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

A day passes in the blink of an eye.

When the bells rang for the second phase, all civilizations ushered in new changes.

The human settlement shimmered with light.

One batch of new people after another appeared out of nowhere.

Those were the subsequent participants selected from the observation area.

Fifty thousand elite soldiers were added to the ranks.

Experts from various fields have increased again.

Agriculture, animal husbandry, metallurgy, construction, medical care...

Every area has been strengthened.

In just a few hours, the total human population reached 500,000.

A total of 500,000 people crowded the entire garrison.

Lin Feng stood on the makeshift platform, looking down at the massive procession.

A resolute light shone in his eyes.

"Everyone, listen to my command!"

His voice echoed throughout the entire garrison.

Five hundred thousand people fell silent instantly.

"In the first phase, we survived."

"But the war is not over yet."

"The second phase is even more brutal."

"We must become stronger."

"Only then can we survive."

"Only then can we win."

He paused, then continued.

"At the end of the first phase, we obtained 80,000 gold coins."

"This was achieved at the cost of the lives of 30,000 compatriots."

"Every gold coin is stained with blood."

"Not a single gold coin should be wasted."

"Next—"

His gaze swept over everyone.

"We need to do two things."

"First, construct defensive fortifications."

"Earth walls, wooden walls, anything that can stop the enemy."

"We must have our own city."

"Second, upgrade the weapons."

"Ironware, steelware, and even sharper weapons."

"We must be stronger than our enemy."

"Only in this way can we survive."

"Only in this way can we win."

"yes!"

Five hundred thousand people roared in unison.

The sound resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Next, everyone sprang into action.

Architectural experts began planning the city.

They exchanged the gold coins for building tools and materials.

Measure, mark lines, lay foundations.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

Of the 500,000 people, 200,000 were assigned to participate in the construction.

They dug the soil, mixed the mud, and rammed it.

One earthen wall after another gradually took shape.

Although simple, it is sturdy enough.

Although it's not tall, it can still block the enemy.

Metallurgical experts are working tirelessly to develop weapons.

They exchanged gold coins for large quantities of iron ore and coal.

The furnace flames roared, and the hammers clanged loudly.

One piece of ironware after another was produced from the furnace.

Iron knives, iron swords, iron spears, iron arrows.

A small amount of steel was reserved for the most elite warriors.

Three hundred thousand people took turns participating in the development of the weapons.

Some people were in charge of mining, and some were in charge of smelting.

Some are responsible for forging, and some are responsible for honing.

Everyone is busy, everyone is working hard.

Lin Feng wasn't idle either.

He constantly inspected various parts of the residence.

Check the progress of the earthen wall construction and the quality of the weapons.

If a problem is discovered, resolve it immediately.

If you encounter difficulties, offer help immediately.

His figure appeared in every corner.

His voice reached everyone's ears.

"Speed ​​up."

"The enemy won't wait for us."

"We must get ahead of them."

"yes!"

Everyone worked even harder.

Time passed, day by day.

The enemy did not come on the first night.

All civilizations are in a state of rest and development.

The second night was still peaceful.

The same thing happened on the third night.

But no one let their guard down.

Because everyone knows—

This is just the calm before the storm.

Even greater battles are yet to come.

On the fourth day, the earthen wall began to take shape.

A five-meter-high earthen wall surrounds the entire encampment.

Although rudimentary, it was enough to block the enemy's first wave of attack.

On the fifth day, weapon production increased significantly.

Humans already possess ten thousand iron tools and five thousand steel tools.

Elite soldiers, all changed their uniforms.

Day six, day seven, day eight...

Every day, humanity is getting stronger.

The earthen walls grew higher and thicker.

Weapons are becoming more numerous and sharper.

The soldiers' training never stopped.

Running, fighting, teamwork, tactics.

Everyone is working hard to improve themselves.

Day 9.

The earthen wall is completed.

A sturdy earthen wall, ten meters high, firmly protected the entire outpost.

A watchtower was set up on the wall to observe the enemy's movements.

There are hidden troop tunnels behind the wall, which can quickly mobilize troops.

This was the first city built by humankind.

Though simple, it is something to be proud of.

tenth day.

Weapon production reached its peak.

Humans already possess 50,000 iron tools and 10,000 steel tools.

Five hundred thousand soldiers, all fully armed and in place.

Knife, sword, spear, arrow, shield.

Everything is available.

Lin Feng stood on the city wall, watching all of this.

A look of relief flashed in his eyes.

Ten days.

In just ten days.

Humans built their own cities from scratch.

From weak to strong, they armed their own warriors.

Now, they are ready.

Be prepared to face any enemy.

Be prepared to face any challenge.

In the distance, the other eight civilizations were also busy.

The metal walls of the Mechanicus' stronghold have been completed.

The Psionic Council's headquarters was shrouded in a psychic barrier that appeared and disappeared intermittently.

The aura of flames grew stronger in the territory of the Crimson Flame Dragon Clan.

The Frost Phoenix Clan's stronghold was bitterly cold.

Lightning crackled in the Thunder Beast Clan's stronghold.

The Shadow Wolf Clan's stronghold was shrouded in darkness.

The earth shook violently at the territory of the Earth Bear Clan.

There is another civilization that is also striving to develop.

Everyone is racing against time.

Everyone is striving to become stronger.

Because everyone knows—

The real war is about to begin.

Lin Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at the soldiers beside him.

"Get a good rest tonight."

He said.

"tomorrow--"

"There may be an even bigger battle ahead."

"yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Night falls.

The stars disappeared, and the world was plunged into darkness.

But this time, there was no enemy attack.

All civilizations are in a period of rest and recuperation.

Everyone is waiting.

Waiting for that fateful moment.

Lin Feng stood on the city wall, looking out into the endless darkness.

A determined light shone in his eyes.

The second phase has begun.

Humanity is ready.
