386 Primary Rank Three! (1/2)

To the entire Federation, this was an extremely serious matter. Back in the day, the Martian Colony Governor reached Secondary Rank One though her achievements in the Martian City, which also placed her in the candidacy for the next Federation President.

Right now, the newly appointed Wang Baole, who was Primary Rank Four, was also building a stronghold. As a result, he garnered a lot of attention and drew so much discussion that it was indescribable.

In an instant, all the media outlets were covering the matter. The fact that they knew about the matter proved that it was an outcome that had resulted from a push by the Federation, Mars, and the various factions!

In reality, once the matter surfaced, it was hyped up by others and was discussed by everyone on Earth. The people on Mars were also very interested in the matter.

With the attention of the entire Federation, Wang Baole's reasons for suggesting that a stronghold be built soon spread. There were two main points, the first being that a new catacomb had appeared in the New Mars Region, which proved that the Martian Colony Governor's previous judgment that the Divine Armament wouldn't give the Federation more time was correct.

If they didn't act to stop it immediately, the appearance of more catacombs would result in disaster, putting Mars in immense danger. At the same time, it was merely a new city zone, and even though it was possible to dissolve the barrier in ten years, it would obviously still be too late!

Therefore, it was necessary to build a bigger stronghold to suppress the catacombs, and to gain complete control over the rate at which the Divine Armament Catacombs erupted.

The second reason was the Great Baole Array Formation that Wang Baole had suggested. This array formation was created by Zhao Yameng and the Ethereal Dao College according to Wang Baole's ideas and cultivation techniques, which were eventually tried and tested. Once it was laid out in the scale of the stronghold, it would only take a maximum of three years to completely dissolve the barrier!

This way, the speed of dissolving would be so fast that it would slow the appearance of new catacombs even more significantly. Mars would be able to gain control of the situation within two to three years!

Each of these reasons for building a bigger stronghold could be tested, as they were backed by credible information, and could, therefore, be pushed forward. Naturally, this resulted in Mars and the Federation regarding it highly.

Without a doubt, the outcome that Wang Baole had promoted was extremely tempting to the Federation and Mars. Completely dissolving the barrier in three years meant that it was three times faster than what was possible before.

It may seem like it was only three times, but to the Federation and Mars, the time saved could be used to do other things. At the same time, a large amount of resources could be saved.

Despite that, if no one were to support the idea, or if there were many detractors, then the Federation would still evaluate the pros and cons—perhaps even using other methods to replace the proposal. After all, the new stronghold wasn't a new city zone, and once built, it meant that a large number of Nobles would need to be assigned, and that was something that the Federation didn't want to do.

However, Wang Baole was logical and had ample information that made his reason for building the city strong. He even gained the spotlight through this. Most importantly, perhaps due to concerns about safety, or because the views put forth by Wang Baole were aligned with the basis of her judgment, or for some other reason… the Martian Colony Governor, who seldom interfered with the internal affairs of the Federation, firmly chose to support the proposal!

She supported Wang Baole in building the array formation and transforming the city zone into a city!

The Martian Colony Governor's attitude influenced the Federation significantly. More importantly, the four Dao Colleges also made their stance clear at this time to support the transformation of the new city zone into a new city. At the same time, they pledged their willingness to provide resources to construct the second Mars City for the Federation and all mankind!

The Senate followed after the four Dao Colleges. This time, the Seventeen Senator Coalition of the Senate announced their support for the building of the second city on Mars in unison. That way, the two factions that could equally influence the Federation had stepped forward, which made it even more likely that the new city could be approved for construction.

However, not all factions expressed their support. Soon, the Galactic Dusk Sect and Plume Manifestation Connate Sect, followed by the Five Generation Sky Clan, activated their resources to prevent the matter from going through. Their factions were powerful, and with the lack of their support, there were delays to the building of the city.

Despite that, they were all sly old foxes. The motives of the three factions were known between each other. Therefore, at that moment, the three factions immediately activated their resources, and even the military made a statement as well. Eventually, it appeared as if the three opponents found out about the background of the matter. They appeared to be acting for the greater good of society and switched their stance to support the proposal. In reality, however, countless exchanges were taking place beneath the surface…

Regardless, the Federation President eventually sent the order to deploy an assessment team to carry on-site assessments of the New Mars Region to make the final decision!

This time around, the assessment was merely a formality. After all, the various factions were incredibly intelligent, and they had long had a clear understanding of Wang Baole's suggestion and the actual situation. Therefore, after the assessment, which, together with everything else, lasted a month's time, the Federation finally announced the news to everyone.

They allowed the New Mars Region to be transformed into the second Martian City!
