It doesn't matter if experts from all over the world criticize this exchange; compared to the interests of extraterrestrials, these idle chatter are nothing.
The success of the first phase, the upcoming "Safe Zone Plan," and the handling of diplomatic relations with the Azure People all require immediate discussion among the three nations.
Judging from the time it took to succeed in the first phase, the strength of the regional expeditionary force landing troops far exceeds that of the abominations, and the cleanup efficiency may be even higher than expected, so nothing can be delayed.
Even if there were contingency plans in place, they still need to be discussed in practice, and a substantive solution needs to be developed regarding the attitudes of other countries.
Although the Three Kingdoms currently represent humanity, they cannot represent humanity forever. Their attempt to maintain and monopolize this advantage is not only unlikely to succeed, but the discovery of two cases of psionic awakening infants in China is a breakthrough in uncovering the secret. Although there are currently no similar cases in the UK and the US, it cannot be said that they do not exist.
A monopoly might also alienate supernatural human forces like the Dark Sanctuary and the Immortal Abode, because they are essentially all for the benefit of all humanity, only with certain biases among them.
Therefore, some countries may be lucky enough to be among the winners of this meeting, depending on whether those countries are worth the effort of the three countries. If any one of the three countries objects, their qualification will be immediately rejected.
Because of jet lag, the actual meeting was on the third day.
The following evening, at a state-level hotel in Kyoto, a group of representatives from China, the UK, and the US gathered in a conference room on the 28th floor.
There were more than 60 people from all three parties, and the Chinese staff were distributing virtual reality headsets to each of them.
One of the elderly Americans, holding a helmet, asked a question.
"Virtual reality technology is indeed amazing, but won't there be vulnerabilities in its internal network? The level of security this time is quite high."
The Chinese representative smiled and answered his questions.
"my country's independently developed virtual reality technology is extremely reliable. Lingxing Company is a military simulation special agent unit, and its technology is the most reliable in the world. Please rest assured. Moreover, seeing Youlan Star in person will also be of great reference value to our judgment."
"You've built all those models on the Blue Star in just two days?"
A British scholar was slightly surprised; he had some knowledge of synthetic models.
"I can only say that the progress of technology is beyond our imagination. Well, if you are all interested in virtual reality technology, we can study it together in the future. Now let me get into today's topic."
"Please put on your helmet and press the run button. The line has been set to internal military supply and will not log into online games."
All the members of the three kingdoms did as instructed.
Two minutes later, in everyone's consciousness, the starlight of the universe was constantly traveling, and in a very short time, it reached a star system.
They found that they could not feel their bodies for a while.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the star system where the Azure Star is located. It is in the Andromeda Galaxy, 2 million light-years away from Earth. Now let's go down."
As a realistic feeling of weightlessness came over them, everyone plummeted onto the surface of the Azure Star.
It was then that they realized they had virtual bodies, but all of them were dressed in suits.
"GM privileges activated for all members."
A synthesized voice rang in everyone's ears, and they immediately found themselves with many new virtual privileges, including teleportation, pausing and replaying in small spaces, quantum vision, and flight capabilities.
"This is so convenient! I can't believe China's virtual reality technology has advanced to this level!"
Exclamations of praise rang out from time to time, but everyone quickly got back to work.
The combat process of the landing force in virtual reality was also recorded, as well as some other details, such as the environmental conditions of other places on the Blue Star, the current status of the Blue People, the various survivor settlements, and the distribution of the Abominations.
After three hours of individual and group observation, all members gained a completely new understanding of the situation on Azure Star.
Some people even learned a phrase or two of the Blue People's language.
When everyone took off their helmets and sat upright in the conference room again, they already had their own mature suggestions for the subsequent plan.
Everyone wrote their opinions on an electronic tablet, and then specialists selected the most similar ones.
Finally, thirteen key points were summarized, which were almost unanimously agreed upon and passed.
Even including the three hours in virtual reality, the efficiency of this meeting was unprecedented.
