Rejecting Tsinghua and Peking Universities: I Will Lead Harbin Institute of Technology to World Lead

After the successful terraforming of Mars, various weapons from Earth have begun to be transported to Mars one after another.

A massive transport fleet tirelessly traverses the Martian landscape day and night. The Xuanyuan-class space carrier, fully loaded with photon weapon modules, lands at a defense base on the Martian equator. Engineering robots work around the clock to bury the Home Guardian array deep into the Martian crust. In orbit, dozens of weapon platforms are being assembled and tested; each one is capable of reducing a city to ashes.

That once barren red planet has now become a planet piled high with weapons.

From outer space, the surface of Mars appears to be dotted with countless metallic reflective spots. These are arrays of gun emplacements, radars, and energy generators. They wait silently, awaiting the approaching enemy.

At the same time, Lin Feng was not idle either.

Only one year remains. In one year, that strange planet will reach the edge of the solar system. In one year, war will break out.

He needs to complete all five studies within a year.

Photon weapons, Home Guardians, a new version of the Azure Dragon Elixir, White Tiger Armor, and a new generation of light-speed warships—all five research projects must be implemented and fully operational. Only in this way can humanity on Earth have greater confidence to face the impending enemy.

Lin Feng's schedule was packed to the brim.

In the early morning, the team inspected the last batch of mass-produced modules at the photon weapon test site. At noon, they rushed to the Homeland Guardian Synthetic Base to resolve material stability issues. In the afternoon, they flew to the Azure Dragon Pharmaceutical Clinical Center to review the final report. In the evening, they also had to follow up on the White Tiger Armor's space combat drills through a holographic conference.

Every research project had reached its final sprint. He needed to personally oversee every step.

Time passes at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and the seasons change.

Before we knew it, a year had passed in the blink of an eye.

As the last batch of new-generation light-speed warships completed their outfitting in the dock and slowly sailed toward the test track, Lin Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the command center and let out a long breath.

All five studies have been completed.

The photon weapon array has completed mass production at seventeen production bases worldwide, with the first batch of three hundred sets already deployed on the Martian defense line. The synthesis process for the Home Guardian has reached maturity, reducing the material defect rate to below one in a thousand, sufficient to cover the defense needs of the entire Earth and Mars. The new version of the Azure Dragon Elixir has been administered to the entire population, resulting in a qualitative leap in everyone's physical condition and lifespan. The White Tiger Armor has completed its final batch of space combat tests, with one hundred thousand sets already deployed to the most elite space combat units. Twelve new-generation light-speed warships have entered service, each capable of single-handedly confronting an entire fleet.

Humanity has never been so powerful.

And at this very moment—

【Ding! 】

That familiar notification sound once again rang gently in the deepest part of Lin Feng's consciousness.

Lin Feng closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into the system space.

In the pure white world, there was not just one sphere of light, but six in total—they floated in the void like six dazzling stars, each containing the power to change the course of the battle.

[The host-led photon weapon has been successfully manufactured and is operating stably in the real world.]

[Project rewards are now being distributed...]

The first orb of light exploded.

[Reward: Photon Shockwave Weapon]

[Description: This device can compress photon weapons into massive shockwaves, releasing enormous energy within their range (equivalent to 100,000 nuclear explosions). The shockwave's range can be adjusted arbitrarily, from a minimum of ten kilometers to a maximum capable of covering an entire planet and easily destroying it.]

Lin Feng's consciousness instantly received a massive amount of information.

Photon shockwaves—not point-to-point attacks, but ultimate weapons of area destruction. They can compress and instantly release the energy of photon weapons, creating energy shockwaves with an extremely wide coverage area. At least ten kilometers, enough to destroy a fleet. At its largest, they can cover an entire planet, wiping a star from the universe.

Its destructive power is equivalent to 100,000 nuclear weapons exploding simultaneously.

This is the true power to destroy stars.

[The Home Guardian, developed under the host's leadership, has been successfully manufactured and is operating stably in the real world.]

[Project rewards are now being distributed...]

The second ball of light exploded.

[Reward: Core Theory for Planetary Home Guardian Modification]

[Description: Can cover the entire planet with a layer of Homeguard, enabling the planet to withstand enemy attacks, and possesses gradient and self-healing capabilities.]

Another torrent of information is sweeping in.

The planetary version of Homeguard—it's no longer just a defense covering a base or a warship, but the ultimate shield covering the entire planet. It can envelop the entire Earth and Mars in an invisible energy field. Any attack will be neutralized by its gradient, and any damage will automatically repair itself within three seconds.

The spear has been upgraded, and so has the shield.

[The new version of the Azure Dragon Potion, the White Tiger Armor, and the next-generation light-speed warship, all developed under the host's leadership, have been successfully manufactured and are operating stably in the real world.]

[Project rewards are now being distributed...]

This time, all three orbs of light exploded simultaneously.

[Reward: Golden Dragon Potion]

[Description: Can enhance human attributes by thirty times, with vitality, intelligence, and various abilities increasing by more than thirty times.]

Lin Feng saw a new blueprint for the drug. If the Azure Dragon Drug allowed humanity to surpass its limits, then the Golden Dragon Drug would completely shatter those limits. A thirty-fold increase in all aspects—speed, strength, reaction time, intelligence, lifespan… Humans injected with the Golden Dragon Drug would truly approach the concept of "superhuman."

[Reward: Xingtian Armor]

[Description: It can absorb microscopic elements from the universe to continuously replenish its armor, allowing it to fight indefinitely in space. It can also regenerate by absorbing these elements, and as long as the armor isn't completely destroyed, it can be permanently restored. It is not equipped with a weapon system.]

A brand-new armor blueprint unfolds. The Xingtian Armor—named after the ancient Chinese war god—possesses near-eternal combat capabilities. It can absorb the ubiquitous micro-elements of the universe, converting them into energy and materials to continuously replenish itself. As long as it isn't completely destroyed in a single blow, it can self-repair during combat.

It is not equipped with a weapon system because it is a weapon in itself.

[Reward: Golden Crow Battleship]

[Description: It can absorb microscopic elements from the universe to continuously replenish the warship, allowing it to move endlessly in space. It can also automatically repair itself by absorbing these elements. The warship can reach speeds of up to fifty times the speed of light. As long as it is not completely destroyed, it can regenerate indefinitely. It is not equipped with weapon systems.]

The last reward caused Lin Feng's pupils to contract slightly.

The Golden Crow Battleship—named after the ancient Chinese sun bird—possesses a terrifying speed of fifty times the speed of light and a self-repairing ability similar to the Xingtian Armor. As long as there are enough cosmic elements, it can sail and fight forever.

It was also not equipped with weapon systems.

Because when a warship possesses fifty times the speed of light and can self-repair indefinitely, it is itself the most terrifying weapon.

All six orbs of light exploded, and all six rewards were received.

Lin Feng's consciousness stood silently amidst the torrent of information until the last byte was completely absorbed.

When he opened his eyes again, it was dusk outside the window. The setting sun had dyed the sky golden red, and the factories and laboratories in the distance were still roaring.
