Both of them doubted whether they had heard wrongly or whether Xu Zhou had said something wrong.
Not to mention 800 billion, there are 80,000 people, which is beyond the normal understanding of the two of them.
This is not an airplane. I just arrange a seat for you and sit on it.
Space navigation can take many years. Human beings need to live on it, eat, sleep, move and work.
Even if psychological issues are taken into consideration, there must be a certain amount of room for movement.
If all these requirements were met, how much space would 10,000 people need? How big does it take to have 100,000 people? 800 million? One billion?
The two of them couldn't imagine what kind of plan Xu Zhou was carrying out.
"Xiao Xu, you mean the target of one billion? The minimum target is 800 million people?"
Liu Zhongmin also swallowed and finally said:
"We are not making a movie. Although I shouldn't doubt you easily...but this number is too outrageous, isn't it?"
When Xu Zhou saw the expressions of the two people, he understood what they were thinking. He smiled and said with a confident expression:
"Chief, Dean, since I joined the Longguo Academy of Sciences, have I, Xu Zhou, ever made any false statements?"
"So far, everything I have promised or agreed to has been basically fulfilled perfectly!"
"Because I understand that every promise I make is to add a little bit of national destiny to the Dragon Kingdom."
"And now we bear the lives of hundreds of millions of people in the Dragon Kingdom on our shoulders. How could I make a joke about this!"
Xu Zhou's words were loud and clear, without any trace of panic.
This relieved the worries of the chief and Liu Zhongmin a little.
Liu Zhongmin is indeed deeply touched by this point.
First of all, Xu Zhou's character goes without saying. Ever since he joined scientific research, he has never made a fortune for himself based on these achievements.
And starting from the photolithography machine, Liu Zhongmin has indeed never seen him fail!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhongmin gritted his teeth, nodded and said to the chief:
"Xiao Xu is right. He has done everything he promised us so far, including photolithography machines, space-based weapons, controllable nuclear fusion, etc. I believe he can complete his mission this time!"
When the chief saw what Liu Zhongmin said, and then looked at Xu Zhou's extremely confident expression, the anxiety in his heart for many days suddenly eased a lot.
Finally he smiled and said:
"Okay! The future, wealth and lives of the hundreds of millions of people in the Dragon Kingdom are in the hands of these two!"
Xu Zhou and Liu Zhongmin looked at each other and finally saluted together.
"Received! Don't worry, chief!"
Finally, Xu Zhou looked at the leader and smiled:
"Chief, since I have accepted this task, I will shamelessly ask you for something, which will be of great help to my future work!"
The chief was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately:
"You said, as long as it can help, the entire Dragon Kingdom will fully support it!"
"That's not necessary. I only need an identity!"
The leader instantly understood what Xu Zhou meant. After thinking for a while, he finally smiled and said:
"Indeed...your age is a big problem. It's hard to guarantee that someone will do it in disguise."
"In this way, from now on, Longguo has established a long-distance space program and established a long-distance space program committee. The members include all the scientific research-related personnel of Longguo. And you, Xu Zhou, are the first chairman of the long-distance space plan committee! All personnel It’s all at your disposal!”
Xu Zhou's expression changed slightly, and then he immediately smiled and said:
"Roger it! Chief!"
…
On this day, across Tianlong Kingdom, from large national media portals to small local media newspapers, as long as they were channels for disseminating information, a piece of news occupied the front page.
[According to reliable sources, the Supreme National Assembly of the Dragon Kingdom finally decided to establish the Dragon Kingdom Voyage Space Plan Committee after meeting and consultation. The committee members include all currently employed scientific researchers, and Xu Zhou, dean of the Dragon Kingdom Ark Academy of Sciences, will serve as the first Be the chairman of the committee! 】
As soon as this news came out, the citizens of the Dragon Kingdom exploded immediately after hearing it.
Dragon Kingdom space voyage plan!
committee, chairman.
This series of news shocked everyone like thunder on the ground.
Countless people are speculating why such a good country would engage in such a thing. It sounds a bit illusory!
Space voyage... Although the Dragon Kingdom has now publicly mastered controllable nuclear fusion technology.
But this is far from the level of science fiction between space voyages.
