Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 1499 Linked Domains Can Leverage Power
The Fumu appears to be located underground in the central city, but in reality, half of its body is located within the field space, and the entire surrounding area also presents a semi-field shape.

And the one outlet that connects this half-field is the fusion zone.

Besides being the central hub of information in the central city area, Fumu is also responsible for consolidating the rifts throughout the entire Jibei Road.

Any rift that is not maintained by rituals or specific conditions can be contained once it appears.

If there weren't these large and small central cities around the world, the entire world would probably be riddled with countless rifts by now, and countless extraterrestrial beings could rush in through these rifts.

Since the algal oil revolution, biotechnology has exploded. Thanks to the significant increase in food production, the world's population has been on the rise, which has also led to a continuous increase in the number of central cities.

Even so, due to the uneven distribution of population, there are still many uninhabited areas in the world, which is not enough to close all the gaps. Those places are also very easy for the other side to infiltrate, and are now the hardest-hit areas for various cults and conspirators.

But in Jibei Road, Jin Guogang would never allow such a thing to happen under his watch.

Through the special boundary token he wore near his ear, he could clearly see that the immense spiritual power of the Fumu, like an exceptionally viscous cloud of rosy light, was rising upwards. It merged with the spiritual power of other large-scale field creatures in the central city, forming a solid and firm defensive line that enveloped the entire world.

Even if he only glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of this magnificent spectacle, it was enough to awe people.

"Chief, should we go down and take a look?" the secretary asked from the side.

Jin Guogang waved his hand, "Leave professional matters to the professionals." He was only there to express his opinion.

He rose through the ranks from a low-level administrative official in Da Shun, and he knew that no matter how strict the rules were, there were always loopholes to exploit, and that some people would be lenient with you if you weren't watching them closely.

After waiting for two hours, the technical supervisor came up to him and reported: "Commander, no problems have been found yet. This inspection may take a little longer."

"How much time is needed?"

"It will take at least four hours, and it can be completed before 5 p.m.

Jin Guogang said, "Okay, I'll wait for the results here." He told his secretary, "Send me the documents that need approval."

His actions did put a lot of pressure on the technicians below. They conducted a thorough inspection, and at 4:30 p.m., the person in charge came to report again: "Commander Jin, no problems were found. The mother seems to be the same as before."

Jin Guogang asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"

The person in charge hesitated for a moment.

“Speak your mind directly. I’d rather resolve the issue beforehand than try to fix it later.”

The person in charge said, "Some problems cannot be judged based on appearance alone. If we want to be completely at ease, we must put the mother dog into a period of dormancy and then conduct a comprehensive examination."

Jin Guogang immediately asked, "Will this affect the World Ring?"

"Not really."

The person in charge said, "We are just making it converge its field. The World Ring mainly relies on spiritual power for support. Even if it falls into a deep sleep, it will not cause any impact. However, the convergence of the field may result in a period of time when information and communication cannot be transmitted."

Upon hearing this, Jin Guogang's expression turned serious: "How much time will this take?"

Two days is enough.

"Two days..."

Jin Guogang frowned. Putting aside the fact that the city's information and communication basically depend on the city's infrastructure, Jibei Road is located on a key part of the skyline. Once the information field is constricted, it means that the entire skyline will be affected. Not to mention that the work of various departments will be affected, traffic may be in chaos, and the economic losses will be incalculable.

He can issue administrative orders in his capacity as governor, but he will have to bear all the consequences. If no problems are found, his political future will certainly be ruined.

Is it worth taking this kind of action for such a trivial situation?
Perhaps it wasn't a big deal in the first place, so why make a fuss?

Alternatively, he could report it to his superiors and let them decide on the matter. In that case, even if problems arise, he wouldn't have to bear full responsibility.

He sat there deep in thought, while the person in charge and the secretary stood silently to the side, not daring to make a sound to disturb him.

After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "Bring me the records and reports of the mother of the deceased."

After receiving his authorization, the secretary hurriedly went to the archives to retrieve it. This kind of document is not displayed on the information interface; it is only kept in paper form.

After receiving it, Jin Guogang took a look and found that similar problems had indeed occurred before, and they were also very short-lived.

It occurred once in the 35th and 52nd years of the Jianzhi reign, and the reasons were clearly stated. One time it was caused by the immaturity of the field equipment, and the other time it was caused by a large fissure appearing at sea, which was later absorbed and formed.

