640: Chapter 640 Space Folding

"No, Old Qin, you can't just listen to Oriental Chen's nonsense! The Central Army's troops cannot be transferred, otherwise the Parliament will truly be hollowed out," Baili Ji earnestly advised.

He was right.

If the Parliament had no controllable military force, the people below would lose their reverence. Without reverence, who would obey the Parliament's command?

"Oh, is that so! What you said isn't without reason," Old Qin pretended to ponder.

"How about this, you summarize the military strength of the Southeast Military Region Command and all Military Sub-districts, and transfer them all to the capital for guard duty!"

He thought for a long time and came up with a bad idea.

"Old Qin, the Southeast Military Region's forces were already transferred, you know that. Now, if you add up all 12 Military Sub-districts, do they even have 20,000 Soldiers? I doubt it. This small force certainly isn't enough!" Baili Ji said with a long face.

At this moment, he had already cursed Oriental Chen a hundred times in his heart.

He believed it was Oriental Chen who had misled Old Qin.

"You figure it out yourself! Three days, I'll give you a maximum of three days to get the troops transferred!" Old Qin said resolutely.

"I... I'll think of something!" Baili Ji reluctantly agreed.

"Good, then it's settled."

"Wait! Old Qin, what do you think of this? I'll transfer the troops stationed in the Southeast Military Region to you." Baili Ji played a small trick.

Old Qin smiled knowingly.

This was exactly the trick he wanted.

"Hmph! You also said that the Southeast Military Region has less than 20,000 Soldiers, which is far from enough!" Old Qin disagreed.

"What about adding the Northeast Military Region?"

"What do you think? Baili Ji, you know the consequences of disobeying a military order, I don't need to emphasize it, do I?" Old Qin refused. Agreeing too decisively would make the intention too obvious.

"Yes!" Baili Ji dared not say more.

After the call ended, Baili Ji immediately convened a council meeting.

The Commanders of the four Military Sub-districts (Southeast, Northwest) were all at Mosang Ark Base, so they could only participate remotely via connection.

"Old Qin wants to transfer the Central Army's forces? How come we didn't know?" Zongzheng Yue asked.

The other Commanders were all unaware.

"Didn't Old Qin tell you?" Baili Ji was puzzled.

"No!" Zongzheng Yue shook his head.

"I don't think it's strange at all. If he wanted us to know, he could have directly deployed troops from Mosang Ark Base. Why transfer troops from the Central Military Region?" Yan Zhengping analyzed.

"So we don't know now?" Zongzheng Yue retorted.

"What do you know? What's the combat plan?" Yan Zhengping countered.

"I..." Zongzheng Yue was stumped.

Ultimately, their analysis concluded that Old Qin's purpose in deploying troops must be to complete a secret mission.

To complete the task assigned by Old Qin, the meeting finally decided:

All Soldiers stationed in the four major Military Region garrisons would be drawn out and assembled at Mosang Ark Base. The Military Region garrisons would be temporarily empty. The 80,000 Soldiers of the Central Army would remain unchanged.

In this way, the Soldiers Old Qin needed would be gathered, and no problems would arise in the capital.

And what Old Qin wanted was precisely this outcome.

This was the Elder's method, subtle and imperceptible, leaving everyone confused.

With all four major Military Region garrisons emptied, the cultists' plan to destroy military garrisons could only be shelved.

March 1, 2057 AD.

A bizarre incident suddenly occurred.

"Commander, Gu Qingyi is missing," Xiao Lin reported.

"Missing? What do you mean?" Oriental Chen didn't understand.

What did "missing" mean?

The base was under his complete surveillance; how could a living person just disappear?

"Just now, Gu Qingyi's life signs suddenly disappeared from the base," Xiao Lin explained.

"Pull up the surveillance!"

Xiao Lin quickly synchronized the footage to the large screen.

In the footage, Gu Qingyi was sitting at her desk.

Then, she suddenly stood up and walked towards the corner of the wall.

Then, she simply vanished.

"Are there any special devices on the wall?" Oriental Chen asked.

"Upon inspection, there are no special devices on the wall," Xiao Lin replied.

"How can this be?" Oriental Chen frowned.

Analyzing the footage before him, there was only one scientific explanation for Gu Qingyi's departure: Space Folding.

The principle of Space Folding is very similar to paper folding.

Two completely unrelated points on a plane can overlap by folding.

The same goes for three-dimensional space.

However, unlike Space Lens, Space Folding technology can only be achieved in four-dimensional space.

Other than Space Folding, he truly didn't know what other method could make a person disappear so inexplicably.

This Moni Sect is more complex than imagined!

First, there was Space Lens, and now Space Folding has appeared. Even during humanity's most technologically advanced period 100 million years ago, such achievements were not reached.

So how did the Moni Sect master these technologies?
