In April, Luyuan, another spring.

Sink Warren, head of intelligence in Elena, walked through the empty square and walked into a small building of the Ankenrien State Council. Here, two years ago, Gastens told them that future, that terrible future. Two years later, their world still operates normally as usual. Ankenrien has become the most powerful country in the world, and advanced steam technology has given it unparalleled vitality. The Republic of Negro, the Third Republic of Vern, the Arronte Empire, and even the West Sea country Loren Robus, handed over their market to Elena Steam Power, which represents the most advanced production level in the world.

"Chief!"

Standing at the door, the sentry guarding stood at the sight and saluted. Sink nodded slightly and passed by him. He was very familiar with every tree and grass here, and found the meeting room they used most frequently.

Pushing the door, familiar faces looked at Sink and smiled softly. Chairman Gastenth Warren sat at the long table, with a simple small device in front of him, a coil and two metal-like items, and a bubble blown from glass, which seemed to contain something tiny. Sink took his eyes away from the small device, looked around, and found that he was confused, so he knew that his news was not behind. He pulled the stool, sat down, looked down at Brooklyn, and said nothing.

Since the meeting two years ago, Sink Warren has arranged a large number of people to stare at Brooklyn with the highest alert measures. After all, this mage tower supervisor, who represents the old forces, has no reason to hand over his loyalty to Elena or Gastens. If she betrayed or leaked the secret, no one would be surprised. Sink Warren and Gastens are both ready to kill her, but to everyone's surprise, the former mage tower supervisor seemed happy to be in this state, and she turned herself into a pure scholar, staying in the mage tower every day, studying the only proposition.

How long does pyroxene have?

"Chairman Gastenth, it has been two years since the energy stability of pyroxene has accelerated, but according to the current acceleration, it will take nearly a hundred years to reach energy precipitation. Do you have any ideas for calling me from the Mage Tower to attend such a high-level meeting?"

Although Brooklyn didn't say it clearly, everyone could hear her a little impatient. Maybe she was so experiencing life and death that she was open to herself, maybe she was sure that Gastens would not mind her offense, and Brooklyn's speech was not very polite.

"Everyone should know that once we call Brooklyn in a meeting, there is only that thing to talk about." Gastens did not directly answer Brooklyn's question, "But luckily, we are not yet at the last step, and there is still some time to waste for us."

As Gastens said, he pointed to the small device in front of him, "I call this thing an induction generator, and this transparent light bulb, I believe you are all familiar with it. There are similar devices in the pyroxene lighting system."

The members of the meeting looked at the small equipment in front of Gastens and were a little curious. They already knew very well about their chairman. In addition to handling government affairs, Gastens's biggest hobby was research and manufacturing. He designed the Chaoyang series, the Morning Light series, the Sun series steam engine, the Thunder series, the Luoshan series steam weapons, and the giant beast tank that determined the king status of Ankenryin, including the giant beast type II that is now being installed. These equipment, weapons, and machines are all from one person. It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no such inventions of Gastens, Ankenryin would definitely not be like this now.

"Induction generator", Gastens emphasized the accent on the word "electricity". This word does not exist in Ruiyin. This is a new word he extracted from the word "lightning". The committee members here are very unfamiliar with it. "It cannot be used yet, but once it can be used, it means the end of the pyroxene era and the arrival of the fourth great demon tide. Do you understand?"

"So, is this a device to detect the fourth big magic wave?" Brooklyn frowned. "We now have a device to detect the energy stability of pyroxene. Do we need to do this more?"

"This is not just a device that detects the stability of pyroxene, this is..." Gastens considered it, "This is the device that replaces pyroxene after the fourth great tide, and this is a device that can change the world again."

"electricity?"

Ivan Warren repeated the word Gastenth used, “Like Pyroxene?”

"It's not quite the same," Gastens shook his head, "It doesn't exist yet. When it exists, you will naturally know what to do. I will properly place the relevant materials and technologies, and the Eilena Academy of Sciences will also have my backup, so that we can ensure that we can immediately gain new technological advantages after the fourth great tide."

Although they didn't understand what "electricity" was mentioned by Gastens, the members present were already accustomed to Gastens's inhuman performance in technology. They nodded frequently and quickly accepted Gastens's suggestions, re-sorted the emergency plan after the Fourth Great Demon Tide, and added this new equipment.

Because there was no big disagreement and the relevant emergency plan had been prepared, so the meeting was not held for too long. After the meeting, Brooklyn found Ivan and wanted to talk to him about something. Ivan was a little curious. Brooklyn was a representative of the old forces in the old society and the better people among those people, while he himself was a representative of the new society and new forces. The two of them had been unfamiliar with each other for a while. Ivan didn't know why Brooklyn found him. However, he didn't mind listening to what Brooklyn wanted to say.

"Commander Ivan", the place where I talked was in another small building in the Government Department. The place Ivan found was quiet and reliable. "You and Sinke Warren followed the Chairman to conquer the world from the beginning. Over the past long period of time, do you have any judgment on the identity of the Chairman?"

"Are you talking about him being a great wizard?"

When I heard Brooklyn want to talk about this, Evan suddenly lost interest. "We still don't know if he is, but we have always chosen to believe in the boss. He said he is not, he is not, it's that simple."

