Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

“The first type, the super-electromagnetic gun! Also known as the electromagnetic rail gun!

“The electromagnetic rail gun is a long-range, high-energy, multi-purpose weapon. It’s firing rate is three times that of the current naval gun. It has a range of more than one hundred miles and is powered by the energy stored on the ship. The electromagnetic guide rail accelerates the warhead to a very high speed before firing it. The electromagnetic railgun is not only fast, but it is also relatively economical. Compared with conventional weapons, the artillery propellant costs about ten dollars per joule of energy, while the electromagnetic gun only costs ten cents.

“The second type, laser weapons! This time, we are using two types: vehicle-borne tactical anti-missile laser weapons and airborne laser weapons. As to the power of these two laser weapons, hehe, please let me keep you in suspense first.

“The third type, and also the strongest, beam energy weapon!

“This kind of weapon can be launched from land, vehicle, ship, and spacecraft. It is characterized by a fast rate of fire and it can burn through a target that is hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers away in an instant. It is especially useful against precision-guided high-tech weapons. That is why it is considered to be an ideal weapon for use as tactical air defense, anti-armor, photoelectric countermeasures, and even anti-strategic missiles and anti-satellite. Doesn’t Hong Dali have that force field that can distort the missile’s path? With beam energy weapons, I believe that we will be able to easily negate any defensive shields!”

When Itra had finished introducing all the latest weapons of the Merika military, the Bureau Chief’s brows were deeply furrowed.

Merika indeed had the ability, that was why they dared to conduct military exercises at the gates of the Heavenly State.

There was no need to talk further about the three aircraft carrier battle groups. The important thing was the three new weapons. He had previously heard from the scientists at the Academy of Sciences about the power of such weapons. Any one of them would be far more powerful than any of the currently used conventional weapons. They brought out all three types together! He was especially concerned about the beam energy weapon. Whether it could be deflected by a distortion field had yet to be known.

“This is troublesome.” The Bureau Chief took a deep breath and muttered, “The little brat Hong Dali has no more rivals in the Heavenly State. However, barely has one problem been solved than another arises. Merika is a big army and they are pressuring us right at our doorstep. We have to do something in response…”

As he was worrying about it, a phone call from the mysterious man came. The Bureau Chief quickly answered. The mysterious man asked directly, “Wu Di, have you seen the latest report from Merika?”

“I’ve seen it, Big Boss.” The Bureau Chief said, “They are out to show their power this time. They are killing three birds with one stone. One, to show their military prowess to the entire world. Two, to test whether our distortion field really works. And three, to forcibly try Hong Dali. Things are complicated. I have no good solution at the moment.”

“Not just these.” The mysterious man’s voice was heavy. “The economy of Jaban has started showing signs of a big change. If they successfully take Hong Dali away and gain control of Sea Turtle Island, not only will their power increase significantly internationally, Jaban might also become one of their controlled regions in the future. By then, if they use Jaban as a launchpad, our Heavenly State could come under fire anytime.

“That’s true!” The Bureau Chief was jolted awake and finally remembered that what he said might happen was very much possible. “Big Boss, that may be their real purpose! What should we do? It would not be right if we do not deal with this matter.”

If Merika killed four birds with one stone like what they had predicted, they would be in deep trouble.

“I don’t have any good solution at present.” The mysterious man sighed and said, “What we lack most now is time. Many of the technologies that we have obtained from Hong Dali have reached the final stages of research, and they can be put into practical use before long. The problem is that we don’t have enough time. We are not able to implement them in time for this military exercise. If we use them rashly, we might end up with some disgraceful accidents and worse, we might lose our soldiers. Those are lives, how can we bear to lose them just like that!”

What he said was correct. What the Heavenly State lacked most was time.

The program for the perfect Mechanical Holy Garment had yet to be tested. The power source for Granzon and Valsion had yet to be fully developed. The initial plans for the energy storage methods of the perfect aircraft were ready, but it had yet to be put into production. The weapons to be mounted on the Mechanical Holy Garments worn by individual soldiers had yet to be built.

Actually, these were not the worst. What really troubled the Bureau Chief was that the transformed Granzon and Valsion were still standing there, unable to move…

Rage!

The Bureau Chief was troubled, he was depressed. He was pulling hair out by the handfuls—but pulling out all his hair would not help. The Small High-Energy Electronic Collision Machine was not something that could be manufactured in a day or two…

“There’s really nothing we can do.” The Bureau Chief said, “Merika chose such a time to come at us, even if we wanted to, we really don’t have anything that we can use against them. If there’s no other choice, let’s deal with everything by not responding?”

