Planet Builder - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 22, Project Black Tortoise

“He Xingzhou’s plan is very Ambitious!” Kong Qing praised first. He said, “Although it sounds very difficult to implement, why don’t everyone think about it?”

“If the threat of the Zerg is really as big as He Xingzhou said, I’m afraid that our other methods will be useless. The Great Wall of steel plan can be used as a backup plan! What do you think?”

What he said was actually a tactful rejection of this plan, so as not to hurt He Xingzhou’s enthusiasm.

In the end, He Xingzhou’s plan was challenging the impossibility of humans, so no one had the trust or confidence in him.

However, they did not reject it completely. Cui Weimin nodded, “I think that will work. We can’t just have one plan for the Zerg disaster, the more we have, the better.”

“This plan of the Great Wall of steel and the planetary fortress can be used as an alternative plan. Let’s test the waters first!”

Qin Peng did not have any objections. He said, “In the face of such an unknown disaster, the more the better! I strongly agree with the planetary fortress plan!”

The others also expressed their views. They all agreed that the plan of building a military base and a refuge city was feasible. The Great Wall of steel plan could only be used as an alternative plan for now. They could only carry out small-scale trials.

He Xingzhou took the opportunity to say, “Then I hope to obtain a certain amount of resources to conduct research on related technologies.”

Kong Qing nodded and said, “There’s no harm in trying. As for how to do it, we’ll discuss it at a later date.”

“Next, we’ll start to express our opinions on the various plans. Let’s pool our idea together.” Kong Qing announced.

Everyone started discussing, and there were many opinions.

“I think we should report this matter to the international community and unite the forces of the entire world to resist the Zerg disaster!” Someone said.

“I object!” An international relations expert stood up and said, “The countries around the world are not as united as we imagined, especially once such a doomsday disaster occurs.”

“Not only will they not unite, but they will restrict each other and attack each other! They will even claim that we are spreading rumors and won’t take our warning seriously.”

“That’s right!” Cui Weimin said, “The previous world-wide disaster has already shown us how big the differences between countries are!”

“When the disaster comes, they will fight for strategic, survival, and medical supplies! They will punish each other, create friction, and target us again and again!”

“Right now, the Zerg race disaster is just our imagination, they won’t believe it!”

“Our first priority is to protect the Chinese people, so at this stage, it’s not suitable for us to make it public. However, we can appeal to all countries to pay more attention to protecting the environment and studying mutated organisms.”

“If they really pay attention to these issues, they will definitely find out about the Zerg race genes and take measures!”

“The real announcement can only be made when we are sure that the Zerg calamity will befall us.”

“If we announce it rashly, some places might even jump the gun and start a war!”

“Director Cui is right.” Several important leaders expressed their agreement. “Now is not the time to announce it! If we announce it now, it will only make our preparations even more difficult!”

“Okay, then we will set up a bylaw right now. The Zerg crisis will become the top secret mission of SSS level. No one is allowed to announce it without permission!”

“Once we are certain that this will happen, we will announce it to the public!” Kong Qing said, and the Secretary next to him wrote the matter into the bylaws.

“In addition, we need to use our foreign exchange reserves to purchase large amounts of materials from abroad especially the various raw materials needed for infrastructure improvement!” The experts continue to advise, “We need to set up a special organization to do this to avoid causing unnecessary economic problems!”

“We need to focus on scientific research. Without scientific and technological innovation, there’s no way to talk about dealing with the crisis!”

“We need to set up a planning team to carry out different plans. For such an apocalyptic crisis, it’s impossible to rely on just one plan! Everyone, everything, we need to make this plan more convenient!”

..

The discussion of this meeting went on for three whole days!

During these three days, many academicians and experts had mostly lost their voices. They all had dark circles under their eyes as they gradually moved towards a perfect plan.

During this period, He Xingzhou had been participating as well. The opinions of these top elites of the country had greatly inspired He Xingzhou and further added to perfecting his plan.

As for school, the school directly gave him a long vacation.

The students at school were still curious about what He Xingzhou had been doing, but no one knew the truth. His roommates were also reminded by the school teachers to not talk nonsense or make wild guesses.

Three days later, another meeting was held.

Kong Qing, as the lead of the meeting, announced, “Everyone, after several days of discussion, we have already come up with several feasible plans”

“These include the establishment of a special army and military base, the reservation of resources, the construction and transformation of shelters, scientific research and development, biotech development, international exchanges, and an alternative steel great wall plan.”

“We have given these plans a codename, the [Project Black Tortoise]! The black tortoise represents one of our country’s godly beasts, a symbol for longevity and defense. Project Black Tortoise is enacted to protect the Chinese people and defend against the dangers of the Zerg race.

“Project Black Tortoise is a mission of the highest level in all of China. Members of Project Black Tortoise can use all of China’s resources including economic, military, technological, and even political and international forces!”

“Members of this project will also become the country’s highly protected individuals, possessing the highest level of security and executive authority, codenamed ‘Black Tortoise Executive’!”

“Right now, we need to choose a few black tortoise executives to lead and carry out Project Black Tortoise.”

“You can either recommend yourself or nominate a reliable candidate! As long as more than half of the people agree, you will be approved.”

“Let’s Start Now!”

After Kong Qing’s speech, everyone started thinking.

It could be said that the black tortoise executive would shoulder the responsibility of the country. His responsibility was unprecedented, and he would need to be smart enough and have leadership ability!

Any decision he made could affect the fate of the entire country!

Even if all the people present were the elites of the country and the pillars of the country, they did not dare to say that they were confident that they could take on such an important task!

“Let me start by recommending myself to be the Xuanwu executive officer!” Qin Peng said, “As a soldier, it is our duty to protect our country!”

“I agree!” Kong Qing raised his hand first.

“I agree too!” Cui Weimin also raised his hand.

“Boss Qin is indeed a suitable candidate to be the black tortoise executive!” The leaders, experts, and academicians all raised their hands to show their agreement and passed unanimously.

“Good, the first black tortoise executive officer has been decided, General Qin Peng!” Kong Qing announced, “Let’s continue. I also recommend myself to be the second black tortoise executive officer. I can coordinate and lead the scientific research.”

“Elder Kong is also expected to be the black tortoise executive officer!” Naturally, no one had any objections. He also passed by unanimous vote.

“It’s my turn.” Cui Weimin said. “I can coordinate the various departments to cooperate with our plan implementation, including the handling of some international affairs.”

Soon, he also passed the Black Tortoise executive officer’s vote by unanimous vote.

“There can’t be only three black tortoise executives!” Kong Qing said. “The three of us are responsible for the handover of responsibilities to the various departments. The specific tasks still have to be assigned to the key people. So please continue!”
