Another breeze blew across the courtyard, and the cold air flow made people feel energetic.

The first snow of this winter has not yet arrived, but the mages who observed the astronomical phenomena predicted that a light snow would come this morning; the green trees not far away were shaking their branches in the wind, and a light rustling sound came from time to time; on the balcony opposite the garden, His Highness, the Great Consul of the Empire and His Highness of the Queen were standing next to the window with their heads down; in the sunny courtyard, Betty, wearing winter clothes, stood quietly next to the trolley, showing a faint smile in the breeze.

Everything here fell in Enya's "eyes". The quiet and daily scene seemed to quietly trigger some very, very ancient, yellow and faded impressions in her memory. It might be a courtyard in Tallongde millions of years ago, a night when the dragon civilization was still developing ignorantly among the mountains, or it might be just a fragment she saw in the dream of a believer. She laughed and her voice was gentle and calm: "Do you like such days?"

"I like it," Betty replied without hesitation, "there is no better day than this."

"Yes... there is no better day than this. Today's sunshine is the best in this period," Enya said softly, shining on her floating golden shell with glittering light. The place where the two lights merged gently rippled like ripples of water. "But it's about to snow, and today's sunshine may be very short."

In the distant horizon, a little lead-gray cloud appeared quietly at some point, and was gathering towards the city little by little. It seemed that as the wizards responsible for predicting the astronomical phenomena calculated, the first snow this winter will soon arrive.

Betty blinked and looked at Enya with some confusion: "Are you saying something very philosophical?"

Enya was curious: "Oh? Why did she say that?"

"Ms. Amber told me that if a big man suddenly turned to something else while talking about something normal, and seemed to be sighing, it was saying very philosophical," Betty replied seriously. "Although I didn't understand it very well at the time, I think you were saying very philosophical just now."

"...I'm just sighing about the weather," Enya laughed, the laughter sounded particularly pleasant. "It's comfortable to bask in the sun, but it feels good to occasionally blow the cold wind in the snow, but you have to be careful not to catch a cold."

"Don't worry!" Betty immediately patted his chest and said proudly, "I'm in a strong body, and I haven't been sick for two years. His Majesty said I'm nutritional...."

Enya just chuckled, her "eye" turned to the sky, and then she seemed to feel something. Her attention fell on a certain position in the sky, which was pointing towards Frost Sky. She "looked at" the sky thoughtfully, as if she heard a distant sound. In the long silence that followed, a snowflake finally fell quietly from the sky.

This was the first snowfall in Cecil's winter in the 4th year, and it came a little earlier than in previous years.

An emergency meeting invitation was sent from Cecil to the Union countries.

In the recent wasteland war, modern communication technology and the amazing role played by "alliance integration" proved to everyone that the power of the "magic era" brought by Gowen Cecil. Even the small countries that were the most closed and backward before realized the changes of the times and the necessity of catching up with the changes of the times in that war. Afterwards, with the end of the war, the most important step for countries in post-war reconstruction was to give priority to establishing communication systems based on modern magic technology. Of course, considering the limitations of actual conditions, it is impossible to allow each country to achieve magic network coverage in a short period of time, but at least, all countries have achieved the highest authority of the country to "connect the grid" with other countries in the alliance.

Compared with the national communication network that requires a large number of basic engineering support, it is not impossible to pull a dedicated line from the capitals of various countries to connect the magic network backbone network of Cecil. Now, these "dedicated lines" that can connect the heads of the member states of the alliance are at their right time to play a role.

On the eve of nightfall, Gao Wen came to the large conference room on the top floor of the Supreme Government Affairs Hall. The conference room was quite wide. There was a huge circular conference table in the center. The furnishings of the tables and chairs were almost completely arranged according to the on-site seats of the Alliance Summit. At this moment, most of the seats were empty in front of them, but a magic network terminal in standby was placed on each seat.

Gao Wen stepped to his position. He looked at the file on the table. It was the solution of the Magic Tide Observation Device. Then he looked at the time displayed by the mechanical clock on the opposite wall, which was thirty seconds away from the agreed time.

