376: Space Station Program

As Meng Xian's words fell, everyone began to whisper and discuss amongst themselves. There was generally no objection to establishing an Aerospace Administration; the contentious issue was the transfer of personnel, as other departments feared their people would be taken.

Although these individuals were afraid of losing some of their manpower, considering the importance of the Aerospace Administration to the overall situation, even with some reservations, no one raised an objection. They had to prioritize the bigger picture, so even if they had opinions, they had to keep them to themselves.

Meng Xian nodded slightly and said, "Very good. Since no one has any objections, I hope everyone will cooperate actively. It would be unseemly if a transfer order comes down later and then there are protests."

Some people's expressions immediately turned grim. Aerospace involved such a wide range of things, almost every field was touched upon. Various research institutes needed to produce results to receive resource support from within the base, and the prerequisite for producing results often lay with a few key scientific research personnel.

To transfer people from them was like pulling the rug out from under them, and the heads of these scientific research institutions were certainly unwilling. Although they felt some reluctance, for the sake of the overall situation, they still chose silence.

"Second matter!"

Meng Xian continued, "Based on the Aerospace Administration, we will launch the Space Station project. This project aims to establish a scientific research and military facility outside the base to meet our needs in space."

Tian Ming sat quietly in the conference room, his expression calm.

At this moment, Lin Yao spoke up. He looked at Tian Ming with a hint of inquiry, "Tian Ming, what's your opinion? What are your thoughts on this Space Station project?"

Tian Ming smiled slightly and said, "I'm fine with anything. Whatever you want to do, I will fully support it."

With Tian Ming's answer, the atmosphere in the conference room eased slightly. Lin Yao nodded and continued, "Good, in that case, we are relieved."

Meng Xian then said, "Then let Shen Yi, the director of our Anti-gravity Aircraft Research Institute, talk about the Space Station plan."

Shen Yi stood up, opened the document in his hand, and began to introduce it.

"Currently, the institute is developing anti-gravity aircraft and is in the critical stage of overcoming technical challenges. Thanks to General Lu clearing the Star Ring, obstacles for the Space Station project have been removed. Below, I will present the specific plan for the first phase of Space Station construction. Please take a look."

As Shen Yi's words fell, No. 3 directly projected the entire three-dimensional design model of the Space Station in the conference hall.

This model was quite spectacular: a core module two kilometers long, and a Space Station composed of six small module cabins. This Space Station would orbit Blue Star, used for scientific research and military purposes.

"General Lu will participate in the preliminary work. After the anti-gravity aircraft successfully completes its test flight, the Space Station will be perfected by ourselves. The initial goal is to complete the construction of the core module and the disc orbit within one month," Shen Yi said, pointing to the model and introducing each part.

"The core module and the circular orbit, including the living module, control module, Laboratory, propulsion system, power generation system, etc., will adopt a modular design. We will gradually send various components into space for assembly."

In addition, Shen Yi also mentioned issues such as personnel selection and training, as well as plans for the scientific research and military applications of the Space Station. The entire introduction process lasted nearly an hour, during which no one interrupted him, and everyone listened very carefully.

When Shen Yi finished his introduction, warm applause erupted in the conference room.

Meng Xian waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. After a moment, the venue quieted down.

"Blue Star has experienced the Apocalypse, and I think everyone has some worries, mainly because the one-year deadline is getting closer and closer. Where is the future of our race? Will the upcoming war give us enough time to complete the migration to space?"

Everyone remained silent. What Meng Xian said, everyone understood. The war with the zombies was getting closer, and humanity seemed not yet fully prepared. But developing into space might be an option, at least to preserve a spark of hope, and even complete the leap of civilization.

Meng Xian paused and said, "The Space Station project is also paving a retreat for humanity. I hope everyone can fully recognize the importance of the space project. All departments must work together and advance it jointly. Only in this way can we create more possibilities for the future of humanity."

Everyone on the scene was thoughtful. They also understood that this was for the future of humanity, to leave a glimmer of hope for humanity.

Meng Xian stood up and said, "Gentlemen, today's meeting ends here. You may all disperse. Subsequent plans and specific work will be arranged in detail within the next week and notified to each person in charge. During this period, I hope everyone can go all out and prepare for the space project."

As Meng Xian's words fell, everyone in the conference room stood up and left. After everyone left, Meng Xian walked over to Tian Ming.

"Boss, the corpse race has started to show unusual movements. A large number of zombies have begun to build bunkers and defense lines along the Linshan Mountain Range and are already gathering."

"When did you get this news?"

"Eight hours ago, our high-altitude reconnaissance drone discovered it during a routine reconnaissance. Bai Yan's side has already started drafting a combat plan," Meng Xian said.

"There should still be half a year, right?" Tian Ming asked.

Meng Xian didn't know what to say, a bitter smile appearing on his face: "Boss, since we can already go to space, then you shouldn't hold back. Even if Jiang Chen allows the corpse race to reproduce infinitely and fill the entire Blue Star, at worst, we'll give Blue Star to them. How could there be no place for us in the vast universe?"

A hint of coldness appeared on Tian Ming's face as he said, "Are you going to be a stray dog? I can make a move, and even plow the ground once, but how many people can go to space? A few thousand? Or tens of thousands? The battle hasn't even started, and you're already afraid of fighting?"

A trace of panic appeared on Meng Xian's face, and he quickly said, "Boss, there's a problem within the base. Come to your office, and I'll tell you in detail."

Tian Ming frowned slightly, looking at Meng Xian's expression, knowing that the matter was certainly not simple. He nodded, signaling Meng Xian to lead the way, and the two went to Tian Ming's office together.

Upon entering the office, Meng Xian closed the door, walked over, took a deep breath, and began, "Boss, the reason I asked you to make a move is not because I'm afraid of fighting, but because our management is rejecting your existence. You need to use your methods to prove to them that you are their god."

Tian Ming couldn't help but laugh dumbfounded, asking, "What do you mean? Who is rejecting my existence?"

"Several generals under Bai Yan, and most of the main combat personnel of the Super Legion. They believe that over-deifying your existence is extremely wrong. This is a regression of civilization, a compromise to monarchy and divine power. I absolutely cannot allow these ideas to spread within the base, it's truly terrifying!"
