Chapter 48 NASA

"President."

Lu Yongchang greeted Councilor Li respectfully.

"Yongchang, you are finally here."

The moment he saw Lu Yongchang, Councilor Li breathed a sigh of relief.

"You should know the result of yesterday's meeting, right?"

After hearing Councilor Li's question, Lu Yongchang nodded slightly.

Passed unanimously.

To be honest, he was not surprised at all by this result.

Faced with such rigorous deduction steps and accurate predictions, Lu Yongchang did not believe that anyone would doubt what he said.

"We...Xia Guo, what should we do next?"

After a moment of silence, the Council Chairman slowly asked.

Lu Yongchang's eyes flashed, and he responded word for word: "Senior Councilor, in my opinion, only the universe is the real way out!"

"Only by leaving the solar system can we truly protect Xia Kingdom!"

The Speaker fell silent.

Leaving the solar system?

Can human technology really achieve this?

The speaker's voice was hoarse: "Isn't it possible to immigrate to Mars?"

The proposal to immigrate to Mars was actually proposed by Academician Yang Jianchuan in person after the meeting last night.

Lu Yongchang slowly shook his head and vetoed the chairman's proposal.

"I'm afraid not."

"The moment the solar helium flash breaks out, even Mars is unsafe."

"The only safe place may be outside the solar system."

The Councilor closed his eyes in pain.

After a long time, he spoke again, his voice getting hoarse: "According to your plan, how many people in Xia Kingdom...can survive?"

Lu Yongchang couldn't help but froze when he heard the chairman's question.

How many people survived?

This is indeed a problem...

Lu Yongchang fell into deep thought.

According to the current population growth rate of Xia Kingdom...

Um……

Seeing Lu Yongchang fell into silence, the chairman of the council showed a bitter smile: "Can there be 10,000 people?"

Lu Yongchang: "???"

"Sure enough, there aren't even ten thousand people..."

Seeing Lu Yongchang's strange eyes, the Councilor's eyes became more and more painful.

There are a total of 1.5 billion Xia people, but they can't even protect 10,000 people!

"Ahem... Speaker, you may have misunderstood."

Lu Yongchang said with a strange expression: "According to my plan, after excluding some old people and patients who are not suitable for interstellar navigation, and then counting the natural growth rate in the next fifteen years... there should be about 1 billion people in Xia State. Escaped successfully."

"..."

Silence fell in the office.

"Yongchang... do you know what you are talking about?" The council leader looked at Lu Yongchang in front of him with a strange expression.

“One billion people traveling to the stars?”

"Are you telling me a science fiction story?"

Lu Yongchang looked at the Chairman of the Assembly and said seriously: "Senior Assemblyman, in the research and development of controllable nuclear fusion, you should know that I have done everything I said."

The chairman of the council looked a little moved, and then he nodded slightly and acknowledged Lu Yongchang's words.

"Senior Councilor, perhaps the plan I mentioned is a bit crazy, but for the sake of the future of the people of Xia Country, I hope you can completely believe me!"

The chairman of the council stared deeply into Lu Yongchang's eyes.

a long time.

He took a deep breath.

"good!"

"I trust you!"

…

"Our news is that from now on, Xia State will establish a space agency, and the first director will be Lu Yongchang, the father of controllable nuclear fusion."

"The primary mission of NASA is..."

In the evening, Xia Guo News Channel broke a piece of breaking news!

In just half an hour, the four words “Space Agency” topped the trending search list for scarves!

"What the hell?! NASA?? Xia Guo is going to enter space?"

"I think it's a good opportunity to enter space now. After all, the United States is being devastated by solar storms, and I can't even take care of it now!"

"Hahaha that makes sense!"

"No, am I the only one who noticed that the first director was Lu Yongchang? If I remember correctly, he should be only twenty years old, right?"

"...If you count the false years, you should be twenty-one years old now."

"Hiss! So terrifying!"

"He is 21 years old and is the director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I am 21 years old and am a college graduate."

"So, can anyone tell me what kind of power this space agency has? Isn't it just a verbal check?"

"Don't say that... If what is said in Xia Guo's news is true, the power of this space agency can be described in eight words: below one person, above ten thousand people!"

"WTF?!"

…

The next day, at noon.

The Xia Kingdom Great Hall was packed with seats.

Everyone here is the top scientist in Xia Kingdom.

Physics, chemistry, materials science, biology...

It can be said that the Xia Kingdom's top wisdom is gathered in the Xia Kingdom's Great Hall at this time!

Lu Yongchang, wearing a decent high-end suit, straightened his expression and walked slowly onto the stage.

"Everyone, I am Lu Yongchang, the first administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration."

"Next, I will explain to you NASA's plans for the next three years."

As he spoke, Lu Yongchang clicked the mouse lightly.

A PPT is presented to everyone through a projector and projection screen.

"Moon Palace Project"

In just a moment, there was a whisper in the Xia State Hall.

Lv Yongchang ignored the discussion in the audience, cleared his throat and explained to himself: "The Moon Palace Project, the full name is the Moon Surface Automatic Mining Project."

"This project is expected to be officially put into production at the end of this year, mainly responsible for obtaining the rich helium-3 resources on the moon."

"In addition, we can also obtain a large amount of ilmenite and various rare earth minerals from the moon."

Before everyone reacted, Lv Yongchang clicked the mouse again.

The PPT screen switched.

"Nantianmen Project"

"Nantianmen Project, this project is expected to be officially completed at the end of next year."

"The main contents of the project include the Xuannv series of aerospace fighters and the Luanniao series of aerospace carrier platforms."

"The main purpose of the project is to deal with the threats from aliens and silicon-based life forms. At the same time, this is also the first step for Xia to move towards cosmic civilization."

Boom!

As Lv Yongchang's voice fell, the Xia State Hall fell into complete chaos!

The flashes of the cameras in the hands of the reporters in the back row flashed wildly!

Every academic big shot turned around and discussed the scene with his companions.

"This... this is just nonsense!"

"How could Chairman Li give such an important task to such a little kid!"

A white-haired academician stood up angrily, muttering: "What's the point of attending such a meeting full of nonsense!"

"Mr. Qiu, be patient." Yang Jianchuan stood up with a wry smile and patted the old man's thin back gently, "Mr. Qiu, I know these projects look unreliable."

"Now there are many people and Professor Lu will not announce it. After these reporters leave, Mr. Qiu, believe me, the truth will eventually come out!"

"Xiaguo... has reached a dead end!"

Yang Jianchuan's low words fell into Mr. Qiu's ears.

Mr. Qiu trembled slightly, glanced at Yang Jianchuan beside him with a complicated expression, and slowly sat back in his chair.

"In that case, I'll take a good look at what this Lv Yongchang is doing!"

"And Xiaguo... How come it's on its way to a dead end?!"

Such scenes happened in every corner of the Xiaguo Assembly Hall.

In order to prevent information leakage from causing social unrest, the news that the sun has entered the aging period was basically unknown to outsiders except for the scientists who attended the meeting!

"Quiet!" Lv Yongchang knocked on the table lightly and opened the next PPT again.

"Heavenly Plan"!
