   2. The high-level combat meeting of the sect. The convening of the meeting. The atmosphere in the main control room of Lu Ling Tian Hu Sect was so tense that it could almost freeze into ice. Sect leader Yu Xian sat on the command chair, his eyes burning like a torch as he scanned every senior member present. His voice was low and powerful: "The frequent sneak attacks by alien forces have made us passive. We must take the initiative and give them a fatal blow!" The first deputy sect master Lin Waner stood beside Yu Xian, her face was serious and her eyes revealed firm determination. As the overall commander of the war, she knew that every next step was crucial. Discussion on tactics Lin Wan'er spoke first: "We can't continue to defend passively. The firepower of the alien forces is too strong and our resources are limited. We must find a breakthrough." Deputy Sect Master Yunyi also nodded: "We must find a way to disperse the alien forces so that they cannot concentrate their strength on attacking us." Lin Yue'er, the captain of the personal guard, stood up. Her voice was clear and confident: "I have a plan." 3. Lin Yue'er's comprehensive combat plan Detailed explanation of the encirclement and reinforcement tactics. Lin Yue'er walked to the tactical map and lightly tapped the position of Proxima Centauri F: "Our target is Proxima Centauri F, which is an important stronghold of the alien forces. They have deployed a large number of troops and resources there. If we directly attack Proxima Centauri F, the alien forces will definitely send a fleet to support. This is our opportunity." She turned to the outer orbit of Proxima Centauri F and continued: "At the same time, we will ambush 6 fleets in this orbit. When the alien fleet enters the ambush circle, we will launch a powerful fire attack to quickly eliminate their support force." Lin Yue'er explained in detail the mission and deployment position of each fleet: 1. Attack the 4 fleets of Proxima Centauri F: • First Fleet: Commander Yun Yichen, responsible for feigning attack on Proxima Centauri F to attract the attention of alien forces. • Second Fleet: Commander Xiao Lingyu, responsible for electronic warfare and interference, disrupting the command system of alien forces. • Third Fleet: Commander Lin Yi, responsible for holding the position and attracting firepower from alien forces. • Fourth Fleet: Commander Qin Linyu is responsible for feigning attacks on the outer defenses of Proxima Centauri F to further disperse the forces of alien forces. 2. Six fleets ambushed in outer space orbit: • Fifth Fleet: Commander Su Xinghe is responsible for ambushing the left wing of the alien support fleet. • Sixth Fleet: Commander Lin Moxuan, responsible for ambushing the right wing of the alien support fleet. • Seventh Fleet: Commander Jiang Chenyi is responsible for ambushing the rear of the alien support fleet. • Eighth Fleet: Commander Shen Mengyao, responsible for ambushing the front of the alien support fleet. • Ninth Fleet: Commander Ye Lingfeng, responsible for supporting ambush operations and ensuring fire coverage. • Tenth Fleet: Commander Zhou Xingyu, responsible for supporting ambush operations and ensuring fire coverage. Blue Shield Team's cyber warfare support Lin Yue'er turned to Zhang Ming, the leader of the Academy of Science, and added: "At the same time, we also have the support of the Blue Shield Team. Under my personal command, the Blue Shield Team will be responsible for attacking the soul cyberspace station of the alien forces. This is an invisible battle, but it can directly disrupt the aliens' command system and plunge them into chaos." Zhang Ming nodded, his eyes flashing with confidence in technology: "The attack of the Blue Shield Team will be launched from the soul realm and the spiritual realm, attacking the command system of the alien forces through cyber warfare, making them unable to effectively coordinate their actions." 