But precisely because of this, the Fumu adjusted and evolved on its own. For over forty years since then, such a situation has not occurred again, because the Fumu can evolve on its own unless it encounters a new problem. After a long while, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up and walked out without a word. The person in charge and his technical staff exchanged glances, while his secretary hurriedly followed behind.

Back in his office, Jin Guogang used his active consciousness to check all the facilities in the central city and inquire whether they could support the city's information and communication without the help of the Mother.

The reply indicated that it could support about 60%. In order to deal with the division and reproduction of the female worm, a large number of field organisms were mobilized and purchased. Some of them were later rented and resold, while others were placed in the warehouse as reserve equipment.

After reviewing the situation, he felt that Jibei Province not only had the equipment but also had experience in dealing with information gathering. Therefore, as long as the equipment was properly deployed and requisitioned from the public, it would not be a problem to support the region for two days.

This will test his abilities.

After thinking for a long time, he wrote a letter and earnestly instructed his secretary: "Send this to Advisor Chen in Zhongjing."

The secretary was somewhat puzzled when she received the letter. If she wanted to contact that Consultant Chen, even for the sake of confidentiality, she could use a telegram or telephone, but a mail would take at least five or six days to arrive...

But he didn't ask any more questions and went to mail the letter immediately.

After he left, Jin Guogang said to the active consciousness: "In my name as the Chief Executive of Jibei Province, please contact the chief executives of each district. I request that a field meeting be held as soon as possible."

Half an hour after he sent out the meeting request, the heads of government from the central cities connected to the skyline appeared one after another on the field screen.

Yang Zhen, the newly appointed governor of Hadong Province, had worked with him before and asked, "Old Jin, what's the matter that's so urgent? I have something to do, and I only have twenty minutes at most."

Jin Guogang said, "Old Yang, then you'll probably have to wait a while."

Yang Zhen knew him well. Hearing this, his expression turned serious. He gave a few instructions to those behind him, then turned back and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

About ten minutes later, all the administrative officials whose skylines covered the central city finally appeared in front of the screen.

Jin Guogang didn't waste any time. After offering an apology, he explained the current situation and informed all the political leaders:
"In order to conduct a comprehensive inspection, the information field of the Fumu will be interrupted for two days. During the process, I will use other field equipment to replace it, but the information intensity will inevitably be affected, so please be informed to make preparations."

Each political leader had a different expression. To cut off information for two days for the sake of a field signal and to risk their political life for it seemed extremely unworthy. However, they were all people sitting in the same position, and even if they did not agree with his choice, they could understand it.

Yang Zhen then said, "Old Jin, I think it's the right thing to do. The matter of field creatures is the lifeblood of Skyline and cannot be taken lightly. However, since Skyline is involved, it's not just your business anymore."

Actually, thinking about it, the large-scale field creatures in each central city haven't been properly managed or monitored for decades. We don't know exactly when the Great Collision will arrive, but it's getting closer every day. I think we should take this opportunity to have all the field creatures in our Skyline region conduct their own inspections and submit them to the State Council for approval.”

He looked at everyone and asked, "What do you all think?"

The governor of Haedong Province was the first to speak, saying, "I agree."

"I agree."

"agree."

"agree."

With the governors of each major city expressing their agreement, Jin Guogang's personal decision was transformed into a political activity involving a collective vote, thus resolving at least a political crisis that would have affected him personally.

Jin Guogang nodded to Yang Zhen, and then said to all the political leaders, "Thank you all."

“The skyline is inherently interconnected; helping Chief Jin is also helping ourselves.”

However, just as they were speaking, the screen in the field suddenly flickered, showing signs of signal instability, which everyone noticed.

Everyone's expression turned serious. Now they no longer thought that Governor Jin was making a mountain out of a molehill. Moreover, if there were problems in Jibei Province, wouldn't there be problems here as well?
Since everyone had things to do, after confirming this, they said goodbye and left.

"Old Jin," Yang Zhen said before leaving, "I think you could send a telegram to Vice Chairman Qi. He used to be the governor of Jibei Province and has always been very concerned about Jibei Province. You might as well talk to him about this matter again, and perhaps he can give you some advice."

The best solution would actually be to inform Consultant Chen, but that's still uncertain, and he figured Jin Guogang would have thought of it, so there was no need for him to remind him.

Jin Guogang said, "Thanks, Lao Yang." After the other party disappeared from the field screen, the secretary returned and replied, "Political Chief, the letter has been sent."

Jin Guogang nodded, glanced at his watch, and said, "Notify all department heads that there will be a meeting in ten minutes."
