Live stream: Bragging to an orca, exposed by netizens

Three hours?!

Evelyn Reed's voice was so loud that she wondered if she had misheard.

"You know, using twelve miniature singularities as anchor points for the Earth's crust involves a ton of calculations! It's far more complex than designing a Dyson sphere, really. I couldn't even draw a proper sketch in three hours!"

Hannah Schmidt, who was next to her, didn't say anything, but her fingers paused while typing, indicating that she also thought it wouldn't work.

This is simply not a task that humans could complete.

In the command center, only Shen Fei's voice sounded calm.

"Doctor, I invited you here. Do you think it's to complete a 'task that humans can accomplish'?"

After saying that, Evelyn was speechless, the words stuck in her throat.

She looked at Shen Fei, but the young man didn't even turn around to look at her; his eyes remained fixed on the slowly rotating Earth model.

His tone was neither urging nor pressured; it was as if he were talking about something perfectly normal.

It seems that in his view, spending three hours planning how to transform a planet is a very ordinary thing.

Evelyn's breathing quickened, her chest heaving, because she was angry, yet also felt a strange sense of excitement.

She suddenly turned around and yelled at Hannah:

"Give me a coffee, the largest size, black coffee, triple the strength!"

"Hannah, take over all the backup computing power from the 'Watcher' mothership's mainframe! I need to run a thousand simulated universes simultaneously!"

"Everyone who is not involved, get out of this room now!"

This last sentence was directed at Professor Archibald.

The old professor shrank his neck, wisely picked up his own glass of whiskey, and retreated to the corner sofa, not daring to move an inch.

Kyle stood behind Shen Fei like a statue, as if everything happening outside had nothing to do with him.

The command center instantly transformed into a high-speed machine, much like a battlefield.

Evelyn and Hannah were like two commanders fighting side by side.

"Quickly import the corrected model for the gravitational constant G!"

"That won't work! I've discovered there's a very small chance that stabilizers number five and nine might collapse! Try shifting their starting order by 0.5 nanoseconds!"

"The mantle convection data is too outdated! Have the 'Abyss Walker' scan it immediately! I need the latest thermal flow data from the Mariana Trench!"

"That energy lens is deflected at the wrong angle! We'll roast the whole of Australia alive!"

They spoke incredibly fast, like rappers, spouting all sorts of technical jargon. Hannah's fingers flew across the keyboard, turning their words into lines of code and formulas.

On that huge circular screen, the data was scrolling so fast that it was almost impossible to see clearly.

Only the 3D model representing the "firewall" plan kept flashing and reassembling, but each time it became more stable and more precise than the last.

However, at the very center of it all.

Shen Fei turned around and walked to the other side of the command center.

He connected with David Murray.

"Boss, General Weber from the Tule base just submitted a 10,000-word report requesting that all the resources of the Strategic Command be used to study those twelve obelisks."

David's voice carried a hint of amusement.

"He's probably never seen such a high-class 'delivery' in his entire life."

"Let him study it."

Shen Fei spoke casually, as if those twelve things that could overturn the physics of the world were just toys he casually threw away.

"By the way, how's the acquisition deal with the European Space Agency going?"

"They rejected our offer to acquire a 30 percent stake in the Galileo satellite system," David replied. "The EU considers the project important to them, a strategic asset."

"Then try doubling the price again."

Shen Fei said.

"If they still disagree, then you can use the name of A.H.I.E.L.D. Ventures to launch our own three hundred near-Earth satellites in South America. I want to make their 'Galileo' unusable in three months, turning it into a pile of orbital junk."

David was silent for two seconds on the other end of the phone.

"I understand, boss. I think... they'll agree this time."

"very good."

Shen Fei hung up the phone.

He handled the matter in less than thirty seconds.

He glanced back at the two women who were working like madmen.

The empty coffee cups at their feet had piled up into a small mountain.

Evelyn's glasses were askew, one hand was gesturing wildly in the air, and the other was frantically writing something on the whiteboard.

Hannah's face was very pale, but her eyes were unusually bright, frighteningly bright, and her fingers were typing on the virtual keyboard with afterimages.

They don't look like they're working.

It's more like they're burning their lives and wisdom to reach a realm that only God can touch.

Time flies by under the influence of caffeine and adrenaline.

Two hours and fifty minutes passed.

Evelyn threw away the marker she was holding.

Hannah pressed the last Enter key.

All the alarms and data streams in the command center stopped immediately.

On the huge circular screen, only one model remained, emitting a soft blue light and looking exceptionally perfect.

It's like a work of art hanging in the starry sky.

The twelve black stabilizers, like foundation stones, are precisely distributed at key points on twelve of the world's crustal plates.

Golden energy lines extend from among them, weaving into a vast net at the Earth's core.

Directly above the Mariana Trench, there is a large lens composed of many hexagonal armor plates, facing the dark abyss.

"The final version... is complete."

Evelyn's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper grinding something.

She held onto the control panel, her body swayed slightly, but she managed to stand up straight.

She looked at Shen Fei with a mixture of weariness, pride, and a hint of resentment in her eyes. She wanted to see how this man would react when he saw this thing, after all, it was a product of the combination of top human intelligence and alien technology.

Shen Fei walked in front of the screen.

He looked at the magnificent design, his gaze sweeping over every detail, from the energy core to every single rivet.

The command center was quiet; the only sound was the rapid breathing of the two female scientists.

One minute later.

Shen Fei nodded.

"very good."

He only said those two words.

Then he turned to Kyle.

"Notify the Thule base to prepare, as energy readings may suddenly become very high."

After he finished speaking, he went and reconnected to the communication channel that could travel across the stars and the moon.
