Chapter 85 Technical Review: The Solar System Defense Line
In the Elysium World, in the Imperial Central Building, in Fang Heng's office, Wang Yang, Wang Yunfeng, and Lu Tao sat at a tea table while Fang Heng brewed tea.
"Splash!"
As the tea was poured, its rich aroma immediately filled the surroundings.
"How are things going lately?"
"Wang Yang, you go first."
Upon hearing Fang Heng's words, Wang Yang put down his teacup, sat up straight, and began to report on the recent situation.
"Your Majesty, according to the previously established 10-year plan, all projects have started construction in the past two years. Among them, a total of 10 agricultural bases have been established, and the output of each agricultural base can meet the survival needs of 100 million people."
"One hundred million people, which means even 10 cities can only accommodate one billion? Has the census been completed?"
"It's already done. The current human population is 30 billion."
"So little?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. Before the establishment of the Empire, humanity on Earth suffered greatly from environmental pollution, so the population declined year by year. By the time we took over, there were only 30 billion people left."
Upon hearing this, Fang Heng wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh.
The deed is done, and there's little point in cursing those capitalists anymore.
"Your Majesty, these 10 agricultural bases are mainly for the use of the army. They were built in the ruins of the former cities, in areas that are not suitable for planting."
On the contrary, we have protected all the original fertile land and contracted it out to families willing to grow food, so we are not lacking in food.
"That's good. After all, we can already be considered to be in the interstellar age. It would be a bit ridiculous if people starved to death because of famine. You can continue."
"Yes, Your Majesty. In addition to the agricultural base, we have also restored the original environment. With the cooperation of the biological research laboratory, after more than two years of hard work, we have restored the ecology of the Amazon rainforest and radiated to the surrounding areas. It is expected that in another three years, the entire earth will be able to restore its original blue sky and white clouds environment."
All the heavy industry companies were located on the moon and Mars.
In terms of industry, hundreds of large-scale industrial manufacturing bases have been established in the lunar region, including raw material mining, mineral smelting and processing, which can basically meet the current needs.
This is also progressing steadily according to plan.
As Fang Heng looked at the summary Wang Yang sent over, he listened to Wang Yang's explanation.
Although there were many parts he didn't understand, Ethan provided support from behind the scenes, immediately calculating many of them and giving easy-to-understand explanations.
After Wang Yang finished his report, Fang Heng understood the efforts Wang Yang had made over the past few years.
"Well done, you've worked hard these past few days."

"Serve the people, Your Majesty."
"Okay, let's talk about the technology aspect."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Lu Tao, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who was sitting to the side, also spoke up.
"In terms of scientific and technological research, there has been little progress in energy research. The extraction and storage of antimatter remains a technical challenge. The antimatter engine is still under demonstration and has not yet reached its initial final version."
"In addition, biotechnology research has also reached a bottleneck. There is a lack of sufficient biological samples, and the limitations of biotechnology have begun to emerge. The only progress is in human enhancement agents. After many experiments, the current human enhancement agents can be considered as second-generation. Their enhancement ability can allow humans who have been enhanced by the first-generation enhancement agents to be enhanced again."
We've also tested it, and its physical attributes can be enhanced three times compared to the first enhancement.
"So, that's equivalent to 15 times the physical fitness of an average person?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, the most important thing is to increase lifespan. The second-generation enhancer can increase human lifespan to 1500 years."
"So long?"
Fang Heng was also shocked when he heard this data.
Don't be fooled by the seemingly small increase in lifespan of 1500 years. Consider ancient dynasties, which typically lasted approximately 300 years per cycle.
This period of time is equivalent to the lifespan of five dynasties.
That's why Fang Heng was so shocked when he heard this data.
"The Führer, it's not just lifespan that's increased; the 15-fold improvement in physical fitness is also a huge boost. This means that conventional individual firearms, except for vital areas like the eyes and mouth, will no longer be able to cause fatal damage to the enhanced human body."
"Wow, that's really unexpected."
Listening to Wang Yunfeng's emphasis, Fang Heng quickly understood the power of the second-generation enhancer.
"The second-generation enhancer should be thoroughly tested and researched first, and its leakage is not allowed. Once the technology is mature, all finished products should be destroyed."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The second-generation enhancer is not yet ready to be used, but by combining it with the second-generation enhancer, clones can be further upgraded, giving them even greater combat power.
"Let's continue."
