Chapter 21: The Crazy Proposal!

```html

He Xingzhou said, "My plan is mainly divided into three steps!"

"I think the gene bank of the Zerg we know is just a drop in the ocean. Zerg is just a collective term for an alien biospecies, and they have different roles and abilities."

"Before we understand them enough, whether it is biological weapons, cold weapons, or hot weapons, their effects will be very limited. In addition, since the Zerg's range of activity is the entire ocean, we can't suppress them!"

"The Zerg occupying the ocean is an inevitable outcome. To protect our country's and people's safety, the first step we need to take is to build a Steel Wall along the 18,000 kilometers of Huaxia's coastline!"

"This Steel Wall would stand nearly a hundred meters high, with a super high-speed rail transport line inside, and military fortresses set up at intervals! The entire line of the Steel Wall should be equipped with missile launchers, turrets, laser weapons, and ideally, a mecha legion and other high-tech defense measures. Only then can we keep the Zerg out of the ocean!"

"Additionally, on Huaxia's land, we should build a super military fortress, a military base capable of housing over a hundred million people!"

"It would be powered by fusion energy, equipped with an AI city management system, automated eco-farms, robotic factories, arms factories, barracks, schools, living areas, business districts, and so forth."

"I believe that there is also a danger for land organisms to mutate into the Zerg. With this super military fortress, we can guard the rear and defend against the Zerg's invasion on land! I call it the Planetary Fortress!"

*When He Xingzhou finished explaining his first-step plan, all the experts and academicians looked like they were listening to a heavenly book.*

"An 18,000-kilometer Steel Wall around the entire coastline?" an expert said, "Do you know how much money and how many people that would take?"

"Countless!" He Xingzhou said, "That's why I said it could only be accomplished with the national effort! And regardless of the cost, regardless of the price. To reduce costs, the core of the steel cost can be filled with high-strength concrete, but the exterior must be clad in steel armor. The destructive power of the Zerg will exceed your imagination!"

"It's too crazy; it can't be realized!" another expert said, "To enclose the entire coastline of the nation, not to mention whether it can be completed."

"This plan, if implemented, would affect the nation's economy, ecology, and multiple other factors!"

He Xingzhou retorted, "Once the Zerg disaster arrives, there will be no economy or ecology to speak of! Survival will be the primary goal!"

"This plan is simply wishful thinking!" a military scientist stood up, saying, "He Xingzhou, your idea is daring indeed, but the biggest problem is, we currently don't even have that kind of technology!"

"Building the Steel Wall requires an immense amount of manpower, financial resources, and materials, to say the least. Just the Planetary Fortress powered by fusion technology, equipped with mecha, automated robotic factories, these are technologies that don't exist yet!"

"No one can guarantee that technology will progress to that level in a few decades!"

"Yes. The Steel Wall project you mentioned has an unprecedented workload and involves various new technologies. The technical difficulty is akin to fighting a world war!" Military scientist He Hongwei commented, "However, I support your idea of building a Planetary Fortress! We indeed need a backup plan!"

"This plan would almost consume all the nation's reserved resources!" sociologist Lv Mei said, "I find it too exaggerated."

*Not only them, Kong Qing, Cui Weimin, Qin Peng, and others also felt that He Xingzhou's plan was too difficult to execute. An 18,000-kilometer-long Steel Wall? Could humanity really accomplish such a magnificent project?*

Even so, Kong Qing still said, "Everyone, quiet down first. Let's listen to He Xingzhou finish his plan before we discuss."

The crowd immediately quieted down, and He Xingzhou continued, "If the first step plan is realized, we could hold our continental territory for several years."

"During this time, continue researching and manufacturing weapons against the Zerg. Then begin the second step, counterattack the Zerg, and advance into the ocean!"

"For the second step, we should have at least a thousand nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of various warships and submarines! To counterattack the oceanic Zerg!"

"Given that humans are not as agile as the Zerg in the ocean, we can build a floating fortress at sea. You can think of it as a super aircraft carrier, a seafaring military base!"

"Meanwhile, we also need to construct underwater cities in the ocean to jointly attack and suppress the oceanic Zerg. By leveraging the ocean, we can also advance to other continents to completely eliminate or suppress the Zerg on Earth!"

*When He Xingzhou laid out this plan, everyone's mind had only one thought, impossible!*

*It sounded like a science fiction novel. Not to mention Huaxia, even the current most militarily powerful UK probably couldn't achieve it!*

"Third step, stride into space!" He Xingzhou said, "If the Zerg are alien biospecies, they could very well exist on other Solar System planets or have their own bases in space."

"We need to launch rockets, build sixth-generation space stations, spaceports, land on the Moon and Mars, and build extraterrestrial bases to extend the exploration and power scope to surrounding planets, ensuring Blue Star's safety!"

"This is my three-step plan, involving countless projects, tasks, and especially technological research. I believe that only by rallying the entire nation's effort can it be completed! I am finished speaking."

*When He Xingzhou finished, the experts present fell completely silent, with only one thought in mind, madman!*

*To come up with such a plan, one must either be a genius or a madman!*

*Could rallying the entire nation's effort accomplish it? Even with all of humanity's effort, it's still an unknown!*

*Moreover, the plan needs to be completed within mere decades. Is that possible?*

*Impossible! That was everyone's first thought.*

*He Xingzhou saw their expressions and knew that they found it hard to accept his plan. He was also prepared for this. It wasn't their fault.*

*Even though they were top experts in various fields in Huaxia, they were ultimately only 0.7-level civilization beings, unable to comprehend the technology and power of an advanced civilization!*

*He Xingzhou hadn't even mentioned his Dyson Sphere plan yet. If he did, probably someone would think he was simply fantasizing on the spot!*

*There was a whole minute of silence at the scene, with no one voicing any opinions because there was nothing to say. Except for He Xingzhou himself, no one thought his plan could be successfully implemented!*

He Xingzhou himself broke the silence in the conference room. He said, "If I am provided with resources, I can prove this plan can succeed! For instance, the Steel Wall or military base plan, if I could have a chance to try, let me lead the construction of a small section of the Steel Wall or some of the technology development, everyone would see the feasibility of my plan!"

*He Xingzhou knew this proposal would be difficult to agree upon, but he had to put it forward first, then he could proceed with his further plans. Lu Xun once said, "Huaxia people always like compromise and mediation. For example, if you say this house is too dark and you need to open a window, everyone will definitely not agree. But if you propose to remove the roof, they will come to mediate and be willing to open the window."*

*He first threw out his crazy idea, then put forward his trial scientific research plan, making it easier for the expert panel to accept.*
