Chapter 1460 That distant flash
The discussion on the two sets of plans in the venue gradually became fierce. When facing a problem that almost determines the life and death of the world, no one can make a rational and clear judgment in an instant. Even Gao Wen himself cannot do this, Rosetta cannot, and Belsetia cannot, and they can only put all the possibilities they think of on the conference table as much as possible, and then find ways to brainstorm a relatively less dangerous path from it.
What surprised Gao Wen was that as the discussion continued, the number of people supporting the second plan gradually exceeded the first plan. Although the danger of "operation" on the Deep Blue Well was obvious, leaders from various countries obviously hoped to build a truly usable magic tide observation device, rather than despairing after exhausting the alliance's manpower and material resources.
Of course, the discussions of leaders from various countries at the conference table are just the appearance here. In fact, what is facing this problem is the group of consultants and scholars standing next to each leader. Behind each speaker, there is a whole technical team analyzing the information about the magic tide observation device, weighing the risks of different solutions and the difficulty of implementation of each link. The voices speaking at the conference table refer to the opinions of technical experts.
It seems that it is indeed not easy to determine the "construction plan" based on this meeting alone, but Gao Wen still maintained his attitude from the beginning and knew that this tense and high-pressure atmosphere is needed here now.
He once again turned his attention to Ophelia Norton, who was silent.
"Perhaps, we should listen to the opinions of the city-state of Deep Blue Well," Belsetia suddenly broke the silence. The voice of the Silver Queen calmed the entire venue. "His Royal Ophelia is the actual controller of Deep Blue Well, and if we want to adopt a 'widening' project for Deep Blue Well, it will inevitably have a certain impact on her. What is your attitude towards the No. 2 plan?"
It was not until this time that many participants seemed to have finally noticed the leader of the Iron Man Corps who had completely restrained his presence since the beginning of the meeting. Many eyes fell on Ophelia, and the latter raised him slightly after a moment of silence: "I have been calculating since the beginning, simulating the implementation process of these two plans, I am afraid there is bad news."
As soon as the word "bad news" came out, Gao Wen could feel that the atmosphere in the venue had a subtle change in an instant. The atmosphere of the previous enthusiastic discussion was suddenly replaced by tension and anxiety. There is no doubt that this is definitely a word that no one wants to hear now.
But no matter how unwilling it, the facts are always cold and cannot change Ophelia's speech, conveying the bad answer to the ancient calculation matrix deduction: "According to the deduction of the Deep Blue Well computing array, the probability of success of the No. 2 scheme is actually much lower than the paper expectation, which is probably half the probability estimated in this technical document. There is a greater probability... The Deep Blue Well will enter a state of out-of-control because it cannot withstand too severe impact."
A burst of exclamations suddenly sounded in the venue, and before Gao Wen could speak, Rebecca, who was standing behind him as a technical consultant, couldn't help but exclaim: "How could this happen? I have clearly put all the conditions..."
"The original data has changed, and the technical parameters left by the Gondor era are no longer available," Ophelia's eyes fell on Rebecca. "In the final stage of the Battle of Talash Plains, the 'drawing' of the 'drawing' of the network channels around the Deep Blue Well destroyed the balance of energy veins. It will take at least two centuries for the affected network channels to recover."
Rebecca's eyes widened, huge frustration and disappointment appeared on her face, and at the conference table, the expressions on each face immediately became ugly. Dragon Ambassador Melita Pernia couldn't help knocking on the table, and an angry voice came into Gauven's ears: "That group of damn cultists...that damn sentinel..."
Gao Wen's face was also very bad. Although he knew from the beginning that the disaster that sentries and all things would eventually die in the wasteland would not be simply eliminated with the death of the creeping disaster, and its subsequent impact might affect the world in a more profound and indirect way for many years, he did not expect that this impact would hit everyone in this form!
The Crazy Disaster's crazy absorption of the Deep Blue Well before his death... destroyed one of the hopes of building a demon tide observation device.
