Chapter 33: Six Months

When Douglas personally told Ryan that everyone had only one year and one month left for Ryan. The people of Ryan were shocked, and soon there were never-before-seen marches in various districts and Gardes. The marching crowd felt that Parliament had deceived them in this matter, that Parliament had betrayed their trust, and that Douglas should step down.

Fortunately, the preparation of the Government Council played a role, and in the silence of many forces and Douglas's speeches, this march, which was not driven by many interests behind it, came to an end after a month.

The council tells them that Ryan's only way out is to pull Ryan out of the quagmire of Breath of Perdition through Ryan's Dark Side, or to drift to other worlds through the Dark Side. And with the release of batches of data, the public has to believe this fact.

Soon, the population had to face the next problem. Since the end of the world is just around the corner in one year, what are they going to do?

The answer given by the council is to go to the dark side. Time flows much faster on the dark side than on the real side. According to the estimation of the Council Research Institute, there should be more than ten years left for the dark side of Ryan, and many people choose that the Arcane Empire will definitely find a way in these ten years.

However, the reality often did not turn out to be the case, and by the time the march was over and Ryan had six months to go, the council had still not found a civilized world that could provide Ryan with traction. During this time, the only achievement of the Parliamentary Research Institute was the three models of small, medium and large astral drifting warehouses. This type of chamber allows passengers to drift through the astral plane while they are highly dormant. Each drift chamber consists of an intelligent navigation component, a propulsion module, a dormant chamber and a layer of protective layers. It is theoretically expected to drift in the astral realm for more than 2,000 years. Small rafting cabins can carry 3-10 people, while medium-sized cabins can carry 10-100 people, and large ones can carry 100-5000 people.

However, it is embarrassing that because of the sunken breath of Ryan's outside world, the Council Research Institute is unable to collect the actual survival data of the drifting warehouse. Like the high-level golems before it, the Drifting Chambers lost contact two or three days after flying into the Breath of Devain. After the council announced the results, it attracted a burst of scolding, and the reputation of the Fourth Arcane Imperial Council Research Institute, which was once enviable and admired, has long since plummeted, especially in the past six months, when there has been little progress, not to mention the complaints, people will run to the door of the research institute every day to scold the street, and even scold the rules. They usually curse for an hour on weekdays, and on weekends, people leave the team from 30 minutes onwards, and the crowd of people scolding on the street will disperse for about two to three hours.

But even so, the demand for drifting warehouses is still very strong. Fortunately, the council released the design of the drifting chamber, and Ryan's arcanists are also very strong, and various magic modifications are emerging in an endless stream. The most well-known are the Soul Body Separation Type and the Dark Side Drifting Type, both of which were proposed by the Research Institute and published their designs. The former stores the soul and body separately, while the latter has the function of drifting on the dark side.

The Government Council has counted how many people already have a drifting cabin after the release of the drifting warehouse for a period of time, and in the end, how many people in Ryan can carry the drifting warehouse. Due to the release of the blueprints, the statistics are not entirely accurate, but in general, the Government Council believes that about a month before the Breath of Sinking invaded Ryan, 200 million people were sure to be able to carry the drifting chamber, and the likely ones were between 500 million and 700 million.

"Chenxi, choose a few complaint letters with content to show me." Douglas said as he walked into the office as usual. Naturally, there are many complaints to Douglas, and even more have asked him to step down.

"Okay Speaker, today there are five letters of complaint that contain more pertinent suggestions or comments, including Nancy Betty and Howard Nicholas, with whom you already have some correspondence." Douglas has been responding to valuable letters of complaint, even if it takes him one to two hours a morning. But it has also brought Douglas's reputation back on, and at least now people know what their Speaker is doing and thinking every day.

"Your Excellency, the Speaker has just received news from the Institute of Parliamentary Research that they have found a civilized world with the conditions for traction." Douglas was about to read the five letters of complaint when Dawn's voice made him a little stunned, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on.

"That's great news. I'll have to take a look. Douglas laughed.

With the help of teleportation spells, Douglas quickly arrived at the Institute of Parliament.

"Korn, tell me what you've discovered." Douglas asked Korn.

"Your Excellency, you must know that during this time we have been solving the problem of space-time distortion near the barrier of the Dark Side World. After removing the distractions of this space-time distortion, we finally have something to gain. Cohen said.

"I've heard of the space-time warps of the Darkside World Barriers, and they are known for their irregularity. Now, then, tell us about the civilized world that you have discovered. Douglas said.

"Okay, this civilized world is about 20 eyes away from us in the real astral plane. According to the data obtained by the Dark Side, it should be a civilization world with very rich magical resources and huge volume, but not as advanced as us in technology. Sean said.

"That's pretty good, do you have any plans now, when can we establish a link with them, when can we start pulling Ryan." Douglas asked.

"Now we are still working on a traction plan, which will take at least three days, and we will try to come up with it at the next regular meeting. I think this news will definitely make everyone happy. Cohen said.

"Of course, I'm looking forward to that day. Now let's take a closer look at this great discovery. Douglas said.

As the news of the detection of the traction world was released, all parts of Ryan were jubilant. Many magicians also extravagantly use magic power to set off some magic fireworks. People celebrated while waiting for concrete plans after the regular meeting. Once again, the people of Ryan feel that what they have done has brought hope and victory.

"Dawn, Coin told me that it will cost a lot of energy to build a traction anchorage, and unless you use the energy core of the Hope, it will not be possible to build it successfully, do you say that the regular meeting will use that energy core uniformly?" The day before the meeting, Douglas asked Dawn at home.

"It's hard to say, there are both conservatives and radicals in Parliament. It depends on the plan that Cohen proposes tomorrow. Personally, I don't know if it's easier to succeed over there. Dawn replied.

The next day, at a regular meeting of the Parliament, Cohen's plan caused an uproar among the councilors.

"Korn, you know, your plan is just a plan. No one has tried it before, and you are not 100% sure. Even I'm a little skeptical about the traction effect after a successful link. If that's all you have planned, I can't give you my yes vote. ”

"Cohen, if your plan can be written with more certainty, or if there are more steps to ensure success when the need for nuclear power is already assured, I can vote for you. I ask you if you want to refine or modify your plan? ”

In the end, Cohen's proposed plan to build a traction anchor by using the Hope nuclear was unsuccessful. The overall project project, named 'Forward', stalled at this moment.
