Chapter 55: Formulating a Plan, Rare Substances

After Luo Fei finished speaking, the hall remained silent for a few seconds.

He looked around—more than a thousand faces, a thousand expressions, yet all eyes revealed the same expectation: waiting for him to continue.

No one raised their hand to ask any more questions, nor did anyone question whether the alien fleet had come to their aid. The Japanese representative lowered his head, staring intently at the notebook in front of him.

Luo Fei tapped his fingers lightly on the table. The sound was soft, but it traveled through the microphone and resonated throughout the room, as if striking a chord in everyone's heart.

"The meeting continues. The matter of the Blue Star United Government, which we just discussed, has been approved by everyone through a show of hands. The next item is the second matter—to formulate a battle plan."

He paused briefly.

Inside the hall, some people subconsciously straightened their backs, while others picked up pens from their notebooks and gripped them tightly in their hands.

Luo Fei was referring to a battle plan, not passive defense, not an attempt to evade, and certainly not preparations for negotiations.

"As the saying goes, the best defense is to take the initiative to attack. If we are facing an enemy that is far stronger than us, and we just hide in our shells and wait for them to knock on us, once the shells are broken, all that awaits us is death."

"The existing weapon systems on Earth are practically useless against the energy shields of the alien fleet. You've all seen the particle cannons on my ship; they only need one shot to destroy Titan. But the Calda civilization's fleet has thirty more advanced ships. If I were to fight them head-on with just my ship, my chances of winning would be almost zero."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became heavy.

"Therefore, we need to build our own space defense system. This will not rely on mushroom bombs or existing laser weapons, but will utilize advanced weapons on spacecraft, such as particle cannons and laser cannons."

"We need to gather the world's top scientists, have them learn the relevant technologies and manufacture these weapons, and then deploy them in Earth's near-Earth orbit, the asteroid belt, and various strategic nodes in the solar system."

"When the Calda civilization's fleet arrives, we must take advantage of their underestimation and lack of preparedness of Earth, and launch a preemptive strike to catch them off guard."

"This does not rely on one or two advanced weapons, but on systems, numbers, coordinated operations, and mobilizing the industrial capacity of the entire planet to manufacture all the weapons that can be made and deploy them in all the possible locations."

Elder Long nodded slightly, a small gesture, but it was clearly noticed by the representatives of the major powers beside him.

The representative of the United States was writing something in his notebook, the pen tip making a soft scratching sound as it moved across the paper.

The representative from the Northern Bear Kingdom leaned back in his chair, arms crossed, his gaze fixed intently on Luo Fei.

Director Qin sat next to Luo Fei, repeatedly opening and closing the lid of his thermos.

As soon as Luo Fei finished speaking, he put down his cup and slowly began to speak.

"The Dragon Kingdom fully supports General Luo's proposal. Regarding technology sharing, the Dragon Kingdom will share all relevant technologies with the entire planet without reservation."

"At the same time, the Dragon Kingdom has always respected the territorial sovereignty and internal affairs of other countries, a fact that is evident to all of the Blue Star."

"The Dragon Kingdom has had wars with neighboring countries in the past. Even when it attacked the capital of another country, it chose to withdraw its troops and return home. It has never occupied an inch of territory that does not belong to the Dragon Kingdom."

"We do not seek hegemony, we do not engage in colonial rule, and we do not divide spheres of influence. Our wish is for all of Earth to unite and overcome the current difficulties together."

The representative from the polar bear country loosened his arms from his chest, placed his hands flat on the table, and slightly spread his fingers.

The representative from the United States used a pen to forcefully cross out the few words he had just written in his notebook, so forcefully that he even tore the paper.

The representatives from other countries in the hall, especially those from smaller countries, visibly relaxed.

Everyone knows the meaning behind Director Qin's last few sentences—"We have never occupied an inch of territory that does not belong to the Dragon Kingdom."

Luo Fei waited a moment, and seeing no response, turned to look at his phone on the table and asked, "Xiao Wan, regarding the study of spaceship weapon technology, if we bring together the top experts from across the entire planet to research it, how long would it take to master it?"

Xiao Wan's voice came through the phone, clearly audible in the quiet hall, and everyone could hear it perfectly.

"Captain, the spaceship is equipped with a holographic projection teaching system. No matter what technology it is, from the basic principles to the practical applications, it can be demonstrated intuitively from all angles without any blind spots through holographic projection."

"The learner's experience is not simply 'seeing' and 'hearing,' but 'immersion.' After entering the holographic teaching environment, attention will be significantly improved compared to learning in the classroom, because the teaching system will simultaneously block all external interference signals, allowing students to be fully immersed in the process of knowledge absorption."

