Chapter 1079: The Construction of the Split Beam Tower
Upon hearing the voice, Chang Rui and Lin Meng's hearts clenched in unison.
This particular alert rarely appeared in the news.
The last time it surfaced was during the broadcast about the Sea Titan King and the fall of Morning Star.
Now, with the voice resurfacing, it was clear that something urgent had occurred on the front lines!
Could it be another god-level entity had fallen?
Chang Rui quickly splashed cold water on his face, barely managing to wash off the facial cleanser.
Lin Meng, still buttoning his pants, rushed out of the bathroom in a panic.
Neither had time to care about their disheveled appearances, their eyes immediately drawn to the television screen.
The familiar female news anchor was gone, replaced by an unfamiliar male anchor with a stern expression.
He announced gravely, "We are interrupting our regular programming to bring you an urgent update. According to the latest intelligence from the front lines, the Skrull forces have erected a towering spire south of their main base. The purpose of this spire remains unknown, but as emphasized by Commander Su Yu, it is a secret weapon of the Skrulls, and its power is undoubtedly immense..."
During his broadcast, the news interspersed a video clip.
The footage was extremely grainy, due to the chaotic front lines where psionic energies raged, space quaked, and a dark purple haze shrouded everything. No camera could capture a clear image of the enemy positions, resulting in the extremely blurry video.
Despite the poor quality, Chang Rui and Lin Meng could still discern the vague outline of a spire amidst the dark purple haze.
The spire stood approximately a hundred meters tall, its peak rising a third higher than the Skrulls' command center.
The spire's body was pure black, and due to the blur, it was impossible to tell if it was cylindrical or square.
However, at the top of the spire, a massive, circular structure was clearly visible, resembling a giant eye that blinked intermittently.
Even though the video was brief and very blurry, the sight of the "giant eye" sent a shiver down Chang Rui and Lin Meng's spines.
This thing looked highly unusual! It had an almost mesmerizing quality!
The news anchor continued, "The United Government is awaiting the latest updates from the front lines. Once we have more information, we will immediately broadcast it on television and the official Evolution game forum..."
The rest of the broadcast was less significant.
Lin Meng, having buttoned his pants, looked at his roommate with a dazed expression, "Old Chang, what was that just now?"
"Um... Commander Su didn't say it clearly? This is obviously a secret weapon the Skrulls have prepared. It's definitely aimed at the first defensive line. I wonder if the line can hold."
"Sigh, I hope Commander Su and the front-line soldiers can hold on," Lin Meng sighed.
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud commotion erupted from outside the window.
Voices were clamoring below, with many people shouting loudly.
"What's going on?" Startled, the two quickly moved to the window to look outside.
They soon realized the commotion was coming from their neighbors in the residential building.
The entire building was in an uproar, and Chang Rui and Lin Meng could clearly hear the shouts from the floors above, below, and even their own floor.
Clearly, everyone had heard the urgent broadcast and couldn't help but react chaotically.
This was one of the drawbacks of the Earth United Government's "emergency broadcasts."
The joint government’s "Emergency Broadcast" system has many advantages. For instance, it ensures accurate and rapid information dissemination, allowing global citizens to stay informed about frontline events within minutes. This has earned widespread praise from the public.
However, the system’s drawbacks are also evident. Any unfavorable developments on the frontlines can quickly lead to widespread panic among the civilian population.
This is especially true in the current situation, where the flaws are glaringly apparent. Chang Rui and Lin Meng can sense the overwhelming panic around them, which is causing them to feel anxious as well.
“What do we do? I’m starting to panic!”
“Don’t panic, don’t panic. Trust that General Ke will find a solution.”
“Sigh, we can only hope for good news soon!”
“Right, General Ke, please hurry. Otherwise, the whole city will descend into chaos.”
Chang Rui and Lin Meng listen to the chaotic noise throughout the building, at a loss for words.
As for going to work, that has long been forgotten. At a time like this, who has the heart to go to work? They might as well stay home and wait for the latest news.

The scene shifts back to the frontline, the Skrull headquarters at Mount Fuji.
The Skrulls have set up a Disintegration Beam Wave Tower, a massive structure standing 100 meters tall. The "eye" at the top is enormous, with a diameter of 20 meters, making it hard to miss.
However, the Skrulls are not concerned about whether the Earthlings see it, as the Wave Tower is about to be put into use.
At the base of the tower, Morgan Leryang smiles and introduces the tower to his father, Manina, with great respect.
"Father, this is the Disintegration Beam Wave Tower. We wasted materials on three failed attempts, but we’ve finally succeeded in building one! The tower is currently charging, and the progress bar is at 99.5%. It will be operational very soon!"
"Great job, my son. You are the pride of the entire Skrull planet!" Manina pats his son Morgan on the shoulder with satisfaction.
Morgan is truly his most outstanding son, far superior to his other children!
Now that Morgan has managed to construct such a powerful weapon, the Disintegration Beam Wave Tower, Manina’s approval of his son is only growing.
Just as Manina finishes speaking, the Wave Tower completes its charging.
The progress bar at the base of the tower jumps from 99.5% to 100%, changing from yellow, indicating "charging," to green, indicating "charged."
"Father, shall we activate the Wave Tower now?" Morgan Leryang turns to his father, asking solemnly.
Manina squints his eyes with a smile and says happily, "Activate it now. I want to see the power of the St. Silver Federation’s standard defense weapons!"
"Very well."
Morgan Leryang waves his hand, and the Disintegration Beam Wave Tower enters a ready-to-fire state.
The "giant eye" at the top of the tower quickly opens, and a large amount of yellow-green light gathers at its center.
Once the energy is fully accumulated, the Disintegration Beam will be ready to fire!
At this moment, the high-ranking Earth defenders are also closely monitoring the Wave Tower.
The Earth side is generally more tense.
They can only see the structure of the Wave Tower but have no idea what it is designed to do.
Moreover, the Wave Tower is located within the Skrull alliance’s main base, making it impossible for the Earth side to interfere. They can only watch and wait for the Skrulls to make their move.
