The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

Hearing the sound outside the door, Zhang Daoxuan and Chen Yang exchanged a glance, their hearts skipping a beat.

"Enter!"

After receiving instructions from Zhang Daoxuan, Chief of Staff Zhang Zhen quickly walked in, holding a data tablet in his hand, and his expression was not very pleasant.

"Reporting to the Minister, Star... Starry Sky... There's something going on!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan's brow twitched violently.

He didn't speak, but simply raised his chin, signaling the other person to continue.

"yes!"

After saying that, he quickly swiped his fingers across the data panel, and a holographic projection instantly unfolded above the desk.

It was a three-dimensional star map, with countless points of light moving slowly.

But on the edge of the star map.

Dozens of dazzling red dots are forming a loose formation, slowly approaching the central blue dot representing the Blue Star.

One of the red dots was particularly eye-catching, as it was moving in an unbelievable way.

Each flash traverses a vast expanse of dark space, like playing checkers on a star map.

"Five hours ago, our military's space monitoring unit detected an unusual spatial fluctuation, with the signal source located on the outer edge of our observable sky!"

"Initially, the monitoring team speculated that it was a normal celestial galaxy movement."

"But soon it was discovered that this hypothesis was incorrect, because the other party's movement speed was too fast and did not conform to the orbital patterns of any asteroid."

"Furthermore, the number of fast-moving units is gradually increasing!"

"To date, at least thirty-seven high-speed moving units have been discovered, and one of them is undergoing a series of jumps at faster-than-light speeds."

"After three hours of observation, we confirmed that its flight path completely overlapped with our location."

"Based on our orbital model calculations, if it maintains its current speed, it will reach the Blue Star plane in a maximum of ten hours."

Ten hours.

After all, Vera had just said that Kuyeting might come looking for trouble.

It will take about five days.

Although five days isn't a long time, it should give them more time to prepare. In the end, they were already almost at their doorstep in less than ten minutes.

Anyone would find that outrageous.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense again.

"Walk."

After a long while, Zhang Daoxuan finally let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly walked out.

"Where to, Minister?"

Seeing this, Chen Yang and Zhang Zhen quickly followed behind him.

"Where else can we go?"

Without turning his head, Zhang Daoxuan said as he walked, "Go find Old Li and discuss how to entertain these uninvited guests."

……

Meanwhile, Li Weiguo's office was filled with smoke, as if it were on fire.

When Zhang Daoxuan pushed open the door, he was almost choked by the secondhand smoke that hit him.

Li Weiguo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his back to the door, a cigarette burning almost to his fingertips between his fingers, looking at something.

"You're here?"

Li Weiguo didn't turn around; his voice was even more mellow than the smell of smoke filling the room.

Zhang Daoxuan waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him, walked to his side, and followed his gaze to look outside.

Outside the window was the night view of Sheikha's capital, a dazzling display of lights, like a galaxy fallen to earth.

"You should know the specifics now, right?"

As he spoke, Li Weiguo stubbed out his cigarette on the windowsill, and two plumes of smoke billowed from his nostrils.

Zhang Daoxuan nodded: "I just found out. Those Star Sea Hunters are heading towards our place. They'll be here in the time it takes to fall asleep."

Li Weiguo rubbed his face to relieve his fatigue, then turned his gaze to Zhang Daoxuan: "Old Zhang, what's your opinion on this matter?"

"view?"

Hearing this, Zhang Daoxuan smiled helplessly: "They've practically laid their hands on it, what can I possibly say?"

"Since we know they are the enemy and they are going to attack us anyway, we should naturally prepare for battle. We can't let them use our planet as a target, can we?"

"So... my suggestion is to... burn that thing."

Although Zhang Daoxuan used the word "pointed" to describe it casually.

But Li Weiguo knew how heavy those two words were.

That thing, of course, refers to the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom - The Heart of the Blazing Sun.

Gu Xu brought back from the high-dimensional secret realm the only creation-level barrier artifact currently found on the entire Blue Star.

According to the Supreme Command's original plan, this thing was intended to be activated only on the day the "Blue Star Plane Guardian Alliance" was officially established.

Led by Sherlock Holmes and with the support of other nations on Earth, a world-class protective barrier was activated, announcing to the entire universe that Earth had officially entered the interstellar age.

What an honor, what a grand occasion!

This "Blazing Sun's Remnant Heart" is the cornerstone of the alliance and a symbol of the future.

This is the best proof of Sherlock Holmes' status as the leader of the alliance.

But let's light it now...

"Old Zhang, are you sure?"

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo frowned and said with some worry, "Putting that aside, those guys in the Science Department are still researching that thing, and they haven't fully figured it out yet."

"Based on the data we have so far, that thing is no simple matter."

"Although it can indeed form an absolute defensive barrier covering the entire planet once activated, its energy efficiency is also very high."

"But the problem is that as the coverage expands, energy consumption increases exponentially! Relying solely on Shenxia won't last long!"

"Furthermore, we know absolutely nothing about how its IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system works!"

"What if it attacks our own people, or even people from other countries, as enemies?"

Clearly, every issue Li Weiguo raised was very real.

After all, the power of this creation-level barrier artifact far exceeds the technological level of this plane.

That's not a difference of eras, it's more like a difference of dimensions.

However, Zhang Daoxuan was well aware of these issues.

But he has no choice now.

"Old Li, there's no use in telling me this."

Thinking of this, Zhang Daoxuan turned around and met Li Weiguo's gaze: "I'm asking you, do we have time to wait for those scientists to thoroughly study the instruction manual?"

"Do we have time to wait for the alliance to finish its wrangling and hold its inaugural meeting?"

"Ten hours!"

As he spoke, he held up one finger: "In ten hours, those space pirate ships will be jumping in our faces!"

"Yes, there are many unknowns about the Blazing Sun's Heart."

"But do we have a choice now? Do we gamble on a 50% chance of error, or on a 100% chance of our house being blown open by a single shot?"

"Old Li, we can't afford to gamble anymore."

"If we lose this battle, not only will the Blue Star Alliance be wiped off the map of the universe, but Divine Xia will also be erased!"
