Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

"Given Earth's current inferior military strength, I propose that we formally launch the 'Black Great Wall' project that our Lieyang civilization once put forward to you."

The so-called Black Great Wall Project is to integrate the global military industrial system and, with the technical support of the Lieyang Civilization and the Deno descendants, transform it into a cutting-edge military industry of the Shenhe level.

Mass-producing War God-level combat units, including but not limited to: activating and arming super gene warriors, comprehensively upgrading conventional force equipment, and developing ships and weapon platforms capable of interstellar warfare.

"This plan will enable Earth to gain preliminary interplanetary self-defense capabilities in the short term."

Lena concluded, but she also bluntly pointed out the cost:

"But this will also force your human civilization to passively accept an irreversible and drastic technological revolution, and social structures and even ways of thinking may undergo tremendous changes."

Several senior representatives from China Shenzhou exchanged views in hushed tones, and finally made a solemn statement:

"We support the launch of Project Black Wall. For the continuation of civilization, we must make changes."

At this moment, everyone's eyes, including Dukao's, subconsciously turned to Qin Chuan, who had been sitting quietly in the corner since the beginning of the meeting, seemingly detached from the situation, waiting for his final opinion.

Dukao even asked for instructions silently with his eyes.

Lena then truly focused her attention on this exceptionally handsome man with an unfathomable aura.

She had only thought he was good-looking before, but now it seemed that he held a very high position, even General Dukao and the top officials of Shenzhou had to be mindful of his feelings.

Under everyone's gaze, Qin Chuan slowly spoke, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable weight: "Project Black Wall can be launched."

Just as Lena's face showed a hint of "you know what's good for you," she heard Qin Chuan continue:

"However, Earth does not need the technological support of the Sun Civilization."

Lena's smile froze instantly, thinking she had misheard.

Qin Chuan looked at her, his tone still calm:

"If Miss Lena is willing to stay on Earth as a friend, help train the warriors, share some combat experience, and jointly resist the Taotie invasion, I welcome you on behalf of Earth. But the technology transfer is unnecessary."

Lena was so angry she almost laughed; she thought this man was incredibly arrogant.

"Do you even know what you're saying? Without the technology of our Lieyang civilization, how can you achieve a technological leap forward? Do you think you can fight against the Taotie's interstellar fleet with your existing gunpowder weapons and rudimentary nuclear technology? That's utterly delusional!"

Qin Chuan's expression remained unchanged, as if her questioning was merely a gentle breeze: "How to achieve this is Earth's own business. There's no need for Miss Lena and the Lieyang Civilization to worry about it."

Lena was thoroughly enraged by his unyielding and condescending attitude. She abruptly stood up, her red hair moving without any wind.

"Good! Very good! I'd like to see what tricks you can pull without the help of the blazing sun! I hope you'll still be this arrogant when the Taotie army is on our side!"

After saying that, she snorted coldly, didn't even look at the others, turned around and strode out of the conference room, slamming the door shut with a loud bang.

The atmosphere in the meeting room became somewhat awkward and silent for a moment.

Ducao gave a wry smile, breaking the silence, and said to Qin Chuan, "Sir, I understand your concerns."

Fourteen hundred years ago, Pan Zhen's "Heavenly Way Plan" failed in its military invasion.

Fourteen hundred years later, he did not give up, but simply adopted a more covert and 'gentle' approach.

The Black Wall Project, seemingly an aid initiative, is actually designed to make Earth's civilization technologically completely dependent on the Sun, ultimately assimilating it and incorporating it into the Sun's system without its knowledge.

Pan Zhen still wants the blazing sun to become the 'natural law' of the earth.

"However, although what Lena said was harsh, it was not without reason."

Dukao abruptly changed the subject, his brow furrowing:

"Without sufficiently advanced technological support, especially a leapfrog breakthrough in energy and materials science, the Black Wall Project would indeed be out of the question. The technological repertoire left by our Deno system is incomplete, and much of it is not fully adapted to Earth's environment."

