While the survivors of Helu City were immersed in the celebration of victory, far away from Qianli, deep underground in Dragon Abyss Supreme Command Center, an emergency high-level meeting due to the huge success of "Dawn Operation" was being held in a relatively relaxed atmosphere.
In the conference room, the lights were bright, and the huge electronic screen wall displayed Strategic Map around Helu City and the summary of the frontline battle report just received.
The participants were all core leaders of various departments. Although everyone looked a little tired, their eyes shone with uncontrollable excitement.
Li Zhenguo, who presided over the meeting, spoke first, with obvious excitement in his voice.
"Comrades, first of all, I would like to report some good news. Not long ago, 'Dawn Project' achieved a complete success!"
"Our army took the initiative for the first time and successfully destroyed Helu City No. 3 micro Abyss Beast Nest'Nightmare Pupil', annihilated a large number of Abyss Beast, and the casualties were controlled within the expected range. At present, the troops have returned to the settlement safely."
Although the news of the victory had already been sent back via secret telegram, at this moment it was officially announced by Li Zhenguo, and there was still a sound of gratified admiration in the venue.
Several leaders applauded softly in unison, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
"Okay, well done!" A leader in charge of industrial production couldn't help but sigh, "In the future, if we can regain a few more industrial areas and mining areas, our pressure on the supply of basic materials will be relieved a lot."
The old man who was in charge of the propaganda had a complex expression on his face at the moment, showing joy, but also some emotion and shame.
He pushed up his glasses, coughed, and said, "This is a milestone victory, of great significance. It proves that Abyss Beast is not invincible, and Nest can also be destroyed.
He paused and said, "I suggest that this good news should be immediately broadcast to all settlements across the country. We should clearly tell them that we not only defended it, we also fought it out! We have successfully recaptured Luming District in Helu City, firing the first shot of mankind's counterattack."
"I agree."
Another leader immediately echoed, "Now is the time that requires confidence, and this victory comes at the right time."
At this time, the leader in charge of foreign affairs held up the microphone and added, "I think this news should not only be broadcast domestically, but also be broadcast globally."
All eyes were on him.
He continued to analyze calmly, "As mentioned in the last meeting, release key information together to create an amplification effect."
"During the power-on, we not only destroyed the first Abyss Beast Nest, we can also mention that we have the first strong 'Stardust Rank' and have complete video data of his personal participation in the Nest annihilation battle.
"We welcome interested parties from all over the world to come and communicate, observe, and even make copies."
"Of course."
He paused slightly, and his tone was calm but with some confidence. "How they came and whether they have the ability to cross dangerous situations and come to us is another matter."
"I think that at least some of the neighboring countries might be able to find a way and take some time to come here. After all, they also have traditions."
This is tantamount to a conspiracy that both flexes muscles and throws out bait.
This proposal was immediately approved by the majority of people.
At a time when the world is plunged into darkness, being the first to light a torch and shine a light has unparalleled strategic significance.
Li Zhenguo nodded. "Very good. The propaganda and foreign affairs departments will immediately draft a message. The content must be accurate and generous, and it will be sent out as soon as possible after deliberation."
A consensus was quickly reached on the first topic.
Then, the meeting entered the second and more core topic.
The representative of the General Staff Department picked up an encrypted briefing he had just received and spoke solemnly:
"According to the urgent report sent back by comrade Nie Chang from the front line, they found information about a device called 'Vortex' Type I Deep Space Source Energy Condenser in the Seven-Colored Crystal they obtained after destroying Nest."
He briefly introduced the function of the device - to extract Source Energy from deep space and create a high-concentration Source Energy area on the surface.
"Based on Major Lin Yi's analysis, combined with the low efficiency of the 'Source Sea' I-type Source Energy Crystal body manufacturing machine we previously obtained, we can basically conclude that Major Lin's assertion is true."
"The natural source energy environment of our Blue Star is extremely barren. This is the fundamental reason why our cultivation is difficult and the efficiency of our manufacturing machines is low."
