Chapter 79: The Situation is Urgent
Chapter 79: The Situation is Urgent
“What did you say? An anti-gravity diamond device?!” In the main command center, Chairman Hu Jing’s face changed dramatically.
He knew exactly what an anti-gravity diamond device meant.
The Skrulls were planning to extract the spirit energy from the wells and then leave, taking the energy with them!
If they succeeded, the Blue Planet inhabitants would lose their right to mine these giant wells for two months, while the Skrulls would gain a significant amount of spirit energy!
The spirit energy contained in giant wells was incomparable to that of smaller and medium-sized wells.
Even if the Skrulls extracted spirit energy from 200 small wells, they wouldn't get as much as from a single giant well!
And all this spirit energy would be turned into bullets aimed at the Blue Planet inhabitants...
Sweat beads formed on Chairman Hu Jing’s forehead.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, he said solemnly into the phone, “Alright, I understand. I’ll handle it immediately.”
“Do it quickly,” Su Yu urged, his voice filled with urgency. “The anti-gravity diamond device at the giant well I’m at is almost in place. I’m sure it’s the same at the other wells. Gather your forces and prepare for the wells!”
After saying this, Su Yu hurriedly hung up, not knowing what was happening on the other end.
Chairman Hu Jing put down the phone and took a deep breath.
Quickly, he issued a command to the AI Blue Whale, “Blue Whale, immediately notify all the high-ranking officials of the United Government and all cultivators of the sixth rank and above. Especially inform the senior cultivator Yang Jian and other ancient cultivators who are in seclusion, urging them to emerge immediately!
“Additionally, gather all sixth-rank and above cultivators at the central squares of the Imperial Capital headquarters and the Yunlu Mountain branch!”
“Understood,” AI Blue Whale immediately responded.
In less than 0.1 seconds, it had sent the emergency situation to the phones of every high-ranking official and high-level cultivator.
At the same time, it connected to the Evolution game network, entering the game to send a group message, urging everyone to return to the real world.
Sixth-rank and above cultivators and players were generally concentrated in Yunlu Mountain and the Imperial Capital.
Upon receiving the message from AI Blue Whale, both locations stirred with activity.
Sixth-rank and above cultivators and players flew out of windows and ascended into the sky, and everyone in the base knew that something significant was happening!
At that moment, Chairman Hu Jing stood in the main command room, his brows furrowed.
To be honest, he had never considered that the Skrulls would do this, and he had no emergency plan in place.
Recently, the Skrulls had resisted fiercely at the spirit energy wells, and both sides had lost many high-level cultivators on the battlefield. It was hard to imagine they would resort to such a scorched-earth tactic, abandoning the wells.
Caught off guard, Chairman Hu Jing had no idea what to do.
But gathering forces and reclaiming the wells was definitely the right move.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue and took another deep breath.
The more critical the moment, the more he needed to stay calm!
“Blue Whale, display the current locations of all sixth-rank and above Blue Planet cultivators,” Chairman Hu Jing ordered in a solemn voice.
“Understood.”
AI Blue Whale immediately executed the command, and a world map quickly unfolded in front of Chairman Hu Jing.
The base map was a pure white, with no color or annotations.
On the map, red, yellow, and green dots lit up.
There were two red dots, representing two god-level experts. Su Yu was currently in southern Australia, and Senior Cultivator Yang Jian was at Yunlu Mountain.
The yellow dots represented seventh-rank cultivators, totaling 12. Among them were players such as Xiaotian, Zhongfeng, Yunzhongmudi, Ice Black Tea, Lao Meng, Lao Li, Qiubei Buyun, True Red-Eyed Black Dragon, and Fujiwara Chihana, and ancient great cultivators such as Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing, and Zuo Ci.
The green dots represented sixth-rank cultivators, and there were many of them, densely scattered across the map.
Chairman Hu Jing could see these dots because, a few months ago, with the consent of the cultivators and players, the United Government had installed monitoring devices in their portable electronic devices.
Now, the yellow and green dots on the map began to move densely, quickly converging on the central squares of these two areas.
Then, he saw the red dot representing Senior Yang Jian tremble and start moving.
Seeing this, Chairman Hu Jing felt a bit of relief.
