Chapter 497 Moon

"The distance between the earth and the moon is still too close." Someone said worriedly during the meeting.

Being forced to colonize the desert planet of the moon, they were naturally suffocating in their hearts, but at the same time, there were still some unspeakable and lingering fears deep in their hearts.

Although it now seems that the madman has entered a state similar to dormant sleep, hiding in the darkness with the earth, they are still a little worried that they don't know when he will wake up again and become everyone's nightmare. .

"Of all of you here, is anyone sure that they can reach the seventh level within ten years?" Joseph Lee, the co-speaker of the Human Federation, asked bluntly at the meeting.

Chen Bo beside him shook his head gently.

"Not very realistic." Shi Huachong's projection also expressed his thoughts.

…

Joseph wanted to know about the possibility of fighting against the forces of the earth. Unfortunately, almost everyone present had little interest in exposing their true situation.

"Jie Jie Jie, give me another thirty years, there is some hope." Only Tiqi, who was always shrouded in black smoke, spoke of his situation without any care.

Of course, how true it is is a matter of opinion.

…

After a group of sixth-order people expressed their opinions one after another, Joseph had a rough idea of ​​the current situation and understood that the balance of power maintained in a short period of time would not change much.

Unconsciously, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Because if there really is another seventh-order one emerging, the Human Federation will most likely face a situation where one company is dominant again.

The most extreme case is the emergence of a superior dictator, just like what happened on earth before.

Many people at the meeting had quite conflicting views on the emergence of seventh-order power.

As a group of people with the most powerful power in the world, on the one hand, after seeing a higher level of power that can push everything equally, they deeply realized that within the human federation, there must be such power to compete with the earth. huge pressure.

But on the other hand, they are also worried about the recurrence of tragedy, because people with such power are definitely far more dangerous than the country that was the first to build nuclear weapons.

The emergence of a great dictator. Except for him and his direct descendants, it is not in the interests of the vast majority of other people.

Especially in a loose regime like the Human Federation, which was temporarily established due to external pressure.

"In that case, then I have a proposal." Joseph tapped the table, took a deep breath and said, "I propose to transform the moon, which is the planet we are on, into a planet fortress."

As soon as these words came out, many people were stunned for a moment, but they did not directly question it, but waited for Joseph to give a reason that was enough to convince them.

He is not a lunatic. There must be sufficient basis for proposing this, otherwise it will be an extremely heavy blow to the prestige of the Speaker's position.

"The future of mankind lies in space. I believe everyone has no objection to this." Joseph said first.

"Although the moon is rich in iron, titanium, and aluminum metal resources, as well as a large amount of helium-3 as a raw material for thermonuclear reactions, the abundance of other resources is still far behind that of the earth."

"If we are trapped here, it will be difficult for us to even build a space fleet large enough to expedition to Mars."

After the Human Federation was forced to go to space, going into space has become the consensus of almost everyone, and it is also the central task of the federal government in the future.

Before the civilizations on other planets in the solar system have developed, using the technological gap to defeat them is the policy decided by the higher-ups.

It is undoubtedly a very dangerous thing to engage in a deadly battle with an evenly matched civilization.

In comparison, it is naturally more in line with the interests of the entire race to use aircraft and cannons to defeat cold weapons and harm children in zero combat.

"So I propose that the moon should be transformed into a semi-colonial and semi-military planetary battle fortress, allowing civilians to move into subspace or live inside the moon."

"In this way, when launching a war, we can drive the lunar base directly to the vicinity of the enemy planet without spending the already insufficient resources to build an interstellar fleet to transport soldiers participating in the attack across hundreds of millions of kilometers."

"According to your thoughts, our human federation is going to transform into interstellar nomads?"

"It can also be said that the starry sky is too vast and we still lack high-speed large-scale transportation technology. Becoming a starry sky nomad can ensure our unity." Joseph said righteously.

A fleet that has traveled hundreds of millions of kilometers away. With the current technological level of the human federation on the moon, there is no good way to ensure the loyalty of the people on it.

At the same time, such a long transportation distance also cuts off the possibility of logistical supplies. The fleet must solve all problems on its own. In that case, it is better to go to the battlefield with the home planet tied to it.

It was for these reasons that Joseph finally made such a suggestion.

…

"I think it's possible."

"Seconded."

…

After some discussion, a bunch of clones at the scene basically agreed with Joseph's view. Of course, there was a deeper reason for escaping from the earth that no one wanted to say.

Although not all of them have heard of the phrase "accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger", they still seem very insecure when staying next to a madman who can destroy the world.

Today he can kick everyone who disobeys him to the moon, and tomorrow he can make them all die if he doesn't agree with him.

More than one person has had such a nightmare. From the dark shadow of the earth, without warning, a boundless hand stretched out and tore the moon into four pieces.

"If there are no other issues, a formal vote on this resolution will be held in a week..." Joseph concluded.

…

"How long have I been gone?" Bai Mo, who was walking along the strange passage, had forgotten how long he had been walking in this chaotic space.

The twisted and changeable space tore and divided his body from time to time, but this was meaningless. In the next moment, it would reunite back to its original appearance.

The biggest drain on walking in the passage comes not from the recovery of the body, but from Bai Mo's constant testing of his high-dimensional vision ability.

His regular spiritual thoughts are quite limited in the distorted space, and he often perceives some distorted and incomplete pictures. Only by turning on the scanning of high-dimensional vision can Bai Mo fully perceive everything around him.

Overlapping, distortion, collapse... Various picture fragments were reorganized by high-dimensional visual abilities, making him seem to perceive a trace of the truth related to the nature of aura.

But it's just a little clue, and it may be far from the truth...