It's like you are a baby who has just developed to the age where you can control your urine, but you are planning to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University. If nothing else, the gap is not the slightest.
Are you too impatient?
The thought came to everyone's mind.
"The space voyage plan... this thing sounds illusory. Is our country's technology so advanced now?"
"Everyone, why do I feel that the direction of the world is a bit deviating from my understanding? I am still working nine to five to survive for some living expenses, and suddenly I heard that our country is preparing to enter the universe?"
"It is suggested that after entering the universe, the first thing to do is to develop real estate! Hahaha, we have to cut the aliens' leeks."
"Didn't anyone notice that the chairman of the committee is Xu Zhou? This big shot actually became the chairman of the committee."
"Do you have any substantive rights? Isn't it just a false position...similar to...the president of the association?"
"Not to mention, this position is not ordinary. The members of the committee are all scientific researchers in the system, and Xu Zhou, as the chairman of the committee, has the right to direct deployment."
"Yes, scientific research is the lifeblood of national development. How can we control the deployment of this group of people with less power?"
"I understand..."
A group of netizens posted on the Internet and kept discussing, but most of them maintained a not very optimistic attitude.
Quite simply, because this goal is a bit too unrealistic.
Space voyage... to where? What is the purpose of the voyage? Where is the destination? Not even a voyage was reported.
It feels like a pie was drawn and then disappeared.
And it’s not just the general public who think this way, in fact, even some people in the scientific research circle express doubts.
Naturally, they would not doubt the intentions of the Dragon Kingdom's Supreme Council decision, but there were too many doubts about the plan itself.
Everyone is still confused until now.
Some well-connected people even approached many big shots in the circle to find out what big move they were making.
But after asking around a lot, I finally found that everyone was confused!
Even the academicians of the Dragon Academy of Sciences and the staff of the Ark Academy of Sciences don't know.
So this matter continued to ferment in the circle, and everyone was waiting for an explanation.
At the same time, in the Longke Academy, Xu Zhou and Liu Zhongmin were studying the drawings in front of them.
The more Liu Zhongmin looked at it, the more he kept making sounds of surprise.
"Xiao Xu, your idea is too bold!"
"Dean, we have no other way now but this. Believe me, this is the fastest and most direct way!"
"In fifteen years, I have calculated that if we use starships for transportation, even if each ship carries 100,000 people, we will need at least 10,000 starships. Ten thousand ships...we don't have enough time!"
"What if I were a little bigger?"
Xu Zhou still shook his head.
"One million people per ship? That would be too dense, and even that would require a thousand starships, not counting others."
"We not only need to carry starships, but also need at least 500 combat ships and 500 large resource ships. How many resources and how much time will it take to complete everything on this scale?"
Liu Zhongmin was silent. He understood that what Xu Zhou said was true. It was the first time he thought about it, and it was indeed not rigorous enough.
"We have to figure out how to solve the resource problem ourselves, exchange or buy and sell, but we cannot accept cooperation from any country! If we accept it, it will be impossible not to bring others with us. This will only drag us down!"
"My plan can not only solve the problem of production resources in large quantities, but also solve the problem of our capacity to carry people. I decided to take this path!"
Liu Zhongmin thought for a while, then nodded and said:
"What you said makes sense. I still haven't changed my mind... But we took away the Moon Palace... What will happen to the humans on earth? The solar helium flash has not yet arrived at that time. If we lose the Moon Palace..."
"Dean, we don't care about others now. The most important thing is that the Dragon Kingdom can survive. As for other humans on the earth, we have no obligation to help them, and I also said in my plan that I will leave a large number of The ocean current controller can stabilize the earth's oceans in a short period of time, and the problem will not be too big."
"I see."
Liu Zhongmin nodded!
At this moment, after several days of discussion, the two of them had officially determined the direction of their plan.
Then an assistant knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
"Chairman, President Liu, as required by the meeting, all the people on the list are in place!"
Xu Zhou nodded, then took a deep breath and said:
"Okay, wait for me for ten minutes, I'll be there right away!"
After speaking, he said to Liu Zhongmin:
"Dean, let's go. There has been a lot of discussion in the scientific research circle these days. It's time to announce the plan."
Liu Zhongmin nodded, then looked at the plan aside.
The line of large characters above is particularly eye-catching.
