Necromancer, summoning 055? What the heck?

Chapter 32 A Wanderer's Letter Home

Zheng Ran, who was on break from his shift, opened the buffer door and entered the observation area. However, according to regulations, he could only turn on his own camera, stop outside the safety line, grip the communicator tightly with his knuckles turning slightly white, and nervously watch his two teammates on the other side of the glass.

After Chi Qiu completed the initial safety confirmation of the environment, Lin Xiangdong, who was already wearing full protective clothing, entered the disinfection channel. The heavy connecting door behind him was tightly locked to the middle area.

As you walk through the corridor filled with atomized disinfectant, the cold white mist condenses into tiny water droplets on your face mask and is quickly evaporated before reaching the last fan outlet.

Standing in front of the airtight door, its indicator light flashing a pale blue, Lin Xiangdong turned back again and, through the two observation windows, gave his comrades a clear and firm "Don't worry" gesture. Then, without hesitation, he stepped on the hydraulic door-opening pedal.

A soft hissing sound rang out clearly in the silence. The heavy alloy door slid open silently. Without hesitation, Lin Xiangdong stepped into the inner chamber called "Star Nest."

This place resembles a specially designed steel cage, or rather, an ultra-high-standard interrogation room. The four walls are made of thick, specially treated concrete, and the ceiling and floor are covered with reinforced steel plates. The only connection to the outside world is a huge, multi-layered, explosion-proof glass wall in the observation area.

The Star Nest was filled with a dense array of various detection devices, and indicator lights flashed red and green like stars, emitting a low and regular hum.

Surrounded by this "sea of ​​stars" made of technological light, in the center of the venue, the mysterious teleportation beacon has been fully deployed, steadily projecting a pale blue halo that emits a soft glow.

From an unknown source, milky-white smoke dissipated slowly like a veil, revealing a square package about one meter on each side and half a meter high. At the top of the package, several pages of writing were carefully clipped there.

Lin Xiangdong checked the angle of the camera system and began unpacking it.

When the remaining Cangming leader rushed from the busy Weiyang Palace to the Changle Palace, Lin Xiangdong had already completed the initial search.

Ever since Chen Mo pulled off that "Child's Call" move, the two highest leaders of Dongxia have had to take turns sitting in Chang'an Prefecture on standby, just like a pair of old parents who are worried sick about their unruly child.

Lin Xiangdong unfolded the letter, and page by page, it was clearly projected onto the large screen in the command center.

"The letter from [the wanderer] is very detailed," Lin Xiangdong reported steadily. "He expressed his greetings and gratitude to the leaders, said that he had temporarily gotten rid of the trouble, but his path to study had encountered obstacles, and he was looking for new solutions."

"To repay his motherland, [Wanderer] has sent a batch of local specialties from the Starry Continent that he could access. This is the list of items attached to the letter."

"This transmission was prepared relatively well and had ample time, and is expected to maintain a stable reception window of 72 to 96 hours. However, because [Wanderer] did not use the special potion from last time, the total weight of the transmission is significantly lower than last time."

A few minutes later, Cangming, the leader, carefully reviewed the documents and nodded to Lin Xiangdong, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Proceed with the work according to the established plan!"

"Understood!" Lin Xiangdong and the other two replied in unison.

Of the three, Zheng Ran was the best at linguistics. He was responsible for converting some of the contents of the letter that required expert consultation into the eagle language, and then handing them over to the translation team, who would then submit the original text and the second translation to the Cihang Engineering Department.

These revised texts will be distributed to the planning expert group and intelligence analysis group in the form of a task, and an attempt will be made to provide rational suggestions.

The language of the bald eagle is one of the most widely used languages ​​on Earth, so using it as a cover is quite reasonable.

Chi Qiu was responsible for coordinating with the supporting research team to send materials to various research institutes and laboratories under his command, and to begin the analysis of the imported materials. Lin Xiangdong, on the other hand, was mainly responsible for overall control, supervision, and preparation of the exported materials.

After the three people completed one round of arrangements and cross-checked the information, they officially issued the first mission order since the establishment of the [Compassionate Voyage] Engineering Department, and the entire department immediately went into full working mode.

The Ziyuan leader, who was attending a high-level forum abroad, also took time out of his busy schedule to make an encrypted transoceanic call, giving high praise and full affirmation to the work of the stargazing team.

So far, our Eastern Xia's Ziyuan Tianshu is still in the stage of struggling to clean up Chen Mo's mess.

While the little golden retriever was causing trouble for Chen Mo, the big golden retriever was also causing trouble for Dong Xia.

As the leader of the Bald Eagle Empire, he had countless titles, but the most memorable one was his title of "Stock God".

And the good habit of watching cartoons at a fixed time every night.

Last time, the altar beacon that Chen Mo sent like a celestial being from outer space triggered a stress response from Xia's air defense system. Fighter jets, missiles, and air raid sirens swarmed over Chang'an City in turn. This terrifying scene could not be concealed no matter what.

Just as the top brass of Dongxia were holding emergency consultations, racking their brains to explain this sudden "supernatural event," across the ocean, that ever-always-a-step, always-shocking-sounding Mr. Big Golden Hair had already preemptively and triumphantly spoken out on his social media account with hundreds of millions of followers:
"Look! Our great bald eagle has given the Dongxia people a little shock with a super weapon that is ahead of its time! Obviously, their panic is no better than that of a frightened lizard in the desert!"

"I will make the White Eagle great again! MAGA!"

This statement immediately caused an uproar in the global media!

Although everyone on Earth knows that this leader's speaking style... well, it's not always so rigorous and reliable, the image of the bald eagle, with its long-standing prestige and formidable military strength, is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of the nations of Earth.

If anyone could truly make Dongxia so "embarrassed," at least on the surface, the most likely candidate is indeed this blond-haired man and the White Eagle Empire behind him.

The core strategists of Xia Guo's strategic planning department quickly met, analyzed public opinion for a long time with a heavy heart, and finally came to a helpless conclusion: "Well, there's definitely no way to explain it. Let's save ourselves the trouble of desperately making up excuses to cover up the facts. If you like to take the blame, then take it for now."

As for whether it will damage one's reputation?
Strategists are well aware that when faced with two evils, choose the lesser. Right now, preserving the core secrets of "Stargate" and "Wanderer" is a hundred times more important than winning a short-term battle in the public sphere!
When Xia Kingdom adopted an attitude of neither admitting nor denying, and talking around the issue, global intelligence agencies swarmed towards the Bald Eagle like vultures smelling blood, almost making the Bald Eagle Kingdom's intelligence department cry with anger.

Do we really think we don't know whether or not there are "super weapons"?

This is all about winning in words, shameless and utterly shameless!
Of course, Dongxia lost face, so strategic countermeasures were essential. Ziyuan Tianshu immediately launched a series of intensive overseas visits, and the Dongxia military also cooperated by organizing several large-scale, live-fire military exercises in some sea areas.

On the one hand, it draws the attention of certain unwilling countries and organizations away from the capital of Xia and shifts it to the southeast; on the other hand, it is also a real show of strength to mitigate the potential adverse effects of the "air raid alarm incident" to a certain extent, and to declare to the world: Eastern Xia is as stable as Mount Tai.

Now, all the grievances, the long wait, and the meticulous preparations have finally yielded initial results—the first batch of items from a mysterious other world has arrived in Dongxia!
