Therefore, even without Wang Lin, there would not be significant changes to the continent's landscape or future developments.
The key point was that Tang San, that brainless fool, was an existence the Sun Moon Empire could not avoid no matter what.
Wang Lin had read the part in the original work where Tang San threatened Ju Zi.
To be honest, given Tang San's perspective, Wang Lin could understand him preventing unification. He could even understand him asking Ju Zi to return the Star Luo Empire's territory.
But there was one point Wang Lin absolutely could not understand: Tang San making the Sun Moon Empire change its name to the Heaven Dou Empire.
According to Huo Yuhao, although the Heavenly Soul and Dou Ling Empires were destroyed, their foundations were deep, and by renaming to Heaven Dou, the Sun Moon Empire might be assimilated.
But what was the result? Later on, it still became the Sun Moon Federation and drove away the Star Luo Empire.
This showed just what a clown Tang San was!
What Wang Lin wanted to do was to make it impossible for this clown, Tang San, to cause trouble. That meant making the Sun Moon Empire's forces stronger and more powerful.
The gods of Douluo were not invincible existences. If Tang San still wanted to engage in a divine descent, Wang Lin would give him a big surprise.
It had nothing to do with the bet between gods, or even Huo Yuhao. Ever since Wang Lin joined the Sun Moon Empire, Tang San had become his natural enemy.
The sun hung in mid-air. Clear sunlight passed through layers of branches and leaves, shining on a remote clearing in the Jing Yang Mountain Range.
Compared to a year ago, Wang Lin was a full head taller. Dressed in black combat attire, he was currently squatting in front of a peculiar cannon barrel, fiddling with it constantly.
Xiao Hongchen, holding a notebook, was also preparing to record data. However, compared to the confidence on Wang Lin's face, he seemed somewhat dazed.
"No, A Lin, are you sure this thing can really change the current mode of warfare?"
"Of course. Do you still not trust me?"
One year's time had completely drained all the knowledge from Wang Lin's mind, so he was now preparing to engage in military affairs. Currently, regarding research on Soul Tool weapons, the Sun Moon Empire was stuck on launch distance.
So far, no Soul Engineer had thought of a solution, but Wang Lin had one. He even had an extremely mature missile concept.
It was actually very simple: mount a soul missile on a flying Soul Tool. As long as there was sufficient soul power support and controlled variables.
Long-distance strikes could be achieved. The relevant thesis had been sent directly to the Enshrined Hall by Wang Lin through the Holy Spirit Cult's channels.
It was also the only thesis sent to the Enshrined Hall via the Holy Spirit Cult channel. This thesis was too important, as it also contained concepts related to bombers.
Although the Sun Moon Empire did not research bombers, flying Soul Tools combined with storage Soul Tools and stationary soul shells could already meet the requirements of a bomber.
This thesis could directly change the current mode of warfare, not to mention that Wang Lin mentioned multi-stage stationary soul missiles in it.
Of course, these were not things Wang Lin could research on his own, nor could Xiao Hongchen, so Wang Lin handed them directly to the Enshrined Hall.
At most, he could research mortars, which he and Xiao Hongchen had already produced. They came out this time to test the light mortar Soul Guide Cannon.
"It's loaded. Calculate it, Little Xiao."
Confirming that the light mortar was ready, Wang Lin took out a stationary soul shell and placed it to the side.
"Wait a moment."
As the President of the Science Club, Xiao Hongchen had naturally crammed mathematics and physics fiercely. Calculating the approximate landing point of a shell was no problem for him.
Based on the approximate distance of the target they selected, Xiao Hongchen quickly calculated the approximate angle for the mortar.
Based on the angle Xiao Hongchen calculated, Wang Lin adjusted the tilt angle of the mortar and then loaded the stationary soul shell into it.
Bang!
A booming sound rang out. The pitch-black shell rushed directly out of the muzzle, forming a perfect parabola in the air.
Bang!
The impact fuze contacted the ground first, triggering the soul guide structure inside the shell, and a huge explosion sounded.
The resulting shockwave instantly knocked down the trees surrounding the shell's landing point.
Crash!
Many birds were startled by the explosion and flew into the air.
Invisible spiritual fluctuations flashed over the landing point a kilometer away. Wang Lin said in a deep voice: "It deviated a little, but it's okay."
"What's good about missing the target?"
Xiao Hongchen clearly didn't understand. Wang Lin looked at Xiao Hongchen as if looking at a fool.
"When two armies confront each other, high precision isn't needed. An approximate range is enough. If a mortar Soul Guide Cannon position is established during a confrontation, and shells are fired into the enemy position first, even if the casualties aren't high, it will greatly blow the enemy's strength and morale."
With Wang Lin's explanation, Xiao Hongchen understood immediately, but he didn't take it to heart as he didn't plan to join the army.
"Let's continue the experiment and get some approximate data."
As shells were fired out one by one as if they cost nothing, the sky gradually turned dark. Wang Lin and Xiao Hongchen, who had tormented the Jing Yang Mountain Range all afternoon, finally stopped to rest.
Crackle!
Sparks jumped from the bright bonfire. The firelight shone on Xiao Hongchen's handsome face. He suddenly asked.
"A Lin, how is your family situation?"
"Not too good!"
Wang Lin knew what Xiao Hongchen was asking about. As his knowledge was disseminated, Wang Lin was listed as a key focus by the Mingde Hall, the Enshrined Hall, Xu Tianran, and the Holy Spirit Cult.
Especially the Holy Spirit Cult. Ye Xishui appeared a few times during the year. During one instance, she actually proposed a request to betroth the two Holy Maidens to him.
Fortunately, Wang Lin had entered the sights of Kong Deming and Xu Tianran at the same time. Otherwise, he might have been forced to agree.
Of course, contact with Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya was inevitable. He could confirm that Ma Xiaotao had been thoroughly brainwashed. On the contrary, Wang Lin was somewhat unsure about Tang Ya.
If one said she was brainwashed, Wang Lin didn't find many traces of brainwashing on her.
If one said she wasn't brainwashed, when Wang Lin asked Tang Ya for the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, this Tang Sect Master gave it to him without hesitation.
The original copy of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record was currently lying in Wang Lin's storage soul tool.
"So come with me to Shrek Academy!"
"Are you stupid?"
Wang Lin spoke bluntly. "You don't know my current situation. Even if your grandfather wanted me to go to Shrek Academy, many people would disagree."
"I was indeed a bit stupid just now." Xiao Hongchen naturally knew Wang Lin's current level of importance.
"Alright, don't worry. I have my own ways."
Before the Holy Spirit Cult officially stepped onto the stage, Wang Lin didn't need to worry too much about the Holy Spirit Cult's issues, thanks to Long Xiaoyao's protection.
In the entire Holy Spirit Cult, the only one Wang Lin needed to worry about was Ye Xishui.
However, with the Undead Demigod Plane, he didn't actually need to fear even Ye Xishui. As long as Wang Lin could be ruthless enough to abandon everything he currently possessed.
He could leave and break away from the Holy Spirit Cult at any time.
"Mainly because I'm leaving in half a year, and I'm a bit worried about you."
Xiao Hongchen shook his head, his face wearing a look of concern.
