"This is our latest discovery, half an hour ago, there was some kind of explosion of unknown type on this small island. It's 2 times in a row! Both explosions occurred at the same coordinates and were almost equal in intensity. No one knows exactly what caused the explosion, and for well-known reasons, our satellites have not been able to capture pictures of the explosion. ”

"However, the intelligence services have already vetoed the possibility of a nuclear explosion, since our satellites have not found any radioactive residues. Judging by the effects of the damage and the reports of our seismic monitoring agencies on the West Coast and Hawaii, there is no doubt that the explosion was man-made. ”

"Its explosion triggered two magnitude 9 earthquakes, with the epicenter at exactly the same coordinates. If it weren't for the fact that it is located in the most remote part of the Pacific Ocean, where the main energy is absorbed by the earth's crust and oceans, we would have felt the tremors here! The moderator paused to give everyone more time to look at the details of the picture.

"Excuse me, Mr. Lancer. Unlike you, I'm not an expert in weapons. But as far as I know, there is no such powerful weapon in this world. If the dimensions in this picture and what you say are correct, then the weapon that caused this explosion is a hundred times larger than the maximum yield hydrogen bomb in our nuclear arsenal, which is impossible. The President's scientific advisers have determined that this is an active volcanic eruption......"

A white-haired White House bureaucrat questioned that it was the president's chief of staff. Unlike others who attended the meeting, this White House aide seemed to have done too much of the government's nonsense, and still did not realize the seriousness of the problem. Until now, he can still face such a big crisis with a relaxed face.

And what he called Mr. Lancer is the current presiding officer of the meeting, and the CIA's current chief weapons threat analysis expert. The meeting was chaired by this weapons expert because he was the latest person responsible for the investigation into the "New Bermuda" incident.

"Gentlemen, I understand your confusion, and I could stand here all day and give you a careful argument as to why I have come to these conclusions. But none of this will change my conclusion, it was a man-made explosion. At least nature does not have the ability to create two earthquakes of exactly the same magnitude in a row at exactly the same location! ”

"As for Mr. Secretary's doubts, yes, the theory of active volcanoes seems more reasonable and reassuring, and no country "should" have such weapons. But how many things in the New Bermuda area can be associated with the word "should"? ”

"Should the strategic nuclear submarine belonging to the United States Navy, which disappeared in these waters two years ago, be missing?" Should our satellite network also fail for two years in a row, unable to detect any information in this hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of sea area? Where is this "earthquake" normal? ”

"I'm sure you don't need a lot of scientific knowledge to see it. It's never an accident or a natural disaster, it's all man-made. Most of you have been gathered because you have all been involved in investigating the events of New Bermuda. I think all of you who have participated in the survey will agree with me, that common sense that we are accustomed to is of very limited use in this mysterious area! ”

The presiding officer's remarks struck a chord with Mr. Rest, who was present at the meeting, and he would have immediately echoed it if it weren't for his own career. However, it can be seen that most people, including others, agree with the moderator's statement.

In the ensuing meeting, the moderator asked all the investigators for their opinions one by one, and most of them suggested restarting the investigation, but they were silent when asked about the specific investigation plan. When asked for their opinion. Mr. Rest paused, but finally decided to tell the truth.

； "I think we should immediately seek cooperation with other governments to investigate this incident together, especially the Celestial Empire government!" His words sparked a discussion, but many of those who participated in the investigation showed expressions of understanding and seemed to agree with him.

"What's your reason?" The moderator asked.

"We've all investigated the New Bermuda incident in depth, and we've had a few of the biggest suspects for a long time, and one of the important people who is often overlooked is a young citizen of the Celestial Empire. According to my investigation, it is possible that this person is the mastermind behind everything......"

"Enough. Lester. Don't bring your personal emotions in! An insider jumped out in disagreement, and Mr. Lester gave him a hard look at the guy who spoke out against it. It's the superior who has been blind to him when he was in the intelligence bureau.

The other party's opposition to his proposal at this time is probably because he is afraid that he will steal his limelight, after all, after this crisis, he may take over the investigation again and be reinstated. This is not good news for the other party. The host didn't know the problem, so he asked the two to explain.

