Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

As soon as the UGM fighter jets returned to their headquarters, a group of science department employees wearing white lab coats ran out of the hangar.

After Gu Chen and his team disembarked from the fighter jet, the scientists from the Science Department rushed into the cockpit without even saying hello, and began retrieving data on the new weapon collected during the day's battle.

Gu Chen didn't pay much attention to this. After parting ways with Daiyama Kazuki and the others, he returned to his office.

Then, he looked at Hoshino Isamu, who was about to sit back down at his workstation and start writing a report.

"Hoshino, put the reports aside for now. Take a group of people to Wang Yue's side and take charge of dealing with the people of the Underground Kingdom."

Gu Chen's appearance and words startled Hoshino Isamu for a moment, then he stopped and said, "Okay, advisor."

Immediately, Hoshino Isamu left the office to take stock of the personnel and carry out the tasks assigned by Gu Chen.

Gu Chen wasn't idle either. After instructing Hoshino Isamu, he quickly went to the Prime Minister's residence through the fast passage below the headquarters base to share specific information about the underground world with Prime Minister Manabe.

After all, he couldn't just say a few words and expect Prime Minister Manabe to handle all the arrangements for the UN General Assembly; he had to come and help.

Furthermore, regarding the emergence of the underground world, he also needs to have some detailed discussions with Prime Minister Manabe and the Chinese side, and draft several contingency plans, so as to avoid having to come up with solutions on the spot if any special circumstances occur later.

In summary, due to Gu Chen's intervention, the plot has deviated significantly from the original storyline.

The contact between the underground world and the surface world is no longer one of conflict, but rather one of cooperation, which inevitably leads to more and more intricate problems.

As the person who knows the underground world best, Gu Chen also needs to be prepared to accept consultations from the leaders of a group of countries, led by the Dragon Kingdom, so that they can determine how to approach the underground world and what kind of cooperation to carry out.

That's why Gu Chen will be quite busy for the next period of time.

Soon, as time went by, the existence of the underground world began to appear on the desks of world leaders, foreshadowing a historic moment.

Gu Chen didn't know what the future of this world would be like, but he was also looking forward to seeing what Earth would be like during the Mebius era.

At that time, with the combined efforts of the lunar people, surface humans, and subterranean humans, to what extent will the Earth Defense Force's strength develop?

It's really exciting.

UGM Headquarters - Science Department

Kaji Yoichi glanced at the data reports on the new weapons submitted by his employees, his brows furrowing slightly.

"Ugh……"

With a long sigh, Yoichi Kaji closed the data report in his hand and then rubbed his temples with his fingers.

The disheartening data made Yoichi Kaji, who was already in a bad mood, feel even worse.

Project Phoenix Nest has hit a bottleneck, and there's not much good news coming from other projects either. Besides Project Phoenix Nest, the repetitive energy weapon project, which he values ​​most, is also plagued by bad news, with no good news in sight.

As Dr. Iwamoto gets older and Mitsuhiro Ichika's focus shifts more towards his family, the responsibility of leading the Science Department falls on Yoichi Kaji's shoulders.

He not only has to shoulder the daily responsibilities of the Science Department, researching and manufacturing the weapons and equipment that UGM needs to fight the enemy, but also be responsible for the training of the next generation of talents in the Science Department.

Otherwise, when he grows old, the science department will not have anyone capable to take over his position. What will happen then?

However, after so much time, Yoichi Kaji still hadn't discovered any geniuses who amazed him, and as a result, he had to devote a lot of energy to handling certain projects.

For example, the anti-negative energy weapon project that is currently giving him a major headache.

"This is really troublesome. We've tried every material we've discovered on Earth that can be used to make weapons, but we still haven't found a way to have a miraculous effect on negative energy."

"If this continues, we can only hope to discover new substances or... some other method."

Yoichi Kaji casually tossed the data report in his hand onto the table in front of him, then stood up from his seat and looked out the office window at the underground city that was gradually coming into operation below.

Yoichi Kaji already has ideas for researching new repetitive energy weapons, and more than one.

One of them is to study the alien materials that Prime Minister Manabe obtained from who-knows-where. These are substances that do not exist on Earth, and perhaps we can discover substances that can target negative energy.

Another approach is to reactivate research into other-dimensional spaces, shifting the approach to dealing with negative energy from elimination to transfer.

During his time with the TAC team, facing the threat of Yapool, Yoichi Kaji unleashed his potential and developed a one-way interdimensional teleportation device.

However, research projects on other dimensions came to a standstill after the Yapool were defeated.

Besides Gu Chen believing that it was not yet time for humanity to explore other dimensions, Yoichi Kaji himself also believed that rashly researching other dimensions would not only yield no results but would also waste his time.

Shortly afterward, Dr. Iwamoto's Phoenix Nest Project piqued Yoichi Kaji's interest, and he stopped thinking about research into other dimensions.

However, nowadays, banishing the indestructible negative energy monsters to another dimension might also be a solution.

Moreover, this method is not difficult to implement; it only requires slight modifications to the interdimensional teleportation device.

However, Gu Chen's approval is required before this plan can be implemented.

With that thought in mind, Yoichi Kaji stopped worrying and strode back to his desk, where he began to write two opinion reports.

Whether to study unknown extraterrestrial matter to find a solution to negative energy, or to banish the negative energy monster through an alternate dimension, that's up to Gu Chen, the highest-ranking officer, to decide.

He's just a scientist; decision-making isn't his place to handle things for now.

……

Night fell quickly. Near Earth's near-Earth orbit, Eddie's figure, flashing red lights, appeared, then transformed into a streak of light and landed at Gu Chen's doorstep.

Smelling the aroma wafting from the room, a smile appeared on Ya's face.

Hey, after rushing around, I managed not to miss dinner tonight.

Upon returning to the Land of Light, he also gained a wealth of new information from the Negative Energy Investigation Team, which he could then share with Gu Chen during dinner.
