The proposal was not passed, and Cohen was helpless. He knew that Ryan's Grand Arcanists had now prioritized their lives and safety. Cohen's plan seemed to them to be a desperate gamble.

"Cohen, what are you going to do?" Nelson asked.

"Let's revise the proposal first. Start by using a small amount of resources to build a connection between the two dark-side worlds. Through this connection, we increase the success rate of anchor traction. That might convince them. Cohen said.

Then a week later, a strange rumor spread through the streets of Gardes. It is said that Grand Arcanist wanted to use a number of important reserves of the Arcane Empire to carry out the Dark Side Traction Project, but was rejected by the Council due to lack of reliability. For a while, because of this rumor, it was in name again. Many people believe that this is a real plan to save Ryan, and that the parliament should support it. Some people also think that Cohen is taking a risk, and may let Ryan finish the game early, and the top priority should be to strengthen the escape power of Ryan's drift escape device.

At this time, Cohen was in Douglas's office to talk to Douglass about the matter.

"Your Excellency, it looks like some people don't want me to proceed with this plan." Korn said.

"There will always be naysayers. In fact, even if the anchor is 100% successful, we don't know what the effect will be. So it's not uncommon for some to object. Douglas said, "By the way, Cohen, do you want to try to establish a weak connection on the dark side first, and import its coordinates into the drifting chamber, so that those who escape through the dark side can drift to that world along this weak connection?" ”

"Yes, yes, and we are planning to do this to enhance the reliability of the traction. But I feel that even if this weak connection succeeds, there will be a new excuse to prevent me from calling on the core. Cohen said: "That news was obviously released by the people of the council, otherwise how could they deliberately avoid talking about energy and nuclear weapons, and instead blur it into a so-called reserve resource." ”

"Cohen, the Hope Floating City has been renovated for months. This renovation project may not be comparable to some of the big projects on the dark side. But you know, this is our most reliable escape plan yet. Through this floating city, we can guarantee that a million or more people will survive in the astral plane. And then the reliable one is the Drift Warehouse, who can indeed allow us to escape to the astral plane. Although it was a bit of luck for them to break through the encirclement of the Breath of Destruction. Once again, the Dark Side is a permanent fixed point, and Ryan's Dark is resistant and operable enough in the face of the Breath of Perdition. Optimistically, it is estimated that there will be no problem at all in surviving for thousands of years to join the Dark Side settlements. Finally, there will be the Dark Side Traction Project or other Dark Side Project. ”

Douglas paused and continued, "We don't know the dark side after all, and we don't know when. Everyone has put safety first and reliability first. Cohen: Do you know how many Grand Arcanists are spontaneously guarding the Hope Floating City? There were a whole eight Grand Arcanists who spontaneously guarded the location. 'That's a million lives and hopes,' is their excuse. I can't help it. ”

Coming out of Douglas's office, Cohen felt a little disappointed. Although Douglas didn't say it explicitly, his attitude has become ambiguous, and he hopes that the dark side traction will save everyone in Ryan. But he also felt that the dark side traction was likely to fail, and if it failed, the whole Ryan could be said to be buried in it. The drifting warehouse really couldn't last long in the face of such a world-class disaster.

"Eight Grand Arcanists, plus the first two. Ten Grand Arcanists were there for nothing. The most dangerous place in Ryan right now is probably the Parliamentary Research Institute and the Resting Place. Hehe, a bunch of cowards. It occurred to Korn that he thought that if the Dark Side Traction was tried and practiced, the efforts and persistence of the entire Arcane Empire in the past few months would be almost meaningless.

"If we don't implement the Dark Side Traction Program, then what we're doing on the Dark Side still makes sense." Korn said to Nelson.

"Actually, sometimes I think about it. 100 percent 5 points return, and 50 percent 10 points return. You pick that. Nelson asked.

"It's different! Once successful, all will be saved. Cohen retorted.

"But the success rate is really small, isn't it? We have handled the whole plan, and naturally we can find that in the end, the success rate of relying on a single energy core to pull the entire Ryan out of the encirclement of the Breath of Sinking is very small. Cohen, you probably know the slang that 'arcane doesn't get stronger because of your shouting'. The success rate of the dark side traction also doesn't become reliable because it has the potential to save everyone. ”

"In fact, Douglas and I had a private conversation once. None of us are sure to save everyone of Ryan, and I want to peel away a piece of Ryan's dark side. Attach this dark side to the dark side of other worlds to achieve refuge and escape. Douglas, on the other hand, felt that it was possible to let the Precursors drift to other worlds through the dark side first, and then let the Precursors transform the dark side of other worlds to build a stable dark side channel. Then let's move people and supplies through these corridors. "We're personally responsible for both of these programs, and the level of secrecy is higher than yours," Nielsen said. Why, this is not yet a matter of success rate, and if he is possible enough, the Arcanists will soon be able to turn it into reality. If he is not reliable, no amount of shouting will be useful. ”

"So what's going on with your plans?" Cohen asked.

"Not bad, especially when the Super Magic Stone was made, when that civilized world was discovered. My plan was 80% successful. Split Ryan's dark side and be powered by Super Magic Stones. A single fragment can carry more than a million people. Ultimately, optimistic estimates could allow 10 million or more people to flee with the Dark Side Shards. Nelson said: "Douglas's plan didn't work, he calculated that this plan was not reliable after he released a batch of high-level golems last time." Now he's focused on defending against the Breath of Dying. ”

"If the energy core on the Hope is used to drive the dark side after the split, how many people can be saved?" Korn still asked.

"If that happens, we should be able to transfer hundreds of millions of people. But Korn, you still don't get it. Even if my plan succeeds almost eighty percent, the probability of successfully reaching that civilized world in the end is less than fifty percent, and coupled with the infiltration and assimilation of the dark side, it is estimated that I can actually maintain my self-consciousness and transfer to other worlds in the end. Don't put your eggs in one basket. Korn, don't add a job to save the world. That's a teenage thing. Ha, a little kidding. Nelson said. He hoped that Korn wouldn't be crushed by the burden he had placed on him.

For Nielsen, if you can't save it, you can't save it. Cowen and Douglas were genuine compassionate, always hoping to save everything.

The conversation with Nelson still helped, at least Cohen didn't hold on to the Hope's nucleus right now. And after talking to Cohen, Nelson suggested to Douglas that Coan's plan be incorporated into theirs, and Douglas agreed.

A few more days later, Cohen was already preparing to change his research. Something unexpected happened. A popular uprising with his dark side traction plan as a lead broke out.
