Negative energy place, rest room.
Sha Duo had just seen off a visiting team from Chixin University and was going to take a break before resuming the normal work of the project team.
To be honest, he has fallen in love with this job. His original plan was to wait until the negative energy encryption technology had achieved results, and then try to obtain the advanced permissions of the Alliance Mystery Lock, grab the final gift package, and then return to the main plane.
But what he didn't expect was that the research on negative energy encryption was much more difficult than he thought, which caused his original return date to be delayed again and again. If it weren't for the emergence of new materials that gave the project a chance to see the light of day, he wouldn't have known it. What should we do!
Over the years in the Red Heart Alliance, he has lived an extremely fulfilling life. Such a society is a place he dreams of living in. At this moment, he has countless reasons and opportunities to enjoy the various benefits brought by this era.
But like many other red-hearted elves, at this stage, he naturally gave up those low-level interests and turned to the cause of developing civilization and liberating life.
Explained by the principle of needs on earth, that is - most of the needs of every individual in the True Heart Alliance have been fully satisfied by this era and this society. Now they are pursuing only one thing, and that is the realization of self-worth.
Specifically, Xia Duo is no worse than the Alliance Governor in terms of daily food and clothing expenses, and in terms of decision-making on Alliance affairs, in areas related to negative energy and mystery locks, he even has more decision-making weight than the Alliance Governor.
How could he not love such an era and such a society?
"But after all, I am just a passerby! No matter how good the Heart Alliance is, it is not my home!"
Thinking of his hometown on Earth and his new home on the main plane, Xia Duo couldn't help but be silent. After sorting out his emotions, he left the lounge.
…
Back in the laboratory, Instructor Lei Wen was not here. He probably had more in-depth exchanges with the visiting scholars. Xia Duo didn't pay much attention to it, because a situation like this would happen at least once a year.
He casually took off the Lingsi network connector from the entrance disposal rack and clipped it to his long ear. Xia Duo found that there was a strange emotion permeating the Lingsi network, which made him instantly alert.
"Grinch, did anything special happen today?"
"You don't know yet?"
The Grinch's eyes widened and he looked at Sha Duo in surprise. Seeing that Sha Duo was really unaware, he explained, "Sruvind of the Everska Alliance provoked a conflict at the border. This time It’s more intense than before, maybe war is coming.”
"Sruvinder is provoking a provocation? War is coming?"
The former is not unfamiliar to Shado. Maruente had personally experienced the border conflict provoked by Sruvend during his service. But if war is coming, it shouldn't be a big deal, right?
The "war" mentioned here refers to a comprehensive war, rather than one or two border conflicts or local wars, because both sides in the war may destroy the other.
Especially for the Red Heart Alliance, it is an indisputable fact that after hundreds of years of development after the armistice, the overall strength is stronger than the countries of the Everrisk Alliance. However, the Everrisk Alliance has also mastered some of the secrets of the Dragon Madness Lock. You can die together.
This state is somewhat similar to the nuclear balance on the earth. As long as a war starts, it will be a lose-lose outcome. Sruvender is not so unwise, right? And can it alone represent the entire Everrisk Alliance?
"Where did you hear this news? How can you tell that war is coming?" Shado continued to ask the Grinch.
"It was just now! One of the visiting scholars from Chixin University is conducting research on negative energy weapons. The information he disclosed should not be without evidence."
Sha Duo should have met the visiting scholar Grinch mentioned once, but today the laboratory received several visiting teams, and he was not sure whether the other person had said that.
But judging from the Grinch's reaction, it should have been said, but he didn't hear it. Then he asked: "What's more specific? Did he say that war was coming?"
"He did not directly say that war was coming, but mentioned the intensification of border conflicts and the fact that Sluvende and Jelenstad had begun mobilization. Jelenstad was far away in the Listal Forest in the east. Mobilization has begun, isn't war coming soon?" Grinch asked rhetorically.
"No."
Sha Duo shook his head, "Distance is not a problem at all in modern warfare. This is not the reason for Jelenstad's mobilization, but it should be certain that the conflict will intensify this time. I just don't know how the alliance will respond and the final conflict. The direction is also worrying.”
"Maruente, you are a professional in this area. Do you think it is really impossible to trigger a full-scale war?"
"It's hard to say. I can only say that the Conventional War Alliance has no opponents. As for whether it will trigger a full-scale war, it is impossible to judge based on the current information, but I hope there will not be a full-scale war."
…
Two days later, a strong earthquake occurred in the far north. This vibration not only occurred in normal space, but even affected demiplanes that were linked and overlapping with this place.
The Negative Energy Research Institute was notified of an emergency evacuation, and the demiplane where the institute's body was located was urgently transferred to the Antarctic. After that, Xia Duocai walked out of the research institute and got the latest news from the outside world——
One is that there was indeed an earthquake in the Far North, and the impact was huge. Nearly half of the Spine of the World mountain range collapsed. Even if the alliance was protected by the Mystery Lock, the strong earthquake was felt, and it caused a lot of infrastructure damage and a small amount of damage. Casualties.
Another piece of news is even more serious in comparison. The Everesca Alliance announced a plane transformation plan to sort out the status of the magic network in the plane.
The previous Far North earthquake was caused by a routine detection.
However, the Red Heart Alliance said that the Everesca Alliance was trying to repair and transform the Dragon Madness Lock, and that the earthquake in the far north was caused by the failure of the transformation experiment.
The reason why it is in the Far North is because the control center of Long Kuang Mysuo is there.
Previously, Xia Duo only knew that the Evereska Alliance occupied the Dragon Mad Locks Control Center, but where it was specifically, the alliance's top brass might know, but he had never heard of it.
This time, the Red Heart Alliance directly announced the specific location of the Dragon Kuang Mystic Lock Control Center. Sha Duo discovered that he even passed by there once while traveling on the main plane.
Who would have thought that there is actually the control center of Long Kuang Mystic Lock hidden under the eternal glacier that looks nothing strange on the surface!
If the Red Heart Alliance hadn't said anything, he might have to wait until he collected all the Dragon Madness Secret Scrolls before he could slowly find out, and he wouldn't be able to get it directly based on the location recorded in the secret scrolls.
After all, time has passed, and the main plane has also experienced a very serious disintegration of the continent. There is a high probability that it cannot be found directly based on the location recorded in the secret volume.
In this projection plane, it is impossible for Xia Duo to predict how he will solve the Dragon Mad Lock crisis, but for the main plane, at least he has mastered the crucial information about the location of the control center.
After returning to the main plane, he can prepare to secretly occupy it, but he must not be occupied by the elves again and then used as a strategic threat.
I’m getting ready to return to the main plane. A summary of the harvest from the Red Heart Alliance’s projection plane will be released later.
