In the second week after Ark members found Ayers, a series of half-true and half-false reports suddenly began to ferment in international public opinion.

Dozens of accidents caused by adjacent dimension intrusions were exposed, including several accidents within China.

No one knows where their information came from, just as no one knows who the organization that exposed it is.

——

Of course, in the eyes of people with sufficient information, this series of reports is either related to the Ark or to the Natural Cult, but to be finalized, further evidence is needed.

"An adjacent dimension invasion occurred in Texas. The entropy jump caused the structure of the building to brittle, causing the building that had just been built three years ago to collapse. Fortunately, this incident did not cause any casualties."

"Cracks appeared in the Hoover Dam. After inspection, a large amount of ice and low-temperature areas were found near the cracks, confirming that the accident was related to the invasion of adjacent dimensions."

"An adjacent dimension invasion occurred on a farm in Iowa. The incident resulted in the death of 13 people. It is understood that all the deceased died of respiratory multi-organ failure due to energy loss. The farm owner witnessed the entire incident. However, due to the constraints of the case investigation process, witnesses are temporarily unable to be interviewed."

"The Yindu military claimed to have detected an intrusion channel from an adjacent dimension and successfully closed it. This statement has not yet been confirmed by professionals."

"Mao Xiong officially claims that a total of 11 neighboring U.S. invasions have occurred in China recently, with no casualties."

Ye Zhou looked at the constantly refreshing news reports, frowned and said:

"Where did so many intrusions come from? Most of them are man-made accidents, right? Are they all blamed on the neighboring dimension?"

Chen Hao on the opposite side shook his head helplessly and replied:

"Then what can be done? The current general environment is that if you say that the accident was caused by the invasion of the adjacent dimension, then it was caused by the invasion of the adjacent dimension. There is no need to submit any additional evidence at all, and the people will accept this same trick."

"There must be some truth and some lies in these news, but I personally think that most of them are true."

"Because most of them are accidents that cannot be traced, such as what happened at the Iowa farm. Judging from the autopsy reports released by the police, the 13 people did die suddenly. Such a concentrated death incident can only be found in adjacent areas. Intrusion is a more reasonable explanation."

Ye Zhou nodded slightly and then said:

"I agree that this is true, but it is too coincidental. What is the range of the entropy increase jump point we have detected now? Killing 13 people at once? It's a bit incredible."

"Calabash baby, please save grandpa. The accident in Yunwei County almost happened like this. If the leader hadn't happened to be a few steps slower, I guess all four of us would have had to explain where we were."

Hearing this, Ye Zhou sighed, pondered for a moment and then said:

"I always feel that something is wrong with the recent situation. It is obvious that the location and time of the entropy increase jump point are very random. All the incidents in our country have caused less than 1% of the actual losses - in fact, it is cloud It’s just the one in Wei County.”

"But from the perspective of international public opinion, they acted as if this invasion was a targeted and precise attack."

"Especially the Hoover Dam incident. This is obviously a deliberate attempt to arouse people's sensitive nerves and lead ordinary events into the direction of a major crisis."

Chen Hao also frowned when he heard this, and he asked:

"Do you think someone is manipulating public opinion?"

"That should be the case, but I can't figure out who it is. Creating crises and anxiety is logically what the Natural Sect would like to see the most, but now the Natural Sect has almost been beaten to death by Hermes. It’s—is it the handiwork of Ark?”

"Sounds like it, but the motive doesn't make sense."

Chen Hao shook his head and continued:

"After all, Ark is just a branch within Hermes. They have differences with Hermes in terms of development concepts, but their essence is not to the level of a fugitive faction. It is not good for them to create such a panic."

"They have demands for technological development, but the more panicked the people are and the more chaotic the order, the more difficult it will be for technological development - this is obviously not what they want to see."

"But that's not necessarily true. Hermes themselves are a bunch of lunatics. Maybe they want to use this kind of panic to force the officials of various countries to make a desperate move?"

Ye Zhou sighed, closed the screen of the PAD on the table, and then continued:

"Ignore them for now, how are we preparing our quick reaction plan?"

Chen Hao handed Ye Zhou a stack of documents and then said:

"The military has made great efforts. The micro-incendiary bombs you want are not available yet, but they have a simple structure and can be mass-produced within a week at most. Now their problem is that these incendiary bombs need to be distributed to local militia groups. Is it reasonable or not? This is a destructive weapon after all, and if it is used in a bad place, it will cause huge losses."

"Then there is no other way. If we want to use a large amount of energy to impact the adjacent dimensional channel in a short period of time, the only option we can choose is an incendiary device - we can't build a micro-nuclear bomb, right?"

"And, believe me, as long as these things are distributed, the positive effects will far outweigh the negative effects."

"What the public cares about is not how useful you can be, but whether you have a solution. Now that you have a solution, we are not helpless when the entropy increase jump occurs. This is enough."

".It makes sense. Then why not just go one step further and distribute it directly to the people?"

"Then we need to install a system. Each incendiary bomb needs to be numbered and connected to the Internet. Is it technically possible?"

Chen Hao did not answer immediately. He took out his mobile phone and sent a few messages before he raised his head and said to Ye Zhou:

"Technically there is no problem, but it will take a little longer, about a month."

"It's absolutely fine. Announce the news in the early stage to stabilize domestic public opinion. Follow the emergency and follow the authority. This is the best way I can think of."

Chen Hao raised his head, gave Ye Zhou a comforting look, and then said:

"Don't be too nervous. In fact, this method is not bad. Compared with other countries that do nothing and show up, we have tried our best. The most important thing is, didn't you say it yourself? We sent them Not really a weapon against invasion from adjacent dimensions, but a sense of security.”

"If you have something in your hand, no matter how useful it is, you will feel safe. Just like when you were walking at night when you were a child, if you had a sword in your hand, you would feel much bolder - although the sword must be It won’t hurt the monsters and monsters you’re afraid of.”

"What's more, the things we are sending out now are still effective, which is very good."

Ye Zhou nodded and was about to answer when there was a sudden knock on the office door. Then, a secretary walked in and placed a report marked top secret in front of the two of them.

The two looked at each other, and their expressions became a little nervous. Then, Chen Hao opened the envelope. After seeing the contents clearly, he said with some emotion:

"Now it is certain that someone is manipulating public opinion. What do they want to do?"

Ye Zhou was still reading the report word for word. After a long time, he spoke:

"Theoretically, if a nuclear explosion accident occurs, if the entropy increase jump point happens to appear near the prepared nuclear warhead, it may indeed lead to a loss of internal balance and induce an uncontrollable fission reaction, but this probability is too small."

"I think the possibility of destruction is high - do you remember the conditions that Jess put forward to us before? They said they would detonate one or two nuclear bombs in the ugly country."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking of."

Ye Zhou pushed the document away, leaned back on the chair, and then said:

"In this case, the situation has been basically confirmed. It is definitely the Ark organization that controls public opinion, but their purpose is still mysterious."

"Forget it, let's not worry about it. Contact Bruce Conn directly and ask them what they want to do."

"If even he doesn't know about it, then Hermes should clean up the door."
