Watching the silhouette that finally burst through the flames, in the Sky Brilliance Country’s military base, those personnel who were cheering and celebrating fell silent.
Not only them, but even the big figures from the True Immortal Research Institute suddenly stood up from their seats again, quickly completing a weak but full-blooded resurrection performance.
"It wasn’t destroyed!? The Falling Star wasn’t destroyed!?"
"The target has entered the cloud layer, repeat, the target has entered the cloud layer and concealed itself, we have lost its target."
"Our plan has failed."
Soon, the military base of the Sky Brilliance Country resumed operations.
Information rapidly transmitted to the Sky Blue Federation conference room thousands of miles away.
And as everyone in the conference room listened to the report from the military base, the atmosphere was dead silent.
At this moment, Minister of Defense Karis suddenly said: "Things are not as bad as we imagined."
This elderly woman waved her hand, quickly gaining access to the conference room’s large screen and captured the last recorded image, continuously enlarging it: "We urgently used the most advanced image enhancement technology. According to the final moments captured, although we ultimately did not manage to bring down the Falling Star, we have severely damaged it. Please take a look..."
Her words quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
After they studied the images one by one, they each let out a breath.
"The Falling Star was severely damaged! Moreover, from its decisive entry into the cloud layer to avoid pursuit, we can infer it has lost at least half of its combat power!"
"Indeed, it seems our plan succeeded."
"As long as we can severely damage the Falling Star, it proves our strategy is feasible. What remains is to continuously refine and perfect the plan. This time, if we had not dispatched only twelve Shu Guang Goddess UAVs but all twenty-four possible UAVs, the Falling Star would not have escaped."
These big figures from the Blue Star Federation each expressed their opinions, regaining their confidence.
"We have already conquered the relevant technology. Next, it’s merely a matter of mass-producing the Shu Guang Goddess UAVs and Star Fall Missiles... Despite the dependencies on the Cosmic Light Laboratory and the significant costs, if we go all out without regard for expenses... at the latest, in six months, we can produce twelve more UAVs and over fifty Star Fall Missiles, and in a year, we’ll have over thirty-six UAVs and more than a hundred missiles."
Karis spoke loudly, delivering a strong boost of morale to everyone.
"Thirty-six Shu Guang Goddesses, plus our existing twelve UAVs, will be more than enough to besiege and destroy that Mecha!"
"Increase funding! We need to see faster results!"
Each top decision-maker from their respective countries spoke up.
Robert solemnly stated: "This attempt to lure and kill has already enraged the enemy. We might not have that much time! Within six months, we must possess over thirty-six UAVs and more than a hundred Star Fall Missiles!"
"Six months... That might cost billions of Federation Coins..."
"I will apply to Congress; whatever amount is needed, we will provide. Since it has been proven that these two weapons are effective, we must spare no effort to arm ourselves fully. Moreover, we require further support from various countries."
Robert said, sweeping his gaze over everyone: "Don’t forget, our enemy is not just that Falling Star, but also the True Immortals of the Longevity World! The Longevity World is our true target!"
Commander Mike, Prince George, and others had their eyes shining.
This time, the rapid establishment of the Star Shining Federation was facilitated by using the secrets of the Longevity World as an enticement.
Under the allure of longevity, these countries quickly reached a consensus and completed a technology-sharing initiative, leading to the debut of Shu Guang Goddess UAVs and Falling Star Missiles in less than two years.
"We have calculated that the combat power of the Cheng Ying Mecha is comparable to that of a True Immortal. Since we have severely damaged it with the Shu Guang Goddess squad, we can undoubtedly destroy the Beast God Alliance’s resident True Immortal as well."
Robert said: "Of course, considering that intelligent life should be more flexible than metallic life, we should have more UAVs and more missiles to deal with the resident True Immortal!"
At this point, he paused slightly: "Considering the maximum number of resident True Immortals in the Longevity World could reach double digits, and they might counterattack us on Blue Star after taking Mu Long Country, our military strength should be as robust as possible."
Two-digit number of True Immortals...
Reflecting on the intelligence of the Longevity World.
As well as the military strength needed to conquer the Longevity World...
Even at the current level, it might take three to five years before officially entering the Longevity World.
Three to five years...
Who knows if within these three to five years, they might suddenly deteriorate due to illness or accidents?
Or even abruptly be impeached by rivals, losing their power.
Thinking of this, George, Mike, and the others exchanged glances: "We will allocate funds from other areas to increase investment in the Cosmic Light Laboratory."
As for livelihood and construction aspects...
A little stoppage doesn’t matter.
The populace has food and drink, what more do they want?
"Can we contact Mr. Lu Ya? How is he doing now? Is his Mecha damaged? If he needs help, just say the word, and we will do our utmost to cooperate."
