Compared with the shock in Mary's heart, Edgar and Lucas were a little dull, because a high-level video conference was about to start.

In the spacious room, seven or eight communication screens have been erected, and the technicians are doing the final debugging.

District 9 director Edgar Hobson stood behind the release stage, raised his left wrist and glanced at his watch, waiting for the minute hand to coincide with the hour hand at 12 o'clock.

The lights in the room gradually dimmed, and the warm light on the opposite side was turned on to highlight it, while the fan-shaped screen surrounding him lighted up one after another, with black and white characters, but older people appeared.

National Security Council!

The immediate boss of the ninth district.

"Mr. Hobson, after allocating so much money and waiting so long, we finally have good news. Maybe you should throw away the hundreds of pages of long reports and tell us the main points."

On the very center screen, the man sitting in the Oval Office smiled.

Edgar's face did not change at all, and his eyes were still sharp. He turned to the first page of the report, glanced at it, put it down, and looked around at everyone: "Dear gentlemen, as you wish.~"

"Yesterday, the sacrifice in Window Rock City of the Navajo Tribe was a success. Our Professor Lucas, like his ancestors, became the high priest of Feathered Serpent, and successfully mastered extraordinary powers."

He noticed that as soon as these words fell, the person in the middle obviously leaned back a little, but quickly returned to normal.

"And Professor Lucas has brought us brand new information about the division of the extraordinary creature grading system. The specific content may be explained by him personally, or it may be more intuitive."

Edgar finished speaking, turned to the side, nodded, and stood aside.

Lucas, who was wearing a black robe, came to the stage and briefly repeated what he said yesterday, and then focused on explaining the high-level transcendence:

"At level 4, such extraordinary creatures are almost humanoid nuclear bombs. Perhaps their instantaneous bursts are not as powerful as large-yield hydrogen bombs, but the former is more flexible and has a strange ability that cannot be prevented."

"A modern army has no resistance at all unless it hides a hydrogen bomb to protect itself. If it is given enough time, as long as it is cautious, it is enough to remove many military forces little by little."

"Once such an existence sets foot in the city, if there is no reasonable shelter, just the aftermath of the war will be enough to cause countless casualties."

"As for level 5 above level 4..."

Lucas stared at everyone on the screen, and said very solemnly: "Also called a 'demi-god'! It is not a demigod in the eyes of mortals, but a demigod in the eyes of extraordinary creatures!"

The faces of the members of the safety committee changed.

The things that the word "god" represents can actually be big or small. For example, a level 2 pseudo-transcendence like Lucas, in the age of ignorance, is an absolutely appropriate standard for gods.

But for modern society, level 2 transcendence is indeed powerful, but it is not invincible, and of course it cannot be called a god.

But if the title of "demi-god" is in the context of the extraordinary system, it becomes very scary.

Although level 5 demigods are unlikely to reach the realm of omniscient and omnipotent "philosophical gods", they must have reached a terrifying level in terms of combat power.

Looking at the inexplicable members of the Security Council, Lucas's story continued:

"Mr. Hobson once asked me how I felt after I became a high priest, and my answer was that it made me more aware of the power of the Aegis."

"I believe that you have all seen the murals of the ruins of the Holy Shield of Mexico. More than 12,000 years ago, the monsters who led the monsters from other worlds to descend on the continent of Magnesia and turned them into hell on earth were monsters whose heads were twisted into strange patterns. "

"And last night, when I was meditating, through the residual spirituality of the Feathered Serpent God in my bloodline, I clearly saw that the monster had no body at the 'real level', but a vast evil light that could not be directly looked at."

"I, who have mastered the level 2 extraordinary power, just saw a glimpse of the image in my memory more than 10,000 years ago, and my soul is particularly tingling."

Edgar's eyes froze next to him, and he didn't know this until now.

The images left in the memory, separated by more than 10,000 years, make the level 2 extraordinary unable to look directly. What kind of terrifying existence is this?

"With such a feature, I can be sure that it is definitely the 6th-level 'Pillar God' standing at the top of the extraordinary system pyramid! But even such an existence was still defeated by the leader of the Holy Shield expedition at the time."

Lucas said loudly.

By this time, the security committee members who were originally Gujing Bubo were already full of solemn expressions on their faces.

"I didn't really understand until yesterday, why the Holy Shield, which was so powerful at that time, chose to use the method of suppression to deal with the cracks in space that would not run at all."

"Because the 6th-level Pillar God is already very difficult to kill and has 'semi-immortality', I am afraid that the defeated Pillar God was suppressed under the ruins of the Magnesia Sacred Shield at that time."

"Members, I want to remind you again that such a powerful holy shield will bring monsters from other worlds in the future on a large scale and characterize it as a human catastrophe."

Although Lucas still doesn't have a good impression of the top U.S. executives, it is undeniable that the U.S. is indeed one of the important forces of mankind.

He didn't want the United States to feel more secure because of his awakening, and then quietly relieved.

Glancing at Edgar, Lucas stepped aside.

The former took the lead and said, "Dear members, I have to mention a very important issue to you."

The wide screen behind Edgar lit up, revealing the massive rocket being finalized.

"This is one of the first four rockets launched by our country in the moon base plan, and the other three are almost identical to it."

