102: My next goal is to transform the Northwest desert into the Jiangnan region!

"Help! We must properly 'help' them!"

A hot-tempered Military Big Shot slammed the table and excitedly roared, "Don't they like to preach about 'environmental protection'? Don't they constantly accuse us of 'polluting the environment'?"

"Then we will help them turn all the deserts in their countries into oases!"

"And then," a cold curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, "we'll make them trade their most important assets for it!"

"Exactly! Let's do it this way!"

"I think those diamond mines look very good!"

"And those lithium mines in South America!"

"This is simply a super profitable business!"

Instantly!

The entire Meeting Room No. 1 was filled with excitement!

All the Big Shots looked like a group of greedy pirates who had discovered a new continent!

They were all rubbing their fists and their eyes shone brightly!

The person sitting in the main seat quietly watched this scene, which could be described as "demons dancing wildly."

He knew.

Starting today.

Their Xia Nation would begin to face this new world, full of opportunities and challenges, with a brand new, more confident, and more domineering posture!

That afternoon.

A "Pledge Rally" more magnificent than any before was officially convened!

This time, not only the core members of the project team attended.

But also the most elite geologists, meteorologists, ecologists, and agricultural experts from across the country.

Everyone related to "environmental transformation"

Their expressions were solemn and their eyes were fervent!

Because they knew.

Today, they would personally witness a great moment capable of changing the destiny of the nation for the next thousand years!

On the chairman's stand.

Lu Chen was still wearing his simple white research uniform.

There was no excitement or pride on his face about ushering in a great era.

Only a sense of calmness, as if everything was meant to be.

He looked at the aged and simple faces below the stage, filled with anticipation and longing.

He spoke calmly.

"Senior colleagues."

"I know that everyone here has struggled their entire lives for the barren yellow land of our Xia Nation."

"You have poured your most precious youth and sweat onto that desolate land, shrouded in dust storms."

"Your greatest dream is to personally witness that despairing yellow"

"be clothed once again in the green color of hope."

These words, full of understanding and respect, instantly made the eyes of the old experts below the stage—who had spent their lives fighting sandstorms—turn red!

Yes, indeed.

They had waited for this day for too long!

"But,"

Lu Chen suddenly changed the topic!

His entire demeanor shifted!

A terrifying, god-like aura of looking down upon the world and being the sole possessor of power!

Instantly erupted from his slightly slender body!

Enveloping the entire venue!

"Today!"

"I stand here to tell you!"

"Your dreams!"

"Will no longer be dreams!"

"Starting today!"

"I,"

"will make them a reality for you!"

He extended his finger and lightly tapped the air!

The next second!

An incredibly shocking and magnificent panorama instantly appeared on the giant holographic screen behind him!

It was the Northwest Territory of Xia Nation!

A vast, desolate yellow desert filled with the breath of death!

Yet, within this despairing yellow expanse!

A tiny, almost imperceptible green light spot!

Was slowly flickering!

"Do you see it?"

Lu Chen pointed at the green light spot, his voice filled with the confidence and dominance of a Creator God!

"This is the first experimental base of our 'Houtu' Project!"

"The Taklamakan Desert!"

"My next goal is very simple!"

"Within one year!"

"I will make this small green spot!"

"Transform into a vast expanse capable of covering the entire Taklamakan,"

"a Green Sea!"

"I will make the sandstorms of the 'Sea of Death' disappear forever!"

"I will make the riverbeds that have been dry for a thousand years flow again!"

"I will make those continuous sand dunes turn into thousands of miles of fertile"

"Farmland!"

"I want to personally create for the over a billion industrious compatriots of our Xia Nation!"

"Personally,"

"recreate a place of beautiful mountains, clear waters, and singing birds and fragrant flowers,"

"a Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall!"

Boom!!!

This was no longer a declaration!

This was a genesis

Divine Edict, powerful enough to change the colors of mountains and rivers and dim the light of the sun and moon!

In an instant!

The entire auditorium completely erupted!

All the gray-haired old experts suddenly leaped up from their seats like a group of madmen!

They were crying!

Laughing!

Roaring!

Vigorously venting the dreams and desires that had been suppressed in their hearts for a lifetime!

Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall!

Recreating a Jiangnan Beyond the Great Wall!

What magnificent aspirations!

What a heaven-defying great undertaking!

Meanwhile, on the chairman's stand.

Lu Chen quietly watched the aged faces below the stage, which looked like they were possessed by madness.

A faint hint of disdain flashed in his dark eyes, which were as vast as the universe.

Jiangnan?

No.

Your scope,

is still too small.

He slowly turned around and looked at the huge holographic screen behind him.

He extended his finger and lightly tapped the control panel.

The next second!

The Northwest Territory of Xia Nation, representing Earth, instantly vanished.

Replaced by—

A massive planet, fiery red throughout and filled with the aura of desolation and death!

planet!

That was Mars!

"heavenly craft."

"Hmm?"

"Tell me,"

"if one day,"

"we manage to paint this little red broken sphere green too,"

"then the people living on it,"

"how much property tax should they pay?"
