Upon returning to his office, he disregarded his need for rest and immediately instructed "Dragon" to present the latest intelligence on the Abyss Continent, which he then examined with great care.

After reading the entire report, he nodded in approval of Commander Su Mu's approach and signed his name on the plan, leaving behind his biological characteristics.

With the First Leader signing off on Plan D, it officially came into effect and was issued as a formal order to various worlds and related companies.

Apart from the western and eastern war zones, the other exhibition areas in the main world secretly sent soldiers who had passed political vetting to transit stations through various means to begin supporting Ansel.

After receiving orders from higher authorities, various enterprises producing launch vehicles, ballistic weapons, satellites, escort equipment, army equipment, etc., immediately arranged relevant production. However, due to industrial upgrading and equipment renewal, they were unable to reach full production capacity in a short period of time.

After completing all preparations, they took the ETO forces and other support units, as well as combat and support units from other orbital bases, and traveled to the planet Tanis through the space gate located at the lunar base, and then to the Anselt District through the Tanis transit station.

The "Dragon Kingdom" space battleship, which remained in the NieR world to provide support operations and serve as a training ship to train personnel sent from the country, returned to its lunar home port under Shi Qiangyi's command. After maintenance and resupply, it will also head to Ansel to provide support operations and satellite deployment missions.

On the planet Tanis, to which Base 3049 belongs, it also undertakes some production tasks, but mainly serves as a transit point for the 300,000 best-equipped, most advanced and elite troops stationed there, as well as personnel and supplies. With the arrival of personnel and equipment from various worlds, it has become extremely busy, but it operates in an orderly manner without any chaos.

The Abyss Continent, Ansel Special District, located in the defense operations command center of the main city, Yizhou North City.

Commander Su Mu watched as the numbers of the support units appeared in the holographic projection, all of which entered the relevant defense zones according to plan, as one of the personnel who had made contact with the high-dimensional universe civilization.

He understood the importance of the Abyss Continent to the organization, and from the moment the plan began, his tense nerves could finally relax a little.

However, his expression remained solemn. After consulting with scientists, advisors, and other personnel, and based on existing intelligence and the analysis of the abyss points where spatial fluctuations were observed, it was concluded that this large-scale abyss counterattack was conservatively estimated to start at tens of millions of people. No one knew the final number.

Similarly, scientists have deduced from this backlash from the abyss that it is highly likely that the abyss also possesses consciousness. If this is indeed the case, then we will be trapped in a long-term situation of facing continuous attacks from the abyss.

The initial pressure will be immense. They will have to hold out until the satellite navigation and positioning system and satellite communication system are established. Once they are established, it will be time for their counterattack.

But if he couldn't hold on, Su Mu sighed, remembering the top-secret order he had seen.

The organization would have to temporarily abandon this world, evacuate all personnel, and then proceed slowly. Once it reached this point, the losses to the organization would be immeasurable, and many plans would have to be modified. Therefore, they had to hold on no matter what. Su Mu's eyes were firm.

Chapter 149: The Most Charming Beginning!

The people of Anseltie, seeing the soldiers constantly appearing, knew what they were about to face, but they were neither panicked nor worried.

Instead, they did what they could to help, firmly believing that the organization would achieve final victory and end this dark and desperate era.

In the office building, the deputy, Illidil, had become even more beautiful. At this time, Illidil had also shed her naivety. Although she was not old, in the main world she would still be a girl who should be in college and enjoying the wonderful campus life. However, because of her special identity, she had become the deputy in charge of managing a special zone at a young age.

Her long career has given her the aura of a leader, and no one would look down on her because of her age. When the number one commander chatted with the other two in private, they all marveled at how outstanding Illyr was in terms of both character and other talents.

Under her management and with the help of teachers sent by the organization to impart various knowledge to her, the entire Ansel District was managed in an orderly manner, and no problems arose even during this special period.

The overall social order remained stable, which was partly due to the people of Ansel Special District's trust in the Dragon Kingdom, but Illidil's achievements were also evident to everyone.

With everyone working together, all the plans are progressing as scheduled, and preparations are being made to deal with any unforeseen and sudden counterattack from the abyss.

……

Yang Dong and his companions in the 1999 world had no idea that at this crucial moment, they had reached a critical crossroads. After the small conference room meeting that day, Yang Dong and his companions, along with Mr. Li and the others, went to the coordinates assigned to them by the organization to conduct an on-site inspection.

After determining the location, Yang Dong and his team began to set up some concealed monitoring equipment and silent defense equipment around the area. They placed a quantum computer in the air-raid shelter as a server and connected all the devices wirelessly, thus completing the simple defense and monitoring system.

