The whole city looked like hell at a glance.

And this was just the edge of the city covered by the attack.

......

The entire thread below was uniformly filled with:

"My condolences!"

......

Su Mo took a deep breath and then closed the post.

Immediately afterwards, he saw posts for help popping up one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain.

"Federal region, offering a high price for tickets to Xinghuan Zhi Cheng (City of Star Rings), any amount of star coins will do!"

"Heck Free State region, seeking tickets to leave, any conditions considered."

......

All of them wanted to escape to Xinghuan Zhi Cheng, especially those from the Federation, which was normal since the Federation was currently under attack.

Although they were holding on now, it didn't mean they could hold on the next time.

Su Mo could imagine how panicked and helpless the people in the Federal region were right now.

It wouldn't be surprising if order was on the verge of collapse.

Just then, a communication request suddenly popped up.

Qian Chengxue's heart suddenly tightened upon seeing it. Finally, she sighed and said to Su Mo, "Su Mo, we've received a communication request from the Federal Special Operations Command Center."

Su Mo was slightly taken aback and replied.

"Connect it."

......

Joint Operations Command Center.

"Connecting Commander Tia of the Fifth Expeditionary Force, Commander Qin Wu of the Federal Second Expeditionary Force..."

After thinking it over, Alais finally issued the order.

"Okay!"

Hai Yue immediately responded.

"Oh, right, connect Su Mo's communication as well."

Alais thought for a moment and added.

In just a few dozen seconds, virtual images connected, and everyone connected was a high-ranking operational commander from the Federal fleet.

"Council Speaker Alais."

Su Mo and the others said with solemn expressions.

"As you can see, the situation is extremely dangerous. We estimate that there is only one hour and thirty minutes left until the enemy launches their next attack. And we are very likely to be unable to withstand the next attack. Does anyone have any good ideas?"

Alais raised his hand, signaling everyone to dispense with formalities, and asked directly.

"This..."

"They're so far away, what can we do? We can't fly over there in time."

......

Tia and the others were also extremely troubled.

Alais's gaze couldn't help but fall on Su Mo.

Su Mo also gave a wry smile and shook his head. This time, he really had no solution.

Alais quietly looked at the many commanders for a full dozen minutes. Seeing that no one had come up with a feasible solution, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and turned to Hai Yue, saying.

"Connect me to the under-construction multi-functional planetary transition fortress, Zhi Xing Zhi Guang (Light of Wisdom)."

"Yes!"

Hai Yue was slightly stunned, then replied.

Soon the communication connected, and the virtual images of Lin Wei and other doctors in white research suits appeared, with Lin Wei among them.

"Council Speaker Alais? What can we do for you?"

Dr. Sebas, who was in charge of the research, asked with suspicion.

Alais took a deep breath and asked, "How is the construction of the multi-functional planetary transition fortress, Zhi Xing Zhi Guang, progressing?"

"Everything is going smoothly. The main structure is complete. Is something wrong?"

Dr. Sebas asked with a bad feeling.

They had been busy building the multi-functional planetary transition fortress, Zhi Xing Zhi Guang, and hadn't paid attention to what was happening outside at all. Moreover, to maintain secrecy, communications in their area were blocked, and they couldn't even access the Xinghuan (Star Ring) Forum.

The only communications that could connect were from the Federation.

"The situation has changed. The Federation is facing the greatest crisis in history. Enemies are constantly attacking us at the border between the Rhein Star Region and the Ring Star Sea. I now need the multi-functional planetary transition fortress, Zhi Xing Zhi Guang, to open a transition gate and send our warriors over there. Can you do it?"

Alais asked directly.

When Su Mo and the others heard this, their eyes lit up, and their hearts were raised.

However, soon their hearts sank.

After hearing this, Sebas and the others jumped up and said to Alais.

"Council Speaker, this is impossible. The multi-functional planetary transition fortress, Zhi Xing Zhi Guang, is only 43 percent complete and cannot open a transition gate at all."

"That's right, it's completely impossible to open. Although the transition equipment has been installed, forcibly starting it will definitely cause it to explode!"

"Completely unfeasible."

......

All the research doctors present excitedly advised against it.

Hearing this, Alais sighed deeply, just as he had expected.

In fact, Alais also knew that he was being a bit demanding. But if there was even the slightest chance, he wouldn't do this.

Seeing this scene, Su Mo and the others were silent, and their last hope was dashed.

Just then, an abrupt voice suddenly sounded.

"It's not impossible."

Whoosh!

Instantly, everyone in the special operations command center, including Su Mo and the others who were connected, all looked over.

Lin Zinuo, who was standing next to Lin Wei, suddenly spoke.

As soon as she said this, Lin Wei was shocked. He hurriedly scolded Lin Zinuo.

"Don't talk nonsense. What solution could you possibly have?"

Alais said, "Don't interrupt her. Let her speak!"

Seeing that Council Speaker Alais had spoken, Lin Wei's face turned red and then pale. Although unwilling, he could only shut up. Even so, he still hinted with his eyes that Lin Zinuo should not talk nonsense.

Seeing this scene, Su Mo was also very surprised. He didn't expect Lin Zinuo to stand up, and he became even more curious about what she would say.

Wearing a white research suit with long black hair reaching her waist, Lin Zinuo took a step forward and said to Alais, "Although the multi-functional planetary transition fortress, Zhi Xing Zhi Guang, has not been completed, its main structure is almost finished. It is entirely possible to open the inner-circle transition gate."

As soon as these words came out, the other research doctors present couldn't sit still and began to accuse her.

"Isn't this nonsense? How much pressure will be caused by opening the transition gate? It would be a miracle if the entire fortress doesn't disintegrate."

"It will definitely disintegrate, one hundred percent. If it could be opened, we would have said so long ago."

"You're just a small research assistant, how dare you talk so carelessly!"

......

Even Dr. Sebas, the chief researcher, frowned and said, "A fantasy."

Faced with everyone's accusations, Lin Zinuo's expression did not waver. She said very rationally.

"I have reviewed the entire construction diagram of the multi-functional planetary transition fortress, Zhi Xing Zhi Guang, and participated in the construction. I am very clear about the progress of the project. As long as we adjust the power of the transition device to the lowest level, while shortening the opening time, controlling the time to around fifteen seconds, and then using the safety device to forcibly shut down the transition device, the multi-functional planetary transition fortress, Zhi Xing Zhi Guang, may not disintegrate. At most, the main structure will be damaged, and we can rework it."
