In the suburbs of Beijing, He Xingzhou gave his research a simple name that was easy to remember. It was called "Sentry Tower". It implied that this scientific research institute would become the "Sentry" of human civilization, and it would sound the alarm bell and blow the whistle to alarm the world that the end of the world was coming!
After a few days and nights of renovation by the engineering team, the Sentry Tower had finished renovating a small office area. The other parts were still under construction, but He Xingzhou could not wait to meet his team.
Right now, no one knew when the Zerg race would erupt on earth. Time was of the essence!
Inside the Sentry Tower, in a conference hall that could accommodate hundreds of people, many experts and researchers from all over the country, even those who had rushed back from abroad, gathered here.
A few of them knew the purpose of their visit and their expressions were serious and solemn, while most of them were suddenly recruited. Most of them had no idea what was going on.
"Wow, they've gathered so many people. There are biologists, physicists, chemists, military scientists, psychologists... There's basically an expert in every field here! What are they doing?" Before the meeting began, everyone whispered.
"It's not simple. I signed a confidentiality agreement before I came. This is a state secret!"
"It's not just us. I heard that some people have been transferred to other places. What are they going to do?"
"To gather all of us together, could it be that they're going to war?"
As these people were hypothesizing why there were here, four people walked in from outside the conference room.
The person in the lead was a young man. Everyone looked at him curiously. Most of the people present were in their thirties or forties. There were even old experts and professors in their seventies or eighties.
The young people of today were especially obvious here. Behind him was the head of the National Security Bureau, Yang Bo, who had arranged for them to come here.
In addition, there were two people dressed as soldiers, a man and a woman.
Yang Bo and He Xingzhou stepped on the stage together. Yang Bo looked at the experts and spoke first, "Everyone, please quiet down."
All of the elites here immediately quiet down.
"Everyone should know who I am. The organization gathered everyone here today for a major event that concerns the safety of the country, the fate of the people, and the entire human race!"
"Some of you may already know about it, but most you don't know the details yet."
"Next, The person in charge of the Sentry Tower, the whistleblower of Project Black Tortoise, wil give a detailed introduction of the Project Black Tortoise, as well as the purpose of gathering all of you here!"
"Let's welcome comrade He Xingzhou!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead in clapping. Everyone clapped one after another and looked at the young man curiously.
He Xingzhou walked onto the stage and looked at the crowd calmly. If he was an ordinary student, he would have been scared to death and stuttered when he saw so many big shots.
However, He Xingzhou had already seen leaders at an even higher level before. He was already mentally prepare to give his speech today.
"Hello seniors. My name is He Xingzhou. Currently, I am a student at the Capital University of Science and Technology. However, I have another identity. That is, the whistleblower for Project Black Tortoise."
"What is the Project Black Tortoise you might ask? Why is everyone gathered here? Well, please watch these videos first."
He turned on the large screen in the conference room. A short video of He Xingzhou's finding on the Zerg race as well as some details from the scientific academy began to play.
In the beginning, most of the elites felt a little confused, "Are we watching a movie?"
"That's not right. It says that this is all real!"
Gradually, they realized that something was wrong. They could not help but ask,
"Oh my god, how can there be such a monster? Is it real?"
"So many academicians from the Academy of Sciences have verified it together. It must be real!"
"The Zerg race crisis response team has established!"
"Project Black Tortoise. So is this Project Black Tortoise? To prepare for the disaster of the Zerg race!"
"So this is what they meant by whistleblower. There's also the Black Tortoise executives! This He Xingzhou's plan is too crazy. It's simply almost unachievable!"
"So that's how the Sentry Tower came to be! No wonder why they asked us to gather here. It's actually for this matter!"
..
They felt that their world had been turned upside down. It turned out that this seemingly peaceful world had encountered such an unprecedented disaster!
A disaster will sweep across the world was being nurtured under the ocean!
Everyone was shocked. They were immersed in this huge disaster and the Project Black Tortoise, unable to extricate themselves!
He Xingzhou waited for a full ten minutes before speaking, "As you can see, everything in the video is true."
Yang Bai said loudly, "Comrades, we have reached the most critical moment. Are you willing to join the Project Black Tortoise and give your life and dedication to it?"
"We are not forcing this matter. Once you join, it will inevitably affect your normal life and work. Those who are not willing to join can withdraw from it."
After he finished speaking, an 80-year-old professor immediately stood up and said, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the common man! To be able to participate in such a project, I can die without any regrets in my life!"
"Professor Liu is right. A national crisis is at hand, how can we ignore it?" Another expert shouted, "I am willing to join!"
Everyone else spoke up, "This Project Black Tortoise makes my blood boil. I will definitely not miss out!"
"Since we're already here, how can we desert?"
"When I signed the confidentiality agreement, I was already mentally prepared! I just didn't expect to participate in such a grand plan."
"Haha, how can we still back out now? I've already explained it to my wife and children!"
"Although my knowledge is shallow, I'm willing to contribute!"
"If I leave now, I won't even have the face to go back to meet my ancestors!"
"Let's not waste time. What do we need to do? Let's hurry up and start!"
He Xingzhou looked down the stage and saw that everyone had raised their hands with impassioned expressions. No one was going to leave!
He Xingzhou knew that this project will be difficult on everyone's lives. It might take years, or even ten years, before they could return to their normal lives. There might even be life-or-death situations. However, these elites, from the strong young men and women, to the old masters of the academic world, all chose to stay without hesitation!
These elites knew that joining the Sentry Tower and participating in Project Black Tortoise meant that they were the first line of defense against the Zerg race. If they didn't step up, did they expect normal civilians to step up in their place?
Without the country, there won't be a home. The country comes first.
"Good, good, good!" Yang Bai's face was red as he shouted out. He became very excited when he saw that everyone was so cooperative.
He Xingzhou sincerely bowed and also thanked everyone, "Thank you for your support! Everyone, don't worry too much. We have not reached the most critical moment yet. There still aren't many mutated Zergs in the ocean yet. We still have time!"
"Now, let me introduce to you what we are going to do at the Sentry Tower!"
