Chapter 176 Earth Evolution Project!
"Quiet down!"
Su Chen's voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
The noisy conference room fell silent instantly.
All eyes were on him.
Su Chen looked around and slowly spoke:
"I know what everyone is worried about. They're worried they're wolves, worried we're letting them in."
"But have you ever considered that we are now in a dark forest, full of beasts more ferocious than jackals?"
He pointed to the deep red area on the holographic projection that represented the "Abyss Reaper".
"That beast will pounce on us in a year."
"We don't even have decent weapons right now, and we're still debating whether to accept help from a jackal?"
"Isn't this a little ridiculous?"
These words silenced the previously agitated senior officials.
Su Chen continued, "Humanity must learn to coexist with the universe."
"Staying stagnant and blindly xenophobic will only hasten our demise in this dark forest."
He looked at the tyrant and said, word by word:
"I accept your conditions on behalf of the Earth. However, I also have my conditions."
The tyrant grinned: "Tell me about it."
"First, your people must abide by all the laws established by the Earth United Government."
"Secondly, all the technologies you possess must be completely open to us, without any reservations."
"Third, and most importantly, you must swear an oath never to betray the Earth."
The tyrant stopped smiling, looked into Su Chen's eyes, and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he nodded solemnly: "I, the tyrant, swear by the glory of my ancestors!"
"As long as the Earth does not betray us first, the Wotans will always be your most reliable allies."
An agreement has been reached.
Su Chen then announced the initial concept of the "Earth Evolution Project," which he had conceived overnight.
The entire plan was divided into three phases.
In the first phase, within three months, we will complete the reconstruction of major cities on the surface!
At the same time, with the tyrant's help, the most basic interstellar technology facilities were established, including a small dock and an orbital defense platform.
The second phase, lasting three to six months, will involve the initial mining of the law vein!
Activate the core engine of planetary evolution as quickly as possible.
This step is the riskiest and the most crucial.
The third phase, lasting six to twelve months, focuses on fully advancing the planet's evolution.
Transform the entire Earth into a 'world fortress' that cannot be easily breached!
Listening to Su Chen's grand plan, everyone in the conference room felt a surge of excitement.
As the shadow of the apocalypse fades, a brand new era of interstellar exploration, full of challenges and opportunities, is slowly unfolding before them.
It was late at night when the meeting ended.
Su Chen stood alone on the observation deck of the command post.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows lies the blue planet, which he has already repaired most of.
The moonlight spilled onto the sea, creating a shimmering, tranquil scene.
Who could have imagined that beneath this tranquility, a storm that would determine the life or death of civilization was brewing?
In his bullet screen space, there are more and more bullet comments about Earth.
More and more reborn individuals are appearing, both on Earth and in the distant depths of the universe.
Everyone has started paying attention to this "newborn planet" that has just passed the "civilization test".
Some coveted it, some were curious, and some gloated.
Amidst the dense barrage of comments, Su Chen suddenly noticed an extremely faint comment that was almost instantly swallowed up.
"...Help me...They've locked me up in District Seven...I know the 'Prophet's' weakness..."
This comment flashed by in an instant, like a drowning person's last cry for help.
Su Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.
He had used all his strength to memorize every single word of that short sentence.
District 7?
What are the weaknesses of the "Prophet"?
A reborn individual lurking within the Abyss Reapers?
Is this an elaborate trap, or... a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
A sharp glint flashed in Su Chen's eyes.
A new day begins, and the surface reconstruction work officially commences.
Su Chen, wielding the authority of "Lord of the World," began this massive project.
He stood on the ruins of the former East China Sea defense line, his hands pressed to the ground, and his eyes closed.
A vast power of the world surged from his body.
Like tree roots, they penetrate deep into the earth, guiding the dormant energy of the laws to spread to the surface.
Under his guidance, the grotesquely cracked earth began to slowly heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On those scorched plains burned by lava, tiny green shoots stubbornly broke through the soil.
But the process was far more difficult than he had imagined.
Previously, in order to perish together with the Seraph, he detonated the energy at the core of the world.
This has caused indelible damage to the laws of the world itself.
It's like a person who has been seriously injured. Although they survive, their vital energy is greatly depleted, and their recovery is naturally extremely slow.
Su Chen could clearly feel that every time he repaired a region, a large portion of his world power would be consumed.
Moreover, the recovery speed is as slow as a snail's pace.
"No, at this rate, it will take more than six months just to restore the surface vegetation. That's too slow."
Su Cheng opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.
He realized that he couldn't act like an omnipotent "god" and take on everything.
He must rely on human power itself to accelerate this process.
He immediately obtained some of the basic technology blueprints from the tyrant.
In particular, the two key technologies, "energy harvester" and "matter recombination device", were handed over to the newly established alliance research department.
These two technologies, in the tyrant's eyes, were merely the most basic level of stuff in the universe.
But for Earth's technology, which has just emerged from the apocalypse, this is nothing short of a leap forward.
The energy harvester can extract almost unlimited energy directly from the vacuum of the dark energy sea.
It has completely solved the most fundamental energy problem for mankind.
The material recombination device can disassemble and rearrange any raw material at the atomic level.
In theory, given enough energy and atoms, it is possible to create any known substance.
The alliance urgently drew upon all of the world's top scientists and engineers.
A brand new laboratory was established, codenamed "Spark".
Lin Xue was appointed by Su Chen as the head of the "Spark Lab".
However, when these most brilliant minds on Earth first encountered these alien technologies that were beyond their comprehension...
What they felt was not excitement, but a deep sense of frustration.
"Director-General, we...we can't understand this blueprint for the 'Matter Recombiner' at all."
An elderly professor with white hair, holding a data board, spoke to Lin Xue with a bitter expression.
"Yes, more than 70 percent of the basic theories here are in areas that our human scientific system has never touched before."
Another physicist added, "This...this is like asking an elementary school student who only knows addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to read a doctoral dissertation. We can't even understand the questions, let alone solve them."
Looking at the worried faces in the laboratory, Lin Xue felt extremely anxious.
