Bright Sword starts with the grenade flat.

Chapter 386 The Decision to Fight or Flight
A good example is that meteorites traveling at thousands or even tens of kilometers per second can actually enter the atmosphere of the blue planet. If their volume is not large enough, they will be rubbed and burned by the atmosphere of the blue planet.

Similarly, if the metal projectile of a fighter's electromagnetic cannon is moving too fast, not only will its kinetic energy be quickly consumed by air resistance, but the projectile itself will also vaporize due to friction with the air.

And it's not just electromagnetic guns, the same is true for high-power lasers. Lasers in the planet's atmosphere will also heat the gas molecules in the planet's atmosphere, thereby consuming the laser's energy layer by layer.

For example, a laser that can be emitted for hundreds or thousands of kilometers in space without dispersing cannot penetrate a few kilometers in the atmosphere. If there is heavy fog, it may not be able to penetrate even a few hundred meters.

Therefore, Liu Xiu, who understood the great advantages of superconductors in laser weapons and electromagnetic catapult weapons, spoke again:

"Of course, the most critical thing is the huge help that electromagnetic laser weapons made of superconducting materials can provide to the military. Superconducting energy storage can solve the energy storage capacitor problem of laser and electromagnetic weapons, making our laser weapons more powerful and the projectiles fired by electromagnetic weapons more powerful! So let's vote on whether to fight or flee!

Of course, from my personal point of view, helping Pandora to deal with the alien humans is a more cost-effective thing! Not only can it suppress the development of alien humans, but it can also take our technological strength to a higher level! And the alien humans have not yet mastered the curvature engine technology for superluminal navigation, so even if they can't beat us, we have a way out! "

Liu Xiu did not mention the cooperation reached with Jack, but first talked about the importance of superconducting ore. After all, if Liu Xiu, as the captain of Wandering Blue Planet, forced orders and demands, it would naturally cause a rebellious mentality among the senior executives.

But it would be much better to persuade people with benefits. So of course after Liu Xiu finished speaking, without much hesitation, many people raised their hands to express their agreement with Liu Xiu's plan to help the Na'vi people of Pandora to deal with the alien humans on Blue Planet No. 2.

After the entire top leadership of Wandering Blue Star agreed to Liu Xiu's plan, it was natural to formulate a detailed and specific battle plan.

The first point is to publicize to the more than six billion humans wandering on the blue planet. After all, artificial intelligence is now disabled, so fighting against alien humans naturally still requires people to drive space fighters.

Therefore, the most important thing is how to prevent the humans on the Wandering Blue Star from developing an anti-war mentality. After all, Liu Xiu does not want another person like Jack, the protagonist of the movie Avatar, to appear in the army of the Wandering Blue Star.

Therefore, the propaganda method that Liu Xiu and the propaganda personnel came up with was very simple, which was to broadcast the experience of the indigenous Na'vi people of Pandora.

In particular, the scene filmed by Liu Xiu, in which the Na'vi people cried in despair when their giant tree home was destroyed, was played.

It has to be said that the aesthetic taste of nanopeople is quite consistent with that of humans, so this clip shocked many people as soon as it was played.

Therefore, under such propaganda, many humans wandering on the blue planet also agreed to help the Na'vi to fight against the invasion of alien humans.

After all, especially the last part of the promotional video, it is very attractive that if the alien humans are defeated, the humans wandering on the blue planet can travel to Pandora.

After all, they had long been tired of living in this claustrophobic underground city, and the environment on Pandora was much better than that on the Wandering Blue Planet before they wandered!

After Liu Xiu saw that everyone agreed to help Pandora fight against the alien humans, he naturally planned to announce the dissolution of the meeting.

But at this moment, an older man with half-white hair raised his hand and said:
"Captain, can I ask when you plan to promote the genetic enhancement drug you have researched?" That's right, the person who raised his hand is naturally one of the senior management of Wandering Blue Star. However, as he gets older, he naturally feels a little overwhelmed, although there is a digital life plan on Wandering Blue Star.

But he also knew something about this thing. It could only be regarded as a memory backup, not a rebirth at all. So Liu Xiu's gene-enhancing potion that could restore his youth naturally attracted the old man.

After the old man finished speaking, the other older senior executives present also looked at Liu Xiu eagerly.

Liu Xiu naturally understood what they were expecting, so he immediately said very seriously:
“Although the gene enhancement drug has been developed, since my wife and I were the only ones on the spacecraft at the time, I am not sure what shortcomings this gene enhancement drug has. After all, there is too little data to experiment with!
However, one thing is certain, that is, the gene enhancement drug is hereditary, because my daughter inherited it, and now her physical fitness is far superior to that of human children of the same age! So I don't plan to promote it on a large scale, but plan to conduct a certain range of tests before promoting it!"

But just as Liu Xiu finished speaking, the gray-haired old man who had spoken just now immediately raised his hand and said:

"Captain, I...I am willing to volunteer to test the gene-enhancing drug! Anyway, I am already so old, and I don't have many years left to live. Why not make a final contribution to the future of the humans on Wandering Blue Star!"

Liu Xiu glanced at the high-ranking official who spoke with great righteousness, but did not expose his cowardly nature. Instead, he nodded and said:

"In that case, let's recruit people from all over the world who are over 70 years old to test the gene enhancement drug!"

That's right, the reason why Liu Xiu wanted to use the elderly for testing was naturally because these dying elderly people were the most likely to agree. After all, with Liu Xiu's example of returning to youth, naturally there would be many people flocking to him.

And the reason why they choose the elderly is naturally because they are all dying soon, so they are not afraid of any side effects on life. After all, they are already dying, and even if they die accidentally, it is only a few years earlier or later.

But if you succeed, you can live more than 200 years longer!

That's right, although the maximum human lifespan is around 150 years, most people find it difficult to live to 100, let alone 150 years old, due to various reasons. Even though it is already 2085, there has not been much progress in medical care, and the average lifespan is still in the seventies or even less than eighties.

There is no way to overcome cancer, so there is naturally no way to extend human lifespan to the limit.

Sure enough, when Liu Xiu himself spoke out and said that he would recruit volunteers over the age of 70 to test the medicine, people flocked to sign up. At the same time, the support rate of Liu Xiu, the governor of the Wandering Blue Planet, also reached a new high.

And it's not just people over 70 years old. Many cancer patients who have been sentenced to death have also requested to be injected with genetic drugs to serve as experimental subjects.

Liu Xiu naturally did not refuse this and immediately added a provision that terminally ill patients could also participate in the experiment.
