This scene was captured in its entirety by the Public Eye. The Public Eye is omnipresent; even in a setting like the Network Conference Room, which exists entirely outside of reality, they can show it to the audience.
"The production team did a great job; it feels quite realistic. I think the Great Federation is similar to our reality. When faced with critical issues, those guys first think about discussing responsibilities rather than how to solve the problems."
"Is the technology of UFOs really that advanced? If it weren't for the scientists explaining it in the show, I wouldn't have known there are so many types of engine ignition."
"Do you think it's possible that it's not the speed of the UFOs that's impressive, but rather that they are simply cloaked?"
"That seems unlikely, right? Didn't we see it? The UFO flew forward and then vanished without a trace; it clearly flew away."
The discussions in the Danmaku did not affect the Online Meeting of the Extraterrestrial Intelligence Agency. Under the brief explanations from the scientists, others began to understand the technological gap between humanity and Alien Life.
In the scientists' metaphors, if there were to be a confrontation, it would be akin to modern technology battling primitive humans—specifically, those who don't even know how to make fire. It would be a pure dimensionality reduction strike; admitting defeat would be all that was left.
The scientists pulled into the Online Meeting fell into a state of despair, unable to provide clear answers to any inquiries from others. They could only respond with "I don't know" or "I'm not sure."
The Chief Scientist had reached a consensus: facing technology that they couldn't even comprehend, they stood no chance and suggested voting on their response.
Some even followed Dr. Thomas's example and exited the meeting, leaving behind a parting message: "I'm not going to waste my time anymore. Before the end comes, I want to cherish my time and spend it with my family. I used to be so busy with experiments and obsessed with exploring the truth that I neglected my family."
Perhaps moved by these words about spending time with family, scientists began to withdraw one after another. Those with a bit of emotional intelligence would awkwardly apologize as they left, saying they felt powerless. Others without such social grace simply left without any further ado; they always pursued efficiency and disliked meaningless small talk.
In that vast conference room, only a few prominent scientists remained, while those who stayed were mostly junior researchers without families. This led the entire Extraterrestrial Intelligence Agency meeting into silence.
Everyone looked at each other in silence, exchanging glances but saying nothing. The atmosphere was thick with unspoken words.
Everyone here is well-acquainted with the struggles of political maneuvering—pulling votes, deceiving the public, rallying support—each one a master in their own right. But when it comes to scientific research? A detailed analysis of Alien Life? Don't make me laugh; they lack the capability to understand that!
In the increasingly silent Online Meeting, an elderly man with a notably aged appearance suddenly spoke up: "The Investigation Bureau has lost its significance. Why not disband it? The former staff of the Investigation Bureau can be merged into our Alien Life Intelligence Agency."
Old Xian's words snapped many back to reality. Disband the Investigation Bureau? Wasn't that a demand from Alien Life? How could humanity ever submit to Alien Life?
Several elder statesmen began to argue their points vigorously: "I agree." "It's a good idea."
This left the younger members of the meeting fuming and caused the audience watching this scene to burst into laughter.
