Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Executive and Whistleblower
```html
"I nominate myself!" Military scientist He Hongwei stood up and said, "To deal with the Zerg, advanced military weapons are indispensable. I am responsible for this area, so I nominate myself to become a Xuanwu Executive Officer."
"Vote!" Everyone began to vote, and He Hongwei passed with eighty percent of the vote.
"I nominate Academician Song Jinhong!" an academician said, "Academician Song Jinhong is proficient in biology and has great insight into gene research, which is essential for studying the Zerg genes!"
"Academician Song, what do you think?" Kong Qing asked.
"The country needs it, and I am duty-bound!" Song Jinhong replied solemnly.
"Good, let's start the voting!"
With eighty-three percent of the votes, Song Jinhong also became a member of the Xuanwu Executive Officers.
"The most the Xuanwu Executive Officers can have is three more members," Kong Qing said, "Too many people would be disadvantageous for command and execution of tasks!"
"I nominate myself!" Sociologist Lv Mei stood up and said, "When disasters strike, social unrest is inevitable. I can lead people in getting prepared and handle logistics!"
"Start voting!"
Lv Mei also received more than eighty percent of the vote.
Thus, six Xuanwu Executive Officers were elected!
He Xingzhou wanted to nominate himself, but he knew that he was inexperienced and his plans were too extravagant. It would probably be difficult to pass.
No one else recommended or nominated themselves because these six people could almost lead the key aspects of executing the Xuanwu Plan.
"All right, the election of Xuanwu Executive Officers is concluded! If there are changes to the plan or other reasons in the future, the Xuanwu Executive Officers will also be replaced," Kong Qing inquired, "Does anyone have any opinions?"
"I do! I want to take on the role of a whistleblower for the Zerg crisis and establish a whistleblower research institute, also participating in the Xuanwu Plan," He Xingzhou stood up.
"I was planning to assign you to Academician Song's team. He Xingzhou, do you mean you want to work independently?" Kong Qing asked.
Everyone's eyes turned to him, with some suspicion in their gaze. Although He Xingzhou was the whistleblower, he was too young. The other Xuanwu Executive Officers were all over forty years old, mature, stable, and experienced!
And He Xingzhou, even if he were a genius, was ultimately just a student. Could he take on such a significant task?
He Xingzhou understood everyone's thoughts and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know I am young and inexperienced, and you may doubt my abilities, which is normal."
"Here, I would like to explain my reasons to everyone!"
"First, I am one of the most knowledgeable people about Zerg genes and Zerg biology right now! So if I participate in the plan, we can better take preventive measures against the Zerg or develop countermeasures!"
"I can independently lead a team to research Zerg gene-related information, splitting up with Academician Song's team, leading to greater harvests!"
Song Jinhong nodded and said, "He Xingzhou's understanding of Zerg genes is indeed beyond ours. The Zerg gene evolution model he established is now an important reference tool for us!"
Everyone agreed on this point.
"Second, all the other Executive Officers already have set task plans, and as a backup plan, the Steel Great Wall Plan doesn't have a dedicated Executive Officer to execute it."
"This plan is also crucial, and I have a complete plan for it. If I lead a team, I can push this plan forward fastest."
"If the implementation of other Executive Officers' plans goes more smoothly, that would naturally be better. If the situation develops unfavorably, we also have an alternative option!"
"These are my two reasons for volunteering. I am confident to take on this responsibility. If I'm allowed to execute it, I will only need a small portion of the funds and resources. Please have faith in me! I am also willing to contribute to safeguarding the nation!"
He Xingzhou planned to first obtain some resources and gradually prove his ability, eventually becoming a new Xuanwu Executive Officer to truly execute his plan!
After He Xingzhou finished speaking, everyone began to ponder.
Kong Qing thought for a moment and said, "Your opinion has merit. In fact, regarding your desire to lead a team for research, we have discussed it these days."
"We had differing opinions, with some supporting and some opposing. So let's vote and see what everyone thinks."
This time, it wasn't as smoothly unanimous as before, and people were still wondering if a university student truly had the ability to take on this responsibility.
The first person to raise his hand was Song Jinhong. He spoke, "I agree with He Xingzhou leading his own team. As long as He Xingzhou can advance further in Zerg gene research, it would be a significant leap for us!"
"Therefore, providing him with some resources is feasible!"
As Song Jinhong raised his hand, some biology experts joined in. They considered more about He Xingzhou's research report on Zerg genes than his Steel Great Wall and planet fortress plans.
"I also agree!" said a senior academician from the engineering academy who stood up. "I've carefully studied his Steel Great Wall Plan these days, and I found that if the situation truly develops beyond our control, the Steel Great Wall may become a solid barrier protecting Huaxia!"
"Since he wants to try, let him try. The small-scale experiment won't consume too many resources, and we can also send experts to research together."
"Given the current special situation, we should not stick to conventions in employing talents."
"Since Elder Bai agrees!" A few more academicians cast their votes in favor.
"Although Comrade Little He is young, he has this courage and determination, and I fully support it!" Qin Peng also expressed support.
Gradually, more people expressed their support, and Kong Qing began counting the votes.
A few minutes later, he announced, "After tallying, fifty-one percent agree to allow Comrade He Xingzhou to establish the whistleblower research institute! Now I declare, the Zerg crisis response team will support Comrade He Xingzhou in forming his own team and joining the Xuanwu Plan."
"Its main tasks are to lead and execute Zerg gene research and the Steel Great Wall pilot plan!"
"Clap-clap-clap!" once it was confirmed, everyone had no more objections and applauded to celebrate.
"Thank you all for your support!" He Xingzhou quickly expressed his gratitude.
...
The Xuanwu Plan was established, and the Xuanwu Executive Officers were confirmed, with a total of six members. Kong Qing, Qin Peng, Cui Weimin, Song Jinhong, He Hongwei, and Lv Mei.
He Xingzhou got the result he wanted, believing that given some time, the Xuanwu Executive Officers would inevitably include his name!
Now that the plans were confirmed, it was time for each to begin their actions.
The Xuanwu Executive Officers had actually confirmed what they needed to do long ago, directly assembling personnel and mobilizing resources to carry out the plans.
"Comrade Whistleblower." Kong Qing said, "You need to come up with a plan and then submit it to Comrade Lv Mei for review."
"I am ready!" He Xingzhou hadn't been idly busy these days; he handed over a document.
"I need a comprehensive research station equipped with biological, physics, and chemistry laboratories; I need a team of corresponding researchers to assist in implementing the plan; I need startup funds; experimental sites; and I need access to mobilize national research units and some key resources!"
Lv Mei took his document and said, "Okay, I'll review and arrange it as soon as possible."
Compared to other Executive Officers, He Xingzhou's requirements in the document were almost negligible. The plans the other Executive Officers had to execute required, not to mention manpower, a minimum initial investment of billions! As the plans unfolded further, the consumption of resources would reach astronomical figures!
