583: Chapter 583: Super Long Underground Communication Tunnel

“Commander, Mr. Will from Okshung called again,” Xiao Lin reminded.

“Alright, put him through,” Oriental Chen said.

Oriental Chen hadn't replied to Will because he planned to string them along.

He planned to use them to probe Mordo's true strength.

“Mr. Dongfang, the military exercise is scheduled for 2 PM China time, at Istanbul on the western shore of the Black Sea,” Will said.

Istanbul is located at the border between Okshung and Mordo. 2 PM China time is around 8 AM local time.

“I apologize, Mr. Will, but I do not plan to participate in the military exercise,” Oriental Chen said.

“Mr. Dongfang, didn't we discuss and agree last time?” Will asked urgently.

“Last time we only said we'd reconsider, but now I've changed my mind.”

“Why?”

“I know nothing about Mordo's situation, so doing this is too risky,” Oriental Chen said.

“Risk exists for everyone, but if we cooperate sincerely, we can reduce that risk,” Will tried to persuade him.

“Sorry, I don't want to take this risk,” Oriental Chen remained firm.

“If our attack fails, I'm afraid there will be no power left in this world to counterbalance them, and then humanity will also face extinction,” Will's tone grew a bit cold.

“So I suggest you cancel the plan; don't do something you're not confident about.”

“You can state your conditions,” Will conceded.

This was already very clear: Okshung's plan to attack Mordo was firm, even at some cost.

“I need more intelligence,” Oriental Chen said.

“We've tried many times, but we haven't been able to bring out any intelligence.”

“So that further illustrates the high level of danger. Without intelligence, I cannot take the risk,” Oriental Chen was very firm.

“How about this, we can provide you with some conveniences, and you can give it a try,” Will continued, following his words.

“There's no need to send people over. I can provide you with some technical support, and you can arrange for people to investigate,” Oriental Chen suggested.

“You… alright!” Will was very displeased, feeling it was a sign of contempt for them. But to make Oriental Chen give up, he reluctantly agreed.

In fact, to reach the Mordo hinterland, the closest place is the Aksu region of Xinjiang. That area is only about a thousand kilometers from Mordo's central zone.

However, if one were to enter from the Okshung direction, the distance would exceed 3000 kilometers.

But Oriental Chen could not do this personally.

Because he also had to play a neutral role.

Once involved in war, many things would become inconvenient to do.

Given the current situation, it was most suitable for Okshung to do this.

The deeper the conflict between them and Mordo, the more beneficial it would be for humanity.

“Alright, then it's settled. The items will be delivered soon.”

Today is January 17, 2057, leaving only 14 days until Mordo's grand sacrificial ceremony.

To improve the efficiency of the investigation, Oriental Chen specifically sent three warships and a full load of crystalss.

He was preparing to feign one thing while doing another. Under the guise of assisting Okshung in investigating Mordo, he planned to construct a super-long underground communication tunnel, segment by segment, spanning West Asia and the Middle East.

This way, he could solve Mordo's signal shielding problem.

But how could this project be completed in just 14 days?

It could only be done by deploying a large number of Bee Queens and proceeding with construction in segments.

If the Bee Queen deployment went smoothly, Oriental Chen was confident he could complete this groundbreaking feat within seven days.

The principle of the project was simple, but there were two difficult operational points:

1. How to deploy. Mordo would certainly not allow Okshung's warships to run rampant; they would be very easily destroyed.

2. How to coordinate. The deployed Bee Queens, under signal shielding, would be unable to contact the Supercomputing Center. Without remote control, unified scheduling would be impossible.

Oriental Chen had already thought of a solution for the deployment problem.

He could utilize the Great Sun Country's warships.

As for coordination, he could only use a The dumb way.

Plan the tunnel route in advance, number the Bee Queens, and set the section each Bee Queen would be responsible for.

By means of a 'handshake,' two adjacent Bee Queens would complete their connection, thus linking the entire communication line.

However, doing this created a new problem.

What if a certain Bee Queen failed to deploy successfully, or was captured during deployment? Then the entire line would be unable to connect.

To solve this problem, the number of Bee Queens would need to be doubled as a redundancy.

For example, if originally 500 Bee Queens were needed, with each responsible for a distance of 6 kilometers. Now, 1000 Bee Queens would be deployed, with each only required to cover 3 kilometers. If a Bee Queen in the middle could not function normally, then it would be bypassed, and the connection would be made with the next Bee Queen.

This way, even if some Bee Queens were lost in the middle, it would not affect the overall progress of the project.
