The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2082: Searching for Underground Monsters
How powerful is a volcanic eruption? It is a terrible natural disaster that spews out so much volcanic ash that it can pile up into a mountain.

The power of an eruption is measured by a volcanic eruption index, with a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 8. Each higher level is ten times more powerful than the next lower level. The highest level of 8 is not the limit of volcanic eruptions on Earth, but the volcanic disasters discovered by humans are so high that we don't know how many more there are that have not been discovered.

Let's put it this way: the energy released by a volcanic eruption with an explosive index of 5 is equivalent to a magnitude earthquake. The dust that gushes out and the violent friction with the air will cause a strong discharge phenomenon. The volcanic ash emitted by a volcanic eruption with an explosive index of is enough to block the sun over a large area, lowering the temperature of the earth.
The most recent volcanic eruption of magnitude 7 occurred at Mount Tambora in the 19th century. During the eruption that lasted for several months, hundreds of millions of tons of lava and volcanic ash gushed out, covering the sky and causing the earth's temperature to drop sharply, so that many areas in the summer experienced frost or even snow.

The frequent extreme climate and cold waves around the world made that year known as the year without summer, and the body of Mount Tambora was flattened by more than a thousand meters in the terrifying explosive eruptions. The explosions produced by each eruption could be heard in almost half of the world.

As for an eight-magnitude volcanic eruption, it has never occurred since the beginning of human civilization. We can only get a glimpse of its horror in the ancient strata, and it is basically at the extinction level.

Let's put it this way, no matter where in the world an eight-magnitude volcanic eruption occurs, the entire world will enter an 'Ice Age', a huge amount of volcanic ash will block the sun for a long time, plunging half of the earth into an eternal night without sunlight, and the massive amount of magma that gushes out will be enough to flood half of the American continent, and eighty percent of the world's area will become a dead zone.

As soon as the volcano threat theory came out, the conference room fell silent, with only the sound of people sucking in air.

Everyone was shocked. They only thought that the monster burrowing into the ground would be unexpected, and their thinking was limited by the monsters that had appeared in the past. After someone mentioned it, they realized that this monster was not an ordinary monster with only beast instincts, but a Sfia synthetic beast that was fused with the Sfia sphere and possessed a high level of intelligence.

The fact that it was able to find loopholes in the Earth's defense circle and use a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain is enough to make people understand the extraordinaryness of the Sphia Sphere. However, since the Sphia Sphere appeared on Mars until now, it has been full of malice towards humans.

How can this guy, who doesn't want anything good for humans and who tries desperately to destroy them, be good after burrowing underground?
That would have to be a big deal, and the only things that could cause huge damage to humans living on earth are earthquakes and volcanoes.

So after a little thought, everyone present at the meeting concluded that such speculation was not groundless, but something that might happen.

Then everyone became even more restless.

The volcano erupted!
This is a more terrible disaster than an earthquake.

After all, earthquakes only cause landslides, cracks in the ground, and collapse of houses. Even a large earthquake will only affect a certain area. However, when a volcano erupts, thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of tons of volcanic ash enters the atmosphere, causing a huge impact on the global climate.

This is a very serious matter and may even affect the survival and reproduction of human beings on Earth.

Anyway, once this speculation came out, no one was in the mood to discuss anything else. They all started talking about how to find and destroy the Sphia synthetic beast that had shrunk underground.

Some said to send the underground tank upgraded from the underground Pippa tank - the Victory Boring Machine, to start from the place where the Sphia synthetic beast drilled into the ground, and search along the way. Although it is a bit slow, it is the safest way. After all, no matter what, it is a huge monster that is dozens of meters tall and weighs tens of thousands of tons. It is impossible to completely hide its tracks. If you follow the clues, you will definitely find the monster.

Others say that ground detectors should be deployed all over the world, using everything from ultrasound to neutrinos. As long as there are enough detectors, the monster will definitely be found.
Others say
There are a lot of ways, but none of them are reliable. We can't say that they are all talented people, they are also a bunch of young phoenixes. What good ideas can we expect? Ultimately, we still have to rely on professionals.

