Chapter 26 Program Passed
"The sparrows on the telephone poles were made up by Chinese people, because most people know that the emergency number in the United States is 911 instead of 110."

"Only Chinese and Americans who are extremely bored are keen to make up such funny chicken soup stories." The French representative on the side said rather frivolously.

"Okay, don't talk about these useless things." The German representative said: "Chairman Say, no one said not to let people eat, but you seem to be too keen on this aspect.

"To be honest, you are the one who has an abnormal obsession with agriculture. Even in the face of the three-body crisis, you still have to insist on some agricultural innovation."

"Please pay attention to your attitude, you should not question the personal attitude of the Wallfacer." Say warned the German representative, who then did not speak.

"Everyone, I have already sent you the general plan, please read it." After Sai finished speaking, the representatives of various countries began to read it with mixed feelings.

After seeing Say's magnificent plan, everyone was stunned, not because of other reasons, but mainly because the cost was too staggering.

Such a grand plan cannot be expressed in money, it consumes technical talents and resources. It can only be said that these plans are enough for the entire human civilization to complete for several years without eating or drinking.

"Even if the governments of all countries don't spend a penny from now on and entrust all the fiscal revenue to you alone, it will take nearly ten years to meet your unrealistic requirements." The British representative questioned.

"I wonder if you think that when you run out of money, you just print some more money?"

"It's a pity that this naive idea does not conform to the most basic economics. No one can do this." The representative of the United States also mocked.

"Of course I know that the resources of this project are very expensive, but the benefits it brings are also amazing, and human civilization will usher in a qualitative leap."

"Now the whole world is facing the three-body crisis. Human beings still have a lot to do. We should not waste our energy on such trivial matters." The representative of the United States retorted.

"Ah? Could it be that in your eyes, the billions of people in Asia, Africa and Latin America are not human beings, but some kind of beasts? Otherwise, how can it be called an insignificant trivial matter?" Sai asked pretending to be surprised.

"Sir, you have to know that not all places are as developed as the Western world, but because of some obscure reasons, they were abandoned by the media."

"But this is an era of war! We are now facing an alien invasion." The US representative justified: "Building a space fleet and a solar system defense circle is what humans should do first."

"As for the need to have enough food for the poor, we need to worry about it later. We shouldn't delay because of the living conditions of some people."

"You mean the whole world should learn from North Korea?" Say asked.

"That's not what I meant!" The representative of the United States felt as uncomfortable as eating a fly when he heard this, and he quickly defended: "But the war with the Trisolarans has never been experienced by human beings."

"The lighthouse of the world disregarded the human rights of the poor in Asia, Africa and Latin America, and abandoned the precious democracy before the Trisolarans came. This is absolutely sensational news!"

"It's a pity that the PDC's Wallfacer hearings only allow the participation of the nine major council members, otherwise those small countries will definitely express their opinions."

"What I'm curious about is, do you have any unique philosophical insights like Socrates, or how do you have the nerve to say this?"

"As a Wallfacer, I want to protect the modern democratic system, but you are starting to be a dictator instead?" Say said in disdain before the representative of the United States finished speaking.

"You're slandering!" the American representative said dissatisfiedly. He seemed to have a lot to say, but unfortunately he couldn't think of any excuses after the reply.

"Even if humane considerations are excluded, the economic base determines the superstructure, you have heard the saying, you can't eat enough, how to develop a star fleet?" Sai chased after the victory.

"It's not like the Trisolaran fleet will arrive in the solar system tomorrow. We can completely lay the groundwork for a century or two before building a more powerful interstellar fleet."

"If you want to lay a solid foundation, the people must have enough to eat before they can develop other things. Therefore, agriculture is the foundation of human civilization."

"It's impossible for humans to stop eating after the three-body crisis. As long as humans still need to eat, the problem of agriculture will be resolved sooner or later."

Hearing this, the representatives of various countries in the audience began to whisper. In fact, although some countries reacted fiercely to this, for those developing countries, the proposals given by Say are still very attractive.

Because unlike developed countries with cutting-edge technology, developing countries face the problem of limited markets for low-end industrial products, so they hope to expand the market through various means.

The fourth agricultural revolution proposed by Say can alleviate the food problem, and the poor who have solved the food problem will naturally turn to other consumption.

In this way, the market can be extended and expanded, so that developing industrial countries can obtain a sufficiently large market.

The main problem is that in the face of the three-body crisis, the development of the economy with great fanfare, and this kind of investment in foreign countries cannot be formally proposed.

Of course we can do this after the big trough, but it is very difficult now, and we cannot pass the political hurdle alone.

However, it would be different if it was proposed by the Wall-facer. First of all, the Wall-facer himself can do some unreasonable things, and it is worth encouraging the Wall-facer to make outrageous suggestions.

Secondly, the Wallfacer itself is a supplement to the mainstream defense plan. Say's previous intervention in the Space Force's non-propellant engine has actually aroused some people's doubts.

But at this time, she voluntarily quit the Space Force to do something that the PDC would never have done, which could actually arouse the support of the public.

....
In the end, under the balance of all parties, Say passed the fourth agricultural revolution plan in the PDC on the condition that the three-dimensional countryside and the ecological circle built were reduced in the requirements of the original plan.

This can also be regarded as the result of games between countries. Although the United States and Germany strongly opposed it, China, Russia, India and France voted in favor of this plan.

However, the countries that voted for it also specifically told Say that the development of the star fleet is the key project at this stage, and the level of the fourth agricultural revolution is under the defense of the three-body invasion.

In other words, although the resources allocated for this plan are still astronomical, they are certainly not as much as Say originally requested. This is a shrunk plan.

While the PDC countries were still thinking about this plan, Say began to watch the news on the Internet.
