Chapter 1280 - 978: Before the Start of Spring

Chapter 1280: Chapter 978: Before the Start of Spring

"Wonderful, wonderful."

In the principal’s office, Luo Su admired the abruptly rising tower outside the window, full of satisfaction.

"No budget, rebuilding the campus, I hope everyone can actively learn from Teacher Huai Shi... Isaac, remember to praise this in particular during the meeting tomorrow..."

"Principal, please be kind to your students."

Isaac replied expressionlessly, "And Lady Huai Yuan’s renovation plan was never submitted at the school affairs meeting; the procedure is insufficient and it amounts to an unauthorized construction.

Moreover, the biggest problem right now... How do we disclose Lady Huai Yuan’s identity to the public?"

"Just say she’s Huai Shi’s relative."

Luo Su answered calmly with his coffee in hand, "Who doesn’t have a distant relative, right?"

"Is it reasonable for an assassin of grandmasters to have relatives who are also grandmasters?"

"You say grandmaster is grandmaster? Hey, only the Stone Pot Society’s word counts."

Luo Su replied indifferently, "We aren’t a listed company, it’s just a change of post, why would we need to hold a press conference?

Don’t worry, she’s always thorough in her work, nothing will leak out. Besides, there’s still Huai Shi; just say he did everything, then it’s all done.

It’ll even help boost his reputation again..."

Watching Luo Su push his own student into trouble.

Isaac was speechless.

After the idle chit-chat, Luo Su returned to his desk, rare for him to stay formal without transforming into other random animals.

"So, the Existence Institute meeting just ended and you came rushing back; did you gain anything?"

"I wouldn’t say gains, but there’s one bad news."

Isaac knocked on the desk, and immediately, a thick stack of documents appeared in front of Luo Su.

It was the Current Circumstances climate environment analysis report.

A record of temperature changes across Current Circumstances over recent years, including snowfall and rainfall data, the appendix alone had more than 400 pages.

All except the Great Secret: Chalatustra’s adjustment records were authoritative data collected and verified by the Bronze Eye.

Luo Su picked up the documents and carefully flipped through them.

Reading ten lines in a glance, his speed was swift, skillfully picking out the key pieces of data, and after a full read, he didn’t find anything amiss.

But when he checked again with a doubtful attitude, he finally noticed something subtly wrong.

He lingered long over the snowfall data in America and pulled out the rainfall and snowfall data from Dongxia, Rome, and India to compare them repeatedly.

It was only when he scrutinized with a stringent eye, picking bones out of eggs, that he sensed a slight irregular fluctuation in the tables and charts.

"Looking at these few pieces alone might be easier to understand."

Isaac selected several parts and pushed them in front of him.

Under the guidance of a professional scholar, Luo Su finally detected a faint abnormality source.

Not just the tiny discrepancies between the planned and actual rainfall and snowfall, but also the bizarre deviations under the normal fluctuations of linear charts.

And, the slight disconnections in climate among different regions...

"Honestly, shouldn’t this be within the range of reasonable error?"

Luo Su pondered for a long time and couldn’t understand, "No matter how you look at it, this seems to be normal climate change."

Though Luo Su was also renowned for his knowledge and academic prowess, according to the Dongxia classification, he was firmly a humanities guy, and he hadn’t studied the scholars’ domain.

Looking at these things was inevitably somewhat challenging.

"Principal, have you not noticed the weather has already started to warm up?"

Isaac suddenly asked, making Luo Su pause.

Turning to look out the window at the nursery.

Some plants had already sprouted new buds.

"Compared to previous years, it indeed started earlier." Luo Su nodded and asked puzzledly, "But isn’t this still considered normal?"

"It’s merely a manifestation."

Isaac shook his head and selected several records to lay them side by side in front of Luo Su. ℴ

"These are the data records focused on for analysis."

"Even if you show me, I can’t figure out anything," Luo Su shook his head in distress, "Can you directly tell me the conclusion?"

"Simply put, all these seemingly normal errors, the slight impacts they cause at the end will lead to a explosive phase - after years of continuous temperature rise in Current Circumstances, we might face unforeseen changes."

Initially, no one paid attention to these small deviations within the reasonable range.

An early heavy rainfall, a seismic event exceeding estimates, the delay or change of ocean currents cycle, or a storm...

This world is too immense.

Even the Astronomical Society and the Five Constants cannot oversee everything.

Moreover, everything falls within the reasonable range.

The beginning of the year review, mid-year inspection, and year-end comprehensive tally, three major checks yearly, six routine inspections, and even daily monitoring... these data and structural deviations received unified examination yet were all deemed normal deviations without exception.