"Then we have only one solution," Rosetta Augustus's low voice came, "to use the power of the whole world to build energy that can drive the focus, and use our existing technology to build a magic tide observation device..."
"The probability of success of this plan is about one-twelve," Ophelia's voice was so cold that she was almost emotionally unsound. "In addition, if the magic power is drawn and all sent to the 'starting focus' without destroying the existing structure of the Deep Blue Well, the probability of success of the plan can be increased to about one-quarter, but even if the probability of success is doubled, I still do not recommend taking this path."
Gowan looked into the last Gondor royal family's eyes: "Why?"
"The cost of building a 'revitalizing focus' with existing technology is too high. Even if we barely complete this project, the alliance's own economic system will be dragged to collapse. Even if we reach that point, we have only completed an observation device. There is no hope for the subsequent protection of the magic wave," Ophelia analyzed calmly, "This is meaningless to the existence of our civilization."
A low and depressing atmosphere enveloped the venue as Ophelia finished speaking. The figures at the round table were talking in a low voice, or turned around to communicate with the consultants behind them to discuss. Some people showed a look of near despair on their faces, and some were silent in their seats. In the depression, Gao Wen slowly spoke: "So, we must find a cost-acceptable solution to solve the problem of rising focus. If the Deep Blue Well does not work, we must find its substitute..."
"Can Anta Vien's reactor be used?" Melita said suddenly, looking at Tyre, the ambassador sitting not far away, representing the Deep Sea Kingdom, "I remember it is called the Core Fusion Tower, right? The main reactor of an interstellar spacecraft should provide very powerful energy, as long as it can reignite..."
"The current maximum power of the core fusion tower can only reach about 50%, and it cannot operate stably for a long time. This is the best result," Tyre shook his head without waiting for Melita to finish his words. "We don't mind taking out Anta Vienne's energy to help everyone get through the difficulties, but only if it has to be useful."
Another light of hope that had just emerged was instantly extinguished, and the low atmosphere in the venue became more obvious than before. In such a depressing atmosphere, people's mentality inevitably changed.
Gao Wen heard a voice suddenly coming from a distance: "After all,... we gathered here to discuss the construction of the Demon Tide Observation Device. Is this really meaningful?"
Gao Wen raised his head and looked in the sound. He saw the leader of the Northern City-State Consortium standing up with his forehand, with a serious and dark look on his face, and his brows frowned: "Should we stop and think about this whole thing carefully... We have overcome the creeping disaster in the wasteland, we have regained the world's security from the uncontrolled ancient mechanical hands, we have solved the wasteland disaster that threatened the world for seven hundred years, and the era of prosperity and stability is approaching. Why is it suddenly like we have returned to the imminent "starting point" of the doomsday?"
"Escape from facts is useless," the king of Seward's kingdom shook his head. "Of course we all hope that after the war, we will usher in a peaceful and peaceful prosperity, but reality is unsatisfactory, the warning of Neuer people..."
"The key to the problem is here, the warning of the Neuyi people," the leader of the Northern City-State Communities shook his head, "I am not afraid of any challenges, nor will I escape the facts. I was on the front line when the decisive battle of Tarash. I can go to the wasteland to fight to the death for the survival of the people, but the warning of the Neuyi people... So far, all we get from those "alien people", isn't it?
"We don't know them, we don't know the distant planet that even light has to walk for several years to reach. We can even talk to the alien group every ten days. In this case, we are in such a panic because of a series of information sent by the other party. A few greetings, some historical records, and the original parameters sent back by an "observer" that no one can confirm, made us believe that the end of the world will be the end of the world after a year and a half. Ladies and gentlemen, don't you think this is a bit... unreal?
"What if this is a lie? What if this is just an alarmist 'doomsday theory'? Or take a step back, what if the Noyors themselves make mistakes? Besides, even if all this is true... Even if the doomsday is really approaching, sometimes we have to admit that we are powerless..."
