In terms of individual strength, Xiangliu is definitely stronger than the Lich King, but the Lich King who controls the Scourge Legion has far more harm than the lonely Xiangliu.

No matter how powerful one is, it can't compare to the state machine. You are getting stronger, and others are also getting stronger, but the more you go up, the harder it is to improve. Just like Xiang Ningxuan now, it is difficult to break through again.

Don’t look at the awesome protagonists in online novels, such as exploding the planet with one punch or breaking the stars with one kick, they are all YY. If they really are so awesome, they would have long surpassed the scope of human beings.

Don’t think about it, human bodies have limits. Even natural gods, such as Fuxi and Nuwa, are just a little higher. Otherwise, why would they retire successfully?

Do you think you are a Super Saiyan, and you can grow by dozens or millions of dollars by just one type of fighting ability?

After a normal human being breaks through ten seconds of 10 meters, every 0.01 second of improvement will cost countless times. After the end of the world, although the upper limit of human beings has increased, there are also limits. For example, if Xiang Ningxuan wants to break through at this time, he must first reach the extraordinary realm of energy, energy and spirit, that is, increase his upper limit. The easiest breakthrough of the essence (physical body) will have to undergo purgatory-like training, which is almost painful.

However, the improvement of national strength will increase as the progress of technology. It can be foreseen that when key technologies such as controllable nuclear fusion, psionic chips, and genetic technology are formed, national strength will usher in a wave of rapid growth.

After the end of the world, various awesome black technologies emerged, and there is no bottleneck in the short term. The three industrial revolutions have increased the level of human productivity by thousands of times, and the emergence of psychic energy is no less than any industrial revolution. The comprehensive national strength will grow exponentially.

The only thing that limits the state machine is the issue of sending troops. Therefore, the top experts who are easy to send are still the super thugs that the state machine needs the most. Integrating into it, using the collective power to improve oneself, and at the same time, using their own power to serve the collective, this is the best choice.

At present, the Longxiang Army has opened the Central Plains road, and Rong Zheng has pushed the troops to the southern coastal areas. In this way, the three major economic circles of the Republic have been connected before the end of the world, and the most densely populated areas in the eastern coastal areas can be interconnected. This area is the essence of the entire Republic. Talents, materials, science and technology, economy, etc. account for most of the country. Once it moves, exchanges and complementary can achieve the best results.

This strategic significance is very important. Localities can concentrate their efforts on developing advantageous industries and climb different branches of science and technology trees.

For example, transportation, Sijiu City is mainly engaged in traditional high-speed rail projects, which can be put into practical use; Rong Zheng is mainly engaged in anti-gravity floating technology obtained from Naxxamas, and has begun to manufacture prototypes; while Taichu Group is mainly engaged in more high-end space transmission technology, and is still in the pre-research stage, so it can only build some rewind scrolls, and can only be used in areas supported by Magic Net. All parties have developed high-middle and low-end technologies, and the low-end ones can be put into use immediately, while the mid-to-high-end ones are for the future.

Shen Rui introduced some situations in his hometown.

Xiang Ningxuan sighed: "The development momentum is good now! If I hadn't discovered the traces of the Lich King and the Scourge, I had to go to Tianzhu. Otherwise, I would really want to go home immediately to see how much changes there will be."

Shen Rui said: "You are doing well! We are all rumored that you are alone in Yunnan Province, which is comparable to Xue Rengui's three arrows to Tianshan Mountain. Therefore, the superiors decided to send more top experts to patrol the four sides and stabilize the situation in the border. This time, I not only send you things, but also go to Guizhou Province to take a walk. Now we are still staying in China to fight monsters and upgrade, and you are going to show your power again."

"Hey, when did you learn to flatter?" Xiang Ningxuan said, and said seriously, "Old Shen, do you think if we confirm that the undead natural disasters are flooding in India, how long does it take to prepare for us to send troops to the plateau and take the Lich King straight?"

Shen Rui shook his head and said, "It's hard to say! It depends on how much capital it is. If Ah San can withstand it, of course they will be allowed to carry it for a while; if they are about to collapse, then we have to send troops before the Lich King returns to the army. That's why the superiors ask you to confirm it in person!"

"Okay, since the letter of nationality and supplies have been in place, I'm going to set off."

The power structure of the Nanzhao area has been re-divided. The Hexian area, which is controlled by 10,000 Chuncheng Army as the basis, has become Lin Boyun's sphere of influence; Feng Qingru's black and white Miao formed an alliance, and Rongxian and Santa Temple, controlled by Xiang Ningxuan, formed a sphere of influence of Longxiang Army; led by Yang Xianyong, a local force was formed. The three parties served as the heads of the party, government and military in Nanzhao City respectively.

In this way, the three forces formed a new balance in the Nanzhao area, and other small and medium-sized forces either defected to a certain group or became fences.

Due to the needs of internal economic development and the threat of external monsters, cooperation among the three forces will definitely exceed contradictions in the short term, and it should be able to maintain a considerable period of peaceful development.

In addition, since the Nanzhao region has been roughly pacified, it is naturally responsible for providing help to the surrounding areas.

After a lot of busyness, it was already the January issue. Xiang Ningxuan didn't want to delay anything anymore. After turning off everything, he rode the six-tooth white elephant and headed west. The white elephant was filled with food, drinking water and high-end technological magical devices as diplomatic gifts.

Whether it is true or false, the well-known people in Nanzhao area gathered again and reluctantly bid farewell.

This time, those who went to Tianzhu with Xiang Ningxuan were Chu Jiangyue and Amoris, Yuanhui and Chanyue of Santa Temple. In addition, since the road would pass many areas in Yunnan Province, He Dongjun and Zhang Yun would also take a ride to the adjacent Lancheng area, representing Xiang Ningxuan to integrate the local military and political economy.

From Nanzhao through Lancheng to Bagan, there is a Yunnan dandelion road connected. Although the madly growing primeval forest swallowed up the road after the end of the world, the roadbed is still there. As long as there is no cliff or something to hold it, some newly grown trees cannot stop the footsteps of the six-tooth white elephant.

The various monsters on the road can only avoid the Six-toothed White Elephant from afar. Even if there is no eye-opener, it is not its enemy. What kind of mountain spirit, tree monster, jackal, tiger and leopard, nothing can block the power of Six-toothed White Elephant.

In less than ten hours, Xiang Ningxuan and his group had arrived at the largest survivor settlement in Lancheng area. There was a population of about 100,000, and the situation was similar to that of Nanzhao. The land was vast and sparsely populated, and it was intertwined with alien forces. However, due to the close proximity to the Bagan border, there was a strong combat garrison here, which was established by fighting all the way, and was managed in a militarized manner.

Xiang Ningxuan has been in Nanzhao for more than a month, and Lancheng is close at hand, so he naturally heard some rumors. As soon as he arrived, the local military head immediately expressed his obedience to the arrangements of the central government and the provincial government, but also hoped to receive support.