However, the number of high-level cultivators was still very small.
Prime Minister Cao and the First Emperor were not present, nor were Liu Che, Sima Yan, Zhu Yuanzhang, and other seventh-rank cultivators.
With just these few people, how many of the nine wells could they reclaim?
“Blue Whale, run a war simulation. Simulate how many giant wells we can reclaim with our current strength.”
President Hu Jing instructed.
After a moment of thought, he added, "The condition is that we only send cultivators and mercenaries of the Sixth Rank and above."
Fifth Rank players were still too weak, with their flight speeds ranging from 30 to 70 kilometers per hour, slower than electric vehicles.
In a conflict of this magnitude, if they participated, they would suffer heavy casualties.
President Hu Jing did not intend to risk Fifth Rank players in the battle, preferring to rely on Sixth Rank and above cultivators.
"Understood." AI Blue Whale responded and began the simulation.
AI Blue Whale processed information rapidly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the simulation results were already calculated: "Comrade, the simulation result is that 'we can only reclaim one giant psychic spring,' and there will be significant sacrifices, with a high probability of casualties among Sixth and Seventh Rank cultivators."
"Just one?" President Hu Jing's face paled.
But upon further reflection, it made sense.
If they were to conduct a comprehensive analysis of their combat strength, they indeed wouldn't be able to reclaim many psychic springs.
If the combat strength of a lower-grade divine being was considered "1," a Skrull base's overall combat strength would be around 2.5 to 3.
The Skrull base's defenses, such as force field shields, antimatter railguns, and various laser weapons, added up to a combat strength of about "1."
Typically, a base would have 6 to 8 Seventh Rank cultivators and 50 to 70 Sixth Rank cultivators, with a combined combat strength of 1.5 to 2.
Adding all these up, a Skrull base's overall combat strength would be around 2.5 to 3.0.
On the other hand, all the high-rank cultivators Blue Star could muster included two lower-grade divine beings, 12 Seventh Rank cultivators, and 182 Sixth Rank cultivators, with a combined combat strength of about 4.0.
While "4.0" seemed much stronger than the Skrull base's "2.5 to 3.0," the Skrulls had reinforcements!
If the Skrulls sent a divine being to support, the two sides would be evenly matched.
In such a stalemate, they wouldn't even be able to reclaim a single psychic spring, let alone more!
This was the grim reality they faced.
"Blue Whale, are there any other possibilities?" President Hu Jing asked, looking at the data on the charts in front of him.
AI Blue Whale responded, "Comrade, I have calculated 14 million possibilities.
Before Prime Minister Cao Cao and Emperor Qin Shi Huang return, the probability of us reclaiming one giant psychic spring is about 24.8%, and the probability of not reclaiming any is about 75.2%. Other possibilities are negligible."
AI Blue Whale's calculations were based on all the information she had.
Days ago, President Hu Jing had input all of Blue Star's information, including all classified data, into AI Blue Whale.
The more information AI Blue Whale possessed, the more accurate her judgments became.
She was not a basic AI like those on Skrull; she had formidable computational abilities.
Hearing AI Blue Whale's results, President Hu Jing was momentarily stunned.
They couldn't contact Prime Minister Cao or Emperor Qin, who would only return in six days, when the Secret Realm quest ended.
In six days, the anti-gravity diamond instruments would have drained the psychic springs!
Reclaiming just one psychic spring, and at a great cost, was unacceptable for Blue Star!
"Blue Whale, help me contact Su Yu," President Hu Jing instructed.
At this point, he could only reach out to Su Yu and see what he had to say.
"Understood." AI Blue Whale immediately dialed Su Yu's phone number.
Beep— Beep— Beep—
However, after several rings, Su Yu did not answer.
"What is Su Yu doing? Has he already engaged the Skrulls?" President Hu Jing asked, frowning.
"No," AI Blue Whale replied. "According to surveillance, Su Yu went to a military base near Sydney. Just half a minute ago, he used a spare game helmet to enter the Evolution game.
By the way, one minute ago, he also contacted Xu Xiaotian to enter the game, but it's unclear what they plan to do."
"Enter the game?" President Hu Jing looked puzzled. "Why would he enter the game now?"
