"We must fight back! Even if it means destruction, we must bite them hard and show them that humanity is not to be trifled with!"

The elderly man in military uniform sitting to his left, surnamed Han, suddenly slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and roared.

Sitting opposite him was Shen Tao, the head of the War Preparedness Bureau, a man in his forties with a thin face. He spoke while swiping his fingers across the tablet: "I understand everyone's feelings, but we mustn't let anger cloud our judgment!"

As he spoke, he pushed the latest satellite images onto the main screen.

The image freezes on the edge of the erased area.

On one side is the normal terrain, with mountains, trees, and buildings;

On the other side was an extremely flat blank space, like a mirror that had been cut open, with no transition, no edge collapse, nothing at all.

"These alien civilizations are far more powerful than we can imagine, and none of our existing weapons may be able to cause them any harm."

Taking rash action could have catastrophic consequences for human civilization!

The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.

Everyone knew that Shen Tao was telling the truth; if they took action, the consequences could be the destruction of all humanity!

A female official sitting in the back row, surnamed Lu, from the Strategic Planning Bureau, put down her pen and looked up:

"So we're not going to fight back?"

Are we going to let them run rampant and do whatever they want on Earth?

Are they treating us humans like a buffet, sharing the spoils while wantonly destroying our home planet?

After saying this, she took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and spoke.

"Of course! I'm not suggesting we go to our deaths."


"snort!

"It's all Lin Mo's fault! If it weren't for him, humanity wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophic disaster!"

A middle-aged man sitting at the end of the table suddenly snorted and spoke.

Those present sighed upon hearing this. Indeed, if it weren't for Lin Mo, humanity would not have suffered such a disaster!

Old Zhou glanced at the middle-aged man, but didn't respond immediately. He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then said:

"Lin Mo only made us humans see the cruelty of the universe sooner. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Might makes right. This truth will always hold true. We can't blame Lin Mo. If it weren't for him, we humans might still be living in our comfort zone and never grow up!"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the other side of the long table.

Sitting there was a middle-aged man dressed in dark casual clothes, surnamed Fang, who was the minister of the military's strategic weapons department.

When Minister Fang saw that Elder Zhou was looking over, he nodded and turned the laptop in front of him so that the screen faced everyone present.

"The mastermind had already made the worst-case scenario plan before the aliens arrived on Earth."

Having come this far, we have no choice but to launch this plan!

At that moment, a thin sheet emitting an orange glow appeared on the screen.

"This is the most powerful level 2 weapon fragment we can currently produce, and it is also the biggest find the mainframe obtained while analyzing a level 3 civilization."

Its principle is to reduce all the materials within the coverage area from a three-dimensional structure to a two-dimensional plane.

Objects that have been reduced in dimension do not disappear; they simply become "unselectable" in three-dimensional space, becoming part of a two-dimensional structure. From a three-dimensional perspective, that region will become an extremely flat image, where everything is still there but no longer occupies its original three-dimensional space.

The elderly man in military uniform, surnamed Han, frowned:

"Dimensional reduction?"

Turn people into paper cutouts?

What's the difference between that and death?

The man surnamed Fang shook his head:

"no the same.

The mastermind's research concluded that objects that have been reduced to two dimensions still retain complete physical information in three-dimensional space.

If we can use adult films to bring that area back to three dimensions in the future, everything that was downgraded will be restored to its original state.

People, buildings, everything will return to the state it was in before it was covered.

He paused for a moment.

"At the same time, two-dimensional states are naturally immune to high-dimensional attacks."

In order to avoid invasion or attack from other civilizations, many civilizations in the universe will actively use secondary dimensional spacecraft to reduce their own dimensions, making themselves appear harmless and worthless in the universe.

Therefore, as long as we use a two-dimensional image to reduce the Earth from three dimensions to two dimensions, those extraterrestrial beings will have to leave this star system immediately.

Otherwise, once they are also covered, they will also be reduced in dimensionality.

Unless they have Category III films to defend themselves.

However, even in a Level 4 civilization, Category III films are a rare resource, and the probability of carrying one is extremely low.

The female official surnamed Lu followed up with another question:

"So you mean to use this two-dimensional image to cover the entire area, temporarily compressing everyone and everything into two dimensions, so that those aliens can no longer harm us?"

The man surnamed Fang nodded:

"right.

This should buy us some time.

The length of this period depends on whether the other party has adult films.

"But if Lin Mo receives the information during this time, manages to eliminate these aliens, and even obtains the adult film, then he can pull this space back into three dimensions, and everyone will recover."

He paused, scrolled down the computer screen, and another set of filenames appeared on the screen.

"At the same time, we will also launch the 'Wanderers Project'."

Inform the hundred spaceships currently on missions in space to activate drift mode.

They will drift through the universe, living and dying on their own, exploring breakthroughs in civilization.

Until one day, they mastered the technology of a Level 4 civilization, possessed Level 3 films, and returned to Earth, pulling this space back from two dimensions.

This is also so that we have another backup plan in case Lin Mo is unable to resolve the crisis.

The round table room fell silent again.

Some people looked at Old Zhou, some looked at the old man surnamed Han, and some looked down at their own hands.

What would happen if we reduced Earth from three dimensions to two dimensions is something no one can predict.

The principles that the man surnamed Fang just mentioned are logically sound, but no one has ever truly experienced a complete dimensional reduction and restoration.

The silence in the conference room was no longer one of hesitation, but something much heavier, pressing down on everyone's chest, making them need to spend an extra second before speaking to confirm whether they could still speak normally.

Old Zhou put his reading glasses back on, remained silent for a while, and then spoke:

"I understand. Problems that can't be solved now will be left to future generations. We'll freeze people temporarily, trading time for space, until we're able to thaw them!"

A female official surnamed Lu, sitting in the back row, looked up and asked a question that voiced everyone's concerns:

"What if we don't have the ability to solve this in the future?"

Old Zhou glanced at her and smiled:

"We should trust the wisdom of future generations."