The Police Bureau, which has always claimed to be the successor to the Defense Force, has always considered itself to be experts in military matters. Even though some of its senior officers have never been to the front line and have rarely fired a gun, this does not prevent them from considering themselves professionals.

Therefore, at the meeting, a lot of discussion was made about the threat of the Sphia sphere, the threat of monsters, the threat of aliens, and the weakness and shortcomings of mankind. To sum it up in one sentence: send money, and send money quickly.

The more money you make from fighting and the faster you make money, the more weapons and equipment you can build, and the more armed forces you can form, so that you can surround the Earth. By then, no matter if it's a monster or an alien, they're just flies and can't enter the Earth without permission. It's nothing like now, where monsters and aliens can come and go as they please, treating the Earth as a public toilet.

How to put it, although this cannot be considered nonsense, it is also trash talk.

Who doesn't know that money makes things easier? Who doesn't know that Party B's speed depends on Party A's payment speed? But the problem is that money is never so easy to give. It takes a lot of difficulties to give a little. How can they give it easily just because of a few words from you?

what?
You said the situation is critical now?
That won’t work either.

You have to make things difficult, even if there are no difficulties you have to create them.

Especially when it's a police department that no one likes, it's even more impossible to give money readily.

You can say what you want, but just let it go in one ear and out the other. Just pretend you didn’t hear it.

The police department naturally knows this as well. They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so who doesn't know who? But even if it's nonsense, they still have to say it.

After all, they only know when you tell them. If you don’t tell them, they will never know.

Chiba Makoto supported his chin with one hand, staring at the holographic projection screen in front of him. The black signing pen was spinning rapidly on his fingertips like a butterfly, expressing "boredom" with his actions.

We hold meetings when there is something to do, and we hold meetings when there is nothing to do.

This is why no matter when you try to find the top management, you can never find them, and the response they give is always "in a meeting", because there are meetings of all sizes every day, and if you want, they can be seamlessly connected.

In the past, Chiba Makoto was curious and fascinated by TPC's various meetings, but after attending a few, his "filters" for such meetings were completely shattered.

The reason is simple, just two words: boring.

Not only is it meaningless, but it is also mostly empty talk, clichés, and even lies. It would be fine if they were just repeated over and over again, but sometimes they even make personal attacks. And these personal attacks are sometimes used to describe words, and sometimes they are used to describe the real action.

The most chaotic one was a full-blown fight. The gentlemen who were well-dressed and polite in front of the media actually started fighting with chairs. The fight was so fierce that it was an eye-opener for Chiba Makoto.

After the novelty wears off, Chiba Makoto can just not go. It doesn’t matter whether it’s open or not.

It's the same whether you come or not, so why bother going?

Even such a high-level expanded Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting is very boring. Most of the time, the two conflicting parties are engaged in a verbal battle, with so much saliva flying that it can irrigate an acre of land.

But just as he was daydreaming, he suddenly heard someone calling his name, which made Qianye Cheng look over subconsciously, and he saw... um, that person, I don't remember his name, and which faction he was from, and he didn't seem to pay attention to him. He was a nobody who usually only came with his ears, but now he was talking nonstop with his mouth open. After listening to a few words, he probably meant that if they had stopped the monster when it appeared, they wouldn't have the worries now.

Oh!
Click me!
Chiba Makoto straightened up suddenly, as if he was trying to put a hat on his head.

What’s going on? The monster was possessed by the Sphia Sphere, and the Sphia synthetic beast escaped. Is it all my responsibility?
Although he didn't name anyone, no one present was a fool and they all knew what he meant. What he meant was that if Tiga had been there at the time, and if he had appeared immediately after the monster appeared, then even if the Sphia Sphere had come, it would not have been able to possess the monster and would not have burrowed into the ground to escape. In that way, the Earth would not have faced the possible crisis and everyone would not have to sit here to discuss it.

How should I put it? When this brave "little transparent" was talking, everyone looked at each other, their eyes wandering and their expressions strange, wondering "whose hidden man is this guy?" Judging from his past performance and the position that barely allowed him to attend the meeting, it is obvious that he is not an important figure, but he dared to point the spearhead at the most powerful person at present. If you say that no one is instructing him, then it is a trick.

