Chapter 6: Pre-quest for the dungeon: Pearl Harbor Raid

Lin Ye began the intensive design of Raging Sea.

This was a massive undertaking, requiring the gradual addition of various details.

It was definitely not a task that could be completed in a day or two.

However, fortunately, Lin Ye currently had 30 days of Challenger exemption, so he had enough time.

The first step in designing a battlefield dungeon was to determine the number of Challengers who could participate.

This value was not fixed; initially, it was directly specified by the dungeon Designer, and subsequently, the Sky Curtain would adjust it based on the dungeon's difficulty.

Lin Ye had previously learned online that the most difficult dungeon in this world was a Hell-difficulty dungeon called Blood-Stained Marne River, with a capacity for 5,000 Challengers.

As for Royal Sea Battle, which Lin Ye had previously cleared, it had a Challenger capacity of 2,000.

Dungeons that could reach a scale of over a thousand people were considered top-tier in this world.

However... for a Five Great Powers dungeon, a thousand-person scale was completely insufficient and could not showcase the dungeon's true charm.

“Directly set the Challenger capacity to 10,000!”

Lin Ye's setting of this step triggered a warning from the Sky Curtain.

“Dear dungeon Designer, the Sky Curtain reminds you that too many Challengers will reduce the dungeon's difficulty and affect its rating. Please choose carefully…”

“If the dungeon population is too small, the Sky Curtain can adjust it in real-time later, but if the dungeon population is too large, the Sky Curtain cannot make corresponding adjustments…”

“Confirm setting the Challenger capacity to 10,000.”

Lin Ye had his own judgment; 10,000 Challengers, all still at the S1 era's warfare level, would make it virtually impossible to clear this dungeon.

Anyway, the Sky Curtain would definitely increase the number of Challengers later, so Lin Ye didn't need to deliberately suppress it.

Because the number of Challengers for each dungeon was directly linked to the rewards Lin Ye received.

Every failed Challenger could bring Lin Ye integral rewards.

Once the number was set, the next step was the issue of the dungeon forces and the Challengers' foothold. This was also a crucial step in dungeon design.

It directly determined the dungeon's difficulty and the subsequent Sky Curtain review.

The design logic for force distribution in this world was actually still at the level of terrain warfare.

They used extreme terrains, such as snowfields, deserts, and mountains, to increase the dungeon's difficulty.

Some Designers even forcibly increased difficulty in this aspect, violating the construction logic, which ultimately prevented their dungeons from passing the Sky Curtain's review…

But for Lin Ye, this was the simplest step.

Since he was designing a Five Great Powers-level dungeon like Raging Sea, there was no need to spend too much effort on terrain.

That would be too low-end and could even lead to a failed review.

Because with the Earth Online map, everything was already available, and Lin Ye's sphere of influence would be based on his previous life.

The gathering point for the Challengers' forces would be set on Little Rizi's island.

As for the dungeon forces, they would be placed in the location of the Eagle Country from his previous life.

The main battle location would be set at Pearl Harbor Military Base; Lin Ye changed its name to Pearl Harbor.

The various configurations from his previous life had all been tested and were absolutely reasonable and logical.

Next, Lin Ye began transmitting information about the Eagle Country in Genesis Space.

The Eagle Country, a multi-ethnic nation, was established 250 years ago after a war of independence, so its people valued freedom…

The Civil War broke out, a life-and-death struggle between whites and blacks, which then formed the mixed demographic of the Eagle Country.

The global wars of S1 and S2 allowed the Eagle Country to taste success, developing rapidly and quickly becoming a superpower.

To date, the Eagle Country has a total population of over 300 million and an annual GDP of 2.7 trillion dollars…

All this information about the Eagle Country came from Lin Ye's knowledge reserves; while not absolutely accurate, for Genesis Space, it was already quite detailed.

As Lin Ye continuously transmitted information, on the upper right corner of the Earth's map in Genesis Space, skyscrapers rose from the ground.

The Statue of Liberty, the Twin Towers, Los Santos, and more all appeared in the Eagle Country.

“Sky Curtain Tip: Model creation takes time, please wait patiently, dungeon Designer…”

The Sky Curtain directly displayed a prompt.

This was also a considerably large task, requiring a certain buffer time.

However, since it wasn't directly rejected, it meant that everything conformed to the Sky Curtain's creation logic, and it was just a matter of time.

This was already very good; it was estimated that no Designer had ever created such a large-scale dungeon before, so it was fortunate that the Sky Curtain didn't crash.

While the Eagle Country side was slowly being built, Lin Ye began configuring the most crucial elements for the dungeon—military weapons.

“Sky Curtain, can I set up a pre-dungeon within the main dungeon?”

“The pre-dungeon is relatively simple; only after completing the pre-dungeon will the real dungeon task be triggered.”

“The Sky Curtain encourages dungeon Designers to innovate dungeon gameplay.”

Lin Ye let out a breath.

Since this kind of thing was allowed, there was nothing to worry about.

He wanted to set up a small pre-task in Raging Sea, called “Raid on Pearl Harbor.”

It was like an appetizer before the main course.

In this pre-task, Lin Ye would arrange the Eagle Country's main naval force from the S2 era in Pearl Harbor—the TF58 Extermination Fleet!

The Extermination Fleet was composed of 7 task forces, each consisting of one to two Aircraft Carriers and several cruisers and destroyers.

Some people had commented that this fleet alone during World War II would be enough to annihilate the entire Little Rizi navy.

The key was that this was S2, while the current world's understanding of warfare was at S1.

Although only twenty-one years separated S1 and S2, this period experienced a military technology explosion.

Using World War II-era equipment against World War I-era Challengers was already an overwhelming advantage.

With a plan in mind, Lin Ye began inputting information for military readiness, such as Aircraft Carriers and destroyers.

As a military researcher from the future, he was very familiar with these World War II-era items.

He might not be able to build them himself, but he understood the principles very clearly.

This is where one of the benefits of Genesis Space was evident.

To a certain extent, Genesis Space's backend was like a giant AI.

You didn't need to do everything yourself; as long as you could explain the technical logic and the blueprint after completion, everything would be handled by the backend.

Under Lin Ye's information transmission, the TF58 Extermination Fleet had already begun construction in Pearl Harbor.

“Hmph… just one Extermination Fleet certainly won't be enough,” Lin Ye muttered to himself.

The current military deployment was only for the “Raid on Pearl Harbor” pre-task.

At most, it represented the Eagle Country's strength during the S2 era.

But this level of strength was simply not worthy of being called Raging Sea!

Why could Raging Sea become one of the Five Great Powers dungeons?

In this dungeon, there were the Eagle Country's 11 nuclear-powered submarine fleets that dominated the seven seas!

There were the Eagle Country's debuffs from economic, oil, and dollar sanctions!

There were the world's most powerful aerial combat units, and the most terrifying nuclear threat.

Lin Ye didn't expect to cram all of these into the dungeon, as it would take too much time, and he was still in the novice protection period, so he couldn't waste too much time.

But since it was a dungeon focused on naval warfare, the 11 nuclear-powered submarine fleets definitely had to be included!
