Chapter 83 Global Electrification and the Concept of the Training Camp

While the survivors of Crane Deer City were immersed in the celebration of victory, thousands of miles away, deep underground in the Dragon Abyss Supreme Command Center, an emergency high-level meeting convened in a relatively relaxed atmosphere to commemorate the great success of "Operation Dawn".

Inside the conference room, the lights were on, and a huge electronic screen displayed a strategic map of the area surrounding Helu City, as well as summaries of the frontline battle reports that had just been received.

The attendees were all core leaders of their respective departments. Although each of them looked tired, their eyes shone with an irrepressible excitement.

Li Zhenguo, who chaired the meeting, spoke first, his voice filled with obvious excitement.

"Comrades, first of all, I have some good news to share. Just recently, 'Operation Dawn' was a complete success!"

"Our army launched its first proactive attack and successfully destroyed the No. 3 miniature abyss beast nest 'Nightmare Eye' in Helu City, annihilating a large number of abyss beasts, and keeping casualties within the expected range. Currently, the troops have safely returned to the settlement."

Although news of the victory had already been sent back via coded telegram, the announcement by Li Zhenguo at this moment still elicited a chorus of gratified exclamations from the audience.

Several leaders spontaneously clapped lightly, instantly easing the tense atmosphere.

"Great, well done!" a leader in charge of industrial production couldn't help but exclaim. "If we can recover a few more industrial and mining areas later, the pressure on our basic material supply will be greatly relieved."

The elderly man in charge of propaganda had a complex expression on his face, a mixture of joy, emotion, and shame.

He pushed up his glasses, coughed, and said, "This is a landmark victory with extremely significant meaning. It proves that the Abyss Beasts are not invincible and that their lairs can be destroyed."

He paused, then said, “I suggest that this good news be broadcast immediately to all settlements across the country. We must clearly tell them that we have not only defended our territory, but we have also fought our way out! We have successfully recaptured the Luming District of Helu City and fired the first shot in humanity’s counterattack.”

"I agree."

Another leader immediately echoed, "Now is the time for confidence, and this victory has come at just the right time."

At this point, the leader in charge of foreign affairs adjusted the microphone and added, "I believe this message should not only be broadcast domestically, but also broadcast globally."

All eyes were on him.

He continued his calm analysis: "Just like we mentioned in the last meeting, we should release key information together to create a multiplier effect."

"In the telegram, it is not only about the destruction of the first Abyss Beast Nest, but also about the fact that our side has the first 'Stardust Level' powerhouse, and has complete video footage of him personally participating in the nest destruction battle."

“We welcome interested parties from all countries to come and exchange ideas, observe, and even make copies.”

"certainly."

He paused slightly, his tone calm yet carrying a certain confidence: "How they got here, and whether they had the ability to cross the dangers to reach us, that's another matter."

"I think at least some of the neighboring countries might be able to find a way to get here in time, after all, they also have their own traditions."

This was nothing short of a calculated move, both flexing its muscles and setting up a trap.

The proposal was immediately approved by the majority.

In a time when the world is plunged into darkness, being the first to light a torch and emit light is of unparalleled strategic significance.

Li Zhenguo nodded: "Very good. The propaganda and foreign affairs departments should immediately draft the telegram. The content should be accurate and impressive. After review, it should be sent out as soon as possible."

The first issue was quickly agreed upon.

Next, the meeting moved on to the second, and more crucial, topic.

The representative from the General Staff picked up a newly received encrypted briefing and spoke with a grave expression:
"According to the urgent report sent back by Comrade Nie Chang from the front line, they discovered information about a device called the 'Vortex' Type I Deep Space Energy Condenser in the seven-colored crystals they obtained after destroying the nest."

He briefly introduced the function of the device—to extract deep-space energy and create a high-concentration energy region on the Earth's surface.

"Based on Major Lin Yi's analysis, and combined with the fact that the 'Yuanhai' Type I energy crystal manufacturing machine was inefficient, we can basically conclude that Major Lin's conclusion is true."

