"No, Marshal Lin, what do you mean? If we can't destroy them, why can't we not destroy them?"
After a moment of confusion, Ryan, who was now the chief of staff, asked.
Everyone else turned their gazes towards Lin Fan once more, waiting for his reply.
"Regarding this, I have two new reports. I hope everyone can take a look at them first. It'll be easier for you to understand them later."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and operated the virtual interface a few times. Instantly, the virtual entities of two reports were presented in front of each big shot.
After all, everyone present was at the top of the Federation's pyramid, so they naturally wouldn't do anything ridiculous. They all began to read the reports seriously.
These two reports were both written and submitted by Wei. One of them was an analysis and prediction of the evolution of the insectoids. It mainly described the insectoid's innate talent for evolution and the negative consequences that might occur after they obtained the genes of a purgatory lifeform.
The other was a report on the research results of the Black Cavity's energy. Although Wei hadn't obtained any substantial results over the past few days, he had glimpsed a trace of the universe's truth. It was also extremely shocking. From a certain perspective, this report was hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times more important than the first report.
After reading these two reports, everyone seemed to have understood what Lin Fan was trying to say.
The Zerg had to be destroyed, but not now!
"As you can see, let's talk about the first report first!"
"According to Wei's model, after countless deductions, we've come to a conclusion. After the Zerg obtain the genes of Purgatory creatures above Rank 7, Aliya will break through her racial talent limit within 20 to 100 years and become a Rank 8 Imperial Zerg. Even Rank 9 or Rank 10 Imperial Zerg in the future won't be much of an obstacle for her."
"Although the probability of her breaking through in 20 years is very small, we have to plan for the worst and leave some leeway to prevent any accidents. Therefore, my suggestion is 15 years. Within 15 years, the Zerg must be completely destroyed!"
"According to Only's second report, it would take at least ten years to produce results on the research of the Black Cavity's energy. Furthermore, it would only be at the beginner's level. With the current technological capabilities of the Federation, it would be unrealistic for them to delve deeper into the research."
"Whether it's from the research of the Black Cavity's energy or from the preparations to prevent another invasion from the Purgatory, we need time. Therefore, we need to use the Zerg to buy us enough time!"
"And this time … can only last for 15 years at most. After 15 years, no matter what the outcome is, the Zergs must be destroyed!"
"I'm done!"
Combining the contents of the two reports and the possibility of another Inferno invasion, Lin Fan finally came to a conclusion. The insectoids had to be destroyed, but not now. They had to wait until the humans had the ability to deal with the Inferno or until 15% of the time had passed before they could finally make their move.
The group of big shots conversed softly with the other big shots around them, exchanging their opinions.
Ten minutes later, when Lin Zhen saw that the big shots had stopped talking and the entire conference room had quieted down, he spoke.
"Now that we're almost done discussing, let's officially begin the voting. Those who agree with Lin Fan's proposal, please raise your hand!"
Whoosh …
It was very uniform and there was almost no difference in time. The 17 big shots from various departments and the President and Vice President, a total of 19 people, all raised their hands at this moment.
"Nineteen to zero, I hereby announce that the proposal is officially approved."
After glancing at everyone, Lin Zhen nodded and put his hand down as he announced loudly.
However, the proposal that Lin Fan mentioned was only a rough idea. The framework and most of the details were not presented.
However, the big shots did not care about this. They only wanted to decide on the direction. As for the details, they would only do the final review and would not participate in it personally.
"Lin Fan, submit the detailed proposal to me within three days. Are there any problems?"
"No!"
— —
Time flew like an arrow that was shot out. It was fast and there was no turning back.
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
It was 600 million light years away from the Lanikaia Supercluster. It was the neighbor of the Wales Supercluster, the Nerkeia Supercluster.
Holy Land, Halavi.
In the Central Palace, Garen, who had been sleeping for three years, slowly opened his eyes.
"I wonder how Third Brother is doing?"
"Since Haig has gone, there should be no problems. After all, it's just a Level Eight technological civilization."
After moving his body slightly and confirming that there was no problem, Garen could not help but mutter to himself.
After all, for this matter, he had used the talent of his race to forcefully open the Black Cavity Passage. How could he forget?
"Big Brother!"
"You're finally awake!"
A very excited yet very familiar voice was instantly transmitted into the palace.
As expected, Garen raised his head and saw the figure rushing into the palace. It was his Third Brother, Ipnos!
I knew that after Garen went, he would definitely be able to bring this kid back safely.
Wait, other than the excitement from Third Brother, why was there a hint of sadness?
"What happened?"
Garen knew Ipnos very well. Something must have happened and it was not a small matter.
Wait, what about Haig?
Why did he only see Ipnos but not Haig?
And …
From the moment he woke up, he had already scanned the entire Holy Land of Halavi but did not sense a trace of Haig's aura!
"Big Brother, you must avenge Second Brother. Second Brother was killed by those humans and even his remains were taken back by them for research!"
"What?"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, causing his expression to turn ugly.
"Human … You mean the human who is only a Level Eight technological civilization?"
"Yes, yes, it's that human!"
"This is impossible!"
A Level Eight technological civilization, even if Haig just stood there and did not fight back, he would not die, right?
But now, Ipnos was telling him that his third brother had been killed by a technological civilization of the Type 8 realm, and even his remains had been taken away to be used as research materials?
This was too ridiculous!
Looking at Garen's face full of disbelief, Ipnos could only describe the whole matter in detail.
However, it was fine if he did not say anything. Now that he said it, Garen could no longer hold it in.
As for why, it was naturally because of what Ipnos said just now!
A civilization that could use dark energy for attack and defense, and you're telling me that this is a Level Eight civilization?
This could already be considered a Level Nine civilization, right?
"Big Brother, what should we do now?"
"Don't blindly join in the fun. If it's really like what you said, that humans can already use dark energy, then if you go, you'll definitely be sending yourself to your death. Just leave this matter to them!"
They … could it be?
