All eyes were on Zhang Tianyuan, focusing on the differences between him and Hermann.
For example, Hermann's image as a mad scientist who seems incapable of taking care of himself, and Zhang Tianyuan's appearance that seems "ordinary".
They're from completely different art styles.
Hermann gestured wildly, always prone to losing control of his body. "Mr. Zhang, you also studied wormhole physics?"
Zhang Tianyuan wiped his sweat and shook his head, saying, "I don't know much about wormholes; I've just had a lot of contact with them."
Is that a wormhole monitor?
Just like Tendo Choi, who also does this job?
While everyone was still wondering what was going on, Zhang Tianyuan had already moved on from that topic and steered the conversation back to wormholes themselves. "Actually, wormholes often have some kind of access control mechanism."
You can think of it as an access card; you need a corresponding pass to pass through this wormhole, this portal to time and space.
When Zhang Tianyuan said this, he realized that the wormhole on the Precursors's side was quite similar to his Spacetime Tunnel.
However, his Spacetime Tunnel requires residents to use it, while the Precursors's wormhole is more primitive.
"I estimate that the access card to the monster wormhole is the monster itself, meaning that only monsters or alien creations can pass through the wormhole."
"According to your current plan, the mechs and nuclear missiles will just be kept out of the wormhole, just like before."
The group exchanged bewildered glances, while those who were confused, such as Mako Mori and Newton, looked at Hermann.
Even Newton believed that Hermann was the most knowledgeable about wormholes, although he felt that none of that research could compare to his own monster bioengineering.
Hermann excitedly muttered, "It's possible, it's definitely possible, but... but what technology does the monster use to achieve this function?"
Nobody knows the answer; the monster just happens to have that technology.
"In short, for the plan to go smoothly, you should bring at least one monster, or a monster's corpse, when you enter the wormhole."
After saying that, Zhang Tianyuan looked directly at Old Pan.
Unlike Hermann, who was meticulous and insisted on understanding the reasons behind things, he nodded directly. "We will re-examine the entire plan based on this suggestion."
"But do wormholes have any other requirements for the monster's corpse? Time of death? Size? Weight?"
Zhang Tianyuan could only shrug slightly at this. "Ideally, it should be alive or have just died, before it gets cold."
In the movie, the Gipsy gave the monster a heartwarming hug just before entering the wormhole, and then successfully entered the wormhole by relying on the monster, which was either dead or not quite dead yet.
Therefore, this is the safest piece of information he can deduce.
No one could be sure whether the monster, which had been dead for a long time, would work.
Although he could only say this much, this information had saved the entire plan, and Old Pan immediately stood up to express his gratitude.
Zhang Tianyuan told him to sit down, indicating that it was nothing serious, before continuing:
"Actually, the Plan to Nuke the Wormhole doesn't necessarily have to stop at destroying the wormhole. If you can get the mechs through the wormhole to the other side, then I can use reverse location tracking on Monster Planet."
"Reverse positioning?"
This word is not well understood by most people.
But some people
I understood it immediately.
Ning Jihua had been listening silently, suddenly looked up. "You mean, we can use President Zhang's wormhole technology to open a wormhole on the monster's side?!"
Old Pan and Tendo Choi also stared excitedly over.
Zhang Tianyuan said, "That's right, you'll be the ones taking the initiative in the attack then."
Old Pan's breathing suddenly became rapid.
Mako Mori and the others only understood the meaning of Zhang Tianyuan's words through a translator.
But I still have doubts.
Opening a wormhole...
What does it mean?
They have wormhole technology now?
Without giving anyone room to think or ask questions, Zhang Tianyuan continued, "However, after the wormhole opens, we will need to use it for a period of time."
Ning Jihua cast a questioning look at him.
"Since we currently have nearly ten thousand nuclear warheads that need to be neutralized, I think the other side of the wormhole should be a good place..."
"..."
Those who understood this sentence immediately were all dumbfounded.
Even Ning Jihua was no exception.
He rubbed his forehead, his mind churning with turmoil.
Nearly 10,000 nuclear warheads.
What does this mean?
Did they move the entire Earth's nuclear arsenal here?
Ning Jihua, who didn't know much about the Mutual Aid Society, was unaware that he had guessed correctly without realizing it.
Zhang Tianyuan and his group did indeed possess an entire Earth's nuclear arsenal.
However, that was the nuclear weapons stockpile of the Legend Spacetime.
The Mutual Aid Society is worried about not having a place to clean up.
Nearly ten thousand nuclear warheads cannot simply be dismantled on the spot.
Moreover, even if it were to be dismantled, there wouldn't be enough professional personnel to do it.
Zhang Tianyuan and his team had initially planned to guard it and then dismantle it gradually, but now it seems that detonating it directly on the monster planet would be more convenient.
