"How's the list going?"

Sitting in a comfortable chair, Du Haoyu looked up at the assistant who had just knocked on the door and came in.

Inside the spacious and bright office, sunlight pours in through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

It's just that Du Haoyu can't feel any temperature.

This state has been going on for a long time, even sitting in front of the retro huge stove in the lounge, watching the logs rich in grease and refreshing aroma burst into flames in front of him, Du Haoyu can't feel the slightest temperature.

This chill that came from the depths of his soul soaked his spleen and bones, and he felt a chill that was enough to freeze his consciousness and mind all the time.

He hadn't been home for a long time, although subconsciously Du Haoyu also regarded the council as his home.

"It's a bit of a problem."

"There's one item on the list that is also scarce in the federal economy, and the amount they're asking for is huge."

"We've done as much as we can, but it's still a big difference from their requirements."

"Due to the deadlines, we may not be able to fulfill their requests."

The assistant said slowly in a deep voice.

"No contact?"

Without dwelling on this issue, in Du Haoyu's view, it doesn't matter whether the materials on the list can be collected and completed in the required time.

Up to now, apart from the performance of the self-proclaimed "slave" Senator Saul in Parliament, the Federation has not been able to establish any direct contact with each other.

Communication is the most important thing.

Du Haoyu knows this better than anyone.

"The last confirmation was ten minutes ago."

"According to our requirements, if a communication connection is established, they will contact us immediately."

"So, I shouldn't have been able to get in touch yet."

The assistant replied in a deep voice.

Without saying anything more, Du Haoyu stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

His eyes looked through the transparent window, and he looked to the ground.

Cars come and go, people walk and walk.

In front of the parliament building, it is still as lively as ever.

Obviously, today is the "reception day" of the council, and the teachers are frolicking in the greenery with groups of innocent children in the square in front of the building.

Outside the square, "Federal Television" set up long guns and short guns, and the documentary "Federation Today" may be almost finished.

Further on, high-rise buildings, low and high altitudes, dense traffic shows the prosperity and busyness of the city.

"Send a message to convene a council."

"The sooner the better."

Although his eyes were a little sloppy, the clearer Du Haoyu's heart became, and he gave the order after making a decision a few minutes later.

"Understood."

The assistant bowed slightly, then turned to leave.

Turning back to sit on the chair, Du Haoyu closed his eyes slightly.

Time passed slowly.

When the sunlight finally crept away from the window and the colorful neon light came in through the window, the assistant knocked on the door again.

Slightly stunned, the assistant still reached out and turned on the switch.

The bright light drove away the darkness that surrounded Du Haoyu.

"The Senate, the members and the speaker who can come have already arrived."

"I couldn't make it, and the staff was ready for remote video conferencing."

The assistant whispered.

"Let's go."

Reaching out and rubbing a few handfuls on his cheek, Du Haoyu stood up.

It's still the familiar conference room, it's the same familiar councillors, speakers, and senators.

After stepping onto his seat as president of the Senate, Du Haoyu did not make a brief report on the emergency meeting as usual, but looked directly at the staff in the corner of the conference room.

"Contact Murto, in the name of the Federal Assembly."

A few seconds later, the projector in the center of the conference room emitted tens of millions of rays of light, instantly forming a clear stereoscopic image.

In the picture, as most of the time, someone from the "Star Spirit Clan" is wearing a suit of armor.

"What's the matter?"

Similarly, as always, the other party, who doesn't like politeness, asks straight to the point.

"Based on intelligence, we note that you are also trying to contact civilizations in the Triangle that claim to be the Genesis."

"We just want to know if you have contacted them?"

"As close allies and comrades-in-arms, the Federation hopes to share more intelligence and information with you."

Du Haoyu stood up and asked loudly.

"We're sorry, but we don't have any more information to share with you on this matter."

"Even if the other party is the extinct Sarnagar tribe, we still can't be sure."

"They refused to contact us, and we didn't venture into the triangle to avoid the outbreak of war."

The "Star Spirit Clan" people replied without hesitation.

"Your fleet outside the triangle doesn't have any level of contact with them?"

Du Haoyu accentuated his tone.

"Nope."

The Star Spirit Clan shook his head.

"Thank you."

"Goodbye."

After Du Haoyu finished saying these two words, he gestured to the staff to end the remote communication connection.

After the figure of the "Star Spirit Clan" disappeared, Du Haoyu nodded to the assistant behind him.

His assistant stood up and walked over a copy of the removable memory containing the classified information and handed it to the staff.

The projector started working again, only this time against a pitch-black cosmic background.

Apparently an exhaustive analysis has been done, and exact notes have been made in the sources.

A slightly brighter point of light in the picture is marked with the words "Star Spirit Clan" fleet in words.

It didn't take long for a faint point of light to move rapidly from a distance, flying in the direction of the "Star Spirit Clan" fleet.

It's just that when he was about to make contact with the "Star Spirit Clan" fleet, the point of light paused for a moment, and then flew back towards the way it came.

"This is the footage recorded by one of the large number of probes that we have recently put into the triangle."

"The point of light flies out of the triangular angle galaxy."

"In addition, as you just noticed, some kind of flying device represented by the point of light does not seem to be in contact with the Star Spirit fleet."

"However, according to the more detailed analysis of the footage by our staff, they determined that at the point of light where it stopped, there was a flying machine of the Star Spirit Clan."

"In other words, the Triangle claims to be the civilization of the Sarnagars, and they have come into direct contact with the Astral Clan."

"That's what happened a day ago."

"I don't believe that the Astral fleet at the edge of the triangle has returned to the Metor system, and some of them in the council chamber are unaware that their civilization has had direct contact with each other."

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Speaker of the Senate, the Speaker and the Councillors, we have not been able to contact each other, and the Star Spirit Clan, who had direct contact with each other, has concealed the truth from us, what does this mean, I think I don't need to elaborate on it, everyone knows it."

Du Haoyu's unhurried voice was no less than a super nuclear weapon exploding in the conference room.
