Chapter 24
The situation looked very serious. Shen Jian paused for a long time at the central screen, the main ship that was almost identical to the "Fire Seed", and his mood fluctuated rarely during the three months of combat readiness.
...He was angry.
He felt like he was in a state of rage as if the toy he had carefully selected for his child was snatched away by the ungrateful child of a relative and the relative refused to return it, and his family members even grimaced and refused to compensate him.
Shen Jian maintained a calm expression, but spoke in a low voice for the first time after entering the command room: “The stolen things can’t even be made completely.”
No one in the command room responded, but they all turned to look at the data. The 150 warships that the Medieval side was experimenting with were all classified as the Wuyan Tower A-level experimental launch project, and were under the jurisdiction of more than 20 cadres of all sizes.
When this analysis data was automatically printed out, the command room had changed from being as noisy as a vegetable market to being as silent as a cemetery.
There are too many people involved.
If they had doubts about their cadres' betrayal before, now they had nothing left in their minds. This was almost obvious...
Large-scale betrayal of leaders by subordinates could happen in any organization, but it would never happen in the Wuyan Tower where Shen Jian was.
They all looked at Shen Jian, who was calm in the corner, waiting for something tacitly. The researcher closest to him met Shen Pingyan's eyes, then slowly raised his head to look at Shen Jian, and then quickly lowered his head.
Shen Pingyan stood not too far from Shen Jian, with his hands in the pockets of his white lab coat, his expression as calm as Shen Jian's.
After waiting for a while, Shen Jian, who had a splitting headache beside him, had no time to care about these trivial matters and said nothing.
Shen Pingyan turned his head to look at the leader who closed his eyes and slacked off again, as if he had just remembered his identity as the commander-in-chief. He took a step forward and shifted everyone's attention to him.
"I think you all understand what's going on now, assuming you haven't been dulled by the comfortable life."
He slowly glanced at the people who had just relaxed and exchanged glances since he spoke, "Then I'll just say it straight."
"Considering the recent rumors in our tower, ladies and gentlemen, we have more than one Shen Xiuzhu who has been targeted by them. More than 2,000 of our subordinates have had their scientific research results and personal information stolen by the Middle Ages."
After a pause, Shen Pingyan slowly took off his thin white lab coat - he had spent a full ten hours in Shen An's lab last night - he was still wearing the military uniform designed by Shen An, "I won't say anything more. I believe everyone here has their own sources of information and can guess it."
Shen Pingyan pushed his glasses up, “Those who can’t guess won’t be here.”
“Oh, Shen Pingyan, you mean, we have the top-ranked political and diplomatic talents and defense systems in all research labs, and nearly half of our personnel have had all their information stolen?”
"What have you civilians been doing these years? You haven't even farted a word."
The long-haired female researcher who had been recording data raised her head and asked in an irritable and annoyed tone, bending one leg and slamming her military boots on the table with a loud bang.
"Calm down, ma'am." Shen Pingyan didn't seem to be offended at all, but Shen Jian opened his eyes and glanced at the scene.
This was not Shen Pingyan's fault, but Shen Jian could not defend him now, and he believed that Shen Pingyan could handle it. So he closed his eyes again and deconstructed the front-line layout that was about to unfold.
The faint colorful light emitted by the two-dimensional screen rotates quietly, not affected by the explosive atmosphere of the room at all. Even the hidden lights are soft and very warm. There is a skylight at a high place, and the sunlight shines down from above, warmly illuminating half of the wall inside.
But under the dome, the ground, which seemed extremely empty with hundreds of people standing or moving, was like a knife cutting and wind splitting, tearing the person who interrupted into pieces.
"Wake up, everyone here has been eating shit in the past few years. If we count, those who are qualified to step into the command room are all those who have not been to the second floor of the Wuyan Tower in recent years."
"……?"
What? What did Shen Pingyan say to eat?
Shen Jian silently opened his eyes and looked at Shen Pingyan who had said something shocking. The latter noticed the leader's gaze and pushed his glasses nonchalantly, as if he was still the rigorous and restrained civilian.
Shen Jian sat up straight. He didn't dare close his eyes anymore. He had to keep a close eye on his subordinates. He didn't want to start a fight among his own people before the war started.
The long-haired woman stopped talking, closed her eyes, took out a piece of candy that looked like a cigarette from the inner pocket of her black and red military uniform, put it in her mouth and rubbed it, then said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry, I'm really angry, I'm taking my anger out on you, because of my own incompetence."
Her eyes, burning with fire, were fixed on the warship that rose into the air once again from the Middle Ages. She couldn't help biting the candy, which snapped into two pieces. "Middle Ages! Damn him!"
Shen Pingyan walked to the commander's seat and sat down, and began to call up a series of three-dimensional holographic communications. The laser blue that began to appear inside and outside surrounded him, and almost the entire position was blocked by data. He locked his eyes on the data communication of a certain medieval camp and responded nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, we all know."
"By the way, you are not allowed to bring your own food into the command room, but this time is an exception."
The long-haired woman rolled her eyes and put her other leg on the table as well, causing some muffled laughter from the people around her.
The corners of Shen Jian's mouth curved up, and after looking at the command room that had returned to normal order for a while, he suddenly said, "Are you still angry?"