Looking at these various devices that he had never seen before and whose purpose he did, Mr. Li, filled with curiosity, did not disturb those who were setting them up. Instead, he went to Yang Dong, who was sitting on a rock that had been moved from somewhere and looking at blueprints.

After learning the purpose of Mr. Li's visit, Yang Dong showed a look of realization. He explained to Mr. Li what they were doing, and then introduced him to the functions of various systems and instruments, such as thermal imaging system, night vision system, motion capture system, IFF system, automatic defense system, etc.

Upon hearing Yang Dong's introduction, Mr. Li's eyes lit up as he looked at the equipment. He asked Yang Dong, somewhat embarrassed, if he could have one of them. Yang Dong nodded and agreed to give him a more comprehensive defense and monitoring system, but noted that no one would know how to use it.

Moreover, the entire set of equipment was very large, including a small arc reactor energy core. Yang Dong could only call Wei Cheng and a technician who had come with them, explain the situation, and then go back with Mr. Li, who was grinning from ear to ear.

Yang Dong knew without asking what Mr. Li wanted this equipment for. Although the Premier had led his intelligence agency to begin an internal purge after receiving the information they brought, there were still quite a few enemy agents who wanted to do something big, so Mr. Li and his team were under considerable pressure.

And so they began working day and night as bricklayers. Of course, there were also many construction robots helping out; they were the main construction force, but because the air-raid shelter was small, their numbers were not many.

But Yang Dong wasn't working underground at this time; instead, he changed into a uniform from this era, which of course didn't have shoulder insignia.

In He's office, and others also went to change, because it was already 9 a.m. on October 1st, the eve of the ceremony.

Due to work commitments, the two men were not present at the previous meeting. After reviewing the top-secret documents from later generations that Yang Dong had brought, they were specifically summoned to inform the two men of Yang Dong's and others' identities.

Because the two of them would have to take on some military matters later, when they learned the news from their seniors, their worldview was shattered—in today's terms—and they had to confirm it several times before they could barely believe it.

However, they only truly believed it after seeing the quantum computer left behind by Yang Dong and the commander, who had already learned how to operate the computer, demonstrating some things to them.

Today was the first time the two had met Yang Dong. After a brief and friendly conversation, Zhu Ming looked at Yang Dong and sighed, "I never imagined that the way battles were fought in later generations would turn out like that."

...

His eyes were filled with longing, "Information technology!"

"Yes!" the veterans exclaimed. "When I first saw it, I was really shocked. I never imagined that war could be fought like this. Then I thought, if we don't make changes, the consequences of encountering such troops in the future are terrifying."

"But if we want to develop, we must first deal with domestic issues. Right now, our internal situation is still a mess, but with the information provided by later generations, we can avoid many detours."

"As for the various supplies needed, including teaching materials, we have already prepared them all," Yang Dong said. "Now we are just waiting for Project Zero to be completed."

Everyone else nodded. They had all seen the complete plan and recommendations formulated by the 2019 dimension, which took into account all aspects.

Yang Dong's team members also changed into their costumes and arrived here. They chatted with the three of them about their views on various matters while waiting for the ceremony to begin.

……

While Yang Dong and the others were excitedly waiting for the ceremony to begin, on the Abyss Continent, Su Mu, who had been busy all night, was just about to lie down and rest when the alarm suddenly went off.

Su Mu jumped up from a folding bed in the command center with a start and rushed to the command console. "Xi He, what's wrong?"

Chapter 150: Fear from the Abyss of the Universe!

He rubbed his face, took out a bottle of energy potion and a bottle of stamina potion and drank them down. This was the third bottle of energy potion and stamina potion he had used in a day. This was already the maximum dosage he could take in a day. If he used any more, he would be overdosing, but he couldn't care less about that now.

"Senior Su Mu, I've detected a new development at the Abyss Space Connection Point," Xi He said. "Something has happened near the Abyss Connection Point..."

"A large number of abyssal demonic insects have begun to appear near the abyssal connection point. Since their discovery, their total number has exceeded 300,000 and is still increasing rapidly."

Xihe displayed the images transmitted back by the airship monitoring the connection point to Su Mu. The red dots on the images were increasing rapidly at an exaggerated rate. "The existence of the Abyss Spider, Abyss Serpent, and Abyss Bone '493' Dragon has not yet been detected."

Su Mu rubbed his throbbing temples and sighed, "Does this mean the Abyss is about to launch an attack?"

"Based on the current intelligence analysis, this is the situation under Commander Su Mu," Xi He said.

"Summon everyone to my place immediately." He said this as he strode quickly toward the operations room.

"The order has been given."