He sat down on the chair. After a moment, the low buzzing sound and the slight cracking sound of the rune trigger automatically closing sounded everywhere. Around the empty ring conference table, one flashing projection after another suddenly appeared. The magical illusions were a little blurred at the beginning, but soon with the assistance of the additional computing power provided by the Empire Computing Center, these distant signals were strengthened and filtered, and clear figures emerged from the magical illusions.

Those were dozens of alliance leaders including Rosetta, Belsetia, Wenna Baizhi and others.

The entire empty conference room was "full" all of a sudden, some of which were the heads of state who participated in such a meeting for the first time. They looked around in surprise. Obviously, at the scene of "their side", similar holographic images formed an immersive venue. Although magical illusions are not uncommon for anyone in this world, relying on large equipment to achieve such "remote conferences" is still a novel experience for them.

For those participants who have used Magic Network terminals for remote meetings and have a good understanding of Magic Technology, their performance seemed quite calm. Several eyes fell on the leaders of the three empires one after another. After a simple greeting, Gao Wen first glanced at the dragon ambassador Melita Pernia, who was sitting on his left, and stood up to break the silence: "First of all, since the communication routes of Tallond have not been built, the participants in the Dragon Kingdom this time are still the plenipotentiary ambassador Miss Melita Pernia.

"Secondly, thank you for responding to this convening. Now that we have limited time, we will go directly to the topic. What we are going to discuss today is the plan to establish a magic tide observation device."

Some of the holographic projectors at the conference table exchanged views with each other. In fact, the information on this aspect had been sent to everyone's desks first. Therefore, the participants were not surprised by what they were going to discuss today. It was just that because the time was urgent, everyone did not have the opportunity to communicate privately, exchange opinions before the meeting like the methods they were used to, and even did not have enough time to negotiate with their consulting group. They seemed quite uncomfortable with this.

But whether they are used to it or not, the Magic Tide will not worry about the pace of mortals' actions to slow down. In the face of that cold and ruthless countdown, all old red tape and desktop rules must give in to efficiency.

"We have read the information you sent," said Rosetta Augustus. "From the information, if we want to build an observation device from scratch based entirely on existing technology, its success rate will be very low, and it will take a long time and huge manpower, and the resource cost?"

"Yes, and considering the size of the magic tide observation device and the existence of the 'countdown', we may not have any chance of trial and error," Gao Wen nodded. "So at this meeting, we must discuss a feasible draft that is recognized and supported by all countries, even if we make additional modifications to this draft in the future. At least this time we must set the direction and start preparing materials immediately."

Speaking of this, Gao Wen couldn't help but feel a little sad that he should be glad that the Alliance had just ended the wasteland battle as a winner. Although the war caused great damage to the Gondor border area, in a sense, it was also an incomparable drill. The countries of the Alliance knew how to operate as a whole in the war, and how to deal with a world-scale crisis. The project to build a "blocking wall" itself has accumulated valuable experience in creating world wonders.

The Magic Tide Observation Device is essentially a "world wonder" with a scale that is no less than a blocking wall, and is even more technically difficult. If there is no "forced training" in the Battle of Wasteland and a loose and immature alliance to face this crisis, the result will probably be quite unoptimistic.

"There are two plans now," Gao Wencai continued, after leaving some time for the participants to think and discuss, "The first is the traditional conservative plan that we construct step by step according to the existing technical data, first build the external ring belt of the observation device, and in this process, relying on our current energy technology to "stack" a vibrating focus. Based on the experience we accumulated when opening the gate of the Kingdom of God in the Contracting Fort, relying on the Magic Network Energy Station and Magic Extraction Tower to form a huge array, which just meets the ignition threshold of the vibrating focus.

"The implementation process of this solution is relatively controllable, and the required technologies are based on existing experience, but the disadvantages are obvious that these technologies almost barely meet the basic conditions for the operation of the Magic Tide Observation Device, and even only guarantee that the final completed system can be turned on for a short time. What we need is an observation system that can operate stably for a long time. Whether the things we create can be used will probably depend on luck.