"However, we have deduced the original parameters they sent, and all the data are correct," Wenna Baizhi couldn't help but say. She was petite and often lacked enough presence when speaking at the conference table. Therefore, she simply stood on the chair and made her height level with the leader opposite. "And the spirit witches also found that the data sent back by the Neui people before losing contact was related to some of the readings recorded underground in the Deep Blue Well, which is impossible to be a complete coincidence."
"Observer...the Neuer's 'observer' is also a suspicious enough thing," the figure across the table shook his head, "Starting a god four light years away from the planet as an 'eye'? Do you think this is possible?"
His doubts seemed to be based on no basis, but it is undeniable that what the leader said hit the emotional table in many people's hearts at the meeting table. They echoed and agreed with this doubt began to grow.
But at this point the meeting was not what Gao Wen wanted to see.
He shook his head, had to cough twice and interrupt the noise in the venue, then stood up and prepared to speak. However, just as he was about to speak, he saw the figures of two leaders next to the conference table suddenly flashed aside and left the holographic projection picture as if someone suddenly called them away.
Immediately afterwards, several leaders seemed to hear the sound coming from beside them. They turned around and talked to someone for a few words, then stood up quickly, saying sorry, and walking quickly to the side.
Gao Wen was a little surprised. Just as he was about to ask what was going on, he noticed that there seemed to be a flash of light in the night outside the window from the corner of his eyes. Rebecca, who was standing behind him, ran to the window at the first time, and then exclaimed in a burst of voice: "Sir, Ancestor! Look at that! It's bright in the sky!"
"Sorry, I'll lose my companion first." Gao Wen said quickly, got up and came to the window. The next second, he saw the flash of night in the direction of Rebecca's finger.
Under the dark and vast sky, in the northwest sky, an abnormal light spreads in the night sky. It looked like a particularly shining star, and there were many subtle lights spreading out on its edge gradually dissipating in the darkness. Its flash was brilliant but short. After several consecutive flashes, the spot gradually turned into some dim phantoms and slowly disappeared among the stars.
"What is that..." Rebecca muttered to himself in shock, "What kind of atmospheric vision is it? The deep blue network projected into the material world again?"
"I don't know, but the visual range of this vision must be very wide," Gao Wen muttered. He thought of the participants who were suddenly attracted by something at the conference table and temporarily left the seat. He had already reacted in his heart, "I'm afraid... the entire Loren Continent saw that thing..."
After a while, he quickly returned to the conference table, and one after another, other figures also returned to the display range of the holographic projection. The participants who had left the seat and returned briefly had a look of surprise and confusion on their faces. After noticing the performance of others, they gradually reacted and whispered to the people around them: "You also see it? A twinkling star? You can also see it at the extreme southern end of the mainland?! The Holy Helmet City can be seen very clearly here..."
Gao Wen frowned. He didn't know what that thing was, but he was in this position and knew what he should say at this time to ensure the order of the venue. So he cleared his throat, and the moment he was about to speak, a familiar aura suddenly appeared beside him.
He heard Amber's voice ringing in his ears, and after hearing the other party's whisper, a look of astonishment instantly appeared on his face.
Even Gao Wen couldn't control the changes in his expression for a moment.
And this subtle change attracted the attention of those who were interested, and Belsetia's voice soon rang out in the venue: "Your Majesty Gao Wen, we all seemed to have seen similar visions appearing in the sky just now. Do you know what that is?"
Gao Wen's face was as deep as water. After a brief two seconds of silence and consideration, he finally raised his head and swept through every face in his vision with a majestic gaze.
"That was the flash of the Neuert observer's spacecraft disintegrated twenty-two days ago."
A needle can be heard from the venue.
"This news..." a participant spoke subconsciously.
"The Council of God's Powers has captured a divine power shock that does not belong to our planet," Gao Wen nodded slightly without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, "The news is reliable."
In the silence that followed, Wenna Baizhi climbed onto her chair again and she seemed to have an extra small stool on the chair, which made her stand very high for a while.
"Gentlemen, ladies," she looked around the people who were already sitting around the table, "can we go back to the conference table, right?"
"If so, then there is another proposal for the Augure Tribe State.
Chapter completed!
