297 Some coping
Is it going to take hundreds of years?
Hearing Brooklyn's words, the members of the board of directors quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If there were still hundreds of years, there was no need to worry. Ankenry had enough time to adapt to the change. However, the members of the board also knew Gastens very well. If it really took hundreds of years, he would not have called everyone here late at night.
"Yes, it does take hundreds of years to follow the convergence trend of this chart," Gastenth raised the long pole and pointed a turning point in the pattern on the wall. "But you can look at this turning point. From here, the magic stability trend of pyroxene begins to accelerate, and it increases at a slight rate every year. If you consider the acceleration change, it may be less than two hundred years for us."
"Boss, two hundred years is a long time, there is no need to call us over in the middle of the night, right? I thought you finally decided to fight, but I was still excited for a while."
Ivan Warren smiled and complained, and the badge on his shoulders shone with light. He was a soldier, military growth, and a firm warring faction among Ankenry's top leaders. Ivan's idea was the most intense for countries that were no longer enough to resist their attack.
"According to the general rule," Gastenth put down his long pole, "But do you know that this data was first used by the Six Mage Towers to detect the third great demon tide. But in the end, the third great demon tide suddenly came, and all kinds of monitoring and response were lost, which gave us the opportunity to revolution. So, why would the magic stability coefficient of pyroxene develop according to the trend shown in this chart? If, if one day suddenly becomes silent, what should we do?"
"Gastense," William Richardson, who is in charge of the national science and technology, interjected, "You have been telling us that scientific research should be objective and judged based on objective facts. The charts behind you now cannot support your argument. Although we will definitely believe you, can you have more convincing evidence? After all, what we are talking about is the possible end of this world."
"Comrade Richardson is right. There is really a day when it will be the end of the world prophesy of the Orn God Church." Prime Minister Binbo Bobluff's expression was a little serious. "Without the motivation and energy, we cannot cook, act, and be unable to illuminate, the whole world will fall into darkness. Any order, even our country, may fall into turmoil and danger. Boss, this is not a fun joke."
"I'm not kidding," Gastens sat down. "If you are interested in history, you will find that from the first great demon tide to the third great demon tide, the influence of magic on this world is gradually weakening. The world that could produce gods is difficult, after the second great demon tide, it is very difficult to produce a magician. But when it comes to the third great demon tide, no one in this world can control magic, only things like pyroxene are left, and we are still maintaining our world. What if the third great demon tide is not the last great demon tide? What if there is the fourth great demon tide?"
The fourth big demon tide?
The conference room became quiet again. The deliberative committee members were thinking, shocked, guessing, and imagining. Only Brooklyn made a sudden sound of enlightenment.
"oh!"
The sound was particularly noticeable in the quiet room, and everyone turned their eyes to Brooklyn, looking at her, waiting for her explanation.
"I get it!" Brooklyn was obviously excited, "What we have been detecting is not the third great demon tide, but the fourth great demon tide! We are right! We just missed the element of magic sensing! The first great demon tide destroys gods, the second great demon tide destroys free magic, the third great demon tide destroys magic sensing, that is, the magician, the fourth great demon tide destroys pyroxene! Pyroxene is the product of the precipitation of free magic and the crystallization of magic! Only by destroying pyroxene can we completely destroy magic!"
Brooklyn's tone became higher and higher, and her expression became particularly excited. She stood up and looked straight at Gastenth, "Why do you know this? Why do you have to destroy magic and magic? Is there really a more powerful true god in this world? Is their purpose to destroy this world?!"
With Brooklyn's questioning, everyone looked at Gastenth. The woman who had been immersed in magic all her life had an imaginative understanding of Gastenth's words. Her doubts and explanations also made everyone sitting feel a chill.
Are there really gods in this world who intend to destroy the world?
"I knew it was like that."
Gastenth muttered to himself with some annoyance, then looked up at all his companions, "There is no god, nor destruction. The end of magic is not the end, but the beginning. You don't understand this sentence now, but you will always understand it."
He looked at the pair of gazes in front of him. Those who followed him along the way were still full of trust when they looked at him, but there was a little more worry than before.