Qin Chuan glanced at him and said calmly, "It's a technical issue, no need to worry."

"Back in the Super God Academy, the knowledge I gained and digested from the Great Clock was far more extensive, deeper, and more fundamental than what the Lieyang Civilization could offer. I will compile a technology tree suitable for Earth's current stage of development."

He stood up, walked to the huge porthole, and gazed at the boundless sea outside:

"As for allies, I have already found better options for Earth. What you need to do now is to resolve the internal conflicts and divisions of Earth as soon as possible."

His gaze deepened: "An alien invasion is imminent. If the major powers are still indulging in internal scheming and power struggles, or even sabotaging each other, then they are being too out of touch with reality and it is too pathetic."

Dukao was deeply shocked upon hearing this.

He understood Qin Chuan's unspoken meaning: Earth needed to be unified, or at least a highly consistent union, no longer divided by countries, but rather by "Earth civilization" as a whole to deal with the crisis.

In Qin Chuan's view, this might be a trivial matter that was perfectly reasonable, and not even worth his personal attention.

But Ducao knew all too well how much historical grievance, geopolitics, and conflicting interests were involved, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile:

"Sir, this is by no means an easy task. But on behalf of China, I will do my utmost to promote and coordinate it."

Qin Chuan nodded, seemingly unsurprised by the answer.

He concluded by saying, "As for the recruitment and discovery of super soldiers, I will personally take charge of that. In my opinion, that's the 'major matter' that's barely worth my time right now."

After saying that, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left the conference room.

Without Dukao's instruction, Du Qiangwei, who had been quietly listening but whose heart was already in turmoil, immediately got up and quickly followed.

She is now filled with endless curiosity about this Earth God and a strong urge to learn more about him.

His power, his ideals, his nonchalant denial of the blazing solar technology, and his talk of "better allies"—all of these attracted her like a giant magnet.

In the corridor of the Juxia, only Qin Chuan's steady footsteps and Qiangwei's slightly hurried following could be heard.

Chapter 17 A True, Mighty Man

The bustling city of Juxia remains as vibrant as ever, with its heavy traffic and flashing neon lights, but all of this is now irrelevant to Qin Chuan.

His purpose was clear, his steps were firm, and he had no interest in leisurely strolling around.

Rose beside him had an even more solemn expression. The two walked through the noisy streets and went straight to the police station where Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang were being detained.

The police station was brightly lit, exuding a cold, bureaucratic atmosphere. Thanks to the special military credentials presented by Rose, the process was greatly simplified, and they were quickly led to a quiet interrogation room.

The first person I met was Ge Xiaolun.

He sat in the chair, his hands clasped nervously, his eyes filled with the bewilderment and innocent naiveté typical of college students. He was clearly still reeling from the bizarre fight and subsequent detention the previous night.

In the next room, Liu Chuang was locked up. He leaned against the wall with a cocky and unruly air about him. When he saw Qin Chuan and Qiangwei come in, he even raised his chin provocatively.

Without any pleasantries or preamble, Qin Chuan's gaze fell squarely on the two of them, cutting straight to the point and dropping a bombshell:

"The Taotie Civilization, a spacefaring, invading civilization from the Styx Galaxy. Their vanguard fleet has already reached the outer reaches of the solar system, and a full-scale invasion could begin at any moment."

The air seemed to freeze.

Ge Xiaolun opened his mouth wide and stared wide-eyed, as if he was digesting words like "aliens" and "invasion" that should only appear in movies.

Liu Chuang also dropped his nonchalant expression and frowned.

Qin Chuan's voice remained calm, yet carried an undeniable power: "And you are not ordinary people. Super soldier genes lie dormant within you. The abnormal power you unleashed during your fight a few days ago is proof that these genes have been initially activated."

"I...I am...a super soldier?"

Ge Xiaolun pointed to his nose, his face filled with disbelief. Then, as if he had just remembered something, he suddenly pointed to the next room:

"And what about him? Is he a gang leader too?"

