Dean Huai Ruhe's words did not cause any commotion.

Everyone in the conference hall accepted this fact rationally.

But this does not mean that the mood of the participants can remain calm.

Whether you are willing to believe it or not, the facts are in front of you. What you need to consider now is how to protect the lives and property of the people in the shelter in the face of this cruel reality? And even the continuation of human civilization?

Perhaps with a glimmer of hope, a city council member in a suit and tie asked his doubts: "What happened on the surface is just the one-sided story of this Deputy Captain Lu, right? Has the authenticity been verified?"

There was a small amount of discussion at the scene again, and many people echoed it.

All I can say is that human nature sometimes leads to situations where one tries to cover up one's own mistakes while doing nothing.

The one-eyed man stood up and walked to the stage. "Dear leaders and colleagues, there are nine settlement leaders under the supervision of our second team. We have conducted routine inquiries and concluded that the authenticity of the intelligence is beyond doubt."

"Okay, that's fine with me."

The city council members dressed in suits sat back in their seats in a daze, apparently unable to digest this heavy blow.

It is worth mentioning that after this city council member mentioned Lu Bai, many participants in the conference hall indeed focused their attention on Lu Bai.

The vast majority of human beings do not consider the long-term future, are aware of their own capabilities, and have no intention of carrying civilization forward.

Therefore, they are actually very satisfied with their current life. They have no worries about food and clothing and have a high enough social status.

Although they knew that there was a Mona civilization above humans, what did this have to do with them? I had never heard of a county magistrate being starved to death.

They already had leaders above them, and now it is just one more leader, which will not affect their comfortable life.

There are quite a few people who hold this idea, and many of them exchange glances secretly, reaching a consensus without speaking.

Finally, a city council member with a Mediterranean hairstyle asked: "Can the impact of this conflict be eliminated through diplomatic means?"

As he spoke, his eyes were always on Lu Bai.

Even though he didn't say it explicitly, everyone could hear that he was asking whether handing over Lu Bai would calm the anger of the Mona civilization.

"Cough cough..."

The old man did not get up from the wheelchair, but just coughed twice into the microphone in front of him.

After attracting all the attention in the conference hall, he said a little stiffly: "Let's vote by raising our hands. Those who agree with Councillor Jin's proposal, please raise your hands."

Everyone in the conference hall looked at each other, and soon some people raised their hands, about a quarter of them.

Seeing this, a middle-aged man in an executive jacket in the front row pressed the microphone: "Write down the list and carry out the arrest operation after the meeting."

He is Zhu Taihong. As the director of the security defense department of Shelter No. 9, he can nominally manage all armed forces in the underground city except Cheng Zhiwu.

The old man seemed to have no idea what Minister Zhu was going to do. He raised his hand and pressed it, indicating that everyone could put their hands down.

He then stood up from the wheelchair with some difficulty and walked to the podium with the help of medical staff.

He looked around the room and said in a solemn tone, "I know that those who didn't raise their hands probably don't want to confront the Mona people head-on, but I need to remind you that the Mona people have no good intentions towards us. They left us room to survive only because they haven't achieved their goal yet."

"Once the Mona people get what they want, no matter how much we compromise, they will not leave us here." "This confrontation is bound to happen, it's just a matter of time."

"I know you are afraid and worried, and you think it's good to muddle through like this, and you don't want your peaceful life to be disrupted."

"But I need to remind you that the peaceful life of mankind was disrupted 413 years ago when the Mona fleet arrived on Earth. We were powerless to resist and took away our homes and more than half of our compatriots. The refuges that provide you with a stable life now are just shacks deliberately left by the Mona people."

“This is not about starting a war, because this war has never ended.”

"I ask you to devote your full efforts to this action for the sake of your children and future generations, and for the future of mankind."

"At least this time, we won't be as passive as we were back then."

Frankly speaking, what the old man said was not inflammatory at all.

And because of the aging of his body functions, what he said was intermittent.

However, none of the participants in the conference hall stood up to refute or raise questions at this time. Instead, they nodded in a spectacular manner.

Again, the regime of this underground city is far from being corrupt.

Being able to sit in a high position does not mean one has to be morally flawless, but at least one has enough brains.

After the facts were laid out, they all knew what was the right thing to do.

The old man nodded and turned to look at Lu Bai who was sitting below: "You will lead the next meeting. Please explain in detail how it feels to fight the Mona people."

Lu Bai naturally stood up and gave a detailed introduction.

Although he didn't think it had any substantial effect.

But, for a civilization, it makes sense.

……

The academicians of the Academy of Sciences took notes and asked questions from time to time.

"We can actually make controllable high-frequency microwaves, but considering the marginal effect, we cannot carry out precise strikes at such a distant location."

“Can you figure out the principle of constraint?”

"I can't understand it yet. Theoretically, gravitational collapse can only be produced by stars or interstellar matter, and will eventually form dense stars, such as white dwarfs and black holes. The whole process is irreversible."

“It’s difficult to make a judgment without data support.”

"I requested to go to the scene to check it out. I suspect that it was not a real gravitational disaster."

"What is the enemy's defense? Let's put it this way, if the defense of the isolation door in front of the Masquerade Elevator is one, then what is the defense of the starship?"

"In that case, our means of attack should be sufficient to deal with the enemy's starships, but this is just my opinion. We still need to practice to get the results."

As these academicians were talking to each other, for some reason, the other participants' fear of the Mona people was inexplicably reduced a lot.

Fear often comes from the unknown. When you can peel off this mysterious shell step by step, even if you still know that the gap is huge, you will have the courage to fight. (End of this chapter)
