The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

At this point, Chen Yuanshan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his excitement, and tried his best to report in a professional tone: "Leaders, do you still remember the Great Barrier of the Divine Capital of the Sakura Kingdom?"

"Of course I remember."

Li Weiguo snorted coldly: "Those bastards picked up a bargain from a high-dimensional secret realm back then and created a mythical-level barrier device. They boasted to the world every day that it was the number one absolute defense on Earth, capable of withstanding even attacks from demigods."

"Yes! It's that turtle shell!"

Chen Yuanshan slapped his thigh, his face full of disdain and arrogance: "Until today, I admitted that thing was indeed powerful."

"But today, with this remnant of the blazing sun, that shabby barrier of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom isn't even worthy of carrying our shoes!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran to the control panel, where he brought up a densely packed data projection.

"Look at this energy level!"

He pointed to the long string of almost uncountable zeros on the screen: "Just now, we conducted a preliminary energy density test on the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart."

"The results show that its energy level and the energy density of its barrier are simply unprecedented! Its basic energy intensity is... ten thousand times that of the Kyoto Great Barrier!"

"How many?!"

Zhang Zhen cried out in shock, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo were also shocked, their minds went blank, as if they had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.

Ten thousand times!

What does this mean?

The Great Barrier of the Divine Capital of the Sakura Kingdom has been tested in actual combat and can indeed withstand the full-force bombardment of a demigod without breaking.

That's already the recognized ceiling of defense on Earth.

Now, Chen Yuanshan tells them that the energy intensity of the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart is ten thousand times that of the ceiling!

How exaggerated must its defensive capabilities be?

Block the demigod?

No, this is an insult to the term "Genesis-level".

This level of energy density is so high that even if that high-dimensional pseudo-god projection from the heavens were to descend again...

If you bump your head into it, you'll probably get a bloody head wound!

The three people present were so shocked that they were speechless.

With this, Sheikha's defenses will become an impenetrable fortress.

However, Li Yuanshan had not finished speaking.

"Three leaders, do you think its strongest feature is its strong defense?"

Chen Yuanshan shook his finger and smiled mysteriously: "Wrong. High energy intensity is certainly terrifying, but for national strategy, the most crucial factors are always feasibility and cost-effectiveness."

"What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Chen Yuanshan walked to the isolation chamber, looking at the blazing sun's remnant heart with awe in his eyes: "Generally speaking, the more powerful the tool, the more terrifying the energy required to activate and maintain it."

"The Great Barrier of the Divine Capital of the Sakura Kingdom requires 10% of their national treasury's top-tier resources to be consumed every year, and it also requires three Sakura-level demigods to take turns injecting their primal power in order to barely maintain its operation."

"At first, we were also worried that this colossal behemoth might be a money-devouring beast."

"Even if its defenses are invincible, if it needs to drain all of our Sheikha's resources, it would require Commander Gu or the Night Watch veterans to be here every day to recharge it!"

,

"Then its practical value will be greatly reduced."

Zhang Daoxuan and Li Weiguo nodded in deep agreement.

Indeed, if the cost is too high, this thing can only be used as a strategic weapon.

It should not be used unless there is a crisis that threatens the survival of the nation.

"but!"

Chen Yuanshan suddenly raised his voice, his hands trembling with excitement: "This thing is incredibly easy to use!"

"It's outrageously simple!"

"It's not picky at all! It doesn't need demigod origins, mythical-level materials, or even any complex energy conversion arrays!"

"It's compatible with any energy output device!"

Chen Yuanshan suddenly pressed a button, and a tray rose up from below the isolation chamber, on which were placed several stones that emitted a faint glow.

"Look closely, what is this?"

Zhang Zhen leaned closer for a look and blurted out, "Isn't this a high-grade psionic crystal?"

"That's right! It's this kind of ordinary, inexpensive energy material!"

"Within the heart of the blazing sun lies a creation-level rule that we cannot comprehend."

"It is a perfect energy amplifier in itself."

"As long as you connect it to an output device, even if you just put a low-grade psionic crystal in it, it can amplify this weak energy into thousands of times the power of the Sun's essence through its own rules! That's how it can exert such a great effect!"

"In other words, to activate this massive barrier—enough to cover the entire Divine Sherlock Holmes territory and possessing defensive capabilities ten thousand times greater than those of the Sakura Kingdom—we don't need to sacrifice the power of any of our strongest individuals, nor do we need to empty the national treasury!"

"All we need to do is assign a few support personnel to shovel a few shovels of cheap psionic crystals into its power supply tank every day, and it will run indefinitely!"

"And it possesses an extremely long duration; the energy of a single crystal is enough to maintain the absolute defense of a medium-sized city for an entire year!"

Quiet!

An eerie silence fell over the laboratory once again.

Only the ticking of various instruments could be heard softly.

Zhang Daoxuan, Li Weiguo, and Zhang Zhen, the three highest-ranking officials of the Shenxia military, stood frozen in place like three statues.

Now, the shock in everyone's hearts was even greater!

If the ten-thousand-fold increase in defensive power just now only shocked them...

Now, Chen Yuanshan's "low-cost, high-return" driving mechanism has completely overturned their understanding.

This pushed the shock in their hearts to an indescribable level.

A common psionic crystal can be exchanged for a city's absolute defense for a year.

What kind of barrier device is this?

This is clearly a super cheat that has disrupted the balance of the planes!

With this characteristic, Shenxia can use the Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart as its core hub to establish an impenetrable defense network across the entire country.

Foreigners on the border? Keep them out!

The aftershocks of a higher-dimensional realm? Keep them outside!

Those hostile forces with ulterior motives?

Keep them all out!

From this day forward, the homeland of Sheikha will become the safest and most impregnable fortress in the entire plane, and even the entire star field.

The soldiers of Sheikha no longer have to be restrained by protecting the rear.

They can draw their swords without hesitation to conquer the stars and expand their territories.