However, he believed Su Yu had his reasons, so he didn't press further, only saying, "Notify me the moment Su Yu exits the game!"
"Understood!"
...
...
Su Yu entered the game to enhance the legendary set he had just acquired.
This set of armor can significantly boost his combat power, and he certainly wouldn't hesitate to use it at such a critical moment.
In a secret chamber of the Golden Sparrow Royal Palace, Su Yu met up with Xiaotian.
Without a word, Xiaotian immediately began to gild Su Yu's armor.
Xiaotian, now aware of the Skrull's actions, was visibly nervous.
As she gilded, she urgently asked Su Yu, "Kexing, what do you think we should do now?"
Su Yu remained exceptionally calm and said, "What else can we do? We have to fight the Skrulls and try to reclaim as many springs as possible."
Xiaotian anxiously asked, "How many springs do you think we can reclaim?"
"Hard to say," Su Yu glanced at the armor in front of him.
His set of armor, though made of cloth, was extraordinarily heavy and had already cracked the sturdy floor.
"Our only advantage right now is that the Skrulls don't know about this set of armor," Su Yu calmly analyzed. "This armor can boost my strength several times over. With it on, I can almost match the power of a high-tier God. However, I haven't had the chance to test all its abilities yet. The exact number of springs we can reclaim will depend on my overall performance once I put it on."
"Make sure to give it your all! Reclaim as many springs as possible!" Xiaotian waved her hand, and another piece of equipment was successfully gilded!
...
Meanwhile, Emperor Manina of the Blazing Sun, Speaker Kussman of the Lunke Council, and the various God-Tier beings from Skrull were all closely monitoring the situation on Blue Star.
They wanted to know what the Blue Star humans would do.
Without Cao Cao and Ying Zheng, what else could the Blue Star humans bring to the table?
"Unless something unexpected happens, the Blue Star humans won't be able to break through any of our springs," Kussman analyzed. "There are only two God-Tier beings left on Blue Star, and at most twenty Tier 7s. Even if they all attack together, it would be difficult for them to capture any of our bases."
"I agree," Manina nodded.
Manina quickly added, "However, we can't be complacent. If any of the giant springs are attacked by the Blue Star humans, we need to provide timely support!"
"Understood."
"No problem."
Elizabeth, Stiem, Othas, and other God-Tier beings all responded in the video conference room.
This video conference room had just been opened to discuss how to counter the Blue Star humans' counterattack.
The Blue Star humans would certainly launch a counterattack, and the first wave would be the strongest, with a certain possibility of capturing one of their giant springs.
Before repelling this wave of the Blue Star humans, they needed to maintain constant communication.
...
However, it didn't take long for the Blue Star humans' first wave of counterattack to arrive!
Ten minutes later, Manina, Kussman, and the various God-Tier beings simultaneously received a message from Blue Star—Su Yu had reappeared at the Kosiasco Spring, and his equipment was completely different from before!
When Su Yu first appeared at the Kosiasco Spring, the Skrull base's surveillance equipment had already detected his presence.
However, Su Yu had only circled around the area and then disappeared.
Now, Su Yu had returned for the second time.
This time, there was a significant difference—Su Yu had changed into a completely new set of equipment, and this set was not recorded in their database.
Su Yu's original set, the "Elemental Harmony" armor, was well-known to the Skrulls. It was surrounded by a rainbow of elements, like a colorful aura.
But now, Su Yu was wearing a white robe covered in layers of silver patterns. Powerful spatial fluctuations emanated from him, causing the entire space to tremble.
"Su Yu's new set of equipment..." Elizabeth, with her keen perception, immediately noticed that Su Yu's new equipment was different: "The quality of this set seems... quite high! No, the quality of this set is very high! It must be new equipment that Su Yu has obtained."
"Indeed, it's no longer the rainbow set," Manina nodded. "It seems Su Yu's strength has also improved."
"How much has Su Yu's strength improved?" Kussman, being only Tier 6, couldn't discern the quality of Su Yu's new equipment and asked humbly.
"That's hard to say," Stiem, rarely speaking, replied. "From the appearance of the equipment, it seems to be of very high quality. As for how much it can boost Su Yu's strength, we'll have to wait and see once he takes action."
