The signalman's words were like a bomb dropped on a calm lake, and the atmosphere of celebrating victory was instantly frozen.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Call all members and gather in the meeting room immediately!"
After the order was issued, the originally noisy base quickly quieted down and a tense atmosphere spread.
The members walked towards the meeting room in a hurry with serious expressions on their faces.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was so depressing that it was hard to breathe.
Mou Xuan stood at the main seat, his eyes swept over everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, we have encountered new troubles. An unknown force that is more powerful than before is approaching."
As soon as these words were spoken, the members' faces turned pale instantly, and their nerves, which had been relaxed, became tense again.
"What? Stronger than the previous enemy?" someone exclaimed.
"This...what should I do?"
"We have finally established this base. Are we going to give it up again?"
Worry, fear, uneasiness, all kinds of emotions spread in the conference room.
Chen Yao walked to Mou Xuan, gently held his hand, and gave him silent support.
"Everyone, be quiet!" Mou Xuan said in a deep voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone, "We must prepare for the worst."
He told everyone the signalman's report in detail, including the enemy's size, marching speed and possible threats.
After listening to the report, Architect Shen slammed the table and stood up. "No! We must immediately carry out a large-scale transformation of the base's defense! The existing defense is simply not enough to resist such a powerful enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Hai defense expert also stood up and refuted: "Nonsense! The defense system I designed is impregnable and can withstand any attack! Carrying out a large-scale transformation now will only waste precious time and resources!"
The two of them were at loggerheads, neither giving in, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.
"I think Architect Shen is right. We must strengthen our defenses!"
"No, what the expert said makes sense. It's too risky to transform it now!"
Members expressed their opinions one after another, and the meeting room suddenly became a mess.
Mou Xuan did not express his opinion immediately, but asked the two to explain their plans and reasons respectively...
Mou Xuan crossed his hands in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, and leaned back on the chair, looking at the two people who were arguing with deep eyes, like a general planning a strategy and waiting for the opportunity.
He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Both of you, calm down and tell us your plans."
Architect Shen was the first to speak, spit flying, and excitedly described his grand blueprint: "The city walls must be reinforced! And trenches must be dug! The more the better! It would be best if the base could be built into an iron barrel, so that if the enemy comes they will have no way back!" He gestured as he spoke, as if he had already seen the scene of the enemy being firmly blocked outside the base.
The Hai defense expert took out his design drawings calmly, pointed at the various traps on them, and said confidently: "My defense system is perfect. It only needs a little improvement to exert its maximum power! Trench walls are all outdated. High technology is popular now!"
The two of them were arguing back and forth, neither of them giving in, like two fighting cocks, eager to decide the winner immediately.
However, as the discussion deepened, they gradually discovered the shining points of each other's proposals.
Architect Shen realized that simple physical defense would be vulnerable to high-tech weapons, and defense experts also acknowledged that solid walls and trenches could effectively delay the enemy's attack and buy precious time for high-tech weapons.
Seeing that the two men gradually calmed down, Mou Xuan put forward his own idea at the right time: "The two plans have their own merits. Why not combine the two, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and create a more complete defense system." He integrated the two plans and proposed a new plan that can not only give play to the advantages of physical defense, but also incorporate high-tech weapons.
Architect Shen and defense expert Hai listened carefully to Mou Xuan's plan, with excitement gleaming in their eyes.
They didn't expect that the two originally diametrically opposed plans could be integrated so perfectly.
The two nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Mou Xuan resolved the dispute so easily and proposed a better plan, the alliance members all looked at him with admiration.
The atmosphere in the base gradually became relaxed, with laughter and joy rising and falling, as if the tense atmosphere just now had never existed.
Just as everyone was immersed in joy, suddenly, a burst of urgent alarms pierced the night sky...
The alarm sounded sharp and piercing, as if dancing on everyone's nerve endings.
Outside the base, flames shot up into the sky and explosions sounded one after another, just like setting off firecrackers during the New Year, except that these "firecrackers" were so powerful that they made the ground shake.
"Oh shit! Are they serious?" The construction worker Xu was so scared that the wrench in his hand dropped and almost hit his foot.
He was happily discussing what to eat in the evening just now, but now his face has turned green, greener than the filling of a chive dumpling.
The vanguard of the unknown force rushed over with a roar, as if they were injected with chicken blood.
Their firepower was astonishingly fierce, with laser cannons, plasma guns, and all kinds of high-tech weapons taking turns to fight as if they were free.
The defense facilities outside the base were like paper and were blown to pieces.
"Oh my god! The firepower is even stronger than the firecrackers from Mr. Wang's house next door!" Architect Shen hid behind the bunker, trembling.
