Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

"Boss, all I can tell you is that no matter the final outcome, all we can do now is race against time. Two weeks is indeed a very tight timeframe, and I can't guarantee anything. If we were truly confident, we would have succeeded long ago, and I wouldn't need to explain all this to you."

In truth, Chen Tianfei was genuinely worried this time. After all, he cared deeply about global security. If he rashly gave a positive answer and ultimately failed to deliver, he would become a sinner for all time.

"Ok."

Jiang Chuan hung up the phone helplessly and then informed his superiors of the reply he had received.

"Ask him what resources he needs right now. As long as he asks, I will coordinate and allocate them immediately. Currently, the world's top scientists are all gathered with him. Can't he even manage to schedule enough time?"

"This isn't about the number of outstanding scientists. Even if we gather the world's top scientific resources, it will still take time to overcome the difficulties. Besides, two weeks is the most optimistic estimate he could give. But scientific exploration is full of unknowns, and who can guarantee that everything will go perfectly? If there's an error of one or two days, or if we discover that the theory is flawed and we have to start over, then the entire project may fail. Do you understand?"

After listening, the higher-ups understood the difficulties involved. Determining a specific timeframe as quickly as possible is currently unrealistic.

However, the situation was urgent. After all, the fighting continued every day. If a direct solution to these enemy forces could not be found soon, the entire world could eventually fall into chaos.

Currently, the situation on several major battlefields is far from optimistic. Africa has essentially fallen, with most areas completely enslaved. In particular, the core African powers that are still putting up a stubborn resistance are now teetering on the brink of collapse.

"I have an idea."

Just then, Jiang Chuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"While we cannot provide more assistance in terms of troop numbers, we have many experienced commanding officers. Why not send some to help them solve the local problems?"

"Actually, I think that our country has so many retired military officers who are currently in reserve. If we could reorganize these people and send them to countries around the world that are still fighting, wouldn't our combat effectiveness be greatly enhanced?"

Jiang Chuan knew that he had no other choice but to do this. Because if he really did it, some of his family members might have to be sent to the battlefield.

"However, our country has a large population, and there are countless retired military officers. Although these people may not be as good as active-duty officers in terms of tactics, it is enough if they can help in critical moments."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the higher-ups immediately made a decision and issued an order requiring all reserve officers to cancel their leave.

Once the order is given, these officers must report to the relevant local departments as quickly as possible and be ready to engage in subsequent combat operations at any time.

This can be described as a nationwide mobilization. No one expected this to happen so suddenly. However, once these officers are on the battlefield, their chances of survival are slim, but at least they can organize a fighting force.

Fortunately, in the Great Shang Kingdom today, everyone is still united. In this battle against evil forces, many families are willing to sacrifice their lives and even their deepest feelings for world peace.

To ensure the smooth progress of this operation, the Great Shang Kingdom promoted it through various means, encouraging everyone to actively participate in the battle.

This humane gesture immediately caught Simis's attention. Left with no other choice, he rushed to his superior's office the next day.

"I want to ask, why can't my troops go to the battlefield? We have all pledged our loyalty to you. Are you the only ones fighting now, while we are treated like pets?"

“You’ve misunderstood. It’s not that I don’t want you to go to the battlefield, but your current situation hasn’t recovered. I know you’re all thinking about fighting your way back to Atlantis, but the problem is you’ve only been here a short time. If I send you to Africa now, what will your soldiers think?”

Simis was stunned when he heard what his superior said.

"So you're planning to send your own people on the road while we enjoy ourselves here, right? Do you even consider us human beings? Or do you think we Atlanteans are inherently inferior?"

"No!"

At this moment, Jiang Chuan smiled and took over the conversation.

"We don't want any of you to get hurt. You've all managed to escape here with great difficulty, most of you have left your homes, and many have lost their families in this battle. What do you all want most right now? It's definitely to fight your way back home. So what we need to do now is to ensure the safety of our homeland first. And in the future, we may send more and more troops overseas to carry out missions. Who will protect our country then?"

In reality, Jiang Chuan was just making empty promises to Simis. According to his and his superiors' previous plan, these people definitely couldn't participate in the war at the moment; at most, they would be sent there during the final attack on Atlantis's homeland.

If these people push their luck and start fighting, they might end up becoming "talking topics" and being used to lobby others.

So to avoid such rogue behavior, the two of them devised this plan, using empty promises to keep them waiting.

"it is good!"

Simis had no choice but to go back and wait. However, the global situation was becoming increasingly dire.

The situation has become extremely bad. What should we do about this? It might really bring even greater disaster. Only by seizing the time now and getting everything done properly can we have a chance to solve all the problems.

"Alright then, in any case, we have at least accomplished some of our tasks. But if we want to truly grasp this principle, then it shows that we definitely need more time."

The battle escalated at this moment. However, for Chen Tianfei, this was definitely a long and nerve-wracking process.

The whole world is fighting hard, while he can only stay in this position, constantly experiencing failure and effort. He's going crazy, and he doesn't even know if his research direction is correct. Although the whole world is providing him with help, and has done its best, he always feels like something is missing. And every time the experiment reaches the final step, it fails, which makes him feel extremely frustrated.

As the global war situation gradually deteriorated and everyone was increasingly at a disadvantage, all people placed their hopes on the scientific team led by Chen Tianfei.

But at this moment, Chen Tianfei was on the verge of collapse. Every experiment was about to succeed, but it always failed at the last moment.