"In terms of robotics research, combining existing robotics technology with the robotics technology here, a new generation of robotics technology has been developed. We have developed a micro-robot that can be controlled by brainwaves, which will be very convenient for manufacturing."
Looking at the robot in the information, Fang Heng was also a little surprised. Wasn't this the miniature robot from Big Hero 6?
Although there are some changes in appearance, they do have similar functions.
"This stuff is pretty good."
Wang Yunfeng, who was standing nearby, also offered a word of praise.
"Let's continue."
Fang Heng waved his hand, signaling Lu Tao to continue.
"Your Majesty, in terms of physics research, the Grand Unified Theory is still under study and there has been little progress so far."
"Two years is not a long time. Don't be discouraged. Research is not something that can be done overnight."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As a science-oriented guy, Fang Heng understands some technology and knows that the development of any technology is not something that can be achieved overnight.
"Yunfeng, how about you over there?"
"Your Majesty, my recruitment work is complete, the reserve and militia systems are in full swing, and the training of new recruits is basically complete. The troops are now in the integration phase. I plan to conduct at least five military exercises within five years, four of which will be conducted in virtual reality and one will be a live-fire exercise."
"Well, I don't know much about military matters either, so I'll have to rely on you to handle it. Also, now that recruitment is complete, the Solar System Defense Line project can begin."
"Your Majesty, isn't it a bit too early to start now?"
"It's getting late. Would you like to take a look at this intelligence report?"
As Fang Heng handed a piece of information to the group, their expressions turned serious after reading it.
"Your Majesty, if this is true, then we should indeed prepare in advance."
The information Fang Heng gave them was about a building ruin discovered in the Sirius system. From it, they deciphered a message that surprised even Fang Heng.
Within the Sirius system, in the distant past, there existed a civilization, which, according to Earth's language, should be called the Black Wolf Civilization.
This is a mechanical civilization that, after breaking through the planetary barrier and entering the interstellar age, developed for thousands of years before beginning its exploration beyond the Heng star system.
They found a probe, thinking they had discovered an alien civilization, and tried to establish contact. However, their home planet was directly invaded by an unknown virus, and everyone died within 10 years.
The last survivor learned the truth before he died: their civilization had been discovered by another biological civilization, which then launched a bio-chemical attack on them, leading to this situation.
The technology at the time also revealed the location of these biological civilizations, which was the Heng Galaxy, named the Yunlan Galaxy by the Black Wolf civilization, 20 light-years away from Sirius.
Unfortunately, their technology was insufficient for interstellar travel, and the information they obtained was only deciphered from probes. Therefore, in the end, they could only leave behind their last words, and their civilization completely vanished.
Upon learning of this news, Fang Heng immediately dispatched an unmanned probe spacecraft to the Yunlan Galaxy to investigate the situation.
Now, the probe has also sent back new information: it is indeed a settlement of this biological civilization, but it is not their home planet.
Fang Heng was very familiar with the power of biological civilization. Just the sheer number of the ground combat troops he had researched was enough to make one despair.
Therefore, Fang Heng was very vigilant about this potentially threatening civilization.
After collecting data for a period of time, the unmanned probe spacecraft also left the area and established an observation station in the nearest star system to monitor the place in real time.
"Your Majesty, it's strange. This Yunlan civilization seems to have advanced technology, so why does it only operate within its own home star system and not expand outwards?"
"This brings us to the limitations of biological civilization. Warp drive is a method of enabling a spaceship to travel faster than the speed of light by distorting the surrounding space gravity."
Conventional spaceships, as long as their metal hulls are strong enough, can ignore the gravitational pull during warp drive. However, the spaceships of biological civilizations are different. In their early stages, their biological spaceships lacked sufficiently robust hulls, and gravity shields were beyond the capabilities of early-stage biological civilizations to develop. Therefore, they remain confined to their home star system, finding it difficult to expand outwards.
Upon hearing Fang Heng's explanation, everyone present understood.
In the Elysium world, Fang Heng did not promote technologies related to biological troops. His main research focused on plants and human enhancement, so they did not know much about these areas.
"However, we must be prepared for danger in times of peace. This civilization poses a great threat to us. Biological warfare is silent and impossible to defend against. Therefore, we must develop robot technology as soon as possible, as well as energy technology. Just crossing 4 light-years has consumed half of our energy reserves. Such energy consumption can only be met by an antimatter core. Therefore, the military's next goal is to establish a solar system defense line to protect our home base from being attacked."
"Yes, Your Majesty." *3