Shen Pingyan pressed the button for automatic calculation and looked at Shen Jian. The other researchers also put down their work and looked at Shen Jian.
"This is normal, everyone. In fact, I am not angry either." Shen Jian did not look at anyone, as if he was talking to himself, "But in fact, I am even a little happy now."
It’s better to say that Shen Jian is really very happy.
Medieval used these things to prove that he could compete with the Wuyan Tower, but he also exposed these things. Shen Jian meant the information implied behind these things.
This proves that the original owner did give the item to the Middle Ages, that is, it shows that Shen Jian was indeed the leader of the Wuyan Tower four years ago.
For the first time, Shen Jian felt that the sky was so clear, even though he could only see a ray of sunlight through the skylight.
But soon Shen Jian stopped thinking, and when he came to his senses, he saw that everyone was looking at the middle of his shoulder.
So Shen Jian smiled, picked up the wine that Solomon had been placing on the tray and gestured slightly, "Celebrate first, everyone has won the first battle."
In the silence, Shen Pingyan had already stood up and calmly replied on behalf of the command group, "Bring you victory, sir."
.
Shen Jian had just seen off Xu Yinmo and others who had boarded the quantum transmission instrument, and was caught by Shen An to work overtime together.

Shen Jian complained softly: "Can you guys be less aggressive?"
Shen An didn't know whether he heard it or not, and he directed Solomon to take out the cookies, "I heard that you like to eat this recently~"
"...Who told you that?" Shen Jian curled the corner of his mouth and watched Solomon put the cookies next to him, and also gave him a plate of apples.
"Thank you, Solomon, I'm very happy." Shen Jian smiled weakly. If the apple was not peeled into the shape of a bunny, he would be happier.
Shen An replied softly, "Of course I've been involved in a lot of things, so I know a little bit about all the information."
Okay, he didn’t run away. This guy must have heard his complaint just now.
Chen Jian sighed, and talked about business with sadness and resignation, "It seems that the Medieval camp is already aware that the Medieval camp has the technology of the Wuyan Tower. Then the reward that the Medieval camp promised to the other camp should be part of the Wuyan Tower's technology."
Shen An stopped laughing, "This one is united, like a tortoise shell with no news at all."
He meant that the medieval camp knew about the technology of the Annihilation Tower in the Middle Ages, and those organizations probably defected to the camp because of this.
“Benefits don’t have to be hidden well, and only this news has not been revealed at all. The sand in the clam shell thinks that anything it sees can be turned into pearls with some effort.” Shen Wenyan, who was holding a tea saucer in one hand and placing the teacup on it, said gently, watching Shen Jian smile softly.
"But our leader guessed it, didn't he?" Shen Wenyan whispered.
Shen Jian did not comment, "Mo Yi looks down on our... huh? No, Mo Yi looks down on my policies."
The original owner continued the previous policy of not having an annihilation tower, but simply did nothing or simply ignored it, perhaps because the change would arouse suspicion from his subordinates, just like Shen Jian was afraid that his subordinates would discover the suspicion at the beginning.
To be honest, Shen Jian thought about it and realized that controlling the balance and having a diplomatic tendency that was friendly to civilians were indeed things he would do.
Shen Wenyan's expression changed, "You blind thing, look at the current situation before you speak, what is he doing this for?"
They could all see that Medieval used this obvious provocation to question Shen Jian: Why should we maintain balance?
He was sure that Shen Jian would not disclose the weapon manufacturing method to his own camp because of the balance he insisted on, so he chose to make it public.
"In this case, the strength of the organizations that have obtained some of the Wuyan Tower's technology will increase, and the previous balance will be broken. He believes that it is impossible for us to disclose the technology to all organizations in order to maintain the balance again." Shen An's voice became softer and softer, like a breeze blowing through the bamboo forest.
Shen Jian lowered his eyes and carefully wiped off the ink stains on his hands, seemingly not commenting on it.
Shen An didn't need to respond. He stared at a certain point in the void. "Well, good plan. If we make our technology public, the world will be balanced again, but it will also become a powder keg that can explode at any time."
After all, how powerful the Wuyan Tower is, and once its technology is made public, all organizations will become just as powerful.
In the Middle Ages, technology was only disclosed to one's own camp, which could both declare that one had the same military force as the Tower of Invincibility and throw the situation into chaos.
If a few organizations are stronger and the others are weaker, the balance will be broken forever. As for whether the Tower of Invisibility will provide the same things to other organizations to achieve a balance?
Then we have to consider whether the Middle Ages will continue to provide more powerful weapons to a few organizations - until the whole world still has the strength of the Wuyan Tower.
Shen Jian had just finished wiping off the ink marks at this time, and he had only one opinion about the above conversation, "Have you finished talking? Do you know what Xu Yinmo told me now?"
The two nodded indifferently.
Shen Jian said calmly, "The Middle Ages had many hidden cards, but he didn't dare to play this card. Don't take it to heart, everyone."
Shen Jian said, “You all are my trump cards.”
The Tower of No Annihilation only has one card.
But this card is better than any other: for example, they know that their leader was stolen by a thief for four years.
So they hid some things.
"There are still two hours before the ignition buffer zone on the front line will be officially detonated." Shen Jian waited for a while and slowly turned on the tower-wide communication, "Everyone, level one alert."