“No.” The mysterious man immediately rejected the idea. “If we don’t respond by the time the military exercise is over, their next step will be to request the United Nations to bring Hong Dali to trial. After all, Tarō Gohon is dead, and they claim that the killer was sent by Hong Dali. The most important thing is that Tarō Gohon did indeed die by the Blood Demon’s hand. That is something we cannot deny. Merika must have come up with this reason because they have some concrete evidence. We cannot hand Hong Dali over, and we obviously cannot touch anyone around him. You know Hong Dali is super protective. So, at the moment, I feel that our only choice is to let Hong Dali loose!”

“Ah? Let him loose?” The Bureau Chief was surprised. “Let him loose where? Banish him?”

“Of course not.” The mysterious man said slowly, “Don’t aircraft carriers normally travel in formations? Let’s arrange a carrier strike group for Hong Dali’s two aircraft carriers! Fighter planes, nuclear submarines! Make sure he has everything that a regular aircraft carrier battle group has. Then,” the mysterious man said in a low voice, “send Hong Dali out to travel around the world!”

“Ah? Send him out to travel around the world?” The Bureau Chief was temporarily stunned, but he soon understood. “Hahahaha, Big Boss, you’re really clever. I have to admit that! Haha, to give Hong Dali an entire carrier strike group, so we can say that our military might is out at sea, then we won’t have to hold a military exercise against Merika’s military exercise. We could just get some Mechanical Holy Garments and have a small military exercise on land. The Merika military exercise would have nothing to fight against and we would not have to respond to them directly. If they really want to create trouble for Hong Dali, hehe, I think none of them actually dares to go heads on with the little brat’s Big Fish. Big Boss, this plan of yours is fantastic!”

“I have no other choice. It’s not something I wish to do.” The mysterious man sighed. This time, even the number one person in the Heavenly State cursed. “Damn, Hong Dali, this kid always manages to get something good out of misfortune. Merika wants to try him, and he gets an aircraft carrier strike group…”

“That’s true.” The Bureau Chief laughed out loud. “But Big Boss, there’s something you don’t know. There are two thirty-meter high mechas on his aircraft carrier. Hong Dali calls them Gundam or something. They are super amazing, just that their power engine is still under development. Once the development is complete, even if Merika sends thirty aircraft carrier battle groups, they would not be a match, not to mention just three—they are made with Adamantium ore. All weapons are useless in the face of it. Haha!”

“The brat has always been able to come up with stuff. I’m already used to it.” When he heard the Bureau Chief say that Hong Dali had two Gundams, the mysterious man was actually very happy. “It’s a pity that Merika chose this timing to come…”

Timing. It was timing that troubled the mysterious man.

If the timing was a little later, when the development of the power engines for Hong Dali’s two mechas was complete, they would not have to be afraid of any Merika military exercise. They could just blast them and say it was a misfire. Merika would not dare to say anything about it!

“By the way, Big Boss, what about the Sea Turtle Island?” The Bureau Chief suddenly thought of this matter. He asked, “What if they block off the sea around it?”

“Then we will fire the first shot!” The mysterious man gritted his teeth. “I don’t believe they will dare to go to war with us!”

“That’s true.” The Bureau Chief agreed, and then carefully asked, “But Big Boss, what if we really start fighting?”

“If we really start fighting?” The mysterious man was silent for a moment, before saying in a serious voice, “Then we’ll go to war! If we lose, the brat Hong Dali will definitely be able to take revenge for us! If we win, there will definitely be benefits. If we lose, you pull them down with us, no loss! If they really dare to fight us, then f**k them! Fight them to the end!”

Confidence. Actually, in many times, confidence was really important.

If they dare to fight, we’ll fight back!

No one can do anything to those who are not afraid of death!

The mysterious man was really going all out here. Dared to fight? If you dared to attack us, we would fight back. If things went badly for us, we would make sure they go badly for you too. Even if we really lost, it was not a big deal. Hong Dali will definitely avenge us!

“Good!” The Bureau Chief agreed vehemently. “If they really start fighting, then f**k them!”

“Well, that’s settled.” The mysterious man knew about Hong Dali’s encounter with the aliens. In fact, the first thing the Bureau Chief did after emerging from the virtual world was to report to him. The next thing he did was develop the Water Spirit Village. There was no one in the Heavenly State now whose life was as precious as that of Hong Dali. If anything were to happen to Hong Dali, it would not be a matter of winning or losing a war—in the worst-case scenario, the Earth could become enslaved.

“I will make arrangements with the Merika Embassy first, then.” The Bureau Chief asked tentatively, “Buy some time?”

“Yes.” The mysterious man nodded immediately. “The most important thing is to buy time.”