4. Final decision on tactics Unanimous approval Lin Yue'er's plan was unanimously approved by the senior officials present. A smile of approval appeared on Yu Xian's face: "Lin Yue'er, your plan is very thorough. We can no longer let alien forces do whatever they want on our territory. This time, we want them to know that the Luling Tianshu Sect is not easy to mess with!" Fleet deployment arrangements Yu Xian issued the order: 1. Attack the four fleets of Proxima Centauri F: • First Fleet: Commander Yun Yichen • Second Fleet: Commander Xiao Lingyu • Third Fleet: Commander Lin Yi • Fourth Fleet: Commander Qin Linyu 2. Six fleets ambushed in outer orbit: • Fifth Fleet: Commander Su Xinghe • Sixth Fleet: Commander Lin Moxuan • Seventh Fleet: Commander Jiang Chenyi • Eighth Fleet: Commander Shen Mengyao • Ninth Fleet: Commander Ye Lingfeng • Tenth Fleet: Commander Zhou Xingyu 3. Blue Shield Team: Commander Lin Yue'er, deputy commander Ye Feng, are responsible for attacking the Soul Network Space Station and disrupting the spiritual realm of alien forces. 5. Fleet data compilation and task allocation Senior and core personnel of the sect • Yu Xian: The sect master, the highest leader, responsible for overall strategic decision-making, and commanding the Lu Ling Tian Hu Sect. • Lin Waner: First Deputy Sect Master, responsible for overall command of the war. • Lin Yue'er: Captain of the personal guard, proposes combat plans, and commands the Blue Shield Team. • Yunyi: Deputy leader, responsible for the Jupiter branch. • Su Ling'er: Deputy sect leader, part-time law enforcement elder. • Su Yao: person in charge of Jupiter, deputy military commander of the base camp (Protean 6, Protean 2). • Zhang Ming (Professor Zhang): Leader of the Academy of Sciences. • Li Houtian: Deputy of the Academy of Sciences, researching new material technology, optical quantum weapons, heritage of relic planets, optical quantum chips, and third-generation photoion rapid-fire cannons. • Cangyun: Leader of the Proxima Galaxy (equal in power to deputy leader). • Chu Yanan: Head of the training base. Fleet Commander and Deputy Commander: • Yun Yichen: Commander of the First Fleet, responsible for attacking Proxima Centauri F. • Xiao Lingyu: Commander of the Second Fleet, responsible for attacking Proxima F. • Lin Yi: Commander of the Third Fleet, responsible for attacking Proxima F. • Qin Linyu: Commander of the Fourth Fleet, responsible for attacking Proxima F. • Su Xinghe: Commander of the Fifth Fleet, responsible for ambushes in outer space orbit. • Lin Moxuan: Commander of the Sixth Fleet, responsible for ambushes in outer space orbit. • Jiang Chenyi: Commander of the Seventh Fleet, responsible for ambushes in outer space orbit. • Shen Mengyao: Commander of the Eighth Fleet, responsible for ambushes in outer space orbit. • Ye Lingfeng: Commander of the Ninth Fleet, responsible for ambushes in outer space orbit. • Zhou Xingyu: Commander of the Tenth Fleet, responsible for ambush in outer space orbit. • Lu Yichen: Deputy Commander of the First Fleet, assisting Yun Yichen. • Fu Lingxiao: Deputy Commander of the Second Fleet, assisting Xiao Lingyu. 6. Preparation before the implementation of tactics. Support from the Scientific Research Institute. Professor Zhang and Li Houtian are responsible for providing technical support to each fleet to ensure that the performance of advanced weapons such as photoion rapid-fire cannons reaches its optimal state. They also provide technical support for the Blue Shield Team's soul network attacks to ensure that they can effectively disrupt the spiritual realm of alien forces. Mobilization and deployment of each fleet. Each fleet commander quickly returned to his flagship and began to mobilize fleet members, explaining tactical points and assigning specific tasks. Lin Yue'er personally went to each fleet to make final confirmation and adjustments to the tactical details. 7. Intelligence collection and analysis, and logistical support Su Ling'er is responsible for coordinating the intelligence department, collecting the troop deployment and possible support routes of alien forces on Proxima F, and providing accurate intelligence support for tactical implementation. Su Ling'er is also responsible for logistics support, ensuring adequate supply of materials for each fleet, including energy, ammunition, maintenance equipment, etc.