It paused for a moment, as if it were doing some calculations.

"Based on my analysis of the intelligence level of the top scientists on Earth, if the countries on Earth could select the best weapons experts, physicists, materials scientists and engineers to form a special learning team to focus on studying the key technologies of weapon systems such as particle cannons, laser cannons and energy shields, then they should be able to master the relevant basic theories and core processes in about a month."

"But there's a prerequisite—Blue Planet currently lacks certain rare and special substances. For example, the energy focusing crystal for the particle cannon requires europium, a rare earth element that is extremely rare on Blue Planet."

"The energy output and accuracy of the particle cannon depend to a large extent on the purity of this crystal. Europium reserves on Earth are extremely scarce, and known mineral deposits are insufficient to support large-scale production."

"The reflector lenses for the laser cannon require an alloy formula that does not exist naturally on Earth; the corresponding elements need to be mined in space to synthesize it. In addition, the alternative to missile propellant, the Wan Nian Falcon, uses antimatter catalysis, a technology that Earth cannot currently achieve."

As soon as Xiao Wan finished speaking, the phone screen lit up, and a clear panoramic view of the solar system was displayed in Luo Fei's eyes, with several points of light flashing at different orbital positions.

"Based on data transmitted back by previously launched probes, I have mapped the distribution of these rare materials within the solar system. Some are located in the asteroid belt, some on Mars' moons, and others on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Although the reserves are not abundant, they are sufficient to meet the quantity requirements for weapons production."

Luo Fei stared at the distribution map for a moment, then put his phone back on the table and turned to face everyone in the hall.

"Everyone heard that. We must master these technologies within a month. Then we must manufacture weapons and deploy them into space. If we run out of special materials, I will be responsible for acquiring them."

"The special materials obtained will be allocated by the Resource Allocation Committee. This is not a matter for any one country, but a common affair for the entire planet."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent, and no one raised any questions. The first resolution of the Blue Star United Government was thus passed without a vote.

The representative from the United States picked up his phone, and the screen lit up instantly, the soft, warm light gently smoothing the wrinkles on his face.

He dialed a number, held the phone to his ear, and said simply after the call connected: "Send the men over. The best of the best."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without leaving any further explanation.

The representative from the Northern Bear Kingdom did not make a phone call. Instead, he took out a notepad from his pocket, quickly wrote a few lines, folded it up, and handed it to the person accompanying him.

The handwriting on the note was so illegible that it was almost impossible to read, but the entourage did not ask any questions, because they knew from the way the paper was folded that it was a top-secret order.

Representatives from other countries also sprang into action, some making phone calls, some sending messages, and others calling their entourages to their sides and whispering a few words of advice.

Luo Fei's lips curled up slightly, but returned to normal in a second.

Old Master Long stared at him, then lowered his voice and asked, so low that only those around him could hear, "You have to retrieve all these special substances? Are you sure you can handle it?"

Luo Fei replied, "Teleportation, very fast."

This time, the corners of Elder Long's mouth genuinely curved upwards, but he didn't laugh out loud. The smile was fleeting and barely perceptible before he returned to his serious expression.

A series of hurried footsteps began to echo in the corridor outside the hall.

The entourage filed out through the side door, the sound of their shoes hitting the floor receding into the distance like the receding tide.

The sounds of departing footsteps mingled with the sounds of approaching new footsteps. In a few hours, the most brilliant minds on Earth will depart from various time zones around the world, arriving in Kyoto one after another. They will then board the silver-white spaceship hovering above Kyoto and begin a race against time, immersing themselves in intense study.

Luo Fei sat upright in a large chair, the three gold stars on his dark green military uniform shining quietly under the lights of the conference hall.

-

The meeting concluded before noon.

There was no closing speech, nor any handshake or photo opportunity. After Luo Fei finished speaking, he stood up abruptly. He nodded slightly to Elder Long, glanced in Director Qin's direction, and then, with a thought, his figure vanished from the 10,000-seat conference hall.

Inside the hall, more than a thousand pairs of eyes were focused on that empty seat—the chair was still warm, and the bottle cap on the table had not yet been unscrewed.

Representatives from various countries rose and left one after another, their footsteps gradually fading from near to far, from the initial chaos to a sparse sound.

The simultaneous interpretation headset recycling bins in the corridor were quickly filled.

The delegation from the United States did not leave immediately.

They went into a small meeting room in the side wing of the Great Hall and closed the heavy solid wood door. The door was very soundproof.