After each party sends the results back to their respective senior management for final confirmation, they proceed directly to the supplementary agenda.
This was because the meeting ended much earlier than expected, so it was discussed incidentally.
The question is whether to select some suitable countries to join the "World Tree Alliance," and if so, which countries would be suitable?
The main proposals came from France, Russia, and some other countries that had good relations with each of the three countries but did not have any fatal conflicts with them.
For example, the conflict between the US and Russia is similar to the previous conflict between the US and China, mainly concerning economics and global influence, which are not really issues.
It is quite obvious that no one from countries like Japan and South Korea even mentioned it. Although they are allies with the UK and the US, both countries are aware of some of China's emotional issues and have no reason to upset their current close friends for the sake of a former junior partner.
Even Germany, despite being a major instigator of World War II, maintains relatively good relations with countries around the world today because of its sincere attitude and the fact that Britain and the United States relied on Germany to contain the Soviet Union for a long time after the war.
...
Three days after China issued the invitation, a formal academic conference was held at a national conference center. The conference went on all day, reaching some familiar conclusions and signing the same old agreements.
It seems that the main part of the exchange meeting is almost over, and what remains are just some supplementary programs.
However, during this period, some delegations from various countries are destined to be left speechless.
After repeatedly confirming the authenticity of the newly received information, numerous delegations, disregarding the fact that it might still be night or dawn in their own countries, insisted on speaking with the national leadership immediately with a strong attitude that could be described as exceeding their authority.
Although we only learned a little bit about the "real Earth" and didn't even know about the existence of the Blue Star, it was already shocking enough and also provided answers to some inexplicable things on Earth.
Especially after learning that China, the United States, and the United Kingdom each have close supernatural partners.
Russia harbors deep resentment over the Gustung explosion in Siberia, unaware that a human guardian force had perished there.
If that organization hadn't disappeared in that incident, would Russia also have had a powerful, pro-Belarusian supernatural force working closely with it? Perhaps Russia could have been a founding member of the World Tree Alliance!
After Britain made some conditions and repeatedly pleaded with them, China reluctantly added Britain to the list of founding members of the World Tree Alliance.
During the three-day academic conference exchange, France, Russia, and Germany, along with China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, a total of six countries, held several private discussion meetings.
Advances in virtual reality technology have allowed personnel from France, Russia, and Germany to personally experience some of the terrifying forces on Earth.
Due to the recent surge in gaming addiction and instances where individuals have difficulty distinguishing between reality and games, the government has mandated that virtual reality headsets on the market have reduced their realism to around 80%, which is essentially better than top-tier single-player console games.
The gaming headsets that started being exported in late March are also in this state. So, unless other countries have deliberately followed China's virtual reality technology from the beginning, they cannot fully understand the extraordinary nature of virtual reality based on the current market offerings.
However, the information equipment used in this meeting was a fully simulated recreation, a true reenactment of history, including some real-world test footage of the Goddess's Wrath event and the Fountain Suit, which overturned many people's worldviews.
The World Tree Alliance has many conditions for joining, and apart from some standard ones, each one is somewhat excessive or even harsh. Delegations from France, Germany, and Russia have been frequently communicating with their respective countries, and there is also an intention to send special envoys over to negotiate.
The conditions are harsh, but whether or not to join is a question. The answer is that even if it means tightening your belt and squeezing out your own breast milk, you have to join.
This is a fast train for humanity on Earth. If we miss the opportunity to board at this stop, the losses will be so severe that our country's successors will condemn the dereliction of duty by their predecessors.
Therefore, they dared not refuse those conditions, and could only raise objections to a limited extent.
Fortunately, China, the US, and the UK did not go too far, which fully established some privileges of the Founding State and gave other countries the opportunity to negotiate.
However, without a supernatural force closely related to them, they cannot access some key information, let alone establish contact with the World Tree Council.
China, Britain, and the United States saw this through long ago; to put it bluntly, they've simply recruited a few stronger allies.
...
On the planet Azure, the three legions executing the safe zone plan have cleared out several cities adjacent to the three landing points, as well as all the abominations within an irregular circular area.