"A year ago, Mr. Lester lost several good agents when he took over the investigative project, almost all of them by accident while tracking that person. He made this proposal for revenge and not to facilitate the investigation! As far as we know. The Celestial Empire government is behind the scenes...... "The old superior hurriedly exposed his shortcomings and gave his own guess.

Although he knew very well that the other party just wanted to take this opportunity to suppress himself, Mr. Lester was still furious. Because they all knew that it was a lie, for the sake of his reputation and future, he immediately stood up and pointed to the computer screen and retorted loudly.

"Nope. I have evidence that this was not an act of the Celestial Empire government. Instead, they're investigating the suspects we've found......" Mr. Lester finally decided to publish the argument that had previously cost him his job and began to give examples.

Soon, with the support of his arguments and the presiding officer, the meeting of the intelligence officers entered the course of relatively correct discussion, and gradually the majority of Mr. Lester's arguments were accepted, and the possibility of a joint investigation began to be considered.

And in the Celestial Empire, which is separated by an ocean from them, a similar discussion is also taking place in the government department. Unlike the Americans, who have significantly more initial information than the Americans, the Celestial Empire's investigative agencies have come up with some speculations that are very close to the truth.

When the Americans finally get in touch with them a few days later, the two governments will undoubtedly cooperate to continue the investigation. Until then, governments around the world, led by them, have reported on what has just happened as if it were a natural disaster.

At least for the billions of ordinary people on Earth, the first time-traveler war that just took place on Earth did not affect their daily lives. From government agencies, they learned that earlier in the heart of the Pacific Ocean there was an ordinary marine earthquake, which produced a tsunami that affected tourism in some of the islands.

Because it has not affected the lives of the vast majority of people at all. So apart from the good news media hype, not many people really paid attention to this news that almost exclusively affected the tourism industry in the Pacific region.

And in a binary star system almost 50 light-years away, the Executor is carefully hiding here, mobilizing a large amount of medical resources to treat Shen Chao who is in a coma for unknown reasons in every way imaginable.

However, after a detailed examination, the top doctors from all planes were unable to find anything abnormal. Except for falling into an unexplained slumber. Shen Chao's physiology is completely normal, and the brain activity map looks like an ordinary person who has fallen into a deep sleep.

Since no problems were found with any nerves or other systems, the doctors could only connect Shen Chao to the life-sustaining system, continuously observe his "condition", and use various means to slightly stimulate Shen Chao's nervous system from time to time to see if they could help him.

And after the first two busy days, the high-level members of the expedition who had gathered again finally broke out their opinions. At the beginning, when the accident happened, everyone rushed back to help as soon as possible, but at the end of the consultation. After confirming Shen Chao's status, the higher-ups immediately fell into a panic.

It may be a bit too much to say that they have no leader, but Shen Chao's sudden fall definitely shook the entire crossing system he had established. On whether Shen Chao's "illness" should be made public, the top management fell into a fierce dispute. If you look closely, you can see that all the core personnel except Alice are present.

"This kind of thing can't be hidden, we must announce the truth as soon as possible and close the space-time gates of all non-central worlds, destroy conspicuous targets like the Zero space station, and block all security threats...... " This is Sister Xue's opinion. She was pessimistic about the status quo and believed that any new threats must be eliminated immediately.

But. After all, she considered the problem with a purely military mindset, and had not been in contact with the work of the real government for a long time, so she did not consider the huge impact that this would bring. Custer was quick to point out the problem.

"Maybe we can't hide it for a long time, but we have to keep it a secret now. The news of the Captain's coma must not be allowed to leak out of this battleship. Otherwise, the work of the past few months or even years may lose its value! Custer mentioned that there was no need for explanation, and his concerns were immediately understood.

The power structure of the Space-Time Council is generally relatively stable, but this is actually largely based on the space-time gate network established by Shen Chao and his personal prestige. Without taking into account the variables of each plane. Everything is stable. But in fact, many major events in the plane are directly bound to Shen Chao's personal safety.

For example, in the newly developed Star Wars plane, apart from Shen Chao, there was no other person or force in the expedition team who could communicate with Vader on an equal footing. Once the news of Shen Chao's "illness" leaks out, it is difficult to say how someone like Vinda will react. Not to mention the performance of the internal opposition who are waiting for their moment.

"We all received a lot of help from him. Now, when he is weak, it is time for us to repay him. Custer concluded at the meeting. (To be continued......)