In less than three minutes, all the commanders of the participating troops arrived at the operations room. After everyone was present except for a few support troops that had not yet arrived, Commander Su Mu said, "Xi He, explain the current situation to everyone."

“Okay, Su Mu,” Xi He said, and then began to introduce the latest intelligence to the group leaders present.

When they learned that the number of Abyssal Demon Worms had climbed to a million and the rate of increase had begun to slow down, everyone frowned, knowing that the Abyss's attack was about to begin.

After Xihe finished introducing the latest intelligence, Commander Su Mu said, "Everyone, what are your thoughts?"

After a brief discussion about the current situation, everyone agreed that the first wave of attacks was just a probing attack by the Abyss, and the real attack would likely begin in the second round.

As for whether the subsequent attacks will involve creatures they've never seen before, nobody knows. All they can do is remain highly vigilant and react accordingly. The current discussion revolves around whether to send the guard force to launch a preemptive attack and reduce their numbers.

Su Mu nodded and agreed to the proposal after considering the pros and cons. Doing so could reduce the number of Trisolarans to some extent and also alleviate some of the defensive pressure.

Once it was confirmed that all troops had entered their respective defensive positions in accordance with Plan D, the positioning and navigation satellites completed full coverage of the operational area through orbital maneuvers.

The five destroyers that were originally scheduled to explore Spirit Island in the open ocean postponed their exploration and replaced the ammunition of their vertical launch systems with long-range cruise weapons for support.

After the air strike plan against the assembled Trisolarans was finalized, everyone adjourned and began preparations, with all troops officially transitioning from combat readiness to wartime status.

Alarms sounded at two super-large guard bases located on the outskirts of Taipei City, the main city of Isaac. Pilots wearing specially designed power armor filed out and rushed to the tarmac.

After completing the takeoff equipment, the fighter-bombers took off simultaneously in a two-aircraft formation under the command of the control tower. One after another, the fighter-bombers carried napalm bombs, cluster explosives, and high-yield aviation explosives to complete the takeoff.

The entire sky was covered by the gleaming silver warplanes. After completing the formation, the fifty bombers and fighter-bombers advanced toward the designated rendezvous area.

The escort formation, consisting of twenty fighter jets and J-11 fighters, launched from another airport, also set off towards the designated airspace after completing its aerial formation, and joined the bomber formation to carry out the escort mission.

As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes. Just as the bomber formation was rendezvousing and heading to its target location, Xihe sounded the alarm once again.

"Warning: The Abyss has begun to move." Countless arrows appeared on the holographic map, and the final destination of the arrows was Ansel's location. "At the current movement speed of the Abyss Demon Worms, they are expected to enter the first explosive zone defense line at 2 hours, 37 minutes, 33.52 seconds. The estimated contact time is 2 hours, 52 minutes, 46.79 seconds."

The explosives zone defense line was established after Plan D was implemented, with garrisoned troops retreating to the only transportation route leading to Ansel's location. Explosives were then deployed from aircraft, explosives-carrying vehicles, and manually placed explosives along the original defense line.

Together with the previously deployed explosive field, it formed a super explosive field with more than 600,000 various explosives covering the entire attack route of the Trisolarans.

Upon hearing this news, everyone knew that the war had officially begun. Su Mu immediately issued a new order: "Xi He, immediately notify the bomber formation to change its combat target and launch an attack on the Abyss Vanguard Force to slow down its advance."

The subsequent bombing plan is your responsibility. There is only one operational objective: to continuously inflict casualties on the Abyss Forces' personnel and reduce the pressure on subsequent defensive operations.

At the same time, the unmanned air defense units and drone combat forces behind them will also be under your command. You must ensure that they form a defensive network capable of withstanding aerial attacks.

"The latest operational orders have been issued."

"Received the latest orders and began to formulate the latest bombing plan. The plan has been completed and issued to the relevant combat units."

"We have taken over command of the unmanned air defense forces and unmanned combat aircraft forces, and all unmanned combat defense forces have entered combat status."

"Commander Su Mu, the latest orders have been executed." Xi He reported to Su Mu after completing the latest orders.

"Thank you for your hard work, Xihe."

"The duty lies."

Su Mu looked at An Tianming and An Yan, who had taken off their white coats and put on their mage robes, and solemnly said, "The command of the mages is now in your hands."

An Tianming nodded. "Leave it to us."

These mages are incredibly wealthy these days. Mithril, which was originally scarce in this world (pure titanium), is now more than they can use after receiving support from several worlds. The amplification runes on their robes are all drawn with pure titanium wire.

Furthermore, they discovered that the energy blocks could contain magical elements, and after inscribing magical runes on them, they could freely manipulate them. This discovery drove the mages absolutely mad with excitement.