They've been sending monsters to Earth for over a decade, and the Mutual Aid Society has also sent ten thousand nuclear bombs to their planet.
This is called reciprocity, friendly exchange, and social etiquette.
The Precursors must have felt very touched when they received this little gift.
They will definitely love this gift.
Ning Jihua was astonished, not to mention the others; Old Pan and the others were now terrified.
People like Mako Mori, who didn't receive the Mutual Aid Society's message in the rush, wondered if they were hallucinating.
Nearly 10,000 nuclear warheads?
Is this a joke?
However, judging from the expressions of the other people in charge at the scene, they were serious, meticulous, and even cautious...
Who exactly are they having a meeting with?!
This young, high-achieving woman felt like her brain was about to burn out from overthinking.
Ning Jihua naturally had no objection to Zhang Tianyuan's suggestion or request.
This actually saved them the trouble of building more nuclear bombs.
Seeing their jubilant expressions, Zhang Tianyuan promptly poured cold water on their enthusiasm. "However, I must remind you, there should be a large amount of radioactive material on Monster Planet, which can reach lethal levels in a very short time..."
The male protagonist in the first movie died of cancer caused by radiation. The more heartwarming the ending of the movie was, the more desperate his death became.
Old Pan nodded, indicating that he understood.
Ning Jihua suddenly said, "General Pentecost, President Zhang and I agreed in yesterday's conversation that the Plan to Nuke the Wormhole must be firmly carried out, so I have decided to provide you with more financial support..."
He reiterated his firm support for the Plan to Nuke the Wormhole.
An additional 1 billion dollars was allocated to repair the Gipsy Danger.
Then, the discussion about the Plan to Nuke the Wormhole finally came to an end.
Old Pan left the conference room with his subordinates.
"General, is what they said inside just now true? Is it what we think?"
Only then did the Wei Brothers and Mako Mori and others speak.
"Ten thousand nuclear warheads? Is that guy joking? I didn't realize he was crazy when I talked to him yesterday..."
Newton was acting like he was having a manic episode, pacing around in circles outside the crowd.
Hermann held up one finger. "And there's the matter of using reverse positioning to open wormholes."
Facing everyone's gaze, Old Pan sighed, pulled up his suit collar, and said, "If anyone else had said this, I wouldn't have believed it, but he's someone you would never imagine."
"Come with me. I'll show you some surveillance footage, and then I need to find Raleigh to give him some preliminary training, to see if he still remembers what it feels like to pilot a Jaeger."
Old Pan waved to the crowd and led them back to his office.
Here, he showed footage taken yesterday when Zhang Tianyuan and the others left, adding, "This happened last night, a small, man-made wormhole, supposedly leading to a parallel universe..."
"Incredible!" Looking at the black portal on the screen, Hermann, as if he had seen his dream lover, hurriedly put on his glasses and rushed over.
The others looked utterly astonished.
"Mr. Zhang leads an organization called the Parallel Spacetime Mutual Aid Society, which possesses wormhole technology far superior to that of the monsters."
" The Scunner that invaded yesterday were transported to outer space in the South Pacific Ocean by Mr. Zhang's wormhole, where they crashed onto the sea and died..."
"Did this happen yesterday? Why didn't I know?" Hermann pushed up his glasses and suddenly turned around, looking just like a squirrel.
"You idiot, you're holed up in the lab all day, what do you know?" Newton retorted habitually, while gesturing for Old Pan to continue, as he was interested.
Old Pan shared what he knew about the Mutual Aid Society.
Amidst the crowd's surprise and silence, he added, "Mr. Zhang is very supportive of our plan. With his influence, now is the best time for us to close the wormhole."
"If we handle this properly, we might actually be able to launch a counterattack on the other side of the wormhole..."
"Counterattack!" Newton clenched his fist, his face flushed with excitement. His mind was filled with thoughts of how many monsters he could capture after the counterattack.
Everyone else was also thrilled, unlike anything they had ever felt before.
Ever since the mechs couldn't keep up with the monsters' evolution, they and the mechs have been constantly questioned. Over time, they themselves became uncertain about their own capabilities, and the Plan to Nuke the Wormhole they had previously devised was just a desperate gamble.
But things are different now.
Even people from parallel universes have come to agree with their plan and are willing to offer their help!
They even brought out tens of thousands of nuclear warheads, preparing to take revenge on them later...
Although Zhang Tianyuan didn't say it that way, that doesn't stop Old Pan and the others from understanding it that way.
In short, he's such a great person!
"Today's news is top secret. Only you all know about it in this base. You may all leave. Mr. Cai, stay and report on Raleigh's movements. I'll be going to bring him back tomorrow..."
