"Chairman."
Lu Yongchang greeted Councillor Li respectfully.
"Yongchang, you are finally here."
The moment he saw Lu Yongchang, Councillor Li breathed a sigh of relief.
"You should know the result of yesterday's meeting, right?"
Hearing Councillor Li's question, Lu Yongchang nodded slightly.
Passed unanimously.
To be honest, he was not at all surprised by this result.
Faced with such rigorous deduction steps and accurate predictions, Lu Yongchang didn't believe that anyone would doubt what he said.
"We... Xia Country, what should we do next?"
The chairman of the parliament was silent for a moment, then slowly asked.
Lu Yongchang's eyes flashed, and he responded word by word: "Chairman, in my opinion, the universe is the only real way out!"
"Only by leaving the solar system can we truly save Xia Country!"
The Speaker fell silent.
Leaving the solar system?
Can human technology really achieve this?
The council chairman's voice was a little hoarse: "Is it not possible to migrate to Mars?"
The proposal to migrate to Mars was actually proposed by Academician Yang Jianchuan himself after the meeting ended last night.
Lu Yongchang shook his head slowly and rejected the chairman's proposal.
"I'm afraid not."
"The moment the sun's helium flash occurs, even Mars will be unsafe."
"Perhaps the only safe area is outside the solar system."
The council chairman closed his eyes in pain.
After a long while, he spoke again, his voice becoming hoarse: "According to your plan, how many people in Xia Country can survive?"
Hearing the question from the chairman of the parliament, Lu Yongchang was stunned.
How many people survived?
This is indeed a problem...
Lu Yongchang fell into deep thought.
According to the current population growth rate of Xia Country...
Um...
Seeing that Lu Yongchang had fallen silent, the chairman of the parliament showed a bitter smile on his face: "Can there be 10,000 people?"
Lu Yongchang: "???"
"Sure enough, there aren't even 10,000 people..."
Seeing Lu Yongchang's strange look, the chairman's eyes became more painful.
There are 1.5 billion Xia people, but they can't even protect 10,000 people!
"Ahem... Mr. Councillor, you may have misunderstood."
Lu Yongchang said with a strange look on his face: "According to my plan, after excluding some elderly people and patients who are not suitable for interstellar travel, and taking into account the natural growth rate in the next fifteen years... Xia Country should have about 1 billion people who can escape successfully."
"…"
The office fell into silence.
"Yongchang... do you know what you are saying?" The chairman looked at Lu Yongchang in front of him with a strange expression.
"One billion people on interstellar travel?"
"Are you telling me a science fiction story?"
Lu Yongchang looked at the chairman of the council and said seriously, "Chairman, you should know that I have done everything I said in the research and development of controlled nuclear fusion."
The chairman's expression was somewhat moved, and then he nodded slightly, acknowledging Lu Yongchang's words.
"Chairman, perhaps the plan I mentioned is a little crazy, but for the future of the people of Xia Country, I hope you can completely trust me!"
The chairman of the parliament stared at Lu Yongchang's eyes with a deep gaze.
a long time.
He took a deep breath.
"good!"
"I trust you!"
…
"According to our station, starting today, Xia will establish the Space Agency, and the first director will be Lü Yongchang, the father of controlled nuclear fusion."
"NASA's primary mission is ..."
In the evening, a breaking news came out from Xiaguo News Channel!
In just half an hour, the four words "NASA" topped the Weibo hot search list!
"What the hell?! NASA?? Is Xia Country going to enter space?"
"I think it's a good opportunity to go into space now. After all, the United States is suffering from the devastation of the solar storm and can't even take care of it now!"
"Hahaha that makes sense!"
"No, am I the only one who noticed that the first director was Lu Yongchang? If I remember correctly, he should be only twenty years old?"
"...If you count my age, I should be twenty-one now."
"Hiss! It's so terrifying!"
"He's 21 years old, the director of NASA, and I'm 21 years old, a college dropout at home."
"So, can any big shot tell me what power this space agency has? It can't be just a verbal check, right?"
"Don't say that... If what the Xiaguo news said is true, the power of this space agency can be described in eight words: second only to one person, and above ten thousand people!"
"WTF?!!"
…
The next day, at noon.
The Xia Kingdom's Great Hall was packed.
Everyone here is the top scientist in Xia Country.
Physics, chemistry, materials science, biology...
It can be said that at this moment, the Xia Kingdom's Great Hall gathered together the most advanced wisdom of the Xia Kingdom!
Lu Yongchang, wearing a well-fitting high-end suit, straightened his expression, and slowly walked onto the stage.
"Everyone, I am the first director of NASA, Lu Yongchang."
"Next, I will explain to you the plans of NASA for the next three years."
As he spoke, Lu Yongchang lightly clicked the mouse.
A PPT is presented to everyone through a projector and a projection screen.
Moon Palace Project
In just a moment, whispers appeared in the Xia Kingdom's Great Hall.
Lu Yongchang ignored the discussion in the audience, cleared his throat and explained: "The Moon Palace Project is called the Lunar Surface Automatic Mining Project."
"This project is expected to be officially put into production at the end of this year, and will be mainly responsible for obtaining the abundant helium-3 resources on the moon."
"In addition, we can also obtain a large amount of ilmenite and various rare earth minerals from the moon."
Before everyone could react, Lu Yongchang clicked the mouse again.
PPT screen switches.
"Nantianmen Project"
"Nantianmen Project, this project is expected to be officially completed by the end of next year."
"The main contents of the project include the Xuannv series of aerospace fighters and the Luanniao series of aerospace carrier platforms."
"The main purpose of the project is to deal with threats from aliens and silicon-based life forms. At the same time, this is also the first step for Xiaguo to move towards cosmic civilization."
boom!
As Lu Yongchang finished speaking, the Xia Kingdom's Great Hall fell into complete chaos!
The flashlights of the cameras in the hands of the reporters in the back row were flashing wildly!
Each of the academic bigwigs turned around and discussed the scene in front of them with their companions.
"This... this is simply nonsense!"
"How could Councillor Li entrust such an important task to such a little kid?"
A white-haired academician stood up angrily, muttering: "What's the point of attending a meeting full of nonsense like this!"
"Mr. Qiu, be patient." Yang Jianchuan stood up with a wry smile and gently patted the old man's thin back. "Mr. Qiu, I know these projects seem unreliable."
"Now that there are so many people around, Professor Lu won't make an announcement yet. Wait until these reporters leave. Mr. Qiu, believe me, the truth will eventually come out!"
"Xia Country... has reached a dead end!"
Yang Jianchuan's low voice fell into the ears of Mr. Qiu.
Old Qiu's body trembled slightly, he glanced at Yang Jianchuan beside him with a complicated expression, and slowly sat back in his chair.
"In that case, I'll take a closer look at what Lu Yongchang is up to!"
"And Xia Country... everything was going great, why did it end up in such a desperate situation?!"
Such scenes occurred in every corner of the Xia Kingdom's Great Hall.
In order to prevent information leakage from causing social unrest, the news that the sun has entered its aging period was basically unknown to outsiders except for the scientists who attended the meeting!
"Quiet!" Lu Yongchang tapped the table lightly and opened the next PPT.
"Heavenly Plan"!
