives from all ethnic groups took a deep breath and looked intently.

1. This weapon can be freely used in the war against the demon race, but will be automatically locked when used in other wars.

2. After obtaining Baxia Fortress, you need to regularly upload the "Demon Clan Battle Data Package" (including battlefield images/biological samples/energy readings, etc.) to "Jixia Academy - Myriad Races Battle Skills Library".

3. Original biological organs/mechanical components are unaffected by usage, but any compatibility modifications and changes to supporting components require contacting the provider.

4. If the mother race is confirmed to have been defeated and the right to survival of civilization is threatened, all the above treaties shall be null and void. Please do everything possible to ensure the survival of civilization.

5. After the war against the demons ends, Treaty 1 and 2 will automatically become invalid.

Considering the speed of the demon race's infiltration, the first round of aid, offensive weapons, and rule-based weapons were only given to the completely trustworthy Zhao Zhi. However, defensive weapons like the behemoth-class planetary fortress would be quite terrifying if used in civil war or to betray the alliance.

If left unchecked, it could affect Lu Cheng and Zhao Zhi's entire strategy in the wilderness.

But restrictions are just restrictions, nothing more.

This clause is unbelievably lenient!
"What about the additional terms and conditions?"

"What about the enslaved chips?!"

None at all!
Unbelievable, right?
Actually, this was Lu Cheng returning the favor.

Emerging from the continental era, the enemies were incredibly powerful, but the partners they encountered were all generous with their treaties, whether it was the Zerg swarm, the Menel family, or the Purifier Alliance.

I still remember back then, when we borrowed a planet during the Northern Expedition, we even got a free executive officer's sister.

Flashback to fragments of the tattered covenant: the Queen Bee's tentacles signing the beehive as collateral, the Menier Elder's blood-sealed exemption clause, the fur-stained stamp of the Grizzly Orc, and the spare maintenance key secretly slipped into the contract by the Purifier Executor sisters.
Back then, we were all in the same boat, constantly being chased by the demons. Now, almost all of Lu Cheng's friends who signed contracts with him have perished.

The demons of Zhongzhou slaughtered all the leaders of the resistance army.

Not a single one is left.

The myriad races of today are the seeds they left behind.

Then the torrential rain is coming again, along with the dark forest grinning from the clouds.

This time, Lu Cheng was different from everyone else; he actually had a broken umbrella in his hand!

Humanity is supreme, and the ideal of everyone being like a dragon is its guiding principle. Besides protecting oneself from the wind and rain, would it allow these sparks to be extinguished?
After seeing the treaty, regardless of their motives, no one doubted that the big brother behind the scenes was determined to protect the new coalition.

Then it's time to pledge allegiance. If even the sixteen behemoth-class planetary fortresses don't want these terms, then there's no need for the alliance to exist. After all, this cruel universe can't support fools!
Desktop - Yan Yun.

"This round's [Stargate] trade revenue is 0, due to the incurred freight costs of -10."

Lu Cheng smiled slightly.

The trade revenue is 0, and the explanation is given. If you say you won't make a single penny, you won't make a single penny. They'll even cover your shipping costs, production capacity cards, and exempt you from research fees, etc. All you have to do is take it and use it to fight the demons.

This round begins:
(Detailed data is below)
The most significant numerical factor affecting card production is the remaining 5 points of "Life Force," but there should be enough "Wood" for this turn.

Although the Queen Mother of the West's nursery is only maintained by -4 people, it is undeniably a remarkable wonder.

Let's deal with the events that started at the beginning of this round.

Spectacular Events - The River of Time:

In the long river of time, your civilization has flourished. Due to increased habitability, you will gain +2 to your population next turn. Behemoth farming has reached a considerable scale, reducing water by -4, air by -6, and increasing wood by +8 each turn.

The development of the private shipbuilding industry has led to an increase in the capacity of the two star system cards: Gold -1, Earth -1, and Earth +2.

The card's special effect is triggered, causing the water level to rise and fall. You unexpectedly salvage an ancient legion, the [(Ancient) Northern Town Fortress Guards] (one of the ancient northern war fortress guards, destroyed by a supernova explosion; their destruction was unobservable and unknown, their regrets endure forever). This card cannot be replenished. They will fight the Yan Yun demons across time and space on their own, disappearing with the next receding tide.

It truly is a wonder. It was difficult to build, but the effect is superb.

Lu Cheng lightly touched the tattered guardian card bearing the marks of time, "Heroes return home, I temporarily borrow your sharpness!"

On the table, the [(Ancient) North Town Gate Guard] and the [Exus Tribe Light Marauders] are immediately in a duel. The threat of raiding from both Star Domain Cards has been temporarily relieved, and there is no need to send troops or spend money!

Look at the others.

The income from wood is now as high as 24 per round, and other income is also increasing.

However, due to the construction of the canal and the raising of animals, the income from water resources has become negative.

This round we must create a water feature wonder, and then find a way to reopen the canal.

Once all the waterways are open, basic resource income will at least double, and the population will surge.

“A marvel of water systems.” Lu Cheng examined his hand: “It’s about time.”

This wonder was designed long ago; it is not only a blessed land of water, but also an essential prerequisite for producing a certain card!

If it's ever made, the background of that card will be pretty much the same!
Let's see what it wants.

【☆Black Hole Negative Pressure Super Hydraulic Project - Guanjiang Estuary】(Construction Requirements: Golden Immortal, one Star Domain Card containing extremely miniature wormhole terrain, Earth-5, Metal-5, Kun Earth-1, Life-1 (temporary use), Immortal Peach-1, Dao Fruit-1, Qian Heaven-5)

"Given it, let's get started!"

Card Incident - "Beyond Human Capabilities":
Water conservancy projects benefit future generations; our predecessors plant trees so that future generations can enjoy their shade.

For the sake of water conservancy for all ages, the Heavenly Crafts Bureau has decided to build an unparalleled water conservancy project during the Golden Immortal Era – the Guanjiang Estuary.

The Yan Yun Starfield is vast and contains eight extremely small wormholes. The Tiangong Division wants to utilize this powerful capture capability.

Wormholes connect black holes and white holes; black holes suck in, and white holes spray out.

As the most unruly celestial bodies in the universe, their minimum mass is more than three times that of a star, and their gravity is tens of millions of times stronger than that of a star.

For a stellar-scale civilization to attempt to tame a black hole would be tantamount to digging its own grave.

Even using a tiny fraction of the power of a micro black hole is extremely dangerous!
The design uses a starship to capture 66 stars to form a gravitational slingshot array, which can counteract the gravity from the black hole end over a very long distance. The gravitational slingshot effect can also be used to move the wormhole's adsorption end.

By using the Heavenly Laws - Heavenly Rules to modify the rules, a rule filter is formed, which allows hydrogen, oxygen, and spiritual particles to be attracted and combined into a large amount of spiritual water that is ejected from the white hole under the compression of the rules.

According to calculations by the supercomputing platform, all construction workers will likely face a life-threatening situation when dealing with the black hole.

Including Lu Cheng himself using a peach and a Dao fruit of standard stellar mass to gain an extra life and an extra breath!
