Cutting-edge Technology: I Provide the Brains, the State Provides Everything

150: The unbelievable ”Jianmu” space elevator project!When Academician Lu Chen’s ultimate declaration, filled with god-like ambition and aspiration, ”Build a path to the starry sea,” clearly echoed in the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base’s briefing room, the entire aerospace community of Xia Country erupted!

”Let’s do it!”

”Damn it! It’s just building a tongtian divine ladder, isn’t it?!”

”Academician Lu said it can be done! Then it definitely can be done!”

”Exactly! He even developed something as miraculous as the Anti-gravity Engine! Why would we be afraid of a mere space elevator?!”

”Brothers! What are you waiting for?! Let’s get to work!”

”For our Xia Country’s distant starry sea!”

”Charge!!!”

At once!

The entire Kunlun Mountain Underground Base once again plunged into a scientific research frenzy ten times crazier than any before!

All the aerospace experts who had been frowning over the damned launch costs were now invigorated!

One by one, their minds opened!

Their ideas flowed freely!

An unprecedented super battle, staking the entire nation’s future,

in space,

officially began!

The prelude

was drawn.

That afternoon.

The mobilization order was delivered to all core departments of Xia Country with an efficiency more terrifying than the speed of light!

[Order!]

[Effective immediately! The highest-level, S-S-S-S-S-S-S-grade national strategic project, code-named ’Jianmu,’ is officially launched!]

[Academician Lu Chen is fully in charge of this project!]

[All scientific research units nationwide, all universities, all military industrial enterprises, all national strategic assets!]

[Must unconditionally cooperate with all requirements of the ’Jianmu’ project!]

[Devote everything!]

[At all costs!]

[Within one year!]

[I want to see our Xia Country’s own]

[tongtian divine ladder over the East Sea!]

Boom!!!

This was no longer a simple mobilization order!

This was a declaration of ascension, staking the nation’s destiny and future!

A declaration of ascension!

In an instant!

The entire vast and precise national machine of Xia Country began to operate frantically, with a terrifying momentum a hundred times crazier than ever before!

Countless top talents!

Countless most precious materials!

Countless most advanced equipment!

Converged frantically from all directions towards a deserted coordinate point over the East Sea!

That momentum!

It was simply a modern version of

Nüwa Mending the Sky!

And as the chief designer of this unprecedented ”ascension great work”...

Lu Chen once again demonstrated his terrifying, ”monstrous” creativity!

”heavenly craft!”

He stood in the center of the control room, his dark eyes gleaming with the calmness and wisdom of a creator god!

”Decompose all design drawings and manufacturing processes for the one million core components of the space elevator into ten thousand different project modules!”

[Instruction received.]

heavenly craft’s ethereal virtual figure instantly appeared before him.

[Modules decomposed.]

”Very good.”

Lu Chen nodded.

”Assign the most difficult 0.1% of the ’space cable’ weaving process and the core algorithm of the ’anti-gravity’ base to our pangu team to be personally responsible!”

”The remaining 99.9% of conventional modules will be distributed in the form of ’military orders’ to the top one thousand scientific research units and engineering groups nationwide!”

”Tell them!”

”I don’t care what method they use!”

”Within half a year!”

”I must see a maritime ’Buzhou Mountain’ base in the East Sea capable of supporting the entire ’tongtian divine ladder’!”

”Buzhou Mountain’ base!”

”Those who fail to complete the task—”

A cold arc appeared on his lips.

”Let them explain it to Nüwa themselves!”

[Yes, Master.]

heavenly craft nodded, a trace of fervent adoration flashing in her intelligent eyes!

She knew.

Her young master.

Was playing a grand game that would make all of human civilization tremble!

A grand game!

And she would become the sharpest, most obedient divine carving knife in his hand!

Divine carving knife!

At the same time.

When Xia Country, the sleeping Eastern lion, completely awakened for a common ”flying dream” and unleashed earth-shattering power.

Thousands of miles away, the Western Alliance.

Was still immersed in the immense fear of being dominated by Xia Country’s ”sky hegemony”!

Fear!

Langley, CIA Headquarters.

”Report, Director!”

Jack Anderson, his face ashen with despair, stumbled into Burns’s office!

”Bad, bad news!”

”The Xia Country people, they’ve gone mad again!”

”What?!”

Burns’s hawk-like eyes were bloodshot and filled with deep fatigue.

”Our spy satellites have sent back the latest intelligence!”

Anderson’s voice was trembling!

”The Xia Country people have actually mobilized millions of naval and engineering troops!”

”They’re frantically reclaiming land over their East Sea?!”

”Land reclamation?”

Burns was stunned.

”That’s right!” Anderson said, gloating, ”According to our experts’ analysis.”

”The Xia Country people were likely provoked by our previous military strength at sea.”

”So they launched this labor-intensive, meaningless ’Great Wall of the Sea’ project to seek psychological comfort!”

”Hahahahaha!”

Burns couldn’t hold back after hearing this!

He suddenly stood up from his chair and burst into a hearty, arrogant laugh!

”Great Wall of the Sea?!”

”God! This is the funniest joke I’ve heard all year!”

”Stupid Xia Country people!”

”Do they really think they can defeat a modern navy just by having more people?!”

”It’s utterly foolish!”

”It seems—”

A cold, cruel arc formed on his lips!

”Our previous assessment of them was still too high.”

”Just a bunch of primitives who only know brute force.”

”Pass on my order!”

He turned to Anderson and said coldly:

”Don’t bother with them anymore.”

”Let them play their games.”

”I’d like to see!”

”Their ridiculous Great Wall built of sand!”

”How many rounds of our carrier battle group’s artillery fire it can withstand!”

He didn’t know.

Just as he uttered those words filled with arrogance and prejudice.

Thousands of miles away.

In the nation he called ”primitive.”

A genesis great work that could make even gods and demons change color!

Had quietly begun!

The prelude!

”Report, Academician Lu!”

In the temporary command center in the East Sea, named ”Buzhou Mountain.”

A middle-aged man, his skin darkened by the sea wind, was reporting with fervent excitement to the calm young man on the video screen:

”All genesis-class deep-sea engineering robots are in place!”

”All ’Dragon Bone’ alloy printing modules have been successfully deployed!”

”We can begin at any time—”

”To forge the divine mountain!”

On the other end of the video, Lu Chen simply nodded calmly.

Then, under the middle-aged man’s adoring gaze, he slowly spoke a sentence that made his blood boil.

”Chief Commander Zhou.”

”Tell me—”

”How much force did Gonggong use when he angrily struck Buzhou Mountain back then?”