He was practically going crazy and couldn't help but roar, "Can anyone tell me where the problem lies? Our theories are clearly correct. Could it be that the research itself or the theory we're using is flawed? What's going on? Can anyone show me the way?"

Scientists from various countries were also at a loss when they saw Chen Tianfei in this state. They were equally anxious and hoped to solve these problems as soon as possible, but the reality was far more complicated than they had imagined.

"Honestly, if this continues, I'll go crazy sooner or later. Everyone knows that the way to help everyone is actually this simple. If we can't even do this, what face do we have to call ourselves top scientists?" If the situation continues like this, the final responsibility may change, and no one can predict how long this situation can last.

Just when things were at their most critical, Jiang Chuan arrived at the laboratory. Seeing that these scientists hadn't slept for days and were all disheveled, he knew how much effort they had put in.

"I'm giving everyone the afternoon off. Nobody should touch the labs, okay?"

"What?" Chen Tianfei was taken aback.

"Boss, we only have less than five days left. If we don't solve these problems quickly, what right do we have to call ourselves the world's best scientists?"

"Not only can you not do experiments this time, you also need to find a way to get back to your lodgings and get some rest. This afternoon, I will take you all to do some relaxing things after you have had a good rest. If anyone is still thinking about scientific experiments at this time and I find out, don't blame me for being impolite."

In fact, the scientists all understood that Jiang Chuan did this in the hope that everyone could change their thinking. Long hours of high-intensity work had dulled their minds and gradually dried up their inspiration.

Therefore, to prevent this situation from continuing, we must temporarily put aside what we are doing and take things one step at a time, doing what needs to be done in a down-to-earth manner.

The entire afternoon was a period of relaxation for many, including Chen Tianfei. Then, that night, Chen Tianfei suddenly had a flash of inspiration, went to the lab alone, turned on the machine, and began calculations. Sure enough, he discovered the problem.

After this experiment, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the theoretical data and the experimental model matched perfectly, and the experiment was a great success.

The next day, when everyone arrived at the lab and saw the successful data model, they were all very excited.

"Next, we need to resolve the data error issue and begin full-scale testing immediately."

In the final three days, after numerous large-scale experiments, the results showed that everything was ready. The crucial moment had finally arrived. To ensure everything went smoothly, the scientist decided to thoroughly review the information he had gathered and quickly get to work.

While no one can be certain how long this method can be sustained, one thing is certain: they have done everything in their power and made thorough preparations. Everyone understands that this may be the beginning of a more important phase.

"That's great. In any case, at least we've figured out the essence of the problem now. If we can really resolve this completely, then we won't have anything to worry about in the future."

Sure enough, at that moment, the first portal inexplicably closed, leaving even the people of the fifth dimension baffled as to what had happened.

"what happened?"

Hamas immediately launched an investigation and found that once the portal was closed, it could not be reopened, at least in the short term.

The situation has become complicated. If things continue like this, the consequences will be unimaginable, and it could even lead to the annihilation of the entire army, which is definitely not a good thing.

Left with no other option, Hamas ordered a rapid withdrawal of its forces. The problem was, once the first portal closed, it was like a domino effect, spiraling out of control. Satellite monitoring revealed that all portals worldwide were being closed one after another.

"This is simply unbelievable! How could humanity have mastered this technology in such a short time? And it's a new technology that our fifth-dimensional world can hardly reach in a short time!" Hamas never dreamed that humanity could make such progress.

"How would I know!" Putt was also very frustrated at the moment.

"What's wrong with you? If you can't handle this, just leave! You were the one who came to me, which is why I followed you to this godforsaken place. And now, I've suffered heavy losses, and you still have the nerve to yell at me!"

……

The two started arguing back and forth.

However, the fighting continues, especially on the battlefield of the Great Shang Kingdom, where the situation remains extremely dire.

"Fellow generals!"

Chen Guodong finally gathered all the generals together. From his expression, it was easy to see that this was a new type of army about to face new challenges.

"Everyone, I know what you're thinking. But please calm down and think carefully. Our world is facing an unprecedented crisis, and you are on the front lines, an indispensable force. Now is the time for you to step forward. Are you going to be cowards?"

Although this was just a simple pre-battle mobilization, it was easy to see that Chen Guodong was quite emotional.

"cannot!"

The soldiers were in high spirits, as if they had been injected with adrenaline. Faced with the various problems currently confronting humanity, they had no choice but to step forward.

"Some people say we're waging some kind of space war. But everyone knows in their hearts where our battlefield is. These high-dimensional beings have nothing to do with space warfare; they're directly invading our homeland. How can we sit idly by?"

"cannot!"

With this, the pre-battle mobilization has come to an end. However, it is certain that finding a more suitable opportunity will require everyone's concerted efforts and joint work.

"This time, it's a global collaboration. Each of our countries must first mind its own business, and then join forces with Jones and his team to reclaim Atlantis. That's our current mission!"

The situation has developed to this point, and the circumstances have changed once again. How should this be resolved? Or rather, how terrible this process will be, is self-evident.

As it turns out, this in itself is an extremely rare opportunity. If we can truly seize these breakthroughs, that would be ideal.

Therefore, everyone knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and there are very few ways to actually accomplish this task.

However, the situation seems to have shifted again. Everyone understands that this phenomenon may be becoming even more crucial. (End of Chapter)