It's obvious that he wants to try to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

After all, there are more than one or two people in this room who have opinions about Ultraman, but they just don't say it in their hearts, and they all act in a friendly manner on the surface. But if someone wants to take the initiative to speak up, everyone will be happy to give him a push.

As for whether there will be retaliation, the people behind the scenes are hoping for it. No matter what form the retaliation takes, it can be used for publicity. After all, you are a good person and deserve to be pointed at with a gun.

Chiba Makoto listened to this guy's aggressive words with great interest. How should I put it? The manuscript was quite well written. It didn't mention anyone by name, but people could know who it was talking about; it was aggressive, but also left room for improvement.

Master!
If you take it personally, then you are admitting your mistake; if you don't, then why do you think it is directed at you?
Is this person from the police department?

Chiba Makoto's eyes swept across Chief of Staff Nanyun and Staff Officer Quan Teng without any concealment, and he saw the same surprise and frown on their faces. When they noticed Chiba Makoto's gaze on them, they smiled back.

Well, that’s not necessarily the case.

After all, killing someone with a borrowed knife is an old tradition.

Who wouldn't?

Adding fuel to the conflict is even easier.

After all, anyone who is not deaf should have heard that after he developed the GW-R project that was more than 30 meters high, the police department immediately launched a giant robot project that was more than 50 meters high. While he was working on a small New Max engine project, the police department also had a large space battleship project.

In everyone's opinion, the Police Department is eager to suppress the Space Adventure Team. Otherwise, why would they target them in everything? If you build one, I will definitely build a bigger and stronger one to prove that my strength is no less inferior.

Since the conflict is so intense, let's not mind adding more fuel to the fire.

It's a blatant conspiracy.

unfortunately
Useless.

Chiba Makoto never cares about these things. No one can be liked by everyone. Even when it comes to money, some people regret earning too much.

But not caring about criticism doesn't mean you can jump in the face and make a big move.

Therefore, Chiba Makoto immediately proposed a Kuiper Belt exploration plan. The GW-R project requires a lot of high-performance materials, which are not currently available on Earth, so it is necessary to go to the Kuiper Belt, where the environment is extremely harsh, to take samples.

Of course, the materials are not so easy to find, so we only have the date of going, but not the date of returning.

Well.
The conference room suddenly became quiet.

Those who were flirting with each other were all dumbfounded.

I originally wanted to watch someone laugh, but ended up becoming the laughing stock myself.

That's it.

That's too hasty.

What about the safety of the earth?
What about human safety?
What about Ultraman spirit?
Why just throw it away like that?

Chiba Makoto didn't care what they thought. He just got up and left after the meeting and went home to play. He really thought he cared about his position in the space adventure team.

At first, I accepted it just out of curiosity. After all, I had never been a staff member, let alone such a high position.

Now I understand that everything has its pros and cons, and it is impossible to have all the good things.

A position also means obligations. Of course, if one has no morals or accomplishments, one can just enjoy the job, but Chiba Makoto still has a bottom line. If he can't just enjoy the job, he can only work hard.

But now I feel it is getting more and more boring. It is really not as good as before. Although it is not so carefree, at least I don’t have to face those professionals with ulterior motives.

They can't be relied upon to do real work, and they are all more professional at dragging things down than the other.

If you have this idea, can't you use it to develop people's livelihood and do more good things for the people?

I really don’t understand!
Why do people always like to spend their energy and thoughts on their own people?

If you have the ability, go deal with the aliens.

There are so many aliens hiding on Earth, some of whom are full of malice towards the Earth and humans. Wouldn't it be better to deal with them?
Qianye Cheng was thinking as he walked, and then looking at the magnificent decoration, he felt that he was not so longing for it. No matter how luxurious it was, it could not cover up the filth inside.

I used to think that he must have some ability to be in the top position, but now it seems...
It is hard to say whether they are capable or not, but when they fight, they are more fierce than each other, and when they are good at passing the buck, they are more skilled than each other, and there is no shortage of idiots.

Even the most basic professional matters have to be handed over to professionals, as some of them don’t quite understand them.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people talking about how to find underground monsters and prevent the disasters caused by underground monsters.

Because there are few words that hit the point, most of it is just empty talk and has no practical significance.
