178: The Dyson Sphere Project! Controlling the energy of an entire star!

When Lu Chen's ultimate rhetorical question, filled with faint disdain and a grand vision, "You wouldn't actually think I built such a huge thing just to plant some grass on this tiny, broken rock, would you?" echoed clearly in the expedition's sightseeing hall, that heart, which had long been tempered by various trials and tribulations to be as firm as a rock, unexpectedly began to pound wildly at that moment!

Not for planting grass?!

Then what for?!

Could it be that a terrifying thought, one that made his blood boil, instantly surfaced!

Could this kid really be, as he boasted before,

Going straight to the final step!

Using Mars as a springboard!

To conquer the even more vast and boundless starry sea?!

“Comrade Lu Chen”

His wise eyes were filled with incredible shock!

He looked at the calm young man before him, his voice trembling!

“You kid, tell me the truth!”

“Are you secretly planning some big move behind our backs again?!”

“Big move?”

Lu Chen smiled.

It was a god-like smile, filled with absolute confidence and absolute control.

“Your vision is too narrow.”

A mouthful of hot old blood almost spurted out on the spot!

Again, that phrase?!

Is this kid really at odds with the word "vision"?!

I'm already helping you conquer the entire Solar System!

And you still think my vision is too narrow?!

Then what do you want to do?!

Do you want to put a hat directly on the sun?!

“Exactly.”

Lu Chen, as if seeing through his thoughts, nodded calmly.

“It's exactly as you're thinking.”

“But it's not putting on a hat.”

“It's...”

The corner of his mouth curved into an arc filled with madness and ambition!

“To build a bigger, thicker, and stronger 'shell' for it!”

Boom!!!

This was no longer a declaration!

This was a genesis divine decree, enough to change mountains and rivers, and eclipse the sun and moon!

In an instant!

The entire sightseeing hall fell into a deathly silence.

All the bigwigs present were struck hard on their foreheads as if by a genesis divine lightning bolt capable of splitting heaven and earth!

Completely petrified!

To build a “shell” for the sun?!

What kind of divine concept is this?!

This is no longer scientific research!

This is clearly creating a myth!

“Lu Chen”

Pointing at the calm young man, his lips trembled, unable to utter a complete sentence!

“You’re not joking, are you?”

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

Lu Chen's faint rhetorical question silenced him.

He looked into Lu Chen's eyes, as dark and vast as the cosmos.

There was not a hint of a joke in them.

Only a madness that could suffocate any mortal

And seriousness!

He knew.

This young man was serious!

He truly intended to lead them to accomplish the ultimate miracle that only existed in science fiction novels!

A Dyson Sphere!

“Good! Good! This is excellent!”

“This is the true spirit of a great nation that our Xia Country should possess!”

“Lu Chen!”

He looked at the calm young man, his voice trembling!

“I don’t care what you want!”

“People! Money! Equipment!”

“As long as our Xia Country has it!”

“I'll give it all to you!”

“I have only one request!”

“In the shortest possible time!”

“I want to personally witness our Xia Country’s own divine firmament, capable of controlling the entire sun, rise!”

Lu Chen nodded heavily!

His eyes, as dark and vast as the cosmos, also burned with raging flames!

He knew!

From today onwards!

A new, great era of stellar-level civilization, personally initiated by him,

Will officially begin!

And at this moment.

Thousands of miles away.

The Western Alliance's White House.

Burns and a host of Western Alliance bigwigs were still immersed in the immense fear of being dominated by Xia Country's "planet transformation" technology.

They never dreamed!

That the Eastern demon, whom they regarded as a "thorn in their side",

Had quietly extended its claws towards their common mother,

The Sun!

“Report, sir!”

A blonde, blue-eyed intelligence officer walked into the Oval Office with a hint of a cruel smile on his face.

“Our mole inside Xia Country’s Pangu Technology has sent the latest intelligence!”

“Oh?”

The old man, known for his "iron fist," slowly raised his head from behind the desk.

A venomous, snake-like cold light flashed in his cloudy old eyes!

“He said the Xia Country people have been going crazy again recently, for some unknown reason!”

“They secretly launched a new project, codenamed ‘code name for civilization self-salvation project’!”

“It seems they are developing a new type of”

“Solar panel?!”

“Heh heh.”

The old man sneered dismissively after hearing this.

“A bunch of lunatics who have even developed controllable nuclear fusion.”

“And they're going back to researching such backward photovoltaic technology?”

“It's simply pointless!”

He didn't know.

Just as he uttered these words filled with arrogance and prejudice,

The “madman” he spoke of,

““Gentlemen”

“Are you interested in coming with me”

“To see the scenery on the sun?”
