Chapter 650: A Change in Tactics
Chapter 650: A Change in Tactics
Not only Director Hu Jingyi, but many others immediately realized the Skrull's sinister plot after witnessing the terrifying eruption from the spring.
Zhong Feng arrived at the "Fu San" small spring, which was under Su Yu's control, half an hour ago, aboard a supersonic fighter jet. He wasn't alone; three top scientists who specialized in high-energy mechanical equipment of the Skrull Empire accompanied him.
These three scientists were ordinary humans with no cultivation, and they couldn't withstand the terrifying acceleration of the supersonic jet. Therefore, Zhong Feng had to accompany them, using his natural energy to stabilize their internal organs, ensuring they arrived safely at the "Fu San" small spring.
Even with Zhong Feng's help, the three scientists still felt extremely uncomfortable when they disembarked, as if their insides were churning and flipping.
However, they didn't have time to dwell on these discomforts. As soon as they got off the jet, they immediately picked up their portable detection instruments and headed straight to the center of the base, the "Psionic Collector Factory."
Inside the factory, Su Yu had already disassembled the anti-gravity drill, exposing its internal structure.
The moment the three scientists arrived, they immediately dove into intense research, examining the machine's construction and usage.
"Check the XIP-12 channel and see if it exists," one of them said.
"Sure... It does exist, and the direction of this channel is vertical downward," another replied.
"Does that mean it leads to the underground psionic pool?"
"Exactly."
"I have a bad feeling about this," one of them muttered.
The three scientists continued their rapid-fire discussion, which Su Yu and Zhong Feng couldn't fully understand.
However, these three scientists were incredibly brilliant. Just five minutes before the global spring psionic eruption, they had already concluded that the anti-gravity drill could maximize the spring's eruption, increasing the eruption volume to over ten times the usual amount!
Xue Wenli also received this conclusion and informed Director Hu Jingyi.
The facts proved the three scientists were right. Five minutes after they concluded, all the small and large springs controlled by the Skrulls began to erupt violently, with the eruption volume reaching over ten times the usual amount, just as the three had predicted.
The situation was gradually spiraling out of the Blue Star people's control.
Upon learning about these springs' conditions, Zhong Feng's expression turned very grim.
He looked at Su Yu, who was stroking his chin in thought, and asked in a low voice, "Su Yu, what do you think about this machine?"
Su Yu pondered for a moment and then said in a deep voice, "The anti-gravity drill causes the spring to over-erupt, which is extremely harmful to the spring. In our Huaxia language, it's like 'pulling up the seedlings to help them grow.' It seems the current situation is very severe."
There was one point Su Yu didn't mention: his past life experiences could verify this. The anti-gravity drill before them was covered in dust, with its casing and parts showing signs of rust. It was clear that this machine had been left unused for several decades.
In other words, the Skrulls in Su Yu's past life definitely had this machine.
But the problem was, they didn't use it in his past life.
If using this machine was entirely beneficial, the Skrulls in his past life would certainly have utilized it.
This suggested that the anti-gravity drill must be extremely harmful to the springs, which was why the Skrulls in his past life didn't use it. The harm might even be...
Seeming to think of something, Su Yu's face gradually turned pale.
Zhong Feng quickly followed up, "Su Yu, what kind of harm do you think the drill will cause to the springs?"
Su Yu glanced at him and replied, "If we consider it optimistically, the spring will accelerate its eruption for a while before stopping. After it stops, the spring won't erupt again, much like an active volcano on our Blue Star. If we consider it pessimistically, the spring might die out after being over-exploited, never to erupt again, similar to a dormant volcano on Blue Star."
"Is that so?" Zhong Feng's face turned grave.
The three scientists standing beside the crystal drill nodded in unison.
One of them, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, said heavily, "Su Yu's speculation is largely the same as the three of us. Such a massive eruption will inevitably lead to a situation where the spring runs out of spiritual energy after a wave of eruptions."
"Whether the spring completely dies out or remains active like a volcano, the difference is minimal for us humans. What we should be most concerned about is that after we reclaim these springs, if they can no longer erupt with spiritual energy, it would be a disaster!"
Zhong Feng understood the severity of the situation.
He nodded at the scientist and turned to Su Yu, saying, "Su Yu, I'll inform headquarters about the current situation immediately. You go and contact the Great Cultivators to discuss and revise our battle plan!"
"Understood!"
Su Yu quickly took out his phone and opened the chat group for the Great Cultivators, intending to share the situation there.
After entering the chat group, he found that the Great Cultivators were already discussing the consequences of the springs' rampant eruptions.
Cao Chengxiang said in the group, "According to the alert from relevant departments, out of the 2845 springs in Skrull's possession, all the large and small springs have activated their anti-gravity crystal drills, except for 22 giant springs. The situation is very grim, everyone."
Emperor Liu Che added, "I'll add a point. Currently, thousands of Skrull energy transport ships are flying into Blue Star from the spatial rifts. On average, there are 3 ships per small spring and 50 ships per large spring."
"It seems they're trying to drain everything, transporting all the spiritual energy that has erupted recently," Su Yu interjected. "I also want to share the deductions made by me, Zhong Feng, and the three top scientists from the united government—after the spiritual energy springs erupt, they are highly likely to enter a long-term 'dormant period.'"
Su Yu shared their deductions with the group.
The other Great Cultivators remained silent, absorbing the information.
As they became more informed, they found the situation increasingly alarming.
Cao Chengxiang was surprised by Su Yu's message, "We don't know when this wave of spiritual energy eruptions will end. Let's make an assumption: if it ends in three days, wouldn't the 2845 springs we've taken over be completely useless?"
"If all 2845 springs wither and die in three days, even if we reclaim them, they would be entirely useless. This would undoubtedly be a massive blow to our offensive plan!" Su Yu responded with a heavy heart in the group.
After a moment, he added, "Precisely because of this, we must change our tactics and rethink our offensive strategy to reclaim more springs and spiritual energy."
"Exactly!"
"You're right."
"Let me think it over. What kind of tactics should we switch to..."
The Great Cultivators discussed in the group.