Therefore, all the spellcasting equipment and auxiliary equipment they use now, such as staves, are made of energy blocks, not to mention the mental energy recovery potions used to restore their depleted mental energy.

Now it can be drunk like water, unlike before when you'd feel bad about wasting a bottle. And there are all sorts of new magic tricks being developed.

Chapter 151: A Dark Cloud Looms Ahead!

After reading the report, the number one commander asked, "Dragon, is there anything wrong with their plan?"

"Report: I have confirmed with Xihe and performed relevant calculations. The results are consistent with Xihe's calculations."

The leader nodded, looking at the report which concluded with a probability of about four percent, and thought it was indeed worth a try.

"Dragon, tell the Ansel base command that all operations during the defensive battle will be arranged by them independently, without remote command, but the operational plans must be filed," he said.

"Command received, being sent..."

"Sending completed."

He nodded, then lowered his head to continue working, silently hoping that everything would go smoothly from now on.

While Yang Dong and the others, whom he was concerned about, were heading to the 'Nirvana' base, Su Mu received the latest instructions on the Abyss Continent and nodded.

He also considered that the command would do this. The quantum communication was still under construction and the situation here could not be grasped in real time. If every matter was reported to the commander, problems could easily arise.

After showing the latest imperial order to all 10 people, Senior Wang instructed, "Xihe, issue the latest experimental orders to 'Wangyue,' 'Buzhoushan,' and 'Longguo,' and send them the newly formulated second set of experimental plans."

"The 'Wangyue' ship will be in charge, while the 'Buzhoushan' and 'Longguo' ships will provide cover."

"The command has been recorded and issued."

Su Mu nodded and continued to discuss the possible situations they might face with his advisor. Xi He continued to monitor the real-time situation at the Abyss Connection Point and prepared to record the various data obtained after the probing of the two unknown new Trisolaran creatures.

All three warships received the latest orders. After reading the latest orders, Captain Yan Hua of the "Wangyue" asked his staff, "How far is the abyss connection point from the maximum range of our ship's electromagnetic gun and weapons?"

"Captain, the maximum range of our electromagnetic railgun is 3 kilometers, and the maximum range of our weapons is 1.2 kilometers," the staff officer reported.

Yan Hua nodded. "I order my ship to advance three kilometers. Once it enters the maximum range of the electromagnetic railgun, select three of each unknown species and use tungsten carbide armor-piercing projectiles and active destructive elemental weapons respectively."

It will also launch attacks using conventionally armed weapons, coordinate with Xihe for data collection, and inform the command center and the ships 'Buzhoushan' and 'Longguo' of our ship's decisions.

"Yes, Captain."

After receiving confirmation from the command center and two other authorized parties, the main engine of the "Mochizuki" started, propelling the massive warship slowly forward.

The soldiers resting on the ground watched as the three warships slowly advanced. Although they were curious, none of them asked why they were moving forward. Instead of worrying about why they were moving forward, they were more concerned with getting some rest. The command center had just announced that a second wave of abyssal attacks was brewing, and that there would be even more of them.

It's tough on the engineering corps and air force, as they have to redeploy the minefields. All 600,000 explosives were destroyed in the last battle.

Furthermore, without these explosives, they might not have finished the battle yet. They would need to prepare more ammunition and batteries to avoid a situation where they have ammunition but no power or no ammunition but no power. If that happened, it could be fatal.

After advancing three kilometers, the "Mochizuki" brought the abyss link point for data collection within the range of the electromagnetic railgun.

Captain Yan Hua began issuing orders: "The No. 1 and No. 2 main guns on the upper part of the ship will lock onto the No. 1 and No. 2 Abyssal Six-Legged Monsters respectively. The No. 1 main gun will be loaded with tungsten carbide armor-piercing rounds, and the No. 2 main gun will be loaded with active damage rounds. The No. 1 vertical weapon firing unit will lock onto the No. 3 Abyssal Six-Legged Monster and use conventional explosive weapons."

"The No. 3 and No. 4 main guns on the upper part of the ship are locked onto the No. 1 and No. 2 Abyss Giant Beetles respectively. The No. 3 main gun is loaded with tungsten carbide armor-piercing shells, and the No. 4 main gun is loaded with active fragmentation ammunition. The No. 2 vertical weapon launch unit is locked onto the No. 3 Abyss Giant Beetle and uses conventional explosive weapons. The main guns on the bottom of the ship are on alert and ready to respond to any emergencies."

"Report: Loading complete, target locked."

"Very good!" Yan Hua nodded in satisfaction, watching everyone complete the preparations quickly and accurately. "Where are the three airships?"

"Report: The three airships are five minutes away from reaching their designated positions."
