Chapter 234 Approaching Crisis and the Alliance's Actions
A tense atmosphere hung over the Alliance headquarters. Faced with the dual pressures of internal conflicts and external crises, the top leaders held emergency meetings for several consecutive days. Ultimately, they decided to adopt a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, to fully address the potential cosmic crisis, and on the other hand, to work to resolve the internal conflicts.
To address internal issues, the alliance established a dedicated coordination group comprised of senior experts from various fields and representatives from member organizations. The group comprehensively reviewed the resource allocation system, using big data analysis to examine each organization's resource consumption, output, and contribution to the alliance's overall development. Regarding the sharing of scientific and technological achievements, a more flexible and targeted plan was developed, allowing for tiered and phased technology sharing based on the different research foundations and development needs of member organizations. After multiple rounds of negotiation and adjustments, a new plan balancing fairness and efficiency was introduced, effectively alleviating the dissatisfaction of member organizations and strengthening the alliance's internal cohesion.
Meanwhile, significant breakthroughs have been made in the study of ancient civilization relics. Historians have successfully deciphered more information on the stone tablets, confirming the ancient civilization's warnings of a cosmic crisis. According to the records in the relics, every extremely long period of time, the black hole at the core of the Milky Way would enter an active period, releasing powerful energy tides that would sweep across the entire galaxy, tearing apart planets and threatening the destruction of civilizations. And now, all indications suggest that the black hole's active period is imminent.
In response to this unprecedented crisis, the Alliance swiftly activated its contingency plan. Military forces were fully mobilized, and the Starfleet was placed on high alert. Engineers worked around the clock to urgently upgrade and modify warships, enhancing their shield strength and energy reserves to withstand potential energy shocks. Scientists, meanwhile, toiled day and night, attempting to find solutions to the crisis from the technological remnants of ancient civilizations.
At the research base, scientists made a surprising discovery regarding the technological principle of energy deflection. By constructing a special energy field, the direction of energy propagation can be guided and altered. Although this technology exists only in theory and is extremely difficult to implement, it undoubtedly provides them with a glimmer of hope. The Alliance immediately mobilized the universe's top physicists and engineers to form a joint research team, dedicating themselves fully to the research and practice of energy deflection technology.
Amidst the intense preparations, the black hole at the core of the Milky Way is becoming increasingly active. The accretion disk surrounding the black hole is exhibiting a distorted shape, releasing energy beams that shoot into the depths of space like swords. The exploration fleet continues to monitor the black hole's changes, transmitting the latest data back to Alliance headquarters in real time. According to data predictions, the energy tide will arrive in the Alliance's galactic region in a few months.
Time was of the essence, and the Alliance was racing against the clock to make preparations. In addition to military and technological operations, the Alliance was actively organizing the evacuation and refuge of its citizens. A vast network of underground shelters was established on various planets, stockpiling sufficient supplies and energy to ensure the basic living needs of the population during the crisis. Simultaneously, large-scale public awareness campaigns were launched to educate the public on crisis response knowledge and methods, and to stabilize social order.
In the research and development of energy deflection technology, the joint research team made crucial progress after countless experiments and failures. They successfully manufactured a small prototype energy deflection device and verified its effectiveness in a simulated environment. Although this device is still far from being able to withstand energy tides, it provides valuable experience and direction for subsequent research and development. Based on this, scientists further optimized the design, expanding the energy guiding range and intensity of the device.
As the arrival of the energy tide draws ever closer, the entire alliance has entered its final sprint. Military forces are deployed, technological research and development are proceeding at full speed, and the public is psychologically prepared to cope with the crisis. At this critical moment, the alliance has demonstrated unprecedented unity and courage. They will go all out to meet this severe challenge concerning the fate of the universe, fighting a do-or-die battle for the continuation of civilization and the future of the cosmos.
