Chapter Sixty-Six: All of Humanity United as One!

“If we could harness sunlight effectively, the weapon we’d create would be unparalleled!”
“Perhaps right now you can’t even imagine it, but how will you know it’s impossible without trying?”
“As elite representatives of your nations, how can you lack even this much confidence?”
Upon hearing this, the crowd could barely contain their excitement.
“Well said!”
“We can do it! We are the world’s elite!”
“If such a peerless weapon could be made, it would be a feat unparalleled in history!”
...
Just as the fervor reached its peak, Chu Xiao’s tone shifted; the once soaring voice grew calm and steady.
“Good! Hold on to that passion. I believe in you. Now, let me share my vision.” Chu Xiao, seeing he had inspired them enough, hurried to redirect the conversation.
“The sun’s energy is immense. We must make full use of it and turn it to our advantage. Of course, when it comes to energy conversion, Kyushu has specialists who may not be familiar to you, but you should know that he invented the laser cannon!”
People from other nations turned to Chu Xiao, curiosity in their gazes.
To them, the invention of the laser cannon was already an unrivaled achievement.
“This man is Ren Boyuan!”
Ren Boyuan, hearing his name called, immediately grew uneasy.
Hua Bo, sitting beside him, couldn’t help but pat his shoulder, “Relax! Look at you, so timid!”
Ren Boyuan glanced at those around him, only to find every eye filled with admiration.
“Hello, everyone! I am Ren Boyuan. I hope to work closely with you all in the future!” Ren Boyuan stood and introduced himself.
Instantly, thunderous applause erupted, startling him.
“Enough! Now that we know each other, let’s continue discussing the weapon!”
At Chu Xiao’s words, everyone fell silent and turned their attention to him.

“How do we collect sunlight, and then release it as a powerful beam—that is the key issue for research now!”
“Such a beam shouldn’t explode by nature, but I hope that through molecular collisions, an explosion of sorts could be triggered! The hardest part is ensuring that such an explosion occurs only within the interior of the Pluto Weapon. I am not an expert, but I hope my suggestions can help you!” Chu Xiao finished his words in one breath, leaving everyone gaping in disbelief.
He claimed not to be an expert, yet posed an epic challenge to these scientists!
Perhaps only Chu Xiao would dare to do such a thing!
“What’s wrong? Any questions?” Chu Xiao saw their expressions and asked, soul-searchingly.
Everyone shook their heads. “No, you’re absolutely right! We’ll get started right away!”
“Yes! Right away!”
“An excellent proposal! Highly practical!”
...
Seeing their enthusiasm, Chu Xiao nodded in satisfaction. “Good! I’ll leave it to you, then.”
“If any problems arise, Kyushu, America, Europa, and North Sahara will solve them together! Now, the four superpowers must unite to fight the enemy!” Chu Xiao’s voice was resolute, his gaze unwavering, his posture straight as a mountain before the long table.
This was no longer Kyushu’s problem alone; all humanity must unite against Pluto!
Silence fell. The four nations spoke different languages and harbored their own ambitions, but at this moment, they faced a single enemy: Pluto.
A shared adversary meant they were friends—for now. United defense was paramount!
Chu Xiao said nothing more. Lips parted, he uttered two clear, forceful words: “Dismissed!”
At his command, the crowd dispersed like birds, returning to their posts to contribute to the fight against Pluto!
Humanity was united; when else to defeat Pluto, if not now?
The tense, orderly research life began in earnest.
Meanwhile, on Pluto’s side, attacks on Kyushu’s network persisted.
The Red Hackers had devised a special strategy to counter Pluto, even refining their daily routines!
The shift system was airtight.

“How’s Pluto’s incursion?” Chu Xiao sought out Zhang Hua for an update.
Zhang Hua’s bloodshot eyes and gaunt cheeks spoke of the ferocity of the attack.
“It’s intense! But we’ll manage—until the last moment when we collapse!”
“Thank you all. Take care of yourself!” Chu Xiao understood that, as the alliance leader, Zhang Hua bore the greatest burden.
Zhang Hua wanted to smile, but after so long, only managed a twisted grimace, “I’m fine! We can all endure! Fight confidently on the front line—leave the rest to us!”
Lu Dang was still on duty and hadn’t come over.
Chu Xiao glanced toward him, noticing dark circles as big as half an egg beneath his eyes.
“Take care! If you truly fall, who will maintain Kyushu’s network? Listen to me—eat well and rest well!” Chu Xiao understood better than anyone the importance of these Red Hackers—no less vital than a fortress.
After all, they were maintaining a fortress, but theirs was a war without gunfire.
Zhang Hua’s mouth opened, but the ulcers from stress made him shudder in pain.
“Alright! I’ll pass it along!”
“We will stand with the people of Kyushu, holding out till the end!” As Chu Xiao was about to leave, Zhang Hua suddenly declared.
Chu Xiao looked back at Zhang Hua, his expression complicated. Moved? Excited? He couldn’t tell, but words couldn’t capture his feelings now.
Then, all the Red Hackers shouted in unison, “We will stand with the people of Kyushu, fighting to the last moment!”
That shout seemed to drain their last ounce of strength, but powerfully expressed their determination to share Kyushu’s fate, come what may.
Their cry shook heaven and earth.
None paused their furious typing, wild hair failing to conceal their shining eyes.
Late at night, Chu Xiao did not rest, but went to the laboratory.
Inside, he witnessed a scene unforgettable to all mankind.
