You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 137 discusses the establishment of a strategic fortress in the Hakone region for the decisive battle against the Abyss.

"Tell me about it." Li Zhe looked up, gesturing for her to continue.

"While 'anchors of faith' are rare, they are not unattainable." A rational light rekindled in Xing's golden eyes. "Blue Star is vast, and various mythological traces exist across its entire globe..."

Upon hearing this, Kazuko immediately perked up, her eyes gleaming with fighting spirit: "Commander, I suggest we immediately launch a global exploration operation for mythical ruins!"

"Whether it's the pyramids of Egypt, Mount Olympus in Greece, or Valhalla in Northern Europe... as long as you give the order, Commander, I am willing to travel to the ends of the earth for you, slay all evil spirits, and seize all the divine artifacts!"

Seeing her hot-blooded expression, Xing merely glanced at her indifferently, ruthlessly pouring cold water on her enthusiasm.

"Your idea is bold, but extremely inefficient and risky."

As Xing's fingertips traced a path through the air, a vast world map unfolded.

"There are more than 3,000 known mythological sites around the world, most of which are located in rugged and remote areas, and the vast majority of them are just tourist attractions with names but no substance, and do not possess the 'power of rules' that we need."

“Checking each one one by one is like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Kazuko retorted angrily. "We can't just sit here and do nothing!"

“Of course not.” Xing’s lips curled into a smile. “Instead of passively searching, why can’t we… actively create a ‘fishing ground’ that can attract ‘myth’ to descend?”

"A fishing ground?" Li Zhe and He Zi asked in unison.

"Yes, the fishing grounds."

A glimmer of understanding shone in Xing's eyes.

Combining her previous encounters with events such as the "Killing Stone" and the "Soul of Himiko," as well as the rule barrier of the "Land of No Gods" detected on the main continent of Huazhou, she boldly proposed a subversive idea.

"These 'mythical' beings do not appear out of thin air; they seem to be attracted by the 'cause and effect' and 'collective unconscious' of a specific region."

"In other words, as long as we can artificially create a sufficiently powerful 'causal vortex' and 'focal point of faith,' we can attract those 'big fish' hidden in history and legends, just like a lighthouse attracts moths."

This plan filled Li Zhe with excitement.

That's when.

His personal terminal received a pinned announcement from the Registered Mech Pilots Forum: "[United Government Announcement No. 7 Regarding the Global Solicitation of 'Fusang Islands Future Reconstruction Outline']"

The content of the announcement was a departure from the usual serious and rigid style of official documents.

Although it still retains a strong rhetorical tone of parallelism, it reveals a sincere and open attitude, as if it is having an equal dialogue with every citizen.

"Dear fellow citizens of Earth, brave mech pilots:"
The smoke of Operation Sunset had not yet completely cleared when the land of the Fusang Islands, once shrouded in darkness, finally saw the dawn of justice.

The physical enemy has been eliminated, but a deeper and more protracted war has only just begun.

What we are facing is not just destroyed cities and polluted land, but a wound in a civilization deeply eroded by the ghosts of militarism and the abyssal meme virus.

Material reconstruction alone cannot cure the deep-seated spiritual ailments; top-down forced reform is also unlikely to eradicate the malignant tumors deeply rooted in the collective unconscious.

Historical experience tells us that the dam of thought can only be built by thought itself.

The future of a civilization must ultimately be written by the people living on that land, and by everyone who cares about its future.

Therefore, the United Government extends its sincerest invitation to all compatriots around the world who cherish justice and hope.

We have decided to entrust the future of the Fusang Islands to the collective wisdom of the people.

Starting today, the United Government's "Fusang Reconstruction Plan" Office will openly solicit reconstruction proposals from around the world for all aspects of the Fusang Islands' political, economic, cultural, educational, and urban planning.

We set no barriers and have no restrictions on format. Whether you are an experienced urban planner, an artist brimming with imagination, a scholar well-versed in history, or an ordinary student full of hope for the future… every voice you have will be listened to carefully; every brilliant idea you have the potential to become the cornerstone for reshaping a nation's future. What about how to deal with that old Tokyo that has been reduced to wasteland?

Is it to build an eternal warning monument, or to create a future city symbolizing rebirth?

How can we eradicate the lingering militaristic influence in its culture?
Should we replace it with rigorous educational reforms, or by creating a more attractive cultural icon?

How should we plan for its future industrial development?

Should we continue with the old industrial system, or explore a completely new path to coexist with Abyss technology?
There are no standard answers to any of these questions.

We believe that the real answer lies in the collective wisdom of our eight billion compatriots on Earth.

All proposals will be submitted anonymously and will be put to a public vote by people around the world.

The proposal with the most votes will become the core reference for the coalition government in formulating the reconstruction outline.

Fellow countrymen, the remnants of an old era are crumbling before us, and the blueprint for a new era awaits our joint creation.

This is not a simple urban reconstruction; it is a relay of ideas for civilization, a cultural creation that belongs to all of us.

Let us use our wisdom and courage to light an inextinguishable lamp of hope for that wounded land and for our shared future!

July of Crisis Era 1

This announcement is less of an official document and more of a "blueprint for nation-building" filled with idealism.

It accurately captured the global public's high level of attention to the issue of "how to deal with Japan" and cleverly delegated the decision-making power to the public, instantly igniting a global discussion.

In an instant, major social media platforms and forums were flooded with all sorts of imaginative reconstruction plans.

"Commander, our chance has come."

Xing's voice carried a hint of excitement.

Soon, an incredibly detailed anonymous report quietly appeared on the server backend of the coalition government's "Fusang Reconstruction Plan Opinion Solicitation" via a secure quantum channel...

……

Huazhou Beidu, the highest strategic command center of the United Government.

The meeting regarding the reconstruction of Japan has entered a heated phase.

“Even with the special abilities of the mechs, the radiation cleanup in Tokyo will take at least three years. I suggest that it be permanently sealed off and a new site be chosen to establish ‘New Tokyo’,” proposed an elderly European Council representative.

"No! We can't seal it off!" A hawkish general from the military slammed his fist on the table. "We must build a monument on the ruins of old Tokyo, a monument to warn future generations! Let the whole world remember the crimes committed by those madmen!"

"I believe that cultural transformation is more important than physical reconstruction; we must thoroughly dismantle its history and reshape its education system..."

Just as everyone was arguing, a young intelligence analyst stood up with a strange expression.

"Reporting to the leaders... we have received a... very special anonymous proposal."

He projected the report onto the central holographic screen.

When the headline, brimming with chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), came into view, an eerie silence fell over the entire conference room…

Title: "On Establishing a Strategic Fortress for Decisive Battles Against the Abyss in the Hakone Region"
