Full-time Creation Master

.......

Subsequently, the head of the military industry department stepped forward to seek instructions, mentioning their desire to develop biological warships.

By harnessing demonic genes and magical energy, they created their own unique warships.

Without a second thought, Chu Ming waved his hand dismissively, his tone tinged with wariness: "Forget about the biological warship."

I'm afraid I'll create a Zerg scourge—not the Zerg from Paradise Mountain (the Ten Thousand Mountains).

These are potential genetic mutations that we cannot control and that could backfire on their owner.

Do as I said, abandon the biological warships.

Focus on developing cost-effective metal magic warships and sufficiently inexpensive concrete warships.

No one dared to object, and they all agreed. The head of the military industry department bowed and withdrew, then began to adjust the research and development direction.

At this moment, Hua Zhanhong, the leader of the Southern Army, stepped forward.

He bowed and presented his application: "Your Majesty, I request 100,000 spirit seeds for next month, primarily to enhance the combat capabilities of the soldiers on the front lines of the Southern Military Region."

Especially the newly recruited soldiers and junior/intermediate mages,

This will help them achieve rapid breakthroughs and adapt to the demands of the battlefield.

Chu Ming glanced at the application and waved his hand dismissively.

With a dismissive air, and a slightly teasing tone, he said, "Don't tell me about the number of applications you've received."

"I don't care, such a large sum isn't something a military commander like you can decide."

"After discussing with the other four military leaders, we will coordinate the spiritual seed needs of the five military regions."

Then discuss it with the three prime ministers, Zhang, Wang, and Gao.

Can the accounting resources and reserves support this?

They agreed and came up with a unified allocation plan.

Hua Zhanhong's face showed a hint of helplessness. What a little fox!

He could only bow and reply, "Your subject obeys the decree. Upon returning, I will immediately discuss this with the other military leaders and the prime minister."

Immediately afterwards, the head of the aerospace department stepped forward to report on the progress of the warship fleet: "Your Majesty, it is expected that in September..."

The first batch of warships will be completed soon, all of them built to the standards of the third aircraft carrier. Their core propulsion system utilizes a dual-drive system of magical and mechanical energy, increasing their range by 30% compared to the previous batch.

Upon hearing the words "battleship group," Chu Ming's casual expression vanished instantly.

His expression became serious.

A fleet of warships with forbidden spell-level combat power would not, and would never, dare to, "dispute" with its subordinates.

Every report represents concrete progress.

The reporter continued, "Among them, the space carriers were named the Silver Moon-class aircraft carriers, totaling nine ships."

Everything has been slightly modified again, with the addition of an anti-gravity module.

Each ship can carry 3 forbidden spell-level combatants and 50 super-level mages.

Equipped with five forbidden-level arrays and an air defense system;

The battleships were named the Silvermoon-class battleships, totaling 9 x 4 = 28 ships.

There are only two or three forbidden spell-level formations.

Primarily designed for long-range fire support, it can penetrate the defensive barriers of even Emperor-level demons.

Many people are now speculating whether the Sunrise-class warship has been fully developed.

However, we haven't announced it yet—the Sunrise-class, as a higher-level warship, is currently still in the secret testing phase and will not be disclosed to the public for the time being.

Chu Ming nodded slightly and continued listening to the report: "The next-class cruisers, frigates, etc."

Based on the power of their main guns and their defensive capabilities, they will be uniformly named "Star-Rated Warships".

It is divided into three levels: Star, Silver, and Gold.

Combat strength increases sequentially.

A total of 831 ships were deployed, each suited for different missions such as corps escort, border patrol, and coastal defense.

After listening to the report, Chu Ming closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. There were already hundreds of thousands of concrete warships...

He then began to speak, methodically deploying the warships.

Each allocation took into account both the balance of combat power and the needs of all parties, demonstrating his strategic brilliance (mainly because the group, who had just been arguing over a warship, dared not argue with Chu Ming).

"The Silvermoon-class aircraft carriers will each be assigned one to one of the five military regions, that goes without saying."

"Also, allocate one ship to Eileen's four legions for long-range deployment of the Paladin Iron Warriors, helping them stabilize the situation in Europe and support the main battlefield of Great Xia."

"The Silvermoon-class battleships were originally planned to be initially allocated to the Steel Warriors in three ships."

never mind,

Let's be more generous and give each of the nine legions a ship.

"In addition, the first battle will be divided into one ship, which will focus on guarding the northern border and resisting the southward invasion of demons from outside the region;

The second division is to send one ship to guard the southern sea area and connect with the South China Sea battlefield;

The expeditionary force is divided into three vessels, used for both territorial expansion and resource exploration, serving a dual purpose of defense and exploration.

"Prime Ministers Zhang, Wang, and Gao, needless to say, you will also receive a share, one ship each, for official travel and security escort."

