111: Chapter 111 High Alert: Empirical Evidence of Civilizational Contact

The cold and precise analysis report from "Fuxi", like the final hammer of judgment falling, completely confirmed a fact capable of overturning human civilization's self-perception. That report, along with all the video materials sent back by the "Secret-Peering" team, was urgently submitted to the highest power core of the Dragon Kingdom—the top-secret conference room of the "Watchers" leadership group.

Inside the conference room, the atmosphere was so heavy that it felt as if the air itself had solidified. Elder Li slowly put down the report in his hand, his gaze sweeping over every core member present. His voice was low and hoarse, yet carried an unquestionable power:

"Everyone, the analysis results from 'fuxi', as well as our discoveries beneath the moon, no longer require any doubt. What we are facing is not conjecture, not theory, but irrefutable... empirical evidence from an extraterrestrial advanced civilization."

He paused deliberately, letting the weight of these words deeply imprint themselves in everyone's hearts.

"What does this mean?" he continued, his gaze like torches. "It means that humanity is not alone in the universe. But it means even more that we have, and perhaps even in the future will, exist under the gaze of a civilization far more powerful than our own, or rather... in its shadow."

"This wreckage, and the 'reaper' that is approaching, have pushed our Dragon Kingdom, and indeed the entire human civilization, to a historical crossroads. Survival or destruction is no longer a distant philosophical proposition, but an imminent, realistic threat!"

"Therefore, I declare—" the old man stood up abruptly, his voice resolute, carrying a determination to lead civilization forward, "Effective immediately, the Dragon Kingdom's national threat level is raised to the highest level—the 'Civilization Watch' level!"

"All national resources are to be unconditionally tilted toward the 'north heavenly gate project', the 'Firewood Project', the 'network', and the 'Thousand-Mile Eye Plan'! Everything must make way for survival, everything must lay the foundation for the future!"

"The entire nation is entering a state of total mobilization for the 'Deep Blue Era'! The industrial system is shifting entirely to a wartime track, the scientific research field is focusing on interstellar defense and jump technology, and the social level is strengthening cohesion and risk-resistance capabilities! We must use the time of one generation to walk the path that others might have taken tens of millions of years to traverse!"

The order spread like a wildfire, instantly reaching every nerve ending of the Dragon Kingdom. From this moment on, the Eastern Dragon, already awakened, would no longer soar merely for its own prosperity and development, but would embark on an epic expedition racing against time and struggling against fate for the survival of the entire civilization.

Inside the "Candle Dragon" safe house, Lin Mo simultaneously received the information about the activation of the highest alert and the total mobilization order. Almost at the same time, the system's prompt arrived as scheduled:

【Confirmed empirical evidence of civilization-level threat. Main mission "Deep Space Eye" weight increased.】

【New stage mission released: Laying the foundation for the "Civilization Ark".】

【Mission Requirements: Assist the Dragon Kingdom in constructing a comprehensive defense system that possesses initial planetary defense capabilities, achieves generational breakthroughs in key technologies, and ensures the preservation of the seeds of civilization before the "reaper" arrives.】

【Mission Time Limit: Based on the "reaper" acceleration model, remaining time estimated: 7 years (optimal) to 3 years (worst).】

【Mission Reward: Unlock 【Stellar-level Tech Tree】 branches and corresponding knowledge based on completion rate. Failure Penalty: Civilization termination.】

Seven to three years!

Lin Mo took a deep breath and engraved this countdown into his mind. Time was unprecedentedly urgent.

He looked at the hideous silhouette marked as the "reaper" on the holographic star map, and then looked at the long "Stairway of the Gods" in the system interface.

The road ahead was full of thorns, surrounded by powerful enemies, and time was like a death warrant.

But there was not a trace of fear in his eyes, only a firmness like a monolith.

The empirical evidence had appeared, the alarm had sounded. From now on, every heartbeat of the Dragon Kingdom would be synchronized with the pulse of the sea of stars; every step he took would be linked to the future of civilization.
