Chapter 515: Winter Moon Defense Network

Luckily, it hasn't caught fire yet.
Old Jin's gaze solidified. The tiny flicker of flame was so comical compared to the monstrous creature that had just emerged from the ground, but

A flash of light
No, that's a sledgehammer!
The behemoth's body was pressed back into the ground as soon as it emerged.
The sturdy shell creaked with a bone-jarring groan under the immense pressure.
In just one second, the behemoth began to disintegrate from its head.
The sour smell spread through the air, but it was quickly replaced by the acrid taste of burning lake.
Light blooms.
Laojing covered the little boy's eyes, and when he opened them, where were there any giant beasts in the world
"Old Man"
The Lingwang is a technology from the Qin Dynasty. Although it's outdated, the technology isn't completely obsolete, and Lu Cheng hasn't found anything better yet.
Setting up a 【Spirit Web】 within the Winter Moon Realm is a huge undertaking, but luckily we have a pre-existing one.
The mainland's [Card Master Network] is a massive virtual reality world maintained by millions of modular cards. Winter Moon's Card Master Network belongs to the local government. During the reign of King Little Lion, for the convenience of network control, it was temporarily removed from the royal family.
I have to say, this is the only good thing he's done. Now that the royals are gone, there's naturally no repayment for the debt.
Lu Cheng put most of the financial budget here, transforming it into a characteristic network with a 【Lingwang】 function.
In normal times, it doesn't affect the use of 【Card Master Network】. As soon as something happens, it can immediately turn into 【Spirit Network】 and be personally powered by Lu Cheng himself.
The Card Master Network spans the entirety of Wintermoon. Currently, the entire region of Wintermoon has been gridded, and with just a slight delay, Lu Cheng can use the [Spirit Web] to supply power to nearby [Defense Cards] or notify nearby Card Masters.
The initial defense cards had random shield and hint functionalities, but that wasn't the impressive part.
This is not the final resort.
But after the spiritual network was flipped, Lu Cheng could sense it.
The old way, if you can't pinpoint the enemy, locate your own cards first. A giant beast that covers the sky is hidden in the winter moon above.
Under the newly constructed 【Mirage Platform】 (providing concealment equivalent to your card's star rating, consumes one mist weather card each use), it is difficult to detect unless you directly scan the sky with a Gold Detection Card.
Because we got the financial budget, ["Dinghai Shenzhen"] has been partially repaired. However, as the mythical fragments serve as a trump card, it cannot be easily armed.
In a pinch, Lü Cheng will summon the [Dinghai Shenguang] from the sky to strike his target.
Even at the farthest reaches of winter's edge, this legendary spell card of the Golden 1 Star can reach its destination within 10 minutes.
This formed a defensive line, fulfilling the promise of defense.
But Lu Cheng himself was quite dissatisfied with this thing.
After all, it's an old thing from the Qin Dynasty, with low energy efficiency and high latency.
Lu Cheng, at the Winter Moon Energy Center, it takes almost 3 minutes to supply power to the most remote villages. Most importantly, it consumes about three times the energy.
A massive amount of energy was dissipated during the transmission process.
Given the excessive energy expenditure, Lu Cheng staunchly denied at the political meeting that Lingwang belonged to him personally. He argued logically and forcefully, pointing out that even during his prosperous period, while energy existed, the cost of cards and maintaining Lingwang was a significant financial burden!
Even if he had some, where would he get so much money
This is not just a show, to maintain the entire winter defense, Lu Cheng really can't afford it.
The Executive Council has no reason to refute this.
On the first day of fully activating the defense network, 314 reports were received. The Crimson Moon Brigade successfully handled 171 of them, while the rest were wiped out by bombardment. There were only 3 failures.
This is a shocking number. The data is cold, but everyone knows that behind the cold numbers lies the December leadership, yesterday's fireworks and silver flowers!
Losing hundreds of legendary spells in a day, even a new official wouldn't be this hot-headed.
Universal Spell Support.
Currently, besides Zhongdu (formerly the imperial city), no other province has achieved this. As is widely known, Zhongdu's degradation erosion rate is 0.
If they can maintain this level of attack, Fana surmised that within half a month, the deterioration and erosion within would drop to below 30%, leaving only deteriorating secret realms.
Maintaining this level of effectiveness, even if Lu Cheng took ten times the current budget, would be reasonable. After all, a high-ranking star card master wielding their power at this intensity is worth that price.
The next day, the State Council was besieged by reporters.
"Miss Farah, hello. I'm Dongyue from the Frontline Observation. This large-scale offensive, is it led by the new lord against the worsening forces and criminals" a female reporter asked.
"Hello, this isn't an offensive, it's a defensive stance. This isn't a full-scale attack, but the norm," Fana replied politely.
"Miss Farna, hello. I am from the Mist City. May I ask how long Lord Wintermoon's private armed forces can maintain this level of consistent offensive strength"
The lord stated at the administrative meeting that the Winter Moon Defense Net is the people's defense net, everyone's lifeline, and not his personal possession.
"Does this mean that funds and energy come from the people and are used for the people, and what's the labor fee for the lord himself"
I have nothing to report.
"Miss Fannah, the legendary spellcasting is powerful. We in Mist City observed that three spells fell near the Wintermoon border last night. How does Lord [Name] maintain his accuracy without harming civilians"
"The lord had various measures to keep the defensive card outside the spell range."
As for maintaining accuracy, Lu Cheng described his "Arcane Strike Triangulation Principle" at yesterday's cabinet meeting when he was pitching investments. He explained that by sensing the point where the malicious energy appears last and then determining the location of the Defense Card nearby, along with the surrounding Spirit Net Card positions, a triangle is formed...
When Lu Cheng talked about dual-card long edge measurement, everyone was basically asleep.
Fana swore she was listening intently, but Rick's voice from the back row was just too loud. Right, it had to be Rick's problem!
“Lady Farna, the lord has kept himself hidden since taking office. Is this to maintain his authority”
"I'm sorry, I have nothing to offer."
"I wonder if you came to Dongyue in advance knowing that there would be dimensional card masters stationed here. What do you think of Dongyue's potential for development"
"The lord himself has explicitly denied being an Out-of-Position Card Master. As for my personal matters, I have nothing to say."
"Ms. Fan Na, some well-known analysts in the outside world believe that it is impossible for Dongyue to sustain the kind of magical power wielded by a master spellcaster like this. They predict the spells will soon cease functioning. What are your thoughts on this"
"First, the lord denied being an out-of-position card master. Second, the lord currently subsidizes most of it himself, and Dongyue is not under financial pressure. Third, things are developing; how can we determine that Dongyue cannot afford it"was spring.That day and night, the bright mirror hung high.The arrival of the "first wave" was unsummoned.
