Chapter 473 Discuss Countermeasures
Because there were quite a few people attending the discussion, the meeting room set up on the 8th floor of the Dawn Tower for the Central Information Management Department was not enough to accommodate everyone, while the meeting hall on the 2nd floor was too large. So, everyone went to the 22nd floor of the Dawn Tower, which had been renovated and could accommodate meetings of up to 200 people, which was just right.
Soon, all the level 12 and 13 powerhouses from Dawn City and the Dawn Army arrived at the conference room. In addition to them, there were also officers from the headquarters and military headquarters, including Zheng Yong, Feng Tian, Wu Gang, Zheng Aiguo, and Wei Lanxin. The three deputy city lords of Dawn City, Ma Tiancheng, Yun Qian, and Shen Menghua, as well as Liu Chuanfeng, the newly appointed minister of the City Security Department, also attended the meeting.
The meeting was chaired by Li Chenglong. He first recounted the previous operation in the Interstellar Alliance and his journey to other universes. Then, he explained the situation in the Martian and Earth spheres through the images and data recorded by the Flying Dragon on the big screen.
Lena spoke seriously: "Actually, when the Void creatures launched a large-scale attack in February, we lost contact with the Interstellar Alliance. Subsequently, Mr. Roddick, Princess Sera, and I sent out several groups of people to seek help, but we lost contact with them very soon after they left the Earth Sphere. At that time, we judged that the entire region from Earth to Mars was probably isolated."
Sitros shook his head: "At that time, our Mars base and lunar base were attacked by millions of void creatures almost simultaneously. In less than an hour, we lost 80% control of these bases and also lost a large number of aircraft and weapons. It was only at Lady Marina's insistence that we were able to evacuate to Earth. Then we Setan people came to Dawn City, while other alien alliances went to the European Alliance and the North American Alliance."
Wang Jie switched the content on the monitor: "These are the images our Eagle high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, escorted by five Tyrannosaurus fighter jets, risked their lives to capture over the past two days. Through analysis of these images and the valuable data transmitted back by the reconnaissance aircraft, we can conclude that the situation around the world is very bad, and some places have become completely dead zones."
As she spoke, Wang Jie switched between several images, all of which showed endless deserts, even more desolate than the most barren parts of the Sahara. Moreover, the sand in these deserts wasn't white or yellow, but brownish-black, making them appear even more desolate and terrifying.
After everyone had finished looking at the pictures, Wang Jie introduced them one by one: "The five almost identical pictures you just saw are of Hawaii, Miami, Rio de Janeiro, Milan, and Cape Town. Some of these places used to be very beautiful, and many were tourist hotspots, but now they have all turned into this. More importantly, this kind of scene is constantly appearing and expanding all over the world."
Li Chenglong stood up and said, "This is the current situation. After the meeting this afternoon, I contacted headquarters and the New Human Empire. Of the nine large bases that still exist, five are on the territory of the Chinese Humans and four are on the territory of the New Human Empire. Of the eight medium-sized bases, six are on the territory of the Chinese Humans and two are on the territory of the New Human Empire. The losses are quite severe."
Yunlan continued, "So the situation has really reached a point where there is no time to lose. I invited everyone here today so that everyone could speak freely and see if there is any way to deal with these void creatures."
Lena held up a document: "Our research team has been working non-stop for the past few months and has made three new discoveries. One is that of our existing weapons, only the super-powered rifle, the super-powered anti-aircraft gun, the crystal particle cannon, and the super-powered missile have any killing power against void creatures. Other weapons, even the S1 and S2 mechs, have limited effectiveness."
She paused for a moment and continued, "The second discovery is that among the various superpowers and abilities currently available, ordinary strength and speed-based abilities have almost no effect on void creatures. However, the more abilities one possesses, the more harm one can cause to void creatures. This is similar to how certain diseases were treated on Earth in the past; one medicine alone is not enough, and a combination of medicines is necessary."
She continued, "The third and most important discovery is that while void creatures absorb all energy, their individual absorption capacity is limited. Once they absorb more than their own limit, they will collapse and dissipate. However, the limit is different for different forms of void creatures, which will be calculated later."
Li Chenglong nodded: "Okay, Professor Lena and her team's joint research has now found a breakthrough for us, but there is still a problem. The number of these void creatures is too great, it seems endless. But we don't know where these things come from yet. They cross dimensions and pass through the space wall in groups to come to our world. Since there are so many on our Earth, it proves that there must be some entrance and exit for them somewhere."
Zheng Yong said, "Wildfire cannot burn them all; they will spring up again with the spring breeze. Simply attacking these visible Void creatures is not very effective. We need a way to solve them at their root. Moreover, as Commander Li said, he also encountered hordes of Void creatures in another world, which greatly increases the difficulty of finding their lair."
Marina operated a Noah 01 notebook-type crystal computer, typing as she spoke in interstellar language: "The key issue is that, just as Li Chenglong filmed with the Flying Dragon, we are now completely sealed off. Coupled with the rampage of void creatures, even exploring Earth is dangerous now, let alone searching for that entrance in space. Moreover, we don't even know whether that entrance is inside or outside the barrier."
Then, Li Xue, Zhao Liying, Wu Gang, Wei Lanxin, Shen Menghua, Qin Fangyu and others spoke one by one, elaborating on their views.
After some statistics and summarization, Li Chenglong finally said, "I feel we should have a three-step plan. The first step, of course, is to eliminate the void creatures around us and re-establish the connections between the various bases. Currently, we Chinese humans still have five bases: Yanjing Base, Black Gold City, Anxi Base, Shenyang Base, and our Dawn City. In fact, except for Shenyang Base, the other four are not far apart, so this is relatively easy to do."
He continued, "The second step, after completing the first step, is for me to lead a comprehensive survey of Earth using the Dawn and Flying Dragon warships to see if there are any entrances or exits on our planet. If there are, of course, they should be closed or destroyed in time."
After everyone had a moment to process this, he said, "The third step is to wait until the investigation on Earth is completed, then I will pilot the Flying Dragon and take a group of people to investigate in space, focusing on the strange fog covering Mars' orbit. Then, of course, we will contact the Interstellar Alliance to find a way to completely eliminate the void creatures."
Those present listened to his plan and felt that although it was relatively simple, it was the most effective for the current situation.
Li Chenglong concluded, "Starting tomorrow, we'll focus solely on producing weapons effective against void creatures; we'll put everything else on hold for now. Also, I'll take all the equipment I've manufactured in my space factory to the Dawn Army's Logistics Department tomorrow and have them distribute it as soon as possible. Alright, it's late now, everyone, dismissed."
Everyone took their leave one after another, while Li Chenglong stayed behind to organize some documents. At this moment, Marina approached and said, "Li Chenglong, I have something to tell you. You should know that I have a Void Domain, which can isolate all external factors, right? In the last battle, I discovered that the void creatures within my Void Domain would attack randomly and quickly dissipate. Do you understand what this means?"