The dignity of the Grand Chancellor of the Great Xia Dynasty must not be lost, and the safety of you all when you are out overseeing government affairs must be ensured;

"One ship from the Forbidden City Guard was specifically assigned to protect the Imperial Palace and the core administrative area, thus strengthening the defense of the heartland of the Great Xia Dynasty."

Mo Fan's Knights of Light also received one ship;

"Each of the four capital cities—Wandu, Yandu, Nandu, and Xidu—will be assigned a ship to protect the capital's security and stabilize the domestic situation."

"In the event of an attack on the capital, a rapid response and full-scale defense are possible."

"The research institute will consist of at least three vessels, each with a different structural layout, and each will be used by the research departments to break through core technologies."

"The spirit officer team also needs a ship to carry out tasks such as controlling the spiritual energy of the entire domain and monitoring the movements of demons;

The trial court should consist of at least two vessels, with checks and balances to ensure impartial law enforcement.

It serves to deter treacherous officials and internal traitors, while also assisting the spirit officer team in carrying out special arrest missions.

"......."

As Chu Ming spoke, the attendant beside him quickly took notes.

Everyone present listened intently, and no one dared to interrupt.

They understood that this warship allocation plan concerned the overall combat power deployment of the Great Xia, and the ownership of every single warship.

If Chu Ming hadn't brought it up, there would still have been controversy, since who wouldn't want one more ship?

Sure enough, all the Silvermoon-class aircraft carriers and battleships were distributed in one go, with not a single one left.

"Your Majesty, we obey!"

.......

During the small meeting, when the topic of resource allocation and combat deployment came up, Chu Ming abruptly changed the subject.

His gaze swept over the decision-makers present, his tone conveying an undeniable urgency and decisiveness.

Each word was spoken with resounding force: "Life,"

Many lives,

Eugenics,

Both men and women are born! "

This statement, made without any prior warning, instantly plunged the conference room into a brief silence.

Everyone looked up, listening intently to what Chu Ming would say next.

Chu Ming raised his hand, his tone grave, and slowly said, "The current Great Xia Dynasty only has a total population of 140 billion, which is far too few."

This is far from sufficient to support our future plans and warfare.

Indeed, the Great Xia's territory continues to expand, from its homeland to its vassal states.

And how many people will be needed to guard, govern, and develop the territories we are about to explore?

Legion expansion requires manpower.

Research and development in research institutes requires talent.

People's livelihood needs practitioners.

Even the development of future magical planes cannot be separated from sufficient human resources.

140 billion people?

While it appears vast, when divided across such a wide territory and numerous fields, it becomes insufficient.

Moreover, it might be wiped out in some interdimensional war (Chu Ming had a strong feeling about this)!

There is now a shortage of recruits in major military regions.

The manpower for grassroots governance is becoming increasingly strained.

If things continue like this, it will inevitably hinder the development of Daxia sooner or later.

Wang Wenyan added at the opportune moment: "What Your Majesty says is absolutely right."

In recent years, due to frequent wars, the loss of troops has been enormous.

Although there have been additions, the base of suitable-quality population is still insufficient.

In the long run, there are still hidden dangers, and encouraging childbirth is indeed an urgent task.

Chu Ming nodded slightly, his tone becoming increasingly firm: "Moreover, the great battle to come will be a decisive battle concerning the survival of our race."

With each additional person, there is more hope and more combat power reserves.

Warriors, mages, and ordinary people alike are all the foundation of the Great Xia Dynasty.

"Having more children expands the population base and fills various labor shortages;"

Eugenics aims to improve the quality of the population and cultivate more capable talents for the Great Xia Dynasty.

Whether it's cultivation, scientific research, or governance, all require high-quality human resources.

"As for the excellent idea of ​​both men and women having children, which breaks with outdated concepts, we should continue to do so."

Every child is the future of Daxia; whether boy or girl, they are all precious.

We will absolutely not allow any preference for sons over daughters to hold us back.

He looked at Zhang Julu and Gao Yucai and solemnly instructed, "However, life is life."

Formulate policies to encourage childbirth and increase support—including maternity subsidies, education guarantees, and medical benefits—to be implemented comprehensively.

To enable people to dare to have children, be willing to have children, and be able to have children.

"Reduce the cost of childbirth and address people's concerns about the future."

Whether in towns or villages, whether nobles or commoners,

We will treat everyone equally; anyone who gives birth to children will receive corresponding support, and we will do our utmost to expand the population base of Daxia.

"What Great Xia truly needs is a highly educated population; education must not lag behind!"

Zhang Julu and Gao Yucai responded in unison, "Your Majesty's decree will be obeyed. Upon returning, we will immediately take the lead in formulating policies and do our utmost to implement Your Majesty's orders, ensuring that the pro-natalist policies take root and flourish."

Chu Ming surveyed the room, his tone softening but remaining firm: "This matter is of utmost urgency."

This achievement benefits the present and concerns the future of the Great Xia Dynasty. All of you must attach great importance to it and fully cooperate with the State Council in its implementation.

"We must ensure that the population of Great Xia catches up with the pace of development as soon as possible."