"The height is 110 meters, and the take-off weight is 3,040 tons. It is very similar to the Saturn V because it was modified on the basis of the former. However, its take-off thrust is astonishingly nearly 5,000 tons, and the lunar orbit carrying capacity is 160 tons."

"It is simply impossible to achieve such great progress in such a short period of time by just working with five companies."

"The key reason is that the Yan Kingdom has provided unprecedented high-performance materials, which enables the designers of the five countries' rocket engines to increase the working temperature and make more full use of the fuel energy, thereby reducing the proportion of fuel. "

"In addition, the use of this high-performance material in key parts also effectively reduces the self-weight of the firmware, thereby providing more space for the load."

"But anyone who understands materials science knows that small improvements in material properties can only be accumulated over time, let alone explosive progress."

"In addition, this material suddenly appeared after the relationship between Yan Kingdom and the Holy Shield became increasingly close, so we can basically be sure that there must be a reason for the Holy Shield."

"That is to say, it is impossible for us to try to establish an experimental base on the moon so quickly, not to mention the 'Noah's Ark', which is exponentially more difficult."

Edgar will say this, because of the rapid progress of space technology, there have been differences of opinion at the top of the United States.

In the movie "2012", when disaster strikes, Western elites choose to abandon the rest of humanity and board the giant boat of refuge alone.

Some people think that such a plot is illogical and absurd, but in fact, various phenomena in the early days of last year have proved that reality is more magical than movies.

Now, some senior officials in the United States believe that since such an amazing disaster will happen in the future, it is better to focus on space technology and build a "Noah's Ark" to escape the disaster, rather than making a defense preparation plan with high investment and low return, and its success is completely unknown. .

According to the current progress of space technology under pressure, the latter is obviously more reliable.

Objectively speaking, high-level personnel in the United States are definitely not stupid, but their interests can make people stubborn and even alienate their thoughts.

Although Edgar was not used to such a concept, he was a subordinate after all, so he could not directly refute it in person. He could only choose to use cold facts to cut off the source of this concept:

Wake up, the rapid technological advancement you see is just an illusion.

Compared with the silence of the others, the person on the middle screen was still in the mood to take a sip of Coke, then put his hands on the oak desk, and folded his hands: "ok, Mr. Hobson, please continue your report. ."

He has no interest in the Ark, after all, it will definitely lead to a change in the power structure, which is not good for him as the current commander.

Under Edgar's nodding, the staff immediately switched the screen so that the renderings of the huge underground building complex appeared on the screen behind him.

"This is the information about the underground shelter that our personnel got from the Yan Kingdom. There is no doubt that it is a magnificent underground city with an explosive cost, but almost every important city in the Yan Kingdom is under construction in full swing."

The picture is cut again, and a strange armored vehicle appears on the left, and as a comparison picture, the right side is the exposed exoskeleton armor that has not yet been formed.

"On the left is the new combat armored vehicle that Yan Guo has finalized and started the production line for mass production, and on the right is the individual exoskeleton armor we are trying to manufacture."

"According to our military equipment experts, the former should be some kind of single-person or double-person vehicle, which has a low production cost and can be equipped in large quantities."

...... 0

"This is much more useful than the exoskeleton armor that I made with my brains."

"After all, the latter structure is simpler and more durable, and the production cost is lower, and even if such a block is made of ordinary steel, it can provide more defense for soldiers than a thin-skin exoskeleton."

"More importantly, the Renton incident has given us a lot of inspiration. Equipment composed of sophisticated electronic instruments can easily be paralyzed in a large area by the extraordinary abilities of some monsters."

"Let's not say whether we have the technology to avoid such an impact, even if we can, and let the designer add it to the exoskeleton that has not been completed yet, the production cost is probably..."

Edgar didn't say any more, but everyone present knew it.

In response, the older woman on the far left screen waved the document in her hand: "Mr. Hobson, yes, you have pointed out a lot of problems so far."

"But I would like to ask, as the head of the most powerful department directly under the US Security Council today, and the person who has dealt with the most alien monsters in the US, do you have any reasonable suggestions."

Edgar didn't seem to hear anything else, his face was as usual, his eyes were not squinted, and his back was still straight: "As the director of the ninth district, my suggestion is very simple: learn from the Yan Kingdom."

"According to my team's analysis, it is not accidental but inevitable that Yan Kingdom became the first country to establish a stable relationship with the Aegis and conduct some kind of mutually beneficial transaction."

"Because Aegis, as an extraordinary organization that has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, understands the nature of human beings and the reality of each country better than any country today."

"They deliberately contacted Yan Guo, the country with the strongest mobilization, organization and cohesion, and set an example. Yan Guo's actions are the tacit understanding of the strategic planning of the two sides."

"Obviously, we can't shake the strategic plan of the Holy Shield, which has already seen the future, anticipated the catastrophe of mankind, and may have prepared for it for thousands of years. Of course, we shouldn't shake it."

"So, even though I don't want to, but according to Yan Guo's words, the objective fact is that 'this time is different from the past'. The time has come for the Blue Star countries to learn from the United States and learn from the Yan Kingdom."

Looking at the silent committee members, Edgar suddenly said:

"In today's video conference, there is actually good news to report to the distinguished members on how to gain more extraordinary combat power like Yan Guo."

With that said, Lucas also stepped forward again...

...why.