But as so many years have passed, the impacts triggered by these slight deviations have grown increasingly large, until all the causes converged, and the Existence Institute discovered the challenge it had to face.

Under a multitude of chain reactions, the climate in the Current Circumstances is set to experience large-scale anomalies.

According to the calculations of London’s mainframe and sixteen regional engines, in the upcoming period, the Current Circumstances will face unforeseen large-scale floods and droughts.

The coverage area is so extensive that it is simply astounding, possibly affecting thirty percent of the entire region.

Moreover, this thirty percent of the area mostly covers densely populated regions.

"So, from the results, Hell’s subtle infiltration into the Current Circumstances began as early as five years ago?"

Luo Su flipped through those complex data and records, comparing them one by one. Only by reverse tracing against the results could one perceive the intricacy and flawlessness of this strategic planning.

It’s simply impeccable.

"Able to subtly infiltrate the Current Circumstances over three major blockades cumulatively... such a brilliant method must be the Piper’s doing, right?"

Such deliberate groundwork, years of waiting, paving the way for disaster bit by bit. Then, striking precisely at the Astronomical Society’s weakest point during the critical moment when the war across all realms was about to unfold!

This level of patience is truly chilling.

Luo Su could already imagine how furious the Jurisdiction Bureau was upon seeing the result report.

Totally blown up!

This isn’t an unsolvable problem.

In fact, it’s completely within the range of resolution. However, it can’t be delayed, and must be faced, with no other way to avoid it.

Three feet of ice isn’t made in a single day.

When ten feet of solid ice appear beneath your feet, how could it possibly be resolved in haste?

By comparison, the Astronomical Society would rather have discovered the Ranch Owner secretly digging a big hole under London for a stroll — at worst, everyone could have a straightforward fight, instead of this tormenting situation.

Now, in order to solve this issue, they can only mobilize sufficient manpower, resources, and time to painstakingly respond. Even after resolving, there’s still the aftermath to deal with.

The cumbersome work of post-disaster reconstruction and addressing related secondary disasters.

This is indeed the truly headache-inducing part.

Widespread flooding and drought will cause an unknown number of people to develop psychological shadows toward floods and droughts, further leaving clouds and castings in the Sea of Silver.

And this collective subconscious contamination will give birth to unknown negative ’archetypes,’ unconsciously interfering with people, eventually causing the flow of Source Substance to lead various disasters into an active period, accelerating their birth.

Just like locust swarms after droughts, plagues after snowstorms...

No one knows how many notorious entities like Five Constants will be spawned; if not handled properly, it’s another cycle of chain reactions. And during this process, the Piper not stirring trouble is virtually impossible.

Meanwhile, extracting these negative archetypes from the Sea of Silver requires an immeasurable amount of effort.

The cycle of the Current Circumstances is too intricate.

Every adjustment is a massive undertaking affecting the whole structure.

Hoping to resolve it through crude measures such as data modification would instead harm the three major blockades themselves, further depleting the foundation of the Current Circumstances.

Utterly outweighing the benefits.

And don’t forget, there’s the most crucial war across all realms!

Can anyone go and discuss with those knife-wielding Rulers, saying, sorry, my kitchen at home is leaking and the heating broke, let’s skip tonight’s match for now?

After tonight, who knows how many institutions will suffer brain hemorrhages, how many overworked employees will curse their fate.

This wave strikes directly at the war potential of the Current Circumstances!

No escape.

"According to preliminary analysis results, the Existence Institute has already formulated a response plan, and given the Creators’ speed of coordination, before the disaster breaks out, the impact should be reduced by around seventy percent, keeping the disaster within a controllable range."

Isaac said, "In the upcoming period, all hydrology and meteorology scholars will be forcibly conscripted, and when subsequent disasters break out, at least six or more weather-type crowned entities will be needed to participate in coordination..."

"Oh?" Luo Su pinched his chin, his eyes moving slightly: "So, we can expect some activity from our Cloud Monarch in the future."

"Let’s wait for the Cloud Monarch to speak."

Isaac shook his head, not holding tremendous expectations.

Such a massive-scale meteorological anomaly, how much can a Fourth Stage Cloud Monarch intervene?

At most, a hundred thousand square kilometers.

Almost half the size of the Dongxia province; it sounds staggering, but compared to the actual situation, it’s a mere drop in the bucket.

This isn’t an issue that one man’s power can reverse.

After a brief contemplation, Luo Su nodded.

"I understand the general situation now."

He said, "It seems necessary for me to make another trip to London."

"Hmm?" Isaac was puzzled.

Luo Su rubbed the beard on his chin, speaking meaningfully: "With such a mess, the landlord’s house must be short on laborers, I plan to find some work for us."

Isaac immediately understood.

This guy was definitely planning to stir things up again.