"Our planet Blue Star has an extremely barren natural energy environment, which is the fundamental reason why our cultivation is difficult and our manufacturing efficiency is low."

"And the 'Vortex' Type I deep-space energy condenser is the key to solving this core dilemma." The announcement caused a brief stir and hushed discussions in the room.

Everyone present could clearly understand what this device meant.

"Comrade Nie Chang is currently carrying the crystal back at full speed and is expected to arrive as early as tonight," the General Staff representative added.

Li Zhenguo's gaze swept over the attendees, and he asked in a deep voice, "Research Institute, Equipment Department, Logistics Department, what are your thoughts? What are your preliminary recommendations for handling this deep-space energy condenser?"

The leader of the Equipment Department spoke first, his tone urgent: "I suggest we find a suitable location immediately to set it up and put it into use as soon as possible. Ideally, we should choose a location that can make efficient use of the entire coverage area of ​​the instrument."

The head of the logistics department was more cautious: "Setting up the facility is inevitable, but the location must be absolutely safe, far away from the nest territory, and we must also take into account the installation of the 'Source Sea' facilities that are paired with it, as well as the potential needs for future expansion. This will be the core of our core, and we must not fail it."

At this point, the head of the research institute raised a different opinion.

"Distinguished leaders, I think that the 'vortex' does not necessarily need to be linked to the 'source sea'. From a scientific research perspective, I believe that the significance of this device goes far beyond energy production."

He organized his thoughts and explained using an analogy: "Based on our research on the 'Fundamental Guiding Techniques of Source Energy,' it is essentially a discipline that guides the human body to perceive, absorb, and transform external source energy."

"However, it now seems that if the external environment itself is almost 'waterless,' then teaching someone to 'swim' based solely on written descriptions would undoubtedly be hellish."

He glanced at the crowd and emphasized, "But what if we could create an environment with abundant water, allowing our soldiers and researchers to be immersed in a high concentration of energy, constantly feeling and experiencing the flow of energy, and absorbing energy with every breath?"

"Then, I think their efficiency in understanding guidance techniques, successfully getting started, and even rapidly improving will be unimaginably enhanced! This solves the problem of the source of fresh water."

This metaphor is simple to understand, yet extremely profound.

The room fell silent immediately, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if even the object of perception is extremely faint, even the best techniques will be less effective.

The representative from the General Staff then took over the conversation and made a suggestion.

"Our General Staff believes that, given the current grim situation, we urgently need to cultivate more and stronger Source Energy Awakeners, especially more high-end combat forces like Major Lin Yi."

"Could we consider establishing a special high-level talent training camp centered around this 'Vortex' Type I?"

"From the entire army, and even the whole country, select a group of promising, fast-growing, and loyal individuals, concentrate the best resources, create the best environment, and conduct short-term training to accelerate their entry into the field of energy?"

This proposal immediately piqued everyone's interest.

Concentrating superior resources to create the sharpest blade among sharp blades is undoubtedly an effective way to cope with even more severe challenges in the future.

Li Zhenguo pondered for a moment, then nodded: "The idea of ​​establishing a training camp is very constructive. However..."

He then changed the subject, saying, "Source Energy Cultivation is still a completely new field for us. We need more professional advice on how to operate it, the selection criteria, training methods, resource allocation, and so on."

He looked at the communications officer: "Immediately connect to communications in Helu City. I want to speak directly with Major Lin Yi and hear his opinion on this matter. He is currently the one among us who understands source energy the most, and his opinion is crucial."

"Yes!"

While waiting for the communication to connect, Li Zhenguo seemed to remember something, looked at the representative from the General Staff, and asked:

"In this Dawn Operation, Major Lin Yi first selflessly handed over the 'photocopier,' and then played a decisive role in the battle, making outstanding contributions. What are your General Staff's considerations regarding his reward?"

This question once again drew everyone's attention to the meeting.

How to reward a hero whose abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, who has made great contributions and possesses core knowledge is a new issue that needs to be carefully considered under the new circumstances.

　After a lot of review, there will be an extra update at 10 pm.