Although it's still a long way from liberating the entire planet, at least in these three places, the Blue People no longer need to worry about their safety.
The numerous relief supplies brought from Earth also provided the Blue People with life-saving sustenance.
Food culture is a major feature of Earth. Compared to the monotonous food of the Blue People, the variety of delicious military canned goods and food made the Blue People wonder if they had been eating pig swill before.
However, the basic rations were obviously not as delicious as some canned meat or the freshly cooked food prepared by the Chinese soldiers who knew how to cook.
To receive better treatment, you must demonstrate your value.
For example, they could contribute their mechanical and academic knowledge; in other words, they could search for technical information in abandoned cities while also getting the elite among the Blue People to cooperate.
Although it has only been a few days, the design and operation of some of the Blue People's sophisticated instruments have given Earth's scientists a fresh perspective from a side viewpoint.
Many difficult technical challenges have sparked new inspiration.
This includes the Starship program, which has already been transferred from the Dark Sanctuary to the United States, China, and the United Kingdom for joint research, and many of its technologies can be replaced or resolved.
Although the most critical technology for preserving fusion reactor materials has been mastered by the Dark Sanctuary, other components are constantly pushing the boundaries of technological advancement.
...
By now, we can say that there are no more surprises regarding the direction and control of the Earth's interior.
What needs to be planned is how to lead the entire Earth and, as the "Star Gods," once again "rule the universe."
Sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, judging from the situation on Earth's Blue Star Expeditionary Force.
When those soldiers told the Blue Star people that they were "Star Gods".
Well, how should I put it? Well, you can feel a strange kind of "pleasure"!
Has Earth unknowingly begun to distort its own image?
Wu You shook his head, as if trying to temporarily cover up the huge black hole in his mind. He should get down to business first.
At that moment, he was holding his sketchbook and carefully sketching something.
After a long period of extensive alchemy, especially the repeated use of level 5 alchemy, my alchemy level gradually approached level 6, until the end of the Azure Star landing battle.
The difference between being at level six and having only a few thousand refinement points is now negligible.
There is now a draft depicting the first alchemical creature, drawn with full concentration through meditation.
He has decided to upgrade the system to level 6 soon, and then do his best to create his highest-level alchemical creature to date.
Even with the benefits of several planets and the eradication of numerous abominations, the consumption of 100,000 points per instance is still a painful loss, like cutting off a piece of flesh.
As for the Dark Alchemy Crystal, Wu You planned to make a big purchase only when he could no longer afford the subsequent alchemy needs.
During this period, it is necessary to strengthen one's mental fortitude to avoid going astray.
This "leveling up" alchemy will once again involve a string of fantastical, mystical, or bizarre creatures.
Some were even created purely for fun, to showcase the amazing biodiversity of the world, since they don't care about the extra energy.
Creatures such as angels, unicorns, serpents, and multi-tailed foxes will inevitably appear, since some scenes later on will require professional actors.
Knowing their nature, Wu You figured it would take forever to let the countries around the world gradually reveal their secrets. It would be better to push things along himself.
Of course, the process will be gradual, at least allowing the first batch of people to taste enough fresh crab meat.
As for the most crucial first level six alchemical creature...
Wu You has already made his decision, and it is one of the three major goals he set after obtaining the ability of biological alchemy—the Qilin!
From its initial immature and weak stage to now, in just over a year, Wu You never imagined that he could create the Qilin so quickly.
Even after completing the beginner quests, some were so fearful that they dared not upgrade their alchemy level.
PS: Things were a bit urgent today. I didn't bring any change of clothes or my laptop when I went out this afternoon. I only arrived at the hotel I booked half an hour ago.
Yes, I squeezed in time to type this on my phone, and the process was absolutely excruciating... I typed 4000 words in a daze, which counts as a combined chapter.
I'll be back tomorrow afternoon, and I'll definitely be able to update normally!
Thank you so much to my reader "Crazy Demon" for the generous donation!
