Chapter 168: Crisis Alert
Given Great Xia’s current status, plus Mark and Fan Ren’s ‘personal friendship’, inviting over a hundred chiefs from various nations is naturally not a difficult matter.
Dealing with extraterrestrial civilization is not something Great Xia can handle alone.
Of course, with Great Xia’s current capabilities in space resource development, to speak arrogantly, just in terms of manufacturing capability alone, Great Xia qualifies to independently complete the construction tasks of any space project.
The main purpose of the meeting is still to remind all the chiefs of various nations.
Even if it doesn’t provide much help, at least don’t hold things back during this long period of time.
Otherwise, Great Xia will not be polite.
Of course, saying these things verbally is useless, so these people still need to be called over to properly listen to the Great Xia 100-year development plan, which was collectively discussed and deliberated by Fan Ren as well as hundreds or thousands of scientists and sociologists.
Is 200 years long?
Fan Ren does not think so.
Several hibernation pods on the Conqueror have already been dismantled and sent to the Xinghai Biotechnology Laboratory for reverse engineering research.
Among the advanced technologies on the Conqueror, this technology that can provide ‘eternal life’ to humanity from another angle is relatively easier to make breakthroughs in.
Its technical difficulties mainly lie in how to restore cell viability upon thawing, as well as the preservation of brainwave information.
And these two points are currently being researched at the Star Sea Brainwave Laboratory. Because of A’dai’s existence, it itself is a very good example.
Once the research succeeds, is 200 years still long?
The answer is no.
In the near future, 200 years may just be the time it takes to sleep one night.
So Fan Ren’s view is that it must be taken seriously.
Fan Ren is fortunate, as the Great Xia chiefs headed by Ye Rongshan are all supporting his progress without reservation from behind.
Walking onto the conference stage, Fan Ren unhesitatingly sat on Ye Rongshan’s left side, while Liu Shengzhan sat on his right side.
Today, this moment that the world is watching.
He is the protagonist!
The meeting room door slowly closed, the interior lights bright, Fan Ren’s gaze swept over the chiefs of various nations with different skin colors below the stage. At this moment, all of them looked very uncomfortable on their faces.
In contrast, the United States President Mark sitting in the front row was very natural.
Exchanging a glance, the two inexplicably each showed a slight smile, then shifted their gazes away.
Relying on the ‘success’ of the Mars Project, Spitz Company has now thoroughly become the United States’ well-deserved number one super enterprise.
Mark has now proposed expanding the immigration scale, vigorously developing Mars, and allowing private mining companies to be established on Mars, vowing to develop Mars into a massive base metal processing base.
However, the tickets to Mars released by Spitz are a bit expensive.
2 million per ticket. If you can’t afford it, you can also sell yourself to work for 3 years to pay it off.
This huge interest makes the ownership of Utopia City no longer an issue to be discussed.
After all, maintaining the materials needed for Utopia City’s development is in itself a very difficult matter.
Currently, on the entire Blue Star, only Great Xia can do it.
They even went so far as to build a space elevator on Mars as well.
Thinking of this, Mark couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
What are they from the United States doing?
Relying on his and Fan Ren’s relationship, they successfully built a new space station in space.
Just this, and all the United States people are cheering in celebration, great again.
‘Frog in the well’.
Mark smiled mockingly to himself, and this Great Xia idiom involuntarily came to mind.
On the stage, Ye Rongshan gently tapped the microphone, and with his action, the meeting room that had been buzzing lowly instantly quieted down.
The Great Xia Chief still holds a very high status in front of these people.
“Hello everyone, I am Ye Rongshan. First of all, welcome to all of you for taking time out of your busy schedules to travel thousands of miles to Great Xia Capital to attend this global development meeting.
As the conference host, I first express my sincere respect and gratitude to all of you.”
Ye Rongshan did not pretentiously stand up and bow; that was not a behavior fitting his identity.
Even so, as his aged but vigorous voice fell, applause rang out in waves throughout the venue.
Fan Ren sat beside him, looking at this scene below the stage. In this instant, a sense of pride welled up in his heart.
“Alright, thank you all again. But today I am just the meeting host. The specific meeting content will be reported by the Chairman of Xinghai Technology beside me, Fan Ren, to everyone present.”
As his words fell, Ye Rongshan took the lead in clapping, and the people in the venue, as if giving face to this elderly person, once again erupted in thunderous applause.
Fan Ren did not just nod while sitting like Ye Rongshan. Although his current status is also not low, he is now facing over a hundred of the most powerful people on Blue Star.
He stood up, slightly bowed in salute, and then did not sit down. Looking at the crowd below, he spoke in a resounding and forceful voice.
“Hello everyone, I am Fan Ren, current Chairman of Xinghai Technology.”
After his simple self-introduction, he spoke again: “The main content of this meeting, first of all, I need to announce a not-so-good piece of news to you all. Our Blue Star is very likely to face a threat from extraterrestrial civilization in 200 years.”
After he finished this opening remark, the meeting room was deathly silent.
In everyone’s earphones, A’dai was responsible for real-time translation. At this moment, everyone, including Mark, stared at him dumbfounded, as if frightened by this sudden news.
But they soon reacted and involuntarily began turning their heads to talk with their respective deputies.
200 years?
What a joke. Most countries are not doing that well now; who would consider things 200 years from now.
Fan Ren took in these people’s expressions and sighed inwardly.
As expected, pretty much as he imagined.
But no matter, give them the sweet dates first. If that doesn’t work, add the big stick.
It will always make people obedient.
“Please be quiet.”
Ye Rongshan’s voice was not loud, but it was very effective, and the venue immediately quieted down.
However, unlike the earlier scene where everyone was listening attentively, the chiefs of various nations now all had an air of not taking it seriously.
Fan Ren shook his head slightly and sat down.
“Precisely because of this, we have deployed phase detection satellites at the edge of the Solar System for the 7 major star systems within our 10 light year range.
Soon, our new generation of communication satellites, quantum communication satellites with an effective communication range of 500,000 kilometers, will prioritize connecting these detection telescopes via relay satellites, using AI to conduct round-the-clock, full-time phase detection on these 7 star systems.
In the predictions of myself and Great Xia scientists, the possibility of this crisis is as high as 95%.
On Mars, we discovered traces of pre-human civilization existence, and unfortunately triggered the relic signal generator.
This signal emitter has a high likelihood of being captured by the 7 star systems within 10 light years.
We have no doubt that if civilizations exist in these star systems, they will without hesitation detect us with unknown means, and possibly engage in war plunder behavior.”
