Chapter 215: The Second Stargate World?
Stag Star Gate Base.
"Hello?"
"This is Lanode. Control of Kongokaku is complete."
On Senior Director Addison's desk, the Transponder Snail reported solemnly, its face grim.
"However, the Shogunate's Higher-ups themselves nominated Yotsugawa Ayame to become the new General, so we did not carry out elimination or deterrence against them."
"That's a good thing, but also a bad thing..." Senior Director Addison said thoughtfully.
"It is indeed surprising. Originally, we were supposed to strongly push Yotsugawa Ayame to become the newly appointed General, and then use the 'Hunter Guard rebellion' to purge the Opponents."
"Although everything went smoothly in this situation, it has also planted a Hidden Danger. Something is bound to happen later," Senior Director Lanode sighed.
Senior Director Addison nodded and said, "We can only mention it to Cipher Pol. They are the Professional ones in this regard!"
"Oh right, we found some very valuable things here."
Senior Director Lanode, who was currently in Kongokaku, looked at the several important items that had been initially screened and picked out on the desk, and said to the Transponder Snail in his hand.
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Senior Director Addison was very interested in this Matter.
"In the Database here, we found the complete Design Blueprint for the 'McClatchy Mechanism High-Pressure Special Steam Engine'. All the Writing on it is in English language; it must be the Original Copy from the European Continent!"
"There are also Design Blueprints for manufacturing those large Iron-Armored Trains called 'Iron Fortress', City Design Blueprints for the 'Stations' in Various Places, and the Mineral Resource Distribution Map within Hinamoto that the Shogunate has explored over the past two hundred years!"
Senior Director Addison at the Star Gate Base smiled more and more brightly as he listened, but when Senior Director Lanode said the next thing, he was momentarily stunned.
"Besides that, there's a World Map!"
"A World Map?"
Senior Director Addison suddenly stood up and said in surprise, "You really found it! Quick, hang up the call first, we'll use the Visual Den Den Mushi!"
"No need, I brought a Fax Device when I came. We've already taken pictures of the World Map and the Mineral Resource Map and sent them over there. Send it to the Homeland for the Higher-ups to see."
Senior Director Lanode smiled.
"As for these Design Blueprints, I will have someone pack them up and send them over. I believe those Scientists would prefer to see the Original Copies, right?"
"Alright!"
Senior Director Addison had nothing more to say. He immediately hung up the Transponder Snail call and then called his Secretary outside, instructing, "Go see if a Fax has come through and bring it to me immediately!"
An hour later.
Holy Land Mariejois, Room of Authority.
Two high-definition Maps were projected into Mid-air by a Visual Den Den Mushi, for the convenience of the five men who held the highest power in the world to examine.
"Hinamoto really is an island," Saint Jaygarcia Saturn chuckled.
"Yes, judging from the markings on it, next to it is the Asia Continent, above that is the European Continent, to the west is the Africa Continent, to the south is an Australia Continent, and on the other side of the Great Sea to the east, there are the North America Continent and the South America Continent."
Saint Marcus Mars narrowed his Gaze and read out the English language marked on the Map one by one, chuckling, "It seems the Kabaneri World isn't small!"
"Referencing the area of Hinamoto, that Australia Continent to the south looks more than three times larger than Alabasta."
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter nodded.
"According to the previous Intelligence, the Kabane spread from the European Continent. So, looking at this Map, the Asia Continent and Africa Continent connected to it are likely also ravaged by Kabane."
A slight curve appeared at the corner of Saint Topman Warcury's usually stern mouth, and he chuckled softly, "If we also consider Kabane as one of the Resources, then the three Continents opposite have very few people, but are full of various Resources instead!"
"Ahem, that's a bit of reaching far for what's near. We should first arrange Hinamoto before us properly. The other Continents are there and won't run away, let's take it slow."
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said, reminding them.
This caused the Gazes of the other four to shift to the Mineral Resource Distribution Map of Hinamoto, where they found quite a few Mineral Deposits marked.
There were only four locations with the largest and most obvious text.
"Sado - Gold, Kai - Gold, Kamaishi - Iron, Iwami - Silver."
Saint Topman Warcury, as the Supreme Leader of the Political Affairs Department, was most concerned about these Natural Resources. The more he looked, the happier he became, and the curve of his mouth became more and more pronounced.
"There's actually an Iron Mine here. I wonder how big the Scale is? I'll have the Mineral Resources Department send people over to take a look later..."
But no matter what, for the World Government on Planet Sea, where Iron Ore Resources are scarce, finding an Iron Mine is definitely a great thing.
On the contrary, they didn't pay much attention to the Gold Ore and Silver Ore.
"No wonder the people of this World could lay Railway tracks everywhere, and Iron-Armored Trains were one after another, even Firearms were made of Metal..."
Saint Topman Warcury sighed with emotion.
"But now they are all ours!"
Saint Jaygarcia Saturn said heavily, holding Shodai Kitetsu. His Gaze was burning as he stared at the World Map, "A small Hinamoto has so many Mineral Resources, then..."
These words made the other four glance at him speechlessly. Who was it just now who said not to reach far for what's near?
But they could all understand this feeling of Excitement. This is the charm of a World Map; it miniaturizes an entire World and displays it before people.
"Multiverse Conquest, this is Multiverse Conquest. One Kabaneri World allows us to possess everything of an entire World. What about when we encounter more Worlds in the future..."
At this moment, the Five Elders' Breathing became heavy, but their Gaze burned with the flame called Ambition.
There is no doubt that this generation of Five Elders will definitely become the most famous Five Elders in history. Going down in history is already set in stone!
At this point, Saint Topman Warcury took a deep breath.
"Let's calm down first."
"To mine these Iron Ore and Gold Ore, there are quite a few things that need to be prepared: the Rule over the Shogunate, the Elimination of the Kabane, the Exploration by Technical Personnel, the Organization of Laborers, the Transport of Equipment. This Old Man estimates it will be difficult to officially begin mining within this year."
Saint Marcus Mars nodded and said, "The Shipyard also needs Time for construction. After it's built, Ships also need Time for manufacturing. These Matters cannot be rushed at all. We can only wait patiently!"
"Yes, the Army will also need to send in more Army next, speeding up Troop Training while first clearing out the Kabane in Hinamoto."
"From now on, Hinamoto will be our Headquarters in the Kabaneri World. Necessary cleanup is still needed!" Saint Jaygarcia Saturn also agreed.
At this moment, Saint Topman Warcury straightened up and scanned the four Colleagues around him, proposing seriously, "Everyone, This Old Man thinks it's Time to officially disclose the Matter of the Star Gate within the Government!"
Currently, within the World Government, although quite a few Higher-ups already know about Another World, it hasn't been officially announced at the official level, so work efficiency often cannot be maximized.
"You want to convene a Government Conference?" Saint Shepherd Ju Peter raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, gather all Senior Officials above Bureau Chief-level and High-Ranking Commanders from the Military, Political Affairs Department, Judiciary, Proclamation Government Institute, and Cipher Pol. Let all departments participate in the discussion of the Kabaneri World together and come up with a comprehensive Development Plan!"
After speaking, Saint Topman Warcury looked at everyone meaningfully.
"It can also be considered accumulating enough Experience for future Stargate Worlds. I believe it won't be long before Lord Imu opens the Star Gate to the second World."
"Perhaps, as early as next year!"