"If this is the case, how should we deal with it?"
Sinke Warren was the first committee member to come out of questioning himself. Like Ivan, he was the first person to make a revolution with Gastens, and he always believed Gastens unconditionally. Although he became a little alienated from Gastens after the forbidden spell magic, this did not affect his belief in Gastens.
"This is the purpose of my meeting today." Gastenth sat down and sighed softly in his heart. He knew that there was no evidence, but it was just based on his prestige to arrange work. Although it was feasible, there were hidden dangers. However, time was much more important than he expected, and there were a lot less space to operate.
"First, the end of the energy of pyroxene will inevitably lead to chaos. What we need to ensure is the stability of the state's regime. We need an army that can fight without pyroxene, an army that uses a big knife, a spear and a horse, and a cold weapon army."
Hearing Gastenth's words, Ivan suddenly thought of a task that Gastenth gave him shortly after the founding of the country.
Keep a cold weapon combat unit.
Did you know that there was such a future from that time on?
"Second, the end of pyroxene energy means that our existing communication method will be invalid and the effective ruling area of the country will shrink rapidly. Therefore, we must be mentally prepared to give up part of the remote land and maintain the stability of the core area. Here, the core area I am talking about refers to the area from the Elena Plain to Roswell, which is the essence of Ankenrien and a place of economic prosperity. It is necessary to continue to maintain the necessary rule."
Yima Newsletter!
Binbo Bobluff suddenly remembered the past few years, with the popularity of rail-type steam locomotives and rail-free small steam cars, someone once suggested completely abolishing the existing station communication system, but was rejected by Gastens. Did you know that there would be such a future from that time?
"Third, energy collapse will inevitably lead to social unrest. Sects such as the Ounn God Cult, which advocate the end of the world will inevitably be popular. We must prepare early and deal with it strictly. At the same time, make good food reserves in major areas and respond to emergencies."
It turns out that you knew it a long time ago.
Brooklyn sat in his position, looking at Gastenth talking, and was full of doubts. Who is this person? People like him think that the third great demon tide is over. Why and what is he relying on? He is so sure about the arrival of the fourth great demon tide and has even begun to prepare for measures to deal with it?
"Food, army, cadre teams that can be relied on, and communication. This is the most core part of what I think of. The rest, we will discuss it today, discuss it thoroughly, and then arrange it as quickly as possible. There is not much time left for us."
Gastenth's speech was shorter than expected, and after he finished, no one spoke in the conference room for a while. After a while, Ivan Warren raised his hand to speak.
"Boss, are you sure this will happen?"
"must."
Gastenth nodded and pointed to the chart behind him, "I can't tell you the reason, but I know it will happen. And the evidence is this picture. The energy of pyroxene will sooner or later be silent. The only question is when, that's it."
"Then, boss," Sink continued to ask, "Are you a great magician?"
The question raised by Sink Warren has been repeated countless times, but no one has ever been able to answer it. Now, facing such a news that may completely change Ankenry's future development ideas, Sink Warren can't help but want to know the answer. Like him, other members of the deliberate also looked at Gastens and looked forward to his answer.
"Sorry, I can't answer this question."
Brooklyn, who was sitting in her position, felt a sudden thump in her heart and suddenly realized something. In the past, Gastens had only one answer when anyone asked this question on any occasion.
I'm not.
And today, he said he could not answer.
This answer itself is enough to make people think a lot.
"Boss."
Ivan shouted, remained silent for a while, and asked again.
“How much time is left.”
"It's fast for half a year," Gastens did not hesitate, "It's slow for two to three years."
"Half a year is not enough!"
Binbo Bobluf subconsciously said, "Although our food reserves are surplus, we still have insufficient response to that situation. Although agriculture has been least affected by this matter, we still need more time. Moreover, medicinal materials, education, manpower, and information scope, all these things take time, we—"
"I can't decide on time."
Gastenth shrugged and interrupted Binbo Bobluff's speech in a rare way. "The only thing we can do is start preparing as early as possible."
