Based on Li Taisheng's understanding, the proposal discussions held for the first time today, as well as over the past few days, had made no substantive progress. Still, they had more or less established the direction for exploring the sinkhole.
At present, there were roughly three factions, or rather, three lines of thought:
The first was the Radar Faction. Yuan Wuwei had coined the name. It meant using every possible method—whether from outside the sinkhole or by sending detection equipment into it—to receive the energy signals radiating from the sinkhole. It was similar to their current routine monitoring work, perhaps with a few minor innovations. It was the most ordinary and conservative idea, but neither was it a bad one.
Basically, the experts and engineers sent from Huai City all held this view. To put it bluntly, they had the mentality of workers just muddling through their days. But that was also a normal working model. Professor Ding Zhiying, who advocated orderly research, supported this approach as well.
The second was the Civil Engineering Faction. That was also Yuan Wuwei's metaphor. This approach called for large-scale civil engineering work around the sinkhole in the Poison Swamp Zone, targeting its underground environment, including such things as engineering explosions.
The idea was this: even if they could not determine the nature of the time-space on the other side of the sinkhole, they could conduct operations along the edges of the Local Time-Space to determine the extent of its erosion into the Local Time-Space. If they could uncover any anomalous phenomena that contradicted common sense and further pinpoint their locations, that would be even better.
The Civil Engineering Faction's approach was relatively bold, mainly in terms of spending. Many in the military, especially the Earth standing army represented by Meng Tu, supported this