"The second solution...you must have seen it too. It is very radical, but theoretically feasible.

"Based on the Deep Blue Well, use the huge magic source ready-made on this planet to drive the 'vibration focus'. Its advantages are obvious that the power of the Deep Blue Well is more than enough to drive the jitter focus. Once this solution is implemented, the entire system will at least be very stable from the perspective of energy supply, and the 'construction period' of the entire observation device will be greatly shortened, because we have saved most of the time to build the entire energy system...

"Of course, the disadvantages of this plan are also obvious, although its results are expected, the implementation process is huge and difficult to control. The existing scale of the deep blue well is not enough to meet expectations. We need more network cracks to extract magic. Even the former Gondor Empire only built an extraction station based on the existing magic cracks. The "manual opening of network cracks" is an unprecedented risk...

"In theory and in the historical records left by the Gondor era, there are indeed more network cracks for development around the Deep Blue Well. If we use the most advanced ‘supercritical accelerators’ of the Cecil Empire to bombard the ‘weak points’ at the intersection of these clefts and the material world, we can manually open a new inrush vent, which is equivalent to building a series of ‘sub-wells’ around the Deep Blue Well. In theory... this process is controllable."

Speaking of this, Gao Wen let out a light breath, solemnly put the documents in his hand on the table, and supported the tabletop with his hands and looked around the entire venue: "I'm done."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deep discussion sounded throughout the venue. Some of the participants suddenly turned to the seemingly empty direction, and whispered to a person who was invisible. Obviously, people like consultants and scholars were standing beside them. When it came to professional fields, they needed the opinions of these experts.

Gao Wen knew that both plans were a little bit "stimulating". Even if anyone with any idea, it would be difficult to decide at this time, so he did not interrupt.

A few minutes later, a voice came from across the round table, and King Odris of the Gaoling King said, "I want to know if the essence of the second solution is... bombing the Deep Blue Well? Although the document says 'Certainly Blasting'..."

"...This is a controllable bombing," Gao Wen had a stern face. He had long expected someone to react. After all, he had almost the same expression when he saw the plan proposed by Rebecca. "Just like using explosion magic to dig mountains and stones to dig mine caves, controllable and precise supercritical bombardment can also be used to "build" things, although it sounds a bit dangerous."

"But I think it doesn't just sound dangerous," King Odris's expression was very serious. His one-eyed eye was staring at the document in his hand, and then raised his head. "I am familiar with the set of rocks that use explosion magic to dig, so I know more clearly that even the rocks with less technical difficulty will inevitably lead to the accident of cliff collapse. What's more, we have to bombard the Deep Blue Well with the most powerful weapon ever at a very dangerous distance... From the description of the plan, once the "widening" of the Deep Blue Well is out of control, we have no way to remedy it."

Speaking of this, he shook his head: "I prefer the first one, at least the controllability during the implementation process."

"But the final result of the first plan is too unsatisfactory," as soon as Odris finished speaking, Wenna Baizhi's voice came from the side, "If we spend all our efforts and time to build an observation device that is completely useless, it would be better to do nothing or take some risks in the deep blue well..."

As soon as Wenna finished speaking, a different voice came from the round table: "The risk of plan No. 2 is still too great..."

"We need a more cautious and comprehensive assessment process, and it is best to conduct a more in-depth investigation of the Deep Blue Well..."

"Can this observation device really work? Is it too hasty to make decisions now?"

"We probably don't have that much time..."

The discussions in the venue were instantly ignited, and the kings, leaders, federal rulers and emperors who were good at weighing began to put forward their own opinions and opinions, but as the center of this place, Gao Wen did not say a word at this moment.

His eyes looked at Ophelia Norton, who was sitting near him.

Although "Veronica" is in Cecil City, in this formal occasion, Ophelia Matrix will still choose to attend the meeting in the attitude of "Ophelia Norton".
