Chapter 22: Chapter 22 Xuanwu Plan
"He Xingzhou's idea is quite ambitious!" Kong Qing first praised, and he said, "Although it sounds very difficult to execute, everyone might as well consider it."
"If the threat of the Zerg is really as massive as He Xingzhou described, I fear that our other measures will hardly suffice. The Steel Great Wall plan can be considered as an alternative! What does everyone think?"
His words were actually a tactful way of rejecting the plan in order not to dampen He Xingzhou's enthusiasm.
Ultimately, He Xingzhou's plan was challenging the impossibilities of humanity, and everyone still lacked confidence and assurance in it.
However, they did not outright veto it. Cui Weimin nodded and said, "I think it makes sense. Solving the Zerg Disaster requires more than one plan; we need multiple plans running concurrently."
"The Steel Great Wall and Planetary Fortress plans can serve as alternatives, and we can experiment with them first!"
Qin Peng also had no objections. He said, "In the face of such an unknown disaster, the more plans, the better! I share the same view as He Hongwei, I am very supportive of the Planetary Fortress plan!"
Others also expressed their views. They unanimously believed that the plan to establish military bases and refuge cities was feasible, while the Steel Great Wall plan could only be pilot tested on a small scale at the moment.
He Xingzhou took the opportunity to say, "I hope to obtain certain resources to conduct relevant technological research."
Kong Qing nodded and said, "It doesn't hurt to try. As for how to operate it specifically, we will discuss it further."
"Now, let's start expressing opinions on each plan to brainstorm." Kong Qing announced.
The crowd began to discuss, with numerous opinions on the table.
"I believe we should inform the international community about this issue and unite the world's forces to resist the Zerg Disaster!" someone stated.
"I disagree!" an international relations expert stood up and said, "The world's countries are not as united as we imagine, especially when faced with such an apocalypse and disaster."
"They will not only fail to unite, but even restrict and attack each other! They might even claim we are spreading rumors and completely ignore our warnings."
"That's right!" Cui Weimin spoke up, "A previous global disaster has already shown us how great the differences between the world's countries can be!"
"When disaster comes, they scramble for strategic materials, survival resources, medical supplies, sanction each other, and create friction! They repeatedly target us!"
"Currently, the Zerg Disaster is just our assumption. They will not believe it!"
"Our primary task is to protect the people of Huaxia, so at this stage, it's not suitable to disclose this. But we can urge countries to pay attention to environmental protection and the study of mutant creatures."
"If they truly focus on these issues, they will inevitably discover the situation with Zerg genes and take action!"
"The real disclosure should only happen when we can truly confirm that the Zerg Disaster will occur."
"If we announce it rashly, some places might even become desperate and wage war!"
"Director Cui is right." Several key leaders agreed, "It's not the time to disclose this matter! Announcing it now will only make our preparation work more difficult!"
"Alright, we will settle on a protocol. The Zerg Crisis will become an SSS-level highest confidentiality task. No one is allowed to disclose it externally without permission!"
"Once we can confirm this matter will inevitably happen, we will make it public!" Kong Qing said, and the secretary beside him wrote it into the protocol.
"Moreover, we need to leverage our foreign exchange reserves to purchase a large number of materials from abroad, especially various raw materials needed for basic construction!" The experts advised again, "A special organization needs to be established to handle this to avoid unnecessary economic issues!"
"Concentrate on scientific research; without innovation in science and technology, we cannot talk about facing the crisis!"
"Establish a planning team to execute different plans, as relying on just one plan for such a doomsday crisis will not work! Everyone and everything must pave the way for this plan!"
...
This meeting's discussion continued for three whole days!
In those three days, many academicians and experts had hoarse voices and dark circles under their eyes as they gradually perfected the plans.
During this time, He Xingzhou continuously participated. The opinions of these top national elites greatly inspired He Xingzhou, allowing him to further refine his plan.
As for the school, they directly granted him an extended leave.
Although students were curious about what exactly He Xingzhou was doing, none of them knew the truth. His roommates were also reminded by school teachers not to speak carelessly or make wild guesses.
Three days later, the meeting reconvened.
Kong Qing, serving as the meeting's supporter, announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, after several days of discussion, we have arrived at several feasible plans."
"These include establishing a dedicated army and military bases, stockpiling materials, constructing and modifying shelters, technological research and breakthroughs in biotechnology, international exchanges, and an alternative Steel Great Wall plan."
"We will give these plans a code name, the 'Xuanwu Plan'! Xuanwu is the name of a mythical beast in our country, symbolizing longevity and solid defense. The Xuanwu Plan is intended to protect the people of Huaxia and resist the threat of the Zerg!"
"The Xuanwu Plan will become one of Huaxia's highest plans. Executors of the Xuanwu Plan can utilize all of Huaxia's resources: economic, military, technological, and even political and international powers!"
"Executors of the Xuanwu Plan will also become the country's top-secret figures, possessing the highest level of security protection and execution authority, code-named 'Xuanwu Executive Officer'!"
"Now, we need to select a few Xuanwu Executive Officers to lead and implement the Xuanwu Plan!"
"People can volunteer themselves or nominate reliable candidates! As long as more than half of the people approve, it will be passed!"
"Let's start now!"
After Kong Qing finished speaking, the whole room began to ponder.
It could be said that the Xuanwu Executive Officers would bear the nation's heavy responsibility, with an unprecedented level of responsibility requiring sufficient intelligence and leadership abilities!
Any decision they made could affect the entire country's destiny!
Even those present, all of whom were national elites and pillars, dared not easily claim the confidence to take on such a heavy responsibility!
"I'll start. I volunteer to become a Xuanwu Executive Officer!" Qin Peng said, "As a soldier, defending the country is our duty!"
"I agree!" Kong Qing was the first to raise his hand.
"I agree too!" Cui Weimin also raised his hand.
"General Qin serving as a Xuanwu Executive Officer is indeed a suitable choice!" Leaders, experts, and academicians all raised their hands in agreement, passing it unanimously.
"Alright, the first Xuanwu Executive Officer has emerged, General Qin Peng!" Kong Qing announced, "Let's continue. I also volunteer to become the second Xuanwu Executive Officer. I can coordinate and lead scientific research work."
"Mr. Kong serving as a Xuanwu Executive Officer is also what everyone expected!" Naturally, no one had objections, and he also passed unanimously.
"It's my turn." Cui Weimin said, "I can coordinate cooperation across departments to execute our plans, including handling some international affairs."
He was also quickly unanimously voted as a Xuanwu Executive Officer.
"We cannot have only the three of us as Xuanwu Executive Officers!" Kong Qing said, "We three will handle the connections with various departments, but the specific tasks must be implemented by key individuals. So everyone, please continue!"
