Chapter 1870: Red Star Destruction Strategy Meeting

Chen Ling’s appearance undoubtedly pushed the atmosphere to its peak.

"Director Chen! You finally returned!"

"Where did you go when you disappeared for so long back then? We waited so hard..."

"Director Chen, I knew you would definitely come back."

"After so many years, Director Chen really hasn't changed at all?"

"Other things haven't changed, but his aura is even stronger; even I can't see through it at all..."

“……”

Everyone immediately surrounded Chen Ling, talking over each other.

"Alright, alright... everyone sit down first," Chen Ling laughed. "I know you have all just awakened and don't quite understand the current situation; I will explain slowly."

After speaking, Chen Ling turned his head to look at Wu Tongyuan:

"Next time you get a haircut, don't jump up suddenly... Image is still quite important."

Wu Tongyuan was stunned, subconsciously touching the "ghost-shaved" patch on his temple, only to find that the chunk of hair that had just been cut off had grown back strangely... as if the accident just now had never happened.

Under Chen Ling’s words, the seven sat back in their original seats, and Chen Ling sat in the innermost position. Everyone was very tacit, sitting in the same positions as more than three hundred years ago. The kerosene lamp’s flame flickered silently on the table, projecting their shadows onto the surface of the tent.

Their shadows were like beacons in the long river of time, spanning an era and reappearing here...

It’s just that there were still two seats in the tent that remained empty.

"Before we start, you all eat this first."

Chen Ling took four pale red chocolate balls from his sleeve and handed them to Yang Xiao, Lu Xun, Qi Muyun, and Wu Tongyuan.

"This is...?"

Yang Xiao took it first, and although he didn't know what it was, he swallowed it.

The others took and swallowed them in turn. Soon, a surging life force emerged in their bodies, and their originally somewhat exhausted and hollowed-out bodies recovered quite a bit instantly.

"Although you have revived, the lost lifespan will not be restored... From now on, you must receive a chocolate ball from me every day to maintain your life," Chen Ling said solemnly.

"This is very important; you must remember, eat it every day."

"Such pure life force." Qi Muyun’s eyes were full of surprise. "What is this chocolate ball... how is it so magical?"

"Do we have to receive it every day? Why not give us a few days' worth at once? To save running back and forth," Wu Tongyuan said afterward.

Chen Ling shook his head:

"This thing is quite special... I can only produce four a day."

"But I will use wall-breaking to send them to you, so you don't need to run to find me specifically; just remember to eat them at a fixed time."

Several people nodded thoughtfully, chatting casually with each other, seemingly still savoring the taste of the chocolate ball.

Only Lu Xun and Chu Changqing seemed to realize something, staring blankly at Chen Ling...

Their gazes were incredibly complex.

"During the time you were dormant, many things happened," Chen Ling spoke again. The moment his voice sounded, the whispering of the people present ended, and they listened earnestly.

"In short, the Calamities that once troubled humanity the most will no longer pose a threat... The various Domains are also on the right track. From now on, there is no need for you to sit in command, and the public doesn't need to worry about ordinary natural and man-made disasters."

"Ying Fu and I have also reached a consensus, and all of humanity has formed a community of shared destiny."

"Next, there is only one most important thing..."

Chen Ling paused for a moment and slowly spat out four words:

"Destroy the Red Star."

Everyone’s expression became serious instantly.

Perhaps even the Sovereigns did not expect that when they woke up again, most of the problems that had troubled humanity would have been solved. The era they were in now was the best and safest... but they also knew very well that this safety was only temporary.

As long as the Red Star was not destroyed, it would come back again and again, until it completely tore apart this hard-won stability that had been obtained after who knows how many restarts.

Chen Ling’s gaze swept over everyone present and said solemnly:

"Everyone here is a top-tier scientist of humanity; perhaps no one in the world understands the Red Star better than you."

"I gathered you all here again, hoping to brainstorm and find a method..."

"A method to completely destroy the Red Star!"

Chen Ling’s words were resonant.

At this moment, the pressure in the entire tent reached its peak. The seven Sovereigns looked at each other, seeing the soaring fighting spirit ignited in each other’s eyes.

Before becoming Sovereigns, they were already top-tier scientists in various fields. They were the first group of people on this planet to come into contact with the Red Star. Now that they had mastered the power of science and stood at the highest point of this planet... with no external Calamities as enemies and no internal wars of division, it was the best time for them to use their wisdom and strength to fight a decisive battle against the Red Star!

"A Red Star destruction strategy meeting, huh..." Ji Xuan squeezed his finger bones, making a clicking sound, seemingly unable to wait. "Very well, no one is allowed to leave until we come up with a method today!"

"I agree," Yang Xiao nodded slightly. "Old Lu already calculated just now; the Red Star’s return is in just a few days... there isn't much time left for us."

"I have no objection either; after sleeping for so long, my brain is almost rusted, so it’s good to move around."

"Actually, I had some simple ideas before... I can discuss them with everyone in a while."

"From my professional perspective, I also have some immature thoughts..."

"How about this, everyone takes turns proposing, and we discuss them one by one."

Lu Xun was the core of the Nine Sovereigns after all, and he quickly finalized the process for this strategy meeting. The others naturally had no objections and took out paper and pens to start brainstorming.

Chen Ling seemed to have prepared everything long ago, pushing a whiteboard in from outside the tent, and then sat at the very edge, quietly becoming a listener.

"I’ll go first." Ji Xuan stood up, picked up a pen, and began to write and draw on the whiteboard.

"In my view, since the Red Star is a celestial body, its internal mass distribution must be uneven. My idea is to use the Higgs boson to directly perform exponential enhancement and weakening of mass on a regional basis, thereby tearing its internal structure and triggering self-collapse..."

As soon as Ji Xuan started, all sorts of obscure and difficult terms began to drill into Chen Ling’s head. He was stunned for a long time, seemingly crashing.

Ji Xuan spoke for a full ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, Chen Ling seemed to have heard a lot, but also seemed to have heard nothing at all...

On the contrary, the other six Sovereigns were all holding paper and pens, looking at the dense formulas on the whiteboard, falling into deep thought.
