Planet Builder - Chapter 21

Chapter 21: Chapter 21 A Crazy Proposal!

He Xingzhou said, “My plan is divided into three steps!”

“I think that the Zerg gene pool that we know about is just a drop in the ocean, and the Zerg is just a generic name for an extraterrestrial organism. They have different divisions of labor and abilities.”

“Before we know enough about them, whether it’s biological weapons, cold weapons, or thermal weapons, their effects are very limited. Moreover, the Zerg’s range of activity is the entire ocean. We can’t suppress them!”

“The occupation of the ocean by the Zerg is an inevitable outcome. In order to protect our country and the safety of our people, the first step we need to take is to build a great steel wall along the 18,000 kilometers of China’s coastline!”

“This great steel wall is nearly 100 meters tall. There must be a super high-speed rail transport line within it. There must be a military fortress set up at a certain distance!”! “The entire Great Wall of steel must be equipped with missile launchers, cannons, laser weapons, and it would be best if there were mecha armament forces and other high-tech defensive measures.

“Only in this way can we keep the Zerg in of the ocean!”

“In addition, in China, we must also build a super military fortress, a military base that can accommodate hundreds of millions of people!”

“It should utilize nuclear fusion technology as its main source of energy, and have an artificial intelligence city management system, an automated ecological farm, a robot factory, an arsenal, a military camp, a school, a living area, a business area, and so on.”

“I think that the creatures on land will also have the possibility of mutating into a Zerg. With this super military fortress, we can guard the rear and defend against the Zerg invasion on land! I call it a planetary fortress!”

When He Xingzhou finished his first step of the plan, all the experts and academicians had a look of listening to a heavenly book.

“18,000 kilometers, the great steel wall that surrounds the coastline of the whole country?” An expert said, “Do you know how much money and how many people it will cost?”

“Countless!” He Xingzhou said, “That’s why I said that only the strength of the whole country can complete it! “And it must be done at all costs, no matter the cost. “In order to reduce the cost, we can water the steel with high-strength concrete inside, but we must put steel armor on it outside. The destructive power of the Zerg will be beyond your imagination!”

“This is too crazy, this is impossible!” An expert said, “It will cover the entire country’s coastline, let alone whether it can be completed or not.”

“Once this plan is implemented, it will affect the country’s economy, ecology, and many other factors!”

He Xingzhou retorted, “Once the Zerg disaster arrives, there will be no economy or ecology to speak of! Surviving is the first goal!”

“This plan is simply wishful thinking!” A military scientist stood up and said, “He Xingzhou, your idea is indeed very bold, but the biggest problem is that we don’t have that kind of technology at all!”

“The amount of manpower, financial and material resources needed to build the Great Wall of steel is still an open question. “Just the planetary fortress that uses nuclear fusion technology as its energy source, as well as the mech and automated robot factories, these are technologies that currently don’t exist!”

“No one can guarantee that technology will develop to that level within a few decades!”

“That’s right. The Steel Great Wall project that you mentioned has an unprecedented workload, and it involves all kinds of new technologies. The difficulty of the technology is no less than fighting a World War!” The military scientist He Hongwei commented, “However, I support your idea of building the planetary fortress! We do need a backup plan!”

“This plan will consume almost all the resources in the National Reserve!” Said Lu Mei, a sociologist. “I think it’s too exaggerated.”

Kong Qing, Cui Weimin, Qin Peng, and the others also felt that He Xingzhou’s plan was too difficult to implement. A great steel wall that was 18,000 kilometers long? Could mankind really build such a great project?

Even so, Kong Qing still said, “Everyone, please be quiet and listen to He Xingzhou finish the plan. We will discuss it later.”

Everyone immediately quieted down. He Xingzhou continued, “If we can achieve the first step of the plan, we will be able to defend our mainland territory for several years.”

“At this time, continue to develop and manufacture weapons against the Zerg. Then, we will begin the second step, to counterattack the Zerg and march into the ocean!”

“The second step, we must have at least a thousand nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, a hundred thousand, or even a million warships and submarines! To counterattack the Marine Zerg

“Since humans are not as flexible as the Zerg in the ocean, we can build a floating fortress on the ocean. You can think of it as a super aircraft carrier, a navigable military base on the ocean.”

“At the same time, we need to build an underwater city under the ocean to jointly attack and suppress the Zerg in the ocean. With the ocean, we can go to other continents and completely destroy or suppress the Zerg on Earth!”

When He Xingzhou mentioned this plan, there was only one thought in everyone’s mind. It was impossible!

This sounded like science fiction. Not to mention China, even the United States, which had the strongest military strength, would not be able to do it!

“The third step is to step into space!” He Xingzhou said. “If the Zerg are extraterrestrial beings, they might also exist on other planets in the Solar System or have their own bases in space.”

“We need to launch rockets, build the sixth generation space station, a space port, land on the Moon and Mars, and build an extraterrestrial base to cover the exploration and strength of the surrounding planets to ensure the safety of the Earth!”

“This is my three-step plan. It involves countless projects, missions, and especially scientific research and development. I believe that it can only be completed with the combined strength of the entire nation! I have finished my speech.”

After He Xingzhou finished speaking, the experts present fell silent. There was only one thought in their minds — Crazy!

Those who could come up with such a plan were either geniuses or crazy!

Could it be done with the combined strength of the entire nation? It was unknown whether it could be done with the combined strength of the entire human race!

Moreover, it had to be done in just a few decades. Was that even possible?

Impossible! This was everyone’s first thought.

When He Xingzhou saw their expressions, he knew that it would be difficult for them to accept his plan. He had been prepared for this, and this was not their fault.

Although they were top experts in various fields in China, they were only creatures from a level 0.7 civilization. They could not understand the technology and power of a high-level civilization!

He Xingzhou had not told them about his Dyson sphere plan. If he did, some people would think that he was dreaming!

There was a full minute of silence, and no one expressed their opinions. Because they had nothing to say. Besides He Xingzhou himself, no one thought that his plan could be successfully implemented!

He Xingzhou broke the silence in the meeting room, he said, “If you give me the resources, I can prove that this plan can be successful! For example, the great steel wall or the military base plan. If I have a chance to try it, let me preside over the construction of a small section of the great steel wall or part of the technological research and development, everyone will know the feasibility of my plan!”

He Xingzhou knew that this proposal would be difficult to agree to, but he had to bring it up first before he could carry out his own further plans. Lu Xun once said, “The Chinese people always like to reconcile and compromise. If you say that this room is too dark and we need to open a window here, everyone will definitely not allow it. But if you advocate removing the roof, they will come to reconcile and be willing to open the window.”

The panel would be more receptive if he threw out the crazy idea and then proposed his own pilot project.