His tone was filled with extreme doubt about Liu Chuang's identity and a kind of conflicted feeling of shame at associating with him.

Hearing this, Liu Chuang from next door instantly flew into a rage, yelling through the metal bars, "Hey! Ge Xiaolun, who are you calling a hooligan! I'm a big shot in the underworld! You know what a big shot is? The kind with a name and territory!"

He spat, but what he said next was unexpected:

"Besides, so what if I'm a thug? Can't thugs protect their country? Thugs have guts too! If those alien bastards really attack, you'll see if I, Liu Chuang, am the first one to charge in! Even if my head falls off, it's just a scar the size of a bowl. If I even flinch, I'm not a son of my parents!"

This rough yet resolute declaration, imbued with a burning passion, stunned Ge Xiaolun.

Looking into Liu Chuang's eyes, which, though roguish, were unusually serious and even flashed with a fierce light, he subconsciously shrank back. Although he was still apprehensive, a strange surge of heat welled up inside him, and his mouth unconsciously followed suit, shouting:

"I...of course I'm willing! Protecting the Earth is my duty!"

However, compared to Liu Chuang's savage roar, these words sounded particularly weak and lacked confidence.

Just then, Qin Chuan calmly poured cold water on their enthusiasm. His voice wasn't loud, but it instantly suppressed the slight surge of pride that had just risen between them: "With your current level, going to the front lines is just suicide. It's a meaningless waste of your activated genes and precious lives."

Seeing the sudden freeze on their expressions, he continued:

"Before you truly face the enemy, you need to enter the Super God Academy and undergo systematic, rigorous, and even brutal training until you reach the standard of a qualified warrior."

He revealed his identity, "And I am currently the acting principal of the Super God Academy. For the next period of time, I will be in charge of your training."

"Super God Academy? Training?"

Liu Chuang's eyes lit up, his enthusiasm returned, and he rubbed his hands together, looking eager to get started.

"When do we start? I can't wait to smash those alien bastards' heads in! Principal, give me a straight answer!"

Ge Xiaolun, however, was more concerned with practical matters. He cautiously raised his hand, his voice weak:

"Um... Principal... I, can I go home and tell my parents? I didn't go home last night, and I didn't answer my phone. They must be so worried..."

“There’s no need to rush training.” Qin Chuan’s gaze swept over the two of them. “Once all your teammates have arrived, we will naturally gather you together. Until then, take care of your personal matters.”

After saying that, he said no more and turned to signal Rose to leave.

The door to the interrogation room closed gently, leaving Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang to process the enormous amount of information.

One student began to worry about how to explain this adventure to their parents, while the other excitedly gestured with fists and feet at the air, already envisioning the scene of smashing the alien dog's head.

After leaving the police station, Qin Chuan and Qiangwei continued their search for other targets.

Zhao Xin, who possesses the genes of the Dexing Spear, found him while he was causing a ruckus by chasing a thief in a "chivalrous" manner.

This long-haired, eccentric, and passionate young man practically jumped for joy at the prospect of becoming a superhero and fighting aliens, his eyes gleaming with excitement as if a great mission had been bestowed upon him.

Cheng Yaowen, a descendant of the prince of the Deno star system, was found in a farmland in the suburbs.

He rolled up his trousers, his feet were covered in mud, and his demeanor was as calm and composed as a stone in a field.

After carefully confirming the identities of the two individuals and the exact information about the Super God Academy, a complex light flashed in the young man's eyes—a mixture of reminiscence and heaviness—which ultimately transformed into a firm resolve. He solemnly nodded in agreement to join.

The initial success made Rose relax a little.

Until they found Su Xiaoli's residence, an old, somewhat remote and dilapidated residential building on the outskirts of the city.

The hallway was dimly lit and filled with a faint damp smell.

When they knocked on the door, a young woman who seemed out of place in her surroundings appeared before them.

She wore a silk slip dress that accentuated her slender figure, and her makeup was impeccably exquisite. However, her slightly upturned, alluring eyes held a detachment, languor, and worldly indifference that seemed out of place for her age.
