Chapter 297 The monster appears and moves, its target is the Enoden.
Inside the Victory Team's command center, Lin Yeming had just issued an order requiring the Delta Space Station to continuously monitor the anomalous coordinates and to comprehensively strengthen the Earth monitoring network.
The order was quickly relayed through Nori, but Captain Iruma, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly after the initial shock, and her face showed worry and doubt.
After Ye Rui relayed the order, she turned her gaze to Lin Yeming, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable seriousness: "Advisor Yeming, isn't this order... a bit too hasty?"
She took a step closer, lowered her voice, and made sure the conversation was between the two of them: "We've invested a lot of manpower and resources in investigating the anomaly at that coordinate point, and we've been investigating for almost a week straight. The result is nothing except for that unreproducible fluctuation. Some experts from the headquarters' science bureau believe that it may just be a rare disturbance in the cosmic microwave background radiation. Now, continuing to invest the highest level of monitoring resources, even mobilizing the global monitoring network, involves costs and opportunities. I need a convincing reason to explain to the director and the team members about the costs and opportunities involved."
Intermediate Whitney paused, then looked sharply at Lin Yeming: "I know that the External Life Negotiation Department you lead has special authority, reporting directly to the Director and possessing independent intelligence channels. Does your insistence on doing this mean... you possess some crucial information that we are unaware of? About that coordinate point, or about a potential threat?"
Her questioning did not stem from a challenge to power, but rather from a commander’s strong sense of responsibility for resources and the safety of his team members.
She needs to ensure that every action is backed by solid logic.
Lin Yeming understood Jujian Hui's concerns.
He did not show displeasure at the questioning; on the contrary, his expression became even more serious.
He led Megumi to the main screen and pulled up a timeline comparison chart of the previous Space Snail incident and the Hoshino photographer incident. "Captain, I understand your concerns. I do indeed have conclusive evidence from other intelligence channels."
He pointed to the data peak on the screen, “But look at this—the time when Delta Force first captured the abnormal fluctuations coincides closely with the time when photographer Hoshino first witnessed the monster.”
Subsequently, during his personal investigation, Deputy Captain Munakata detected a faint signal whose frequency characteristics were identical to the anomalous fluctuations detected by the space station. He switched the screen, displaying an enhanced image of the blurry, tentacled outline of the space snail. "And this time, the space station again detected similar fluctuations, accompanied by this… we can almost certainly confirm it's an image of the space snail. Is all of this just an isolated coincidence?"
Lin Yeming looked at Ju Jianhui, his eyes resolute: "I don't think so. It's more like a gradual process. That coordinate point might be an unstable 'spatial node' or 'rift.' The first fluctuation was its slight activity, causing the monster projection far away on Earth. The second, which is this time, its activity intensified, even dragging the cosmic snail traveling nearby into a phase cloaking state. If we don't monitor it in time, the next time... what emerges from that node might not be a relatively gentle cosmic snail, but a hostile, real invader!"
Of course, Lin Yeming knew that what he said was wrong.
The problem is, their world is riddled with too many spacetime rifts.
He needs to get the TPC to take certain necessary monitoring seriously, and the only way to get the TPC to take that seriously is to first convince frontline staff like Megumi Kijima.
Lin Yeming's analysis was clear and logical, connecting several seemingly unrelated events into a convincing chain of logic.
As Captain Kei listened, the doubt on her face gradually gave way to deep thought.
She recalled Lin Yeming's disappearance for a period of time and his subsequent traversal, which indeed supported the theory of unstable spatial nodes. "So, your judgment is correct," Ju Jianhui pondered, "that coordinate point is a potential source of threat, and its activity is intensifying? Our previous investigation wasn't in vain, but rather we happened to capture its initial, faint 'breathing'?" "Exactly." Lin Yeming nodded affirmatively, "I believe now is not the time to conserve resources, but rather to seize the opportunity to establish a comprehensive early warning system before it fully 'opens' or attracts something even more terrifying. This is not only to guard against unknown risks, but also to buy valuable preparation time for the battles we may face."
Just then, Ye Rui couldn't help but interject, "Captain, Ye Ming's analysis aligns with Dr. Gu Ying's previous speculation from the Science Bureau! The doctor also believes there's an alternate dimension that intermittently overlaps with our world, and that coordinate point is very likely the entrance!" The mutual corroboration of internal and external information solidified Ju Jianhui's resolve. The hesitation in her eyes vanished completely, replaced by the decisiveness befitting a commander: "I understand. Ye Rui, immediately execute Advisor Ye Ming's orders! Top priority! Also, compile Advisor Ye Ming's analysis report; I want to personally report to the Director!"
"understand!"
The notification has been completed; now he needs to compile a report to be submitted.
At that moment, an emergency communication appeared on the big screen.
Everyone put down what they were doing and looked over.
"Headquarters, this is Delta Universe, I am Kazuma Asuka."
"Based on our recent observations, we can be certain that the anomaly that occurred earlier has entered a state of motion."
Zongfang asked, "State of motion?"
Megumi: "You mean, that suspected object moved?"
Kazuma Asuka: "Not bad!"
Lin Yeming asked, "Where is the monster located, and how far is it from Earth?"
"According to calculations, the monster is currently located on the moon."
"However, all we can see right now is a pair of tentacles."
"He's getting closer and closer to Earth!"
"Yorui, immediately analyze the possible landing locations of the monster."
Lin Yeming frowned, feeling something was off.
According to his memory, this giant monster should be waiting for her son in space.
How could such an anomaly occur?
Could it be that something else happened that he was unaware of?
If that's the case, he'll have to take some action.
This time, let Tiga take the lead.
Daigo also needs some training, even though he has always resisted Tiga's identity.
"I've figured out where the monster might be!"
"That place is where Daigo and the others are!"
"Enoshitsu!"
As soon as this speculation emerged, Megumi Kijima immediately ordered the Victory Team to be mobilized and dispatched Zara and his team to carry out personnel evacuation work.