    "The Play Next Door": Seventy-three books, those echoes that have been crushed by the times but have never disappeared. Have you ever thought - when the beeping sound of scanning the QR code to order food replaces the waiter's long singing tune, do we lose just a melody? When the cold fields of electronic medical records cover the symptoms that the pharmacy clerk inquired about in detail, is it really just time we save? When standard-sized garments replace tailors' minute-by-centimeter manual measurements, are we really getting "efficiency"? When the crowds of hired people line up in front of internet celebrity stores, are what we see really "hot"? "The Show Next Door" is a collection of career stories that seems to tell the story of the rise and fall of an old profession. It is precisely in our era where "likes are justice and traffic is king" that it has sounded the most profound and timely alarm bell. It is not simply nostalgia, but a polished mirror that reflects the most precious things we may have left behind in our rush. 1. Four lanterns, illuminating four forgotten truths Chapter 247: The "hawking sound" of the restaurant - the end of efficiency is the wasteland of the soul. The Shaodong family in Fenghe Building replaced the sound of singing dishes passed down for three generations with "memorizing orders". The water flow rose, but the people's hearts dispersed. When the new store opposite started singing its long-lasting singing again, and customers came in like clouds, he realized that some "useless" traditions were the core competitiveness of business that could not be copied by algorithms. This chapter makes us ask ourselves: In today's pursuit of ultimate efficiency, have we cut off the "soul of experience" as a cost? Chapter 248: The "Medical Question Book" in the pharmacy - the weight of procedures is the entrustment of human life. The "Medical Question Book" of Renxintang, which records the symptoms of each customer, was abolished by the new owner as a burden. Until a tragic incident in which the wrong drug was taken and someone died. If there were records to check, I could have proved my innocence. The old man held up the broken book and sighed, which has penetrated hundreds of years: "This book does not prevent diseases, but diseases of the human heart." In the digital age where responsibilities can be easily dumped and records can be erased at any time, this chapter tortures the bottom line of our professional ethics. Chapter 249: The "Body Book" of a Ready-made Clothing Store - Besides the data, there are real people. The book that recorded the body shape changes of regular customers in the past ten years was shelved by Shaodong's "standardization reform". Until he turned over the yellowed page and saw his father's handwriting: "Mr. Zhang gained one point every year, and Po Li's back bent half an inch - the guests are like trees, with annual rings." This chapter is a gentle resistance to all behaviors that reduce living people to cold data labels. It tells us that true service begins with seeing and respecting the uniqueness and changes of each person. Chapter 250: People "cheering" in the street - fake excitement is like a paper lantern. When "hiring people to line up" becomes a new way to build momentum, when cheering becomes a pure performance, a farce of hundreds of people pretending to line up, causing a new restaurant to close immediately after opening. Yang Boliang, the old cheerleader, shook his head and revealed the secret: "The excitement is because others are willing to come, not because they are forced to watch." This chapter is tantamount to a slap in the face to all the current traffic fraud and marketing bubbles. 2. Why is "The Play Next Door" worth opening now? This is not just a novel about the "past". It is a fable about "us". It writes about waiters, pharmacists, tailors, and cheerleaders, but it may reflect your and my workplace, your and my industry, and the era in which you and I live. The fierce collision of old and new ideas in each story is the core conflict we are still experiencing today: · When the "intelligent customer service" never answers the question you asked, do you miss the "inquiry book" that can understand your meaning? · When the algorithm recommends the same "hot styles" to you, do you long for a piece of "clothes" that leaves room for changes in your body shape? · When all the voices are making noise, can you tell which cheers are sincere? The profound thing about "The Play Next Door" is that it does not simply stand on the side of "tradition" and deny "modernity". Whether it is the young owner of a restaurant or the heir to a clothing store, their original intention for reform includes the desire for progress. The ending of the story is often to find a wise reconciliation after the pain - let the efficiency system carry humanistic warmth, and let scientific and technological means serve the traditional essence. This kind of thinking is far more precious than mere nostalgia or blind progress. 3. Hear your own voice in the echo Reading "The Play Next Door" is like walking into a quiet old alley in a noisy market and hearing the clear and firm echo from the depths of time. These echoes are about: · Adherence to professionalism: that is not rigid processes, but a reverence for the trust entrusted to others. · The value accumulated over time: Trust is like annual rings, which grow round and round, but can be burned overnight. ·Reality trumps all pretense: All carefully designed false prosperity will reveal its original shape in the wind and rain of time. These stories are written for every modern person who is confused between efficiency and temperature, data and human feelings, change and inheritance. It doesn't provide easy answers, but it provides a mirror, a ruler, and a reminder. If you have ever wondered why the more you have, the more empty you feel; if you have ever been tired of those exquisite but soulless standardized services; if you also believe that some things should not be left behind no matter how fast they run - then "The Play Next Door" is worth a cup of tea and a quiet read. When you open it, you will read not only the past events of four old trades, but also a profound look at your own situation. You will find that those "useless" things that seem to have been run over by the wheels of the times may be the only password for us to settle down physically and mentally, connect with each other, and find true prosperity. The excitement will eventually fade away, but the real echo will never disappear.

    Unpopular subject matter. The spiritual group portrait of modern people. Surreal academic imagination, alternative infinite flow, and the dream of infinite topology. Something like One Hundred Years of Solitude flavored Inception? ⊙▽⊙~Dream core psychological science fiction, slow-burning and mildly scary, a serious drama, not a cool novel, no system and no time travel, some gothic suspense style, some psychological reasoning adventure flavor, some hard-core knowledge mixed with literature, art, psychology, mysticism, mathematics or theoretical physics, but at its heart it is dystopian romanticism. 💓💓The early plot focuses on modern times and the near future. It is a niche experimental work that reflects on the process of industrialized civilization based on the embodied dream of society and human nature. If you like psychology-related topics, let's read it from the beginning. If you want to understand the fantasy basis of the story first, you can read the chapters after Chapter 111.
