Not long after Xia Pingan and Yan Duo left the old man's office.
In the office, the old man had already turned on the quantum encrypted video conference system of the Committee of Order.
The old man stood in the office with his dragon-headed cane, his body straight. A wall in the office slid open, revealing a huge conference screen. The people on the screen were the various members and powerhouses of the National Committee of Order of the Great Fire Country.
At this time, the powerhouses of the committee still had not rested. Behind each of the heads was either an office or a cultivation room.
…
"… I believe in the news brought by my Summoners. They are the best Summoners under the Yi State Order Committee. This is definitely not false information, nor is it a coincidence. This is the most dangerous signal. We don't have much time left. In fact, this is the 27th warning we have received in the past two months. During this period, all the members of the Devil's Eye who were killed said the same thing before they died. I solemnly request here again that the Country of Fire declare a state of emergency as soon as possible to deal with the upcoming huge crisis!"
Wang Xihe's voice revealed an indescribable worry.
"Just because of what a few members of the Demon Eyes said before they died, we should immediately declare a state of emergency, raise the anti-space invasion level of the provinces to the highest, have everyone enter shelters, and basically stop all economic activities in the country. Isn't this a bit too much of a joke? Even if we agree, the president won't agree! "
On the screen, a silver-haired face spoke calmly.
"Old He, I'm not doubting the abilities of your subordinates, but after all, this is only the news from two ordinary members of the Demon Eyes. Even if what they said before they died might be a little exaggerated, I think this might be a trap of the Demon Eyes. Throwing out a few people can make us panic and achieve their other goals. We have to be on guard!"
"Old He, you proposed that the country immediately enter a state of emergency. It's only been a few days, and you're here again. Aren't the demon suppression guards already being formed in the provinces? Isn't that enough?"
"Yes, I also think it might be a trap and conspiracy of the Demon Eyes!" Another old man with gray hair and a serious face on the screen said. "According to the number of sacrifices we've discovered and monitored in the past six months, the scale of their sacrifices in the North Light Continent hasn't reached the level of causing an S-rank space invasion. If we immediately declare a state of emergency, it will cause huge chaos in the country …"
"Even without the Demon Eyes, a large-scale space invasion will erupt. The sacrifice of the Demon Eyes is not a prerequisite for a large-scale space invasion!"
Wang Xihe retorted, his voice deep like an echo in a black hole. "According to the research data and information feedback obtained from the 'Black Hawk Project' back then, Project Eden, which destroyed the British Isles in 1945, might have opened the planar channel coordinates for a permanent space invasion. After Project Eden, the frequency and intensity of space invasions have been increasing in the past half a century, and the Demon Eyes have become more and more active.
Especially in the past year or so, the actions of the Demon Eyes have become more and more abnormal. Except for small-scale sacrifices, all the members of the Demon Eyes above the black-robed priest level have ceased all activities, waiting for something. Judging from the recent signs of intensive sacrifices, I think that the words of the two Demon Eyes members before they died today should have aroused our high vigilance. The moment we've been worried about might really come … "" Yes, it's time for the Demon Eyes.
"Back then, the 'Black Hawk Project' was controversial. The research results of this project have not been confirmed, and the European Atomic Energy Research Center did not agree with the research results of the 'Black Hawk Project' …" Someone immediately raised a different opinion.
"How do we confirm it? It only has one chance to be confirmed. Do we really have to wait until hundreds of millions of people, billions of people, die before we can confirm it? "Wang Xihe's voice had unknowingly become louder.
We know that you personally participated in the 'Black Hawk Project' back then and are a firm supporter of the research results of the 'Black Hawk Project'. You've always felt that Project Eden opened the final magic box, and the Demon Eyes announced that Holy Advent would definitely come. We all understand this, but before there is more evidence to support your conclusion, it's not appropriate to declare a state of emergency in the entire Fire Country. This will cause a series of chain reactions, and the price is too great. I think that the reconstruction of the Demon Suppression Guards in the provinces is enough to deal with the threat of space invasions that the Fire Country will face in the future … "Another person on the screen spoke, his opinion still opposing.
"Didn't the members of the Demon Eyes say that before the real Holy Advent, there will be a rain of fire falling from the sky, causing the entire land to fall into a sea of fire? I think this is a way to test the truth of what the members of the Demon Eyes said. I've already asked the National Space Development Agency before, and there are currently no large-scale meteorites, meteors, or asteroids in the Solar System that are going to attack Earth.
Moreover, there will be no large-scale meteorites or meteors attacking Earth in the next six months. Since July, the scale of the meteor shower in Aquarius, Capricorn, Perseus, Draco, and Orion has not fluctuated much compared to previous years. Everything is under the control of the National Space Development Agency, and it will not cause much harm to the people on the ground! "
"Why don't we wait and upgrade our countermeasures when there are really abnormal astronomical phenomena?"
"I agree …"
"I agree too. It's more appropriate this way!"
Most of the people at the meeting agreed to adopt a more conservative response plan.
Thud, thud, thud …
Wang Xihe slammed the cane in his hand heavily on the ground, and the force almost cracked the ground. The old man said loudly, "You only think about what's appropriate, but you've forgotten that in history, all the most harmful space invasions happened suddenly. They never waited for us to prepare everything properly. This is a battle between races, a life-and-death war. The enemy won't wait for us to put on our armor and pick up our weapons before attacking us. If our summoners hadn't discovered the members of the Demon Eyes and successfully killed them to obtain key information, we would have been completely in the dark tonight, and we wouldn't even have had this only window of opportunity. But now, you're here discussing what's appropriate?"
The conference room was silent, and only the old man's voice was roaring.
"Those two members of the Demon Eyes won't shoot without aim. I think we can be more cautious about this matter. I support Xihe. During this period, the provinces can conduct more anti-space invasion exercises …"
"I also support Xihe. In addition to the anti-space invasion exercises, I think we can inform the military and political leaders of various places so that those who are willing to enter the combat readiness command centers can adapt in advance!"
"Inform the National Defense and Military Commission as well. Tell them to be prepared!"
There were also a few more cautious ones who adopted a compromise plan. They were prepared to gradually use anti-space invasion exercises in cities to familiarize everyone with and adapt in advance so that ordinary people would not be so relaxed.
Few people believed that the true Holy Spirit that the Demon Eyes members said would descend in the near future. Perhaps space invasions below Grade S were definitely possible. But even if the situation worsened and a Grade S space invasion occurred, there was no need for the Fire Country to panic. After all, the Fire Country was not the United Kingdom, which only had a few small islands and a few people.
The Great Fire Country had plans to deal with various levels of space invasions.
If there were abnormal astronomical phenomena or other strong evidence, the Committee of Order would consider upgrading the response measures.
Some people felt that Wang Xihe was making a mountain out of a molehill and overreacting.
The final resolution of the meeting was that the Committee of Order of each province could choose some cities to conduct an anti-space invasion exercise at different times to improve the safety awareness of the people and inform the military and political officials of the provinces and ministries about the Demon Eyes.
There was nothing wrong with the resolution of the meeting.
At the end of the meeting, Wang Xihe looked at the screen that went black again and closed his eyes helplessly.
Half a minute later, Wang Xihe opened his eyes again. His eyes were as firm as ever, with a trace of helplessness.
"Do you … really not believe it, or … are you unwilling …"
