113: Chapter 113 Global Announcement, Blue Star Federation
When Chen Mo returned to Han City, it was exactly noon.
He descended from high above and entered the main conference room of the Han City Command Center directly.
Chen Mo sent a brief message through an encrypted channel.
"Meet at the Han City Command Center."
Twenty minutes later, several high-ranking officials of the Xia Kingdom had all arrived.
There were no superfluous pleasantries in the conference room.
Chen Mo sat at one end of the long table, waited for everyone to take their seats, and then spoke.
He shared the information regarding the Spirit Energy Universe.
From the structure condensing in his perception on the forty-third day after the disaster, to the emergence of the light sphere, the influx of information, the coverage range of 1.8467 trillion light-years, the regional division, the combat power rankings, and the top ten.
Down to his own ranking—sixth place.
As well as the notification of the Genius Tournament, the definition of a Star Territory-level Genius, and the mental cultivation method shared by the Tianzhi Race in the public domain.
Point by point, without leaving anything out.
The conference room fell silent for about ten seconds.
From the moment Chen Mo uttered "coverage range of 1.8467 trillion light-years," their expressions had not calmed down.
It was the kind of silence where everyone was trying to digest the information, but the sheer volume of it made their processing speeds unable to keep up.
Minister Li Long's fingers tapped the table unconsciously as he finished listening to all the information.
When he heard that Chen Mo ranked sixth in the combat power rankings, everyone's breathing in the conference room skipped a beat at the exact same moment.
"You... actually ranked sixth?"
Minister Li Long's voice wasn't loud, but it couldn't suppress his shock.
Their surprise was not without reason.
Everyone present knew that within the entire 100,000 light-year region, there were countless races and civilizations; they were well aware of how tiny the Blue Star was in the Universe.
A human civilization that couldn't even leave its own planet was like dust on a cosmic scale.
Yet, Chen Mo ranked sixth.
The senior official's lips trembled slightly.
Then came pleasant surprise—an uncontrollable joy.
The few people in the conference room realized almost simultaneously that sixth place was not just Chen Mo's personal honor, but a protective amulet for the entire Blue Star civilization.
In the cosmic hierarchy of competition, they didn't have to struggle from scratch; Chen Mo had already propelled them to a position that other civilizations could not ignore.
The official took a deep breath and composed his expression.
"As for the Regional Genius Tournament... we can only rely on you, Mr. Chen."
Chen Mo waved his hand.
"I know."
Then, he extracted the content he had recorded from the communication domain.
The Basic Mental Cultivation Method.
Shared under a real name by the Tianzhi Race.
Its core principle was to extract and manufacture a special hallucinogen through technology, allowing users to sink into their own mental sea and embark on a mental journey.
Before injection, they could set a mental scenario through self-hypnosis to conduct targeted training of their Mental Energy.
It could not be injected multiple times within a short period, as it would make it difficult to distinguish reality from illusion, but other than that, there were no side effects.
Paired with a dedicated mental recovery potion, it was currently considered on the platform to be the most effective mental training method in the Early Stage.
Chen Mo displayed the complete formula, extraction process, usage instructions, precautions, and the preparation plan for the recovery potion on the conference's holographic projection.
Then, he mentioned the threshold for entering the Spirit Energy Universe.
"Based on my data, one's mental value needs to reach approximately three points.
Currently, there is not a single person on the Blue Star who meets this. The highest is only around two point something."
He pointed to the information on the mental cultivation method on the holographic screen.
"With this, the number of people will increase rapidly."
Minister Li Long stood up.
All the high-ranking officials present stood up simultaneously, their postures solemn.
The senior official spoke; his voice was not loud, but he enunciated every word with extreme weight.
"Thank you for your help to the Blue Star civilization."
Chen Mo didn't say anything upon hearing this. He just nodded slightly.
Then, he brought up another topic.
"Prepare to establish the Blue Star Federation. Given the current situation, we must unite the global forces."
The official did not hesitate. "Yes, we will arrange it."
"There's no need," Chen Mo said.
"Announce it directly to the whole world tomorrow. Whoever doesn't join can get lost. Display everything the Xia Kingdom currently has."
The air in the conference room froze for a brief moment.
Everyone realized the weight of these words at the same time.
Whoever doesn't join can get lost.
No room was left for negotiation, and there was no phased implementation.
A single sentence slammed the entire Blue Star's geopolitics against the wall.
The international relations rules of the old era became waste paper at this moment.
The reason was the subsequent sentence.
"I am here."
Three simple words.
The senior official raised his head.
He was in his sixties and had lived through war, peace, disaster, and reconstruction.
At this moment, his tone was extremely firm, as if making a historic confirmation.
"Yes."
The massive state machine was activated at this moment.
Promotional Materials, technology demonstration plans, translated versions of the global announcement, and drafts of the legal framework—all Materials were compiled overnight.
The next morning, a synchronized global announcement was made: At 9:00 AM today, the Xia Kingdom will release an important announcement.
Exactly 9:00 AM Xia Kingdom time.
The senior official of the Xia Kingdom appeared on most of the screens that were still functioning.
There was no stirring music to set the stage, nor any emotional opening remarks.
He stood in a conference room, with a holographic data wall behind him scrolling through the parameters of the Xia Kingdom's core technology and military power in real-time.
He spoke of quantum computers.
33,321 logical qubits, engineered for mass production, with a computing capacity equivalent to millions of times the sum of all supercomputers from humanity's old era.
An artificial intelligence System paired with quantum computing power was about to be implemented.
He spoke of controllable nuclear fusion.
The plasma confinement time had broken through the Bottleneck of nearly ten years in the old era, and the engineering reactor had entered the stage of substantial construction. The shackles of energy had been completely dismantled.
He spoke of the Evolvers.
The total number of people in the Rhythm Realm had broken through 500,000, with an average strength exceeding 3 tons.
For military equipment, standardized production lines for cold weapons had gone into operation, and the first batch of lunar alloy weapons had already been deployed.
With each item he read, the data on the wall behind him refreshed in sync.
Global bullet comments flooded in within thirty seconds of the broadcast starting.
Half of them were mockery.
Others were questions: "Is this fake?"
"What quantum computer? Isn't that just a rumor?"
And silence.
Those who were silent were the political figures of various countries.
They stared at the screens.
They were looking at the details of those numbers, verifying them line by line with their own data.
The verification was very fast.
All the numbers were real.
The mocking bullet comments in the live broadcast room completely vanished within three minutes.
They knew the Xia Kingdom was progressing fast.
But they had never imagined that the two sides were no longer in the same era.
Immediately after, the senior official of the Xia Kingdom released some information regarding the Spirit Energy Universe.
The existence of the Spirit Energy Universe itself, the regional divisions, the definition of a Star Territory-level Genius, and the rules of the Genius Tournament.
He finished presenting all the information in the most concise manner possible.
The entire world fell into silence.
This silence was completely different from the disaster-induced silence a few weeks ago.
This time, it was a loss of words after the boundaries of cognition were shattered.
What lay before them was not a gap, but a chasm.
Without giving them time to digest the information, the highest leader of the Xia Kingdom read out the statement finalized by Chen Mo.
"At the proposal of Mr. Chen Mo, the pioneer of the Source Power evolution path, the Blue Star Federation is established starting today.
All countries in the world can join voluntarily.
Upon joining, all energy, scientific research achievements, and extraordinary resources will be placed under the unified allocation of the Federation."
"The existing governments of all countries will be reorganized into state-level administrative units.
The capital of the Federation will be Han City."
"Provide your response within twenty-four hours. No late responses will be accepted."
The live broadcast ended.
