Chapter 649: The "Blast Mining" Plan in Action
Chapter 649: The "Blast Mining" Plan in Action
The "Blast Mining" plan was executed with utmost secrecy, even the Speaker of Beck Country, Cindy Doppler, was unaware of its existence. The Blue Star cultivators had not caught a single whisper of it.
It wasn't until the spaceship carrying the "Anti-Gravity Crystal Drill" arrived on Blue Star that the Blue Star inhabitants learned of the Skrull's audacious plan.
Prime Minister Cao was currently in a city called Istanbul, located along the Mediterranean coast. About 40 kilometers north of this city was a large spring, which was his target for the night.
As he approached the spring, he saw the spaceship carrying the "Anti-Gravity Crystal Drill" emerge from a spatial rift and quickly descend towards the base.
But Cao found this strange.
Usually, whether it was a combat or transport spaceship, it would land on the runway near the base and then proceed to its designated location based on the base commander's instructions.
However, this spaceship was different.
Instead of heading towards the southeast runway, it descended vertically at a 90-degree angle.
The spatial rift was directly above the "Psychic Energy Collection Plant" built over the psychic spring.
When the spaceship arrived, a hole opened in the roof of the "Psychic Energy Collection Plant," and the spaceship descended directly through it.
Cao had never seen a spaceship land directly into a collection plant before.
It wasn't until he received information from the headquarters of the United Government that he learned most of the world's springs had received a similar spaceship.
This meant the spaceship must contain something extraordinary!
Without hesitation, he swung the hilt of the "Sword of Ten Thousand Words" and charged inside.
Switching to Speaker Hu Jing's perspective.
He watched as the spaceships entered the "Psychic Energy Collection Plant," and for the next two hours, the plant seemed to pause in operation.
Two hours later, a massive surge of psychic energy overflowed from the "Psychic Energy Collection Plant"!
In the past, the plants would not run at full capacity, especially for smaller springs. Setting the power to around 30% was enough to absorb all the psychic energy, ensuring not a single molecule escaped.
But now, things were different.
Whether it was a large or small spring, every collection plant was running at full power, yet they still couldn't absorb all the psychic energy. The excess energy seeped out from the gaps in the plant walls.
This overflow of psychic energy was immense, quickly spreading throughout the entire base.
Then, it continued to expand, eventually covering the United Government's outposts at the base of each mountain.
The Blue Star forces stationed in these outposts felt the overwhelming surge of psychic energy cascading down from the mountains, realizing the Skrulls must be up to something big!
However, they had not received any orders from headquarters and could only grip their weapons tightly, waiting for combat instructions.
The high-ranking officials of the United Government were flustered by the sudden changes.
But fortunately, Speaker Hu Jing managed to maintain his composure.
In the headquarters of the relevant departments in Yanshan, he sternly observed the current situation on the dynamic map and asked Xue Wenli, who was typing away on her keyboard to his left, "Wenli, have we determined what's happening at the springs?"
Xue Wenli, busy compiling and summarizing reports from various departments across the country, replied amidst her work, "Speaker Hu, based on the data I've analyzed, we have a general idea of what the Skrulls are up to."
"Really?"
"Tell me more," said Chairman Hu, his face tightening.
Xue Wenli looked at the chart on the screen in front of her and spoke calmly, "In the last two hours, Chancellor Cao successfully captured the large spring in Istanbul, while Su Yu secured the two small springs, F3 and F6, in Japan.
After capturing the springs, their first priority was to enter the psychokinetic collection facilities to determine what the Skrulls had transported there.
Through their on-site investigations, we obtained images of the exterior and internal structure of the machines the Skrulls brought.
According to Su Yu, the machines have a plaque that reads 'Anti-Gravity Crystal Drill,' but he doesn't know what it is."
Xue Wenli pulled up several images on her computer to show Chairman Hu.
The "Anti-Gravity Crystal Drill" is a massive cylindrical machine, standing 6 meters tall with a base radius of nearly 10 meters.
However, due to the vast technological gap between Earth and Skrull, they couldn't figure out the purpose of these machines in the last two hours.
Chairman Hu stared at the image of the machine on the computer, remaining silent for a long time.
Xue Wenli glanced at Chairman Hu and continued, "We didn't know what these machines were for until they were installed in the various springs. Only then did we understand their purpose."
She switched the computer back to the initial chart and pointed to it, saying, "In the last three minutes, these 'Anti-Gravity Crystal Drills' produced and released an unknown substance. This substance reached underground and reacted with the psychokinetic energy there, significantly enhancing its activity.
Then, the springs started erupting!
Based on real-time monitoring, the flow from each small and large spring controlled by the Skrulls has increased by at least ten times! Some have even increased by over fifteen times!
The psychokinetic collection facilities are operating at full capacity, but they can't fully process such a massive amount of energy. As a result, a large amount of psychokinetic energy is escaping into the environment, even reaching our base at the foot of the mountain."
"I see," Chairman Hu's expression grew even more serious.
After hearing this, he fully understood the Skrulls' plan—they were trying to loot as much as they could before leaving!
Chairman Hu now completely grasped the Skrulls' strategy.
The recent attacks on psychokinetic springs by Earth cultivators led by Chancellor Cao and Su Yu had put immense pressure on the Skrulls.
Especially with the smaller and larger springs, since they would eventually fall into the hands of Earth cultivators, why not accelerate their exploitation and take more psychokinetic energy back?
Thus, the Skrulls devised this plan to use the "Anti-Gravity Crystal Drills" to speed up the eruption of psychokinetic energy from the ground, allowing them to take more back.
According to the current data, the Skrulls have installed "Anti-Gravity Crystal Drills" in every small and large spring they control, but not in the 22 giant springs.
Clearly, the Skrulls are planning to abandon all the small and large springs and focus on defending the 22 giant springs.
After piecing everything together, Chairman Hu quickly explained his understanding of the Skrulls' plan to Xue Wenli. He concluded, "Wenli, compile this information into a video or text and send it to all departments, as well as to Chancellor Cao and Su Yu.
From now on, we need to change our strategy. We won't focus on capturing the springs; instead, we will compete with the Skrulls for the psychokinetic energy!"
"Understood."
