As far as the eye could see, the entire city resembled hell.
This was just the peripheral city covered by the attack.
...
The entire post below was uniformly filled with comnts.
"Condolences!"
...
Su Mo took a deep breath, then closed the post.
Imdiately after, he saw nurous help posts pop up like mushrooms after the rain.
"In the Federation area, urgently seeking tickets to Star Ring City, willing to pay any amount of Star Coins!"
"In the Heck Free Country area, seeking tickets to leave, willing to pay any price."
...
All were looking to escape to Star Ring City, especially the Federation’s posts, which were the most nurous. But it’s expected since the Federation is the target of the attack now.
Though they endured this ti, it doesn’t an they can endure the next ti.
Su Mo could imagine how panicked and helpless the people in the Federation area must be right now.
It’s not surprising if the order is on the verge of collapse.
At this mont, a communication request suddenly popped up.
Qian Chengxue felt her heart tighten when she saw it, then sighed and said to Su Mo: "Su Mo, there’s a communication request from the Federation Special Combat Command Room."
Su Mo was slightly taken aback, then responded.
"Connect."
...
Joint Combat Command Room.
"Connecting with Fifth Expeditionary Army Commander Tia, Federation Second Expeditionary Army Commander Qin Wu..."
After pondering, Alles finally gave the order.
"Alright!"
Hai Yue responded imdiately.
"Right, also connect Su Mo’s communication."
Alles thought for a mont, then added.
In just a few dozen seconds, one after another, virtual images connected in. All the connected personnel were senior combat commanders of the Federation Fleet.
"President of Alles Council."
Su Mo and the others solemnly greeted.
"As you can see, our situation is exceptionally dangerous. It’s estimated that only an hour and thirty minutes remain before the enemy launches their next attack. And there’s a high chance we won’t be able to withstand the next attack. Does anyone have any good ideas?"
Alles raised a hand, indicating everyone not to be formal, and asked bluntly.
"This...."
"The enemy is so far away, what can we do? We can’t reach there in ti."
...
Tia and the others were also at their wit’s end.
Alles couldn’t help but look at Su Mo.
Su Mo let out a wry smile and shook his head; this ti, he indeed had no solution.
Alles quietly observed the many commanders for a full ten minutes. Seeing that no one had co up with a feasible plan, he deeply inhaled and turned to Hai Yue, saying,
"Connect to the communication of the under-construction Multifunctional Planetary Jump Fortress: Light of Wisdom Star."
"Yes!"
Hai Yue paused slightly, then responded.
Soon the communication connected, and virtual images of Lin Wei and other doctors in white research uniforms erged, with Lin Wei among them.
"President of Alles Council? What can we do for you?"
Dr. Sebastian, who was in charge of the main research, asked suspiciously.
Alles took a deep breath and asked, "How is the construction of the Multifunctional Planetary Jump Fortress: Light of Wisdom Star progressing?"
"Everything’s going smoothly, the main frawork is completed, did sothing happen?"
Dr. Sebastian asked, having a bad premonition.
They had been busy constructing the Multifunctional Planetary Jump Fortress: Light of Wisdom Star, paying no attention to external affairs. To keep it confidential, communication in their area was blocked, so they couldn’t even access the Star Ring Forum.
The only connection they had was with the Federation.
"The situation has changed now. The Federation is facing the greatest crisis in its history. There are enemies at the border of Rhein Star Domain and Ring Star Sea, continuously attacking us. I need the Multifunctional Planetary Jump Fortress: Light of Wisdom Star to open the Jump Gate to send our soldiers over. Can you do it?"
Alles spoke bluntly.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo and the others’ eyes lit up imdiately, their hearts rising with hope.
But soon enough, their hope sank again.
Upon hearing this, Sebastian and the others jumped up and insisted to Alles.
"President, it’s simply impossible. The completion of Multifunctional Planetary Jump Fortress: Light of Wisdom Star is only forty-three percent. It cannot open the Jump Gate."
"Indeed, it’s impossible to open. Although the jump devices are installed, forcibly activating them will definitely cause an explosion!"
"Completely infeasible."
...
All the research doctors present advised vehently.
Upon hearing this, Alles sighed deeply, just as he expected.
In fact, Alles knew he was asking too much, but if there were any other options, he wouldn’t do this.
Su Mo and the others saw this scene and remained silent, their last hope dashed.
At this mont, a sudden voice arose.
"It’s not impossible."
Swish!
Instantly, everyone’s gaze in the special combat command room, including those connected like Su Mo, turned towards the source of the voice.
Lin Zinuo, standing next to Lin Wei, suddenly spoke.
Her words montarily stunned Lin Wei, who quickly admonished her.
"Don’t talk nonsense, what can you do?"
Alles interjected, "Don’t interrupt, let her speak!"
Lin Wei, upon hearing the President of Alles Council speak, turned red. Unwilling, but he had no choice but to stay silent, though he still used his eyes to signal Lin Zinuo not to speak recklessly.
Su Mo was also quite surprised to see this, curious about what Lin Zinuo would say.
Lin Zinuo with long black hair down to her waist, wearing a white research coat, stepped forward and said to Alles, "Although the Multifunctional Planetary Jump Fortress: Light of Wisdom Star isn’t completed, its main frawork is nearly done. We can completely open the inner circle of the Jump Gate."
With these words, the other research doctors couldn’t sit still and accused her.
"Aren’t you talking nonsense? Opening the Jump Gate will exert enormous pressure, and the entire fortress will surely disintegrate."
"It will absolutely disintegrate, a hundred percent. If it could be opened, we would have suggested it."
"You’re just a small research assistant, yet you dare to speak so carelessly!"
...
Even the chief research doctor, Dr. Sebastian, frowned and said, "Preposterous."
Faced with the accusations from everyone, Lin Zinuo remained unmoved and replied calmly,
"I’ve reviewed the entire construction plan for the Multifunctional Planetary Jump Fortress: Light of Wisdom Star and participated in the construction, so I’m clear about the project’s current progress. We only need to reduce the power of the jump devices to the lowest level, shorten the activation ti to about fifteen seconds, and then forcibly shut down the jump devices using safety asures. The Multifunctional Planetary Jump Fortress: Light of Wisdom Star might not disintegrate. At most, the main structure will be damaged, and we can repair it afterward."