"And the 'Vortex' Type I Deep Space Source Energy Condenser is the key to solving this core dilemma."
When the news was announced, there was a brief commotion and murmurs in the venue.
Everyone present could clearly understand what this device meant.
"Comrade Nie Chang is returning at full speed with the crystal and is expected to arrive as soon as tonight." Representative General Staff added.
Li Zhenguo glanced at the crowd and asked in a deep voice, "Academy of Sciences, Equipment Department, Logistics Department, tell us your opinions. What are your preliminary opinions on how to deal with this Deep Space Source Energy Condenser?"
The leader of the Equipment Department spoke first, with an urgent tone. "I suggest that you immediately find a suitable location to set it up and put it into use as soon as possible. It is best to choose a location that can efficiently utilize the entire instrument coverage area."
The person in charge of the Logistics Department is relatively cautious. "The erection is inevitable, but the site selection must be absolutely safe and far away from the territory of Nest, and the installation of the supporting 'Source Sea' equipment and the subsequent possible expansion of production needs to be taken into consideration. This will be the core of our core and must not be lost."
At this time, the person in charge of Academy of Sciences put forward different opinions.
"Dear leaders, I think that 'Vortex' does not necessarily need to be linked to 'Source Sea'. From a scientific research perspective, I think the significance of this device goes far beyond energy production."
He organized the language and explained with a metaphor, "According to our research on <Source Energy Basic Guidance Technique>, it is essentially a science that guides the human body to perceive, absorb, and transform the external world Source Energy."
"However, it seems now that if the external environment itself is almost 'waterless', then it will undoubtedly be hellish for a person to learn to 'swim' based on textual descriptions."
He glanced at everyone and emphasized his tone. "But if we can create an environment with abundant water sources, let our soldiers and our researchers be 'soaked' in high concentrations of Source Energy. They can personally feel and experience the flow of Source Energy at all times, and absorb Source Energy every time they breathe."
"Then, if they understand Guidance Technique, successfully get started, and even quickly improve their efficiency, I think they will get unimaginable improvements! This solves the problem of running water at the source."
This metaphor is easy to understand, yet extremely profound.
The venue suddenly became quiet, and everyone nodded in agreement.
Indeed, if the object of perception is extremely weak, no matter how good the technique is, it will achieve half the result with half the effort.
The representative of General Staff took over the conversation and made a suggestion.
"We General Staff believe that in view of the current severe situation, we urgently need to cultivate more and stronger Source Energy awakeners, especially more high-end combat power like Major Lin Yi."
"Is it possible to consider setting up a special high-level talent training camp with this 'Vortex' Type I as the core?"
"From the entire army and even the country, select a group of talented, fast-progressing, loyal and reliable seedlings, pool the best resources, create the best environment, conduct short-term training, and accelerate their Source Energy entry speed?"
This proposal immediately aroused everyone's interest.
Concentrating superior resources to create the sharpest among sharp knives is undoubtedly an effective way to deal with more severe challenges in the future.
Li Zhenguo pondered for a moment and nodded, "The idea of setting up a training camp is very constructive. However..."
He changed the topic, "Source Energy practice is still a new field for us. We still need more professional advice on how to operate it, selection standards, training methods, resource allocation, etc."
He looked at the communications officer. "Connect Helu City's communication immediately. I want to speak directly to Major Lin Yi to hear his opinion on this matter. He is currently the person who understands Source Energy the most among us, and his opinion is crucial."
"Yes!"
While waiting for the communication to be connected, Li Zhenguo seemed to remember something, looked at the representative of General Staff, and asked:
"This time, Major Dawn Operation, Lin Yi first selflessly handed over 'Shadow Print Device', and then played a decisive role in the battle, taking the greatest credit. How do you, General Staff, consider his reward?"
This question made the attention in the venue focus again.
How to reward a hero who is far more powerful than ordinary people, has made great contributions, and possesses core knowledge is a new topic that needs to be carefully weighed under the new situation.
After a round of review, there will be an additional update at 10pm.
