Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 232 Depression
Yuanze followed the two captains into the meeting room.

Looking from the door.

The surrounding walls are made of dark alloy plates, exuding a cold metallic luster.

There was almost no natural light in the room, the only source of light coming from a few dim neon lights hanging from the ceiling.

The long conference table was like a black mirror, with a smooth surface that reflected the blurry figures of the participants sitting on both sides.

Everyone was wrapped in shadow, with only their faces captured by the neon light, with a cold, tense expression.

In the center of the table, an old but still functioning holographic projector slowly started up, projecting a blue holographic image.

The constantly changing codes and data streams in the image seem like some kind of encrypted message that cannot be deciphered.

Captain Zhang and Captain Wu found the seats with their names marked on them at the end of the long table.

"Now that everyone is here, you have nothing to do with that kid who followed us. You can get out now."

"Reporting to the Lord of NM02 City, this guy is an investigator sent by Commander Chen from the South. He has first-hand information about the Source Beast City. I think it is necessary to make this information public."

Yuanze felt that he was deliberately taking revenge on him and frowned slightly, but immediately relaxed and looked at the big guys present.

The officers participating in the meeting began to whisper to each other. There had been no progress in the northern theater for so many days, so how could this guy from the south get first-hand intelligence?

"Zhang Ming, I know you learned from Commander Chen, but what do you think of us?"

The second-in-command on the left of the city lord was very dissatisfied and was quite familiar with the origins of Captain Wu.

Now that the truth was revealed, people present started talking again. Wu Minghao also wanted to move away, but unfortunately the stool was fixed to the ground and could not be moved.

"Be quiet!"

As the most powerful person present, the city lord of NM02 still has a lot of weight in his words:
"That kid, if you have any information, send it over so we can take a look."

These data were directly projected onto the central holographic image, including some images taken by Yuanze.

The people present were terrified by the information, and they could feel that it was not fabricated at all. Not only was it detailed, but it also made sense everywhere.

"How did you infiltrate the City of Origin Beasts?"

An officer in charge of the investigation raised a question, and others echoed it.

In their past experience, no matter how strong the camouflage ability of this Source Warrior is, he will be identified and eliminated on the outskirts, let alone approaching the Source Beast City.

"NM01 is lost. Even I can't continue the investigation. Is this question still critical at this time?"

Yuanze naturally knew what they were thinking. He avoided the sensitive points and asked them back with ease.

First, they wanted to broaden their horizons, and second, they wanted to learn something.

But the most important thing is, if it can be disproven, then it means that I have not been slapped in the face by this kid.

But he didn't expect that this young boy in front of him would speak so cleverly and slap him in the face again.

A hint of displeasure flashed across their faces.

"Then I think these news are very detailed and should be true. There is no need to doubt them."

"According to this intelligence, the technology of the source beasts has achieved a breakthrough, and their source energy weapons and combat suits are only one generation behind those of humans. So I suggest that the city lord apply for a strategic retreat."

The second-in-command on the right side of the city lord also spoke.

He believed that NM02 currently did not have the strength to contend with the beast tide attacking NM01, and that it might even be necessary to give up the entire NM province.

Humans must rely on some dangerous places for defense.

"No, absolutely not! If we give up NM01, the several mechanical cities starting with B will face a direct impact and our application will not be approved." Someone raised an objection.

"What can we do? If those source beasts attack NM02 immediately, it will only take them three days to advance at full speed. We have no way to stop them at all." "..."

Everyone started arguing, each with their own opinion, and some even stood up and pointed at the sand table.

It looks like even more people are retreating.

But most of those who refused to retreat were people in high positions.

The city lord said nothing, overwhelmed by the argument.

The city lord took the opportunity to look at Yuan Ze carefully, and looked him up and down several times. Naturally, he could see that he was a very young top-level source warrior.

Especially that unfathomable mental power, which is several degrees deeper than his own.

This made him sigh in his heart that Commander Chen's unique vision in judging people has never changed.

"No matter how much you argue, it's useless. You should just be quiet and listen to the city lord's thoughts."

When everyone heard the words of the two city lord's deputies, they finally realized their own lack of calmness and sat back in their seats.

"I haven't heard enough. Do you want to stop arguing? You're worse than that kid! How about I let him talk?"

No one dared to refute the city lord, as they all heard a hint of anger in his words.

Everyone turned their attention to Yuanze, who was at the last place.

"Ahem, then I'll be disrespectful to refuse. This is what I saw in the Source Beast City..."

Yuanze changed the projection into a sand table. There were two mechanical cities NM01 and NM04 below NM05. The source beast should attack these two directly, and then go straight to the mechanical city of City B.

Because although the source beasts in the Source Beast City have mastered some human tactics, they are still far from being able to use them flexibly.

They would definitely be more greedy and want to directly advance into more critical areas, rather than attacking NM02, a more important mechanical city, in a roundabout way.

If things go as expected, NM04 will fall within two hours, and City B will send a large number of Source Warriors to defend NM05.

and so……

"Even if you have lived in the City of Origin Beasts for a period of time, you can't predict their thoughts. And from a geographical point of view, it is more advantageous for NM02 to fall..."

"Have you been to the City of Origin Beasts, or has little brother Sun Zeyuan been to the City of Origin Beasts?"

The city lord was very dissatisfied with this man's sudden interruption, so he spoke up for Yuanze and then motioned for Yuanze to continue.

"In fact, what we should be more afraid of is the all-round attack of the Source Beast City. You have to know that they only deployed one-fifth of the Source Beasts to attack NM01 this time."

"They can follow them anywhere and carry out attacks in multiple areas, so the intelligence work must be done well."

"Then how can we conduct reconnaissance? We don't even know what anti-reconnaissance methods the source beasts have mastered, and the satellites are completely ineffective!"

The detective officer who had just disagreed with Yuan Ze also raised his own questions, but it was obvious that he respected Yuan Ze a lot more.

"Please look at this information."

Yuanze also kept a trick up his sleeve to prevent himself from losing the initiative during communication.

"The abilities of these source beasts are not fixed as recorded in the data. Instead, we have mastered the underlying scientific principles of the abilities and developed more ways to use them..."

"But the first thing I suggest you do is to cleanse all the disguised source beasts in NM02."

"What!?"

Everyone looked at the new information projected by Yuanze in horror!
