Chapter 827 238: Rule Decomposition, Real-World Crisis
Governor No.2 selected six time nodes with significant fluctuations from the curve trend chart for comparison viewing, ultimately giving up reluctantly.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the data light curtain before him dissolved like ripples.
Governor No.2 re-focused his gaze on the holographic image of Earth suspended in mid-air.
His eyes swept across monitoring nodes of various regions, checking the energy fluctuation data from each area one by one.
Just an hour ago, he received feedback from the Safety Center, warning of unusual energy fluctuations detected on Earth.
However, the unusual energy fluctuation did not have a clear marked point.
Therefore, he came to inspect specifically this time, attempting to identify which region the unusual energy fluctuation originated from through real-time monitoring imagery.
He extended his hand and pointed.
The holographic Earth image enlarged once again.
In the East Asia region, a dense cluster of light points flickered with stable blue light.
This is a core area for global basic industries, and energy fluctuations here presented predictable peaks.
Enlarging the region, factory machinery roared, city power consumption, transportation networks operation... All activities were converted into data streams and integrated into the space station's database.
The live imagery rapidly moved via satellite, providing data as each region was scanned.
Jumping to the vast plains in the central-north of North America, energy fluctuations exhibited a different pattern.
This is where agriculture and resource development intersect, giant clusters of wind turbines slowly rotating on the plains, energy readings fluctuating with wind speed.
By comparing data, no anomalies were found, so the imagery jumped again, landing in the African Continent.
At the edge of the Sahara Desert, the Breaking Clan's newly built crystal stone power station was already in operation.
Energy fluctuations have recently shown an upward trend.
The live imagery zoomed in, revealing tens of thousands of energy crystal stone plates like a silver ocean.
Comparing data to imagery, there were no anomalies, so the holographic image jumped to the depths of the Amazon Rainforest in South America.
Here, the energy fluctuations were unusually calm, except a few additional energy activity nodes since the beginning.
These were three groups that joined the Earth Alliance ten years ago, constructing small cities here.
The energy readings at the forest edge have been slowly climbing annually, with clear traces of the three groups gradually invading the rainforest.
Logging machines roar, new roads are constructed, city expansions—all activities clearly observable through comparing energy fluctuations.
Using the holographic Earth imagery, any group developing secret weapons can be monitored to obtain data anytime.
Unless the weapon's creation process does not produce any energy fluctuations.
Having jumped across several regions, the imagery and data information displayed in the monitoring showed no issues.
But since the Safety Center provided a warning, it proved there must be an unusual energy fluctuation present.
The so-called unusual energy fluctuation refers to unknown energy beyond the monitoring scope.
City power consumption, factory machinery operation, natural wind, rain, and thunder—all energy fluctuations fluctuate within expected ranges... Even if there's a trend of gradual growth, as long as the trend is stable, it cannot be judged as an unusual fluctuation.
Just like a typhoon, it will display intense energy fluctuation data.
However, the formation of a typhoon must have a clear trend.
Even if the final form is a super typhoon over Level 16, before its formation, it will surely start from a tropical depression, gradually escalating in Strength Level.
As long as the Safety Center detects the energy fluctuation at its starting phase, it can automatically simulate the subsequent strength.
Monitoring the trend of a typhoon strengthening in real-time, even if ultimately forming an 18-level typhoon, it is not considered unusual energy fluctuation.
Earthquakes are similar; their intensity increase trends can also be detected by the Safety Center.
To be deemed an unusual energy fluctuation, it must be unable to determine a trend, appearing suddenly as an unknown energy outbreak.
This kind of unusual energy fluctuation is highly likely not originating from Earth, very possibly a sign of space tunnels being opened before an Alien Race's arrival.
Upon a careful check, Governor No.2 continued unable to find the cause.
This time's ability fluctuation anomaly responded synchronously across all nodes, making it impossible to determine a specific coordinate location.
But as long as it's a cross-space tunnel, there will certainly be a core coordinate node.
Governor No.2 was searching for this possibly existing coordinate node.
After hours of fruitless searching, Governor No.2 continued with concentrated effort in search and examination.
An Alien Race's arrival is no small matter, potentially erupting a worldwide war anytime.
Only by understanding in advance can sufficient preparations be made.
23 hours later, with the help of the Intelligent Brain assistant, Governor No.2 began comparing detailed imagery of local regions.
At this moment, the Intelligent Brain assistant issued a prompt:
"Detected unusual energy fluctuation at 45.6 degrees west, 32.8 degrees north, similar to the previously detected unusual fluctuation."
Governor No.2 raised his right hand, the Earth image rapidly spinning to the backside and freezing, then enlarging.
Presenting a live image above the Atlantic Ocean.
Energy fluctuation showed a bizarre dark red color, like a wound tearing through the calmly rotating blue.
Governor No.2's expression turned solemn, fingers lightly tapping in the air, calling out the data analysis panel.
Energy readings constantly climbed, having exceeded the safety threshold.
This evidently was not a normal natural disaster nor any known type of energy weapon.
"Level 3 alert, retrieve all nearby satellite monitoring." Governor No.2's voice echoed in the wide safety center.