Brooklyn glanced at Ivan and knew that this was not Ivan's truth. Even Gastens's most loyal subordinate, people like Ivan and Sink, must have their own judgment on Gastens, rather than simply following the crowd. However, she did not want to be entangled in this detail for a long time, but went directly to her own topic.

"About the preparations made by the country for the fourth great demon wave in the past two years, we all know that the investment and the resources used are also very huge, and to a certain extent, it has slowed down our pace of expansion outward to a certain extent. The views on the fourth great demon wave, including what he proposed today, this information, this knowledge, and such a firm belief in this, even a great demon, cannot have it. I think I have a growing feeling recently that the Chairman seems to be able to see the future."

Brooklyn's words were not loud, but Ivan stopped in his ears and resonated with him. He had thought about these things and contents, nor had he discussed them with Sink, but neither of them could find the answer to this question, so naturally they could not answer Brooklyn.

"Is the boss so important? If he is, isn't it good for us?"

Although there was no answer, this did not affect Evan's answer to Brooklyn's question. Brooklyn already knew Evan's answer when she heard this. She stood up and smiled.

"I understand. Since you have such a good relationship with the Chairman, have you never thought about asking him in person?"

After saying that, Brooklyn turned around and said goodbye without giving Ivan the time to answer. Ivan watched her leave, chewing on her words, and said no longer.

——————————

"You ask me if I'm a prophet?"

Walking on the stone brick road by the lake, Gastens heard Ivan's question and chuckled, "Am I a prophet? Is it that important?"

"important."

Ivan nodded, "It's not important. Anyway, we are already the most powerful country in the world. Our national life happiness index is much better than that of capitalist countries. Communism is already defeating capitalism, and we are about to win. You are a prophet, we are happy, you are not, we are just as happy."

"It's good that you can see this way," Gastens answered briefly, and then went silent. The two walked along the lakeside in spring, with green grass and green waters.

"There has never been love for no reason in this world, nor is there the power to get it for nothing. We are all communism, so we naturally know the truth that labor can get something."

Gastens's voice began to become low, "I'm not a magistrate, nor a prophet, I just happened to know more than you. I'm just an ordinary person, and ordinary people will always die. Ivan Warren, have you ever thought about it, what should you do if one day I suddenly die and disappear?"

Ivan stopped. He didn't expect Gastens to shift the topic to this issue. There has been debate in China and attention from the international community. However, due to Gastens's age and his suspected identity as a great magistrate, this issue has not yet entered the list of problems that need to be solved very urgently.

"Boss, are you kidding? You are so young, you can work for at least dozens or hundreds of years, right?"

Ivan was haha, but his tone was filled with guilt. After following Gastens for so long, he had known Gastens' temper for a long time. His boss was definitely not joking about the words just now.

"I'm not kidding," Gastens turned his head, stood still, and looked at Ivan.

"Call everyone on the council, let's have a short meeting."

"Now?"

Ivan's voice trembled. Things shouldn't be what he imagined?

"Yes," Gastens nodded, "It's now."

————————————

"There is something I suddenly want to decide when I gather everyone so late." Standing in front of the old faces, Gastens was a little hesitant, "I have to do this. Actually, I have been thinking about it for a long time, but I haven't found a suitable opportunity. Now that I've happened, I'll make up to avoid everyone thinking too much."

Sinke turned his head and looked at Ivan with confusion in his eyes. He saw something from Ivan's expression. Ivan probably knew what Gastens wanted to say. And the other committee members were not that sensitive. Gastens was a workaholic, and it was not rare to hold meetings at night. Everyone was already accustomed to this kind of work style, just waiting quietly for the Chairman to put on the table.

"Today, we want to determine the next president of the Republic, who will succeed me, manage this country and lead everyone forward after I die or die unexpectedly or disappear."

Gastens's voice was not loud, but the entire conference room was as quiet as an empty house without even breathing. Almost all the committee members were a little surprised. Gastens's age was even less than thirty years old and the international environment was so favorable. He didn't hear anything wrong with his body, so why did he suddenly mention this?

"I can't explain the reason for this matter, but I hope everyone can decide on this matter. After all, you need a backup plan for anything, right?"

The conference room was still quiet, no one wanted to speak, and no one knew how to speak. Gastens coughed twice and headed straight to the point.

"If there is no other special reason, I hope Sink can take over my position as chairman, I hope Ivan can continue to be his commander, I hope you can-"

"Boss!"

Sink stood up and interrupted Gastenth in an extremely rare manner, "I won't do it!"

Gastens was not too shocked by Sink's answer. He looked at Sink and waited for his explanation.

"Now is not the time to mention this matter, and there is no need for you to determine it so early! And I don't think I have sufficient ability to manage a country!"

"I have the final say about the timing, the ability is the matter-"

Gastens frowned and thought for a few seconds, "You can do it for a few years first, if not, then change it."

"Boss!"

Sink wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Gastens again, "Don't make me embarrassed!"

Sinke was silent. He stood for a while, looked around and sat down gently. There was confusion and expectation in his eyes.

"That's what happened. Next, we need to determine some specific procedures and processes. I hope everyone can work together to finalize this matter."

The members of the meeting looked at each other and then entered the working state. Since this was Gastens's wish, they had no choice but to do so.
Chapter completed!
